3 Chapter 3

◎ The True and False Young Master. ◎

Around eight o'clock the next morning, Shen Mu woke up from his sleep.

As soon as he woke up, he noticed something soft in his arms. He lowered his eyes and found that Fu Nonuo had rolled into his arms and fell asleep at some point.

Obviously, the father and son were still at a certain distance from each other before they fell asleep last night.

At this moment, Fu Nonuo was sleeping soundly, snoring with milk and breathing lightly, like a kitten that had not been weaned, making people want to hug and rub him!

Shen Mu felt the little cub in his arms, who felt very good, and after a few seconds, he let him go, then got out of bed quietly. Just

after washing up, Shen Mu received a call from the Shen family.

It was Shen's mother who called.

On the other end of the phone, when Shen's mother spoke to Shen Mu, their tone was distant and awkward. They were obviously mother and son, but they were more distant than strangers.

The reason for this situation was that the original body had experienced a bloody incident of holding the wrong child.

The original body was originally the biological child of the Shen family, but was stolen and taken away by someone with ulterior motives. That person left his own son to enjoy the good life in the Shen family, and then took the original body to the remote mountainous area. It was

not until two years ago that the matter of holding the wrong child was inadvertently revealed, and the original body was able to return to the Shen family to live.

The original body did not live well with his adoptive parents. Not to mention the difficult living conditions, the most important thing was that his adoptive parents felt that he was not their biological child, so they beat and scolded him, and punished him by not allowing him to eat for a day.

The original body was so weak, mostly due to the abuse from his adoptive parents.

Therefore, he was full of expectations for this return to the Shen family, thinking that he would finally be able to get the love of his biological parents. Who knew that when he came back, he would be greeted with all kinds of embarrassing and suffocating scenes.

Although the Shen family knew that they had taken the wrong child, they had raised the other child for 22 years and had already developed a strong family relationship. How could they bear to send the child away?

The original body didn't mind it at first, thinking that it would be okay even if she lived with another boy. Who knew that the Shen family still didn't welcome the original body to go home. Although no one said it, they all thought in their hearts that it would be better if there was no Shen Mu.

In short, the original body became the redundant one in the Shen family.

At this moment, Shen's mother said in an awkward tone: "Xiao Mu, tomorrow is your father's birthday. There will be a birthday party at that time. Will you... come back?"

In fact, in the eyes of the Shen family, it is definitely best for Shen Mu not to go back. After all, once he goes back, there will definitely be some scenes that will make everyone uncomfortable.

However, after hearing this, Shen Mu said casually: "Of course I have to go back. After all, it is my father's birthday."

If he remembers correctly, tomorrow's birthday party is not just a simple banquet, but also some shares of Shen's company will be distributed.

If he doesn't go back, wouldn't it be a benefit to others?

He occupied the body of the original owner, so naturally he had to do something for the original owner. The most important thing is to get the things that belonged to the original owner.

Shen's mother didn't expect Shen Mu to agree so straightforwardly, and was stunned for a moment.

She remembered that her son was extremely introverted and would definitely not attend such a noisy birthday party. Why was he so out of character this time?

However, after being stunned for a few seconds, Shen's mother quickly spoke: "Okay, the three of you brothers should celebrate your father's birthday."

The three brothers refer to Shen Mu, Shen Mu's eldest brother Shen Yufeng, and the adopted son Shen Xi who was mistakenly taken away.

Shen Mu agreed in a neutral tone: "Okay, I see."

The mother and son had no feelings for each other, and they didn't know what topic to talk about when they held the phone.

Shen's mother made an excuse that she had something to do and quickly hung up the phone.

Soon, the birthday party arrived as scheduled.

After all, it was a party, so Shen Mu still dressed up a little.

There is a cloakroom of more than 30 square meters in his bedroom, which is filled with all kinds of the latest clothes of the season. When you open it, you will see a dazzling array of things.

Shen Mu couldn't help but sigh that such a wealthy life is really intoxicating.

If possible, he hopes that his wealthy husband will never go home for the rest of his life. After all, he doesn't have to fulfill any husband's obligations, but he can enjoy all kinds of conveniences. He will wake up with a smile even when he falls asleep, okay?

With a smile on his lips, Shen Mu picked from the rows of clothes and finally chose a white casual suit.

