Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Poisoned Mouth

ShenJi saw that the whites of Old Man Gu's eyes were red with anger. He pressed his arm down accurately, and the sound of cutting through the air reappeared. The second bullet landed on the knee of GuYiqing's other leg.

"…"

With a muffled groan, GuYiqing's body went limp and he collapsed in the wheelchair, fainting.

"Mr. Gu?" ShenJi's tone was teasing and he said, "It's your turn to speak."

Old Master Gu knew that he would gain no advantage by confronting him today. Even if both sides would be destroyed, he might be able to injure him. Even if he was lucky enough to take his life, the Zhuge family in Fengcheng would be a big trouble.

Without full preparation, you can't joke with the entire Gu family.

Just before ShenJi showed his impatience, Mr. Gu spoke unwillingly.

"That's all. That's the end of it."

ShenJi threw the gun back to Hei Feng, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled as if nothing had happened.

"That's right. You made your grandson suffer so much. People who don't know would think that his bloodline is impure."

Old Master Gu raised his hand backwards, and the two competing forces stopped and stood still.

"I've heard that Master Shen is decisive in killing people. Being young and energetic may be a good thing, but if you are too energetic, you may bring about your own destruction."

After giving the warning, he slammed his cane on the ground and turned to leave.

LiShuang had turned her back and was looking at the long table with exquisitely laid out dishes.

[Gu is murderous, this strawberry flavor is too sweet, is there a vanilla flavor? ]

ShenJi's face darkened.

Is he the one who killed your little cake?

"Miss Li!" Lu Jiuqian moved over with ill intentions.

LiShuang raised her eyes and looked at him.

He was one of those handsome guys who you could instantly recognize, but the cut on his forehead and the bruises on his cheekbones and mouth corners diminished his appearance a bit.

LiShuang's cheeks, stuffed with the cake, moved slightly twice, and she withdrew her gaze.

"Mr. Lu, is there something wrong?"

Lu Jiuqian smiled: "I helped you, is this how you thank me?"

Whether he is helping ShenJi or himself, LiShuang is not a fool.

"Then I thank you, but you can't take credit for it from the Second Master anymore."

"Tsk!" Lu Jiuqian frowned and crossed his arms over his chest.

Why is LiShuang so weird?

Sometimes she's kind of cute, not that annoying.

ShenJi stood beside her.

Although she was bearing all the pressure, she was quite happy eating.

Lu Jiuqian paid attention to the way ShenJi looked at her, leaning against the pillar beside her like a boneless body, and narrowed her eyes mischievously.

"Second Master, do you like the eldest daughter of the Li family or the second daughter?"

LiShuang rolled her eyes secretly.

[Listen, ShenJi has already mentioned LiWanwan to his friends in private. I have to find someone else to lean on, lest they get together to mess with me someday——]

As soon as the thought came to her mind, LiShuang felt a pain on her cheek and was forced to turn her head and look into his eyes, blinking in surprise.

"Second Master, what are you doing?"

ShenJi frowned resentfully: "You only know how to eat. You are getting so fat."

Lu Jiuqian pursed his lips speechlessly.

Are you two flirting?

LiShuang didn't have any anxiety about her figure, and she really wasn't anxious. She hadn't put down the small vanilla cake she had just picked up. Not knowing what he was suddenly doing, she raised it to his mouth.

"This should taste delicious, would you like to try it, Master?"

ShenJi lowered his eyes and glanced at the green on her fingertips, then let go of her hand in disgust: "Take it away."

LiShuang didn't hesitate. Just as the tip of the cream started to melt in her mouth, BaJie's reminder sounded.

[Master, the Shen family is here, the one wearing glasses is Shen Yuci.]

As soon as LiShuang looked over, a flash of darkness passed before her eyes, and she could only see the man's broad back and the expensive suit fabric.

Lu Jiuqian also restrained his smile.

LiShuang looked through the gap between the two of them.

BaJie: [The man in the front is called Shen Guang, he is ShenJi's half brother, and next to him is his wife Hua Xiaolian. ]

Shen Guang stopped in front of ShenJi and glanced behind him with a serious expression.

