Chapter 379 A substitute is fine, so why can't it be him! ?

After Lian Mubai came out of Madam Shen's room, he walked to the deck angrily, looking at the icebergs floating on the sea and the whales swimming nearby from time to time.

He felt a sense of discomfort in his chest, and it was suffocating and uncomfortable.

Especially when he saw the speechless and indifferent expression on Madam Shen's face just now, Lian Mubai felt as if his breath was stuck in his throat.

Fortunately, he was out now, feeling the cool sea breeze, which finally made him feel better.

"Boss, the old lady still doesn't want to eat."

Behind him, the man pushing the food cart looked embarrassed.

Lian Mubai turned around and stared at the untouched food on the dining cart. His expression, which had just relaxed a little, became gloomy again.

He walked over angrily and snatched the dining cart from his men, gritting his teeth and saying, "Does this woman want to starve herself to death?"

As he said this, he pushed the dining cart back to Old Madam Shen's room.

Inside the room, Madam Shen really had no appetite, but she didn't want to starve herself to death. She just ate some food to maintain her energy.

After sending her subordinates away, she stood up and sat on the chair in front of the window, holding a piece of casually torn white paper in her hand, and then she drew on the paper with the pen in her hand.

Lian Mubai saw this scene when he came in.

It is said that beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Even though Madam Shen is already seventy years old, she still has a graceful demeanor.

When she was young, she was also a celebrity in the upper class circles of Beijing, with a good family background, good looks and abilities.

At that time, the wealthy young men in Beijing were all privately speculating who would become her other half.

I thought the Shen family would find a family of equal status for her.

Even many wealthy families who wanted to use the Shen family's influence to move up a level had expressed their intentions to Madam Shen openly or secretly.

In the end, the woman pursued by countless young men married her stepmother's son!

This incident caused a huge uproar in the entire capital city at that time.

It was not for any other reason, but because the words "stepbrother" and "stepsister" always carried a sense of taboo in the society at that time.

These were obtained by Lian Mubai after he found out that Old Madam Shen was the person from that year and he sent people to investigate.

He looked at the person in front of the window, and the smile on his face became more sarcastic.

"You're not going to go on a food strike with me again, are you?" Lian Mubai walked in pushing a food cart and said in a slightly cold tone.

Old Madam Shen looked up at him and sighed speechlessly: "I just have no appetite."

"Do you think I believe you? You were the best eater in the whole capital back then." Lian Mubai said as he came to the window, put the food on the table, and pushed it directly in front of Old Madam Shen.

"I'm warning you, you're a hostage, and I'm going to use you to threaten Meng Zhiyi. Either you eat well, or you die of hunger. I'll hold your corpse to hate Meng Zhiyi."

Old Madam Shen: “…”

no.

Is this person sick?

Don’t understand what people say?

I can’t fucking eat anymore!

But Lian Mubai didn't understand at all and still stared at Madam Shen stubbornly.

Just one thought.

That is to let her eat!

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Lian Mubai was getting a little impatient and said, "If threatening Meng Zhiyi is not enough, then is your broken system enough?"

"You don't want him to be in agony when he sees your corpse, do you?"

Old Madam Shen was annoyed by him and lost her patience. She threw down the paper and pen in her hands and started eating with gritted teeth.

Seeing her start to eat, Lian Mubai felt unhappy, but rather annoyed.

Sure enough, what this woman cares about most is the system.

As soon as I heard him threatening the system, I ate it obediently!

So annoying!

"Oh, now you act like you care so much, but didn't you still marry someone else? And you kept him by your side as a housekeeper. You really know how to have fun. He watched you marry someone else, and he didn't react at all?"

Madam Shen paused for a moment while picking up the food, then said nonchalantly, "You know this again?"

Lian Mubai: "Isn't it? The fact that you married that useless stepbrother was well-known in the capital back then."

Everyone knows that Madam Shen's stepbrother is a complete waste.

Relying on the fact that his mother married into a wealthy family, he felt that he had become a superior person and always acted pretentiously by using the name of the Shen family when he was outside.

Few people know that Shen Chong's original name was Wang Chong, which was the surname his mother changed after she married into the Shen family.

Lian Mubai didn't understand, why would she marry such a waste?

Moreover, she gave birth to a child!

"It seems that you don't have a good feeling towards that system. Then why didn't you accept me as his replacement?"

Old Madam Shen ate just two bites and couldn't eat any more.

She put down her chopsticks, slowly pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said coldly: "How can you be sure that I am marrying that piece of trash and not the one I love?"

Everyone thought that Madam Shen was marrying Shen Chong, but no one knew that this was actually a trap set by Madam Shen.

From the moment Shen Chong followed his stepmother into the Shen family, Old Madam Shen had already started making plans.

As a time traveler who had experienced household struggles and palace struggles in ancient times, Old Madam Shen had long understood the little thoughts of this mother and son.

The appearance of these two people was exactly what Old Madam Shen wanted.

"What do you mean?" Lian Mubai's expression became serious when he heard this.

Old Madam Shen stared at him, her weathered yet still bright eyes without a trace of emotion.

"You have already found that illegitimate son who had plastic surgery to hate me. Have you ever doubted that if he was really Shen Chong's son, why would he have plastic surgery?"

Lian Mubai frowned, not being able to react for a moment, and felt like he needed to grow a brain.

Indeed, he had brought the illegitimate child here, but his purpose was not to dislike Old Madam Shen! He didn't know at that time that she was his old acquaintance.

But at that time, he used Song Wei and the illegitimate child to try to tear a piece of meat from the Shen family.

Even if he is lucky enough and the illegitimate child is recognized, he will be able to control half of the Shen family.

But the fact is that not everyone has good luck.

However, Old Madam Shen didn't know that ever since Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi were in the explosion, she had been secretly watching Lian Mubai, and she also thought that the other party already knew of her existence.

She glanced at Lian Mubai, who looked bewildered, and continued, "The moment Shen Chong entered the Shen family, he had already fallen into my trap. It was obvious that they wanted to seize the Shen family's property, so how could I just sit there and wait for them to die?"

Lian Mubai: "So?"

Old Madam Shen: "So he died in the second month after he entered the Shen family."

"???" Lian Mubai felt shocked: "What about Shen Chong behind?"

Madam Shen: "It's fake. I found a substitute and told the stepmother that I would send him abroad to study, and then I secretly had plastic surgery."

Lian Mubai asked with a complicated expression: "Then your son is..."

Could it be the substitute's?

absurd!

If a substitute is fine, then why can't it be him! ?
