Chapter 1071: Chapter 1071: Human Lives 7
The third son, Shen Bohong, watched, his big belly sinking back against the chair as he adjusted himself into a very comfortable position.
"If it were me, I wouldn’t just have dragged her into this. No matter what, I’d pin the death of that teacher, what’s-her-name, Xu Rou, on Mu Tiantian. Otherwise it’d all be for nothing!"
Sitting not far away, Shen Tiancheng listened, his laughter light, frivolous, tinged with debauchery.
"Third Uncle, that’s not a bad idea. I wonder if you’ve got any good tricks up your sleeve to pin Xu Rou’s death on Mu Tiantian. Why don’t you let us broaden our horizons?"
As soon as Shen Tiancheng spoke, the smile on Shen Bohong’s face instantly froze.
Although Shen Tiancheng was his nephew, compared to this Third Uncle who only knew how to eat, drink, and play, this nephew’s methods made him shudder.
With what Shen Tiancheng just said, was he hoping he’d add more fuel to the news about Xu Rou’s death, or was he implying he was meddling too much?
Shen Bohong couldn’t figure out what Shen Tiancheng meant, and for a moment he just sulked in silence.
Shen Guangxi’s gaze fell on Shen Tiancheng, the only one among the grandsons who had spoken up.
Compared to the other grandsons of the Shen Family, this eldest grandson who’d grown up overseas clearly had more ideas and drew his attention far more.
He also knew that the Shen Family’s grandsons, cushioned by two generations of wealth and status, had long since lost the drive of their elders; they practically only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, completely neglecting proper work.
Precisely because of this, when his eldest son Shen Boyan brought that illegitimate child back, he neither refused nor nodded his agreement.
This ambiguous attitude had more or less put the rest of the Shen Family at ease; otherwise, the Shen Family would have been thrown into chaos.
As for the land in the south of the city, the Shen Family had to get it, no matter what!
So even if, in the end, it was that illegitimate child holding the Shen Family’s power in his hands, it would still be worth it.
Shen Guangxi narrowed his eyes, his expression stern as he looked at Shen Tiancheng, whose smile was unruly and frivolous.
"The land in the south of the city is about to enter open bidding. I want you all to shift your attention from these irrelevant matters to this instead!"
"At the same time, whoever helps the Shen Family secure the bid for the land in the south of the city will be the heir of the Shen Family!"
The living room fell silent in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely unrestrained, wanton laugh rang out.
"I like this plan."
Shen Tiancheng slanted a glance at Shen Guangxi, swept his gaze over Shen Boyan, then lifted his long legs, said nothing more, and simply walked out of the Shen Family’s main hall.
——
When Tian Tian woke up, she was in the master bedroom on the second floor of the Golden Bay Villa.
Staring at the familiar crystal chandelier, Tian Tian couldn’t help raising her hand to rub her eyes.
As soon as she lifted her hand, she realized there was still someone lying beside her.
She turned her head slightly and saw Bai Chenyao, propped against the headboard on a pillow, reading documents.
Seeing her wake, Bai Chenyao put down the documents in his hand, raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice gentle.
"Awake?"
Tian Tian nodded and instinctively looked at the clock on the wall. Seeing that it was already five thirty in the afternoon, she couldn’t help being a bit dumbfounded.
"I slept that long?"
Bai Chenyao nodded, swung his long legs off the bed, and got up directly.
"Get up. Go downstairs. Eat."
Tian Tian: "..."
Did he have to pause every two words? That rhythm really was something.
The events from before she’d fallen asleep suddenly flashed through her mind, and the just-awake Tian Tian froze again.
"A Yao, what’s going on with that bastard and Xu Rou now?"
Xu Rou was already dead; no matter how uneasy that made her, there was nothing she could do about it.
But the living were still alive!
As for that heartless bastard of a man and that shameless woman Yu Wen, they absolutely had to be taught a brutal, naked lesson!
