I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 617 What you like is... Little Flower

The black skirt was wrapped with silver yarn, like a mermaid's tail at the bottom of the abyss. The faintly visible blue shoulder gauze looked like the waves wrapping around a fish's tail. It was such a coincidence that this dark-colored dress was the same one Shen Lanxi had chosen just now.

Zhang Ru thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes. There were at least three thousand dresses in the courtyard. How could they have chosen the same one?

The staff in charge of styling was also stunned. The theme of this birthday party was the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Girls of this age are still more sweet and girlish. If this dark color scheme is not worn well, it will just look out of place and not presentable.

But since both young masters chose them at the same time, the workers would not dare to say it directly even if they disagreed.

Shen Guiling naturally saw everyone's reaction, but he did not change his mind. He took out the dress separately and hung it on a conspicuous hanger.

"Let her try it, maybe she'll like it."

"I think it looks good. Let Shanshan try it."

Suddenly, a lazy female voice was heard in the courtyard. Shen Jiao strode into the chrysanthemum garden, picked up the dress on the hanger and looked at it carefully. After a moment, she raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Guiling, "You have good taste, much better than your blind father."

This was a double entendre. Shen Guiling didn't respond, but smiled and greeted, "Auntie."

Shen Jiao nodded and looked around, a little confused. "Why are you all standing in the yard? Where's Shanshan?"

Just as Zhang Ru was about to speak, Shen Guiling deliberately glanced towards the embroidery building with an obscure expression.

"She and Brother Lan Xi are talking in the room."

"Lan Xi?!" Shen Jiao turned around and looked at Shen Guiling with a frown, "What's wrong with you? You..."

Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Jiao held back her breath, gave Shen Guiling a cold look, and turned to walk towards the main hall.

Shen Guiling was silent for a moment before following him into the main hall. Just as he closed the door, Shen Jiao's expression suddenly changed. She pointed at him and started yelling, "How could you let Shanshan face Lan Xi alone? You're the one who caused this trouble, and you want Shanshan to bear Lan Xi's wrath? Is that all you're capable of?"

If it were someone else, their first reaction to being scolded for no apparent reason would be to get angry or to question him. However, Shen Guiling immediately grasped the contradiction in Shen Jiao's words, remained calm, and followed the clues. "When I arrived, Brother Lan Xi had already found Shan Shan. It's not that I didn't stop him, it's that I didn't have time."

After hearing this, Shen Jiao also looked at Shen Lanxi with displeasure, sneering, "He really knows how to seize the opportunity. He's obviously incompetent, yet he dares to cause trouble for Shan Shan?"

After saying that, he glanced at Shen Guiling again and said, "What can't you stop? That day in Dongwan, didn't you send Shen Lanxi away with just a few words? I'm warning you, I can ignore the mess between you and Lan Xi, but if you can't clean up your mess, don't mess with Xiaohuaer in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Shen Guiling, "What happened between Shen Lanxi and me?"

Shen Jiao raised her eyebrows, looking like a queen that I don’t even bother to describe.

"..." Shen Guiling was silent for a long time, then raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

"Nothing to say?"

Shen Guiling shook his head, "I don't know what to say."

Shen Jiao snorted coldly, "I've said everything I need to say. You can do whatever you want."

"Aunt..." Shen Guiling raised her eyes, her gaze clear. "That day in Dongwan, I said some very hurtful words to make Lan Xi give up. I originally just wanted him to stop pestering me, but now he suddenly came to me, and I'm worried..."

Shen Jiao's expression changed slightly, and before Shen Guiling could finish, she angrily shouted, "He dares?!"

“Boom—boom—boom—”

Shen Lanxi's back was stiff and pressed tightly against the door. The moment Jiang Huashan got close to her, his mind went blank. The red lips in front of him kept opening and closing, but he had no idea what she was saying.

The burning breath brushed across his cheek, and Shen Lanxi's eyes gradually glowed with a faint light. She unconsciously raised her hand...

Jiang Huashan chattered for a long time and waited for a long time but Shen Lanxi didn't respond at all. Finally, she lost all her patience and pushed Shen Lanxi hard.

"Are you going to tell me or not? Shen Lanxi, you're keeping me in suspense and not telling me what's next. Do you know that I'll get a stye on my butt?"

As soon as his fingertips brushed the fabric of her waist, he was thrown away with a strong force.

"..." Shen Lanxi secretly exhaled, moved her fingertips and clenched her fists tightly.

Jiang Huashan crossed his arms, "What? You still want to hit me? Believe it or not, I'll tell Grandpa to punish you!"

"..." Shen Lanxi took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, and pretended to be calm, "I do have something to tell you."

Jiang Huashan took a step back and squinted at him. "You should start with a story."

