"Shen Family, famous family, big family, many natural persons, when there are many people, they will naturally have conflicts of interest. Some people are jealous of my brother's status and identity, and think that my brother is not easy to deal with, so they always give him trouble. And some people try to find ways to get some benefits from my brother and treat him as a money cow, so, on the surface, my brother looks glorious, but actually, it's hard work for him in this position. "
Shen Muqiao frowned. Other than her, who else in this family didn't have goals and motives?
Qin Ruochu was a little surprised. She thought that Shen Musheng was sometimes too tired to talk and sometimes he came home in a bad mood. It was probably because of this that she suddenly felt a pang in her heart.
"Who wants to make things difficult for Musheng, and who is trying to get benefits from him?" Qin Ruochu asked with a frown, her voice carrying an unknown seriousness.
Shen Muqiao glanced at Qin Ruochu, "Aside from me, everyone with Shen Family …"
Qin Ruochu's frown deepened.
Qin Ruochu's frown did not loosen even when they arrived at Shen Muqiao's room and Shen Muqiao fell deeply asleep.
Qin Ruochu turned her head to look at Shen Muqiao beside her. She was already breathing deeply and had fallen asleep. Qin Ruochu gently turned her body over, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
She fought with her eyes and couldn't help thinking about what Shen Muqiao had just told her, "Shen Family …" Just what kind of family is it? " Qin Ruochu whispered.
Everyone living in Cloud City knew that Shen Family was the most powerful family in the entire Cloud City, they held the business lifeline of Cloud City, they had a large background, and their roots were very deep. From the time of Grandfather Shen Musheng's generation, they had already shocked the business world, and had continued until today.
Of course, in the span of a hundred years, the Shen Family had naturally sunk as well. However, all of this was only temporary, and in next to no time, the Shen Family had once again returned to its peak, becoming even more vigorous than at its peak.
In Qin Ruochu's impression, she only knew that Shen Family had power and power and status, she didn't know that there was such a serious internal conflict within the Shen Family, and Shen Musheng was actually the person standing at the heart of the struggle.
Thinking about it, Qin Ruochu suddenly remembered that there were a few times when Shen Musheng mentioned Shen Family to her, but they all seemed to hesitate. Now that Qin Ruochu understood the reason, she gradually started to have a vague outline, and she faintly felt that Shen Family was not a simple business family.
"Musheng, exactly how much helplessness and terror did you experience …" Qin Ruochu couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, in Old Lady Shen's yard, Shen Musheng was still standing straight in the hall while Old Lady Shen was leisurely drinking her tea on the soft couch.
Shen Musheng stood on the spot. He didn't know where the focus of his gaze was and didn't even look at Old Lady Shen.
After an unknown amount of time, Old Lady Shen raised her eyelids. When she saw Shen Musheng's fearless expression, she burst into flames of anger and smashed her teacup on the table.
"Do you still have me in your eyes!?" Now that your wings have hardened, you don't even put Shen Family in your eyes anymore. Look at the woman you brought back! You actually dare to bring such a woman to the Shen Family, and even said that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Shen Family, I … "Cough, cough, cough …" Old Lady Shen was quite angry. When she spoke of her excitement, she started to cough violently.
Only then did Shen Musheng slowly turn his gaze towards Old Lady Shen. His lips curled up into a cold smile that was even colder than indifference.
"Qin Ruochu is a woman that I like. I say she is good, she is good. Do you want to marry me, Shen Musheng, or you?" Shen Musheng Si did not give in.
"You think I won't investigate this woman? Hmph, Qin Family? Let's not talk about other things for now, just based on Cloud City alone, she cannot be counted as one. Moreover, she is a wild girl whose parents have both died. In Old Lady Shen's eyes, Qin Ruochu was worthless.
Shen Musheng closed his eyes and opened them again. It was a boundless coldness. He had heard enough of Qin Ruochu's mistakes today. Shen Musheng looked at Old Lady Shen with a cold and warning gaze.
It was Old Lady Shen's first time seeing such a dangerous look in Shen Musheng's eyes.
"..." You, don't forget, I'm you, Grandmother! Do you think I haven't nodded my head in agreement to your marriage? Hmph! "Even if you were married, do you think you'd be able to stay married for a long time?" Old Lady Shen sneered.
She was indeed afraid of Shen Musheng, but with the title of leader and Grandmother's position, she was still on a high pedestal, unshakable.
"The marriage is already concluded, and I will protect at all costs the people and things I believe to be right. Grandmother, I have been in the Shen Family for such a long time, you should know my true nature. " Shen Musheng shouted at Grandmother without any emotion, so the meaning in his words could not be any clearer.
"Shen Musheng!" Don't forget, if it weren't for me, if it wasn't for you, Grandmother, and I nodding our heads, would you be able to sit in today's seat? How can you have such a status? I also have to warn you, I can make you the one in charge of Shen Family, and I can also make you lose everything! " Old Lady Shen was so angry that her hands were shaking.
"Did you give me my seat today? Are you sure? How do I remember that back then when you asked me to come back from America, you threw me a dangerous, crumbling Shen Family? How come you're giving me everything now? " Shen Musheng's eyes were filled with ridicule. Although he didn't want to recall that part of the story, but since he had reached this point, he must speak clearly.
"You are the grandson of Shen Family, and you have the bloodline of Shen Family. You shouldn't work for Shen Family? This is what we should do, and besides... All the rights, status, etc. that you get from it, are they not what you want? " Old Lady Shen sneered.
"Heh, rights, status... Do you think everyone is like you, putting more importance on power and status than life? "
Back in the day, although Shen Musheng was still in school in the United States, he had already displayed a talent that ordinary people could not compare to.
Shen Musheng never went back to his country at all, nor did he have any plans to go back to Shen Family. Until one day, Shen Family sent a man to America to inform his father that he was very ill. Shen Musheng rushed back to the country. At that time, his father was already on the verge of death.
On the sickbed, his father grabbed Shen Musheng's sleeve with his weak hand. Tears were shining in his eyes.
"Musheng, I'm sorry your mom, I'm sorry you two siblings, but …" Please you must save Shen Family, there is no one left to carry on the journey, only you and your only blood, promise me, promise me! "
Shen Musheng still remembered how his father had begged him. That helplessness and despair, even if he hated Shen Family any more and was no longer willing to return to the cage of Shen Family. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
He was afraid that if he did not nod and agree, his father would die with everlasting regret …
