Chapter 11: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Mu Ran remembered when he heard Shen Xue say, and hurriedly pointed to his mouth and made a "shhhhhh Then he got up and opened the office door and looked out to make sure no one heard, before returning to where he was.
"Grandpa said that there is no way to protect me in the future, let me go to Zhongda Bank to find President Zhou if I have something, and he will help me." Shen Xue told Mu Ran everything that her grandfather had left.
"Have you been looking for it?" Mu Ran realized that his grandfather's words were not simple.
"No, although I have been bullied in the Shen family, I have not yet encountered a time when I need help." Shen Xue didn't know what the relationship between her grandfather and this Governor Zhou was, but since her grandfather said so, she must be a trustworthy person.
"What does Grandpa mean is that you are in trouble and go to this Governor Zhou for help, or is he hinting that you are looking for Governor Zhou to tell you the truth?" Mu Ran said the question in his heart.
The two of them were silent for a while, could it be that there was really something else to do with Grandpa's death, and this President Zhou was an insider?
"Wife, now the media and the Shen family are very concerned about you, so even if we want to go to President Zhou to ask something, we have to slow down, and I will go to the Shen family with you for dinner tonight." Mu Ran was afraid that Shen Xue would care about it, so he went directly to Zhongda Bank on impulse, not only to startle the snake, but also to put Shen Xue in danger.
"Well, I know my husband." Shen Xue wanted to know the inside story so much that she even wanted to go to Zhongda Bank to ask now, but she knew in her heart that what Mu Ran said was right.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Mu Ran took Shen Xue to the Shen family's villa.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the whole Shen family was dressed up and sitting neatly on the sofa, and only a few servants were busy preparing dinner.
"Oh, Xiaoxue, are you back? You're not at home during this time, and grandma misses you. When Mrs. Shen saw Mu Ran and his wife, she immediately got up from the sofa and walked to the door, holding Shen Xue's hand tightly.
"Grandma" Shen Xue's voice was faintly like a mosquito, and she couldn't hear it if she stood a little farther away.
Grandma Shen was dressed in a delicate ink-colored old cheongsam, her gray hair was obviously freshly styled, and the sapphire necklace around her neck sparkled under the crystal chandelier in the living room. With a smile on her face, she held Shen Xue with both hands and led her to the restaurant.
Looking at the other people in this living room, which one of them didn't beat and scold Shen Xue on weekdays, but they all treated her respectfully today. If you don't know the inside story, who will come to see it and say that this is a happy family?
As soon as Shen Xue and Mu Ran sat down at the table under the leadership of their grandmother, the maid hurriedly served a few dishes, all of which were Shen Xue's favorite food.
As Shen Xue and Mrs. Shen sat down, everyone sat in their seats, and the family looked very harmonious on the surface, but each had a ghost.
"Today, Xiaoxue and Mu Ran are back, our family is really here, as the saying goes, family and everything is prosperous, no matter how noisy we were before, we are all a family." Old Lady Shen held her wine glass. Preaching to a room full of people.
When the others heard her words, they all immediately nodded and greeted.
"Grandma is right, sister, I will respect you first, my little sister has done something wrong before, and you can bear more." Shen Yu immediately picked up behind her grandmother and took the wine glass to Shen Xue.
No wonder grandma has favored Shen Yu the most since she was a child, her head is really fast.
Shen Xue didn't respond to her sister, glanced at Shen Yu's wine glass hanging in the air, and said softly, "Let's eat." ”
"Yes, yes, Xiaoxue must be hungry too, let's hurry up and eat, if there is anything to say, let's talk about it after eating." Grandma immediately came out to play the round.
Next, the sound of wine glasses colliding is mixed with the sound of dishes and chopsticks, the sound of bars, and the occasional laughter... These voices were mixed together, making the Shen Mansion of Nuoda extremely lively.
No one mentioned the Mo family, and no one came to ask Shen Xue, everyone was covering the last fig leaf. Shen Xue laughed at this group of hypocrites in her heart, could they really hold back and not ask?
"Xiaoxue, how did you know the old man of the Mo family?" Shen Tang was the first to speak.
Also, in this family, the only one who really has a relationship with her is this father, even if this father has cared little about her since she was a child, but there is nothing wrong with asking a few words under the banner of caring for his daughter.
Shen Xue looked up and looked up, Shen Tang looked anxious, as if he was really worried that his daughter would have something to do with the mysterious Mo family.
"The last time the LI brand plagiarism incident was very big, Mr. Mo saw it and felt that my work was very in line with their company's corporate culture, and he liked it very much, so he decided to hand over the jewelry collection to me." Shen Xue said tepidly.
She actually didn't know why the old man of the Mo family would help her, thinking about it, only the last plagiarism incident could make her be noticed by the old man of the Mo family, so she guessed a reason to prevaricate the Shen family.
"It's as simple as that?" When Shen Xu heard Shen Xue's words, he cut it with disdain, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's as simple as that, otherwise what else does my cousin think there is?" Shen Xue's cold eyes stared at Shen Xu like Shentan, maybe it was because she had the aura of the Mo family on her body, and Shen Xu felt furious in his heart, and finally simply lowered his head and stopped looking at her.
"That's it, our Xiaoxue is so good, shouldn't the Mo family take a fancy to her work?" Chen Hui glared at Shen Xu viciously, and smiled at Shen Xue flatteringly.
"Xiaoxue, your sister is now cooperating with the Mo family on the air conditioning project, but now there are a few materials that have not passed the quality inspection, see if you can say hello to the Mo family and give us a few more days." Chen Hui kept putting the dishes on the plate into Shen Xue's bowl.
