72. God's joke

City of T

It is the lively time on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and if the big Shen family seems deserted, even if the home and outside are plastered with blessing characters, it can't reduce the depression that fills the whole air.

Shen Ran sat alone on the sofa in the hall, with his elbows on his thighs, hanging his head and quietly looking at the carpet embroidered with gorgeous patterns under his feet, and he had been silent for a long time.

There was a heavy kicking of the door from upstairs, followed by Shen Zhensheng's roar, so loud that Shen Ran, who was sitting downstairs, could hear it clearly without bothering to listen.

"He's just an obstacle, the most wrong thing I've done in my life is to take him back to the Shen family, look at what kind of life we have lived since he returned to the Shen family? Do you still want him to go back to the old house with me to worship his ancestors? Dreaming, the ancestor can't stand his worship. ”

"Xiao Ran is not an obstacle, he is our son, the son we have worked so hard to find back, how can Xiao Ran's head be blamed for the Shen family's business not going well? Shen Zhensheng, you are too much, woo woo ...... "Tears fell one by one, Liu Minzhi's crying pear blossoms brought rain and pitiful, she could cry for three or five minutes when she was a little unhappy in the past, but when she encountered a real sad thing, the tears were like smashing water, endlessly flowing."

"Crying, you know crying, where is the slightest bit of being a housewife? No wonder you can give birth to a sinful obstacle, you two are both asking me for debts, aren't you? What did I do in my last life, and I want to use the entire Shen family to pay it back? Shen Zhensheng actually wanted to cry more than Liu Minzhi, seeing that the power of the Shen family was getting worse day by day, but as the head of the family, he couldn't do anything, and the feeling of grievance was indescribable.

And Liu Minzhi enjoyed the wealth and glory he gave, but when he was most sad and lost, he didn't think about how to comfort him and relieve him, but instead added fuel to the fire and added trouble to him with Shen Ran, they didn't want to think about it, is Li Jingxuan such a soft-hearted person? Shen Nian has pestered Li Jingxuan for several years, and he almost took his life, isn't it still a waste? Shen Ran is not as good as Shen Nian in terms of appearance, but he is a big difference in terms of friendship, and a male doll can't give birth to a grandson to the Li family, why should people accept him? When the pet casually plays? No matter how poor the Shen family is, they will not do anything like selling their son.

"Okay, you dislike me, you regret marrying me, don't you? Don't forget who chased who was the first to chase whom. Her eyes were red from crying, Liu Minzhi pointed to the man with the tie crooked, and forced the panic in her heart to speak, she had been married for almost twenty years, and Shen Zhensheng had never said anything serious to her, but today, Shen Zhensheng not only yelled at her, but also faintly revealed boredom, a chill slowly rose from the bottom of her heart, and the cold Liu Minzhi secretly shivered.

"At the beginning? Scold. Shen Zhensheng sneered, "Don't you mention that I really didn't want to step on your face at the beginning, Liu Minzhi, you always blame me for throwing you and the child in the field and running home alone, you rely on my guilt to toss me even harder, I am all up to you, who makes me like you?" Lao Tzu has money and time to toss with you, and I should have fun with you, but don't treat me as a fool. Taking a step forward, clasping Liu Minzhi's shoulders with both hands, Shen Zhensheng's expression suddenly became fierce.

"I know in my heart how the child is pregnant, I said that we are still young, first lay a little foundation for the family to see, and then get their blessing and then have a family, but you carried me behind my back and pierced the sleeve several holes, until I was pregnant to tell me, I am going to be a father, and lied that I was drunk and did not clean up the pregnancy accidentally, Liu Minzhi, Liu Minzhi, have you thought about my feelings? You obviously know that the reason why I was able to bring down my eldest brother was precisely because he was an illegitimate child, but you let my child bear the name of an illegitimate child, just so that you can control me more firmly, are you sorry? ”

A sentence is like a sharp sword, Liu Minzhi's face was pale, watching his wife tremble and retreat, Shen Zhensheng tasted the taste of pleasure for no reason.

pressed Liu Minzhi against the wall, Shen Zhensheng smiled maliciously, "You have to give birth to a child, okay, I won't stop you, but if you want me to raise it, it depends on whether I am willing or not." ”

"So you left home overnight, cruelly leaving me who just gave birth to a child for you?" Her lips trembled violently, her tears seemed to have dried up, and not a single drop could fall, Liu Minzhi raised her head, and for the first time felt that her handsome husband's face was disgusting.

