Chapter 263 He provokes you, and you are mean to me?
Chapter 263 He provokes you, and you are mean to me?
The front yard of the bamboo garden is lush and green, and the moonlight shines through the bamboo forest, casting scattered shadows, which gives off a sense of the long journey through the rivers and lakes.
Lei Xing was loosening the soil in the woods with a hoe.
Jiang Huashan thought for a moment, then stepped forward to greet him, "Butler Lei, are you growing vegetables?"
Lei Xing looked at the saplings in his hand, smiled and stood up, "Miss Jiang, you're joking. These are saplings. I saw that Master A Ling's balcony couldn't hold them all, so I thought of clearing out a piece of land here for Master to work on."
"Really?" Hearing this, Jiang Huashan turned around and looked at the balcony on the second floor of the villa.
Shen Guiling's room is a separate small Western-style building. Flower vines extend outwards from the balcony. It is now the blooming season in autumn, and the branches and fruits are in full bloom.
At first I thought this socialite was trying to get close to my grandfather by using the name of growing flowers, but I didn't expect that he actually learned it.
Jiang Huashan couldn't help but doubt his own memory. Did Shen Guiling grow flowers in his previous life? No, he only raised fish. The noble ladies of Jinggang were all in his fish pond.
She was a little skeptical, "Are you saying that those flowers on the balcony were raised by Shen Guiling?"
Lei Xing nodded, "Master A Ling is a very gentle person. He is not good at socializing and likes to grow flowers."
"?" Jiang Huashan glanced at Lei Xing, "It seems you don't know your young master very well."
Lei Xing was a little dissatisfied, "I have served the young master for three years, who else can know the young master better than me?"
"Really? Then let me test you." Jiang Huashan pretended to be casual, "What does your young master like to do when he has nothing to do?"
Lei Xing said, "Young Master rarely has free time. When he does have a break, he either waters the flowers or reads."
"Is he usually busy? What is he busy with?"
Lei Xing thought for a moment, "The young master is filial and visits his wife in his spare time."
It turns out that being able to speak means understanding art. It was clearly Yao Ge who was making things difficult for Shen Guiling, but Lei Xing embellished it and described it as a loving mother and a filial son.
Jiang Huashan saw through it but didn't say anything. "Auntie is so mean, Shen Guiling must hate her, right? I just don't like her."
Lei Xing shook his head, "The young master is kind-hearted and treats everyone gently."
Jiang Huashan, "What about uncle? He never cared about Shen Guiling before, but this time he suddenly left him in Nanwan to recuperate, and Shen Guiling didn't say anything?"
Lei Xing, "No. The young master is very happy."
Jiang Huashan coughed lightly, "Butler Lei, I'm asking you these questions because I'm concerned about Brother Shen...A Ling."
Lei Xing nodded, "I understand. Miss Jiang, this is out of concern, not prying."
"?" Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment and squinted at Lei Xing.
Lei Xing put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, then silently pointed in the direction of the balcony. "Miss Jiang, the question you just asked... is something the young master allowed me to answer."
Jiang Huashan's face turned dark and he turned to look at the balcony.
The young man was wearing black pajamas, looking graceful and elegant, with a wanton and provocative smile on his handsome face.
"..." Jiang Huashan laughed angrily, turned around and left, then suddenly thought of something, turned back, raised his hand to cover half of his face, put his fingertips against his eyebrows, and raised his middle finger towards the balcony.
Shen Guiling raised her eyebrows slightly, wondering what she was thinking about. She smiled even more happily.
"..."

"Miss Jiang, take care. I'm sorry I can't see you off."
"boom!"
Jiang Huashan closed the gate behind him, and Lei Xing, who put on an honest and good face, was turned away.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at! He can even laugh when being given the middle finger. Is this kid a pervert?"
Jiang Huashan was cursing all the way and just as he entered the corridor, he bumped into Shen Lanxi who was entering the garden.
"..."
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, smiled, and said, "What a coincidence?" Then she raised her leg and was about to leave.
Shen Lanxi grabbed her wrist and asked, "Why are you running?"
What's going on now? Anyone who catches her dares to ask her?
Jiang Huashan broke free from Shen Lanxi's hand, diverting all his previous anger towards Shen Guiling. He said fiercely, "What's wrong with me running? Is there anything wrong with me running in my own backyard?"
Gao Zhi turned his head and looked at Shen Lanxi. If it was someone else, he would have slapped them, but when it came to Jiang Huashan, he silently took three steps back.
Shen Lanxi had a blank expression on her face. "You just came out of the bamboo garden. He provoked you, and you were mean to me?"
Jiang Huashan couldn't continue to be so fierce. Shen Lanxi's gloomy look was somewhat like her previous life. She had always been jealous of the past, so she always had some prejudice against Shen Lanxi.
Her attitude towards Shen Lanxi was very simple. Before he did something to really hurt her, she would at most just make him angry. But now, when she suddenly saw a familiar shadow, Jiang Huashan no longer had any interest in bullying him.
She sneered and turned away.
Shen Lanxi also noticed the change in Jiang Huashan. After hesitating for a second, she softened her expression and pulled him back. "Stand still. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."
Jiang Huashan covered half of her ear and said, "I don't want to listen."
Shen Lanxi broke off her other hand and said, "Don't run around during this time."
Jiang Huashan heard what he meant and squinted his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Shen Lanxi let go of her hand. "Xiao Lanlan's matter won't be settled for a while. You must be careful with your words and actions during this period. Don't go out casually, and don't let anyone catch you. As for those rumors at school, if you don't like to hear them, I can help you get leave."
Jiang Huashan understood the hidden meaning in his words and temporarily put aside her personal prejudice. "How do you know it can't be solved in a short time? Have you found out anything?"
Shen Lanxi didn't want to say more. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Just remember what I just said."
Jiang Huashan paused for a moment and immediately stopped asking further questions.
Shen Lanxi is a proud and arrogant person. In his eyes, she is just a little girl who can only act like a scoundrel. Even if there is something wrong, he would not bother to say anything.
"Oh." She turned cold in an instant and turned away.
Shen Lanxi looked at the figure with thorns on his back, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes.
After the person walked away, Gao Zhi silently took two steps forward and said, "Master, Miss Jiang is ungrateful. I will go and teach her a lesson for you."
Shen Lanxi turned and looked at him.
Gao Zhi looked up at the sky and said, "Master, if you're worried about Miss Jiang, you can just say it directly. You'll probably end up getting yourself killed by beating around the bush like this."
Shen Lanxi's eyes were cold, "I'm worried about her?"
Gao Zhi glanced down at Shen Lanxi and then immediately looked away. "The Fu family is throwing dirty water on the Shen Garden girls. It's easy for them to be affected. Miss Sui'er has a mother, Miss Mianzhi has a father, and the old man who protects Miss Jiang the most is not here right now. Aren't you waiting here for Miss Jiang because you're worried that she'll suffer?"
But when he saw her coming out of the bamboo garden, he got angry. The young master, who had not experienced the vicissitudes of life, could not bear the pain of love.
"You're being clever." Shen Lanxi turned and walked around Gao Zhi, but stopped after taking two steps. Her expression was cold. "Why don't you just say it directly?"
Gao Zhi instantly became alert and stepped in front of Shen Lanxi, "You have to say this..."
He cleared his throat, his brows furrowed. "Sister, listen to me! I've been standing here in the cold wind waiting for you for an hour. I just want to tell you, don't be afraid. I'm here, and I'll protect you..."
Shen Lanxi's eyelids twitched slightly, and she turned and walked into the corridor.
