He pushed the sinking pool outwards, but when it wouldn't go any further, he stopped caring. "Not interested." There's plenty of gossip going on in the capital every day; he's not that free.
"No way," He Enqi said with a grin, as if he was determined to say it even if you told him not to. "San'er, it has something to do with you, actually."
With a sigh of resignation, Chen Juanchi parted his thin lips and uttered a single word, "Speak."
"Something happened at Qingjin High School." He Enqi smiled, "but it's been suppressed for now, and it'll probably be dealt with later." He didn't elaborate.
The mere mention of Qingjin High School was enough to catch Shen Juanchi's attention. His expression turned somewhat serious. "He Wu, explain yourself. What's wrong with Qingjin High School?"
The current principal of Qingjin High School is the third maternal grandmother of the Luo family, and Chen Juanchi's mother is a young master of the Luo family. Naturally, it's related to him.
"Oh dear, San'er's in a hurry, huh?" He Enqi grinned, looking at Shen Bei'an in front of him. "Your uncle's finished buying." He just wouldn't say more.
Shen Bei'an handed the gift box to Shen Juanchi, but before Shen Juanchi could take it, He Enqi took it from him. "Uncle Shen, have you chosen yet? Won't you choose any more?"
This jade belt buckle shop is indeed excellent; the materials they use are top-notch.
Shen Beian shook his head. "The design is good, but the materials are a bit lacking. So I plan to have them design it for me, and I'll provide the materials myself. These are the only two materials that I find acceptable."
"Thank you both for accompanying me shopping, so I'm giving this to you as a gift." He didn't even blink.
He Enqi had been to this shop a few times; it was quite expensive, so it was probably even more expensive than what Master Shen would find appealing.
However, one should not refuse a gift from one's elders.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen."
Shen Bei'an waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright. Since you call me 'Uncle' along with Chi Chi, I am naturally your elder."
He Enqi: ...How should I put it? He's twenty-four this year. Although he and Shen Juanchi were classmates in college, it's all because of Shen Juanchi's abnormal skipping of grades.
He still smiled.
"By the way, what were you two talking about just now?" His dear second nephew seemed a little unhappy.
Before He Enqi could say anything, Chen Juanchi said, "It's nothing, just chatting. I wonder where else Uncle plans to go for a stroll?" He shook his head slightly when he met He Enqi's eyes.
He Enqi pressed the tip of his tongue against his chin, saying that everyone said that Fifth Master Shen was protected too well by the Shen family and the eldest son.
He originally thought it was just talk. After all, in a large family like theirs, the so-called "protecting too well" was just raising a naive and innocent girl for a future marriage alliance.
But it seems that Shen Bei'an is not...
The Shen family, even the Gu family and Fu Mutian, are genuinely protecting Shen Bei'an. It's surprising that such feelings still exist here.
Shen Bei'an used to play with the tassels on the jade pendant whenever he had nothing to do. He had changed them countless times. The tassels were originally inlaid with jewels and gold wire inlays, but Shen Bei'an's way of playing with them had caused many to be lost.
I decided not to bother with those things anymore, but they weren't very comfortable to play with anyway.
So Gu Nanyan made a bracelet out of the medicinal pills and had him wear it.
Now we have something to play with, and it can even save lives in emergencies.
You don't want to talk about it?
Well, Master Shen isn't the type to force others. If he doesn't want to talk, he doesn't have to.
"There should be wine cups and goblets here, right?"
Hu Shang is the name of the Fu family's restaurant. They have several branches in the capital, so it's impossible that they wouldn't have one in this largest shopping mall.
"Of course we have some, it's right ahead. What, Uncle Shen, are you here to buy some wine?" Shen Juanchi doesn't come often, but He Enqi comes quite frequently; he's also quite a connoisseur of wine.
Shen Beian nodded, still fiddling with the medicinal pills in his hand. "Yes, Sister Tian likes them. I remember Sister Tian said that Hu Shang has some new products. I'll go check them out."
He only likes to have a small drink or two, and given his alcohol tolerance, he can handle a little bit.
Drinking even a little too much can be fatal.
Sweet girl?
Oh~
And Fu Jiu, whom he mentioned in a limerick.
It seems there should also be Sheng Liu.
Of the four people mentioned in the limerick, two are from the Beijing F4.
Although they were in the same limerick, only two of the four were close friends; the others were only seen occasionally at banquets and they hardly knew each other.
"Did Uncle also make an appointment with Young Master Fu and others tonight?" Shen Juanchi thought he would go directly to the Gu Group later.
Shen Bei'an nodded as if it were a matter of course. What a joke! He wouldn't dare get close to a wolfhound that had just been introduced to meat.
That's perfect, isn't it? Gu Nanyan said he had something to do tonight, so this is a good opportunity for him to ask his friends.
"Alright, alright, let's go, let's go. You guys can help me try it out, I'm not really that knowledgeable about wine anyway." It's common for young masters from the capital to appreciate wine.
Shen Beian is different; he's alright at tea tasting, but forget about wine tasting.
What does someone who gets drunk after three cups of wine taste like?
"Okay," they both agreed in unison.
With the help of the two, Shen Beian bought four jars of new wine, all with beautiful names—Sangluo, Chang'an, Zhuyu, and Banruo.
They're all newly released wines.
When Chen Juanchi and He Enqi left, each of them carried a pot.
"Alright, you two, do what you need to do. Brother Chen is here to pick me up." A silver Zouwu stopped in front of Shen Beian.
The young man in the driver's seat got out of the car, dressed in a simple light blue plum blossom patterned blouse with arrow sleeves, looking clean and neat.
"Fifth Young Master He, Third Young Master Shen." He raised his hand and gave a simple bow, then took the four jugs of wine from Shen Beian's hands.
"Sixth Young Master Sheng." Shen Juanchi and He Enqi returned the greeting.
"Why did you buy alcohol?" Sheng Jingchen asked, somewhat puzzled. They were going to Nightclub later, and they would definitely need alcohol there.
Shen Beian smiled and said, "Anyway, I just passed by Hushang and went in to take a look. I happened to hear that they had new wine, so I bought four jugs. I can try them tonight."
"Sangluo seems to be a new brew by Sister Tian. She even let me try it a couple of days ago, and it does taste quite good. It's perfect for a leisurely drink." Sheng Jingchen looked up and saw the two familiar words.
"Ah, is that so?" Right, I almost forgot, Hu Shang is a business owned by the Fu family, and Sister Tian can also brew wine, and she's quite good at it.
The two people who just mentioned Sangluo were praising it, and the shop assistant was also strongly recommending it.
"That's perfect. Xiao Yezi and I haven't tried it yet. Looks like I have a good eye." Although he hadn't tasted it, the name sounded nice.
"Oh, by the way, Chichi, do you need me to take you back?" They came together earlier.
He Enqi hugged Shen Juanchi's neck and chuckled, "No need, Uncle Shen, you and Young Master Sheng can go to the banquet. Leave San'er to me. I'll make sure he's delivered to the Gu Group intact!"
"Right, San'er?"
Chen Juanchi was already immune to this title, and nodded to Chen Beian, "Uncle, you and Young Master Sheng go ahead."
"Okay." Shen Bei'an got into the car with Sheng Jingchen without hesitation.
