I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 512: Fateful Moment

"Bang bang—"

There was no response for a long time, and the knocking on the door was becoming more and more violent.

Jiang Huashan took a deep breath, rushed forward fiercely, opened the door and shouted, "Knock, knock, knock, what are you knocking for? Not opening the door is a refusal to answer. Don't you know this common sense?"

Shen Qingyu knocked for a long time but there was no response. His suspicion grew and he was about to lose his temper, but Jiang Huashan got there first and extinguished his anger in an instant.

"What?!" Jiang Huashan crossed his arms and squinted his eyes at the two people in front of him.

"..." Shen Qingyu was speechless for a moment.

Shen Lanxi, "Come to see you."

Jiang Huashan, "See? Let's go."

"..." The two were speechless. They thought Jiang Huashan would cover it up, but they didn't expect her to be so self-righteous and not even make an excuse.

"Still not leaving?"

His fierce look seemed suspicious to the two of them.

Shen Qingyu held onto the door frame with one hand and said, "Since we're here, why don't you invite us in and sit down?"

Jiang Huashan frowned and started to fight. "Why are you, a grown man, entering my bedroom? Are you a pervert?"

Shen Qingyu's eyelids twitched, and when he heard the word "pervert", he instantly lost all his strength and means, and said softly and fiercely: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Lanxi raised her hand to brush Shen Qingyu away, "I have something to tell you, but it's not appropriate to say it publicly. Let's go in and talk."

“…” There’s something else to talk about. I apologized to her last time, so what’s the topic this time?

Jiang Huashan knew that they would not give up unless they came in to take a look, so she turned and walked into the room.

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes and glanced towards the room, her expression naturally following suit.

"..." Shen Qingyu was so angry when he saw this!

Could it be that this is specially made to treat him?

Jiang Huashan led Shen Lanxi to the spacious activity area and pointed to the sofa that had previously hosted Shen Guiling. "Sit down."

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the black and gold fountain pen on the coffee table. This pen was left by Shen Guiling when he just signed the contract.

Jiang Huashan was calm and pretended to organize the contracts. He picked up the pen and threw it into the drawer of the dressing table along with the contracts in his hand.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Shen Lanxi's gaze lingered on the drawer for a moment before she looked up at her. "What's your relationship with Guan He?"

"..." Jiang Huashan was stunned. Shen Lanxi would never really think that she liked Guan He. The reason she asked this was probably because she saw Guan He's test of her.

To be honest, she was also baffled by Guan He's sudden attack today. But based on her understanding of Guan He in her previous life, this guy must have been instructed by Zhou Yanheng. But why did Zhou Yanheng do this? She hadn't figured it out yet.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Shen Lanxi said calmly, "No matter what the relationship is, stay away from them from now on."

Jiang Huashan's face instantly turned cold. "I can be close to whoever I want. Grandpa doesn't care about you, so why should you care about me?"

She naturally understood who Shen Lanxi was referring to when she said "the other him". But she couldn't accept Shen Lanxi's half-commanding concern, which made her seem so ungrateful.

Shen Lanxi was slightly stunned, and the emotions in her eyes fluctuated significantly. "Jiang Huashan."

"Why are you so fierce? I owe you something?!"

Seeing this, Shen Qingyu suddenly felt like a blessing from heaven and rushed into the room immediately, "Exactly, who are you showing off to every day?"

"..." Shen Lanxi frowned and looked at Shen Qingyu coldly.

Since the cards were already exposed, Shen Qingyu simply didn't hide it anymore and turned to coax Jiang Huashan, "Ignore him. He has a stern face all day long and lectures this and that. It's really annoying."

Jiang Huashan was annoyed and pushed Shen Qingyu away. "Stop fooling around here. Didn't you two come up here just to teach me a lesson? You and he are in cahoots."

Shen Qingyu clicked his tongue and said, "Who is in the same group with him? You forgot, we are the alliance."

"I won't listen!" Jiang Huashan stood up and pushed Shen Qingyu hard, "Get out."

"Hey!" Shen Qingyu didn't dare to resist and retreated repeatedly.

After Jiang Huashan drove Shen Qingyu away, he turned around and looked at Shen Lanxi. Shen Lanxi's eyebrows were cold and her eyelids were slightly drooping.

