It started to rain when Zhuang Shen went back to school, and they didn't want to go to the cafeteria to eat at noon, so they simply ordered takeaway and went to Shen Wen's small studio to eat together.

After arranging the dishes, Jiang Huai took a few photos and sent them to Moments. After posting, his eyes swept over Zhuang Shen's face several times, and he hesitated to speak every time, as if he was thinking about what to say.

Zhuang Shen noticed his strange expression and asked directly, "What are you looking at?"

"There is just one problem," Jiang Huai said, seeing through his thoughts, and not hiding it anymore, "Is your father Zhuang Huiye?"

Seeing that he guessed it, Zhuang Shen felt that Jiang Huai was much smarter than he thought: "Yes."

Jiang Huai patted his thigh and said, "I knew it! This idea suddenly came to my mind when I read the rankings before. Brother Shen, I was dumbfounded when you left in a Maybach last time."

Shen Wen handed the disposable chopsticks to Zhuang Shen: "Is the matter resolved?"

Zhuang Shen: "The family affairs are almost settled."

Jiang Huai asked curiously: "Brother Shen, what are you doing when you ask for leave to go back? And you usually hide it too well. If we didn't bump into you that day, I might never know your family background."

As he was talking, the phone suddenly vibrated and a video call popped up.

"Miss Lin, why did you play the video..." Jiang Huai picked it up while talking, smiling brightly: "What a beauty at noon."

Lin Yan's voice came from his mobile phone: "What's the matter, you all eat well. I had a cold two days ago and the food at home was so weak that I couldn't eat it."

Jiang Huai deliberately took a close-up view of Cai: "Let me take a closer look."

Lin Yan suddenly became angry: "Jiang Huai, you are looking for smoke! You turn the camera up and show me that the person is similar, at least it can ease my mood."

Jiang Huai giggled and lifted the phone up, and the two boys sitting opposite immediately entered the screen: "Come on, let me show you, but I can only show you in pairs, otherwise the other boy will have opinions."

Lin Yan's tone was quite relaxed: "It's just right to be in a pair, and the good mood is multiplied by two. What are you talking about?"

"You just caught up!" Jiang Huai was particularly enthusiastic. He put his mobile phone on the table, took the disposable chopsticks and said, "We are talking about Brother Shen's family background. Thought he was poor!"

Shen Wen glanced sideways at Zhuang Shen, and asked in a low voice, "What did your father ask you to do back then?"

Zhuang Shen said indifferently: "He doesn't agree with us being together, he feels ashamed, maybe he is also afraid that you will steal his family business."

Jiang Huai almost died laughing: "Your father thinks Brother Wen will rob his family business? No, let alone other families, he doesn't care about his own family affairs, how is that possible."

Shen Wen originally had a bad initial impression of Zhuang Shen's father's indifference, but upon hearing this description, he couldn't help frowning: "Why does he care about this all of a sudden?"

Zhuang Shen said bluntly: "Because my grades have suddenly improved, and I will win him glory."

It seemed to be a normal sentence, but when it came out of his mouth, there was some unexplained contempt under the cold tone.

Everyone paused for a moment, but the phone that was placed aside was the first to speak out. Lin Yan made no secret of her dissatisfaction: "What kind of father is this? He doesn't care about poor grades, but he is willing to take care of him if he has good grades? This is too powerful. Yes! Zhuang Shen, you should not go home in the future, this kind of person dares to expose you now, maybe he will go too far in the future!"

Jiang Huai also nodded: "It's really wrong, if it's mine, I will directly rebel."

After thinking about it, he felt wrong again: "But who spread the news about you and Brother Wen? Could it be Lao Xu?"

"It's not him." The eyes that Zhuang Ruoying looked at him at the dining table flashed in Zhuang Shen's mind, "It's Zhuang Ruoying."

Jiang Huai didn't know that Zhuang Ruoying was his step-sister, so he felt a fire in his heart: "Why is it her again? She's still going on, she posted a post on the forum to slander you, and now she's making a small report... No, she How can I contact your dad? Wait, you two have the same surname, you can't be..."

Zhuang Shen raised his eyes indifferently: "Step-sister."

The brother and sister Jiang Huai was going to talk about got stuck in his throat, and he sighed: "No wonder..."

Lin Yan has a straightforward personality, so she opened her mouth and said, "What kind of green tea bitch is this? Doesn't she have any self-knowledge? Isn't she afraid of retribution for doing so many tricks behind her back?"

Jiang Huai thought of the previous series of events, and stood on the same road with his friends to share the same hatred: "Yes, yes, yes, let's wish her a lifetime of bad luck if she doesn't get into a good university!"

Zhuang Shen felt a lot better after listening to them singing together.

