Chapter 781 Asking for an explanation
"Shen Qingyu?!"
The ferocious, seemingly incurable expression on Jiang Huashan's face melted away in an instant. Her eyes lit up, and like a joyful bird finally returning to its nest, she ran straight towards the figure under the corridor without hesitation.
This scene fell into Shen Lanxi's eyes exactly, so sharp and dazzling.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Huashan's voice was filled with obvious joy.
Shen Qingyu had already given up on correcting her disrespectful address. He glanced at Shen Lanxi meaningfully, as if it was a matter of course: "It's raining so hard, and I heard that our lawyer Jiang hasn't returned home yet. Should I hurry to take Her Royal Highness home?"
He said it lightly, but the truth was that he was frightened back to Jinggang Harbor after seeing Jiang Huashan personally clarifying things for Yu Sheng. Old Madam Gu was still angry with him.
How could Jiang Huashan not understand that Shen Qingyu was trying to cheer her up and annoy Shen Lanxi? She immediately took his arm affectionately and said in a clear voice, "What are you waiting for? Let's go home!"
After saying that, she seemed to have just remembered that there was someone standing behind her. She turned around and waved casually at Shen Lanxi: "Brother Qingyu is here to take me there now. You don't have to explain to Grandpa. Go back and find your Miss Su!"
Shen Qingyu grinned cooperatively, and with a "swish" sound, he opened the large black umbrella. He imitated Jiang Huashan and waved his hand in the direction of Shen Lanxi. His tone was drawn out and full of teasing: "Did you hear me? Go find your Miss Su~"
Shen Lanxi: “…”
The umbrella Shen Qingyu brought was large enough, and he deliberately tilted it towards Jiang Huashan. Even though the begonias in the courtyard had been beaten to pieces by the heavy rain and could not lift their heads, the ends of Jiang Huashan's hair were not wet at all.
The vehicle drove smoothly into Shen Garden, and the three went straight to Qin Garden to meet the old man.
"grandfather--"
As soon as he entered Qin Garden, Jiang Huashan couldn't help but quicken his pace, trotting towards the brightly lit hall. After all the commotion today, he should have returned to give the old man an explanation. The old man had shown him the utmost respect by waiting until now.
However, as soon as she stepped into the hall, she was stunned by the scene before her and stood still.
Inside the flower hall, Shen Zhuang sat upright on the main chair, his expression serene. Below him, over twenty red sandalwood armchairs were neatly arranged, each completely occupied. A dozen or so people stood quietly behind the chairs, making the originally spacious hall seem rather crowded.
Looking around, I saw a sea of people.
Aside from a few core members of the second generation of the Shen family, the rest were members of the Shen clan who had either lived in the old house for years or held important positions within the family. They seemed to be in the middle of some discussion, which was abruptly interrupted by her sudden intrusion. Everyone's gaze, either probing or scrutinizing, was focused on her.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
"grandfather."
At this time, Shen Lanxi and Shen Qingyu walked into the flower hall one after another.
The two seemed to have anticipated this situation, and their faces showed no surprise. Shen Lanxi's expression was as cold as ever, and Shen Qingyu had restrained his joking. The two of them were calm and composed, nodding slightly to Shen Zhuang, who was in the main seat, and the elders in the hall, their postures calm and unperturbed.
When the Shen family members saw Shen Lanxi, the expressions on their faces relaxed for a long time and they greeted her with a smile.
"Lan Xi is back?"
Shen Lanxi's expression was indifferent. She only nodded slightly in response to everyone, then turned her head to look at Jiang Huashan, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you come over and sit down?"
"Do you want me to say it?" Jiang Huashan retorted in a low voice without any mercy, but she did not stop and trotted to the empty seat next to Shen Jiao and sat down.
As soon as she entered the room, Shen Jiao gave her a reassuring look.
Shen Hang glanced at Jiang Huashan, his smile faded a little, and he turned to face Shen Zhuang who was sitting in the main seat, "Grandpa, where were we just talking about?"
"Speaking of some people who dare to show up in public and defend the traitor who is condemned by thousands of people, it is really damaging to the reputation of our Shen family!" An elderly man with white hair and beard slammed his staff to the ground, his voice trembling slightly with anger.
Shen Yuan didn't expect Shen Qingyu to come back. He looked surprised and tilted his head and whispered, "I'm warning you, no matter what they say later, you have to be quiet. Do you hear me?"
Shen Qingyu pretended not to hear, leaned to the other side, and refused bluntly.
Rebellious son! Shen Yuan glared at him unhappily.
Jiang Huashan stretched his neck, scanning the crowd in the hall. Then, covering his mouth, he approached Shen Jiao and asked, "Strange, where's my cousin?"
According to convention, this kind of situation where the elders collectively come forward to exert pressure should be led by Shen Jun, who has the highest seniority. Why is it Shen Hang?
Shen Jiao stared straight ahead, her posture dignified, only her neck moved imperceptibly. "I heard... he watched the live broadcast of your press conference, lost his breath, and passed out. He's still lying at home."
Jiang Huashan's eyes widened in shock, and she responded in a similar tone, "You're already old, why are you still so impatient?"
The corner of Shen Jiao's mouth twitched slightly: "How dare you say that? If I hadn't taken two heart-protecting pills, I would have been lying down by now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huashan could only force out a guilty laugh.
Seeing Jiang Huashan still laughing shamelessly, Shen Hang's face suddenly turned pale and he said angrily:
"Old man, the crime of treason is not the courage of one person, but it concerns the survival of the entire Shen family. Please give us an explanation."
