Chapter 301: The Mask of Hypocrisy
Shi Banghe's invitation was an opportunity that Shi Chen had been waiting for for a long time, so he went to find Yue Yuanliang's trouble with great fanfare, and smashed Shi Yuqian's field by the way, so he didn't do much more.
Now that he had tasted his wish, the original plan naturally had to be changed, and after saying hello to the stunned Lydia, he got into the Humvee that had chased him for hundreds of kilometers on the Third Ring Expressway.
"Fasten your seatbelts." Shi Qi whispered to Shi Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Shi Chen's face was solemn, and he did it as quickly as he could, he couldn't forget the madness of this third lady of the Shi family on the Third Ring Expressway.
Hummer flicked his tail in front of the gate of the Moon Pool School with a beautiful and domineering tail, and quickly drove into the distance, leaving a group of students looking at each other.
'Three Rings and Seventeen Lang' has not only been rumored in the underground world of Lunsar for a long time, but also in the University of Wolchi, as its birthplace.
Shi Chen and they sabotaged the gamble of Miss Shi Jiasan and Vice President Flandor of Yuntong, it can be said that there should have been a festival between the two, and after that, many students began to secretly bet on how long Shi Chen could be free and what kind of retaliation he would suffer from Miss Shi San.
However, to everyone's expectations, Shi Chen after that was still safe and sound, like a god possessed, inviolable to all evils, even Miss Shi San took him seriously, and once became one of the legends of the Yuechi campus.
In the end, some good people began to speculate whether Shi Chen was from the Shi family, so as to explain all this, but after the two had no intersection, the remarks stopped.
However, this time, Shi Chen actually sat in Miss Shi San's car and walked away, which can be predicted. This kind of rhetoric is about to be resurrected, but I am afraid that no one expected it, but they are a prophecy.
However, how public opinion on campus develops. I'm afraid that the two people sitting in the car at this moment are too lazy to pay attention to it and disdain to pay attention, and after leaving the Moon Pool, the green Hummer drove towards the Stone Forest Villa, which is one hundred and eighty kilometers away from Rensa.
Neither of them spoke along the way, making the atmosphere in the carriage a little dull, facing this cousin with an unpredictable temperament who had not formally crossed paths for more than ten years, Shi Chen glanced at her, and still spoke: "It seems that you are not repelled by me, the guy who entered the door halfway." ”
"I don't like it." Shi Qi was just a flashing road sign on the highway ahead. Said calmly.
Shi Chen's face stiffened slightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then what did you do that day to help me support the field." ”
"After all, it's a family, no matter how you fight inside. In front of outsiders, you have to maintain the face of the family. ”
In a few words, Shi Chen let go of the barrier, and the smile lines on his face became thicker. "You're really honest when you speak."
Hear this. Shi Qi's black eyes finally had a trace of emotion, "I have never denied this, but such a person is not suitable for surviving in the upper class of the capital star circle. ”
Shi Chen listened to this emotion, which was not like emotion, and a trace of understanding and pity flashed in his eyes, under such a close relationship, how could this Miss Shi San have the slightest rumored madness.
He had also heard some rumors about Shi Qi, and he couldn't help but feel that it was not strange for an absurd drama to happen in the upper circles. And between people, there is also a lot of hypocrisy and insidiousness. Each wears a mask that hides truth and weakness, and engages in long temptations and mutually beneficial transactions.
And Shi Qi's madness may be the mask she uses to protect herself, after all, no one wants to easily provoke a madman who even kills his brother.
As Shi Chen nodded approvingly, the carriage fell silent again, until the Hummer drove onto the winding road of Stone Forest Villa.
This is the first time Shi Chen has come here, looking out the window at the natural stone forest full of magnificent and strange wonders, looking at the beautiful scenery on the hills surrounded by white clouds like a fairyland, thinking that this famous scenic spot has been classified as a private territory, he can't help but feel that the life of a rich man still makes him a little incomprehensible after all, but to have such a large manor in such a place where every inch of land is worth every inch is enough to show the noble status of the Shi family in the Federation.
However, no matter how noble the Shi family is, he still does not have a sense of belonging to it.
