Chapter 355 The Law of the Sea King in the End of the World (36)
When Jiang Ruowei saw the jade pendant, a trace of cruelty instantly flashed in her eyes.
She asked why the old immortal was unwilling to give this jade pendant to her.
It turned out that in his mind, he and his daughter were never the real Shu family.
Only his ex-wife and this son are.
Zhao Qishan did not want to be slapped in the face in public, and still stubbornly retorted: "So what if you have this jade pendant? Maybe it was stolen!"
Lu Xiao didn't want to listen to this guy's excuses anymore, so he walked out from behind Shu Yan, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up from the ground: "Zhao Qishan, open your useless eyes and take a good look.
Is the young master real or fake?!"
Qi Siqian snorted coldly and walked out: "Brother Lu, don't talk nonsense to this guy. He's blind anyway, so you might as well help him dig out his eyes."
Zhao Qishan looked at the two of them and trembled subconsciously: "Adjutant Lu? Adjutant Qi?!"
Lu Xiao and Qi Siqian were the former right-hand men of Commander Shu.
Shortly after Master Shu disappeared.
They both also disappeared.
The Dongji people originally guessed that they were going to find another job, but they didn't expect that they were following Master Shu all the time.
Zhao Qishan immediately bowed to Shu Yan in fear: "Master Shu, I am ignorant of Taishan. You have a lot, don't argue with the villain!"
Shu Yan smiled: "Of course I won't argue with you, Uncle Zhao, Aunt Jiang, don't you think so?"
Jiang Ruowei has occupied the Shu family for many years and has been called "Mrs. Shu" by countless people. Now Shu Yan's "Auntie" directly reveals her true form and exposes her nakedly in front of everyone.
She is undoubtedly telling everyone that she is Shu Zheng's successor.
She is a stepmother who does not deserve the Shu family jade pendant.
Jiang Ruowei's nails were embedded in her flesh, but she had a bright smile on her face: "It'll be good if Xiaoyan comes back."
Then she squeezed out a few more tears: "You must have heard the news too, your father..."
Shu Yan's eyes instantly turned cold.
Although he hated his father who was kind and friendly in front of others, he was cold and ruthless behind the scenes, which led to his mother's disheartened death and serious illness. She ignored him and did not hesitate to sacrifice family ties for the sake of power and status.
But no matter what.
That's his father too.
"Aunt Jiang, I remember clearly that my father was in good health before I left. How come he was so ill that he passed away in just a few years?" Shu Yan said coldly.
Jiang Ruowei said in a hoarse voice: "Of course your father has worked too hard in the past few years."
Tang Jin couldn't listen anymore and took a step forward and said: "Master, it's not because you left home in anger, the commander suddenly fainted in anger, and then became too sick to get out of bed. In the past few years, my wife has been taking care of you.
You have been away from home for many years, why should you blame her?"
"Okay Tang Jin." Jiang Ruowei frowned and scolded, "How can you talk to the young master like this?"
Shu Yan sneered, his slender fingertips rubbed his wrist bones unconsciously, and a layer of cruelty gradually formed at the end of his eyes: "Then do I still want to thank Aunt Jiang, thank Aunt Jiang for not killing me, and locking me in the orphanage?
After all these years, have you spared my life?"
The color on Jiang Ruowei's face faded, and she raised her head in disbelief: "What? Xiaoyan, are you being hunted down? Are you still locked up in an orphanage?"
Many of the people who came to express condolences were Shu Zheng's old subordinates.
Shu Zheng always wanted his only son to take over Dong Ji.
They all saw how harshly he had been treated over the years.
I originally thought that the child's rebelliousness and leaving home was unfilial, but it turned out that there was another reason.
Everyone stood up and spoke for him.
But no one believed that these were all made by a woman named Jiang Ruowei.
In their eyes, no matter how powerful Jiang Ruowei is, she is still a weak woman who needs to rely on her husband's family to survive.
And she only has one sick girl under her knees.
Killing Shu Yan would do her no good at all.
A grey-haired old man walked out of the crowd, holding a black wooden cane and knocking the ground hard under his feet: "Okay, Xiaoyan, I hope you come back safely. As for those things, let's wait until your father's funeral is held. No matter what Jiang Ruowei does,
She is also your mother in name only. At this time, don’t worry about this kind of thing."
Shu Yan lowered his eyes: "Third Grandpa, you are right, father's funeral is important."
Then he picked up Bai Wu and swept past Jiang Ruowei with a cold air. He walked straight to his father's tomb and bowed deeply.
Seeing this, the others returned to their original positions and observed a moment of silence.
But once something is broken, it is impossible to return to its original track.
Even now, Jiang Ruowei still can't digest the reality that Shu Yan is back.
No wonder there is no news from Dean Bai till now.
She was busy taking care of Shu Zheng's funeral these days and had no time to send anyone to inquire.
Did something really happen to the orphanage?
Jiang Ruowei darkened her eyes, pressed the handkerchief under her eyes, and stood back haggardly. Out of the corner of her eye, she unconsciously glanced at the little girl and boy following Shu Yan.
She knew Lu Xiao and Qi Siqian.
What are the identities of these two people?
Especially that girl, she felt familiar at first sight.
Jiang Ruowei couldn't help but ask Tang Jin.
He grew up in the Shu family and became a housekeeper when he became an adult. He was more familiar with many people and things than she was.
"That girl is a relative of the Shu family?"
Tang Jin immediately understood who she was referring to.
It was the girl following Shu Yan.
Her appearance is so outstanding that even Mrs. Shu was not one-tenth as good as that girl when she was young.
Tang Jin noticed her almost as soon as she appeared.
The tips of his ears felt hot unconsciously, and he lowered his head and said, "Madam, I have never seen her. She is not a relative of the Shu family."
Jiang Ruowei frowned.
This is strange, then why does she always have the feeling that she has seen this girl somewhere?
The funeral process resumed without any further delays.
When a group of people returned from the cemetery, there were already a few stars hanging in the sky.
Jiang Ruowei seemed to be really happy about Shu Yan's return. As soon as the funeral was over, she rushed to prepare a reception banquet for him.
But he was coldly rejected by Shu Yan.
He turned around and went upstairs, leaving only a distant figure behind.
Bai Wu followed him to his room.
The furnishings inside are as new as before, as if someone has always lived here.
Shu Yan looked around, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "Xiao Bai, what do you think of my stepmother?"
His face is like Guanyin and his heart is like a snake and scorpion.
This was Bai Wu's feeling when she saw Jiang Ruowei for the first time.
But she still pondered for a moment before saying: "I heard many people praising her along the way. Aunt Jiang is very good-looking and very capable, but I always feel like there is something weird about her."
There was a bit more smile in Shu Yan's eyes, and she crossed her hands on her chest, gesturing for her to continue speaking.
"For example, just now, Commander Shu just held a funeral today, and she was planning to hold a grand reception banquet for you. Although she seems really happy to have you back, the current situation is a bit inappropriate."
Shu Yan happily touched Bai Wu's head: "As expected of me who brought her here."
