"What's with that slow speed are you all turtles riding on a snail?" Shen Zizhen the protagonist of the story was currently in his house ordering a bunch of servants who were responsible for bringing all kinds of things that young girls around Su Wan's age liked.
He and his wife have prepared a long list of all the things that could be given to a young girl like Su Wan. They worked so hard all night because they wanted to leave the first thing in the morning but then the list took the entire night and they couldn't send it to the servants of the manor on time.
The list was sent out late in the morning caused the delay in their departure now Shen Zizhen was upset and couldn't help but scold his servants for being too slow.
The servants who have never faced with something so unprecedented before "..." you are the turtle on a snail, your entire family are turtles in snails! You ruthless capitalist, you sent us to buy more than three hundred and seventy items and yet you have the nerve to call us slow?
Do you have no heart?
Shen Zeyu who witnessed the tyranny of his father gave the workers a sympathetic glance. He can totally understand what these people were feeling because he too was feeling the same.
Last night his father gave such a difficult task to him without even thinking about it! His father had to just run his mouth but they were the ones who suffered the most!
The entire night he worked to gather enough evidence against the Fu family. Then he had to work on spreading the rumours too. Only Shen Zeyu knew how hard it was for him to do both the things simultaneously.
Once the leak got out, the Fu family tried hard to make the pieces of evidence disappear. To manage to get their hands on these documents -was like running in a wildfire and scrounging them out from underneath a burning log.
Shen Zeyu was tired and restless but somehow he managed to get the work done. He approached his father holding out the pile of documents he said. "Father here you go."
Shen Zizhen looked at Shen Zeyu then his gaze dropped to the pile of documents frowning he asked. "What's this rubbish?"
Rubbish? Rubbish?!! His father actually called his entire work that he did last night rubbish!!!
Shen Zeyu wanted to snap at his father but he was a filial son. He cannot scold his father. Nor can he snap at his father..and he sure as hell cannot punch his father.
However ..he could ask the tailor of his family to make him a custom made doll that he can use to release his pent up stress.
Shen Zeyu inhaled a long breath and somehow managed to keep the smile on his face. "Father this is the evidence that you wanted on the Fu family."
Shen Zizhen took the documents but the frown on his face turned even deeper instead of easing up. "You disturbed me just for this unimportant thing? Can't you see I am in a hurry here?"
"Haha I see, then father what should I do with these 'unimportant things'?" Though Shen Zeyu was still smiling, his fingers were tightly clenched.
That custom made doll will be… he opened his eyes and assessed his father's height -it's going to be five nine.
"Just throw them in my trunk. Do l you even have to ask such a simple thing?" said Shen Zizhen waspishly.
"Haha sure, sure." He walked off imagining the doll's face and satisfied with it's uncannily resemblance to his father's face ..by some weird coincidence.

"Her son has some connections with the local thugs of the capital." Fang Zimo who woke up after fully resting couldn't sit still for long.
He wanted to see Luo Xin's fall and wished that she lived a life worse than death. So he didn't waste any time in telling Lin Yan everything he knew. "It's because of this that no one dares to go against the Fu family, they are worried about getting entangled with those thugs."
Lin Yan patiently listened to Fang Zimo. Actually he already knew that the Fu family must have a good backing in the capital or they wouldn't be so haughty.
Luo Xin has never avoided any trouble it was like she knew that there was nothing they could do to her. Even if what she was doing was against the laws.
He scooped a little amount of the nutritional soup and brought it to Fang Zimo's lips, who obediently drank it. "Brother Yan it's too bitter." Complained Fang Zimo coquettishly.
"It's alright the bitter the medicine the more effective it is. So just suck it up and finish it." No matter how much Fang Zimo complained Lin Yan didn't get angry.
He was exceptionally patient with the latter and fed him the medicine bit by bit. "Just finish it up then I will make something sweet for you, that will help you with the bitter taste."
"Okay brother Yan." Fang Zimo no longer looked like the little devil who tried to kidnap Lin Yan.
Now he looked like a sweet young brother who was willing to listen to everything that his big brother had to say. He didn't kick up a fuss and even blushed a little when Lin Yan softly coaxed him.
Seeing the two like this everyone in the room was stunned. Su Wan who came with a warm bowl of porridge suddenly felt a bit awkward what was this? A rival? Was this the beginning of a bl Romance story? What should she make of this?
She wasn't the only one who was shocked even Lin Yu and Lin Jing were surprised. The aura surrounding the two was a bit weird and they didn't know what should they talk about under such a scenario.
Lin Yu turned to his eldest brother and couldn't help but ask "E..Eldest brother did this guy really kidnap second brother?"
Lin Jing pursed his lips in all honesty ...he wanted to ask the same thing! But who should he ask?
