Before long, the boy returned.
"The second young master is not home right now. The old master asked me to bring someone to see him."
The boy walked up to the head bodyguard and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing, the head of the bodyguards, nodded slightly, looked at Jiu Fangyun, and said coldly, "My old man wants to see you!"
"Grandpa Shen wants to see me?"
Jiu Fangyun frowned; he wanted to see Shen Nanxing.
However, since Old Master Shen wants to see him, there's no harm in going. Perhaps Shen Nanxing is with Old Master Shen.
"Please lead the way!" Jiu Fangyun said very politely.
Lu Changqing gestured for him to follow the boy, and the two people behind him immediately followed.
"Stop!" Lu Changqing stopped them. "My father wants to see him. You wait here!"
How could the two of them feel at ease letting Jiu Fangyun enter the Shen family alone? Just as they were about to argue, Jiu Fangyun turned around and shook his head at them.
"Grandpa Shen has always been an open and honest person, and he would never do anything to take advantage of others in distress, so you don't need to worry."
After saying that, he followed the boy into the Shen family's house.
The two men had no choice but to stand quietly five meters away from the back door of the Shen family's house and wait. One of them was holding a small round bead that looked like a signal flare in his hand.
Lu Changqing noticed what was in his hand, but just smiled dismissively.
Then he returned to his original position and continued to guard it with a vigilant expression.
"Brother Lu, we've come to relieve you on shift!"
Before long, another group of people came out of the gate. The young man in the lead, Shen Zheng, smiled and said to Lu Changqing.
"Um."
Lu Changqing responded and then told Shen Zheng about what had happened earlier.
"I see."
Shen Zheng glanced at the Jiu Fang family members, his expression momentarily serious before relaxing. He patted Lu Changqing on the shoulder and resumed his smiling demeanor.
Seeing that he understood, Lu Changqing led his team away.
He smelled fried fish on Shen Zheng, so it seemed they had fried fish for their midnight snack tonight!
Fried fish, he hadn't had it in ages!
Nowadays, only the Shen family is willing to give their bodyguards such rare treats, which are consumed in small quantities.
Lu Changqing smiled slightly and quickened his pace toward his residence.
......
"Grandpa, the person has arrived."
Just as Old Master Shen was muttering about how Shen Nanxing had deceived his feelings, the bodyguard guarding the entrance to the hall interrupted him.
"cough!"
An awkward expression flashed across Old Master Shen's face. He coughed lightly and said, "Please let them in!"
The bodyguard outside the door, having received confirmation, looked serious and gestured for Jiu Fangyun to enter.
Upon seeing this, Jiu Fangyun secretly took a breath, a perfect smile appeared on his face, and strode into the door.
Grandpa Shen sat in the main seat, flipping through a book in his hand.
"Grandpa Chen!"
Jiu Fangyun looked at Old Master Shen with a respectful attitude.
Only when he heard his voice did Old Master Shen put the book down on the small table beside him and look up to examine Jiu Fangyun carefully.
"I heard you claim to be the young master of the Jiufang family, but I've never seen you before."
At this moment, Old Master Shen's eyes were glazed over, completely lacking his usual shrewdness and wisdom.
Jiu Fangyun silently rolled her eyes in her mind.
He didn't believe that Old Master Shen really didn't know about his existence, but he could only go along with what Old Master Shen was saying.
"Grandpa Shen, my mother is the daughter of the Jiu Fang family, and my biological father..."
Jiu Fangyun paused for a moment before continuing, "They are from the Bi family."
But Old Master Shen's bewildered eyes suddenly cleared and sharpened, and he slammed his hand heavily on the small table beside him.
"What did you say?"
His furious voice echoed in the hall, "What a family, the Jiu Fang family! That old man Jiu Fang has some nerve!"
"What audacity!"
Before Old Master Shen could continue his outburst, Shen Nanxing's voice came from outside the door.
The next second, Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an walked in side by side.
Hmm? Jiu Fangyun?
The two paused slightly in their steps.
Has the Jiu Fang family made a decision?
Have you decided to abandon darkness and embrace the light, heading towards a bright future?
The two looked at Jiu Fangyun, their hearts filled with doubt, but their faces remained calm.
Old Master Shen pointed to a seat to the side, gesturing for the two to sit, and asked with a dark face, "Do you know who he is?"
Jiang Nian'an was the first to shake her head.
On the surface, this was their first time meeting Jiu Fangyun, so of course they didn't recognize him.
"He's never caught my eye all these years, so he must not be an important person..."
Shen Nanxing pulled Jiang Nian'an to sit down on the sofa next to him, looked up at Jiu Fangyun, and said with a half-smile, "Since you've angered Grandpa, then let's deal with it!"
A thick silver electric snake was coiled around his hand, its tongue flicking constantly. His cold eyes were fixed on Jiu Fangyun, ready to pounce and bite off his neck at any moment.
Jiu Fangyun: "..."
He could no longer let the grandfather and grandson continue their charade.
If this continues, he'll probably be pushed to the ground by them, and he'll be so guilty that he won't be able to negotiate with them.
After all, the six families in Beijing are ostensibly one entity, and the one they hate the most is the Bi family.
Because of his existence, the Jiu Fang family became entangled with the Bi family, that quagmire.
"Grandpa Shen, Second Young Master Shen, you don't need to test me with your words anymore."
Jiu Fangyun exhaled a breath of stale air, ignoring the reactions of the three people in front of him, and sat down on the other sofa.
"I know you've long been aware of my presence, and you don't care whether the Jiufang family has betrayed you or not, so I won't beat around the bush or try to play the sentimental card with you—"
