Chapter 591 Crazy Fear
Li Jingshen had been here in his previous life, although only rarely, but he remembered the way as soon as he entered. It takes at least fifteen minutes to walk to the Shen family's house. In the middle, you will see a horse farm, a golf course, a park, and a small playground designed specifically for children.
Li Jingshen was not interested in these, he just wanted to see Shen Zhichu as soon as possible.
He was lucky enough to hear a child yelling as he passed by the play area.
“Shen Xiuli!”
Li Jingshen suddenly stopped and turned his head to look over. Wasn't the person squatting on the ground playing with the water gun Shen Zhichu's loser brother Shen Xiuli?
The young Shen Xiuli looked like a glutinous rice dumpling and was a little chubby boy. Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen were good-looking people. They gave birth to a beautiful girl like Shen Zhichu in Rongcheng, so as Shen Zhichu's brother, his foundation was not bad either.
Chen Xiuli was holding a water gun and boasting to a group of kids: "Your Ultraman is nothing compared to me. My dad bought me a two-meter-tall action figure. I can't take it out with me, otherwise I would definitely show it to you. It's so tall and so majestic." As he spoke, he gestured with a smug look on his face.
Among this group of people, Chen Xiuli's family background ranks among the top. He is rich and powerful. The children who play with him dare not offend him. They all agree with whatever he says and gather around him to flatter him.
Shen Xiuli enjoyed this treatment very much and raised his chin proudly.
"I don't believe it." At this time, a negative voice came from not far away. Shen Xiuli frowned and turned his head to look over unhappily.
Judging from the height, he was about the same as him. He was a strange child, one he had never seen before.
"Who are you?"
Shen Xiuli was stupid when he grew up and he was stupid when he was a child. Li Jingshen wanted to use him to enter the Shen family and dig out some information about Shen Zhichu from him.
“You don’t know me, but I know you. You are Shen Xiuli and your father is Shen Changnan.”
Shen Xiuli said: "Since you know me, why don't you believe it? My family is very rich."
Li Jingshen pretended to be sarcastic and said, "I just don't believe it. I can tell at a glance that you're bragging, unless you take me to see it in person."
Shen Xiuli's competitive spirit was aroused, and his "little brother" beside him naturally stood up to speak for him: "Shen Xiuli's family is very rich, with a big house. They must have a two-meter Ultraman. I've even seen Transformers in his house before."
"Then I said I've seen a real Ultraman. He could crush you to death if he fell from a ten-meter height."
Shen Xiuli pointed at Li Jingshen and said, "If you don't believe me, then come with me. I'll show you my house. Only you can come here alone. No one else is allowed to follow me!"
Li Jingshen raised the corners of his lips and followed Shen Xiuli, listening to him cursing all the way.
Li Jingshen followed him and looked around.
"How do you know my father's name?" Shen Xiuli asked.
"Because my family and yours have business dealings, we know each other."
Shen Xiuli frowned: "Then why haven't I seen you before? What's your name?"
"Li Jingshen."
"Oh." After Chen Xiuli calmed down, he gradually realized that something was wrong. The child in front of him seemed to be the same age as him, but the tone of his voice and the expression on his face were the same as his grandfather's. Could this be called maturity at a young age?
Also, why aren't his parents by his side and let him wander around outside alone?
One of the Shen family's teachings is not to enter other people's homes at will, but this person just went back with him like that.
He also said that he had a business partnership with his family, so why had he never seen him? Nor had he heard of the Li family?
"You say I'm bragging, but I think you're the one bragging."
Shen Xiuli kept chattering all the way, and when he reacted, he had already brought Li Jingshen to the doorstep.
The servant who was trimming branches in the yard saw Shen Xiuli coming back and hurried over: "Master, you're back... Who is this?"
Shen Xiuli nodded and pointed at Li Jingshen next to him: “It’s a new friend I met. He will go back after playing for a while.”
He introduced it this way, but Li Jingshen didn't even look at him. He didn't know where his attention was focused, he just stared inside.
"Then I'll go call the lady."
The maid turned and went in after she finished speaking. She was not the only maid in the house. When she saw Shen Xiuli coming back with a child of the same age, she went to prepare cakes.
Chen Xiuli said: "I will show you my collection of figurines later. You must be careful. You can't afford to pay for it if you break it..."
Shen Xiuli took two steps forward, and when he realized that Li Jingshen hadn't caught up, he stopped abruptly: "Come on, why are you standing there?"
Li Jingshen's eyes were dull, and a sense of fear seemed to turn into a dark cloud that weighed heavily on his head. The air around him became thinner, and his throat felt like someone was pinching it hard, making it difficult for him to breathe.
His mind was full of what the servant had just said and the person he mentioned.
"lady."
Old Mrs. Shen passed away a long time ago, so the "Madam" the servants were talking about couldn't be her. Shen Changnan's wife died of complications during childbirth when giving birth to Shen Zhichu, and Shen Changnan never married in his life, so who was this "Madam"?
He felt as if he had lost consciousness. The fear in his heart kept climbing up to his nerves, making them tense like a string. Suddenly, a voice came from his ears, frantically reminding him to leave this place quickly...
