Chapter 107: Raising a younger brother to go fishing
Chapter 107: Raising a younger brother to go fishing
"Master A Ling, you're back?"
As soon as Shen Guiling entered the bamboo garden, Lei Xing came to meet him.
The new housekeeper of the Bamboo Garden was personally selected by Shen Zhuang. He is steady and capable, and he has managed the Bamboo Garden in perfect order in just a few days.
It's rare for Shen Guiling to be very satisfied with someone, and Lei Xing can barely be considered one of them.
He nodded and said gently, "Butler Lei, I want to move the plants on the balcony to the yard to get some sun. Could you please come with me?"
"Okay, Master."
Lei Xing is a very disciplined person. He would never enter Shen Guiling's room without his consent. Even if he wants to clean, he will inform Shen Guiling one day in advance. He also never touches private places like desk drawers.
Following Shen Guiling into the bedroom, Lei Xing didn't look around and went straight to the balcony.
Shen Guiling slowly approached the desk, and when Lei Xing passed by holding a green plant, he slowly unzipped his schoolbag.
"Sigh~"
There was a strange noise in the air.
Lei Xing's eyes changed slightly, and without waiting for Shen Guiling to react, he snatched his schoolbag and threw it off the balcony.
"Butler Lei?" Shen Guiling was caught off guard and looked at Lei Xing in confusion.
Lei Xing pointed outside the house with a serious face, "Master, there's a snake."
"Snake?" Shen Guiling was stunned and quickly walked out of the balcony.
On the flat ground in the courtyard, a corner of the schoolbag was opened, and a small spotted snake as thick as a finger crawled out from the gap.
There was not just one snake, but many of them, crawling out from the cracks, and soon the schoolbag was covered with thin snakes.
"Why is there a snake?"
Shen Guiling's eyes were full of disbelief.
Lei Xing's expression was solemn. "It's a red snake. Although its venom isn't very strong, it could be life-threatening for someone with an allergic constitution. Master, do you need me to report this to the old man?"
Shen Guiling's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned to look at Lei Xing, "Can I still choose not to tell?"
Lei Xing lowered his head and said, "Yes, the old man told me to obey Master A Ling in everything after entering the Bamboo Garden."
The contempt in Shen Guiling's eyes dissipated a little, "Listen to me? Even if I ask you to lie to Grandpa, will you listen to me?"
"Yes. The old man said that even if Young Master A Ling wanted to kill his brother and father, there would be no need for me to tip him off. My only mission is to take care of you to the best of my ability."
Shen Guiling was silent for a moment, then turned his head away calmly, "Don't tell Grandpa about what happened today."
"Yes." Lei Xing turned around and continued moving the plants.
Shen Guiling looked up at the moonlight and said, "No need to move, just clean up the things down there."
"Okay, young master." Lei Xing stood up, bent slightly, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Shen Guiling turned around, supported herself on the balcony with her hands, and looked at the circle of light in the room with her chin slightly raised.
In fact, he had known for a long time that someone had put a snake in the schoolbag, and letting Lei Xing enter the house to move the plants was just a deliberate test on him, but he did not expect this result.

On the other side, the chrysanthemum garden.
Jiang Huashan was sitting on the couch in the side hall, thinking. Perhaps because she suddenly understood the timeline of Shen Zhuang's murder, her mind suddenly became excited.
Shu Ling said that the other male protagonist in the world of the play is Shen Guiling. Unlike Shen Lanxi who was born in Rome, Shen Guiling follows the script of a big boss's counterattack.
"Counterattack." Jiang Huashan savored these two words, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
How could she overlook such an important thing?
Before she got engaged to Shen Lanxi, a major incident occurred in the Shen family! Shen Guiling, who had always been favored, had done something wrong. This angered his grandfather, who even cruelly expelled him from the country, not just from the Shen family, but directly from Country A.
She happened to be in Qinyuan when Shen Guiling came to say goodbye that day. The old man's eyes were red from crying but he refused to open the door to look at him. Shen Guiling looked indifferent and kowtowed three times across the gate.
