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

Chapter 519 Undercurrents before the Banquet

Shen Qingyu was the last one to enter the banquet. As soon as he entered the peony garden, he froze in his tracks.

From his perspective: the breeze blew on her face, Jiang Huashan's face was as red as a peach and she was shy and timid, Shen Lanxi was showing her fangs and grabbing Jiang Huashan's hand tightly.

In public, in front of everyone, in broad daylight, is this happening?

Shen Qingyu narrowed his eyes slightly. This bastard Shen Lanxi really was as open-minded as he said.

brute!

He was happy, but why didn't he consider Xiaohua?

At first, he was also confused by Shen Lanxi and thought he was too cowardly.

Later I thought about it and realized that this was not right!

Xiao Huaer has always dreamed of being her grandfather's granddaughter. She treated them as her brothers and that's why she was close to them and trusted them. However, they took advantage of this trust and secretly pursued her own desires. How could Shen Lanxi have the nerve to say that she had never concealed such a thing?

You bastard! You still have the nerve to not cover up? This is so shameless! You're not going offline!

Shen Qingyu sneered, walked through the crowd without looking around, and stopped in front of the two people with his arms folded across his chest.

Jiang Huashan only felt a shadow covering her head. Just as she raised her eyes, Shen Qingyu slapped her in the face, breaking up the alliance between her and Shen Lanxi.

"..."

Jiang Huashan's eyes twitched, and she was about to speak when Shen Qingyu grabbed her chair and turned it 180 degrees, then leaned against the table, standing between the two of them.

"What are you talking about? Talk to me too?"

They are all exposed, and everyone knows what is hidden in their hearts.

There was a fierce look in Shen Qingyu's eyes, but Shen Lanxi didn't see anything. She lowered her eyes to look at the slap mark on the back of her hand, and her pupils were dark.

Shen Zhuang noticed early on that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and warned them slightly, "Why don't you move a chair yourself when you want to chat? Why do you have to squeeze in the middle?"

Shen Qingyu smiled, looking nonchalant, "You don't understand, Brother Lan Xi likes me to squeeze in the middle, right? Brother Lan Xi?"

Shen Lanxi looked calm and looked at him without saying a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Lan Dai had been secretly observing Shen Qingyu since he entered the garden. Seeing Shen Qingyu provoking Shen Lanxi as soon as he came up, she couldn't help but worry for him.

I heard that Prince Shen has already been designated as the heir of the Shen family. Will Shen Qingyu be retaliated against for not giving him face?

Shen Yuan was afraid that Shen Qingyu would not know the seriousness of the matter and anger Shen Zhuang, so he stood up and scolded her in a pretentious manner, "Qingyu, even if you're joking, you should know when to go out of your way. The elders are watching, so don't be too rude."

Shen Qingyu turned a deaf ear to them, pulled a chair over and placed it between Jiang Huashan and Shen Lanxi, and started playing with his mobile phone leisurely.

"..."

Are you sick?

Jiang Huashan looked around and finally loosened his stiff fist. With so many outsiders here today, if they started fighting, it would be a disgrace to the Shen family.

The first and second branches of the Shen family have always been at odds with each other. In the eyes of others, Shen Qingyu's provocation became the normal struggle between the first and second branches. Therefore, everyone had different thoughts but no one paid attention to Jiang Huashan.

Zhou Yanheng smiled faintly, seemingly watching the show like everyone else, but in fact, the emotions in his heart were terrifyingly deep.

Shen Mianzhi followed Zhou Yanheng's gaze, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "I heard from Grandpa Zhou that Brother Heng, you also like playing chess?"

Zhou Yanheng turned his head and looked at her calmly, "Yes."

Zhou Guochao smiled and continued, "Ever since losing to Ah Ling last time, this kid hasn't accepted his defeat and has been secretly practicing for a long time. I heard from your father that you like playing chess too? Perfect, you can have a go with Ah Heng after dinner."

Zhou Yanheng smiled and said, "Grandpa, with so many people listening, please at least give me some face."

Shen Mianzhi politely declined, "I just like it, but my chess skills are not very good. I am afraid I can't be a match for Brother Heng."

Zhou Yanheng said, "Who says we have to be equally matched to be rivals? We can play for fun too."

Zhou Guochao was very satisfied with Zhou Yanheng's cooperation and nodded in agreement, "You're right, just treat it as a joke."

Not far away, Su Zhuo sat alone in a corner, watching Shen Mianzhi and the Zhou family chatting happily, his eyes full of loneliness.

"Tsk! If you like her, go after her."

Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that Su Miao had come in at some point and was looking at him with disgust.

Su Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable when his hidden thoughts were exposed, and he stood up and wanted to leave.

Su Miao couldn't bear to watch it any longer and grabbed his arm, "Where are you going? If you keep being so cowardly, Zhizhi will be deceived by that bad guy Zhou Yanheng."

Su Zhuo was somewhat helpless, "Miao Miao, don't speak so harshly."

"That's right. I really don't know why you're so cowardly. Brother, you're not a 200-pound fat guy anymore. Although you can't compare to Shen Guiling, you're still more than enough to compare to Zhou Yanheng. Can you stand up straight?"

"..." Su Zhuo lowered his eyes, "But... she doesn't like me."

Shen Mianzhi only looked at him with peace in her eyes, but not when she looked at Zhou Yanheng. There were all kinds of emotions hidden in her eyes.

Su Miao frowned. "If she doesn't like you, can't you fight for her? People's preferences change. If you just stand in the corner and peek, you will never be able to win her love in this life."

Su Zhuo chuckled and shook his head, "How can it be so easy?"

The negotiations between the Shen family and the Zhou family are not just a matter between Shen Mianzhi and Zhou Yanheng, but also a marriage between the two families.

Similarly, the relationship between him and Shen Mianzhi is not just a matter of like or dislike, but whether this liking can support him in becoming enemies with two families?

The Su family is different from the Zhou family. Rather than having powerful military power, Grandpa hopes that his future marriage partner will be someone from an upstart regime, such as the president's daughter Yu Sheng.

As for Shen Rang, he has been in charge of the Shen family's secret hall and has long been guilty of it. If he marries into the Zhou family, Shen Rang's status in the Shen family will also rise.

Now Shen Mianzhi can get the maximum benefit without paying anything, so why should he bother to gamble on a love that may change in the future?

Seeing that Su Zhuo was unmoved, Su Miao angrily shook off his hand and said, "Whatever you want. I won't be the one to regret it later anyway."

While the two were talking, Zheng Song rushed into the garden with a gloomy face. Su Miao didn't pay attention for a moment and was almost knocked away by this big guy.

Zheng Song walked straight to Shen Zhuang's side without stopping, "Old man..."

He leaned over and whispered a few words, and Shen Zhuang's face changed drastically immediately. He even lost his composure and turned back to check Zheng Song's expression to confirm that he had heard it correctly.

Shen Zhuang's reaction immediately caught everyone's attention. He was the Shen family's pillar of support, so what storms had he not seen? To be so startled, something big must have happened.

Everyone's alarm bells suddenly rang.

Jiang Huashan lowered his head and held his forehead. A thousand groundhogs were roaring in his heart. The storm was finally coming.

Zhou Yanheng leaned against the armchair with a slight smile on his face.

After a moment, Shen Zhuang stood up, patted Shen Lanxi's shoulder gently, and looked at everyone with a smile, "Something happened in the backyard, I'll be back soon. Lanxi, take good care of the guests."
