"Is giving me food and clothes enough? You drove my mother to her death, then brought back a whole bunch of illegitimate children to disgust us. So what if I did it on purpose to get back at you?"
"Besides, I learned it from you. Don't you lose control whenever you see a woman? You're no good yourself, so why would you expect your son to be any better?"
Old Master Wang felt utterly humiliated by his son's words. With so many people present, he was furious enough to curse, "Bastard!" and hurl his cane at him.
His son refused to back down and immediately grabbed something nearby and threw it back. There were plenty of things in the room, but not much in the hallway. Old Master Wang could only dodge while picking things up off the floor and throwing them back.
The moment Old Master Wang bent down, Shen Can's inner voice rang out. Here it comes. Our protagonist bottom is about to make his entrance. When Old Master Wang's strength gave out and he bent down, he was nearly hit. Luckily, the protagonist bottom blocked it for him.
After that, he became Old Master Wang's benefactor and received plenty of benefits. The Wang Household is considered wealthy, after all. Even if things get messy later, they can definitely still give Shen Keke something valuable.
That won't do. I've got it. Just as Shen Keke moved, Shen Can moved too. Pretending to be shoved out by the crowd, he casually bumped into Shen Keke. Shen Keke failed to save Old Master Wang and even fell himself, while Old Master Wang was struck on the forehead.
Still, a cup was not that large an object, so the situation was not too serious. And that was enough to make him a lifesaver? What an exaggeration. Shen Keke looked at Shen Can with tears in his eyes. "Why did you deliberately bump into me?"
"I didn't. I was shoved over too." Shen Can walked away after saying that, not bothering to listen to anything else Shen Keke had to say. Who could possibly find proof that he had done it on purpose?
Hehe, revenge served. You said you didn't hit me on purpose last time, but you really didn't let anyone save me, did you? Now we're even.
After thinking that, Shen Can ran toward his family and said, "Let's go home." They had seen enough excitement, and there was probably nothing else worth watching.
"Mm, it's getting late. It'd be better to go back and rest early." After Shen Yu said that, he arranged for a driver to pick them up.
At the entrance, Huo Xi set a time for their next meeting with Shen Yu beside his car before leaving first. On the way out, he had said he was very interested in Shen Corporation's new project. Shen Yu had long wanted to work with Huo Xi, so naturally, he would not refuse now that the opportunity had come.
Meanwhile, Lu Shao grabbed Shen Ze and refused to let him leave, saying he wanted to go to the Shen Household and sleep with Shen Ze. Shen Ze was thankful that his family had gone to say goodbye to Huo Xi and were some distance away from them, especially since Can Can was not here.
Otherwise, who knew what Can Can would think of, or what their family would think after hearing it? Thankfully, they were not around.
"Stop messing around. Go sleep at your own house." Shen Ze pushed down the arm Lu Shao had draped over his shoulder as he spoke.
Grabbing Shen Ze's arm, Lu Shao said angrily, "Are we still friends or not? It's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before."
"My family would find it strange if they saw us." The moment Shen Ze finished speaking, Lu Shao immediately retorted, "What's strange about it? There were two times when it was your birthday that I slept in your bed with you at your house. Uncle and Auntie never said anything."
That was before they had said anything. Who knew whether they would overthink things today after hearing Can Can's words?
But Shen Ze did not explain further. He simply said no. In the end, Lu Shao still could not come with them, because he did not want Shen Ze to truly get angry.
Shen Can spent the next several days quite comfortably. During the day, it was basically just him and Liu Yuwen at home. Shen Chi had gone out for a guest appearance in a drama.
Shen Yu had originally been busy with company matters, but Shen Father had also gone to the company quite often these past few days. Didn't the book say that Shen Father generally did not go to the company anymore?
But Shen Can did not ask. After all, what was written in the book might not necessarily be accurate. Second Brother was busy with his design company, while Fourth Brother occasionally went out during the day as well.
That night, Shen Can received an invitation to a new product launch from Shen Ze, who had returned home in the middle of the night. However, Shen Can only saw it the next morning. Shen Ze had probably seen that he was asleep and placed it on his bedside table.
Is it coming? Shen Ze's storyline. Since the Shen Household existed as villains, the exact timing of some things that happened to them was unknown.
When Shen Can came downstairs, he found everyone unusually gathered together. Seeing the clothes laid out on the sofa, he knew they were probably Shen Ze's company's new products.
Whenever new products were released, Shen Ze would first give them to his family. But why was Lu Shao here too? Well, Lu Shao being here was understandable, but why was Huo Xi here as well?
"Can Can, you're awake. Go eat breakfast first. Come pick out some clothes after you're done." Shen Ze smiled at Shen Can.
While they were eating, Shen Yao passed by on his way to the refrigerator to get a drink. Shen Can asked him and learned that Huo Xi had come to discuss business with Shen Yu.
The moment Shen Can finished eating and walked over to the sofa, Shen Ze pulled him over and pointed out several outfits that suited him, telling him to pick whichever one he liked.
After saying that, Shen Ze took out a box and opened it. Inside was an exquisitely crafted brooch, with a large sapphire in the center surrounded by several circles of diamonds. It looked exceptionally luxurious.
"Keep it, Can Can. This is Second Brother's gift to welcome you home." It was the most expensive piece in Shen Ze's latest jewelry collection, but he was not stingy in the slightest.
There were three other versions with differently colored gemstones that would be sold, and Shen Ze had even felt that this one was not unique enough. He had taken it home simply because he thought it looked beautiful, remembering that he had not yet given Shen Can a gift for returning home.
Yet now, he felt that it was not special enough. He should have designed one specifically for Can Can as a gift.
At the same time, the other three brothers realized that they seemed not to have given Shen Can anything either. Shen Can had fallen into the water as soon as he returned home, and then all sorts of things had happened, making them forget. Since Shen Ze had given him something, they needed to make up for it as soon as possible.
"Wow, Second Brother, you're so good to me. It's so beautiful. I really like it." Shen Can threw his arms around Shen Ze and spoke happily.
After thanking Shen Ze, Shen Can held the box in his hand and thought, You said you'd invest in me and gave me such an expensive gift. My handsome and generous Second Brother, this time, I'll protect you.
Your little brother definitely won't let you bear the accusations of suppressing new designers to keep them from succeeding, or plagiarizing other people's work.
It's this product launch. Liu Lei, the junior Second Brother kindly helped, and Hu Xue, a designer who has been at Second Brother's company for over three years, will join forces to set him up.
Hu Xue is also a designer at the company. When it was supposed to be her turn to go onstage and introduce her work and explain her design concept, the first thing she did after taking the stage was cry and say she had no work this time.
She said Second Brother had plagiarized her work, and that not only had he copied her designs, but he had also suppressed both her and another new designer, Liu Lei.
The launch was livestreamed. Although the bodyguards reacted quickly and dragged her off the stage, the event had already been ruined.
But Second Brother still forced himself to go onstage. He said that the innocent would prove themselves, then opened a USB drive to display his new products and explain his design concept for this collection.
But he never expected the USB drive to have been switched long ago. What played after it was inserted were several maliciously edited work conversations of Second Brother's. Because they had been edited, they sounded like audio of him constantly cursing people.