Lin Yan said a few words, and changed the topic back: "Uncle Shen's birthday is coming, when will you arrive, I'm almost growing grass here."

Jiang Huai saw blood at the first blow: "We will stay there for two days. Brother Wen will stand with our brother Shen every day. What are you planning?"

Lin Yan said angrily: "Is it okay if I don't have someone I like now, and who said that I have to look at Shen Wen, I now think that Zhuang Shen is more in line with my aesthetic standards, I want to take a second look, what's wrong?"

Jiang Huai immediately looked at Shen Wen, Shen Wen lazily raised his eyes, and glanced at the phone screen: "It's okay to take a look, but don't hold on to hope."

The few of them have known each other since they were young, and they have no restraint in speaking. Jiang Huai laughed like crazy: "Hahahahaha Lin Yan, listen, you should hurry up and find someone else to like."

Lin Yan was too angry to speak.

Zhuang Shen took a chopstick of meat and threw it into Shen Wen's bowl: "Eat."

The implication is to let him stop looking for trouble.

Shen Wen glanced at the piece of meat several times, and said with a smile, "How do you know I like beef?"

Zhuang Shen: "..."

He picked it up casually.

Jiang Huai couldn't stand it anymore: "I'll be full with dog food."

Lin Yan: "Forget it, I'd better go and see my idol."

The meal finally returned to calm, Shen Wen lowered his eyes and recalled Zhuang Shen's investigation of Hexian before, and couldn't help frowning after colluding.

The person he likes is not doing well, and it is not easy to investigate that matter by himself.

When they were alone in the dormitory, Shen Wen asked, "How is your mother's investigation going?"

Zhuang Shen was wearing a pair of earphones, the light covered him with a soft halo, his eyelashes drooped, and his eyes were soaked in the light of the mobile phone: "My mother's death is related to my stepmother. Back then, the medicine she took was tampered with. After a while, the medicine in her home will be tested."

"Medicine?" Shen Wen thought for a while and said, "I know someone who can take you to the laboratory, ask them for help or do it yourself."

Zhuang Shen originally wanted to find a place by himself, it would be safer if he had acquaintances, so he agreed.

After talking about this matter, Shen Wen took out the watch he received earlier, and raised his lower lip at him: "Tell me, what's the matter with this watch?"

Zhuang Shen said calmly: "Don't you like it, I give it to you."

Shen Wen laughed angrily at his calm face: "If you broke your fortune and got me this watch, what should I get for it?"

Zhuang Shen said inexplicably: "No money, my grandfather left me something, I will send it to you directly when I see it."

Shen Wen was a little surprised, the person who took the watch away was Zhuang Shen's grandfather, it seems that their parents are quite rich.

"I also thought, if you spend all your money, then I can only sell myself to pay you back." Shen Wen said with curled lips.

Zhuang Shen raised his eyes: "Sold to who?"

Shen Wen gestured to hook his hand: "Whoever places the order first will sell it to whoever, what do you think?"

The two stood very close, and since they hadn't seen each other for a few days, there was no need to think too much when there were only two of them, and even their words were a little presumptuous.

Zhuang Shen hooked his tie and pulled him down: "Okay."

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and it was blown by the wind and hit the window glass. The heavy rain isolated the room from the outside world.

The figures clinging to each other hit the floor, and time seemed to slow down gradually.

The day to go to Beijing arrived in a blink of an eye. Shen's father was famous and many people came. Zhuang Shen and the others arrived earlier and gathered at the corner of the second floor of the banquet hall.

"Why are there so many people here this time?" Jiang Huai followed behind the two of them, and said strangely: "I don't remember it being such a big show before."

They stood in front of the fence and looked down. The people who came were all dressed in bright clothes, and they could talk to everyone they knew well or not.

Shen Wen said casually: "A lot of business partners have come this time, and basically those who want to participate have received invitation letters."

Bring one or two family members with you, watching the excitement from below.

Zhuang Shen inadvertently looked down, and saw a familiar person, his eyes fixed on one place.

Jiang Huai, who was watching boredly, happened to see it too, and immediately said, "Isn't that person below Zhuang Ruoying? Why is she here? The man next to him can't be..."

He turned his head and looked at Zhuang Shen.

Zhuang Shen's face was calm, he quickly looked away, and only replied with one word: "Yes."

Lin Yan was aroused by them: "Who? That white lotus?"

"It's her, she actually has the face to come." Jiang Huai pointed to Zhuang Ruoying, and immediately realized: "They don't know that they are attending Shen Wen's father's birthday party, right? It's a show."

What Jiang Huai could think of, of course Zhuang Shen also thought of it. Zhuang Huiye's sudden appearance here is probably because he wants to get more benefits. Even if he can't cling to the Shen family, it's not good to build a bridge with other people.