Yes, she did use some means to tie him up back then, she is a woman, and giving her body to a man is naturally ready to live with that man for the rest of her life, but Shen Zhensheng asked for her body but refused to marry her, no matter how nice the sweet words are, it is not as good as Mrs. Shen's identity, is it wrong for her to have no choice but to plan to marry her son?

In those days, a young lady from a family married someone with a stomach, even if she married a child, her father would not be glorious, right? She risked her face and reputation just to be his other half, and what about him? Eat dry and wipe clean and raise your legs to leave, and even have the face to talk about what kind of revenge, is he still a man?!

"Don't say that I'm so inferior, it's you who are sorry for me first, and besides, didn't you also abandon the child? Seeing that the tools being used are not good, you can throw them if you say you can throw them, your heart is much more ruthless than mine. He was fed up with Liu Minzhi's tears, fed up with her ridiculous behavior of pouring sewage on him from time to time but picking herself cleanly, and fed up with the constant troubles brought out by her and her son.

He should have had a showdown with Liu Minzhi a long time ago, he should have done it when Liu Minzhi wanted to adopt Shen Nian, that kid was Shen Ran's sustenance, he was spoiled by Liu Minzhi's lawlessness, chasing the ugly thing of Li Jingxuan's buttocks, he wanted to break Shen Nian's legs every time he heard it, if it weren't for Shen Nian's rescue of Xiao Xun, how could he endure to drive people out of the Shen family until last year?

Who knew that a small disaster was driven away, but a big disaster was ushered back, Shen Nian was just an adopted son, no matter how much sewage was poured on the Shen family's head, at most he said that his life was cheap, and he didn't look like a prince in an imperial robe.

But Shen Ran is really his species, and if he makes a mistake, outsiders must say that there is a problem with the Shen family's family style, otherwise why do they want to tilt their butts at Li Jingxuan?

He Shen Zhensheng raised a son, but he didn't let men fuck him, that kind of nasty embryo didn't deserve to have his blood, he should have drowned in the ditch when he was born, and he would never see the sun tomorrow!

Thinking of the hatred, Shen Zhensheng's hand on Liu Minzhi's shoulder shrank violently, and his expression became extremely hideous.

In the past, he was the head of a first-class family, who saw him not give three points? Except for the Qin family and the Li family, no one in the Shen family dared to slant their eyes when they walked sideways.

But since Shen Ran provoked Li Jingxuan and was driven out of Rongteng by Li Jingxuan, the status of the Shen family began to decline slowly, and later the Li family and the Qin family started a business war but caused the Shen family to lose a lot of money for no reason, he guessed that it must be inseparable from Shen Ran's shameless behavior, and he suppressed his anger, he was busy like a dog and couldn't let the Shen family return to the first-class, and even the second-rate was about to be unable to stand, and finally there was a turnaround, and before he could make a move, what was the result?

Shen Ran offended the giant Xiao family again!

He said that Shen Ran was a wicked obstacle, a devil who crawled out of the abyss.

Now that the Shen family is in turmoil, there is a possibility of capsizing at any time, how many people are sharpening knives in secret, Huo Huo He didn't dare to think about it, those small fish and shrimp who were once looked down on him now dare to make a big statement in front of him, what does it mean? It means that the Shen family building will collapse and will never be able to return to the sky.

Letting go of his hand, Shen Zhensheng turned around silently, put his hands on the fence and looked down, facing Shen Ran's eyes, his expression paused, and then became more distorted.

"How do you feel after listening to me and your mother? Shen Ran, no, I should call you Su Ran, you were born without a rich life, and changing your surname can't change your poor life, but you were born with a cheap life, why do you still drag our Shen family into the water? I gave you blood and bones, but what you gave me in return was hell! Roaring until his voice was hoarse, Shen Zhensheng stared at Shen Ran as if he was quenching poisonous juice, "The Shen family is over, everyone knows that the Shen family has come to an end, just because of you, the Shen family, who obviously still has the strength to fight, but it is difficult to get ahead, are you happy?" This is the consequence of you offending the Xiao family and stupidly running to Li Jingxuan's ass, why don't you die? ”

"You say...... Is the Shen family finished? There was a rumbling in his ears, and it took a while for Liu Minzhi to come back to his senses, grabbed Shen Zhensheng's arm and hurriedly asked, "How is it possible?" The Shen family's big family business, it's over after speaking? ”

"Yes, the Shen family is finished, there is no help, you and your good son have dug the last way of life of the Shen family very cleanly, probably in a few days, we will have nothing left except for the house under our feet and the tablets in the old mansion." After roaring, angry, Shen Zhensheng just wants to laugh now, laughing at his busy half life and finally ending up empty, laughing at his eyes, marrying a wife who has lost his door and picking up a son of a moldy god, and also laughing at the clansmen in the clan, seeing that the Shen family is about to decline, his hand is stretched out faster than outsiders, and the foundation of the Shen family will be destroyed in a few days, and he can't step on him to prove to everyone that they are innocent, even more angry Although he sprinkled on his body and implicated them.

