Chapter 10 Heartache
In another villa in the compound, Shen Guangnan and Mrs. Shen stood cautiously in the middle of the hall, and even their breathing became much quieter. In front of them, Uncle Zhou held the envelope left by Chen Youshan in his hand, and whispered something to an old gentleman in Tang costume.
This old gentleman is kind and kind-eyed, and he is at least sixty years old, but his body looks very tough, and his bright eyes are full of indisputable calmness and calmness that have experienced strong winds and waves.
This old gentleman is the main owner that Chen Youshan wanted to find before, and he is also the real master of the Shen family, Shen Congwen.
"What did you say?"
After a while, Shen Congwen seemed to have heard something, his voice suddenly increased an octave, and even his voice became a little strange, staring at the envelope in Uncle Zhou's hand with a shocked expression.
Uncle Zhou nodded lightly and said, "I've already let people catch up, but it's hard to say whether I can catch up or not." ”
Shen Congwen opened the envelope in his hand in a little anxious, and when he saw the contents inside, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the next moment, his breathing became short. The sharp gaze fell on Shen Guangnan, making the latter shudder, his face full of panic.
"Dad, listen to me......"
"Take her away, ask her what the whole thing is, and see what they have to say to him, not a word less." Shen Congwen didn't mean to hear what he said at all, pointed at Mrs. Shen, motioned for Uncle Zhou to take her away, and said in a cold voice: "If what I hear from the two of you later is inconsistent, the two of you will get out of the Shen family forever." ”
His tone sounded calm, but anyone could tell his monstrous anger in those two sentences.
"Dad......" Shen Guangnan was shocked, he was so big, it was the first time he heard his father say such cruel words.
Uncle Zhou took two steps forward and said, "Young lady, let's go." ”
Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Guangnan and followed in fright, leaving only Shen Congwen and his son in the room.
"Say it." Shen Congwen said expressionlessly.
Shen Guangnan swallowed nervously, and after hesitating for a moment, he still told the whole thing in one hundred and fifty-ten, and did not dare to omit a word.
After listening to this, Shen Congwen didn't say a word, but his face turned pale, and even his breathing became much heavier, obviously holding back his anger.
It didn't take long for Uncle Zhou to walk in with Mrs. Shen and whispered something in his ear.
"Guangnan, you've disappointed me so much." It wasn't until after confirming from Uncle Zhou that Shen Guangnan's words were true that Shen Congwen said with a sad face: "Do you know that if it weren't for that old gentleman, you would have died by now." If there was no old gentleman, where would there be the current Shen family? Where is the current life? ”
Shen Guangnan lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, as if he was greatly frightened.
Shen Congwen suddenly shouted: "The current master of the Shen family? When did you become the master of the Shen family? When will it be your turn for the Shen family to call the shots again? If you really have this ability, where is the elegance to work so hard now? ”
A few words directly frightened Shen Guangnan for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Dad, I know it's wrong, I'll get that little brother back if I go now, I'll go now." ”
"Looking for him? Where do you go to find it? Shen Congwen threw the envelope in his face, "Take a good look at what is written on it!" ”
Shen Guangnan hurriedly caught the envelope, opened it and looked at it, and the next moment, as if he had seen something unbelievable, he gasped fiercely, his eyes widened.
It's a piece of paper with only a few crosses written on it. At the beginning is a simple greeting, and then goes straight to the topic, so that they don't have to take the things of the year to heart, and ask them to be sure to take back this half of the jade pendant.
There is no hypocritical politeness, no excessive greetings, just a few simple words, which directly and clearly express Chen Youshan's intention, and the letter is not even signed.
"Collect ...... Collect and receive? Shen Guangnan looked at the letter in his hand with a shocked expression, and even his tone became stammering, "He...... He came today to return this half of the jade pendant? ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Shen's eyes instantly widened, and she came over in disbelief, and turned her eyes to the letter, and when she saw the contents clearly, her face suddenly became frightened, and she looked at Shen Guangnan in a little panic. It seems that only then did he realize what a stupid thing he had done.
That person actually came to return it? Just returning? How is this possible? Don't you want a huge fortune at your fingertips? Where else in the world is there such a person? Thinking of the words they said earlier, both of them had a feeling of self-shame.
Shen Congwen took a deep breath, calmed down his fluctuating emotions, and said slowly: "The two of you will move out of the Shen family immediately, and within three years, you are not allowed to touch a penny in the Shen family's account." ”
The corners of Shen Guangnan's eyes jumped fiercely, and he begged: "Dad......"
"Get out!" Shen Congwen roared angrily.
Shen Guangnan's lips moved, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more, put the letter on the table, and pulled Mrs. Shen out in a gray manner. If he stays any longer, the old man will really break his leg.
"This unassuming thing." Shen Congwen looked angry and painful, and sat down on the side tremblingly.
Uncle Zhou hurriedly walked over and said, "Master, don't be angry, your body is important." ”
Shen Congwen said with a sad face: "Old Zhou, if you let that old gentleman know about this, he will ...... What should he think of us? How big are we losing today? It took me a lot of effort to get the land down so that one day the old gentleman would find us, but ......"
Uncle Zhou smiled wryly, not knowing what to say. What happened today was a bit of a surprise to them. They didn't expect that this half of the jade pendant would finally appear, and they didn't expect Shen Guangnan to dare to forget their previous advice and make an assertion, and they didn't expect him to say something that made them feel ashamed.
Uncle Zhou took the letter paper, and after seeing the content on it, the bitterness on his face became more and more intense, and said: "Master, when you gave it to him, he refused to accept it, and in the end, you forced it into him." I originally thought that this half of the jade pendant would never reappear, but I didn't expect that the old gentleman would actually send it back after thirty years, it can be seen that the old gentleman takes the word promise very seriously, he doesn't want us to remember this half of the jade pendant, and he himself doesn't want to keep it anymore, so he asked his disciples to send him back. ”
Shen Congwen sighed: "However, we broke this promise, broke the young man's heart, and lost the face of the Shen family." ”
Uncle Zhou said: "Master, don't worry, as long as that young man is still here, we will definitely be able to find him." ”
"Don't be too confident, we don't even know what each other looks like, how can we find them?" Shen Congwen sighed again and said, "He kindly sent the jade pendant back, but he was humiliated like this in the Shen family, it is definitely impossible for him to take the initiative to come back, maybe he has left the city now." ”
"Why don't we ask Director He for help?" Uncle Zhou asked tentatively.
Shen Congwen waved his hand: "No, he is not a prisoner." Moreover, it is not appropriate to spread this matter. If some people with ulterior motives know, whether it is for the Shen family or the young man, it will be extremely unfavorable. It may even bring him a fear for his life. ”
"Why don't you let Grace think of a way? That girl is smart and clever, maybe there will be a way. ”
Shen Congwen thought about it, agreed, and said, "You tell Grace about this matter, let her think of a way, no matter what, we have to find him." ”
Uncle Zhou answered and walked outside quickly. But only a few minutes later, he walked back quickly, and said helplessly: "Master, they didn't catch up with him, and they didn't even see his shadow. ”
Shen Congwen just nodded lightly, did not show any surprise, and said, "You have also worked hard in the past two days, send more people out." ”
"I know." Uncle Zhou answered and walked out again.
Shen Congwen looked at the envelope in his hand and did not move for a long time......
