Chapter 914 Should I follow the clan leader or the young clan leader?
Starting a business is not easy for women, and it is even more difficult for women like Dong Mingjun who dared to go to the United States to work hard at a young age.
She was certain she would make a move against Tong, but Shen Lu hadn't expected Dong Mingjun to choose to raise the Gu first.
Dong Mingjun was indeed investigated and it was Yu Tong who did it.
But Yu Tong is clever and his methods are secretive.
If he doesn't admit it, calling the police might really be useless.
After all, so much time has passed.
But Dong Mingjun couldn't just swallow this insult.
She drew attention to Yu Tong, and upon learning that he was participating in a talent show, she didn't rush to avenge her grandson.
She was waiting for the right moment; the higher Yu Tong flew now, the harder he would fall later.
Sometimes, revenge doesn't have to be done in the exact same way.
It might be more painful to see someone fall from a great height and never be able to get up again than to see them fall down the stairs and break their leg.
Having stood at such a high place, how could one bear to be in the dust?
Dong Mingjun is better at understanding how to manipulate people than these young women.
Yu Tong has now successfully entered the talent show, and Dong Mingjun might be secretly giving him a push in the future.
If he falls from grace at the height of his success, it's uncertain whether he can withstand the blow.
Dong Mingjun took her grandson abroad, and Old Mrs. Shen didn't move into Shen Lu's shabby little apartment.
She also owns a courtyard house in Beijing, which is already furnished.
Now Shen Siqi lives there with the old lady.
Two bodyguards, Shen Er and Shen Wu, accompanied Old Madam Shen.
These two young people beat the others and wanted to come out and broaden their horizons with the old lady.
Originally, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu were assigned to protect the young clan leader, which made the others very envious.
They were thrilled that the clan leader had finally agreed to go out.
Living with the young clan leader was cramped; Shen Jiu was even sleeping on the floor.
Following the clan chief was a completely different story. Not only did they live in spacious quarters, but they could also practice their skills in the courtyard every day, which felt wonderful.
Shen Qi and his friends have a small group chat where they share interesting stories.
Shen Qi and Shen Jiu were jealous of Shen Er and Shen Wu's carefree life, but there were also benefits to them following Shen Lu.
"There are handsome boys everywhere at the university gates."
Shen Qi chuckled.
Shen Er is a man, so of course he's not interested in handsome boys, but Shen Wu is a girl too.
Seeing the photos of the male college students that Shen Qi had casually taken, tears of envy streamed down her face.
"Seven, I didn't expect you to eat so well next to the young clan leader."
"How about I switch with Shen Jiu? We can sleep together, and he won't have to sleep on a makeshift bed in the living room."
"It's really uncomfortable to see a big man sleeping in the living room when I get up at night."
Shen Qi chuckled: "Xiao Wu, let me tell you, Shen Jiu might not be willing."
"Although he doesn't need to look at handsome guys, there are plenty of beautiful girls at the school gate."
"Isn't that kid clueless?" Shen Wu didn't believe that Shen Jiu's hobby was looking at beautiful women.
In Shen Wu's memory, she and Shen Qi were more lustful than other men.
"Not being perceptive doesn't stop him from appreciating beauty, and besides, we have a male bodyguard next door who's an amazing cook, blah blah blah..."
Shen Qi and Shen Wu have already started chatting.
Shen Jiu was watching in the group chat, and then spoke up: "I will not agree to the change. I must stay with the young clan leader."
Shen Wu threatened him: "Fine, Xiao Jiu, do you look down on the clan elders?"
Shen Jiu immediately defended himself: "Don't talk nonsense. I just want to gain more experience under the young clan leader."
"Moreover, the fact that the two official bodyguards on the young clan leader's side have not yet left means that there is still danger around her."
"I have to protect the young clan leader properly, unlike you girls who only know how to look at handsome men all day long."
Shen Jiu spoke righteously, but when he looked up, he found Shen Qi already standing in front of him, his gaze sinister.
"Ahem, Shen Qi, why are you looking at me like that?"
Just because you're older than me doesn't mean I'm afraid of you!
"Do you believe I'll beat you up?" Shen Qi raised his hand, and Shen Jiu immediately cowered.
The two were playfully bickering, while Shen Lu quietly read a book in the study.
Shen Xuejiao is coming to the capital this Friday, and Shen Lu is going to pick her up at the airport.
Feng Tian and Wei Mingming also went along.
The two were inseparable because they were in love.
Originally, Shen Lu only invited Feng Tian, but Wei Mingming insisted on coming along.
To be honest, Feng Tian and Wei Mingming are quite a good match in terms of appearance; it's the kind of tall, handsome guy with delicate features paired with a cute girl.
But the moment the two opened their mouths, it was all about the domineering woman and her little darling husband.
When they arrived at the airport and picked up Shen Xuejiao, things got even more lively.
"My house is too small, how about I take you to Grandma's for the night?"
Shen Lu originally intended to book a hotel for Shen Xuejiao, but Shen Xuejiao was unwilling and insisted on staying with her.
Shen Xuejiao wanted to move in with them, and Feng Tian also whined that she wanted to too.
The tough girl is already acting like a whiny whiner, can't we just not let her live with us?
Wouldn't Feng Tian keep talking about her for years?
As for Wei Mingming, he didn't interrupt.
After all, he was a grown man, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to ask to live with the girls, so he planned to go back to school that night.
Oh, that won't work either, the school has a curfew. Let's see if there's a hotel nearby where we can stay for the night.
Those who can attend Nanshan International School generally come from families that are not short of money.
So whether or not they stay in a hotel is not a problem for them.
"Does Grandma know we're going? Will it bother her?"
Shen Xuejiao also remembered that her own grandmother was in the capital, and that she was staying at Shen Lu's house.
She's already here, shouldn't she go and visit her grandmother?
"Ms. Qin will go directly to her grandmother's place after get off work."
Shen Lu explained.
"The old lady invited you to come when she learned you were coming."
“I haven’t even been to her place yet. You guys have a lot more status than me,” Shen Lu said with a smile.
"Hehe, we've come at the perfect time."
Shen Xuejiao brought gifts from Yucheng, and Feng Tian and Wei Mingming also brought gifts to visit.
The fruit and such weren't expensive, but since we were going to Grandma Shen's house for a meal, they would feel embarrassed to come without bringing something.
Shen Xuejiao also teased Feng Tian and Wei Mingming: "You two are together now, you're family, why did you bring two gifts?"
Feng Tian remained silent, while Wei Mingming said shyly, "After we get married, we'll only give you one gift."
Shen Xuejiao snorted twice, "You two can really get married?"
However, thinking about it, it seems that only Wei Mingming could tolerate Feng Tian's domineering personality.
Wei Mingming himself is a doting husband, and seems unable to live without Feng Tian, so the two might actually get married.
"If you two really go from school uniforms to wedding dresses, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope."
Shen Xuejiao not only made the promise herself, but also pointed it out to Shen Lu: "Shen Lu, don't forget to give them both a big red envelope."
"No, you have to make two portions, they're both your good friends!"
Shen Lu wasn't afraid of bleeding heavily. She glanced at Shen Xuejiao and knew what she was thinking.