This suit is a custom-made one from a big brand and is particularly slim-fitting.

After Shen Mu changed into the suit, the whole person instantly made people unable to take their eyes off him.

His skin is already very white, and now wearing a white suit, it is so white that it seems to reflect light.

The slim-fitting suit outlines his waistline, showing his slender and supple waist, and below is a pair of long and straight legs.

Shen Mu rarely wears this kind of suit, mostly short-sleeved shirts or sweatshirts. Now, when he suddenly puts on a formal suit, coupled with his somewhat sickly temperament, it inexplicably gives people a sense of contrast.

The banquet was held at the old house of the Shen family.

At around six o'clock in the evening, Shen Mu arrived at the old house.

At this time, the old house was brightly lit and full of joy.

Although the Shen family is not considered a wealthy family in Beijing, it is also a wealthy family, so there is an endless stream of guests coming to congratulate.

Shen Yufeng, the eldest son of the Shen family, was standing at the gate to receive guests.

He was dressed in a black suit, had an extraordinary demeanor, and his hospitality was remarkable, winning praise from those around him.

"The eldest son of the Shen family is really young and promising."

"Yes, he started his own business without the help of his family. At the age of 28, he had his first company. He is a real young talent."

"As for Mrs. Shen's fertility, the eldest son Shen Yufeng is working hard in the business world, and the second son Shen Xi has also become a top star in the entertainment industry. Our children can't compare to them at all." "

But I heard that the Shen family didn't adopt the wrong child? The one named Shen Mu is the biological son of the Shen family."

"Shen Mu? I met him once. He is a dull person. He can't do anything. You can tell at a glance that he has no future. Otherwise, wouldn't the Shen family take him home to live with them?"

"Yes, although Shen Mu is a biological son, he is nothing compared to the adopted son Shen Xi."

"Speaking of which, if Shen Mu doesn't go back to the Shen family, where did he go? I haven't heard any news about him."

"Where else could he go? Who knows if he's curled up in some bridge hole."

"..."

Suddenly, the discussions in the crowd stopped because they saw Shen Mu himself.

Shen Mu didn't know when he arrived, and how long he listened.

He didn't say anything either, but just looked at the people who had just said bad things about him with a smile.

It was this silence that made him look unfathomable, with a strong and calm aura.

Those people were frightened by his stare and left awkwardly.

But before leaving, they were all puzzled. Wasn't it said that Shen Mu was a timid person? Who is this person with such a strong and calm aura?

Another group of people were fascinated by Shen Mu's looks. When Shen Mu walked away, someone screamed.

"Oh my God, who is this handsome guy? Is he the Shen Mu you mentioned?"

"With that look and that figure, I'm good enough!!!"

"Who said that the most handsome person in the Shen family is Shen Xi? It's just a rumor. Shen Xi is really not good enough in front of this person."

"I want his contact information within three minutes!!!"

"..."

When Shen Mu was about to enter the old house, he was stopped by someone.

The person who stopped him was his eldest brother Shen Yufeng.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Shen Yufeng frowned and asked Shen Mu, "What are you doing here?"

Compared to Shen Yufeng's fear, Shen Mu seemed much calmer and replied calmly, "Today is Dad's birthday, so I'm here to attend the birthday party."

Shen Yufeng frowned even tighter, "You'll only be embarrassed if you come, why don't you leave?"

In Shen Yufeng's heart, only Shen Xi was his younger brother.

He originally had no feelings for Shen Mu, but when Shen Mu came back to the Shen family, Shen Xi felt bad for several days, so Shen Yufeng put the blame on Shen Mu.

Shen Mu looked at Shen Yufeng casually: "I don't understand, why am I embarrassed? Why don't you be more specific, big brother?"

Shen Yufeng didn't expect Shen Mu to dare to talk back, and was stunned for a few seconds.

It was at this time that he noticed that his younger brother seemed to be different from before, becoming more calm and dazzling.

However, these were not within Shen Yufeng's consideration. He only knew that Shen Mu's return home would definitely irritate Shen Xi again, and this was something he absolutely did not want to see.

So he gave her an ultimatum: "I tell you, I will only recognize Xiaoxi as my brother forever. As for you, don't have any wild dreams and don't even think about returning to the Shen family."

