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

Chapter 535 Exploding Gift

As expected, people who are cunning tend to look for people who are also cunning. Since no one is embarrassed, she has nothing to worry about.

Jiang Huashan stretched comfortably, pushed the door and got out of the car.

The accompanying vehicles were parked in a row in the underground parking lot, and the bodyguards were carrying large and small bags in an orderly manner. Jiang Huashan packed only one suitcase, and the rest were prepared by Shen Jiao for her.

Three hours ago, Mo Ran had contacted the housekeeping company. When Shen Guiling and Jiang Huashan entered the room, it had already been cleaned. The entire glass window facing the bay pier was polished brighter than a mirror, and the deep sea moonlight painting was placed in front of the glass.

Shen Guiling's gaze lingered on the painting for a moment, and without saying anything, he turned around and returned to his room.

Jiang Huashan didn't care. She sat cross-legged in the living room admiring her own painting. She had originally hoped to take this painting to an exhibition, but Bai Mi interfered and she had missed the exhibition time.

Mo Ran was outside the door, asking the bodyguard to put the suitcase away. After everything was done, he turned and went into the house to report, "Miss Jiang, I've counted all the luggage. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a bit too much. If you don't mind, I'll help you pack it after dinner."

"do not mind."

Jiang Huashan couldn't help but glance at Mo Ran. Where had Shen Guiling found such a thorough assistant? Compared to her, Lei Xing, that fool, was practically a younger brother.

Suddenly she thought of something and looked towards the kitchen again. Before, Shen Zhi sent Aunt Gong to take care of her daily life. Now that she has been captured, doesn't that mean she has to arrange another aunt?

Mo Ran saw her concerns and asked with a smile, "Miss Jiang, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Jiang Huashan hadn't eaten anything in the morning and had been sitting in the car all morning. She was really hungry now, so she didn't hesitate and said, "Anything is fine, just give me something."

Mo Ran nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.

After sleeping for three hours in the car, Jiang Huashan is now full of energy, staring at the painting in a daze with his hands on his chin.

Last night, she and Fu Suier checked everyone in Shen Garden, and finally identified the first traitor as one of the three people: Shen Yuan, Shen Che, and Shen Rang.

But at this point, the reasoning could not progress because she and Fu Suier had a disagreement. Fu Suier thought the murderer was Shen Yuan, while she was more inclined to believe that the murderer was one of the three wives.

Finally they reached a consensus and waited for news from Shen Mianzhi.

Shen Mianzhi is so smart, she must know what they are worried about. With her personality, she will definitely try her best to clear her father's name. If there is really something wrong with Shen Rang, Shen Mianzhi will definitely be the first to know.

Both she and Fu Suer were willing to bet that the girl on the rooftop was still the dragon slayer.

"Om-"

As I was lost in thought, the phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Jiang Huashan originally thought it was a message from home urging people to report their safety, so she casually clicked on the screen.

-[Shen Lanxi sends you a friend request]

"..."

She was stunned, frowned and stared at the screen for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what was going on?

The sun rises from the west?

Or will this show be over tomorrow?!

In the past five years, since Shen Lanxi returned to Shen Garden, they have had phone calls and family groups, but they have not added individual friends.

In her previous life, Jiang Huashan shamelessly sent out friend requests again and again, and Shen Lanxi didn't respond even when her fingers were about to poke the screen. At that time, she was still deceiving herself and comforting herself that Shen Lanxi must be too busy and didn't see it.

Later, at a family gathering, she mustered up the courage to ask him to add her as a friend in person.

Shen Lanxi said in a very arrogant tone, "I don't like irrelevant people encroaching on my territory. If you have any questions, you can call me."

Inexplicably, he thought of his previous life again, and Jiang Huashan felt a fire rising in his heart for no reason. He snorted coldly and ruthlessly refused.

*

Orchid Garden.

- [The other party rejected your friend request]

The air was as still as death.

Shen Lanxi stared at the phone screen without blinking, her eyes colder than a thousand-year-old glacier.

It's not ignoring, but directly choosing to reject. Gao Zhi silently shouted Amitabha in his heart. It seems that the road of courtship for a rookie is extremely dangerous.

After a long time, Shen Lanxi finally reacted and raised her finger to turn off the screen.

Gao Zhi was shocked and snatched his phone away, "Master, don't be impulsive!"

Shen Lanxi's eyes were cold, "Give it to me."

Gao Zhi scoffed inwardly, but put on a serious look like a relationship mentor. "Young Master, you need to be thick-skinned when pursuing a girl. If she rejects you, you can keep applying! Click it a hundred or eighty times to annoy her to death, and then Miss Jiang will naturally add you. This is what they call a strong woman afraid of a clinging man!"

