In the evening, when Shen Muxi returned home, it was already past ten o'clock, which surprised him that Cheng Tian Tu was not in his bedroom. In the past, Cheng Tian Painting would either be lying in bed reading or watching TV.

However, at this time, he was even tired of looking at Cheng Tian Painting, so he naturally did not care about where she went. He took out a new contract from his briefcase, turned around, and walked towards the old lady's bedroom.

Although he was in charge of the Shen family, he still needed to ask the old lady for her opinion on many matters concerning decision-making. It was to show his respect for her.

The old lady usually started resting at ten o'clock. If it wasn't for the fact that she was in a hurry over the contract, Shen Moxi wouldn't have gone to disturb her old lady so late.

Standing at the door of the old lady's bedroom, Shen Moxi pressed his ear close to the crack of the door and listened for any movement inside. If the old lady were to sleep, he would come back tomorrow morning.

There was a commotion in the room, and it was clear that the old lady was not sleeping.

You could faintly hear the old lady's voice saying, "... If Little Painting is going to help me take on this blame, I really feel sorry for her. Say, since she's not back yet, could it be that she ran away from home in grief? "

"Old Granny, don't worry. I've already asked Hai Zhu. When Young Madam left this morning, she said that she might be on the night shift and won't be back." Sister Zhang said.

Pausing for a moment, Sister Zhang continued, "But I saw that Eldest Young Master was quite angry this time. It seems that he decided that the price was revealed by Young Madam to the Gu Clan."

"Then what should we do? Will the two of them continue to stay like this? "

"This... "With eldest young master's personality, it's really hard to say." Sister Zhang expressed concern.

The old lady said hesitantly, "Tell me …" "If Eldest Young Master knew that I purposefully revealed the price to Gu An, would he tear apart my old bones?"

"That won't happen, Eldest Young Master is so filial to you."

"Yeah, I don't think he has the guts." The old lady comforted herself.

Shen Muxi's hand, which had been about to knock on the door, slowly clenched into a fist. Surprised and annoyed, he gritted his teeth.

He had never expected that the old lady would reveal the price to Gu An, the president of the Gu household. There was no need to ask, he also knew why the old lady wanted to do this.

Shen Moxi was just about to knock on the door when Sister Zhang, who had heard the commotion, walked over and pulled open the door.

Seeing Shen Moxi at the door, Sis Zhang and Old Lady Zhang were both surprised. A look of guilt appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Large... Young Master, why are you here? " Sis Zhang was tongue-tied as she retreated to the door.

"If I didn't come, how would I know what you were doing?" Shen Muxi sneered, Ling Li's gaze swept across and landed on the old lady.

This gaze was too terrifying. As an elder, even the old lady couldn't help shivering.

"Grandmother, I've already married Cheng Tian Painting according to your wishes. Why are you still doing this?" Shen Moxi strode over to the old woman's bed and stared down at her.

"What are you doing?" Old Lady Shen's face was stern, her gaze sweeping across him. "What kind of battle array is this? Do you really want to tear apart my old bones? "

"I'm asking what you're doing!" Shen Moxi was so angry that he could only clench his fist even tighter. It was so tight that he didn't even feel the pain of his nails digging into his flesh. Of course, he couldn't do anything to the old lady. He could only endure it.

"Shen Moxi, you think that you are from the Tang Xuan Sect? The Tang Xuan Sect has the entire Tang Dynasty for him to corrupt and squander, what do you have? How many times can a small Shen Group allow you to have fun? It would take at least a billion dollars to build an amusement park, and you would have to take such a huge risk to move out just to please a dying woman. Are you sure you don't want to finish Mrs. Shen as soon as possible? "

"Like I said, the western part of the city is very suitable for a playground. After it is built, the return is also very high. Also …" Shen Moxi gritted his teeth. "Tensing is my wife, not a dying woman."

"Cheng is your wife!"

"Cheng Tian painting is your choice, not mine!" And I've already married her, what else do you want? "

"You married her home, but don't think I don't know what you did to her." Old Lady Shen's anger gradually grew. "Has it been a month since Cheng Tian painting was married? But look at her stomach, there's still no news of her at all. "

Shen Moxi looked at her angrily and laughed, "So you secretly drugged us?"

He had been discovered …

A trace of guilt flashed through Old Madam Shen's heart. However, she quickly covered it up and confidently said, "You're the one who forced me to do that."

"Does it have to be news of Cheng Tian's belly before you are willing to stop?" Shen Moxi growled in exasperation.

Old Madam Shen nodded her head coldly. "That's right."

