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

Chapter 221 Hiss, sour and sweet

The ward next door.

Shen Guiling was leaning against a soft pillow and peeling an apple. The red fruit was spinning smoothly under her fingertips. The peel was so thin and transparent that it looked like it would break at any time.

Lei Xing secretly observed Shen Guiling's expression and asked cautiously, "Master, are you going to peel this apple for Miss Jiang?"

The young master is really a very gentle and kind person. Even though he has gone through a lot of hardships, he still thinks about others when he wakes up. When he heard that Miss Jiang was still asleep, he ignored the injury on his leg and went to visit Miss Jiang in a wheelchair.

Lei Xing looked at the haggard and broken young master in front of him, feeling extremely guilty. He should have insisted on staying with the young master on the night of the charity banquet, otherwise this would not have happened.

"Aling."

A voice came from outside the door.

The sharp blade paused slightly, just cutting the fruit stem, and the skin broke off.

Shen Guiling slowly raised her eyes, and her cold gaze slowly began to turn gentle as if controlled by a siphon.

"dad."

Shen Qian was slightly stunned.

The young man in front of him was as pale as paper, with slightly curled eyelashes as black as crow wings and a thin layer of shadow on his eyelids. At first glance, it looked like someone had put makeup on the corners of his eyes with powder.

The sickly white and the black in the eyes form an extreme contrast, and the appearance is so beautiful that it is difficult to describe in words.

No wonder Bai Zheng suddenly changed his mind.

Shen Qian collected his thoughts slightly and slowly walked to the bedside. "You suffered a lot. Are you feeling better?"

Shen Guiling propped up his upper body and sat up straight, "It's okay now."

Shen Qian nodded, his eyes casually sweeping over Lei Xing. Shen Guiling understood and looked up at Lei Xing, "Butler Lei, the ward is too dull. Can you buy me some flowers?"

"Yes." How could Lei Xing not understand? He nodded and left the room.

Seeing Shen Guiling's cooperation, Shen Qian's expression became more gentle. "A Ling, I heard from Zheng Song about the Jinwan dinner. You were wronged."

Shen Guiling shook her head with an innocent look in her eyes. "Dad, just don't blame Shanshan and me for being ignorant. You're about to run for election, and that Governor Yan..."

"He's just the governor of Jinwan. Dad wouldn't be unable to get his job without her. What happened that night was all your...your mother's own decision. It wasn't my idea."

This is true. Shen Guiling is, after all, his son, Shen Qian. Even if he is not good enough, he would not be reduced to toasting and currying favor with a third-rate governor. He instructed Shen Guiling to mingle among noble ladies because a good marriage could create the greatest value for him. As for Yan Meiting's value, Shen Qian did not take it seriously.

Not only that, Shen Qian was extremely disgusted when he learned about Yao Ge's behavior. He really couldn't understand how the wife he had carefully chosen could become such a vulgar and stupid woman?

The current Yao Ge is not worthy of his ambition at all.

Shen Guiling looked at Shen Qian with a little surprise, with a look of relief in her eyes, "Now that Dad said that, I feel much better. I thought... I misunderstood Dad."

Hearing this, Shen Qian's original guilt intensified. After a moment's deliberation, his tone softened considerably. "A Ling, why would Bai Zheng kidnap you and Shan Shan for no reason?"

Shen Guiling was obviously stunned for a moment, and hesitated to speak.

The emotion in Shen Qian's eyes turned colder. "Is it really...her?"

Shen Guiling hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Mr. Bai said that he made a deal with...Auntie, so Auntie sold me and Shanshan to him."

"Idiot!" Shen Qian had originally only suspected Yao Ge, but now that his suspicions were confirmed, his blood pressure was about to rise. However, he quickly reacted and turned to look at Shen Guiling, "What about Shan Shan? Does she know?"

Shen Guiling shook her head. "She was drugged and unconscious at the time. She didn't know what Mr. Bai said."

"That's good." Shen Qian didn't dare to relax at all. "A Ling, Bai Zheng is already dead, and Lao Wu hasn't found any evidence. The old man will definitely ask you about what happened. You..."

Shen Guiling raised his eyes, his eyes sincere, "Dad, don't worry, I know what to say."

Shen Qian suddenly froze and looked quietly at the boy in front of him. He really couldn't believe that there was such a sensible child in the world.

Shen Guiling, "Dad, did grandpa ask you to come see me first?"

Shen Qian nodded, his face darkening as he thought of something. "I'm afraid the old man has already suspected me, especially at this critical moment."

"Don't worry, Dad. Grandpa won't pursue this matter."

Shen Qian was slightly stunned, with a puzzled look on his face, "How do you know?"

