Chapter 276: Jiang is still old and spicy
Shen Yunyi really can't do anything now, after all, Jiang Tao is still in the corridor outside.
Although Du Shiyue took the initiative to intercept her, no one could say how long she could intercept her, so it would be better to take the person out of the living room as soon as possible.
In other words, the main thing is to take Shen Tian out of the living room, Miss Shen also knows that her father belongs to that kind of tendon, and attaches great importance to tradition.
Yes, it's hard to imagine that such a grumpy uncle who whips people with a golf club at every turn would be that kind of traditional.
But in fact, Shen Tian does attach great importance to tradition, respects the elderly, and never does anything to the elderly.
If he knew that Jiang Tao was Jiang Zheng's grandfather, he would definitely treat each other according to the etiquette of his elders, then this would be a big trouble.
Treat such an old liar with the etiquette of treating elders, and the result must be that he will enter the other party's various traps and be deceived to the point that his scalp is numb.
And just when Shen Yunyi took out a deck of playing cards and asked Jiang Zheng and Shen Tian not to fight in the living room, but to go to the study to rely on this showdown.
Shen Tian looked at the deck of playing cards in his daughter's hand, then glanced at Jiang Zheng with disdain, and sneered:
"Good daughter, are you sure you want me to use this thing to compete with him? Is this a little too unkind to the future son-in-law? β
"Oh?" Jiang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and replied with a smile:
"It seems that the future father-in-law is very confident in playing cards, so he probably doesn't usually fight with all kinds of three aunts and six mothers-in-law, landlords or something."
"Hmph, I'm not afraid to scare you to death when I say it, I'm a well-known gambling king, and I have left a famous name in Macau, Las Vegas and other places."
"The so-called prestige doesn't mean that you gave enough money, right? The legendary water fish? β
"You're the legendary fish of the water! Come on! Then we'll be on our own! If you lose, you will. Just wear underwear and run 10,000 meters around the mountain outside! β
When Shen Tian threw away the golf club in his hand in a hurry, he actually wanted to play such a big gamble with Jiang Zheng.
Everyone in the living room couldn't help but gasp, but Xia Hua couldn't help but reach out and cover his forehead, and then sighed slightly.
Hey, a creature like a man, even if he is forty or fifty years old, and his daughter is about to get married, he can still be so naΓ―ve, he is really convinced.
Although the gamble proposed by her father is a bit big, Shen Yunyi doesn't have time to pay attention to what the two are betting on now, she just wants to drive them into the study as soon as possible.
So Miss Shen immediately reached out and pushed her boyfriend and father, shouting while pushing:
"Okay, okay, you go into the study to gamble, don't make a noise here, I still have to talk to my mother."
As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Zheng and asked Jiang Zheng to take the stunned father away quickly.
Although Jiang Zheng didn't know why Shen Yunyi was so impatient, he still shouted at Shen Tian without hesitation:
"Okay, then let's play blackjack, six wins in ten rounds, and whoever loses will wear underwear and go outside to run 10,000 meters around the mountain."
After shouting, Jiang Zheng immediately took the playing cards from Shen Yunyi's hand and left, and deliberately walked out of an extremely arrogant posture, as if he had already won.
Seeing the future son-in-law's appearance of not recognizing his six relatives, Shen Tian was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he immediately strode after him.
When Shen Tian was finally led away by Jiang Zheng, the two went to the study not far away to close the door and compete for a victory.
Shen Yunyi was also a little relieved, and then turned to his mother Xia Hua and said:
"Mom, I have something very important to tell you, actually."
Because he didn't know when Jiang Tao and the others would come in, Shen Yunyi could only explain the dispute between Jiang Zheng and his grandfather as quickly as possible, and what kind of person his grandfather was.
After explaining at a very fast speed, Xia Hua pondered for a moment, then nodded:
"I see, in that case, just don't let your dad touch that old liar. The two of us can just talk to him. β
Xia Hua is also a person who has seen the world, and soon understood that her daughter was not joking, and she also thought of a way to deal with it.
If Jiang Tao came to seek the Shen family's property, then he would definitely use his relationship with Jiang Zheng and Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi to make a big fuss.
But this is not a big problem in Xia Hua's opinion, after all, on the one hand, the two are not married now, and they have nothing to do with each other legally.
On the other hand, even if the two get married, Xia Hua and Shen Tian are in the prime of life, and it will be at least twenty or thirty years before their daughter and son-in-law inherit the family property.
