"Forget it. You don't need to explain yourself to me. We can't communicate." After saying that, Shen Can had no intention of continuing the conversation with the main character.
After all, even if he had done something wrong, Shen Can did not think the main character would believe he was at fault. If he truly wanted to apologize, he should at least ask whether Shen Can had been hurt or fallen ill, or offer compensation. What use was a verbal apology?
The male lead would probably see this later and accuse Shen Can of bullying him. Speak of the devil, and the devil appeared. Sure enough, an angry roar rang out. "Why are you bullying Keke? He only bumped into you. Keke didn't do it on purpose."
"Tsk. Which eye of yours saw my little brother bullying him?" Shen Chi stepped in front of Shen Can and clicked his tongue speechlessly.
"I saw it with both eyes! You drove Keke to tears, and that doesn't count as bullying? Does someone have to get beaten before it counts? Is this the kind of upbringing the Shen Household has?" Zhou Jingxuan said furiously.
[Both your eyes are blind. Not only are your eyes blind, but your heart is blind too. That's truly terrifying.] Shen Can's inner voice came at a moment when everyone was rendered utterly speechless, making them want to laugh instead.
"How the Shen Household conducts itself is none of your business. At the very least, we do not question people recklessly without first learning the truth, nor do we shout in public." Shen Ze walked up to Shen Can and spoke forcefully.
"Who's the one without manners here? Those two roars of yours nearly deafened me. With that voice of yours, you might as well go holler for your company's declining performance and plunging stock prices, see if you can warm them back up a little." As he spoke, Lu Shao sauntered over and casually draped an arm around Shen Ze's shoulders.
When Zhou Jingxuan saw Lu Shao speak, he said nothing more. He had nothing to say to someone like Lu Shao. Wasn't Lu Shao just relying on his excellent family background and his few formidable older sisters and brothers-in-law?
He acted as though he were the greatest young master among A City's wealthy families, looking down on everyone. Zhou Jingxuan remembered how he had once deliberately tried to befriend him, only for Lu Shao to act unbearably arrogant. Zhou Jingxuan pulled Shen Keke away. They still had things to do.
After they left, Shen Ze removed Lu Shao's hand from his shoulder before saying, "Why did you speak up? This is our family's business. Be careful they don't hold a grudge against you because of what you said."
"What are you saying, Little Ze? Isn't your business your brother's business? Have you forgotten the revolutionary friendship we forged after sharing a dorm for so many years? Besides, if he holds a grudge, then let him. If he has the guts, he can come cause trouble for me." Lu Shao would not allow Shen Ze to treat him like an outsider.
Shen Ze glared at Lu Shao. "Who are you calling Little Ze?" Seeing Shen Ze glare at him over that nickname, Lu Shao smiled and reached out to pinch Shen Ze's cheek. Shen Ze's face was truly beautiful, even when he was angry and glaring at someone.
[Is this how Second Brother and Lu Shao interacted at school too? No wonder the two of you are still on the CP rankings.] Shen Can silently thought as he watched them interact.
Hearing Shen Can's inner voice, Lu Shao wanted to ask what the CP rankings were. This was the second time Shen Can had mentioned them. Were Shen Ze and he on them?
They had both graduated ages ago, yet the rankings still had the two of them. But shouldn't they be on the brothers' rankings? They were inseparable brothers.
They had shared a dorm since high school at sixteen, and then shared one again in college. They were practically fated. They ate together every day, played games together, and occasionally even scrubbed each other's backs in the bathhouse.
Moreover, Shen Ze and he got along unexpectedly well, despite the fact that they liked almost completely different things.
Was it because Shen Ze had become busy establishing his design company in college? After that, Shen Ze no longer came to watch him play basketball every day as he had in middle school. Other people could not see how close they were, so that was why they had not made it onto the brothers' rankings.
People could not see their daily interactions in the dorm, nor could they see him accompanying Shen Ze at his design company while Shen Ze worked.
Shen Ze and he had missed out on a ranking. What a shame. Their name as inseparable brothers should have echoed throughout their former university.
It was all because he had never paid much attention to the school forums. Rather than spending time on that, he might as well have played basketball, gone street racing, or boxed for a while. There were too many things that interested him, and he had never thought the forums were interesting. Looking back now, he had really missed out.
Shen Ze had no idea what Lu Shao was thinking. He also did not know Lu Shao could hear Shen Can's inner voice. Otherwise, he probably would not have remained so calm right now.
Looking at Shen Ze sitting beside him, Lu Shao considered whether he should tell him that he could hear Shen Can's inner voice. But it was too strange. If he suddenly said that he could hear Shen Ze's younger brother's thoughts, Shen Ze might think he was teasing him.
Forget it. He should not say anything carelessly. He would wait until he had figured out what to say and could convince Shen Ze that he was not messing with him.
The noise was beginning to bother Shen Can. Seeing the flow of people in the banquet hall start to stir, he abruptly stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to see what happened."
[The ultimate juicy scandal, here I come. A real-life stepmother melodrama. Just imagine it happened: "Mom and Dad aren't home, let me in." "Your father's gone. Let's continue." This kind of dialogue is so thrilling. And their surname is Wang too—someone could even say, 'Old Wang next door is my son.' Sigh, I'm truly too wicked.]
After Shen Can finished speaking, he waited for someone to say okay. Instead, everyone prepared to go with him. His family did not seem like people who loved watching drama. He could understand Lu Shao coming along, but why was Huo Xi interested in watching the excitement too?
Huo Xi truly had no interest in this matter. He had heard no shortage of family scandals, including ones far more bizarre than this.
He was simply interested in Shen Can. How did Shen Can know about this? Had he somehow learned of it in advance?
[Wow, wow, wow, it's already started. Oh, that really is one huge bed. Sigh, is it bad that I'm this excited? This is a little too wicked.]
Those who could hear Shen Can's inner voice wanted to say that he knew it too.
[But this President Wang isn't a good person either. He cheated during his wife's pregnancy, driving his first wife into depression until she died, while the child was stillborn. Less than two months later, he immediately brought home his mistress and the son she had borne him.]
[After that, he kept cheating and even brought several illegitimate children home to raise. The mistress endured for a long time before she too was angered to death. Then he married his current wife, only for his eldest son to get involved with someone else. Serves him right.]
They took back what they had just wanted to say. Their Can Can was not wicked at all. Old Master Wang truly deserved this.
"I fed you and clothed you, and you got involved with your stepmother. How could you do this to me?" Old Master Wang roared at his eldest son, his face flushed crimson.
At the same time, he said to the woman on the bed, "I gave you the status of Madam of the Wang Household and let you live a life you never had before. Is this how you repay me?"
The people around them all found Old Master Wang somewhat pitiful. He was already at the age where he should be holding grandchildren, yet something like this had happened. Only the group from the Shen Household wore ordinary expressions, showing no sign of pity for Old Master Wang.
