Chapter 2: The Betrothal Banquet
"Brother Shen is right. In the future, the Shen Group will have to look at you!" Liu Tianhao hurriedly said.
"What was Mr. Liu talking about just now?" At this time, Shen Ci interrupted angrily.
As soon as Liu Tianhao raised his head and saw Shen Ci standing in front of him, he shrank his neck in fright: "Miss Shen, I, no, I didn't say anything!"
He was already half a head shorter than the tall Shen Ci, and this body was even more funny when he hooked it.
"Shen Ci, Liu is always my friend, what do we say, it's none of your business, right?" Shen Chongwu interrupted his cousin coldly, his gaze swept over Shen Ci, and stopped at Lin Shen's body, and his heart was suddenly taken aback. "Why is he here?"
Liu Tianhao also discovered Lin Shen at this time, and his face became ugly.
The waste son-in-law in their mouths, the puppet son-in-law, is now standing in front of them intact?
A few days ago, didn't they obviously see with their own eyes that the unlucky fiancé was beaten to death and thrown into the moat, why is he standing in front of them intact now?
This made them feel a little uneasy in their hearts. The two men exchanged glances, guessing what was going on.
Their original intention was to ruin the engagement feast. Let Shen Ci's hope of recruiting money be disappointed. Unexpectedly, now their fiancé is standing in front of them, which shocks them at the same time, and their hearts are full of disbelief.
How could this waste son-in-law not die? He didn't have a piece of good meat on his body, and he was thrown into the river. No one knows about this except them, even if they are rescued by someone who does not die, how can they recover like a normal person in two days?
Could it be that this guy can't be a stand-in?
The treacherous and cunning Shen Chongwu stared at Lin Shen's face, as if he wanted to find some clues.
"What's the matter, Mr. Shen, Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know each other?"
Lin Shen looked at the strange expressions of the two, guessed eight points in his heart, and laughed lightly.
"Of course I do. Liu Tianhao was the first to react, and hurriedly haha, "The Shen family's Chenglong fast son-in-law, how can the younger brother not know him, and I hope to help him more in the future!"
The old man of the Shen family has three children under his knees, and these three children have a total of seven grandchildren. Shen Ci is the only girl, so she is naturally favored by the old man.
As he spoke, Liu Tianhao stretched out his hands. Lin Shen shook it back, feeling that Liu Tianhao's hand was secretly straining, as if he wanted to test himself.
He naturally refused to suffer this secret loss in vain, and the strength in his hands increased, Liu Tianhao's face gradually turned red, and he grinned his teeth.
"Mr. Liu, what's the matter with you?" Seeing the change in the expression on Liu Tianhao's face, Shen Chongwu was very puzzled.
"Mr. Liu may not be very comfortable. Why don't you go to the hospital and have a look?" Lin Shen pulled out his hand and smiled faintly. Such a person made him more troubled at the engagement banquet.
"No, no, I'm fine. Liu Tianhao gritted his teeth and said.
"The banquet is about to begin, so you two should sit down first. Shen Ci said on the side.
Shen Chongwu glared at Lin Shen and walked away with Liu Tianhao.
"Thank you for what you just did. After the two left, Shen Ci was grateful to Lin Shen.
She could see that Lin Shen didn't give Liu Tianhao a good fruit to eat just now.
For a long time, Liu Tianhao had a good relationship with Shen Chongwu and didn't take himself seriously. Today is also a small outlet for evil.
Moreover, Shen Ci's impression of the forest in front of him continued to rise.
Her official fiancé, although he is polite, always lacks a bit of masculinity and is powerless. At that time, he had to find him, but he didn't expect his fiancé to suffer bad luck on the eve of the engagement banquet, which was really unbearable.
She knew that all this was done by the brothers of the Shen family, and because there was no evidence, she couldn't avenge her real fiancé.
"You don't have to thank me, I'm also doing things according to the contract. ”
Lin Shen responded lightly.
The spark in Shen Ci's eyes was instantly extinguished. "You ......"
She was angry. The rich kid who grew so big and wanted to kneel under her pomegranate skirt, if not a thousand, but also five hundred, she didn't even look at it, why did this guy be?
If it weren't for the fact that because of this contract now, she really wanted to have a good theory with Lin Shen.