In his eyes, his brother Shen Xi was innocent and kind, always considerate of others, and a caring little cotton-padded jacket in the family. Even after the incident of wrongly holding the baby was exposed, Shen Xi was still in pain because he couldn't bear to leave his family who he lived with day and night, and even had a high fever for several days.

On the other hand, Shen Mu left the family that raised him without any nostalgia, without any reluctance at all, which was enough to show how hard-hearted he was.

After listening to Shen Yufeng's words, Shen Mu laughed: "Brother, don't be so nervous. I don't intend to destroy the brotherhood between you and Shen Xi. After all, in your eyes, Shen Xi is innocent and kind. You usually protect him like a hen protects her chicks. Who can interfere?"

His words were obviously simple, but inexplicably carried a sense of sarcasm.

Shen Yufeng naturally heard the sarcasm in Shen Mu's words and was about to explode.

At this time, Shen Mu reminded him lightly: "You have to think about it. Today is Dad's birthday party. If we quarrel later, the scene will not be good. I don't mind, but I think it will be difficult for you to report to the boss, right?"

After all, this birthday party was organized by Shen Yufeng, and as a well-known young talent in the circle, he naturally did not want to make any mistakes in such matters.

Being reminded by Shen Mu, Shen Yufeng choked on his anger. He wanted to explode but did not dare to.

He did not expect that one day he would be threatened by the sick Shen Mu.

Shen Mu said so many words in one breath and was very tired. He covered his mouth and coughed twice, then walked into the old house leisurely.

Shen Yufeng: "..."

What a ghost, after not seeing him for a while, how come Shen Mu seemed like a different person?

The old house was very lively at this time. Almost all the guests had arrived. Everyone was toasting and chatting with each other.

Shen Mu didn't need to socialize. He found a seat in the corner, sat comfortably, and then ate the snacks on the tea table.

The banquet lasted for more than three hours. It was not until around nine o'clock in the evening that all the guests were sent away, and then the family sat together.

If it were any other time, it would definitely be a happy scene, but today because of the addition of Shen Mu, the scene became a little awkward.

Shen's mother wore a navy blue cheongsam, her hair was tied up, and she wore a hairpin. She was originally a graceful and elegant woman, but now because of her complicated expression, she seemed to have lost some dignity.

In the silence, she spoke first: "Xiao Mu, I haven't had the chance to ask, how have you been lately?"

Shen Mu sat calmly on the sofa, drinking a glass of juice slowly: "Fine."

Shen Yufeng had been bullied by Shen Mu before, so he didn't like him at all and immediately said: "Can you be more respectful when you talk to mom?"

Shen Mu glanced at Shen Yufeng with a sidelong glance: "Brother, do you know what you are doing now? A mad dog biting people indiscriminately."

Shen Yufeng glared; "You..."

At this time, the head of the family, Shen's father, came out to preside over the situation: "Okay, say less, we are all brothers."

Shen's father has been fighting in the business world for many years and is used to commanding his subordinates, so he also has a kind of majesty when talking to everyone.

Shen Yufeng held his breath and simply turned his head away, no longer looking at Shen Mu. Out of sight, out of mind.

Shen Mu was not affected at all throughout the whole process, still holding his own juice and tasting it slowly.

This juice is grapefruit juice, and no one knows what the chef added in it. It has a little more flavor than ordinary grapefruit juice, so he likes it very much.

At this time, Shen's mother spoke again. She said to Shen Mu with a little caution: "Xiao Mu, there is something I want to ask your opinion."

Shen Mu: "Well, please go ahead."

Shen's mother hesitated and said: "Well, you see, Xiao Xi has lived in our house for more than 20 years, and has a deep relationship with everyone. He...he doesn't have to go back to his own home, right?"

As soon as this was said, even the dignified and majestic Shen's father looked at Shen Mu.

Shen's father and Shen's mother were the same. They were reluctant to part with Shen Xi, the child they raised with their own hands.

At the same time, their feelings for their biological son Shen Mu were also very complicated. They said they didn't care, after all, he was a child with their own blood flowing in his veins. They said they cared, but they had never been together for more than 20 years, and there was really no feeling.

If possible, they hoped that Shen Xi was their biological son, but unfortunately, it didn't go as they wished.

After Shen Mu heard what Shen's mother said, he did not give an answer immediately.