Seeing that the grandfather-grandson duo was getting more and more stiff, Sister Zhang quickly walked up and pulled on Shen Muxi's arm, consoling him while they walked out of the door, "Eldest Young Master, don't argue with the old lady. The old lady did this all for the sake of Shen family …"

"She's so unreasonable, but she wants to force me to death!" Shen Moxi, who had been pulled to the doorway, turned his head and yelled into the room.

Old Mrs. Shen jumped up from the bed in anger, pointed at him and shouted, "Shen Mushui, don't worry, I will die before you are forced to die!"

The door was pulled shut by Sister Zhang, separating the two of them, who were in a heated argument.

Lady Shen and Shen Yuqing were also woken up and were walking out of the house.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Why are you arguing with Grandma? " Shen Yuqing walked in front of Shen Moxi and asked worriedly.

Shen Muxi was so angry that he pushed her away from him and quickly headed towards the main entrance.

Inside the resort, the night lights were resplendent and the colors enchanting.

The cool sea breeze caressed her clothes, causing Cheng Tian Hua to unconsciously shudder. She stopped and pulled her coat tighter around her.

Tonight's yacht party was a luxury she had never seen before, but it was still full of women and wine.

Cheng Tian Painting had only drunk two glasses of red wine, but he was already feeling a little intoxicated from it.

She knew that her wine was bad, so she could only try her best to stay awake and not lose her composure.

He took her by the shoulders and led her back to the bedroom of the hotel.

After entering the bedroom, Cheng Tian Hua placed one of his hands on the doorjamb and looked at him with a smile. "Thank you. I want to go to bed early."

Do I look normal? It should be normal, she thought.

Gu Zi Hao looked at her, a little worried. "Can you do it by yourself?"

"I'm just a little drunk." Cheng Tian painting continued to smile.

Gu Zi Hao stared at her, then nodded. "Then rest early, and wake up early tomorrow."

"Of course, I have to get back to work."

"Good night." After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zi Hao turned around and left the door of her bedroom, his steps clearly filled with reluctance.

After closing the door, Cheng Tian Painted shook his slightly dizzy head, turned around and walked to the wardrobe, took out a robe and headed to the bathroom.

Warm water ran down her skin. She closed her eyes, hoping that everything would be fine when she returned to the Shen family tomorrow. She hoped that her day hadn't gone to waste.

Shen Moxi, for your and Yang Tenxin's dream, I have done my best.

She suddenly felt that it was a bit funny. Was there any woman in the world more foolish than her? For the sake of his husband and his beloved girl, he was willing to give up like this.

In the bedroom next door, in the short distance from the sofa to the French window, Gu Zihao paced back and forth as if he couldn't stop.

There was a warm current of loss running through him, rushing through him, invading every nerve line in his body. The woman he loved was right next door. He could hold her, could he not? Even if it was a short day and one night.

But he was polite to her like a little gentleman, politely stepping out of her field.

If he had been a gentleman, he would not have used the excuse of the land to force her to spend a day and a night with him against his will. He would not have disturbed her life and ruined her image in his mind after knowing that she was married.

Finally, he stopped.

Finally, he headed for her bedroom.

When Gu Zi Hao stood in front of the bedroom door of Cheng Tian painting, he had a cup of honey water for the sake of liquor in his hand. After knocking several times without getting a reply, he pushed open the door and walked in.

At this moment, Cheng Tian Painting had fallen asleep like a kitten on the blanket. His black hair was loose and his features were delicate and pretty. The bathrobe on his body was tied up tightly, but there were still hints of spring that were faintly discernible.

She was sleeping soundly, and even when he stood by her bed, he was unconscious. He must have been exhausted from all day.

"Small painting …" Gu Zi Hao leaned over and nudged her arm, but Cheng Tian Painting merely grunted, frowned, and went back to sleep.

"Do you trust me that much?" Gu Zi Hao smiled lightly and pushed her hair out of her eyes.

He thought she would lock the door behind her, but it swung open.

Actually, Cheng Tian painting didn't trust him at all, and it wasn't that she wasn't on guard against him. It was just that she was drunk and tired, so she couldn't remember to lock the door at all.

Gouzi carefully lifted her off the bed, placed her under the bed, and covered her with the blanket. Then, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

In the end, he did not take her for himself tonight. He could not bear to part with her, nor could he bear to part ways.

After setting the room temperature and turning off the headlights, he sat motionless in front of Cheng's bed, watching her sleeping face in the dim light of the wall lamp.

This is a... It was a more protective method than possessing her body.

At three in the morning at the bar.