However, now that the guests are arriving one after another, she has to let go of the anger in her heart and stand at the door with Lin Shen to wait for the guests.
Several other brothers of the Shen family also arrived one after another. When they saw Lin Shen's expressions, they were all the same, full of doubts, puzzlement, and a hint of deep hostility.
However, Lin Shen didn't pay attention to this hostile look at all in his eyes. This kind of ignorance has brought a huge sense of disparity to the Shen brothers.
Before, the fiancé was polite in front of them. I haven't seen him for a few days, and he dares to look at people with such eyes? Do you really think that you have become a member of the Shen family? Just a puppet.
Soon, dozens of tables in the hall were already full.
On stage, the hostess of the TV station also attended in full costume, facing the microphone, ready to give a speech.
At this moment, another voice sounded: "Old Man Shen has arrived!"
Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see a rickety old man at the gate, supported by two servants, trembling and walking in.
"Grandpa, are you here, come and sit with me!" the Shen brothers hurriedly greeted him.
Although Old Man Shen has been sick for many years, he has not asked about the company's affairs. But he is still the authority and backbone of the Shen family, because all the share distribution rights are still in the hands of the old man.
Whoever dares to be disrespectful to the old man, that is because he doesn't want to mix in the Shen family.
"Grandpa, why aren't you in a wheelchair, how can this work?" Only Shen Ci really cared about the old man, and his face was full of worry.
"Today is my granddaughter's engagement feast, and of course I have to come over in person. Old Man Shen smiled kindly, saw Lin Shen, and nodded: "Girl, this is your fiancé, right?"
Shen Ci blushed and nodded.
In any case, at such an engagement banquet, it is somewhat shy for a woman's lifelong event to be announced.
"This guy is good. I have a strong body, and I can protect my granddaughter well in the future. The old man suddenly said inexplicably.
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? You said that he has a strong body, and our sixth brother is the first to disagree!"
The brothers of the Shen family couldn't hold it back, shouldn't he be old and dizzy?
Just that sick fiancé, still strong and protective of women, it would be nice if he could keep himself.
The sixth brother, Shen Qiang, stood up and faced Lin Shen, pinching the muscles of his body with a clatter.
Lin Shen pursed his lips and smiled, this was just a reckless man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.
What they didn't know was that Lin Shen in front of them was not the weak scholar before.
"Okay, don't talk about it, get out of the way and let grandpa sit down!"
Shen Ci said that he was going to help the old man.
The old man suddenly coughed and spat out a large mouthful of black blood. The splattered blood on the ground, emitting a fishy smell.
"Grandpa, how are you?" The faces of the Shen family brothers changed suddenly, with concern written on their faces, but they subconsciously hid to the side under their feet, for fear that the mouthful of black blood would stain them.
Lin Shen was on the side, looking at the mouthful of blood that Old Man Shen spit out, his brows furrowed tightly, and he fell into deep thought.
"Lin Shen, my grandfather is an old problem, you don't have to worry. Shen Ci was not good for a few brothers, and when he saw Lin Shen standing there, his brows were furrowed, knowing that it was the first time he had seen the old man and didn't know the situation, so he quickly explained.
"That's not right!" Lin Shen shook his head and blurted out.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ci was stunned.
"Old man Shen, it's not a disease. Rather, it is a symptom of poisoning. Lin Shen gave his own conclusion.
What? Poisoning?
The people present were in an uproar.
Shen Ci stared at Lin Shen's face, as if he wanted to see if he was joking. On this occasion today, you can't talk nonsense, especially when it comes to the old man. If you make a mistake, the other brothers will grab the handle and make a big fuss.
Just as he was about to dissuade him, Shen Chongwu, the eldest son of the Shen family, shouted: "Lin Shen, don't talk nonsense here, what kind of poisoning? What do you mean? The old man has been sick for so many years, don't we know what his situation is?"
Indeed, over the years of Old Man Shen's illness, he has visited famous doctors at home and abroad, but he can't find out what the symptoms are, so he can only use the best imported medicine to control the symptoms.
Moreover, the old man's diet has strict screening and testing, and if he suddenly says that he is poisoned, who will believe it?
Even Shen Ci stared at Lin Shen, his eyes full of doubts.
