Chapter 157: The Study
ββ
The Sheng family's study, which has been the territory of the head of the Sheng family for generations, has accumulated countless decisions for the Sheng family to accumulate huge wealth, and it is a decision made by the family here, but a room has always only existed in rumors, located in the most secret location of the Sheng family's old mansion.
Xia Nianzhi followed behind the old housekeeper, and he led Old Sheng to the hospital and led her to the hospital.
From the courtyard to the door of the study, you need to pass a covered bridge across the garden, the covered bridges are made of bluestone slabs, some years, covered with moss mottled, the rain outside the eaves of the corridor falls like a column, splashing wet skirts, but has never blocked the pace of pedestrians.
"Miss Xia, forgive me for saying this."
The old housekeeper is over the age of Shun, and all the grievances and hatreds in the world have long been seen - he didn't want to do much, but now Xia Nianzhi, the old mansion of the Sheng family, still came in, which means that although he doesn't know what is in the recorder, it is not good for his old man.
He watched from the bystanders for many years, and the old man was kind to him, and there were some words, but he still couldn't help but stay out of it.
"Miss Xia, over the years, Elder Sheng has really gotten older, and his body is also tormented by some minor illnesses." The old housekeeper chattered as he walked: "You will see the old man later, don't be as sharp and unforgiving as before, in fact, the old man is very old, and some time ago he often said that Xia Lao likes sesame glutinous rice cakes and golden pear soup......
The sound of rain is dripping, the wind is slight, looking at the river pond from afar, it is full of wind and lotus swaying that cannot be seen at a glance, and the waves are slightly wrinkled.
"Really? It seems that Sheng Lao still cares a lot about my grandfather's friend. β
Xia Nianzhi hooked his lips and smiled lightly, and the coolness at the bottom of his eyes did not melt in the slightest: "In this case, Elder Sheng should also want to find out for my grandfather who was the culprit behind the accident back then, and watch him be brought to justice and pay the price." β
The old butler's shoulders trembled slightly, and he had nothing to say; Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Xia Nianzhi's eyebrows became more and more indifferent.
In silence, the old butler silently pushed open half of the frosted sandalwood door, bowed slightly and made a gesture of please.
"Miss Xia, in fact, when I was old, I had no choice but to do so, please forgive me."
β¦β¦
Hidden in the secluded study among the forests, the ethereal light reveals a dull and obscure light.
Xia Nianzhi stood at the door, quietly looking at the silence in front of him, what would be in this mysterious study?
A ferocious beast on the lookout? Or a brutal monster with teeth and claws? There is no doubt that since Sheng Lao was able to treat the law as nothing and kill her family of three without scruples, now he can also take her life without scrupulousness.
"Miss Xia?"
The old housekeeper posed for an invitation for a long time, but saw that Xia Nianzhi did not react, and when he was puzzled, he heard footsteps approaching quickly behind him, and then heard a low and dumb male voice sounding in a deep voice at hand-"Niannian, what are you doing here?" β
"Er Shao, aren't you trying on wedding dresses with Miss Shen in the front hall...... Is it? β¦β¦β
Before the old housekeeper's words fell, he silently swallowed the remaining words back into his stomach under Sheng Can's cold eyes, and then the old housekeeper nervously changed his words: "Second Shao, that's the case, Miss Xia came to talk to the old man for tea and chat today......
Hearing the old housekeeper's explanation, Sheng Can's expression was cold, and there was a sharpness between his originally warm eyebrows, he grabbed Xia Nianzhi's hand directly, and said in a deep voice: "This is not a place where you can set foot casually, Niannian, don't make trouble, come with me, I'll send you out." β
Maybe it's because the study is located in a dense forest, and the humidity and coldness are all blocked, and the surroundings are a little hot.
Xia Nianzhi's clenched left palm was sweating, and through the other half of the sandalwood door, she saw Sheng Can, the man with an unkind look was quite anxious, and was trying to drag her away from the door of the study, Xia Nianzhi couldn't help but wonder, what was Sheng Can anxious about?
Anyway, even if Elder Sheng was furious, it was not him, the prince of the Sheng family, who suffered.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, Xia Nianzhi frowned and turned around, and after breaking Sheng Can's hand, he warned: "I have nothing to do with Sheng Ershao, I don't dare to accept your kindness, and I don't like strangers to approach, please don't drag me casually in the future." β
Xia Nianzhi, who was standing in front of him at this moment, was still a little girl treasured in the depths of his memory, but Sheng Can never thought that one day, his little girl would talk to him so harshly, refuse his approach, and even refuse to draw a line with him, overturn the love that had grown up together, and become a stranger.
"We don't know each other?" However, with a simple rhetorical question, Sheng Can's handsome eyebrows were full of blood: "Xia Nianzhi, do you dare to say it again?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing Xia Nianzhi sneering and silent, he turned around and stepped straight into the study.
