Chapter 42 - Everyone but me

"The Shen family is a famous family with a big family and many natural people. When there are many people, they will naturally have conflicts of interest. Some people are jealous of my brother's status and identity. And some people try to find ways to get some benefits from my brother and treat him as a money cow, so, on the surface, my brother looks glorious, but actually, it's hard work for him in this position. "

Shen Mu Qiao frowned and said. Other than her, who else in this family didn't have a goal and purpose?

Qin Ruo Chu was a little shocked, thinking that there were times when Shen Mu Sheng was so tired that he did not want to talk, and there were times when he came home with a bad mood, probably because of this, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

"Who wants to make things difficult for Mu Sheng, and who's trying to get benefits out of him?" Qin Ruo Chu frowned and asked, his voice carrying an unknown seriousness.

Shen Mu Qiao looked at Qin Ruo Chu, "Other than me, everyone else in the Shen Family …"

Qin Ruo Chu frowned even more.

Until he came to Shen Mu Qiao's room and went into a deep sleep, Qin Ruo Chu's tightly knitted brows had yet to loosen.

Qin Ruo Chu turned her head to look at Shen Mu Qiao, who was beside her. She was already breathing evenly and fell asleep.

She fought to keep her eyes open, and thought about what Shen Mu Qiao had just said to her, "The Shen family … Just what kind of family is it? " Qin Ruo Chu muttered.

Everyone living in the Cloud City knew that the Shen family was the most powerful family in the Cloud City, and held the business lifeline of the Cloud City.

Of course, the Shen family had been depressed for over a hundred years, but that was only for a short period of time. Very quickly, the Shen family had returned to its peak, even more so than when they were at their peak.

In Qin Ruo Chu's memory, she only knew that the Shen family was rich and powerful, she did not know that there was actually such a serious internal conflict in the Shen family, and furthermore, Shen Mu Sheng was the person standing at the heart of the struggle.

Thinking about it, Qin Ruo Chu suddenly remembered that a few times, when Shen Mu Sheng mentioned the Shen family, she seemed to want to say something, but was hesitant. Now that Qin Ruo Chu understood the reason, he gradually started to have a vague outline, and she faintly felt that the Shen family was not a simple business family.

"Mu Sheng, how helpless and fearsome are you exactly …" Qin Ruo Chu could not help but sigh.

At the same time, in the courtyard of Old Lady Shen, Shen Mu Sheng was still standing straight in the inner hall while the Old Lady Shen who was sitting on the soft couch was leisurely drinking the tea in her cup.

Shen Mu Sheng stood in his original position, his gaze concentrated at an unknown place, and he did not even take a glance at Old Lady Shen.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Lady Shen opened her eyes and saw that Shen Mu Sheng did not seem to be afraid of the heavens or the earth.

"Do you still have a Grandmother in your eyes?! Now that your wings have hardened, you don't even place the Shen family in your eyes anymore. Look at that woman you brought back! His family background was not good, and he didn't know the reason. Such a woman, how dare you bring her to the Shen family, and even saying that she is the grandson of the Shen family's daughter-in-law, I … "Cough, cough, cough …" Old Lady Shen was enraged, but when she talked about excitement, she started coughing violently.

Only then did Shen Mu Sheng slowly turn his gaze towards Old Lady Shen. He coldly curled the corner of his lips, and revealed a smile that was even colder than indifference.

"Qin Ruo Chu is a woman that I like. I say she is good, she is good, do you want to marry me, Shen Mu Sheng, or do you want me to marry you?" Shen Mu Sheng did not retreat at all.

"You think I won't investigate this woman? Hmph, the Qin family? Forget about everything else, just being in Cloud City is not enough for you. Furthermore, she is a wild girl whose parents have both died. In Old Lady Shen's words, Qin Ruo Chu was worthless.

Shen Mu Sheng closed his eyes and opened them once again. It was an endless chill and he had already heard enough of Qin Ruo Chu's mistakes today. Shen Mu Sheng looked at Old Lady Shen without concealing her cold and warning.

This was the first time Old Lady Shen had seen such a dangerous look in Shen Mu Sheng's eyes.

"..." You, don't forget, I am your Grandmother! Do you think I haven't nodded my head in agreement to your marriage? Hmph! "Even if you were married, do you think you'd be able to stay married for a long time?" The Old Lady Shen sneered.

Towards Shen Mu Sheng, she was indeed wary, but with the title of Patriarch and the position of Grandmother, she was still far above him, unshakable.

"The marriage is already concluded, and I will protect at all costs the people and things I believe to be right. Grandmother, I have been in the Shen family for so long, you should know my nature. " Shen Mu Sheng called him Grandmother without any emotion, so the meaning behind his words could not be any clearer.

"Shen Mu Sheng! Don't forget, if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for your Grandmother who nodded, would you be able to sit in today's seat? How can you have such a status? I still have to warn you, I can make you the manager of the Shen family, and I can also make you lose everything! " Old Lady Shen was so angry that her hands were trembling.

"Did you give me my seat today? Are you sure? How do I remember that year, when you brought me back from America, you threw me a dangerous, shaky Shen family? How come you're giving me everything now? " Shen Mu Sheng's eyes were filled with ridicule, although he did not want to recall the past, but since he had reached this point, he had to clarify.

"You are the grandson of the Shen family, and you still possess the bloodline of the Shen family. This is what we should do, and besides... All the rights, status, etc. that you get from it, are they not what you want? " Old Lady Shen sneered.

"Heh, rights, status... Do you think everyone is like you, putting more importance on power and status than life? "

Even though Shen Mu Sheng was still a student in the United States, he had already revealed a talent that ordinary people could not compare to.

Shen Mu Sheng never returned home, nor did he have any plans to return to the Shen family. Until one day, the Shen family sent someone to America to inform him that his father was very ill. Shen Mu Sheng hurried back to his country. At that time, his father was already on the verge of death.

On the sickbed, Father Shen used his weak hands to tightly pull on Shen Mu Sheng's sleeve, tears flickering in his eyes.

"Mu Sheng, I'm sorry your mother, I'm sorry to you two siblings, but … Please you must save the Shen family. The Shen family no longer has any successors, and only has one bloodline, you promised me, you promise me! "

Shen Mu Sheng still remembered how his father had begged him. That helplessness and despair, even if he hated the Shen family to the core and was not willing to return to the Shen family's prison. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

He was afraid that if he did not nod and agree, his father would die with everlasting regret …
