Chapter 554 One or two come to drink tea (1)
The high-pitched voice condenses the atmosphere in the living room instantly.
Three eyes were cast on Shen Xiran, with different expressions.
Realizing his gaffe, Shen Xiran took a deep breath, regained his composure, and apologized to Mr. Shen.
Then, she continued, "Grandpa, Gu Qingning is now charged with murder. The Fu family recognized her before, but it doesn't mean that the Fu family is still willing to recognize her after such a thing happened."
A famous family like theirs pays most attention to face and reputation.
"Dad, what Xiran said actually makes sense." Hu Shuang watched the old man's face, and spoke cautiously. "Regardless of the family background, or the family friendship between our Shen family and the Fu family for many years, if Gu Qingning hadn't suddenly appeared, the position of the young mistress of the Fu family would definitely belong to Xiran in our family."
As expected of a mother and daughter, their brain circuits are exactly the same.
Old Master Shen glanced at her, and then returned to Shen Xiran.
After pondering for a moment, he asked her, "Whether Gu Qingning killed someone or not, the police are still investigating. How can you be sure that Gu Qingning will be convicted?"
Sharp eyes shot at her, with penetrating power to see everything, Shen Xiran's expression changed, and he lost his voice for a moment.
After a while, she argued, "Now there are witnesses and material evidence, and people outside are rumoring that Gu Qingning killed his own sister. There is no storm without waves. Presumably the rumors should be true."
However, no matter how good she is at telling lies, she can't escape Mr. Shen's eyes.
He straightened his face and said in a serious tone, "Tell me the truth, does Gu Qingning's matter have anything to do with you?"
When the words came out, Shen Jin and Hu Shuang were shocked.
Shen Xiran looked directly at Mr. Shen, and denied it without changing his expression, "No."
Hearing this, Hu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and blamed the old man for wronging her daughter from the bottom of her heart.
She turned her face, looked at the old man, and said, "Dad, how could this matter have anything to do with this? Besides, I heard that Gu Qingning acted arrogantly and had a heart of snakes and scorpions. It's her business to kill people, and it can't be Xi Then force her to kill someone."
Master Shen frowned, and Shen Jinya gave Hu Shuang a warning look, signaling her not to interrupt.
Hu Shuang was a little annoyed, but because of the majesty of Mr. Shen, she reluctantly kept silent.
After a brief silence, old man Shen's hoarse voice sounded in the living room, "I heard that Gu Wanwan is Gu Qingning's half-sister, so what if Gu Qingning really killed her, the Gu family issued a statement to prove her innocence, that's enough It proves how much the Gu family value Gu Qingning."
Shen Xiran lowered his head slightly, quietly listening to old master Shen's words.
"Who is Fu Juncheng, the blood on his hands can be less, do you really think that the person he likes can be innocent and weak?"
"Xi Ran, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things."
Shen Xiran clenched her fists tightly, her lowered eyelids concealed the viciousness at the bottom of her eyes.
At this time, the servant walked in.
"Patriarch, two Mr. Gu came to visit."
Mr. Gu?
Shen Jin frowned, and looked sideways at the servant, "What is Mr. Gu, what's his name?"
The servant lowered his head and said respectfully, "One is Gu Che and the other is Gu Zhao."
Gu Che and Gu Zhao are both well-known public figures, just based on their faces, no need to announce their names, everyone knows who they are.
Shen Xiran's heart tightened, what are they doing here?
Hu Shuang was in the circle of wives, well-informed with gossip, and immediately knew the identities of Gu Che and the two from the servant's words.
She wondered, "Aren't they Gu Qingning's elder brother? What are they doing at our house?"
"Please come in." Mr. Shen said.
The servant retreated silently, and Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "Xi Ran, let me ask you one last time, does the matter of Gu Qingning have anything to do with you?"
Shen Xiran's eyes flickered, but he still refused to admit it, "No."
Master Shen took a deep look at her and didn't ask any more questions.
Besides, Shen Jin noticed something unusual from the old man's repeated questions to Shen Xiran.
The Shen family and the Gu family have never had much friendship. Gu Qingning's brother suddenly came to the door, there must be something tricky about it.
Without waiting for him to guess, the servant led Gu Che and the two into the living room.
Because of Fu Juncheng, Shen Xiran is no stranger to Gu Zhao.
Although they didn't know the reason for their visit, Shen Xiran still had a consistent smile on his face and greeted, "Gu Zhao, why are you here, sit down quickly."
Gu Zhao already knew her true face, looking at the smile on her face, he felt hypocrisy.
Gu Che came over and sat down on the sofa without any restraint, "Come and have a cup of tea, and come to ask old master Shen a question."
Master Shen narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly, and asked the servant to serve tea to the two of them.
During the period, the servant came in to report again.
"Patriarch, the third young master of the Wen family is here."
People came one after another, Mr. Shen's heart skipped a beat, but he still sent a message to invite people in.
Gu Che and Gu Zhao exchanged glances, guessing somewhat of Wen Ye's intentions.
After a while, Wen Ye walked in swaggeringly, with a bit of unruly publicity in his brows.
He glanced at Gu Che and the two brothers, then turned to look at Mr. Shen, with a cynical smile in the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you still in good health?"
Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Mr. Shen met his gaze and smiled politely, "It's okay."
Gu Che looked at the man sitting next to him, and gave him a blank look.
Is he familiar with him? Why are you so close?
Shen Jin looked at Wen Ye, and asked tentatively, "Is there something for the third young master today?"
Although Wen Ye is young, he is of the same generation as him. He looks like a dude, but he is actually a stubborn stubble who doesn't play cards according to common sense.
Wen Ye crossed his legs and said casually, "Yes, let's have a cup of tea."
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Shen Jin's expression froze, and his eyes turned between Gu Che and Wen Ye.
Is the tea from their Shen family so delicious, one or two come to drink tea.
Shen Jin suddenly remembered the relationship between the three of them, and couldn't help but wonder.
Wen's family doesn't want to see the family surnamed Gu? Looking at it now, it seems that the rumors are wrong.
Gu Che's thin lips moved slightly, and his tone was calm and authentic, "I heard that Mr. Shen is highly respected and has always disciplined his family members well. I have a question to ask."
Master Shen looked calm, waiting for his next words.
Gu Che said again, "Mr. Shen, you said that if a person secretly framed and wronged another person by some indecent means, how should this person be dealt with?"
On the opposite side, Shen Xiran's eyes dimmed, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.
Master Shen didn't answer immediately, he glanced at Shen Xiran out of the corner of his eye, and probably guessed Gu Che's reason for coming.
Without waiting for him to speak, Wen Ye took the words with a playful tone, "It depends on the situation, for example, why did that person use these dirty tricks?"