Probably, the Shen family's territory has been almost divided by the opponents outside, right? With the intervention of the Xiao family, a first-class family in City B, the Shen family is doomed, if you don't wield a knife at this time, when do you want to wait?

"No, no, if the Shen family is almost over, how can you still be in the mood to go back to the old mansion to worship your ancestors?" was furious by Shen Zhensheng's laughter, Liu Minzhi was scared and distressed, in the final analysis, she still loves Shen Zhensheng, and clinging to Shen Zhensheng to survive has become a habit that she can't change, Shen Zhensheng fell, and her sky fell with her, as for going back to her parents' home? She is in her forties, and she resolutely can't stand it when she goes back to see her brother and sister-in-law's face.

"Ancestor worship? Ha ha. Another laugh, "I'm going back to cross out the name of the evil obstacle, he even has a dirty name, what qualifications do you have to write it on my Shen family's ancestral tree?" Pointing horizontally at Shen Ran downstairs, Shen Zhensheng's eyes were full of disgust.

'Dong' Liu Minzhi sat on the floor and muttered to herself, "It's over, it's really over, I, my home, no ......"

"Impossible!" Shen Ran stood up and tilted his neck to retort, "The Shen family has a strong background, even if Li Jingxuan bites it, it won't collapse so quickly, Dad, please don't talk angry, I listened to it, it's uncomfortable." "It's really uncomfortable, all the internal organs are like a fire burning, and the pain is like a shadow around him.

In particular, the scream of his father's left and right is no less than a knife stabbing him in the heart, and the decision to cross out his name made his heart full of wounds bloody and painful.

"Are you uncomfortable? Is it comparable to my heartache? Li Jingxuan really doesn't have the ability to make the Shen family fall apart, but the Xiao family has, and the Xiao family will target the Shen family, all because of you! ”

"I just said a few words to Xiao Jinyu, I didn't mess with him, and I don't understand why he set me up, Dad, you have to believe me, I dare to swear to God, every word I say is true, otherwise there will be no corpse in the five thunders." Raising three fingers to the sky, Shen Ran's anxious lips turned white.

"You really didn't offend Xiao Jinyu?" The expression on his face moved slightly, and Shen Zhensheng furrowed his eyebrows.

"No, absolutely not." After he came back that day, he thought about it all the way back and forth, but the conclusion was that his head was foggy, and he only said four sentences to Xiao Jinyu from beginning to end, two sentences of 'Mr. Xiao', one sentence of 'no', one sentence of 'I'm sorry, I was reckless', which sentence can offend Xiao Jinyu to the point of having to bring down the Shen family? Unless someone is a ghost, as long as the person who makes a ghost is found, the Shen family will not worry about making a comeback.

Seeing that Shen Ran didn't look like he was lying, Shen Zhensheng restrained his anger and walked down the stairs quickly, "Give me a description of the process of your contact with Xiao Jinyu." ”

Liu Minzhi, who was sitting on the ground upstairs, also pricked up his ears to listen to Shen Ran describe what had happened, and in just over a minute, the expressions of the couple changed from serious to dazed to resentful, and they were surprisingly consistent.

"I want to see who is doing bad things to our Shen family." When the case was taken, Shen Zhen's angry eyes protruded slightly, and his whole face became more and more terrifying, and the light in his eyes was amazingly bright.

If the Xiao family didn't mean to rectify the Shen family to the death, even if the Li family and the Qin family joined forces, the Shen family would be reduced to the third rate at most, but it wouldn't even be able to keep the capital to settle down.

Staring at Shen Zhensheng's back and disappearing at the door of the study, Shen Ran withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Liu Minzhi, who was sitting upstairs, his throat was dry, and after a while, Shen Ran said in a low voice: "Mom, do you regret it?" ”

regretted recognizing 'Su Ran', regretting pampering 'Su Ran', and regretting listening to his analysis and finding Li Jingxuan together, which made the Shen family even worse.

Looking down at the cocoon in the palm of his hand, this body is Su Ran's, and when it is used by Su Ran, it is good, but when it comes to his hand, it is just a sickly shell.

