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

Chapter 399: Bright Summer

The next day, the sky was clear.

Shen Zhuang sat in the rocking chair under the window and closed his eyes to rest.

The sunlight shines on the green leaves, casting floating lights. The breeze blows through the wooden windows, and light and shadows pass through the glass.

Three figures appeared at the threshold at the same time. It was a bright summer day, and even the shadows on the ground were particularly conspicuous.

"grandfather……"

The rocking bamboo chair came to an abrupt stop.

Shen Zhuang slowly raised his eyes and saw Shen Lanxi, Shen Guiling and Shen Qingyu entering the house side by side. Shen Lanxi was still holding the mahogany box in her hand.

Shen Qingyu, "Grandpa, we want to ask, what does it take to hold up this sky?"

Shen Zhuang's eyes moved slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest, Su Miao suddenly came to visit.

The Shen family knew her relationship with Jiang Huashan, so they invited him directly to Juyuan. When Su Miao saw Jiang Huashan with bandages all over his body, she was stunned.

Now everyone in Whale Harbor knows that pirates have invaded the wealthy villa in the northern district, but because Shen Manor has blocked the news about the villa, no one knows what exactly happened. Various versions of the story are spreading like wildfire, the most ridiculous of which is that Miss Shen was assassinated by pirates, and Mr. Shen was furious and massacred the villa.

"What's this look like?" Su Miao didn't believe it at first, but she had to believe it when the facts were in front of her.

Jiang Huashan was calm and composed. "You might not believe this, but I took three bullets by myself last night."

She was originally worried that she would become disabled, but Dr. Meng told her that the three shots did not hit any vital parts and that she would recover after two months of rest. The most important thing was that she should try not to move around during these two months, ask others to do anything, lie down if she could, and sit if she could, and don't stand if she could. She should wait until her bones have healed before doing rehabilitation training.

Jiang Huashan never expected such a good thing to happen and accepted it with pleasure.

"..." Su Miao, "Did the pirates only capture you all night?"

Jiang Huashan thought for a moment and said, "That's about right."

Su Miao had a complicated expression on her face and sat down on the chair next to the bed. "Where's your usual cleverness?"

"This matter is a bit complicated." Jiang Huashan was too lazy to explain and raised his chin. "Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me?"

Su Miao wanted to discuss the graduation trip with Jiang Huashan, but she never expected that she was so seriously injured. Now, let alone traveling, it was difficult for her to even leave the house. So she didn't mention it again, and said in a low mood, "Will you have any problems after you recover?"

Seeing her serious face, Jiang Huashan teased her deliberately, "Maybe you'll become a three-legged creature in the future."

"Three legs?" Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and it took her a beat longer to realize that the three legs Jiang Huashan was talking about were a crutch. Her eyes immediately turned red. "It's okay. Even if you become disabled, you will still be the most beautiful disabled person in all of Whale Harbor."

Jiang Huashan, “…”

"Who's going to become disabled?"

As he was speaking, a cheerful teasing voice came from outside the house, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Mianzhi walked in side by side with Fu Sui'er.

As soon as Fu Suier entered the room, he immediately ran to the bedside and looked Jiang Huashan up and down. "I wanted to come see you as soon as I woke up, but Doctor Meng refused."

"What's wrong with you?"

Fu Sui'er's arm was also in a splint, symmetrically placed on Jiang Huashan's left and right. Su Miao frowned, "Are these pirates targeting the Shen family?"

Shen Mianzhi said, "I can't explain it for a while, but it finally got through without any danger."

Jiang Huashan pointed at Fu Suier's arm with his intact hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

She almost fainted from the pain. If Fu Suer hadn't blocked the bullet for her, her right arm would have been in a splint.

"It's okay." Fu Suier grinned. "Or I should say I'm lucky. I didn't get hurt. No tendons or bones were broken. Doctor Meng insisted on giving me a splint to prevent pulling on the wound."

Their eyes met and they smiled at each other.

Shen Mianzhi brought two chairs, and the three of them gathered around Jiang Huashan's bed, talking and laughing. Outside the window, the summer flowers were blooming brightly.

at the same time.

Zhou house.

There was a stage in the center of the main courtyard, and a storyteller in a long gown was talking eloquently.

The old man of the Zhou family sat in a rocking chair with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. When he heard something exciting, he would occasionally tap his knees with his fingers.

Zhou Yanheng went downstairs, his eyes stayed on Zhou Guochao's face for a moment, then turned and walked out of the hall.

"Where?"

As soon as Zhou Guochao opened his mouth, the storyteller on the stage immediately fell silent.

Zhou Yanheng turned sideways and looked back, "Let's go out for a walk."

Zhou Guochao waved his hand, and the people on the stage immediately left the main hall.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanheng thought for a moment and turned around and walked over.

Zhou Guochao stood up and poured two cups of hot tea. "Don't you have anything you want to tell Grandpa about what happened last night?"

Zhou Yanheng shook his head, "No."

Zhou Guochao glanced at him and pushed the porcelain cup over. "You have nothing to say. Grandpa does have something to ask, what's going on with that girl from the Gu family?"

Zhou Yanheng frowned, "She heard something she shouldn't have heard. I can only teach her a lesson so she'll remember it."

Zhou Guochao, "If that's the case, you can't keep me here. Even a rabbit will bite when it's angry. Don't you understand this?"

Zhou Yanheng smiled and said, "Grandpa, I left the rabbit here just to give her a chance to bite. If you think it's a hindrance, you can do it yourself. Last night, we were clearly divided and each was acting on our own."

Zhou Guochao put down the teacup and his gaze lingered on Zhou Yanheng's face for a moment, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "What's wrong? Grandpa heard it. Do you have a problem with me?"

"How dare I?"

Zhou Guochao squinted, "What happened?"

Zhou Yanheng stopped laughing and asked, "Grandpa, did you know that there was an assassin lying in ambush at the North District Villa?"

Zhou Guochao, "I don't know about this."

Zhou Yanheng's eyes paused slightly. "Last night, I met the killer who ambushed the Shen family. He said..." Suddenly, he hesitated slightly. "I was deceived?"

Zhou Guochao calmly poured himself a glass and shook his head, "Not really. I do have dealings with them. Keeping him is indeed more beneficial to us than killing him. It seems that boy is also a smart person."

Zhou Yanheng raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Guochao, "They?"

Zhou Guochao said, "The best way to deal with a powerful opponent is to let him corrupt himself first. Family feuds may seem bloody, but in the end, it's nothing more than a fight with oneself. The Shen family is now extremely wealthy, but there is only one candidate for the position of head of the family. The direct descendant is young, and the Wolf Lord is aging. Civil war is inevitable."

Zhou Yanheng said, "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, it seems that you know a lot about the Shen family's affairs."

Zhou Guochao remained noncommittal and said, "Don't worry about this."

"Fine, just don't shoot me in the face next time. Going away."

Zhou Yanheng stood up and immediately pulled out his phone and called Guan He as soon as he was out of the hallway. "Do you still have those photos you took secretly at Jinggang No. 1 Middle School with Jiang Huashan two years ago?"

"Find it and send it to me."