In his few memories, the best years are still in the simple family of four on the Titans, and when he was carried by his parents on the Icarus, although life is not as noble and luxurious as the Shi family, it is the warmest memory of his life.
The military Humvee stopped at the side entrance of the Stone Forest Villa, and there were no bodyguards in charge of guarding, nor did the legendary retired soldiers stand guard, because the Stone Forest Villa itself is a deterrent, and the private satellite orbiting around the Aries Star in the low earth orbit overhead will be responsible for the 24-hour real-time monitoring of the Stone Forest Villa within a radius of 100 miles, and anyone who dares to fight the idea of the Stone Forest Villa is destined to touch the ashes of the nose.
When the car stopped, in front of the empty but sometimes majestic door, only an old butler waited quietly.
When Shi Chen was about to get out of the car, Shi Qi stopped him, glanced at Shi Chen deeply, and said: "Don't think that you are the heir of the Shi family, you can easily ask for the power of the family, some things are not as simple as you imagined, even if you mention it, you will only hit a wall." ”
Shi Chen heard this seemingly mean but secretly soft reminder, bowed his head to be taught, and responded softly: "Understand, don't worry, in fact, I have never regarded myself as the young master of the Shi family, and naturally I will not move those delusions, borrowing this tiger skin is enough." ”
Shi Qi didn't know why when he heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and said, "You must not be heard by my father about this sentence." ”
"Xie Lu, thank you, I know it." Shi Chen smiled and solemnly thanked him.
He could see that although this Miss Shi San didn't like him, she didn't have much hostility either, although it might be because of her personality, she said a lot of words to herself that were not disguised by hypocrisy, and this alone was enough to thank her.
Shi Chen got out of the car alone, and the Hummer drove away again, it seemed that for Shi Qi, this luxurious Stone Forest Villa was not a warm home, but a sad place that brought her countless gray memories.
Although it was the first time they met, the old housekeeper still gave Shi Chen the greatest courtesy.
The old housekeeper, who was over half a hundred years old, bowed when Shi Chen approached: "Welcome the young master home, the master is waiting for you, please come with me." ”
Shi Chen nodded with a complicated expression, and followed the old housekeeper towards the study of the head of the family, to meet the man who controlled the entire federal aviation field, the helmsman of the Shi family, his father's brother, and his second uncle, Shi Banghe.
When Shi Chen came to the study, there seemed to be someone talking inside, and at the signal of the old butler, they waited outside the door for a while.
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man walked out of the study with a gloomy face, saw Shi Chen waiting outside the door, was slightly stunned, and immediately put on a gentle smile, "You are Shi Chen?" ”
Shi Chen looked at the man in front of him who looked like Shi Yuqian, he had already guessed the identity of the other party, and nodded politely, "Yes, hello, third uncle." ”
Hearing this title, the middle-aged man's eyes couldn't help but show a cold light, but the smile on his face was even more cheerful, and he patted Shi Chen's shoulder heavily, "Yes, it's good to go home, it's good to go home, I usually don't have anything to do to get together with Yu Qian, although he is a bastard sometimes, but the Capital Star Circle has also been in the capital for a long time, if there is anything you don't understand, you can learn more from him." ”
Shi Chen said expressionlessly, "I'm from my province." ”
Shi Zhenghu nodded with satisfaction and passed by Shi Chen, but did not leave any waves in Shi Chen's heart.
The third uncle's undisguised hostility and hypocritical politeness made him know that this Shi family, at least Shi Zhenghu and Shi Yuqian, did not welcome him, because because of his arrival, he would take away a lot of things that they hoped to be obtained by their father and son, but what did it matter.
As the saying goes, if you have no desire, Shi Chen didn't plan to take anything from the Shi family, as long as the other party didn't take the initiative to provoke him.
At least, he has no intention of changing his mind at the moment, his biggest purpose in asking to see Shi Banghe this time is just to understand the secrets of the year, as Shi Banghe, who changed his identity back then, must know what to say.
After Shi Zhenghu left, the voice of the old butler sounded in his ears, "Master, please come in." ”
