Seeing that Shi Qingxue lowered her head and pondered hard, Mo Junyang didn’t baffle her but gave her an explanation in detail directly. “Princess Royal doesn’t worry about money or fame. In this world, few things can be used to lure her except what she cares about…”
“I see!” Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up.
She answered quickly, “It’s Shi Juncai.”
Mo Junyang showed a faint smile.
Qingxue was more confident and continued, “Perhaps Grandma can get whatever she wants, but Shi Juncai has a lot of things that he wants yet can’t get.
“With Shi Juncai, it is much easier to combine threats with inducements.”
Moreover, the criminal had Shi Lei’s skeleton as the bargaining chip. Wouldn’t the negotiation be to the satisfaction of both parties?
It just made Shi Lei who had passed away long ago suffer from injustice. He made a lot of outstanding military exploits for the country and his family when he wa
Shi Qingxue was scared by the weird thought flashing in her brain, so she hurriedly shook her head and tried to get rid of it.They had never seen each other before, so it was her first time to see this manager today, and they talked only a little. Why did she think that he looked at her with love in his eyes, like an elder looking at a child?She was out of mind.Nevertheless, when she turned to Mo Junyang, she saw that he looked cold and stared at the manager of The You’s Pawnshop, with his cold and stern eyes.It seemed that if nobody stopped him, he would kill this bastard who dared to covet his woman after he went out later.“Junyang?” Shi Qingxue nervously grabbed Mo Junyang’s sleeve and called in a low voice.Every time Mo Junyang showed such an expression, she felt restless even though she didn’t realize what had happened.Then her worried eyes couldn’t stray from Mo Junyang.
After Shi Qingxue left the study, there was jealousy on Shi Baoning’s face apart from fear because of the cranium which showed up suddenly.It was indistinct, but all people present knew well about her and could certainly notice what she was thinking about.Dong Hui understood Shi Baoning’s “grievance”, yet both of them were her daughters, and moreover, it was not caused by Shi Qingxue.It was unreasonable no matter whether she blamed Shi Qingxue or comforted Shi Baoning.She wanted to cover it up and pretended as if nothing had happened.However, Shi Junhe stated, “Hui, go out with Chi. I have something to tell Baoning.”“Junhe, this…” Seeing that Shi Junhe looked serious, Dong Hui was afraid that the father and daughter would have conflicts, so she planned to stop it.However, Shi Junhe just shook his head at her silently and firmly, motioning for her to do as he said.Do
Shi Junhe glared at Shi Baoning in disbelief and didn’t expect that she would slander her sister unreasonably.He raised his hand and slapped Shi Baoning in the face again, cursing in a rage, “Talk nonsense! Evil girl. Do you know who you are talking about? That’s your younger sister.”Shi Junhe always thought that only he and his brothers had intramural fights, but unexpectedly, there were so many misunderstandings between his two daughters.At the moment, he was glad that Mo Junyang had taken Shi Qingxue away and only he heard what Shi Baoning had said just now.Even he was so angry, and he didn’t dare to imagine how sad Shi Qingxue would be if she heard Shi Baoning’s heartless words.However, since Shi Baoning had expressed her feelings hidden at the bottom of her heart, she didn’t fear anything and made it worse.She covered her swollen face after being slapped and didn’t admit her fault. Instead, she
The You’s Pawnshop was famous in the capital city as an old brand with a history of several decades. The price in the pawnshop was reasonable, and it was popular in the neighborhood.After all, nobody hoped to make contact with a pawnshop, but when somebody was in need, a pawnshop would be better than his father.That man had been a manager in The You’s Pawnshop for more than twenty years. As long as they made inquiries, they knew that the man was named You Junle. It was said that he was the biological son of the pawnshop’s owner.Shi Qingxue didn’t guess wrong. The owner of The You’s Pawnshop had passed away many years ago, and You Junle took over the pawnshop.However, You Junle was always the manager of the pawnshop. Even if he became the real boss, it didn’t change much, so all people around called him Manager all the time.“Do you think that he hid his real relationship with his boss because he thinks it is not im
You Junle seemed to have expected that Shi Qingxue would ask him such a question. He paused for a moment and then nodded frankly, answering simply, “Right.”“…Is your…”Damn it.Shi Qingxue felt that her lips started to tremble. She quivered for a long time and then continued to ask, “Is your family name Shi?”This time her voice was softer and more hesitant.However, You Junle replied more directly than last time, “Yes. Before my mother died, my name was Shi Junle.”He seemed to think of something and showed a weird and excited smile. Then he stressed each word. “My Lady, if you want to ask about my age, I can tell you that I am fifty years old, eight years older than your father.”At the mention of Shi Junhe, there was disdain on You Junle’s face evidently. He looked the same as he did when he left Duke Shi’s mansion.You Junle, or Shi Junle looked down upon Shi Junhe.
Shi Qingxue was petrified by You Junle’s aggressive questions.These questions were sharp-pointed and piercing to the bone, and You Junle’s stern eyes made her feel too ashamed to raise her head.In fact, she had accepted You Junle’s words in her heart.He didn’t need to lie to them for something like this.Moreover, many signs showed that his words were not false.Shi Qingxue was speechless and couldn’t bear You Junle’s attitude which changed sharply. She didn’t want to face the truth from selfish motives as it was so difficult to speak out.But…“Manager You, you are joking,” Mo Junyang suddenly stated coldly.He said that You Junle was joking, yet he didn’t smile. He just looked horribly serious.You Junle was stunned, but he was confident, so he swelled out his chest and looked at Mo Junyang. “What I said is the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can…”
You Junle was shocked to hear Shi Junhe call him brother.After quite a while, he came back to earth from this form of address.Then his face darkened and he snorted with displeasure. “Did you call me brother?”Shi Junhe’s eyes were deep, with endless sorrow and depression seemingly.He stared at You Junle in silence. Just in an instant, it was enough to make You Junle soft-hearted.You Junle expressed that he looked down upon Shi Junhe, even with hatred.But he blamed this younger brother as much as he loved him.If You Junle didn’t expect too much of Shi Junhe, how would he have a grudge against this younger brother because he was disappointed at him?He had known Shi Junhe for too long and even had watched when this younger brother was born.You Junle was just eight or nine years old then. Looking at the fat baby in the cradle, the awareness of being an elde
After You Junle said that, there was deadly silence in the room.Shi Junhe’s face was paler than it had been when he entered the room, and there was almost no blood.After a long time, he finally found his voice. “Do, do you mean that Mother was, was…”Even though Shi Junhe had seen a lot, he couldn’t come back to earth from the shocking news and say the last words.Refusing to save a life and murdering were totally different.If she refused to save his mother, Shi Junhe might think that they were even and would become strangers.However, if she murdered his mother, as she had raised him and he owed a big debt of gratitude to her, how would Shi Junhe face the reality in the future?Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Junhe worriedly and called in a low voice, “Father!”Afterward, she couldn’t help but glare at You Junle resentfully. Although she knew that he was innocent, who told th