"You have a girlfriend? Why don't you bring her back to meet dad?"

LiShuang: [Mr. Shen is not dead yet? ]

BaJie: [I had Alzheimer's disease a few years ago, but with good care, I can still live. ]

ShenJi is tall, looks down on everyone, and speaks in a contemptuous tone.

"Are you unable to worry about anything else? You are just worrying about useless things."

LiShuang tasted the vanilla cake: [ShenJi's mouth is like poison, no wonder it's so deadly when he kisses her.]

BaJie is not sure: [Are you praising him? ]

Shen Guang frowned, suppressed his temper, was fat and had a rough voice.

"No matter what, you have the blood of my Shen family in your veins. The old man has been in poor health recently. No matter how angry you are, you should go back to see him."

ShenJi chuckled casually as if he heard a joke.

"You don't have to see him, but I can go back and see him off anytime."

"Uncle, grandpa always misses you." Shen Yuci spoke in a soft voice.

LiShuang took a quick look.

He is about the same height as ShenJi, but ShenJi has well-developed muscles and looks more powerful. Shen Yuci, on the other hand, is wearing a well-proportioned suit and a frameless sunglasses, which makes him look much more gentle, and his temperament is also reserved and noble.

[It feels like a married woman, which is also my favorite style. ]

ShenJi pursed his thin lips.

She is dead.

ShenJi spoke to Shen Yuci in a light tone.

"In that case, you are always with the old man, so he should be nagging you."

"Why? Did he see through your rotten nature and think it's unlucky to mention it?"

In the chaos just now, LiZeshou and the host have already taken control of the situation on the stage. What echoed in the venue was the host's quick-witted and responsive words, bringing the audience back to today's topic.

LiWanwan walked around to LiShuang from behind.

"younger sister."

LiShuang didn't understand why she always focused her attention on herself, and looked at her indifferently.

"The show is about to begin. As today's heroine, why are you looking for me?"

LiWanwan gently pulled her hand.

"I don't want you to misunderstand me. I am lucky enough to become your sister only because my mother married into the Li family. I will not take away everything that belongs to you——"

"Stop." LiShuang pulled back her hand. "Only when I lose something I care about can it be considered stealing. Why do you always talk nonsense to me?"

LiWanwan was wearing a white dress, her collarbone was deeply sunken and shining, her brows were lowered with a look of grievance, and she looked pitiful.

"We are all girls, there is no need to be so competitive. Believe me or not, I have always been looking forward to having a younger sister—"

"Let your new father work hard, and he will succeed." LiShuang interrupted her again.

ShenJi's ears were pointed and he couldn't help but sneer.

You are the only one who has sweet words but no venom.

While he was distracted, Shen Guang got angry because of what ShenJi had just said.

"If you dare to insist on your own way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

BaJie reminded quietly: [Master, ShenJi said that he wanted to take over Shen Guang's Nanjiao project. He offended the Shen, Li, and Gu families all at once today. I'm afraid they will soon join forces.]

When LiShuang heard this, she didn't care what LiWanwan was saying.

[In this case, I can only let the "good sister" stick out in my ribs. ]

With a "pa" sound, a crisp slapping sound rang out behind several people.

The people who were talking in front were stunned.

LiShuang retracted her numb hands: [It hurts Tianhe but not Wenhe. ]

Wenhe Shenji turned around, and even the Shen family's attention shifted to LiWanwan.

I saw her covering half of her face, with even a few strands of her carefully groomed hair scattered, her eyes were red, and there was unexpected surprise in her eyes.

After all, Shen Guang had a good relationship with LiZeshou, so he naturally knew which daughter his focus was on, and immediately shifted the focus.

"LiShuang? What are you doing?"

His tone was inexplicably heavier: "Could it be that you are really like what people say, that you are giving up your family for a man you have only known for a few days?"

LiShuang immediately flashed to ShenJi's side, took his arm, and gave Shen Guang a perfunctory smile.

"Uncle Shen is right. I will go and cultivate our relationship now. LiWanwan, please help me coax her. We will take our leave now. Bye."