Sheng Can was in a hurry, and his footsteps were about to follow closely behind the study, but he was held by the old housekeeper.
"Two less! No way! The old housekeeper glanced at Xia Nianzhi, who had already stepped into the courtyard of the study, and whispered: "You know, the old man doesn't like the people of our Sheng family and the people of the Xia family, getting too close is not beneficial to your future!" β
Sheng Can's footsteps to chase suddenly stopped, and the old housekeeper's words woke him up, he worked so hard to create an image of severing contact with Xia Nianzhi in front of his father, and he was determined to do so, but Xia Nianzhi could not fall short casually, but Xia Nianzhi could come out safely when he went in this time?
Sheng Can hesitated for a few seconds, but it was only these few seconds of hesitation, he finally failed to follow Xia Nianzhi into the study, as he had sworn by the curse, the knight who held the sword of the hero high, needless to be difficult, wearing courage, always protecting his Niannian.
The frightened old housekeeper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that Sheng Can no longer wanted to enter the study with Xia Nianzhi, he hurriedly dialed a familiar phone number, but it was not connected, so he had to rush to the flower room.
β¦β¦
In the huge house, the window is carved meticulously, the branches and vines lie on the side of the small window, the probe probes the brain, the room is full of ancient books scattered with the fragrance of books, and the white candle left behind is in the darkness, such as fireflies leaping, and the end is the quiet and elegant family rhyme, Tsinghua is noble.
Xia Nianzhi stood upright in the center of the room, his eyes swept over the silver-white voice recorder lying quietly on the bookcase.
After tossing for a long time, I finally saw Sheng Lao, but my mood was in a trance for a moment, scared? Fear? Wrath? Resentment?
These words didn't seem to be enough to sum up all her feelings for the old man in front of her.
In fact, when she was a child, even if she didn't dare to approach Sheng Lao, who always had a straight face, she also respected and admired Sheng Lao, after all, she was a business tycoon who was often praised by her grandfather.
There are also sheng marks, although he has always been taciturn and reluctant to show his emotions in front of others, but when others mention Sheng Lao, the deep black eyes that will always shine are even if they have never spoken, but they are not yearning for it and honored.
Xia Nianzhi lost her mind, and in a trance, she didn't know what tone to use to explain the purpose of her trip to Sheng Lao, but suddenly, Sheng Lao called her name, and completely dragged her back from the fugue space, which also completely broke her misunderstanding of this moment, a touch of warmth.
β¦β¦
"In the past, your grandfather always said that your temper and personality are most similar to his, and he spoiled you too much, did not eat the suffering of the world, did not understand the sinister hearts of people, for fear that in the future, without Xia's care, without him to shelter you from the wind and rain, your temperament will make you suffer and suffer."
Sheng Lao played with a tourmaline ring in his hand, his eyes fell on the row of bookshelves in the corner, he didn't know what he remembered, his bottomless eyes were covered with a layer of indistinguishable warmth, but it was only an instant, and when Xia Nianzhi wanted to think about it carefully, it had already dissipated.
"But from the current point of view, Zhang Guangming faked his death and fled, and he has been incognito abroad for many years, you can still investigate his past experience and ancestral relatives clearly, so as to threaten Zhang Guangming to turn against him, but you also have means and strategies."
Xia Nianzhi pursed her lips, and could almost guess Sheng Lao's 'but' turn, and sure enough, before she could sneer, she heard Sheng Lao sigh with emotion: "However, if your grandfather knew that he used to hold it in the palm of his hand and felt distressed, I only hope that her little granddaughter, who is ignorant of the world and lives a simple life forever, is now proficient in the survival rules of the jungle in the real society, I don't know if she will be sad and sad." β
The old man's eyes, which were somewhat similar to Sheng Zhen's eyes, were like torches, not angry and self-assured, Xia Nianzhi did not shy away from looking directly at his indifferent eyes, listening to the old man even omit greetings, and pulling her grandfather as a tool to ridicule her, the tension in Xia Nian's heart instantly calmed down.
"My grandfather is naturally heartbroken, but his old man has been teaching me earnestly since he was a child - the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, so now our ancestors and grandchildren are separated by yin and yang, who is the ...... to give it" Xia Nianzhi said indifferently: "My grandfather is like a mirror in his heart, and he will naturally go to find the culprit, although he is underground at the moment, but maybe Sheng Lao has heard the old saying that the soul asks for his life?" β
Since ancient times, he was afraid of ghosts, but Xia Nianzhi never thought that Sheng Lao was not panicked at all, only to see that after he carefully put the tourmaline ring back into the satin box, he lit a cigar, but he only clamped it on his fingertips and watched the spark burn the whole cigar into ashes.
"I think about it day and night, but it's a pity that your grandfather is ruthless and never shows up."
For no reason, the subconscious that belongs to a woman's sixth sense told Xia Nianzhi that Sheng Lao's words were strange.
However, Xia Nianzhi also understands that she doesn't have any extra time to think about what is wrong with it at the moment.
