Shen Jiuyan's voice was heard over the phone. "Why are you looking for Xin 'er?"
Shen Tingxi removed the cigarette from his thin lips and exhaled a puff of smoke. It was unclear whether it was because of the smoke or because Shen Jiuyan's words had made him unhappy. His slightly knitted brows furrowed even more. "Don't worry, I won't touch the women you've played with."
"Xi 'er!" Shen Jiuyan raised his voice.
Shen Tingxi's face didn't change and he said, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Come at me if you have anything to say. Don't touch her."
"You're my father. What can I do to you?" Shen Tingxi sneered. "As for her … The more nervous you are, the more I want to kill her."
"Xi 'er, who doesn't have a few women around us? Didn't you … "
"I'm different from you. If you want to play, don't start a family." After saying this, Shen Tingxi directly hung up the phone and put the phone back into his trouser pocket. His slender body leaned against the door frame and fiercely sucked on the cigarette in the corner of his mouth.
Before he met Mu Ning Jing, Shen Tingxi didn't deny that he had many women around him, but he didn't have the same mindset as Shen Jiuyan. He didn't plan to start a family and had never made any promises to those women. He had made the ending clear before they started.
In their line of work, they made a living in a storm of bullets. Not only was it dangerous, but they also offended many people. They didn't know what would happen tomorrow, so they were more open-minded about the matters between men and women.
Usually, they wouldn't start a family because they would expose their weakness to their opponents and it would bring great danger to their family.
Shen Jiuyan often worked outside and was rarely at home. She was also cold to him and Ju Qiulan. Even when they met, she would leave quickly.
Ju Qiulan told Shen Tingxi that Shen Jiuyan was cold to them because she loved them and was protecting them.
Even so, Shen Tingxi was often kidnapped when he was young.
There was once when he and Ju Qiulan were kidnapped. Shen Jiuyan wasn't in the capital and only his subordinates came to rescue them. They weren't very efficient and couldn't find the kidnappers' hideout.
Shen Tingxi remembered clearly that he was 13 years old.
The kidnappers humiliated Ju Qiulan in front of him. He struggled with all his might and his wrists were bleeding from the ropes. He was also beaten until he was on the brink of death.
After that incident, Ju Qiulan tried to commit suicide and was saved. Shen Tingxi knelt beside Ju Qiulan's bed with bloodshot eyes and said that if she died, he didn't want to live either.
Ju Qiulan didn't try to commit suicide and she was depressed for a long time.
It was also after that incident that Shen Tingxi made up his mind to do this line of work. Since he couldn't avoid it, then he would make himself stronger. He would become the most ruthless and merciless person. He would become the person who made others stop in their tracks.
A year later, those who had humiliated Ju Qiulan had all died in various ways.
That was when Shen Tingxi's fame began to enter everyone's field of vision.
Shen Jiuyan asked Shen Tingxi, 'Are you sure you want to do this? Aren't you afraid that your wife and children will live in fear like you and your mother? '
Shen Tingxi said, 'I won't start a family.'
Shen Jiuyan said, 'Don't be so sure. I didn't plan to start a family before I met your mother.'
Shen Tingxi said, 'If I do, I won't be as weak as you. I'll be responsible for my wife and children and ensure their safety.'
Shen Jiuyan smiled bitterly and said, 'Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers. One day, you'll know what it means to have no choice.'
After that, Shen Jiuyan started to train Shen Tingxi. After a few years of stability and bloodshed, Shen Tingxi was better than Shen Jiuyan in terms of courage and means.
Especially in recent years, after Shen Tingxi took over the Black Dragon Gang, his reputation spread like thunder in their circle.
Shen Tingxi had retired behind the scenes. Although Shen Jiuyan often worked outside, Shen Tingxi had never heard of his romantic affairs. He didn't expect that he would start to lose his integrity in his old age.
A burning pain came from between his fingers, interrupting Shen Tingxi's thoughts. He looked down and saw that the cigarette had burned out. Shen Tingxi didn't press the doorbell anymore. He knocked twice on the door and said in a cold voice, "Open the door."
Hu Xin 'er's delicate face was a little pale. She didn't make a sound and didn't dare to breathe too hard. Her nerves slowly tensed up, but her brain was still working quickly. Why did Shen Tingxi come looking for her?
Was it because she went to the Shen family's manor two days ago?
That couldn't be right. If it was because of that incident, with Shen Tingxi's swift and decisive style, he would have come looking for her long ago. Why would he wait two days?
But if it wasn't because of that incident, what was the reason?
Was it because she went to see Mu Ning Jing?
But she didn't do anything to Mu Ning Jing.
Hu Xin 'er couldn't figure it out. There were two more knocks outside, louder than before. It was obvious that the person outside had lost his patience.
Hu Xin 'er's heart was in her throat. She held her phone and paced around the door, not daring to call Shen Jiuyan again. He hated women pestering him the most. She had already called him. If she called again, he would definitely be unhappy.
Moreover, the person outside the door was his son. If she called to urge him again, it would feel like she was trying to drive a wedge between them.
Although Shen Tingxi and Shen Tingxi didn't get along well in recent years because of her, Hu Xin 'er knew that Shen Jiuyan actually valued Shen Tingxi very much. He also had feelings for Ju Qiulan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped her from having children.
Just as Hu Xin 'er was pacing around anxiously, there was movement outside the door. She put her eyes to the peephole to see what was happening outside.
It was a few people arranged by Shen Jiuyan to protect her. They were talking to Shen Tingxi respectfully with their heads lowered. The house was soundproof, so Hu Xin 'er couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
She only saw that Shen Tingxi's expression was unusually ugly. It was as dark as the dark clouds in the sky.
Hu Xin 'er almost pressed her face against the door. They were talking to each other outside, but they actually started fighting.
Shen Tingxi was skilled in martial arts. In addition, those people didn't dare to really hit Shen Tingxi. They were just on guard. Soon, they were beaten down by Shen Tingxi.
Shen Tingxi walked to the door with a cold expression. He kicked the door, making a loud noise.
Hu Xin 'er was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. What should she do? What should she do?
Hu Xin 'er was so anxious that her face turned pale. She hurried to the living room and looked around, looking for something to defend herself with. She thought of something and ran into the kitchen. She took a small fruit knife from the knife rack and ran out of the kitchen. Just as she was about to walk to the door, a loud bang came from outside.
Shen Tingxi kicked the door open?!
Hu Xin 'er was so scared that she hurriedly hid in the bedroom. She closed the door and locked it. She stood behind the door, trembling all over.