Jiang Tao, as Jiang Zheng's grandfather, is now sixty or seventy years old, can he wait another twenty or thirty years? It's hard.
Therefore, Jiang Tao, an old liar, is not a big deal in Xia Hua's opinion, at most it is a little trouble.
However, just as she was chatting with her daughter, an unfamiliar figure walked in the corridor of the living room not far away.
When he saw the old man with silver hair, neat suit, and a kind face, Shen Yunyi couldn't help frowning slightly.
Jiang Tao? What's going on? Why did he come in alone? What about Uncle and Shiyue?
It stands to reason that Jiang Tao is a guest brought back by Shen Xiao, he should be with Shen Xiao, and he shouldn't run around by himself.
And besides Shen Xiao, isn't there a Du Shiyue outside who intercepted them in the past? What about Du Shiyue?
Just under Shen Yunyi's somewhat surprised gaze, Jiang Tao walked over with a sheep's head on crutches and a smile on his face.
After he walked over, he bowed slightly to Xia Hua and Shen Yunyi, and said in a gentle tone:
"I'm sorry, ladies, I hope I didn't interrupt your chat."
Before the two of them could reply, Jiang Tao turned his head to look at Shen Yunyi and said with a smile:
"Seventy."
When he heard this sudden score, Shen Yunyi let out a puzzled "huh"?
What do you mean? Why did you suddenly start grading me?
As if he knew what the eldest lady was thinking, Jiang Tao explained:
"The first time I heard me report myself at the door, I obviously showed a look of surprise, indicating that you knew who I was."
"And you frowned a little when I walked in the door just now, and at the same time glanced at your mother, indicating that she also knew who I was."
"Although both times are just fleeting changes in demeanor, they are both a little too obvious, and it is easy for people to figure out what you are thinking, so it is only seventy points."
After explaining to the stunned Shen Yunyi, Jiang Tao looked at Xia Hua again, nodded and said:
"Mrs. Xia Hua's cultivation in this regard is much higher, she knows my identity and origin but does not move at all, and she is worthy of being the mistress of the Shen family."
What's this? He seems to know everything? And what's going on with this calm gesture?
Shen Yunyi, who had quickly digested Jiang Tao's words, secretly clenched his fists, feeling that the situation was far less simple than he had thought before.
Judging from Jiang Tao's remarks at this time, he clearly understood that Shen Yunyi and Xia Hua already knew his identity, and even knew what he was here for.
In this case, this old liar actually has the leisure to give them a score for their reactions, which is too. It's so bizarre.
"Thank you." Just when Shen Yunyi felt that his head couldn't keep up, Xia Hua smiled slightly and said with a smile:
"If it were an ordinary person, I would probably be a little angry when I heard him rate my daughter at will, but you are different, Mr. Jiang, you do have this qualification."
There are two "qualifications" in Xia Hua's mouth, the first is that Jiang Tao himself is old, and he is Jiang Zheng's elder, and he is higher than both of them in terms of seniority.
The second is that Jiang Tao is obviously very shrewd, and it can even be said that he has reached the level of an old man, and he can even grasp the subtle expressions and mental activities of others clearly.
This kind of old liar is very difficult to deal with, because no one knows which of his words is true and which is false.
But he has a pair of discerning eyes that can touch others thoroughly and extremely rich experience in observing people, and others have nothing to hide in front of him.
Good guys, it feels like you're facing an aging Ah Zheng. In the future, Ah Zheng will be old, and it is estimated that he will also feel like this person is old.
Wait, now isn't the time to think about these things, where did Uncle and Shiyue go? Why did he let him in alone?
The moment he thought of this, Shen Yunyi subconsciously looked in the direction of the corridor.
But as soon as she shifted her gaze to the hallway, she immediately realized that she had made another mistake.
Before Shen Yunyi could retract his gaze, he sat on the sofa, and Jiang Tao, who was sitting opposite the mother and daughter, raised his eyebrows and said:
"What? Do you care where your uncle and sister went? β
Since the other party saw through his psychology again, Shen Yunyi had no choice but to ask:
"Mr. Jiang. Do you know where they went? β
"Of course I do." Jiang Tao put down his crutches, leaned his somewhat rickety back against the sofa cushion, and said with a smile:
"I had them kidnapped, and of course I know where they went."