When Mu Ran saw this scene, he only thought it was very funny, who would have thought that Chen Hui, who had been a vicious stepmother since she was a child, would have such a kind side.
"Mom, I can't help Xiaoyu with this, I'm not familiar with the Mo family, and I can't get involved in such a big project."
It was hard for Shen Xue to imagine that people could be so shameless, and they were embarrassed to ask themselves for help.
When Chen Hui heard Shen Xue say this, she immediately put back the flattery she had just made, her face became very solemn, and her eyes were full of hatred as before.
"The family eats and talks about work." Grandma realized Chen Hui's emotional changes, and was afraid that she would say something that would stimulate Shen Xue if she had always been mean, so she quickly interrupted.
Different from the lively sound just now, at this time, the topic was pulled to the meal again, but everyone was very quiet. They signaled peace to Shen Xue, but it was clear that Shen Xue refused. Everyone didn't have much appetite, and only the sound of Mu Ran gulping soup in the villa kept echoing...
After eating, Mu Ran prepared to leave the Shen family with Shen Xue.
"Xiaoxue, you and Mu Ran come back to live, seeing the two of you renting a house outside, grandma and I are really distressed." Old Mrs. Shen began to pull Shen Xue to play again, and when she looked closely, she still had tears in her eyes, she really looked like a good grandmother who felt sorry for her granddaughter.
"Ahem... Ahem... Grandma, don't bother, Xiaoxue and I have a place to live. Mu Ran finally opened his mouth, and he didn't speak during the banquet because no one paid attention to him.
"Grandma is talking to her sister, what are you interjecting? My sister is now the design director of the Mo family's jewelry collection, how hard the work is, is it appropriate to rent a house with you and live outside? Xiaoyu glanced at Mu Ran and said disdainfully.
"That's it, you just follow Xiaoxue back to live in the villa and enjoy Qingfu, so much nonsense." Chen Hui also helped her daughter suppress Mu Ran on the side.
This family, sure enough, the dog can't change eating....
"Grandma, it's good that Mu Ran and I live in the Imperial Capital Garden now, so I won't come back to trouble everyone."
Shen Xue saw that they began to humiliate Mu Ran, and couldn't help but speak for her husband.
Imperial Capital Garden? Which is the most luxurious villa area in Jeonbuk? I heard that any villa in it costs hundreds of millions, how could they live there!
Everyone showed frightened expressions when they heard Shen Xue's words, their Shen family was also a bit wealthy, and they couldn't afford to buy a house in the Imperial Capital Garden.
"Imperial Capital Garden? Is it the top mansion with only 5 villas in the whole community? Shen Shuangshuang couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked Shen Xue, the richest person in her circle was the Bai family, and their family couldn't afford to live in the Imperial Capital Garden.
"Xiaoxue followed me out, I definitely can't let her suffer, grandma, let's go first." Mu Ran looked at them stunned, only felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly left the Shen family with Shen Xue.
After they left, several juniors of the Shen family began to talk about it.
"Shen Xue's new company, but in the most core business district of Beicheng, I went to see it, and it is not much smaller than our Shen family's company." Shen Yu expressed his doubts to everyone.
"You say, where did the two of them get the money, to open a company and live in a villa, don't Shen Xue have no shares in his hands?" As soon as Shen Shuangshuang saw the rich man, she couldn't help but have stars in her eyes.
"I still remember the day they were kicked out, Bai Fei and I met them in the mall, in the top shopping mall in Beicheng, Mu Ran bought a bag for Shen Xue like buying vegetables! And I don't know what he said to the manager, the manager was so scared that he kicked me and Bai Fei out. At that time, Shen Yu came back and only cared about complaining and crying, and he didn't even see the problems inside, but now that he looks at it, the two people at that time are already different from before.
"When Mu Ran first came to the Shen family, he told us that his parents had passed away, and there were almost no relatives." Chen Hui thought that if there was nothing wrong with Shen Xue, then the problem could only be with Mu Ran.
"You say, is he going to win some jackpot?" Every time Shen Xu speaks, there is a beauty that is missing from the brainstem.
"Don't discuss it, Zhewen, you send someone to check on Xiaoxue and Mu Ran's situation." Shen Zhewen never likes gossip, he only cares about whether the Shen family's property finally falls into his hands or in the hands of Shen Yu. So this kind of thing is usually given to him by his grandmother.
Just when everyone was scolded by grandma and stopped talking, they suddenly heard a knock from upstairs, and the direction of the sound should be from grandma's bedroom.
Old Mrs. Shen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and strode upstairs quickly, and when she was about to walk to the door of the room, she saw Shen Tang walking out of the bathroom next door.
"Why are you here?" Hasn't he been downstairs all the time? When did it come up?
"Mom, I just went upstairs to answer a phone, and it was too noisy downstairs, so I went to the toilet by the way." Shen Tang's face was left with a sweat of weakness.
Mrs. Shen opened the door of her bedroom and found that there was nothing unusual inside. She looked at Shen Tang scrutinically, and said coldly: "Let's go down if there's nothing to do." ”
Shen Tang agreed, and walked in the direction of the staircase, he was stared at by the old lady and his heart only trembled, but he was afraid that if the old lady asked a few more words, he would have to show his stuff.
After everyone dispersed, Shen Tang returned to his room and didn't know who to call:
"The official seal is in hand, see you at the old place tomorrow."