Xia Nianzhi knew very well that if she confronted the battle-hardened old fox at the negotiation table like Sheng Lao, if she wanted to get what she wanted, she would have to go straight to the point, fight quickly, and never beat around the bush and play the word game of verbal warfare.
β¦β¦
"Sheng Lao, why don't we get straight to the point, in business, you have checked my goods, and naturally know that this music is extremely beautiful and rare, so I don't know what price Sheng Lao is willing to pay to buy this peerless masterpiece that has never been seen before or since?"
"Buy?"
When Sheng Lao heard this, he seemed to have heard some very funny joke, and he sneered at the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes: "It's just such an audio, so cheap, when did I say I wanted to buy it?" Miss Xia, are you a fool's dream, or is it whimsical? Little girl, that's not how business works. β
"Oh? The essence of business is nothing more than the word buying and selling, so what can't be sold in the world? β
Xia Nianzhi turned around and paced to the tea table, picked up one of the white porcelain and blue glazed teacups, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Three years ago, Sheng Can used my marriage contract with him as a bargaining chip to sell him his status as a super first-line actor in the entertainment industry of Southern Province, and since then, he has risen to the top; Two years ago, you took Yang Xuan'er's father's career a step further, bought this talented girl who graduated from an Ivy League school with a doctorate, and was willing to become Sheng Lao You stayed by Sheng Zhen's side as a spy, and the land in the east of the city was successfully placed under the name of the Sheng Group; β
ββ¦β¦ Elder Sheng, now, do you still think that the audio I took out is not qualified to be a cargo? β
Before the words fell, Sheng Lao's expression changed slightly, the former, it was about Sheng Can and her, Xia Nianzhi was not surprised, but Yang Xuan'er did make him a little stunned - something that even Sheng Jian hadn't noticed, how did Xia Nianzhi smell the connection?
Thinking of this, Sheng Lao made up his mind to appease the little girl in front of him first, but before he could speak, he saw Xia Nianzhi, who was originally carefully looking at the white porcelain teacup, as if crazy, and slammed the teacup in his hand head-on against the wall.
"Xia Nianzhi!!"
Xia Nianzhi, who was named and shouted angrily, smiled lightly, the pear vortex rippled with a touch of ridicule and ridicule, picked up another white porcelain teacup again, looked at Sheng Lao, who was already angry, the smile in the corner of his eyes quickly disappeared, and said awefully: "I smashed my own things, why should Sheng Lao be so angry, how much is this set of teacups worth, I know very well in my heart, I will compensate Sheng Lao, you will dissipate your anger, and your anger will hurt your body." β
The angry Sheng Lao stared at the teacup held in Xia Nianzhi's palm, panicked, he pushed away the Taishi chair, got up and hurried to the tea table, and said angrily: "Xia Nianzhi! Put things down for me!! β
"Elder Sheng, I'm really strange, why are you so nostalgic for our Xia family's things?"
When the words fell, Sheng Lao was stunned.
β¦β¦
She originally only thought it was strange, Yang Xuan'er was just a mere SΒ· The former assistant of the secretariat of Group M, if he is from a background, is just a father who is a petty official in the county seat, and he is qualified to participate in Mrs. Sheng's birthday dinner, why?
However, later, she sent people to trace the antique collections that were lost when Xia's Manor was auctioned, and found that one of the white porcelain tea sets was actually bought by Yang Xuan'er, and she inadvertently excavated that although the buyers behind the many collections of Xia's Manor secretly had their own names and spread over countless countries at home and abroad, they finally gathered to a certain account of Shengshi Bank under Pingcheng Shengshi Group - Yang Xuan'er.
Back then, the collections in Xia's Manor were all worth a lot of money, and Yang Xuan'er's net worth couldn't afford them at all.
Bold guessing, careful verification, and the final conclusion is shocking, but when you think about it, there are actually clues.
Seeing that the furious Sheng Lao paused to snatch the white porcelain teacup, Xia Nian's heart was even more puzzled, with the Sheng family's heritage, the tea set locked in the warehouse would not be more precious than this set of white porcelain, so why should Sheng Lao be so concerned about this set of tea sets?
Even this set of tea sets is not from the handwriting of some famous master at all, it is just an assignment for her grandfather to learn pottery when he was young, and it can barely be regarded as a graffiti work, and there is no collection value at all.
ββ¦β¦ Xia Nianzhi, this is not a place for you to go wild......"
However, after a while, Sheng Lao had already regained his composure, raised his hand to button up his suit jacket, and then sorted out the lower cufflinks, condescendingly, looked down at Xia Nianzhi, and said in a cold voice: "No matter how you splash, it is impossible to pose a threat to me, this audio does not mean anything, Xia Nianzhi, you are still too young, and you even delusionally think that you can deduct the murder charge on me with just one audio...... Little girl, you are so naΓ―ve......"
"Really? So what if I say, I want something else? β