"..." Shen Lanxi frowned. Such shameless operation was beyond his scope.

Gao Zhi was so disappointed that he shook his head, "Hesitation will only lead to failure, and if you fail, you will lose your wife."

Shen Lanxi was slightly stunned, her expression a little subtle. After a moment, she pretended to be cool and took the phone from Gao Zhi.

*

South Bay.

Jiang Huashan changed his position and supported his chin with one hand, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

"Om-"

The phone screen suddenly lit up.

She glanced down, her face suddenly filled with disbelief.

-[Shen Lanxi sends you a friend request]

Come again?

No, are you sure that person across from me is Shen Lanxi? Could it be that Zhou Yanheng picked up Shen Lanxi's phone and is teasing her?

Jiang Huashan continued to click to refuse.

Almost the next second, the other party sent another friend request.

"..."

This is a bit confusing. The Shen Lanxi she knows would never reach out a second time after being rejected the first time. Could it be that he really has something important to tell her?

Jiang Huashan suddenly recalled that night in Juyuan when Shen Lanxi chased her to express her kindness, and the solid wall of her heart collapsed a little bit.

She hesitated for a moment and raised her finger, and was about to click "Agree" when a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and clicked "Reject" without any warning.

"..."

No need to guess who it is.

"Shen Guiling!"

Shen Guiling stood behind Jiang Huashan, bending slightly to cover her. Seeing her glaring at him with warning eyes, he looked a little innocent. "Shen Lanxi is old-fashioned and boring, and likes to restrict you. Do you want to add him as a friend and listen to him nagging you every day?"

Jiang Huashan frowned. Of course she didn't want to, but that was no reason for Shen Guiling to make the decision for her.

Shen Guiling's expression shifted slightly, and she bent her waist a little more. "I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't like it, you can just add it."

He had just finished a shower, and his entire body exuded the fragrance of grapefruit. He lowered his head at an angle that was right next to her profile. Moisture condensed from the ends of his hair and fell onto the side of Jiang Huashan's ear. Their eyes met silently, and drops of water flowed from behind her ear, across her neck, and into her clothes...

"..."

Shen Guiling gently rolled his Adam's apple, his voice hoarse, "Do you want to take a shower?"

bath?

Who would take a shower in the middle of the day?!

Come to think of it, why did Shen Guiling just go into the house and take a shower?

Jiang Huashan's expression changed slightly, and she suddenly remembered that they had fallen asleep in each other's arms in the car before. Could this bastard be hinting at something by asking her to take a shower?

Dare to think?!

Jiang Huashan covered the water drops that seeped into her neck with one hand, and her eyes suddenly became sharper than a knife.

"Shen Guiling didn't expect you to be this kind of person! Dirty!" After saying that, he jumped up from the carpet and bumped into Shen Guiling's jaw.

Shen Guiling turned his head and easily avoided a forehead hit. Seeing this, Jiang Huashan kicked his calf, turned around and rushed into the bedroom with the suitcase.

With a "bang", the door closed.

"..."

Shen Guiling smiled, picked up the towel on the sofa and draped it over her hair. While wiping her wet hair, she looked at the painting in front of the window.

*

"This Shen Guiling is so bold."

Jiang Huashan was muttering to herself while packing her luggage. She didn't even realize that she had completely forgotten about someone's friend request because of Shen Guiling's interruption.

*

Orchid Garden.

Gao Zhi leaned on the windowsill and peeked cautiously, "Shh! Master, how is it? Did Miss Jiang add you?"

Shen Lanxi frowned and stared at the phone screen motionlessly.

There was at least a rejection response before, why is there not even a rejection prompt now?

OK! Still not added.

Gao Zhi saw through it but didn't say anything. He cheered through the glass window, "Master, come on! Victory is just around the corner!"

"..." Zheng Song had just walked into the orchid garden when he saw Gao Zhi leaning against the window with his butt sticking out, swaying his hips. He approached the pool, was silent for a moment, and then called out, "Who's in charge?"

"!" Gao Zhi's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were filled with fear. He subconsciously covered his buttocks. Damn it! His cool and aloof boss image was about to be ruined!

Zheng Song waited by the pool for a while. Suddenly, the person on the windowsill slowly moved his body and drilled into the windowsill little by little like a giant silkworm pupa. After entering the window, the black figure disappeared from his sight in an instant.

After a while, the glass door of Linchi was slowly pushed open from the inside, and Gao Zhi, wearing sunglasses, walked out cool and handsome. "Manager Zheng, please come in."

Zheng Song looked toward the window, then at Gao Zhi in front of him, "What just happened was..."