Shen Wen's face became dark since he saw Zhuang Ruoying's face, he glanced thoughtfully for a few times, and then said: "Go down, the time is almost up."

This time it was Shen's father's birthday, and Shen Wen was the focus of everyone's time, as soon as he went downstairs, many people of the same age or elders he knew talked to him.

And it happened that Zhuang Huiye, who was finally able to come because his friend and Fengding had a work relationship, took this opportunity to get online, and his expression was very ugly at this time.

He had only met Shen Wen once, but he had a good memory and recognized him at a glance.

The people here are all of high status, but they all ran over to talk to Shen Wen, and then contacted his name...

Zhuang Huiye immediately realized how stupid his previous thoughts were. If he knew that Shen Wen was the young master of Fengding Group, he would never have interfered with Zhuang Shen's matter!

Zhuang Ruoying was able to come this time because of Zhu Wan. Zhuang Huiye reluctantly took her with her under Zhu Wan's rhetoric.

The moment Zhuang Ruoying saw Shen Wen and Zhuang Shen, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured all over her body.

Before he calmed down, Zhuang Huiye frowned and asked in a low voice: "You said before that you didn't know about Shen Wen's family background?"

Zhuang Ruoying said in a daze: "...I don't know, he never said it, and he has very few friends..."

Zhuang Ruoying wanted to hide her figure, but as soon as the people who went up to greet Shen Wen stepped aside, the two groups met face to face.

Zhuang Shen didn't seem to know half of them at all, he glanced at them faintly, and followed Shen Wen to pass them by.

Zhuang Huiye intends to make friends with the Shen family, and now is the best opportunity, but the things he did to Zhuang Shen that day probably left an unpleasant mark in his heart.

"You stole Zhuang Shen's topic before, and you haven't apologized properly. Now go over and apologize to him." Zhuang Huiye said in a tone that did not allow her to refuse: "Remember to tell me that I let you go over."

Zhuang Ruoying's eyes widened: "Dad, I have already apologized in front of the whole Internet!"

"So I'll let you say it yourself, go over immediately!" Zhuang Huiye lowered his voice, his expression looked a little scary.

Zhuang Ruoying gritted her teeth and moved over reluctantly.

Under the light, three men and one woman were all outstanding in appearance. One of the boys stood up straight, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and his expressionless face was as indifferent as if shrouded in a cold light.

Zhuang Ruoying's approach made the few people who were still talking stop suddenly, Zhuang Shen gave her a very flat look and didn't speak.

Zhuang Ruoying looked at him, and said unwillingly: "Dad asked me to come here to apologize to you... I was wrong about what happened in the Mathematical Olympiad design competition before. I shouldn't use your topic to compete. I have already apologized online before. I hope you don't mind."

Zhuang Shen didn't want to pay attention to this matter at all: "I don't really want to see your face, please go."

"You...!" Zhuang Ruoying's eyes turned red.

Shen Wen next to him suddenly said: "Do you hear me clearly, don't appear in front of him again in the future, you are not worthy."

When he looked at her, it was like looking at the inconspicuous plants and trees on the street, and he didn't even want to give her a look.

Zhuang Ruoying was treated like this by the boy she liked, and tears fell instantly. Obviously things would not develop like this, it was all because of Zhuang Shen, and it was all under Zhuang Shen's guidance that they treated her like this!

While crying, Zhuang Ruoying raised her voice a little: "Zhuang Shen, what do you think you are! You are hooking up with Shen Wen, you are gay!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd all stopped and looked at this side together.

Shen Wen took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Two people, please come in, cancel the membership qualifications of the two dealers, and pull them out."

Zhuang Ruoying was wrapped up in Ruyi and couldn't hear anything. She just wanted to pull Zhuang Shen into the abyss. She opened her eyes wide and said with revenge: "You are so disgusting, and you have such a noble face..."

The next moment, a crisp applause resounded through the hall.

Zhuang Ruoying turned her head from the side in a daze, and raised her hand in disbelief to touch her side face.

Burning pain.

The eyes of others almost pierced her skin.

Her voice became sharp uncontrollably: "You... what are you doing? Why did you hit me?!"

Standing in front of her, Lin Yan's face was exquisite, but her eyes were burning, and her whole body was full of lingering anger. She looked down at Zhuang Ruoying, as if she was looking at the cheapest bugs: "They are boys who don't hit girls, and I beat."

She stared at Zhuang Ruoying's wide eyes, and raised her face full of sarcasm and pity.

"Ask why? You were the one who beat you! It doesn't matter to you whether the person others like is a man or a woman? Is it against the law? A pheasant who sneaked into a wealthy family really thinks of himself as a phoenix? I don't even look at your appearance, you Does it match?!"