Just as he was about to stand up, the old man closed his eyes and said in a quiet tone, "A Ling, you've grown up now, and Grandpa can't control you anymore. But if you still care about the relationship we've had as grandparents for seven years, just promise Grandpa one thing."
Hearing this, Shen Guiling knelt back down and said, "Please give your instructions, Grandpa."
Jiang Huashan tried hard to recall what happened at that time. What did her grandfather say at that time?
"A Ling, promise Grandpa that you will not enter Country A, let alone return to Lian City, while I am still alive."
What was Shen Guiling’s reaction?
He seemed to just smile and say 'ok'.
She remembered that at that time, her grandfather had treated Shen Guiling very differently, even to the same degree as Shen Lanxi. If Shen Guiling had not suddenly done something wrong, it would still be unknown who would have become the head of the family.
She was in the situation at the time, and when she learned that Shen Guiling was going to be expelled from Country A, she was so happy that she almost fired a salute to celebrate.
Looking at the overall situation now, the timing seems a bit too coincidental.
The year Shen Guiling was expelled from Country A, she was framed by Fang Mei and climbed into Shen Lanxi's bed. In order to calm Shen Lanxi's anger, the old man announced at their engagement party that Shen Lanxi would be the next head of the Shen family.
Directly bypassing the son to choose the grandson, this was a big news that shocked Country A at the time.
So... that year actually saw the simultaneous start of Shen Lanxi's road to Rome and Shen Guiling's road to counterattack?
Because the male protagonists have grown up, the previous stepping stones should be cleared away. If grandpa doesn't die, Shen Lanxi can't take power, and Shen Guiling can't return to the country?
Is this the disgusting cannon fodder law again?!
Jiang Huashan narrowed her eyes slightly, and her pink fingertips tapped the table intermittently.
In her previous life, she was immersed in her own role. Although she knew the direction of development of things, she understood it from her own perspective. It would be great if there was a way to get more plot from a God's perspective.
"Om - hum -"
At this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly vibrated.
Jiang Huashan glanced at him, and a dark thought flashed across his eyes.
【Brother Langgao: I took the bait.】
Jiang Huashan opened the Bubble App, and Brother Lang Gao immediately sent her another 59-second video.
In the video, a group of male models with eight-pack abs are standing on sofas and marble tables and dancing sexy dances, while rich women below are cheering and throwing money around, and men and women are dancing wildly and entangled with each other.
The video was obviously shot secretly, and the camera was shaking, but Jiang Huashan still recognized Fang Mei at a glance.
She danced very vigorously, with a smile on her face. From time to time, she winked at the camera and made provocative gestures.
"..."
Jiang Huashan turned off the video and quickly sent a message.
"Cheer her up." After saying that, he directly transferred 100,000 yuan to the other party.
In her previous life, Fang Mei kept a male college student. She loved the little wolfdog and spent a lot of money on him. Jiang Huashan had accidentally run into him once and knew the boy's name was Liang Xu.
Ever since Fang Mei last appeared in the hospital, Jiang Huashan had guessed there must be someone behind her. They had different beliefs, and they couldn't be driven away. The last bit of dignity between them, mother and daughter, was about to be lost.
So, she decisively forged a fake identity, and after verifying her capital, she successfully sneaked into the club that Fang Mei often went to. Before Fang Mei even met Liang Xu, she bribed him with money.
None of the tasks given in the play can be completed overnight. She cannot remain passive during this period, so she plans to use Liang Xu to find out who is behind Fang Mei?
But ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. Jiang Huashan felt like her head was about to explode when she looked at the little remaining balance.
In order to gain Liang Xu's trust, she had spent over a million yuan. Unlike the real rich girls like Fu Sui'er and Shen Mianzhi, she had to hand over her monthly allowance to Fang Mei, so she didn't have much cash on hand. She had to sell a lot of jewelry and bags to get this money together.
"Hey~"
Jiang Huashan stroked the poor little Jiaojiao thoughtfully, "Raising a male brother is really too expensive. I have to find a way to make some money."
