Seeing that Chen Guiwu didn't say anything to them, Shen Qinghuan and Shen Junsheng picked up their chopsticks and picked up the lotus seeds in the bowl and started eating.
After just the first bite, their slightly similar faces paused at the same time, and they felt like their taste buds were exploding!
Shen Junsheng: “?!” This is what Shen Guiwu meant by clearing away heat and detoxifying!
Shen Qinghuan: “?!” It turns out that my stepmother is not only not good at reading and writing, but also has no talent for cooking.
Both of them subconsciously looked up in the direction of Chen Guiwu, and sure enough.
He drank a sip of tea with an indifferent expression, and then his warm pupils under the silver retro glasses glanced at the two of them coldly, as if to say.
If you like to fight for this, eat more.
But at this moment, Sheng Wu said something shyly and happily.
"Since you all like it so much, I can make more in the future." Her beautiful eyes were slightly lowered with a sinister sneer.
Not everyone can eat the dishes she cooks.
“…”
For a moment, Shen Qinghuan and Shen Junsheng were neither able to swallow nor spit out, especially when they saw the many fried lotus seeds that they had just fought over. They felt that they had been tricked by Chen Guiwu. No wonder he didn't speak just now.
Both of them secretly glared at their father.
"Awu, try this."
"Okay." Sheng Wu's eyebrows curved gently.
Chen Guiwu gave Sheng Wu a piece of food with a forced smile, then glanced back at the two of them, his eyes somewhat gloating.
After the meal, everyone became much quieter.
Chen Guiwu didn't even say hello. After Sheng Wu finished eating, he directly pulled her away.
Shen Junsheng quickly picked up a pot of tea and poured it directly into his mouth, which dispelled some of the strange taste on his tongue. Then he was about to get up and follow.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
But Shen Qinghuan suddenly called him.
Seeing this, Shen Junsheng frowned and said, "We can talk about it later if there is anything."
"But what if it's about her?" Shen Qinghuan said coldly.
Hearing this, Shen Junsheng's eyes turned cold. He turned his head to glance at her, narrowed his sinister pupils, and pondered for a moment.
Then he stood up and said, "Follow me."
Shen Qinghuan stood up and followed.
"Hey, why are you all leaving? Wait for me to finish eating the chicken leg!" Chen Zheliu, who was left behind, suddenly felt that the chicken leg in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
But the two of them ignored him.
......
Although Shen Junsheng has not returned to the Shen residence for a long time, he also has his own courtyard.
Shen Qinghuan was in the east wing, and his was in the west wing.
In Shen Junsheng's study.
The two figures had different auras under the candlelight at night. One was awe-inspiring and oppressive, with a murderous temperament of a soldier, while the other was cold and aloof, with a neutral heroic and cold air.
Shen Junsheng raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qinghuan coldly, "What do you want to say?"
Shen Qinghuan narrowed her brown eyes and spoke in a concentrated tone.
"She's already our stepmother, what else do you want to do?"
It was obvious who she was. When Shen Junsheng heard her ask this question, and considering that Shen Qinghuan was apparently competing with him for the plate of lotus seeds tonight, but in fact it was to prevent Sheng Wu from being in too embarrassing a situation, he frowned.
"What I do seems to have nothing to do with you."
Shen Qinghuan was cold and his brows sank, with a heroic look that was somewhat similar to Shen Junsheng.
"Why doesn't it matter? I'm also a member of the Shen family. I can't let the Shen family cause a scandal of a father and son fighting over a daughter!" After a pause, Shen Qinghuan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and continued.
"You can't see that stepmother likes father. Don't impose your own ideas on others. If you really love that woman, how could you use someone else as her substitute? This is a humiliation to her!"
Shen Qinghuan's face was tense and cold, and she looked at him with a hint of anger in her eyes.
Hearing her words, Shen Junsheng, who was sitting behind the desk, gripped the handle of the chair tightly with his hands. His wheat-colored, wild and cold face was tense. He suddenly raised his cold eyes, and his pupils, which were filled with a murderous and sinister look, suddenly shrank.
The low, magnetic voice was unwilling, "How do you know she won't like me! I was the one who knew her first. It was my father who used all means to force her away. He deliberately alienated us and took her away from me!"
Shen Junsheng's voice was filled with extremely unstable tremors and questioning, his eyes were scarlet, and he was extremely unwilling and paranoid. The man's chest was trembling due to the violent emotional fluctuations.
After a moment of hesitation, veins bulged on Shen Junsheng's neck and he lowered his eyes.
"Now I finally see someone who looks just like her, why would you ask me to give up?"
The man was over 1.9 meters tall and looked very tall even when he was sitting. Especially his rough and wild appearance made him look particularly oppressive. An ordinary person probably wouldn't even dare to look him in the eye.
But when Shen Qinghuan heard his words, she only felt irony.
His voice rose a little, his face cold, "So, in order to make up for the regrets of the past, you are willing to drag Sheng Wu into this! Let her be caught between you and your father and become the cursed beauty who brings disaster, right?"
For the first time, she looked at her elder brother, whom she used to respect, with an expression that was almost disappointment and disgust.
At the family dinner tonight, he recklessly snatched away the fried lotus seeds that Sheng Wu had explained were made for his father. Regardless of whether his father knew what he had done to his stepmother, he was putting Sheng Wu in a very difficult position by doing this!
That's why she also grabbed the lotus seeds and turned the matter into a family joke.
Regardless of what Big Brother was going to do, if Father really had a grudge against Sheng Wu because of this, how would she cope in the Shen residence in the future? She was a married woman, yet she was entangled by her stepson. If word got out, everyone would think it was her fault!
"No!"
Hearing this, Shen Junsheng's breathing trembled. He clenched his fists tightly, endured and calmed down, and his textured and magnetic voice became hoarse.
Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with fear and desolation from certain memories. "I won't drag her down with this. I'll give her a chance to choose. Even my father...can't force her!"
Now he is strong enough to fight against his father.
"Okay, that's what you said!"
Listening to his words, Shen Qinghuan felt mixed emotions and swallowed hard. She didn't know what had happened that year, but she could vaguely hear some clues.
In the end, she had nothing left to say. She just said something with a solemn and cold expression on her face and her brown pupils becoming a little darker.
"If she doesn't want to, then you can't do anything. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do!" Even though he is her elder brother.
Hearing this, Shen Junsheng raised his eyes and stared at her with a sharp and oppressive gaze, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought that she had developed friendship with Sheng Wu these days.
He took a deep breath and finally agreed.
"......good."
Seeing this, Shen Qinghuan relaxed his brows temporarily.
Only then did he feel relieved and turned to leave.
......
