At that time, many experts suddenly appeared on TV to host business and finance programs, revealing to the public the business empires of each member of the Shen family's first, second, and third branches. Shen Huai'an was the most frequently mentioned person among those experts.
They were adamant that Shen Erhui, who held absolute power in Jiangcheng, would fall from grace, and some experts even speculated that Shen Huai'an might not be able to hold on for many years.
However, to the surprise of countless people, Shen Huai'an not only did not fall from power, but he is still in the Shen Group.
Even though Shen Huai'an is a cripple, he is still a very capable person.
He was Shen Taimin's only threat. Shen Huai'an sighed, slightly disappointed, and said:
"Brother, you saw it just now, right? Xiaoting was about to beat up Xingxing right in front of me. I know I'm a cripple, and you all have a lot of complaints about me at home. I'm over thirty, and I'm able to get married. Xingxing doesn't mind me and is with me. I should fulfill my responsibilities as a lover, make him respected by everyone in the Shen family, and ensure he has at least some safety by my side."
"But Xiaoting keeps calling Xingxing an idiot, and even calls me, her second uncle, a cripple. Brother, I really don't know what to say. As for what the old lady said, let's just let it go."
Upon hearing that the matter was hopeless, Shen Taimin immediately became anxious, "Second brother, let your older brother explain."
Lin Wanxing took Shen Huai'an's hand and looked up at him with bright eyes, saying earnestly, "Second brother, don't be sad, your leg will get better someday."
After everyone had spoken frankly to each other, Shen Huai'an and Lin Wanxing prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Lin Wanxing smiled and waved to Shen Zhiting, saying in a rather natural tone:
"Xiaoting, you need to take good care of yourself and not be so irritable. Your second brother is angry."
Shen Zhiting was truly suffering in silence. This Lin Wanxing was really cunning; with just a few words, he had managed to pin a whole mess on her. She had really fallen for his trick.
Remembering everything that happened in the Yunhai Hall yesterday, Lin Wanxing realized that she had obtained the recording and had also taken possession of the antique painting.
Looking at himself now, unable to speak or move, he realized it was all a trap, and the other man was waiting for him to fall into it.
But it's too late for her to understand now; she can't explain it to herself.
Even if she explained, who would believe her? Who would believe that the usually clever and arrogant Shen Zhiting would be completely fooled by a fool?
Shen Zhiting stared at Lin Wanxing's face with her mouth agape. Looking at that face now, she felt that Lin Wanxing was no longer stupid at all, but even had become a little shrewd.
Lin Wanxing followed slowly behind Shen Huai'an, and he could tell that Shen Huai'an seemed really unhappy.
"Second brother, don't be sad!"
As she spoke, Lin Wanxing smiled and took out a piece of candy from her pocket, handing it to Shen Huai'an. "Xingxing is treating you to candy, a sweet White Rabbit candy. Eating it will make you forget all your troubles."
Shen Huai'an smiled when he saw the soft, white little hand offering him the milk candy.
Perhaps in a child's world, many things can be solved with just a piece of candy.
Shen Huai'an was never upset because others said he was lame; it wasn't worth it.
Because he is a cripple, and others are just stating the facts, why should he be unhappy?
Countless people badmouth him behind his back, but it won't hurt him anyway, and he's not the kind of person to hold grudges, so let them be.
Of course, if he overheard someone talking about his leg, he wouldn't let that person off the hook.
He wasn't sad, he was just really angry.
Shen Zhiting always called Xingxing an idiot, and the word "idiot" is too awful.
This is an insult to the stars and a disrespect to them.
This word doesn't fit Lin Wanxing. Although Shen Huai'an sometimes thinks he's a bit silly and secretly calls him a little fool, Shen Huai'an never considers Lin Wanxing to be a low-IQ fool in the strict sense.
Lin Wanxing tilted her head and smiled innocently: "When Xingxing is sad, Mom will give me White Rabbit milk candy. It's sweet and it helps to make me feel better. Second brother, let me unwrap the candy."
He carefully unwrapped the candy and brought it to Shen Huai'an's lips: "Second brother, have some candy."
Shen Huai'an looked at that delicate face. The young man had a refined appearance and was born with an air of nobility. No matter what he did, he seemed to stand out from the crowd.
Shen Huai'an lowered his head and ate the milk candy, the rich milky flavor filling his mouth.
Even milk couldn't compare to the boy's fair and delicate face. He had seen the boy's entire body, and he truly had porcelain-white skin. When his dark, moist eyes gazed at him, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
His demeanor was different from everyone else's, which is why I noticed him at first glance in that chaotic bar.
He was beautiful and fragile, innocent yet with a touch of naivety, a true one-of-a-kind work of art.
Shen Huai'an really wanted to hide him away, especially since that sweet smile was sweeter than any candy in his mouth.
Shen Huai'an felt that the sugar tasted a bit bland, and he wanted to taste Lin Wanxing's flavor. He was almost unable to control his greed.
That decadent scene flashed through his mind.
The messiness carried a different flavor.
This little silly boy is always so obedient and likes to smile so sweetly. I wonder if he'll be just as obedient in bed, and what he'll be like when he cries.
Lin Wanxing couldn't quite understand the desire hidden in Shen Huai'an's eyes, and he asked with a silly worry, "Second brother, second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Isn't candy delicious?"
Shen Huai'an gave a warm smile, reached out and touched Lin Wanxing's chin, his smile carrying a deeper meaning, and said, "No, it's really sweet."
"This is the first time Second Brother has tried this kind of sweetness. Thank you, Xingxing."
"You gave me candy, so your second brother will give you something in return."
Upon hearing that he wanted to give her something, Lin Wanxing immediately asked curiously, "What is it? Is it something to eat?"
This little fool was only thinking about food, and Shen Huai'an couldn't help but flick his forehead, "Your little head is only filled with food, isn't it?"
"It's not food. Your second brother is giving you a new cell phone. That way, you can tell your second brother immediately if anything happens. You need a cell phone, so it will be more convenient to contact you."
A cell phone is truly a necessity. Lin Wanxing glanced at his watch, which his second brother had bought for him a few days ago.
Having a cell phone is actually quite nice, he said with a smile and thanked Shen Huai'an.
