"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 to talk to the protagonist.

Anyway, even if he had done something wrong, Shen Can did not think the protagonist 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 was the point of a verbal apology?

Before long, the other male lead would see this and accuse him of bullying the protagonist. Speak of the devil, and the devil arrived. 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 clicked his tongue speechlessly and stepped in front of Shen Can.

"I saw it with both eyes! You made Keke cry, and that still doesn't count as bullying? Do you have to hit him before it counts? Is this the quality of your Shen Household?" Zhou Jingxuan said furiously.

Those two eyes of yours must both be blind. Not only are your eyes blind, but so is your heart. That's truly terrifying. Just as everyone was rendered utterly speechless, Shen Can's inner thoughts made them want to laugh instead.

"How the Shen Household conducts itself is none of your business. At the very least, we don't question people recklessly before getting the facts straight, and we don't shout and yell in public." Shen Ze walked up to Shen Can and spoke forcefully.

"Who's the one with no manners here? Those two roars of yours nearly deafened me. With a voice like that, you'd be better off shouting for your company's declining performance and plummeting stock price, see if you can warm them up a little." As Lu Shao spoke, he sauntered over and slung an arm around Shen Ze's shoulders.

When Zhou Jingxuan saw Lu Shao speak up, 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 a few capable older sisters and brothers-in-law?

He acted as though he were the greatest young master among A City's elite, looking down on everyone. Zhou Jingxuan remembered how he had once 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 the two 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, let him hold a grudge if he wants. 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 in anger over the nickname, Lu Shao smiled and reached out to pinch his cheek. Shen Ze's face really was so good-looking, even when he was angry and glaring at someone.

So this is how Second Brother and Lu Shao get along at school too? No wonder the CP rankings still have the two of you on them even now. Shen Can silently thought as he watched their interaction.

Hearing Shen Can's thoughts, Lu Shao wanted to ask what this CP ranking was. This was the second time it had been mentioned. Were Shen Ze and he on it?

They had both graduated ages ago, yet they were still on it. But if they were on a ranking, shouldn't it be the brotherhood ranking? They were the best brothers in the world.

They had shared a dorm since they were sixteen and in high school, then shared one again in college. They were practically destined to be together. They ate together every day, played games together, and occasionally even scrubbed each other's backs in the bath.

Moreover, Shen Ze and he got along unexpectedly well, even though they liked almost entirely different things.

Was it because Shen Ze had become busy establishing his design company in college? Then he no longer went to watch Lu Shao play basketball every day like he had in middle school. Others could not see how close they were, so that was why they had not made the brotherhood ranking?

People could not see their daily interactions in the dorm either, nor could they see him accompanying Shen Ze while he worked at his design company.

He and Shen Ze had missed out on a ranking. What a pity. The title of the best brothers in the world should have resounded throughout their former university.

It was all because he had never paid much attention to the school forums. With that time, he would rather play basketball, go street racing, or box for a while. There were too many things he was interested in, and he had never thought forums were interesting. Thinking about it now, he had really missed out.

Shen Ze had no idea what Lu Shao was thinking. He also did not know that Lu Shao could hear Shen Can's inner thoughts. 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 thoughts. But it was too strange. If he suddenly said he could hear Shen Ze's little brother's thoughts, Shen Ze might think he was messing with him.

Forget it. He should not say anything carelessly. He would wait until he came up with a convincing explanation, one that would make Shen Ze believe he was not joking around.

The noise became a little much for Shen Can, and he noticed the flow of people in the banquet hall beginning to stir. He sprang to his feet. "Mom, I'm going to see what happened."

The ultimate juicy scandal, here I come—the real-life wicked stepmother drama. Just imagine it: Mom and Dad aren't home, let me come inside. Your dad's gone, let's continue. That kind of dialogue would be so thrilling. And their surname is Wang too. They can even call him Old Wang Next Door's son. Sigh, I'm so awful.

After Shen Can spoke, he waited for someone to say okay. Instead, everyone came with him. His family did not seem like the type to enjoy watching drama, and he could understand Lu Shao tagging along, but why was Huo Xi interested in watching the excitement too?

Huo Xi was not actually interested in this matter. He had heard plenty of family scandals, including ones even more bizarre than this.

He was simply interested in Shen Can. How did Shen Can know about this? Had he heard about it somewhere beforehand?

Wow, wow, wow, it's already started. Oh, that really is one huge bed. Sigh, is it bad that I'm this excited? This feels a little too awful.

Those who could hear Shen Can's thoughts wanted to say that at least he knew it.

But this President Wang isn't a good person either. He cheated while his wife was pregnant, driving his first wife into depression until she died, while their child was stillborn. Less than two months later, he immediately brought the mistress and the son she had borne him home.

Later, he kept cheating and even brought several illegitimate children home to raise. The mistress endured it for a long time before being angered to death too. Then he married his current wife, only for his eldest son to get together with someone else. Serves him right.

They took back what they had wanted to say. Their Can Can was not awful at all. Old Master Wang truly deserved it.

"I fed you and clothed you, and you got involved with your stepmother. How can you possibly face me?" Old Master Wang roared at his eldest son, his face red with rage.

Then he turned to the woman on the bed and said, "I gave you the status of Mrs. Wang Household and let you live a life you never had before. Is this how you repay me?"

The surrounding guests all felt that Old Master Wang was rather pitiful. He was already old enough to be holding grandchildren, yet something like this had happened. Only the people around the Shen Household wore ordinary expressions, showing no pity for Old Master Wang.
