Chapter 163: Disdain (1st Update)
Red Leaf Casino, Shen You honestly knelt in front of Shen Jiu, bowing his head and being trained.
The bangs covered his eyes, and from above the line of sight, the expression and true emotions were tightly obscured.
Even so, Shen You still didn't dare to relax.
His expression was respectful, he knelt straight, and his heart was tightened.
Shen Jiu's rare choice to see him in the study instead of by the rooftop pool made Shen You a little uneasy.
For superiors, choosing to meet their subordinates in the study is often a sign of importance to their subordinates, and it is also a kind of grace. But that was for other subordinates, for them, Shen Jiu had never been too lazy to show kindness.
He had been on his knees motionless on the hard marble floor of his study for nearly two hours.
The pain seeps from the kneecap into the bone marrow. He is different from Shen Wei and Shen Yong, he has never practiced martial arts, his body is very weak, and he is tired because of days of running and tired. Two hours, almost close to his limit.
However, as long as the father-in-law did not speak, he had to kneel all the time, even if he knelt his legs.
In Shen Jiu's education of righteous sons and daughters, it is useless to beg for mercy and show weakness.
No matter how you look at it, this can't be the appearance of grace.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been by Shen Jiu's side for a long time and knew very well about the habits of his father-in-law, Shen You would almost have thought that the transaction between himself and Nie Tian had been discovered.
But since he is still kneeling here, it means that at least in terms of loyalty, has not been questioned.
After all, Shen Jiu never liked to interrogate traitors, and the people he identified as betrayers didn't even have the qualifications to see him again, and would directly hand them over to the people below.
If the matter between himself and Nie Tian is exposed, the place where he stays will not be a study, but a dungeon.
I don't know how long it took, but when Shen You began to be confused and doubted his judgment, Shen Jiu's old voice finally sounded from above his head.
"You're doing a good job this time. ”
This is a word of appreciation, but it is more chilling than a reprimand.
Shen You opened his dry mouth and admitted his mistake without thinking about it: "Father-in-law, I was careless, and I was found to have a listening device hidden at the beginning, which caused Nie Shao to be wary. ”
The monitor was brought by Shen Jiu, he was suspicious by nature, and he had to grasp the movements of his son clearly.
However, although the listener was the order of the Ninth Master, the fault must be Shen You's own.
There are no parents in the world, and there are no bosses.
"I asked the driver to drive to the restaurant under the Lin family's name, also to make Nie Shao feel that he could lower his guard a little on his own turf. Shen You lowered his head and didn't look at his father-in-law's reaction, and said to himself: "It's a pity that my ability is insufficient, and I wanted to invite him to your hall to play after dinner, but he didn't agree." ”
"Fortunately, father-in-law, you expected it, so I asked Miss Yun Ruyu to run away. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Shen Jiu finally spoke up: "How did I hear Ruyu say that Nie Tian has no interest in her at all, and even pointed out her identity as a 'pure spirit body', but she doesn't have the slightest desire for exclusivity." ”
"That's what you say?"
Shen You did not hesitate: "Nie Shao did not show great interest in Miss Yun, but he also maintained politeness. Other than that, it's enough to see that it's not disgusting. Lin San was fascinated by Miss Yun, and even spoke ill of Nie Tian, but Nie Tian was not angry. ”
"Father-in-law, maybe for a person like Nie Tian, tolerance is the greatest interest. ”
This is a set of rhetoric tailored by Shen You for Nie Tian, which just matches Shen Jiu's impression of him, and can also justify himself.
Maybe Nie Tian himself didn't care, but Shen You's intuition made him make this decision.
To guide Shen Jiu to believe that Nie Tian also has a good impression of Yun Ruyu, he will lower his vigilance against the other party and facilitate him to do things in the future.
And Yun Ruyu herself is not worried, she is a woman who has been brainwashed by her father-in-law, no matter how attractive she is, no brains are brainless.
He is an ordinary person, and he will become resistant after more contact, as long as he is properly guided, Yun Ruyu himself will believe that Nie Tian is actually interested in her.
"Really?" Shen Jiu pondered for a while, and finally expressed his affirmation: "I'll let someone check it." These days, keep an eye on that kid, no matter whether you can win him over or not, you can't let him get out of control. ”
"Yes. ”
Shen You responded respectfully, but he was disdainful in his heart.
The righteous father is old, and his originally sharp eyes have become cloudy, and he actually mistook Jiaolong for a harmless grass snake, and he also delusionally raised Nie Tian in captivity like clouds like rain.
Such judgment is no longer suitable for leading the gray area of Lincheng.
Swallowing the idea of rebellion, Shen You gently retreated, and as soon as he came out of the study door, he saw Shen Wei's worried gaze, his heart softened, and he was filled with a sincere smile: "Bai is worried, just say that the old man will not treat me well, you don't believe the words of the nineteenth brother......"
The two gradually walked away, and at the elevator entrance, Shen Yong stared at the back of the only remaining brother and sister, and his heart was filled with unease.
——
Shen You did follow his instructions and dutifully kept an eye on Nie Tianlai.
It's a pity that Nie Tian made up his mind to retreat, not to mention the people outside, even Lin San, who could only look at the figure of his uncle meditating by the lake and sighed, not daring to disturb at all.
At night, in the main house villa.
Aunt Chen instructed her subordinates to bring the soup and water to the table, and went to the lake to take a look, and when she came back, she was so worried: "Miss, today is the tenth day, and my uncle is sitting cross-legged by the lake, not eating or drinking." I don't care if I go to deliver food, how do I get the food box and how do I come back, is it really okay?"
Ever since Nie Tian single-handedly laid down the Great Array to protect the Zhuang and experienced Lin Chuxue's attack, Aunt Chen's attitude towards Nie Tian has changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
From how to look at how unpleasant it is, to a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
Lin Chuxue was also a little worried, it was okay out of trust in Nie Tian a few days ago, but as Aunt Chen said, today is the tenth day......
"Otherwise, I'll check it out later. Lin Chuxue said.
At this time, Zhao Song, who had been eating silently, suddenly spoke up: "Don't worry, Master, with Master's cultivation, you can already open the valley, and it's okay not to eat." ”
"The retreat of a warrior can be as short as a few days or as long as a few months, but this is only the tenth day, which is still very short. Besides, the master finally settled down, and if he forcibly woke up, it would be easy for him to go mad and explode and die. ”
"What, it's so dangerous?!" Aunt Chen was successfully frightened: "Then Miss, don't go, so as not to surprise your uncle." I'll let someone hold up a umbrella later, so that my uncle won't be exposed to the wind and sun. ”
Lin Chuxue didn't nod yet, Zhao Song said with a serious face: "Aunt Chen, you are doing a disservice, the master is cultivating the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and he originally wanted to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon." ”
Aunt Chen: "......"
