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

Chapter 554 Goodbye

Shen Che bowed his head and confessed his guilt, catching everyone off guard.

Especially the second bedroom.

In the morning, Shen Qian was still worried about being implicated in the South Bay drag racing case. In the afternoon, the situation reversed. Shen Che blew himself up, and the second branch finally saw the long-awaited dawn.

Shen Zhuang has already ordered that Shen Che be taken back to Xiangying the next day for punishment. The last person to return to Xiangying to pay homage to ancestors was Shen Nian. It is obvious that Shen Zhuang will never let Shen Che off easily this time.

Shen Che is the eldest son of the third branch. Once he is kicked out of the Shen family, Shen Yiji and Shen Yize will be implicated. The remaining Shen Jiao and Shen Rang are even less of a concern. Their political careers were ruined when they were young, and they only have one daughter. Women cannot inherit the family business, so the third branch is completely finished.

Shen Yuan was also extremely happy. He went straight to the Plum Garden carrying two bottles of expensive champagne. Of course, he had to share this good news with the people closest to him.

But what he never expected was that his enthusiasm was in vain. Shen Qingyu was not in the Plum Garden, and he asked the aunt in charge but she didn't know where he was either.

Shen Yuan didn't give up and started calling again, but found that Shen Qingyu had blocked him. The old father's heart sank to the bottom.

"You heartless, rebellious son, you're deliberately trying to piss me off every day. I'd rather feed this wine to a dog than give it to this heartless bastard!"

Shen Yuan cursed all the way. When he was about to leave Shen Garden, he happened to meet Shen Zhuang who was about to go out at the corner. Shen Zhuang stared at the two bottles of wine in his hands with an extremely gloomy face.

"What? I haven't even gone to Xiangying yet, and you can't wait to open the champagne to celebrate?"

Shen Yuan was almost scared out of his wits and quickly hid the wine behind him. "Dad, you misunderstood. It was Qingyu. I saw that he had been feeling depressed for the past two days, so I sent him two bottles of champagne to cheer him up."

Shen Zhuang had a blank expression on his face. "Your son is unhappy and you don't ask why but still give him wine?"

The corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched. "I... I just felt that this didn't seem right, so I decided to take it back and drink it myself."

Shen Zhuang closed his eyes and pinched the root of his nose. "Go away, go away. Don't see Qingyu anymore from now on, or you will ruin such a good seedling."

Shen Yuan pretended not to understand and laughed awkwardly. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at Shen Zhuang. "Dad, I don't have anything to do tomorrow. How about I go to Xiangying with you?"

Shen Zhuang raised his eyes and said, "Get lost."

"boom--"

A clear vibrato burst out from the collision of the glass. The moment the rims of the glass touched, the bubbling wine swayed back and forth along the wall of the glass.

Shen Yuan finally got to drink the expensive champagne as he wished, and together with Shen Qian, the two of them drank happily in the club run by Shen Yuan.

"Hahaha, this is truly satisfying! I didn't expect that after fighting with the Third House for so long, they would end up fighting each other."

Shen Yuan put one foot on the coffee table, feeling indescribably carefree and happy. "What do you think the old man will do with Shen Che tomorrow?"

Shen Qian relaxed for a rare moment, shaking the goblet in his hand. "Even if he's not expelled from Country A, he can't stay in the Shen family anymore. Do you really think the old man is so angry because Shen Zhi wants to murder Jiang Huashan? That's just a trick. Everyone in Jinggang knows that Zheng Song and Shen Zhi are the old man's closest right-hand men. Shen Che dared to form an alliance with Shen Zhi before the old man died. Isn't this like hanging a knife over the old man's head? No one would tolerate this, let alone the former lion."

Shen Yuan nodded. "That's right. Shen Che, that brainless guy, has loved to fight since he was young. But he's also incompetent. In the end, he won nothing. I think he must have done something so irrational this time because he was desperate. In fact, it was all thanks to Shen Jiao. If it weren't for her, Shen Che wouldn't have recognized him so readily."

Shen Qian frowned, "He got it for free."

If he were to find out about this first and make a careful plan, Shen Che might not even have the chance to admit his mistake in front of the old man.

Shen Yuan pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in Shen Qian's words and asked curiously, "By the way? Where's Ah Ling? Have you told him about this?"

Shen Qian's expression was slightly restrained. "He has been busy with the enlistment of the Nanwan naval vessel recently. I don't want him to be distracted for the time being."

"That's right." Shen Yuan nodded in agreement, a little envious. "The third house isn't a concern. Our real worry is the first house. The old man is partial. Fortunately, Ah Ling is promising. Otherwise, who on our side could compete with Lan Xi?"

Speaking of Shen Guiling, Shen Qian's expression visibly improved. It was not difficult to see from this subtle change that he was extremely satisfied with his son.

At the same time, Xiangshan Garden.

The raging fire set the entire mountain on fire. Thick black smoke continued to gather, and the unburned dust turned into suffocating gunpowder smoke, even covering the sky at the top of the mountain.

Shen Guiling stood at the foot of the mountain. The fire on the top of the mountain was like a giant beast of fate, declaring war on him through the numerous tombstones.

The fire was so big that it was smoked and people couldn't open their eyes. Mo Ran stood behind him holding a large black umbrella.

"Master, the fire is coming from the east, less than ten meters away from Madam's tomb. Judging from the current intensity of the fire, I'm afraid..."

Shen Guiling raised his eyes, and all he saw was darkness. He looked into the fierce fire with an indifferent expression. Just when Mo Ran thought he would not speak, Shen Guiling's voice suddenly came to his ears.

He said, "My mother is unmarried, so you don't need to call her Madam. Call her Miss Shu."

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Yes."

Before she could react, Shen Guiling took the umbrella from her hand and walked up the mountain.

Mo Ran was afraid that he would do something stupid if provoked, so he quickly went up to stop him, "Master, the fire on the top of the mountain is not under control yet. You can't get any closer. It's too dangerous."

"It's okay." Shen Guiling pushed Mo Ran away lightly and walked up the stairs.

Since I can't keep him, I can only say goodbye properly. I need to get closer so that Su Mu can hear what he says.

When he reached halfway up the mountain, the hot air from the thick smoke hit him in the face. Shen Guiling knew that this was the closest distance he could reach. He stopped without hesitation and bent down towards the top of the eastern mountain.

Mom, please forgive me. This time I can’t rush into the fire to see you because I want to live well.

He turned around and saw a white camellia placed on the green steps.
