Chapter 66: The Reason For Disliking Him
Alarmed by the loud sound of the door opening, the host and guests rushed to the scene of the incident and saw the girl holding the man's hand and talking softly.
The man who had always acted willfully in the base was looking at the girl with a smile. His mesmerizing eyes were as gentle as water. There was no trace of his usual indifference and willfulness.
The guests, "..." Gosh, had spring arrived? What was with this strong feeling of romance? People like Professor Si should always exude the aura of being single. What was happening now?
Looking at the broken door of his villa, Shen Lang's hand holding the cane trembled. After a long while, he said with a forced smile. "Professor Si, you’re here. Why didn't you arrange for someone to inform me? Haha, I’ve been negligent."
Si Xu glanced at the old man with a gloomy expression and forced smile, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Your smile is so ugly."
Shen Lang, "???" Look, look! This was why he didn't like Si Xu!
Who was the reason for his ugly smile? It was because he saw him, the God of Plague!
"I'm here to take Jiang Ran home." Fortunately, Si Xu did not continue to comment on Shen Lang's speech and actions. He held the girl's hand, scanned the people around him, and frowned. "Why are you guys blocking my way? Are you going to stop me?"
What a joke! Who dared to stop him? They were just watching the fun!
The group of people shook their heads in unison and dispersed in an instant.
Si Xu was pleased.
He held Jiang Ran's hand and walked downstairs without bothering to look at the old man again.
"Professor Si, please stay. I have something to talk to you about."
The guests tonight all knew that the Shen family and Si Xu were at odds. As soon as the Shen family acknowledged Jiang Ranran, Si Xu came to take her away violently by smashing the door.
If he let the two of them leave like that tonight, wouldn't the Shen family be completely embarrassed?
As an elder, especially Jiang Ranran's elder, Shen Lang personally asked Si Xu to stay. He thought Si Xu would consider it for Jiang Ranran's sake.
Unexpectedly, Si Xu didn't turn around but said straightforwardly, "You and I have nothing to talk about."
Shen Lang was rendered speechless and almost crushed the jade on the top of his cane. What a bastard!
When Jiang Ran saw Shen Lang's face turn pale and green, Jiang Ran's anger at being plotted by the old man was appeased. She lowered her head and pursed her lips gloating.
A person like Shen Lang who always cared about his image in front of outsiders couldn’t win against someone like Si Xu who was used to doing whatever he wanted.
While Jiang Ran was mocking, she saw Shen Yang pushing through the crowd at the top of the stairs and showing a surprised expression when he saw the two of them.
"Professor Si, Ranran?"
The young man smiled harmlessly and greeted Si Xu. "Professor Si, you’re here to pick up Ranran? Thank you for the trouble."
As soon as Shen Yang spoke, Jiang Ran knew that this man was far different from the silly eldest cousin in the original Jiang Ranran’s memory –– Jiang Ranran's memory of her cousin was really one-sided. She would probably count money for him happily after being sold by this smiling tiger.
He saved Shen Lang from embarrassment with just some simple words. While maintaining etiquette to the extreme, he also quietly pushed Si Xu into an embarrassing situation.
Jiang Ranran was the daughter of the Shen family. Si Xu blatantly smashed the door and took her away without showing her family members any respect. If it weren't post-apocalypse now, his actions would definitely be criticized.
Not noticing the trap in Shen Yang's words, or not caring about it at all, Si Xu stared at the man's face and sneered. "If you take one more step forward, I’ll kill you."
Shen Yang's smile froze. He silently retracted his foot.
When Jiang Ran saw Shen Yang's cowardly action, she twitched her lips and imitated Shen Yang's tone to say goodbye to Shen Lang. "Grandpa, Si Xu and I are going back. Thank you for hosting a welcome party for me."
The girl smiled sweetly and her voice was clear. Shen Lang's heart skipped a beat when he heard her continue, "By the way, Grandpa, I just found out that the man who broke into my room and wanted to take liberties with me was one of your men. I think he’s untrustworthy. You should stay away from him."
The onlookers were all smart people. When Jiang Ran said that, those who thought about it immediately figured out the whole incident that night. Their gazes that fell on the old man turned from sympathy to speculation.
Shen Lang didn't expect Jiang Ran to say that in public. Shen Lang couldn't breathe and almost fainted.
What a pity that he didn’t faint in anger. Jiang Ran sighed regretfully and turned to Shen Yang.
The man immediately made a gesture of gearing up. "Someone bullied my cousin? Don't worry. I’ll teach him a lesson and let my cousin vent her anger."
Jiang Ran smiled. "Eldest Cousin, thank you."
Shen Yang smiled. "Little Cousin, you’re welcome."
The two looked at each other. Jiang Ran looked away expressionlessly, and Shen Yang's smile gradually deepened meaningfully.
"Come here." Disgusted by the man's smiling expression, Si Xu flexed his wrist, and a space blade formed on his fingertips. He threatened directly, "I'm going to gouge out your eyes."
Shen Yang, "???" Was there such hatred and resentment? Why was this guy bent on fighting him? He either wanted to kill him or gouge his eyes out. What did Little Cousin see in such a violent guy?!
Si Xu was in a bad mood now. There were no zombies in the base for him to practice his swordsmanship. He could only do the next best thing and transfer his anger to Shen Yang. "Did you hear me? Come here."
Why must I go over just because you said so? I wasn’t a fool! Shen Yang was a flexible person. He faked a laugh and said, "I suddenly remember that there’s one more thing I forgot to do. I'll be right back. Don't wait for me." As if he had oil under his feet, he slipped into the crowd and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Si Xu, "..." He threw the space blade expressionlessly.
After a loud crash, the gorgeous crystal chandelier in the living room fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
In the darkness, there were screams of shock.
"If you get someone to bully her again next time," the young man's cold voice reached the old man's ears, "I’ll kill you directly."
The butler and servants came in holding candles and lit up the dark living room. The young man and woman had disappeared. The old man held on to the railing with one hand, his gray hair and beard wet with cold sweat.
……
Far away from the Shen family's residence, they could still hear the exclamations coming from the villa one after another.
Jiang Ran looked back and muttered, "It’s obvious that those people have never really experienced the horrors of the apocalypse. They got so jittery over such trivial things. They would only be food for the zombies when they were outside."
Si Xu agreed. "Yeah, let’s throw them out to feed the zombies."
Erm, I was complaining about those people being useless. I didn’t want to throw them out to feed the zombies. Amused by his serious and disgusted tone, Jiang Ran fiddled with his sinewy fingers, wrapped her fingers around them, and intertwined their fingers.
"Si Xu."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ran thought about it. "Why do you dislike Shen Yang so much?"