He never thought that Su Ran's body would be so bad that he couldn't even eat chili peppers, it was raining on a cloudy day, and every bone joint was hurting, and when it came to winter, no matter how much clothes he wore would make his teeth tremble with cold, I really don't know, how did Su Ran survive, it must be very hard, right?

But he can live a chic and tasteful life, so that everyone who sees him has to praise him for being good.

If the Shen family recognized it as the real Su Ran......

Shaking his head gently, there is no if in the world to sell, clenching his palms heavily, now, he is Shen Ran, Shen Nian's Shen, Su Ran's Ran, but he is worthy of his name as 'different from the outside'.

Liu Minzhi upstairs was silent, Shen Ran waited for a long time, and the corners of his lips gradually became more mocking smiles, even he couldn't tell whether he was laughing at himself for being too stupid, or laughing at Liu Minzhi's maternal love was too thin, but no matter how thin it was, he also grabbed it desperately, who could complain about?

The door opened and closed, and Shen Zhensheng staggered out, his face as white as paper, laughing as he walked, and his face was full of tears.

"Retribution, haha, retribution, it turns out that no one complains, it was I who ruined the Ruoda Shen family."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" ran over to support Shen Zhensheng, who looked crazy, and Shen Ran felt a deep uneasiness in his heart.

"Zhensheng, what's wrong with you? Is it the Xiao family's ......" Holding the carved wooden pillars on the fence with both hands, he looked downstairs anxiously, Liu Minzhi had no strength in his legs, and his face was not much better than Shen Zhensheng.

The laughter stopped abruptly, Shen Zhensheng looked at Liu Minzhi in a daze for a long time, and then pushed Shen Ran away and ran upstairs like crazy.

"You go and ask Shen Nian to forgive me, Shen Nian will definitely listen to your words, Minzhi, you will help me, right? We are husband and wife, one is prosperous, one is lost, the Shen family is ruined, and you can't please it. Shaking Liu Minzhi's shoulders, Shen Zhensheng shouted with red eyes.

What could be more painful than being hopeless and then desperate? When the cause of this pain was planted by his own hands, that kind of remorse could instantly drown all of Shen Zhensheng's reason.

Originally, once the Shen family went bankrupt, he would be able to live peacefully until the end of his life with the money he had saved privately, but now that the Xiao family is in anger, can he be allowed to keep his money and grow old leisurely? No, they will let him leave T City in disgrace just like he drove Shen Nian away, and if it goes too far, he won't be able to take a single copper with him.

He is not afraid of death, he is only afraid of living like a beggar, with the means of the Xiao family, it is easier for him to live than to die than to pinch an ant to death, just as he put on a high posture and despised Shen Nian, so he will say retribution, if he is willing to accept Shen Nian sincerely, and is willing to take Shen Nian as his own son, today's Xiao family is the ladder to the sky of the Shen family, and it is just around the corner to squeeze into a super-first-class family.

"Don't shake, Zhensheng, I don't understand your words, why do you want to beg Shen Nian? Could it be that Shen Nian can help the Shen family tide over the difficulties? "It's ridiculous, Zhensheng shouldn't be delirious, right?

"Yes, only Shen Nian can make our Shen family safe and sound, do you know who he is?" Panting, the tip of Shen Zhensheng's nose was close to the tip of Liu Minzhi's nose.

"Who?" couldn't bear to look directly at Shen Zhensheng's face with snot and tears, Liu Minzhi stiffened her neck and leaned back.

"He should be surnamed Xiao, he is the child of the Xiao family who has been lost for nineteen years, the reason why the Xiao family deliberately targeted our Shen family is because we drove Shen Nian away, the Xiao family is angry for Shen Nian, you say, if we don't ask Shen Nian, who else can we beg?"

Upstairs and downstairs, Liu Minzhi and Shen Ran were stunned, Shen Nian's surname is Xiao? Xiao of the Xiao family?!

"Unbelievable, huh? I couldn't believe it, but when I saw Xiao An's photos, I didn't believe it. He handed the paper in his hand to Liu Minzhi, on which was a photo faxed to him by an old friend in his business in City B, the old friend didn't think much about it, but showed him a clear way out of the way, saying that the best thing for the Xiao family to stammer is Xiao An, and Xiao An may be able to solve the Shen family's predicament, but by coincidence, let him know the true source of the Shen family's disaster.

"This is Xiao An? It turned out to be exactly the same as Shen Nianchang? Holding the photo and exclaiming, there was a sudden 'poof' sound downstairs, Liu Minzhi turned his head to look down, only to see Shen Ran kneeling softly on the carpet, looking up at the chandelier overhead, as if he had lost half of his life.