Gao Zhi, "It's Lei Xing. Master A Ling didn't bring him with him when he went to South Bay. He's a bit emo."

So that's how it is. Zheng Song didn't hesitate and walked along the bridge corridor into the study.

Shen Lanxi had heard the noise outside a long time ago and put away her phone with a calm expression, "Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"

Zheng Song nodded, "Young Master, the old man asked me to inform you that the four aunts who manage Ju Garden were all silenced last night."

Shen Lanxi raised her eyes, a hint of undercurrent flashing across them.

Gao Zhi immediately restrained his expression, and a frost appeared on his face that was completely different from usual.

Zheng Song continued, "To prevent panic, I specifically escorted the suspect to the Xiangying old house for questioning. However, an accident occurred on the way. A gasoline truck overturned and collided with our car. The driver and the four women in the car were burned to death by the gas explosion."

Shen Lanxi, "There are so many people under investigation at Shen Garden, but only those four died. This means that one of them must know who is behind this. There's no need to investigate the others. Those who need warnings should be warned, and those who need handling should be dealt with. As for the gasoline truck that had the accident, as long as the scene isn't burned to ashes, there must be a clue."

Zheng Song was better at handling this kind of thing than Shen Lanxi, so he naturally didn't need to explain the details.

"Yes. Young Master, there is one more thing." Zheng Song agreed, thought for a moment, and truthfully recounted what Bai Mi had done in Qiu Garden.

Shen Lanxi was a little surprised. The Bai family had actually been there during the Qiu Garden riot yesterday. But Grandpa hadn't mentioned it at the family meeting.

He immediately realized that the old man was holding back.

"What did grandpa say?"

"The old man said that the Bai family's appearance in Shen Garden is definitely not simple, but Bai Mi's mouth is impossible to pry open, so this matter will trouble the young master."

Shen Lanxi thought for a moment and asked, "Where is he now?"

Zheng Song, "After relaxing my muscles yesterday, I was temporarily confined to Xia Garden."

"Gao Zhi." Shen Lanxi turned to look at Gao Zhi, "Go to Xia Garden first and say hello."

Gao Zhi understood and turned to leave the study.

Shen Lanxi, "Grandpa, do you have any other instructions?"

Zheng Song shook his head, "Not for now."

Shen Lanxi nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "Does anyone else in the Shen family know that the four stewards of Juyuan were silenced?"

Zheng Song hesitated slightly and said, "I don't know."

The reason why "should" was used was because the murderer knew, and the murderer had already been identified as a member of the Shen family, so Zheng Song was not sure.

Shen Lanxi, "Manager Zheng, please tell everyone this news."

Zheng Song nodded without thinking, and when he saw that Shen Lanxi had no other instructions, he said goodbye and left the study.

After the people left, the superiority in Shen Lanxi's brows disappeared in an instant. She raised her hand and tapped the screen, but there was still no response.

There was a rare look of frustration on Shen Lanxi's stern face. He was adept at handling family intrigues, but he didn't know how to deal with a girl.

He supported his chin with one hand, and his slender fingertips pressed the apply button from time to time. When he suddenly came to his senses, he was shocked to realize that he had clicked the apply button hundreds of times without realizing it.

As Shen Lanxi looked at the increasing number of applications, the cold pool in her eyes gradually melted into a fine silk.

It turns out that even such a cold mountain would be moved by the beating of one's heart.

*

South Bay.

"Strange, where did I put my pajamas? I clearly remember putting them in last night."

Jiang Huashan sat cross-legged in front of the suitcase, rummaging through clothes while muttering to herself. Clothes were scattered everywhere around her.

"Huh? Why is there a gift box here? When was it stuffed in here? I've never seen it before."

She held the pink gift box and looked around. After confirming that it was something she had never seen before, she couldn't help but feel curious. It was packaged so exquisitely, could it be a surprise from Suir for her?

She opened the silver chain lock, and the box suddenly turned into a secret box with layered drawers that opened out from all sides, making it half the size of a suitcase.

“It’s so advanced.”

Jiang Huashan lifted the black lace covering the box, and what caught her eye was an extremely delicately woven leather whip with a pink pigeon egg on the handle.

This workmanship? This style?

Suddenly, a bad premonition came over me.

As expected, in addition to the whip, there were also various buckles, scarves, chains, handcuffs, small umbrellas...

"..." Jiang Huashan held her forehead with her hand. She picked and chose but didn't like anything. Finally, she was attracted by a hammer tied with a pink lace bow at the bottom of the box.

She picked up the mallet, looking puzzled, "What's so interesting about this?"

"Knock Knock-"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

……
