Chapter 18
That night, what happened at the He family's 100-day banquet spread throughout the wealthy circles of Hong Kong. The marriage between the Shen and He families was broken, the Shen family's most favored illegitimate son was back, and Hong Kong was about to be in chaos.
Some people have even started placing bets on when the brothers' fight in Chenyuan will break out and who will be the final winner.
When Lin Ran returned to Chen Garden, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Shen Zhongqi was abroad, so he called Shen Yuan directly and got very angry.
Shen Jinghan stood in the small garden, his figure straight and tall, listening to Shen Zhongqi's curses in silence.
The housekeeper and others dared not breathe a word.
The entire Chen Garden was quiet and depressing.
Lin Ran looked at his back and felt a little sorry for him.
A young man whose father didn't love him, whose mother died young, and whose father's love was taken away by his half-brother. He was cold and noble, and had an innate loneliness. She was deeply attracted to him and wanted to do her best to warm him.
Later, she hit her head and it was bleeding.
Shen Jinghan didn’t need it, at least not her.
The love for which she gave everything was just a stain in Shen Jinghan's life that he tried to erase.
"Is Big Brother really that good-looking? You look at him without blinking." Shen Zhuoyu waved in front of her, his handsome and lazy face swaying towards her, "Where do you live? I'll stay next door to you tonight."
Lin Ran pointed to the storage room in the side hall connected to the servants' quarters: "That one."
The smile in Shen Zhuoyu's eyes disappeared, and he squinted his eyes and said, "You really have no creativity. Butler."
The housekeeper came out quickly and said, "Second Young Master."
"Move Xiaowu to the room next to mine."
The housekeeper looked embarrassed and didn't dare to agree.
Shen Zhuoyu raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Wu, you live in my room."
Lin Ran shook her head slightly. Why bother causing unrest in Chen Garden? It would not benefit them at all if Shen Jinghan was angered.
She was fine living in that storage room, there was no need to move.
She doesn't want to change either.
That storage room constantly reminded her that she was as lowly as a blade of grass, so she could always stay sober and not make the same mistake again.
She no longer has another seven years to heal the wounds of her youth.
If it happens again, she will definitely die.
Shen Zhuoyu frowned: "Uncle Lin, then I will live in the servant's room next to the storage room."
The housekeeper was almost going crazy: "Second Young Master, if you live there, I have to go back to my hometown."
Lin Ran said softly, "Second brother, stop making trouble."
Seeing that her attention was finally attracted by him, Shen Zhuoyu raised his peach blossom eyes: "Okay, okay, I won't make trouble anymore. I will listen to my sister."
The tone was very intimate.
It’s great that his Xiaowu is finally back.
While the two were talking, Shen Jinghan had already hung up the phone and walked in with a cold face. The air pressure in the side hall dropped sharply in an instant.
Shen Zhuoyu smiled and said, “Xiaowu, go back to your room first, I’ll come find you later.”
Lin Ran didn't want to get involved between the two brothers, so she nodded and went back to her room.
She closed the door, and the world suddenly became quiet.
Until midnight, Shen Jinghan did not look for her again.
Lin Ran's tense heartstrings slowly relaxed. It seemed that Chen Jinghan had no time to bother her in the past two days.
She turned off the lights and was about to go to bed when an anonymous call came in from abroad.
Her expression changed and she quickly answered: "Hello?"
The other end of the phone was full of electricity and noise. The other party used a voice changer, and his voice was low and strange: "Ms. Lin, have you got Shen Jinghan's personal seal?"