With a grim expression, Shen Moxi gulped down the whiskey in his glass and then slammed it against the opposite wall.

Ye Nans yawned as he glanced at the thick layer of broken glass on the wall opposite him. He then rolled his eyes and said, "Master Shen, are you interested?" These cups have not offended you. "

"You just drink and hit your face with the cup." Shen Moxi glared at him angrily.

"I gave up sleeping time to accompany you to go crazy here, and you still want to smash this cup on my face? But even if you hit me in the face, I'll still say it. " Ye Nantian quickly grabbed a cup and put it back on the table, "Don't be angry. Change your position and think about who the old lady is doing this for, and whether it is for your Shen family or not. Is there no risk in investing in an amusement park? It's just that you think so yourself. As for Yang Manxin's problem, are you really planning to just stay with her for the rest of your life? Who cares if your Shen family has successors or not? Or when you are old, leave Madam Shen to Yuqing's children? "Don't forget, Yuqing is not your blood sister. Giving it to her is equivalent to passing it on to outsiders."

"I don't want to think about such a long question."

"It's precisely because you don't want to think about it that the old lady is worried for you, which is why she forced you to do all this. And how far is that? You may not even be able to give birth to a child after a few decades. "

"It seems that every time I find you to drink, you are always speaking up for someone else. Nowadays, it's so hard to find a close friend to complain to." Shen Moyan sighed as she lazily leaned against the back of the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.

"I'm just helping my friends or not." Ye Nance paused and said, "To be honest, I sympathize with the old lady. I have been worried for her all my life. It's one thing to not be able to get your respect and understanding, but to be resented by you and to be pointed at and cursed at by you. "

Shen Mushi opened his eyes and turned to look at him.

Ye Nance had been talking for a long time, and only this sentence was actually meant to pierce his heart.

"Why does it sound like it's all my fault? And he said I was unforgivable. "

"It was originally."

"Forget it, just shut up." Shen Mushi stopped him from continuing.

No matter how much Old Madam Shen had paid for this family, when he thought of how Shen Jingbin had forced him to marry his great-grandson, drugged him and Cheng Tian, and even that piece of land in the west of the city was purposely taken away, he couldn't help but feel infuriated.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Yang Tenxin was really about to die. He just wanted to fulfill her final wish before she died, finally!

Ye Nance kept his mouth shut. It was not because he was afraid of Ye Xiao, but because he was tired after persuading him for a whole night.

It was already late in the night. Shen Muxi drank again and gradually began to feel sleepy. He lay on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

Until... His cell phone rang.

Someone sent him a letter. He took out his phone from his pocket and opened his inbox. When he saw the letter, his gloomy eyes gradually turned cold and his expression turned stiff.

"What's wrong?" Ye Nance looked at him and asked.

Shen Muxi sped up the speed of the screen and handed the phone over to Ye Nans, sneering, "Where do you think you are?"

Ye Nance took the phone from him and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment. The high-definition photo displayed on the screen was an intimate photo of Gu Zi Hao and Cheng Tian painting?

There were two people walking by the sea, some skiing together, some lying in the snow holding hands, some walking into the hotel together.

"This is the Cheng Tian painting that you speak of." Shen Muxi's lips curved up into a cold smile. The anger in his heart could no longer be described with words, nor could he use his actions to vent it out.

Of course, he knew where the address on the photo was. It was in An City, eight hundred kilometers away.

So Cheng Tian Painting went out for a day and a night with Gu Zi Hao to An City for a holiday. He actually had the cheek to lie to Hai Zhu and say that he was on the night shift?

Gu Zi Hao …!

Why did it have to be Gu Zihao?!

"I've always heard that Gu Zi Hao's method of picking up girls was top-notch, but I didn't expect that his reputation was well-deserved. It's only been a few days since he managed to get his sister-in-law." Ye Nantian patted on Shen Mushi's shoulder and said, "My condolences. I had expected such an outcome."

Shen Muxi fiddled with his phone and said lightly: "What do you think I should do? Pretend to be deaf? Or should I immediately rush to An Cheng and tie her up? "

"Pretend to be deaf and mute. After all, it was you who forced her to betray us." Yennan shrugged.

"If it were another man, I might have been able to do it, but this one is Gu Zihao..." I can't do it! " Shen Moxi jumped up from the sofa, picked up the car keys from the table and strode out of the bar.

"I think it's not just because he's Gu Zihao, right?" Ye Nantian's mocking voice was heard.

Shen Moxi pursed his lips in a noncommittal manner, as if he was too lazy to say more to him.
