Old Shen Residence
In the living room, Shen Jiuyan and Shen Tingxi sat opposite each other. The atmosphere between them was tense, and there was a hint of hostility.
Shen Jiuyan finished smoking the cigar in his hand before looking at Shen Tingxi with raised eyebrows. "Why did you hit Xin 'er again?"
Shen Tingxi crossed his long legs and leaned casually on the sofa. White smoke slowly exhaled from the corner of his mouth, and his tone was slightly mocking. "You looked for me because of this?"
Shen Tingxi's attitude made Shen Jiuyan frown. His voice became colder. "She knows her place and never oversteps her boundaries. Don't go overboard."
Shen Tingxi's lips curved into a cold smile. Stealing someone else's husband was called not overstepping her boundaries? Hitting his girlfriend was called knowing her place?
"Is there anything else?" Shen Tingxi bent over and put out the unfinished cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. It was obvious that he did not want to talk about this topic.
Shen Jiuyan could tell that Shen Tingxi wanted to leave, so he said coldly, "If you touch her again, don't blame me for hitting you."
Shen Tingxi looked at Shen Jiuyan indifferently, then stood up and brushed his neat and tidy shirt. His tone was rather casual. "Old man, there's a saying that the new generation excels the old. I wonder if you've heard of it?"
Shen Jiuyan's face immediately darkened. Shen Tingxi meant that he was old, and that he was more powerful than him?
Shen Jiuyan looked at Shen Tingxi's back and said coldly, "You can touch someone right under my nose. Do you think that I can't touch the people around you?"
Shen Tingxi suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Shen Jiuyan.
Shen Jiuyan knew that Shen Tingxi understood his words because he saw the nervousness in Shen Tingxi's eyes. His son was ruthless, cold, and arrogant. He did not expect that his life would be in the hands of a woman. This was not a good sign.
However, seeing that Shen Tingxi was afraid, Shen Jiuyan felt very comfortable. For so many years, Shen Tingxi had done things without any scruples and had offended many people. When Shen Jiuyan tried to persuade him, Shen Tingxi retorted, "You're always so timid. No wonder the Black Dragon Gang couldn't rise under you."
He was about to vomit blood.
Seeing his nervous and fearful expression this time, Shen Jiuyan felt as if he had turned over a new leaf. The coldness on his face dissipated, and the corners of his mouth curled into a scheming smile. "Brat, let me teach you something. The older the ginger, the spicier it is."
Shen Tingxi frowned slightly and retorted coldly, "If you dare to touch my people, I don't mind letting you rest in peace." After saying that, he walked toward the door without looking back.
"You …" Shen Jiuyan was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He pointed a trembling finger at Shen Tingxi's back. "You bastard who deserves to be struck by lightning!"
Shen Tingxi had just walked out of the door when he saw Ju Qiulan rushing over anxiously. She asked, "Your father didn't hit you, did he?"
Shen Tingxi put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued walking forward. "Do you think I'm still the ignorant child from before?"
Ju Qiulan looked at Shen Tingxi from head to toe. Seeing that there were no signs of injury, she heaved a sigh of relief. Yes, her son had grown up. He had grown up to be an indomitable man who could protect her. When she thought of how Shen Tingxi had ordered people to hit Hu Xin 'er, Ju Qiulan's mood was especially good. She felt relieved.
Ju Qiulan followed Shen Tingxi to the door of the old mansion. She thought of something else and the smile on her face faded. She asked Shen Tingxi, "You hit Nana?"
Mu Ning Jing's call came at this moment.
When Shen Tingxi saw the caller ID, the anger on his face dissipated. Mu Ning Jing rarely called him. When he saw the two words "Ningning", he thought of her quiet and peaceful appearance. His heart couldn't help but soften. When he answered the call, Mu Ning Jing's soft voice sounded through the phone. "Tingxi, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten. How about you?"
"I've eaten too. Are you … busy right now?"
Shen Tingxi looked worried. "What's wrong? Are you looking for me? "
"No, I just … wanted to see you."
Shen Tingxi's thin lips curved slightly. "You miss me?"
"I … I'm hanging up …"
"I'll be right back."
"Okay."
Ju Qiulan stood to the side. Although she couldn't hear what Shen Tingxi said over the phone, it wasn't hard to guess who it was from his tone and expression. Seeing that Shen Tingxi had hung up, Ju Qiulan immediately said coldly, "You're not allowed to see Mu Ning Jing. Come with me to apologize to Nana."
Shen Tingxi frowned and looked at Ju Qiulan. "Mom, are you having a fever? When have you ever seen me apologize to anyone? "
"…" Ju Qiulan was stunned by Shen Tingxi's words. She grabbed her son who was about to turn and leave. "Tingxi, you know Nana's status. How could you hit her? If the Yu family finds out about this, you'll be in big trouble. "
Shen Tingxi frowned. If it wasn't for the Yu family, he wouldn't have allowed Yu Anna to stay by his side. He didn't touch Yu Anna not because he was afraid of the Yu family, but because he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. If he really got into a fight with the Yu family, it would be troublesome. But now that Yu Anna dared to touch his woman, he wasn't afraid of getting into trouble.
"Don't worry about my business. I know what I'm doing." Shen Tingxi pulled his arm away and strode forward.
"Tingxi …" Ju Qiulan wanted to say something, but Shen Tingxi had already gotten into the car. He turned the car around and quickly disappeared from her sight.
Ju Qiulan stood in place for a while, then turned and entered the old house. She had to tell Shen Jiuyan about this matter. Fortunately, Yu Anna had only come to her to complain tearfully and hid it from the family. If Elder Yu knew about this, it would be terrible.
When Shen Tingxi and Elder Yu met, it was like a bandit meeting an official's lord. Although this analogy was a bit unpleasant to hear, it was indeed the case.
…
Shen Tingxi felt that there was something wrong with Mu Ning Jing these few days. In the past, she almost never called him. Now, she called him several times a day. It wasn't anything important. She just asked if he had eaten and what he was doing. She didn't say much each time. Sometimes, she would only say one or two sentences before hanging up.
Although he was very happy that Mu Ning Jing cared so much about him, it was very unusual for someone as quiet and reserved as her to act like this. Shen Tingxi was worried, so he asked the person who secretly protected Mu Ning Jing about who Mu Ning Jing had met recently and if there was anything unusual about her.
The result was that she went to and from work as usual. There was nothing unusual. However, on the second day after Mu Ning Jing moved to Qin Garden, Mu Yiqing came.
He came around ten in the morning and left before one in the afternoon. He should be having lunch in Qin Garden.
Mu Ning Jing had a quiet personality and didn't like to interact with strangers. However, she was able to be alone with Mu Yiqing for several hours and even asked him to stay for lunch. Although Shen Tingxi knew that Mu Ning Jing didn't have any feelings for Mu Yiqing, he was most likely closer to Mu Ning Jing because Mu Ning Jing's mother was his first love.
However, Shen Tingxi was still unhappy. Regardless of age or motive, as long as the other party was of the opposite sex and Mu Ning Jing was too close to them, his heart would ache. No, even if they were of the same sex, he would still be unhappy.