"What are you looking at? Get out too."

Jiang Huashan was not polite at all and pushed him directly.

Shen Lanxi was caught off guard and took several steps back before he could steady himself. He looked up, and his usually calm eyes were filled with surprise.

"Jiang Huashan..."

"Still watching?"

Jiang Huashan didn't give Shen Lanxi any time to react. She picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at her face.

Shen Lanxi suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes: "..."

"boom--"

When the door was slammed shut, Shen Lanxi was still immersed in the shock of her vision going dark, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Shen Qingyu originally wanted to knock on the door to explain, but when he turned around and saw Shen Lanxi with a dazed look on her face, he immediately found his balance, "Brother Lanxi, does your face hurt?"

Shen Lanxi blinked and regained her clarity of mind instantly. She ignored what Shen Qingyu said and turned to leave the embroidery building.

"Master." Gao Zhi had been squatting downstairs, keeping watch. Seeing Shen Lanxi with a tuft of hair on her head, he looked around and asked in a low voice, "Did Miss Jiang hit you again?"

"..." Shen Lanxi didn't even look away and walked straight past him and out of the chrysanthemum garden.

"Tsk~ You haven't adapted to it even after two fights? Even the young master can't do it."

Gao Zhi shook his head, carrying the poor little thing in his arms, and ran after him, "Master! Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?"

Oh, suddenly thinking of something, Gao Zhi quickly covered his mouth and smiled meanly, "No need to ask, she must be heartbroken."

*

To get from the Chrysanthemum Garden to the other three courtyards, one must pass by the lotus pond in the courtyard. Fu Suier and his group were playing and fishing in the courtyard, and the sound of their laughter could be heard from far away.

Shen Guiling walked up the corridor bridge, and Fu Suier waved at him from the pavilion on the other side.

"Brother Aling, come over and fish?"

Shen Guiling gently refused, "I'll go to the front yard to take a look."

Fu Sui'er nodded and waved goodbye.

Su Miao quietly watched Shen Guiling's departing back. After a while, she suddenly thought of something and asked quietly, "Where's Yu Sheng?"

Shen Mianzhi, "I think I saw her coming out of the bamboo garden just now. She should be going back to the main hall, right?"

Yu Sheng left everyone behind to go find Shen Guiling. Her feelings were obvious, but in the end she was left alone by Shen Guiling. Given her personality, it would be difficult for her to accept it for a while, so it was understandable that she avoided everyone.

Su Miao curled her lips, "Who is to blame for this? Brother Ling doesn't like her, so why does he spoil her?"

"That's right." Fu Sui'er nodded in agreement. Suddenly remembering Jiang Huashan's reminder, he turned sideways and pulled Shen Mianzhi, "Zhizhi, what's going on between you and Zhou Yanheng? You're not really going to marry into the Zhou family, are you?"

Shen Mianzhi's eyes paused slightly, and he looked at the pool of water under his feet for a long time without saying anything.

"Zhizhi!" Fu Sui'er suddenly became anxious. "Can't you see who Zhou Yanheng is? Have you forgotten about Xiao Lanlan?"

Shen Mianzhi closed his eyes, trying to hide his inner despair in this way.

I don’t know when it started, but the feeling of being restrained and manipulated came back again.

Of course she knew that Zhou Yanheng was not a good match, but there was always a voice in her heart telling her that it was not Zhou Yanheng's fault, but someone else seduced him. As long as she treated Zhou Yanheng sincerely, he would definitely change his mind.

Every time she heard such a sound, she would be frightened and break out in a cold sweat, because she was afraid that one day she would not be able to resist.

but……

Shen Mianzhi took a deep breath and slowly raised her eyes, "I haven't forgotten."

How dare she forget?

When she was fifteen, on the rooftop of the Yingcai Building, the girl who had pulled her out of the abyss asked her under the blue sky of freedom: "If you lose, you will be doomed. Shall we make a bet?"

She also responded enthusiastically: "Life is a gamble. If you don't gamble, how can you win the future?"

Before, she never understood why Jiang Huashan said that Zhou Yanheng was her destiny, but now she probably guessed it.

Her fateful moment is coming, cut off or become a puppet, her life depends on this gamble.