Shen Lanxi was silent for a moment, then took out the silver longevity locket that she had treasured for a long time from her pocket, "This..."

Jiang Huashan originally had a sarcastic look on her face, but her expression immediately changed after seeing Grandma Wu's longevity lock, "How did this longevity lock get into your hands?" As she said that, she snatched the silver lock and held it in her hand to confirm it repeatedly.

Shen Lanxi didn't know why she reacted so strongly, so she carefully explained, "I picked it up on the road in Xiangying. I asked Grandma Wu about it, and she said she had given it to you."

Jiang Huashan frowned, "You knew it was mine? Then why didn't you give it back to me in the first place?"

Shen Lanxi knew she was in the wrong and looked away. "I wanted to return it a few times, but..."

"Excuse!" Jiang Huashan bluntly exposed his lie, "Five years. If you wanted to pay it back, you would have paid it back long ago."

Shen Lanxi's tone was slightly stiff, and she remained silent without responding.

Jiang Huashan was right. Apart from the initial lack of opportunity, the rest of the five years were because he didn't want to pay it back.

Because there is no bond between them except this silver lock. If the silver lock is replaced, the only connection between him and her will be severed.

He couldn't bear it.

Jiang Huashan felt inexplicably irritated. This lock was the only evidence that her grandfather held in his hand before he died. She had always wanted to use this clue to find out who the real poisoner was. Now the lock was back in her hands again. This development was simply terrifying to think about.

Could it be that she was really responsible for poisoning my grandfather in the previous life?

At that time, she had not yet awakened, and there was no guarantee that she would not do something against her will.

But if that's the case...

Jiang Huashan clenched the silver lock tightly in her hand. If this was true, she could not forgive herself.

Shen Lanxi noticed that her attitude had become distant again, and he frowned slightly. His words were filled with humility that he himself had not noticed, "Why do you... hate me so much?"

Jiang Huashan's mind was completely consumed with memories of her past life. Hearing this out of the blue, she retorted without a second thought, "That's because you hate me! If you hate me, I hate you!"

Shen Lanxi had never felt so uncomfortable about not being understood. If it were someone else, the conversation would have been over, but it happened to be Jiang Huashan, the person he had the most trouble with.

"When did I hate you?" He continued to ask, controlling his temper.

Jiang Huashan, "When will you know clearly?"

"I don't know!" Shen Lanxi raised her voice, a blazing fire burning in her deep eyes, "I don't know at all!"

Jiang Huashan was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Shen Lanxi raised her chin slightly and took a step closer to her. Her height of nearly 1.9 meters was extremely oppressive.

"Tell me, what did I do to make you think I hate you? What thing? What sentence? Tell me."

Jiang Huashan frowned, realizing that there was something strange about Shen Lanxi in front of her, but she couldn't tell what was strange about her.

Shen Lanxi lowered her eyes, her dark pupils gleaming faintly, "Can't you really see? I like..."

"boom--"

There was a loud bang, and the door behind him was suddenly kicked open.

Jiang Huashan was startled and squinted his eyes to look out the door. When he saw it was Shen Jiao, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could catch his breath, a figure slowly walked out from behind Shen Jiao.

The man looked at her and smiled, a smile that was indescribably dangerous. "Auntie, you scared Shanshan."

Jiang Huashan, “…”

The wiggling in Shen Lanxi's eyes instantly turned into ice. He stood up, half-lifted his eyelids and looked outside the door. When he saw the uninvited guest clearly, Hei Yao's pupils were instantly filled with gloom.

Shen Jiao walked into the room with a ruthless pace, looked between the two of them, and without saying a word, stood in front of Jiang Huashan.

"What do you want to say behind closed doors?"

Jiang Huashan then remembered the key point and poked his head out from behind Shen Jiao, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Shen Lanxi glanced at Shen Jiao with a calm expression, "Nothing."

"Nothing whatsoever..."

"Since it's nothing, then everything is fine. There are still many details to be finalized for the banquet. Shanshan, have you chosen your dress yet?"

Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment and looked at Shen Jiao with a little surprise.

Even if she was slow-witted, she could sense that the Queen was ordering Shen Lanxi to leave. How strange! The Queen had always looked down upon the Second House, so why was she suddenly hostile to Shen Lanxi?

Shen Lanxi frowned slightly, was silent for a moment, nodded at Shen Jiao, turned and walked out the door.

Shen Guiling was standing by the door. When Shen Lanxi passed by, he stepped aside with a smile on his face.

"Brother Lan Xi, I'll take you there."

Shen Lanxi paused slightly, turned her head and looked at him coldly.

One of them challenged with a smile, the other responded with a cold look. No matter how you looked at it, their relationship was incompatible. But in Shen Jiao's eyes, it took a different meaning.

