The old residence of the Shen family.
A gray-haired old man was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, looking out. The old housekeeper stood beside him worriedly, but he finally spoke.
"Old man, it will take a while for Miss Jiang and the others to arrive. You have been standing here for more than half an hour. Why don't you go to the living room and take a rest first?"
"I'm fine, I'm not tired." The old man waved his hands without looking back, and continued to stretch his neck and wait.
"You have just been discharged from the hospital less than a week ago..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Shen glared at him angrily, "Why do you get more verbose as you get older?"
"..."
The old housekeeper simply changed his explanation, "If Miss Jiang comes later, she will definitely be angry if she sees the old man not caring about his body so much."
"You're right!" Mr. Shen nodded quickly and then walked towards the living room with his hands behind his back.
"..."
The old housekeeper couldn't help but shake his head and laugh - yes!
He could not even mention "Ms. Jiang" even though he was wearing his tongue.
In fact, ever since the old man was rescued by Miss Jiang, he has been very special to her. He was full of praise for her, and even made an engagement for the lordship, uncharacteristically...
However, the last time Miss Jiang came to visit the old man, she mentioned the dissolution of the engagement. The old man was worried about this for several days. He called the lord every now and then and asked him to quickly recover his wife.
However, Sir Alex's attitude has always been lukewarm. On weekdays, he doesn't even show his face. He doesn't even bother to take a look at Miss Jiang's photo. It's obvious that he doesn't agree with the marriage contract, so he directly treats the old man. So angry.
Therefore, as soon as I received a call from Mrs. Jiang today, saying that she would bring her daughter to visit the old man, the old man immediately informed the Lord.
I just don’t know what the young lady from the Jiang family is doing here this time.
Is it possible to break off the engagement anyway?
…
After a while, there was movement in the yard.
"Is Girl Jiang here?"
Mr. Shen, who was still sitting on the sofa drinking tea, immediately stood up and walked towards the door cheerfully.
When the old housekeeper saw this, he quickly followed him, carefully guarding him, "Old man, please slow down..."
"You go aside!"
"..."
At this time, Xiao Huiyun took Jiang Yingying towards the living room.
Looking at the precious flowers and plants planted along the way and the servants standing in two rows with smiling faces, Xiao Huiyun only felt scared.
The Shen family is a top wealthy family.
It's different from those like the Jiang family who got rich halfway.
Although Mr. Shen has retired now, he was still a powerful figure back then!
I don’t know if it’s easy to get along with...
Just when Xiao Huiyun was feeling uneasy, she looked up and saw an old man with gray hair coming out of the room with a smile, and the closeness and joy that could not be concealed on his face.
Xiao Huiyun couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately greeted Jiang Yingying with a smile on her face.
"Mr. Shen, it's been a long time." When Xiao Huiyun saw that Mr. Shen had come to greet him in person, Xiao Huiyun was so excited that her mouth almost reached her ears.
I didn’t expect her and Yingying to be so popular!
It seems that they came to the right place this time!
If the guarantee is not complete, we can really replace Jiang You's dead girl with her Yingying!
Mr. Shen also had a smile on his face, but his eyes kept glancing behind Xiao Huiyun and Jiang Yingying.
Huh? Where's Girl Jiang? Is it at the back?
With this thought in mind, Mr. Shen made a gesture and walked out, wanting to greet him.
"Old man, where are you going?" Xiao Huiyun asked with confusion on his face.
"Where's Girl Jiang?" Mr. Shen stretched his neck and looked out, but he didn't see Jiang You. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Huiyun and said, "Didn't you say that Girl Jiang is coming to see me?"
I finally expected Jiang You to come last time, but I never imagined that she was here to break off the engagement...
But Mr. Shen was wronged to death.
This time, he also called that brat Shen Fengjue over. This time he must let the two of them meet!
Although his eldest grandson has a bad temper, he is very handsome. It is said that many little girls in Kyoto are clamoring to marry him!
Although Jiang Yatou is definitely not that kind of superficial girl, what if she also likes this kind of pretty girl?
The engagement will definitely not be broken off then!
When Mr. Shen mentioned Jiang You's name, Xiao Huiyun couldn't help but laugh. Just when she was about to say something, she heard respectful voices coming from outside the yard, "Sir..."
Sir?
Is Shen Fengjue back?
Xiao Huiyun couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled Jiang Yingying's sleeves with excitement on her face, and both of them looked in the direction of the door.
I saw a tall man walking in. He was wearing a well-tailored suit and had a good figure. He had broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. His whole person exuded a sense of nobility and asceticism.
And that maddeningly handsome face not only did not destroy the cold and terrifying aura, but instead added a pressure that looked down upon the world.
No wonder outsiders would respectfully call "Sir" when they see him.
"You came quite quickly today..." Mr. Shen curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction.
Shen Fengjue's expression was indifferent, but he didn't reply. He went straight to the single sofa nearby and sat down.
Mr. Shen stopped paying attention to him, and immediately looked at Xiao Huiyun beside him with a smile, and said eagerly, "Didn't you say you want to bring Girl Jiang with you? Where is she?"
Xiao Huiyun almost couldn't hold on to the smile on her face. She immediately pulled Jiang Yingying in front of her and forced out a smile, "Old man, this is Yingying. She is the daughter of our Jiang family. I said that on the phone. I also came to see you with her..."
Mr. Shen was confused for a moment - what is this?
When Xiao Huiyun saw that Mr. Shen had set his sights on Jiang Yingying, she thought that the marriage exchange was a big deal, so she quickly said, "Actually, we only found out a few days ago that Jiang You is not our biological daughter, and Yingying is the daughter of our Jiang family... …”
Mr. Shen didn't care about this, he immediately frowned and interrupted, "What about Girl Jiang?"
"Jiang You has returned to the countryside. She was just picked up by her bachelor brother this morning. It is said that there are four brothers in the family, all of whom are bachelors..."
Xiao Huiyun was still talking to herself. In her opinion, Jiang You's status as a country bumpkin was not worthy of the extremely wealthy Shen family, but her family's Yingying was more suitable for the Duke!
"It's just that that girl is self-aware. I heard that she mentioned the break-off of the engagement to the old man in advance. Otherwise, look at my family's Yingying..."
But before Xiao Huiyun could finish speaking, Mr. Shen's face had already darkened. For a moment, a terrifying aura spread out. Xiao Huiyun was stunned and frightened, unable to utter a single word.
"Broken off the engagement?"
But at this moment, Shen Fengjue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Mr. Shen with slightly raised lips, a pair of black eyes filled with a terrifying coldness, "You, old man, keep it a secret."
"..."
