Chapter 66, Reasons for Dislike
Startled by the loud sound of the door opening, the host and guests rushed to the scene and saw the little girl holding the man's hand and speaking softly.
The man who had always been rampant in the base looked at her with a smile. His peach blossom eyes were so gentle that they seemed to ripple with spring water. There was no trace of his usual indifference.
Guests: "..." Holy crap, is spring here? What's going on with this thick, sour smell of love? Someone like Professor Si should always exude the fragrance of a single person, so what's going on now?
Looking at the dilapidated door of his house, Shen Lang's hand holding the cane trembled. After a while, he uttered, "Professor Si is here, why didn't you arrange for anyone to inform us? Haha, what a neglect."
Glancing at the old man who was trying to force a smile with a gloomy face, Si Xu said indifferently, "Your smile is really ugly."
Chen Lang: “???” Look, look! This is why he doesn’t like Si Xu!
Who was the reason for his ugly smile? It was because he saw this plague god!
"I'm here to take Jiang Ran home." Fortunately, Si Xu didn't continue to comment on Shen Lang's words and actions. He took the little girl's hand, glanced at the people around him, and frowned, "What are you doing here? Are you trying to stop me?"
What a joke! Who dares to stop him? They're just there to watch the fun!
The crowd of people all shook their heads and dispersed in an instant.
Si Xu was satisfied.
He held Jiang Ran's hand, not bothering to look at the old man again, and walked downstairs.
"Professor Si, please stay. I have something to talk to you about."
Who among those who came tonight didn't know that the Shen family and Si Xu were not on good terms? The Shen family had just recognized Jiang Ranran, and Si Xu came to take her away, even using the rude method of directly smashing the door.
If we let these two go tonight, wouldn't the Shen family lose all face?
As an elder, especially Jiang Ranran's elder, Chen Lang personally tried to persuade her to stay. He thought Si Xu would consider it for Jiang Ranran's sake.
Unexpectedly, Si Xu didn't even turn his head and said bluntly: "I have nothing to talk about with you."
Chen Lang choked and almost crushed the jade bead on the top of the cane: This bastard!
Seeing Chen Lang's face turn pale and blue, Jiang Ran's anger at the old man's scheme against her was relieved. She lowered her head and smiled secretly.
Chen Lang, who always pays attention to his image in front of outsiders, would feel the most embarrassed when he meets someone like Si Xu who is used to doing whatever he wants.
Jiang Ran was complaining when she saw Shen Yang pushing through the crowd at the stairs. He showed a surprised expression when he saw the two of them.
"Professor Si, Ranran?"
The young man smiled harmlessly and greeted Si Xu, "Professor Si, are you here to pick up Ranran? I'm really sorry to bother you."
As soon as Shen Yang opened his mouth, Jiang Ran knew that this man was very different from the silly cousin in the original owner's memory - Jiang Ranran's memory of his brother was really one-sided. She was afraid that if he was sold out by this smiling tiger in the future, he would still happily count money for him.
This person resolved Shen Lang's embarrassment with just one sentence. While being extremely polite, he also quietly pushed Si Xu into an embarrassing situation.
Jiang Ranran is the daughter of the Shen family. Si Xu smashed the door and took her away so blatantly, without giving any face to the other parents at all - if it wasn't the end of the world, he would definitely be beaten up by a group of people for this action.
Not noticing the trap in Shen Yang's words, or even if he noticed it, he didn't take it to heart. Si Xu stared at the man's face and sneered: "If you take another step forward, I will kill you."
Shen Yang's smile froze, and he silently retracted his foot.
Seeing Shen Yang's timid look, Jiang Ran twitched the corner of his mouth and imitated Shen Yang's tone to say goodbye to Shen Lang: "Grandpa, Si Xu and I are going back. Thank you for the welcome party you specially held for me."
The girl smiled sweetly and spoke in a clear voice. Shen Lang's heart skipped a beat when he heard her continue, "By the way, Grandpa, I just found out that the man who broke into my room and tried to molest me was one of your men. I think that kind of person is too untrustworthy. It's better for you to stay away from him."
The onlookers were all shrewd people. After hearing what Jiang Ran said, those who were interested immediately wanted to know the ins and outs of everything that happened tonight. Their gazes on the old man suddenly changed from sympathy to ambiguous scrutiny.
I didn't expect Jiang Ran to talk about this kind of thing in public. Shen Lang couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted.
It's a pity that I didn't faint. Jiang Ran sighed regretfully and turned to Shen Yang.
The man immediately rubbed his hands together, ready to fight. "Someone is bullying my cousin? Don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson and give my cousin some vengeance."
Jiang Ran smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, cousin."
Shen Yang smiled: "You're welcome, little cousin."
The two looked at each other, Jiang Ran looked away expressionlessly, and Shen Yang's smile deepened, as if he was thinking about something.
"Come here." Si Xu was disgusted by the man's smiling expression. He flexed his wrist, condensed a space blade from his fingertips, and threatened bluntly, "I'm going to dig out your eyes."
Shen Yang: “???” What grudge? Why did this guy pick on me? He was either going to kill me or gouge my eyes out. What on earth did my cousin like about such a violent guy?!
Si Xu was in a bad mood. There were no zombies in the base for him to practice his sword skills. He could only settle for the next best thing and transfer his anger to Shen Yang: "Do you hear me? Come here."
If you ask me to go over, I'll go over. I'm not stupid! Shen Yang was flexible and said with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to do something. I'll be back soon. Don't wait for me." He slipped into the crowd as if greased, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Si Xu: “…” He threw out the space blade with an expressionless face.
After a loud "crash", the gorgeous crystal chandelier in the living room fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
In the darkness, screams were heard everywhere.
"Next time you find someone to bully her," the young man's cold voice reached the old man's ears, "I will kill you directly."
The housekeeper and the servant came in holding candles and lit up the dark living room. The young man and woman on the stairs had disappeared. The old man held the railing with one hand, and cold sweat wet his gray hair and beard.
…
Even far away from the Shen family, you can still hear exclamations coming from the villa.
Jiang Ran glanced back and muttered, "Those people, it's obvious they haven't truly experienced the horror of the apocalypse. They're making such a fuss over such a small matter. When they get outside, they'll just be feeding zombies."
Si Xu agreed: "Yeah, throw them out to feed the zombies."
Well, I was just saying that those people were useless, not throwing them out to feed the zombies. Amused by his serious and dismissive tone, Jiang Ran fiddled with his bony fingers, wrapped them around hers, and intertwined their fingers.
"Si Xu."
"Um?"
Jiang Ran thought for a moment: "Why do you hate Shen Yang so much?"