He stroked the cup in his hand, with an expression that was hard to read.

Everyone looked at each other, and the scene became cold.

At this time, Shen Xi, who had not spoken, finally couldn't sit still.

He stood up from the sofa and said dejectedly: "I think I'd better go back."

After saying that, tears appeared in his eyes.

It has to be said that at some times, Shen Xi is really a natural actor. He has a handsome appearance and is good at looking at people with a pair of innocent and simple eyes, which makes people want to protect him sincerely.

What's more, he is crying now.

Shen Yufeng immediately stood up from the sofa, walked to Shen Xi's side in two steps, and coaxed him anxiously; "Don't cry, Xiaoxi, no one will let you go. If anyone dares to let you go, I will definitely make that person pay!"

As he said that, he glared at Shen Mu fiercely.

Shen's father and mother also joined the comforting team and cast disapproving eyes on Shen Mu at the same time, as if Shen Mu had done something extremely heinous.

And Shen Mu just didn't ask Shen Xi to stay in this house at the first time.

In such a chaotic scene, Shen Mu smiled sarcastically.

His laughter was particularly obvious among the comforting voices, so it immediately attracted the attention of the others, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

Shen Mu then said leisurely: "If that's the case, why do you need to ask for my opinion? If I don't agree with Shen Xi living in this house, will you really chase him away?"

After hearing this, Shen's father and mother were a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Shen Mu.

Shen Yufeng didn't care about that and immediately said angrily: "Of course we won't chase Xiaoxi away. Who are you? Who will listen to your opinion?"

Shen's mother quickly pulled Shen Yufeng's sleeve: "Okay, Yufeng, say less."

Shen Yufeng obviously hadn't finished speaking, and scolded Shen Mu a few more words. Anyway, the general idea was that Shen Mu was not as good as Shen Xi by a hair, so he shouldn't flatter himself.

Seeing the family in chaos, Shen Xi, who was always kind and considerate, naturally couldn't sit still. He cried and said, "Okay, everyone stop arguing. This will make me look like a sinner. I voluntarily go home and pack my luggage now!!"

As he said that, he really went upstairs to pack his luggage.

Shen Mu added lightly, "I hope you are really packing your luggage and leaving this time, not just pretending."

When the wrong baby incident just happened, Shen Xi also made a fuss about leaving, but when he ran back to the remote mountain home, he realized the huge gap. How could such a shabby family compare to the magnificent Shen family? So he pulled his suitcase back overnight.

Of course, Shen Xi's excuse at the time was that he couldn't leave his father, Shen mother and his eldest brother, but he must have known the truth in his heart.

Shen Xi's face suddenly became hot after being told by Shen Mu. He didn't know whether to go upstairs or not.

But the next second, he looked at the Shen family with tears in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "It's not that I don't want to leave, I just can't bear to leave my parents and my elder brother."

The three members of the Shen family also looked at Shen Xi with emotion.

Shen Mu; "..."

What a boring eight o'clock drama plot.

But soon Shen Mu was not bored anymore, because Shen Xi suddenly rushed towards him, and then looked at him apologetically: "I know, this is all my fault, I took away your family, but I really can't bear to leave my parents and my elder brother. If you are not satisfied, just hit me!"

Shen Mu looked at Shen Xi as if he was crazy.

But Shen Xi was still saying vigorously: "Don't hold a grudge against other people, it's all my fault, hit me, hit me!!"

The reason why Shen Xi dared to keep saying this was because he knew that according to Shen Mu's temperament, he would definitely not hit anyone, and he might even feel ashamed.

Unfortunately, there is a different person in this body now.

While Shen Xi was chattering, Shen Mu slapped him.

"Pa--"

A loud slapping sound rang out.

The incident happened suddenly, and the living room was suddenly silent.

Shen Xi was stunned and looked at Shen Mu in disbelief.

The others were not much better, and they were all unable to react to such a sudden incident.

In silence, Shen Mu innocently said: "You heard it, he insisted that I hit

him." The implication is that it's not his fault.

The others: "..."

At this time, Shen Mu gently shook the hand that hit him, then frowned slightly, and said in a gloomy tone: "... Oh, my hand hurts."

The others: "???"

What does it mean? You still want to make trouble? ! ! !