What! The moment Jiang Tao blurted out these words, Shen Yunyi almost jumped up from the chair!
Kidnap? This old man, he, he kidnapped his uncle and Shiyue! No way!
Although Shen Yunyi knew from the beginning that Jiang Tao was not good, he didn't expect him to do such a great job.
It's okay to run to the Shen family's small building to kidnap people, which is a little too much. Wait a minute? Did he do it because of my actions?
After reacting to why Jiang Tao wanted to kidnap Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and felt a trace of regret.
Speaking of which, Shen Xiao had been acting with Jiang Tao for so long, if he wanted to kidnap Shen Xiao, he didn't need to follow him to Jiangcheng at all, and he would be kidnapped casually outside.
And Du Shiyue herself is just a friend of Shen Yunyi, and there is no necessity and value to kidnap her at all.
In other words, Jiang Tao didn't think about attacking those two people before Shen Yunyi came over to report the news.
With Jiang Tao's intelligence and observation ability, he must have seen through that Du Shiyue was here to delay time.
In addition, he saw through the fact that Shen Yunyi knew his identity, and it was not difficult to think of Du Shiyue's purpose of coming over to delay time.
From the moment his identity was revealed, his plan to fool Shen Tian and Xia Hua in the name of Jiang Zheng's grandfather fell through.
As the saying goes, if a thief doesn't go empty, the plan has already collapsed anyway, so it's better to make another profit. Just kidnap Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue and ask for a huge ransom.
From this point of view, the kidnapping of Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue was completely caused by Shen Yunyi's recklessness.
Oops, it was me who saw through his mental activity, which is why Shiyue was tied up. This. How good is that?
That's right! Jiang Zheng! Jiang Zheng must have a way to save Shiyue, he. Hiss!
When he originally thought of this, Shen Yunyi almost subconsciously looked in the direction of the study where Jiang Zheng was.
But after realizing that she had accidentally leaked so much important information, she immediately forcibly turned her head and did not look at the study.
But before Miss Shen could put her mind at ease, Jiang Tao, who was sitting opposite her, nodded again and said approvingly:
"Ninety points, this time it was a good job, I didn't look in the direction of that side. Xiao is in the room over there, right? And there's another one who is there? Is it Shen Tian? β
Ha? Can this also be seen? No, how the hell is that? I didn't even look over there?
Looking at Miss Shen, whose eyes became flustered, Jiang Tao raised his cane again, pointed to the carpet on the side, and said with a smile:
"I suggest you don't use this kind of wool carpet indoors, although the luster, elasticity, tensile and other properties are excellent, but it is easy to leave footprints."
Shen Yunyi looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, there were a few shallow footprints in the direction of the study, but if he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be able to see it at all.
By now, Shen Yunyi completely understood how terrible the old liar in front of him was, and he also understood Jiang Zheng's concerns.
Boy. He had only been in for a few minutes, as if he had mastered all the details of the entire living room.
After understanding what a terrible opponent this was, Shen Yunyi first applauded, and then said solemnly:
"It's worthy of being a big guy who has been in the casino for most of his life, let's just say it, how much do you want?"
Although Shen Yunyi could also go to the study to call Jiang Zheng out, she didn't choose to do so.
Instead, he straightened his waist and looked directly at the other party, staring at the old face with every wrinkle covered with weather.
This gesture seems to say: "You have indeed seen through me, but I will not admit defeat, if you still want to make any moves, I will take it." β
In Shen Yunyi's opinion, Jiang Tao's kidnapping of Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue is nothing more than for money, so you can say how much money you want, and the Shen family can't afford it.
And even if you give this money, you may not be able to get it, and even if you get it, people will definitely not be able to run.
However, just when Shen Yunyi was about to start a negotiation with the other party on the matter of "how much ransom is Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue worth".
Jiang Tao's face changed to a strange smile, turned his head to look at the corridor, and said:
"Countdown, five, four, three"
What? Countdown? What is he counting down? Is there still his gang ready to rush in and tie us up?
Before Shen Yunyi could stand up and pull Xia Hua to run away, Jiang Tao counted the remaining "two" and "one".
Two familiar figures actually walked in leisurely from the corridor under Shen Yunyi's stunned gaze.
It's Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue. These two "hostages" who were supposed to have been kidnapped by Jiang Tao walked in again so lightly.
And judging from the expressions on their faces, these two people have never felt kidnapped at all?
