Chapter 41: Lust Blinds the Mind
Shen Xiyi felt distressed when he saw his grandmother's eyes almost broken from crying.
"She is in the Liang family. Liang Jinsheng hid her, but told people who knew her that her aunt had escaped." Shen Xiyi couldn't wait to take Shen Simian out of the Liang family.
"The Liang family is breaking the law. What right do they have to lock people up?" Song Qingtang became increasingly agitated.
Shen Xiyi made a silent gesture, signaling her not to be so excited, and she glanced out the window vigilantly.
"I will definitely bring my aunt back, grandma, please stop crying, okay?"
If you cry any more, your eyes will go blind.
"If the Liang family is really a place of trouble, how could you bring your aunt back? You might get yourself into trouble too." Although Song Qingtang felt sad for her daughter, she didn't want her granddaughter to get involved in this mess.
"It's hard to get off the tiger now, grandma, I have no way out." Shen Xiyi's tone was extremely firm.
"But Xiyi..."
Shen Xiyi interrupted Song Qingtang slowly and said, "I have sent the person who put my aunt in prison to hell. Retribution will come soon."
Song Qingtang knew Shen Xiyi's temper best, she always did what she said.
"If Simian could be as flexible and show weakness as you, she wouldn't be easily manipulated."
How could Shen Si Mian not be smart? She just met Liang Jinsheng, who was smarter and more resourceful.
"Grandma, it's not your personality that's wrong. It's the people who inflict the pain that are wrong."
With Shen Xiyi's comfort, Song Qingtang's emotions have gradually stabilized.
Half an hour later, Shen Xiyi went to the kitchen to cook, while Liang Junchen was trapped in the hall by Shen Ye and couldn't leave.
For the first time in his life, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Xiyi went to cook. Mr. Liang, don't worry. Have some tea." Shen Ye's eyes were always on Liang Junchen.
He looks very young, but his personality probably isn't that good. He couldn't sit still for long.
Dinner was simple, with clear soup noodles and cold side dishes, which was a real plain meal.
After dinner, Chen Ye and Song Qingtang did not have much communication with Liang Junchen and went to bed early.
Only Shen Xiyi sat in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon and stars in the sky.
I haven't been home for a long time and I really miss you.
Liang Junchen found a chair and sat next to her. Shen Xiyi tilted his head to look at him: "Is the bed too hard to sleep?"
"I can't sleep without you."
Shen Xiyi curled his lips, looked up and continued to look at the stars without saying a word.
The man couldn't stand the silence. "No wonder you're so quiet. This town really suits your temperament."
"Really?" Shen Xiyi couldn't help but think of her lively and outspoken aunt, who was not quiet at all.
"Do you have anything to say to me?" Liang Junchen continued to ask.
If Shen Xiyi simply went back to her hometown to visit her grandparents, then he might have overestimated her.
"Can we make a deal?"
No one has ever discussed a deal with Liang Junchen so directly. Shen Xiyi put himself on an equal footing with him.
"What do you have worth trading with you?"
Everything about her is under his control. She has no money and no background. Everything she has now is given by him.
What qualifications does she have to negotiate a deal with him?
Shen Xiyi tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "If I give birth to a child, will it be considered a bargaining chip?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly. With such a big bargaining chip, what does she want now?
"What do you want?"
Shen Xiyi supported the man's knee with one hand, stood up, and then sat on the man's lap gracefully.
She gently hooked her arm around the man's neck and looked at him tenderly: "Shen's Porcelain Industry."
Shen's Porcelain Industry is just a name in Nancheng. Shen Congxian has been doing business for so many years under the banner of the former Shen's Kiln, but now this trick no longer works.
If no new reforms are introduced, the collapse of Shen's Ceramics is only a matter of time.
Liang Junchen's big hands pinched her soft waist forcefully: "This is in your home, there are elders at home, is it appropriate for you to be so presumptuous?"
Shen Xiyi had never flirted with her so brazenly before.
And she was doing this now just to make a deal with him.
"Grandpa and grandma are old, they won't hear it."
"The final outcome of Shen's Ceramics will be acquisition by its peers or collapse. It has no future. What do you want to do here?" Liang Junchen saw the rare ambition in her eyes and became interested.
Shen Xiyi leaned close to his ear and said, "I have the Shen family's unique secret. Shen's Porcelain Industry will definitely be the best in the industry."
Her warm and fragrant breath aroused his senses. Liang Junchen felt the restlessness in his body begin to run rampant. He grabbed her wrist with his big hand and pulled her away.
“That’s what Shen Congxian said back then.”
Shen Xiyi lowered his eyes, his emotions unclear as he said, "Since you don't believe me, then just pretend I never said anything."
After saying that, she was about to get off his legs, but Liang Junchen held her waist even tighter.
"I haven't refused yet, so you're unhappy?"
Liang Junchen knew that he had begun to lose his mind due to lust. He liked the pure and innocent Shen Xiyi who let him control her, and he also liked Shen Xiyi who took the initiative to approach and tease him.
Shen Xiyi put her small hand on his shoulder, her posture very low: "I know I am not qualified to discuss a deal with you, but Shen's Porcelain Industry is my grandfather's life's work, and I don't want it to be destroyed in my father's hands."
Now that Shen's Ceramics has encountered financial problems, it is the best opportunity to make a move.
"Wasn't that founded by your father?" Liang Junchen frowned slightly. He didn't know much about this small company.
"At the beginning, it was my grandfather who helped us with money and technology, but my father eventually went astray, so that the reputation of Shen's Porcelain Industry has never been established." Shen Xiyi said this with a tone of regret.
Seeing her analyzing these things so clearly, Liang Junchen's eyes darkened. She was indeed pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. She grew up in the countryside and had never left the town, but she knew everything about the Shen family's business.
The more I understand, the more surprised I am.
"The most urgent thing is to solve my problem, huh?"
"This is not suitable at home. When we go back tomorrow, I will definitely compensate you." Shen Xiyi's smile was gentle, which made it difficult for him to refuse.
Liang Junchen's voice was unusually low and hoarse: "Mrs. Liang, please keep your word."
The next day, when Shen Xiyi got up, he found that Liang Junchen was no longer in the room. His heart tightened, and he quickly got up, dressed, and washed.
Liang Junchen sat alone in the small dining room. The food on the table was still steaming, but he didn't touch it.
"Wake up, time to eat."
Shen Xiyi slowly walked over and sat down: "No need to wait for me, you can eat first, where are grandpa and grandma?"
"I asked someone to send them to South City." Liang Junchen said slowly.
The chopsticks in Shen Xiyi's hand almost fell to the ground, and he subconsciously clenched them: "Why?"
"I heard that grandma's eyesight is not good, so I arranged for a doctor." The man answered as a matter of course, but Shen Xiyi's heart was lifted.
"Grandma's eyes..."
"Why are you so nervous?" Shen Xiyi's unusual emotions did not escape Liang Junchen's eyes.
Shen Xiyi's habitual vigilance made it impossible for her to talk to Liang Junchen properly at the moment.
"Are you still going to threaten me with my grandparents? Am I not well-behaved or obedient enough?" Shen Xiyi looked at him with red eyes, and the emotion in her voice was heavy.
Liang Junchen ignored her emotions and said calmly, "I just made a simple suggestion. It's up to the two elders to decide whether to go or not. Maybe they want to see how you're doing in South City."
Song Qingtang didn't like to go out, but she went to the faraway South City as soon as Liang Junchen mentioned it.
Shen Xiyi certainly understood her grandmother, and she was eager to go to Liangyuan to see if Shen Simian was there.
