Chapter 387 - 387 Meeting One Ruse With Another

387 Meeting One Ruse With Another

Shen Yuansong immediately put on his far-sighted glasses and took the information file from the butler’s hand. After that, his gaze instantly landed on Jing Zhen’s photo.

A pair of peach blossom eyes containing a half-smile within could be seen. Although this was just a casual photo on the internet, it exuded mesmerizing charm.

His lips were curled slightly upward, and he emitted an evil aura.

This level of beauty that contained both righteousness and evil seemed to be jumping out of him despite it only being a printed photo.

Shen Ruojing only bore a 60% to 70% resemblance to Jing Zhen, but her aura was different. She was much calmer and colder. But even so, her looks could be considered ’empire-toppling’.

As for Jing Zhen himself, he could simply depend on his looks to feed himself. He was in his forties and had yet to reach 50 years old. So, he didn’t seem old at all and instead had a streak of maturity in his looks, causing him to give off a more intriguing feel compared to Shen Ruojing.

One could say that he was the best-looking person that Shen Yuansong had ever seen.

No wonder his daughter would fall to his charms…

Shen Yuangsong surveyed the gigolo’s features and felt that it looked very similar to the big shot he knew. However, after paying close attention, it suddenly didn’t seem familiar at all.

Speaking of which, that big shot was the leader of the four families in the past, but the person who actually came in contact with him the most was none other than that old fellow, Bai Wei.

As for the rest of them, they had only met that big shot from afar.

Shen Yuansong only recalled that the big shot wore a silver mask, and the peach blossom eyes he revealed contained endless depth, causing those who looked at them to feel fear and reverence.

Sadly, that big shot suddenly vanished around twenty-plus years ago and no one could find him. It seemed only Bai Wei knew where he had gone.

Although Jing Zhen was good-looking, his gaze contained a type of clear simple-mindedness. He was definitely not that big shot.

Shen Yuansong felt silent disappointment and then tossed the photo to the side. “Gigolo!”

Hearing this, the butler couldn’t help but speak up for Jing Zhen. “Even if he is a gigolo, he is the best-looking gigolo in this world.”

Shen Yuansong immediately replied, “…That’s true, if not, how is it possible for him to give birth to Jingjing who is so beautiful?”

The butler. “?”

(Jingjing?)

Just when he wanted to reply, Shen Yuansong’s countenance suddenly changed as he slipped.

The butler immediately stepped forward to support him.

Just as the butler wanted to speak, Shen Yuansong shook his head. “Don’t tell Jingjing.”

His body was already akin to an almost fully extinguished candle.

Other than that legendary divine doctor who had methods to extend his life, there were no other solutions left.

Since that was the case, he had to pave the way properly for his granddaughter before he died.

–

On the other hand, after the two brothers left Old Master Shen’s room, they exchanged glances and went to Shen Chong’s room together.

Shen Zhong fell silent for a moment before he spoke, “Second brother, do you feel that uncle’s attitude today is different from the past?”

Shen Chong nodded. “Before this, he would feel more helpless rather than angry by how we were running the family business. But today, he didn’t seem worried about that. He seemed to be confident that even without us, he would still be able to manage things.”

Shen Zhong frowned.

At this moment, Shen Jiayi entered, and after seeing that the two of them were chatting, her lips twitched as she prepared to leave. But after that, she seemed to recall something and turned to Shen Chong. “Father, granduncle’s body seems to be getting increasingly weaker. I saw his hands trembling badly today.”

She left after saying that.

Those who said things had no other intentions, but those who listened might have other plots in their mind.

Shen Zhong and Shen Chong immediately shared a look. Shen Chong suddenly spoke, “Brother, uncle seemed to regard Chu Cichen very highly. He is so old that he is muddle-headed and even told us not to continue producing the special medicine. He also seemed to have the intention of sparing the Chu Family…Since uncle’s health isn’t good, the two of us should show more care for him. Do you think we should speak with his team of doctors?”

Shen Yuansong naturally had a medical team of his own.

The leading doctor was their family doctor whom he had used for many years. His original doctor had passed away, and the current one was the son of the previous doctor.

After the family doctor finished doing a check-up on Shen Yuansong’s body, he ran into Shen Zhong and Shen Chong on the way to the car park.

The two of them shared a glance before looking at the family doctor. “Doctor Li, how is my uncle’s condition?”

Doctor Li wanted to say something, but Shen Chong immediately took a step forward and interjected, “Uncle is already so old now, and the two of us are the Shen Family’s future. I’m sure Doctor Li knows what to choose?”

Doctor Li paused as a look of struggle and hesitation was revealed in his eyes. After a while, he pursed his lips and sighed. “The Old Master’s body is really not too good…”

Shen Zhong was agitated and he immediately asked, “How much longer does he have left?”

Doctor Li lowered his eyes. “His body has not been good lately, and he is forcibly eking out his existence every day…if the supply of his medicine is stopped, I’m afraid he won’t be able to persist.”

“Medicine?” Shen Zhong asked, “What medicine?”

Doctor Li seemed to have divulged this accidentally and he immediately frowned.

Shen Chong spoke, “Doctor Li, my uncle has to depend on medicine to prolong his life, but my big brother is still in his prime. Moreover, my uncle has no descendants, so…have you thought about your own future?”

Doctor Li pressed his lips together and seemed to have made a decision. He looked at Shen Chong. “Old Master has to consume the Heart Protecting Pills every day to extend his life. If his supply is stopped, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive…”

Heart Protecting Pill!

Shen Zhong’s eyes violently narrowed. “Things have reached such a stage?”

Doctor Li sighed.

Shen Zhong and Shen Chong shared a glance before both stepped out of the way.

Only then did Doctor Li leave.

After he left, the two brothers looked at each other. When they recalled Shen Yuansong’s earlier confidence and nonchalant behavior, Shen Zhong gritted his teeth. “Should we give it our all and do it?”

Compared to his big brother, Shen Chong was more afraid of Old Master Shen.

His big brother Shen Zhong wasn’t capable, so in the future, it would surely be easier for Shen Chong to seize the ownership of Shen Family from his brother compared to making their uncle satisfied with him.

...

Hence, Shen Chong contemplated and eventually nodded ruthlessly.

During that night.

The sky was dark and the winds were fierce.

Shen Yuansong was in his room, and there were tubes attached to his nose. He lay on his back and the various medical machines at the side were currently operating.

All of a sudden, the door of his room was pushed open by someone.

Shen Zhong and Shen Chong both tiptoed quietly in.

After they found the Heart Protecting Pills in their uncle’s medical box, they replaced all of them with vitamins. After that, the two of them turned and slowly walked to the entrance as they prepared to leave.

But at this moment, an aged voice rang out from the bed. “The two of you have truly disappointed me!”

After they heard this, both Shen Zhong and Shen Chong froze before they quickly turned their heads.

They saw the originally ‘weak’ Shen Yuansong had both his eyes opened. He slowly sat up and took down the oxygen mask that was fixed on his mouth.

As his voice rang out, the butler led a few guards and a lawyer over.

...

When Shen Zhong saw this, his knees grew soft and he knelt immediately.

Shen Chong looked at the lawyer before turning to Shen Zhong and finally glancing at Shen Yuansong. He then laughed. “Uncle, what are you doing? You have to know that me and my big brother are your only successors! Can it be that you are not going to care about the Shen Family’s future?”
