Chapter 797: Injustice
Chapter 797: Injustice
The next day, the news that Shen Lanxi had gifted Jiang Huashan a yard full of gold spread quickly to every corner of Shen Garden like the early autumn wind.
At daybreak, Shen Jiao and her group arrived in the morning dew. She was wearing a dark green cheongsam with a light grey cashmere shawl over it, and she walked with ease.
After all, she was a queen with a wealthy family. When she saw the golden courtyard, she didn't even twitch her eyebrows. She just raised her hand slightly, and several stewards behind her began to count and move things in a well-trained manner.
Fu Sui'er followed Shen Jiao and looked at the real gold mountain in front of him. He couldn't help shaking his head and clicking his tongue, "Brother Lan Xi is really good. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he will make a big splash."
Jiang Huashan was wearing a basic light blue plain dress, and her not-so-basic beautiful face was frowning. Shen Lanxi was happy, but she was the first to have a headache.
Shen Jiao patted Fu Sui'er's head and looked at Jiang Huashan meaningfully. "With Lan Xi's wealth, these are just a drop in the bucket. Just take it easy."
Jiang Huashan naturally knew this.
At first, Shen Lanxi didn't want to get engaged and tried to persuade her with money. The condition she offered was three keys to a private vault. The so-called private vault was the foundation left by the Xi family and Shen Xi for Shen Lanxi.
But she was confused at the time and felt that Shen Lanxi was insulting her feelings with money. She insisted on holding on to a marriage certificate and threw the three golden keys into the Golden Harbor.
Shen Jiao continued, "I've set up a private vault for you. The initial password is your birthday. This gold is inconvenient to use, so I'll store it in the vault for you first."
Jiang Huashan suddenly cheered up and looked at Shen Jiao with gratitude.
Although she had no worries about food and clothing in her previous life, Fang Mei had taken away all her valuables, leaving her with almost no knowledge of money management. Shen Jiao's appearance just made up for this shortcoming.
While money wasn't very useful to her right now, it was crucial to Fu Suer. Take the presidential election every four years, for example: every candidate had capital backing them. Using capital to counter capital requires even greater resources; otherwise, Yu Siwen wouldn't have embarked on the path of treason.
No one can predict what will happen in the future, so it’s always a good idea for girls to keep some money for themselves.
As soon as the gold in the yard was emptied, Jiang Huashan hurried to Qin Garden to meet Shen Zhuang. Shen Lanxi's gift was too ostentatious, and she was unsure how the old man would react.
Just as Shen Zhuang was about to leave, the group happened to meet him on the bluestone path. The old man, dressed in a dark gray Mao suit, looked energetic. Shen Qian, Shen Yuan, and Shen Rang followed cautiously behind him.
Jiang Huashan glanced at everyone and quickly stepped forward. "Grandpa, are you going to Xiangying?"
"Yeah." Shen Zhuang waved at her with a kind look in his eyes. "Things must be resolved sooner rather than later. What's up? Do you want to talk to Grandpa?"
Jiang Huashan nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, she said, "Brother Lan Xi gave me a yard of gold. I don't want to accept something without merit. I feel uneasy, so I came to ask for your advice."
Shen Zhuang had heard the servants talk about this early in the morning and just waved his hand nonchalantly, "That kid has money, you don't have to feel bad for him. Since he's given it to you, just keep it with peace of mind."
The old man smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.
Shen Qian, who had been standing quietly behind him, lowered his eyes and said nothing, but his gaze darkened imperceptibly.
Is Shen Lanxi even pretending anymore? She's been so attentive to the old man. If the first and third wives really join forces, where will Shen Yuan stand in the future?
Thinking of this, he tightened his knuckles slightly, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

On the other side, Su Yun stayed by Yu Sheng's bedside all night. Before dawn, she went home to wash up and immediately rushed to the hospital.
Su Jingliu stood on the balcony, watching Su Yun busy but with a lively smile. He was silent for a long time, then turned to look at Su Xin, who was sitting quietly in front of the tea table, and asked with a bit of confusion: "What do you think these children are thinking about?"
Su Xin paused slightly as she poured tea from the teapot.
He raised his eyes, looked over the railing, and cast his gaze towards the gradually brightening sky. His voice was gentle: "It's nothing more than friendship, dreams, the value of life... something like that."
Su Jingliu glared at his son unhappily, walked over to the tea table, and snatched the cup Su Xin had just poured. "Can these empty-headed things be eaten as food?"
"No." Su Xin pondered for a moment, a faint smile on her lips, "But spiritual richness is also a kind of richness."
He paused, met his father's gaze, and said in a steady voice, "Dad, Ayun came to me this morning and asked me to push for a delayed court date during the congressional case. I agreed."
Su Jingliu gave him a sidelong look and said sarcastically, "You've already agreed, and you're still talking to me."
Su Xin knew her father's temper very well, so she did not argue. She just stood up calmly, bowed deeply to Su Jingliu, and then turned and left the balcony.
After the people left, Su Jingliu stared at the tea in his hand, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly put the teacup down heavily with a "bang".
"Butler Su!" he shouted.
"Yes." Butler Su, who had been waiting not far away, immediately pushed the door open and walked in. He walked quickly to the old man and asked, "Old man, what do you want me to do?"
"Go, bring the phone." Su Jingliu said firmly, "I want to call Mr. Zhou myself."
Butler Su: “…”

Whales and hospitals.
Su Yun entered the inpatient department from a special passage. She glanced out the window as she passed the corridor. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but not only were there reporters squatting outside, but even the security personnel in the police station were more than doubled compared to yesterday.
She always kept Jiang Huashan's advice in mind, and even brought some spare clothes with her when she went back this time. She planned to stay in the hospital temporarily until Yu Sheng was completely out of danger.
When she reached the door of the ward, Su Yun habitually looked through the observation window first. This look made her blood almost freeze instantly.
She didn't even have time to think before her body took action. She pushed the door open and rushed in, shouting in a voice so sharp that she hadn't expected it, "What are you doing! Stay away from her!"
Guan He was lowering his head to observe Yu Sheng's condition. Seeing that she was lying there half-dead, he just stretched out a hand to check her breath when a black shadow suddenly rushed in front of him, grabbed his hair and pushed him back, almost breaking his neck.
"grass!"
Guan Hezaicai was also from the Military and Political Academy. When he was suddenly attacked, his body subconsciously counterattacked in self-defense.
How could Su Yun be faster than him? With a sideways elbow strike, she was sent flying and hit the iron pillar of the hospital bed.
"You're not fucking tall..."
Guan He hadn't planned to give up yet, but when he turned around and saw that it was Su Yun, he was completely stunned and swallowed the curse that was on the tip of his tongue, "Why...why is it you?"
