C50

Everyone at the table looked at Shen Muqiao's and Lu Tingyou's love affair. Old Lady Shen didn't say anything and could only sigh. She didn't want to say anything about Shen Muqiao's granddaughter, so she had nothing to say.

An awkward and weird dinner came to an end. Old Lady Shen took the lead and left the main hall.

Shen Family people all held reservations towards Qin Ruochu, and before everyone left, they would take one more look at Qin Ruochu. Qin Ruochu would calmly face it, and ignore the contempt and disdain in their eyes.

"Ice Mountain Beauty, let's go. We can have coffee together next time …" Shen Shuzhou was talking to Qin Ruochu while tossing the keys one by one like a dissolute young master. The smiling expression in his eyes made Qin Ruochu somewhat conflicted.

She didn't like to talk to such frivolous people. Qin Ruochu always felt that this frivolous man who didn't speak a single word was hiding something even deeper than what he appeared to be.

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? Ignore him, he's the most annoying …" Shen Muqiao held Qin Ruochu's hand and said as she looked at Shen Shuzhou's leaving figure.

Qin Ruochu was not interested in Shen Shuzhou's identity, nor did she want to know about it. Thus, she retracted her gaze.

"Are you full?" Qin Ruochu raised her eyebrows and asked Shen Muqiao. Shen Muqiao just so happened to burp without any care for her image. She patted her round belly. "I'm full, it's so heavy …"

Qin Ruochu was amused by Shen Muqiao's expression. Thinking back to the dinner table, she had eaten more than Qin Ruochu and Shen Musheng. She couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. She didn't expect Shen Muqiao to be so good at eating even though she looked thin.

"Sister-in-law …" Are you laughing at me? " Shen Muqiao replied in a slow and slow manner.

Shen Muqiao's IQ dropped lower and lower as she slowly got bigger and bigger. Now, even Qin Ruochu, who was making such an obvious joke out of it, reacted for a long time.

Qin Ruochu couldn't help but laugh. "No, I was just joking …"

Shen Muqiao didn't really argue with Qin Ruochu. She smiled and was about to drag Qin Ruochu out for a walk in the garden.

"Let's go. I just finished eating. My stomach is already full. Let's go for a walk in the garden …" Shen Muqiao said to Qin Ruochu while holding Lu Tingyou's hand.

Qin Ruochu naturally agreed. "That's good. When I was walking in the garden during the day, I was thinking that the night scenery should be more beautiful. That's good. Let's go take a look now …" As she said that, Qin Ruochu pulled Shen Musheng's hand.

Shen Musheng originally planned to go back to his room after dinner to take care of his work, but seeing that Qin Ruochu was in such high spirits, he agreed.

Qin Ruochu was, after all, still young. She was about the same age as Shen Muqiao and her companion. At this moment, she had already abandoned the two boring men at the back and was jabbering along the way, enjoying the night scenery.

Shen Musheng and Lu Tingyou walked behind the two women and followed at a leisurely pace, keeping the distance between them within ten meters. This way, he would be able to observe their little women and chat about things that he didn't need to let these little women know about.

For example, business matters, "I've already investigated this incident. As for the matter … "It has something to do with Second Uncle, but I haven't found out what it is yet. I'll need time …"

Lu Tingyou's gaze was still fixed on Shen Muqiao, who was ten steps away. He said indifferently that the topic of Qin Ruochu's sudden appearance in the garden in the afternoon had been brought up again at this moment.

"En, I'm not surprised he intervened in the slightest …" Shen Musheng also said lightly.

The topic ended just like that. Lu Tingyou looked away from Shen Muqiao and glanced at the man beside him, "How's the preparations going? When do I make a move? "Also, don't you worry about your family member …" As she spoke, her gaze drifted towards Qin Ruochu.

Shen Musheng narrowed his cold eyes, "It has been prepared long ago. It's just that the timing is not right. I have to be 100% sure to make my move …" As for this girl … " Speaking of Qin Ruochu, Shen Musheng's gaze softened a little.

"Even though she looks weak on the surface, her heart is extremely strong. Too much is not enough yet, but I feel that after going through some things, she will definitely grow a lot. Perhaps … "You can become the person beside me …" Shen Musheng said and then stopped talking.

When Lu Tingyou heard Shen Musheng's words, he was a little surprised. He turned around and glanced at Shen Musheng, "You're being serious?" Shen Musheng also looked back at him but did not reply. Instead, he continued to follow the figure in front of him.

"..." Are you serious? " Shen Musheng retracted his gaze. He had once thought about this, but … If he didn't get a good result, perhaps he wouldn't dare to be too concerned about it now.

While they were talking, they had unknowingly reached the depths of the garden. They could faintly hear some sounds.

Qin Ruochu and Shen Muqiao were talking so they didn't pay much attention. Shen Musheng and Lu Tingyou, who had excellent hearing, could already hear them. However, they didn't have much of a reaction. They continued walking forward.

While she was speaking, Qin Ruochu heard a clear sound of a bowl being broken or a plate being broken.

The smile on Qin Ruochu's face froze. "Err …" "Did you hear anything?" The sound of porcelain breaking was followed by the sharp sound of a woman's voice. If the sound of a broken bowl could be ignored, then they couldn't ignore the clear sound of a quarrel because it was too clear.

"Someone seems to be arguing …"

Qin Ruochu was stunned for a moment before replying. Only then did Shen Muqiao realize that she had chatted too happily with Qin Ruochu along the way. She hadn't expected that they had already reached the depth of the garden where Ye Zhenhua lived.

"Aiya, it's nothing. I think it's just the servants creating a conflict. Let's go back, it won't be worth watching if we go further in …" Shen Muqiao seemed to have reacted in an instant, pulling Qin Ruochu by the hand and was about to return to where they came from.

"Stop pretending to be nice here, who are you showing it to? Get out, get out! " Qin Ruochu had just taken a step when she heard a voice she seemed to have heard somewhere before. However, she was not sure.

Thus, she stopped her steps. Shen Muqiao had no choice but to turn around and look at Shen Musheng beside her. Seeing that Shen Musheng had no other reactions, she could only stand on the spot.

It turned out that Ye Zhenhua's courtyard was a green belt away from where they were standing.

The sound of the argument came from inside. Qin Ruochu didn't notice the abnormality in Shen Muqiao and Shen Musheng. She walked around the green belt because she was curious and saw the people in the yard.

Although it was still a distance away, Qin Ruochu recognized it at first glance. The woman who had made that shrill noise just now was the strange woman she had met on her way to the garden this morning.