Shen Guiling, "Grandpa is so smart. If he really wanted to investigate, why would he let you, Dad, come to see me first? This matter is not complicated. Grandpa must have guessed that Mr. Bai kidnapped Shanshan and me with Aunt's hand. But Aunt is your wife, Dad. Grandpa will definitely not make a big fuss for the sake of the Shen family. So as long as we can solve this matter ourselves, Grandpa will not pursue it."

Shen Qian suddenly had an idea and realized it belatedly.

Indeed, even though Bai Zheng was dead and the two children were still alive, the old man didn't seem to be in a hurry to get an explanation.

Shen Qian unconsciously recalled the look in Shen Zhuang's eyes when he looked back at him before leaving the house, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"A Ling, your grandfather has given you the right to decide."

Shen Guiling is the person involved, and Jiang Huashan has fainted again. Now as long as he points out Yao Ge, Yao Ge will have no way to defend himself.

"Aling..."

Shen Guiling lowered his eyes, looking at the knife in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Dad, don't worry, I will keep it a secret for Auntie. Auntie and you are one, we will rise and fall together. This is also the most important period of your career. Even if it is for Dad, I will forgive Auntie."

Shen Qian was speechless.

He never expected that this child would endure to this extent for him. Compared with Shen Guiling's understanding and excellence, Shen Nian was like a retribution picked up from the garbage dump.

The scales in Shen Qian's heart gradually tilted. "A Ling, this matter is considered as Daddy owes you a favor. Daddy will remember it. Don't worry, your aunt will never dare to make things difficult for you again."

In the past, in order to be decent in front of others, Shen Qian would force Shen Guiling to call Yao Ge "mother", but today's call of "Auntie" was enough to show that Shen Qian's attitude had completely changed.

Shen Guiling's eyes became increasingly gentle. "Dad, there's one more thing you must be careful of. Grandpa already suspects Auntie of colluding with the Bai family. Fortunately, he hasn't suspected you yet, but if you don't try to intervene, I'm afraid this matter will eventually implicate you. You know, Grandpa never shows mercy to those who betray the family."

Shen Qian is a despicable villain. He wants to plant a thorn in this villain's heart and make the couple hurt themselves.

Death is the simplest revenge, he wants to make their life worse than death.

Shen Qian's eyes considered and he slowly stood up. "I understand. Ah Ling, you should have a good rest first. Dad will come to see you next time."

Shen Guiling nodded, and just as the man turned around, she suddenly called him, "Dad."

Shen Qian paused and turned around.

Shen Guiling raised her head, her pale face full of haggardness and anxiety. "This is Nanwan. Can I... go see my mother?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Shen Qian's eyes.

In order to prevent the scandal from fermenting, Shen Guiling did not come back to pay homage once for three years from the day he stepped into Shen Garden.

Seeing Shen Qian still hesitating, Shen Guiling said softly, "I dreamed of her last night."

The child who had endured life and death was so helpless at this moment. Shen Qian couldn't be heartless and finally compromised, "Okay, I'll arrange it."

Shen Guiling smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Shen Qian nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something and looked back. "A Ling, which one do you prefer, the Su family girl or President Yu's daughter? Tell Dad the truth, and we'll go visit her when we return to Jinggang Harbor this time."

Something happened in Jinwan and the Bai family was unreliable. He had to win over a reliable ally again. The Su family and the Yu family were both good choices.

Shen Guiling was a little dazed.

Shen Qian, "You said at the beginning that the attitudes of the Su and Yu families were still unclear and that we could wait and see. What about now? Both Mr. Su and President Yu praised you highly. Do you have an idea who to choose? Dad knows that you are sensible and filial. Since both families are the same, just pick the one you like."

Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Dad, I want to think about it carefully again."

Think about it seriously?

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt to think about the important things in life later." Shen Qian agreed and left the room.

Lei Xing had bought the flowers long ago and had been waiting at the door. As soon as Shen Qian left, he walked in with a big bouquet of red roses.

"Master, it's so prosperous, do you like it?"

Shen Guiling took a quick look and showed little interest.

Lei Xing put the flowers away and saw Shen Guiling still holding an apple and a knife. He asked casually, "Master, do you want me to take them to Miss Jiang for you?"

"Need not."

Shen Guiling looked at the blade in his hand with gentle eyes. He had just held the knife and chatted with Shen Qian for ten minutes, but the man was not on guard at all. It seemed that Shen Qian's defenses had been almost reduced by him.

"Master." Lei Xing bent down and took the knife from him very considerately. "It's dangerous. Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Shen Guiling and Su San's eyes were blank for a moment.

"Don't play with such dangerous things on the bed. What if you hurt someone?"

"..."

He lowered his eyes and took a bite of the apple in his hand.

Hiss, so sour and a little sweet.
