Chapter 2345
I intertwined my arms, rubbing my fingers back and forth on my arms, using them to wipe away the coolness of my exposed skin, and calmly looked at him and said, “What I want you to do, you can’t do, what I don’t want, you desperately try to stuff it down my throat, you love someone, you treat someone well, all self-centered, we are simply two worlds apart, I have nothing to teach you.”
Murong Zhuan’s face changed again and again, dark and oppressive, his breath cold and frightening.
Angry again?
Can’t listen to it?
Suffer it.
Until this resentment eats away at your sanity a little, until you taste what it’s like to not be able to eat or sleep, that’s only fair.
In this silent silence, Murong Zhuan spoke word for word, “Fu Shenyan does not love you, yet you repeatedly give up your principles for him, I repeatedly give in, yet you are so harsh, Shen Shu, you are not fair.”
A joke, a devil like him who tramples on people’s lives and wreaks havoc on the world, actually expects to be treated fairly.
If it was really fair, then those people whose families were ruined by his goods, Fu Shen Yan’s life, my life, Chen Yi’s life, the sons he suffered. . bullets, and from whom should they seek justice?
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
But I couldn’t admit my prejudice against him to Murong Zhuan openly, so I had to relent and be patient with him, “Okay, I apologize to you, I’m half responsible for today’s situation, we’re even.”
“But I hope that something like making private arrangements for my family won’t happen again, the Shen family has a family motto, it’s impossible to accept you, you can’t play tricks to force them, I owe them enough, I don’t want to cause them any more trouble in the future.”
“Okay, I promise you, I won’t touch your family.” Murong Zhuan’s face soothed a little and he agreed readily.
“Hmm.” I let go of my hands and let them hang naturally by the sides of my body, sort of lifting the defensive stance for now.
“But Xiao Shu,” Murong Zhuan suddenly spoke again, drawing his right hand out of his pocket, and at some point, there was an extra diamond ring in his hand.
It was a pink diamond, brilliant and crystalline, its body reflecting the light of different colours in a dazzling way.
“In exchange, put it on for me.” Murong Zhuan said as he held up the ring.
The ring, the token that concluded the engagement and vowed to stay together for life, held all the romance of love.
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing when he had gotten the idea to entangle himself with me for the rest of his life, and froze in place, not knowing what to say.
“Wear it so that when I see it, I won’t fight back.” Murong Zhuan added.
“Even if I want you to die?” I asked in a cold voice.
“Even if you want me to die.” Murong Zhuan repeated, his gaze firm as ever.
“Good.” I took the ring dryly, raised my left hand and slipped it into my middle finger, “Satisfied?”
Murong Zhuan was coaxed into a smile, his lips pursed, the corners of his mouth rising but restrained, and it was only then that I noticed that he was also wearing a ring on his left hand, and it was on his ring finger.
I thought he wouldn’t be clear on the signification of the ring finger and deliberately avoided it, momentarily weak and afraid that he would force me to give up the place I decided belonged to Fu Shen Yan, I simply averted my eyes and pretended not to know anything.
“Well, go downstairs and have something to eat, and take you to your meeting tonight.” Murong Zhuan didn’t know if he was deliberately teasing me, deliberately extending his ringed hand over to take me by the hand.
But he looked so open and honest that I had nothing to worry about, reaching out to hold his hand and naturally letting him lead me downstairs.
Chapter 2346
When I came downstairs, Shen Yu and the others had already left.
After a quick bite to eat, a shower and a change of clothes, Murong Zhuan himself drove me out.
After my last experience in the slum village, I didn’t expect much from this night out, it was just a formality and he was worried that I would run away, so he took me along.
But as the car pulled into an elegant lodge, I knew that I had once again misjudged Murong’s intentions.
When I got out of the car, I was still confused, and Murong Zhuan came around the front of the car and rightfully put his hand on my shoulder, and took me into the ancient corridor, saying as he walked, “Let me show you my sincerity.”
There was no end in sight, no idea what he was selling again.
As I walked along, I noticed that there were basically no other guests at the lodge, apart from the occasional two waiters, there was basically no one else, and in this part of the capital where every inch of land is gold, with such a slow business, I wondered what could be relied on to support the daily expenses.
Murong Zhuan’s box is very recognisable, with a headset holding an intercom, a tendon bodyguard guarding the entrance, and a few dozen metres away there is surveillance, so all the movements around can be grasped at any time.
The bodyguards here are much more knowledgeable, and Murong Zhuan walked in with me without any reaction, without looking away, straight as a robot.
The room was again decorated differently from the outside, with modern furniture, understated luxury, and a painting by an unknown author hanging on the wall, as if it had been added in hard and abruptly.
Another door and a bend in the road lead to the private room.
There was only one long round table in the box, with people sitting at each seat. A few of the older ones seemed impatient to wait and were already making faces, while those opposite them were relatively younger, both male and female, and Fu Shen Yan was clearly among them.
We were the latest, and Murong Zhuan told me to sit down at the main table, but he himself stood to the side and apologised, “Sorry, there was a delay, I’m late.”
After saying that, a waiter brought over chairs, and only then did he sit down next to me.
I subconsciously glanced at Fu Shen Yan, he had one hand on the table and one hand casually resting on the back of the chair, seemingly careless, but his fingertips were tapping on the table with one hand or another, exposing the urgency in his heart.
Murong Zhuan also noticed him and spoke out in an unkind tone, “Who told you to sit here?”
One of the elders, who had an inch of hair but was completely white, spoke up before Fu Shen Yan, “You’ve been away a lot lately and Xiao Fu has been handling many things appropriately, so a few of us old men made the decision to let him take Li Yang’s place for the time being.”
“Who says it’s not,” the bald old man next to him said in an odd voice, “Fu Shen Yan’s ability is obvious to everyone, and if someone hadn’t secretly tipped off the police last time, Li Yang wouldn’t have taken his place. If it wasn’t for someone giving information to the police, Li Yang wouldn’t have been killed at such a young age, and the mess was left there.
“To the police. The “report to the police” probably refers to the last time Fu Shenyan was injured in the deal.
I thought Fu Shen Yan was only ambushed that time, but to my surprise, he was killed, so it was a hundred times more dangerous than I thought.
But the way things are going, it seems that Fu Shenyan has won a lot of support in the group by taking advantage of Murong Zhuan’s betrayal of his brother.
It’s a blessing in disguise.
Murong Zhuan smiled lightly and asked the two old men who had a condescending attitude back, “What do you want to say?”