What's wrong with Shen Guiling? He dares to flirt with them in front of them. Wouldn't Shen Lanxi be charmed to death by such a smile?

Jiang Huashan didn't understand what was going on between the two of them for a moment. She pulled Shen Jiao's hand, covered her mouth, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the two of them? They look so thready."

"Don't worry about it." Shen Jiao patted her forehead gently, thought for a moment, and said loudly, "I'm on my way, so I'll take Lan Xi home."

Shen Lanxi and Shen Guiling were slightly stunned and turned to look at Shen Jiao at the same time.

Shen Jiao raised her chin, "Why? You don't want to? Do you have to ask A Ling to send you off?"

Shen Lanxi did not respond, her gaze fell back on Shen Guiling, her expression becoming even colder.

Does Shen Jiao want to get him out of the way and create conditions for Shen Guiling?

Shen Guiling didn't understand what was going on and looked at Shen Jiao with some hesitation.

Shen Jiao felt annoyed when she saw the two of them looking at each other. She gave Shen Lanxi a look to follow her and then left the room first.

Seeing this, Shen Guiling became increasingly suspicious. Shen Jiao had given him the same look just now. After calling him into the hall, she said some inexplicable words. Now she had the same look again. What did it mean?

Shen Lanxi stood still and turned to look at Jiang Huashan.

Jiang Huashan was afraid that he would find out that there was something fishy going on between her and Shen Guiling, so in order to draw a clear line between them, she slammed the door shut while the two people outside were not paying attention.

"..."

Shen Guiling was so angry at her behavior that she laughed. She turned around, walked past Shen Lanxi and went down the embroidery building.

Shen Lanxi stared at the closed door for a long time without moving, until Shen Jiao urged her downstairs, then she turned around and went downstairs.

Shen Jiao waited for him in the corridor. Shen Lanxi understood what she meant and followed Shen Jiao out of the chrysanthemum garden.

Shen Guiling walked in front, and when he passed the fork in the inner garden, he turned sideways and looked towards the orchid garden...

Under the corridor, Shen Jiao and Shen Lanxi stood beside the lotus pond. Shen Jiao opened and closed her mouth, saying something inaudible, while Shen Lanxi's eyes were indifferent and her emotions were unclear.

*

"Lan Xi, I'm very grateful to you for the Weiyang Theater incident. If you need my help in the future, I'll be happy to help you. But let's keep things separate. Don't involve Xiao Huaer in the matter between you and Shen Guiling. I don't want to see anything like today again. Otherwise, I'll have to tell this old man the truth about you and A Ling."

Shen Jiao's face was serious and she looked like she would not compromise.

Her thoughts were simple: no matter how much the master loved Shen Lanxi, he couldn't accept her liking a man, let alone her own brother. If such a scandal got out, Shen Lanxi's future position as head of the family might be in jeopardy. He had been educated in the family since childhood, so he should know how to make choices.

"What happened today?" Shen Lanxi raised her eyes, neither cold nor indifferent, "Aunt, are you trying to stop me from seeing Jiang Huashan?"

Shen Jiao was stunned. Wasn't Shen Lanxi's reaction right? Why did she feel like she was going to fight to the death? So, she reiterated in a tough tone, "I just don't want Xiaohua to get hurt."

Shen Lanxi narrowed her eyes slightly. "It seems that Aunt is very satisfied with Shen Guiling? That licentious hotel in Dongwan is also Aunt's work, right? Since Aunt mentioned the old man, then I would like to ask, if Grandpa knew that you were so disrespectful to the elderly, would he still agree to let Jiang Huashan follow you?"

Shen Jiao's heart suddenly tightened. She had known that Shen Lanxi was not easy to deal with, so she had abandoned Qingshan Juke directly. She didn't expect that he would still find a handle on her.

"Aunt, why is she silent? Grandpa doesn't agree with me, so is it possible that he can help them?"

This icy guy is usually so cold that he doesn't even have a trace of popularity. Why is he so sour when he speaks? It turns out that he has become twisted because of unrequited love.

Shen Jiao coughed lightly. "That's true, but your standards are still a bit too much for this old man. After all, you are the future heir of the Shen family, and everyone outside is watching..."

"Aunt..." Shen Lanxi interrupted her calmly, "You also said that I am the heir of the Shen family..."

Shen Jiaoning choked and was a little confused.

Shen Lanxi's eyes were cold and her aura was imposing. "You are a businessman and a smart person. You should know better than anyone else who can give Jiang Huashan more, me or Shen Guiling. Since you don't object to Shen Guiling, then you have no reason to reject me."

"!"

"Om-"

Shen Jiao suddenly felt as if someone had hit her head with a hammer.

It took her a long time to react. She looked at the embroidery building, then at the bamboo garden, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Lanxi's noble and handsome face.

"You...are attracted by Xiaohuaer?"
