535 Black Friday Yellow

er.”My brother gave a simple description of the scene at the time, his voice still trembling with lingering fear."Even if your dad is trying to scare you, he wouldn't cut off all ties with you..."My b...I frowned, staring into Shao Yihang's eyes. "What do you mean"

"It's nothing, just a simple dinner to thank you for your help." he said with a smile.

"Why didn't you invite my brother You said he wasn't here, conveniently" I don't understand what this guy is trying to do.

He clicked his tongue: "Your brother is too smart. I'll invite him to dinner alone next time to show my gratitude. This time, I'll treat you. Come on, the room has already been booked."

He was resolute. With all these black suits blocking my front door, I had to go even if I didn't want to.

Don't let them frighten my grandmother and the two little babies.

"I'll go with you." Dabao saw that the atmosphere was wrong and immediately spoke up.

Shao Yihang replied bluntly, "I only invite Miss Mu. The rest are not welcome to join the festivities."

He looked at me and smiled, “Qi Ke Xin’s matter has blown up big time. Many people have been implicated by her, just giving those above a chance to shake things up. My family is not spared either, but my family is different… because we know you, we escaped unscathed. Hehe, come on, Miss Mu, give me a chance to thank you.”

He spoke in a way that conveyed a lot of information. I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll change my clothes, just a moment."

He nodded and reminded me, “You can bring your sophisticated items, but don't bring any contraband. The security at the place we're going to eat is very strict.”

This guy...

Shao Yihang's wounds on his hands were quite severe, fortunately, he didn't injure any internal organs. Despite his gentle and refined appearance, he was still a man. Subduing his mother, a middle-aged woman in her fifties, wouldn't be too difficult.

"This time, thanks to knowing you guys, otherwise my family would have been implicated too. If it weren't for your sake, and the fact that you're involved in this matter with my family, Lin Yanhuan would protect you, so my family could escape unscathed."

"Otherwise, that Lin Yanhuan might have even demolished my house. After all, it's normal for a new emperor to favor new officials. " Shao Yihang sat on the comfortable seat, shaking his legs.

I have no interest in officialdom, so I just listened to what he said and didn't comment.

Shao Yihang kept squinting at me, which made me feel a little impatient. I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Shao, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't stare at people like that."

"Just take a look, won't you I just want to see what makes your Mu family so special that both Lin siblings favor you." He smiled and touched his hair, then brushed it back with his hand.

I have a prejudice against his diamond earrings. A man getting his ear pierced and then wearing such flashy diamonds, is he not afraid of letting everyone know how flamboyant he is

"How can I possibly thank your family for this Money Just name it." He smiled at me.

"Forget it, my family isn't short of money now." I replied calmly, "You owe me a favor, though I don't know how much you value loyalty..."

He "ha ha ha" laughed a few times: "Who said Miss Mu is easy to bully I inquired about you, and almost everyone said you are soft-hearted and speak kindly."

I roll my eyes. It's just the way I am, there's nothing to be done about it.

Shao Yihang smiled and said, “I don’t like owing favors either. I’ll return the favor soon.”

He gave a mysterious smile.

Shao Yihang brought me to a place that was understatedly luxurious, a traditional Chinese restaurant. We drove into an underground parking garage like a thickened air raid shelter and took a private elevator to the private room.

There was a man in the room.

Slightly plump, with serene brows and eyes that appear kind, but a profound complexity lies beneath their depths, difficult to describe.

"Mr. Shao, good afternoon." I said.

The man's lips twitched. "Do you know me"

"After finding out that Shao Yihang was someone's son, I paid special attention to the news and caught a glimpse of you twice." I answered honestly.

He nodded and gestured for me to sit.

In the spacious classical private room, there were only three of us seated. The dishes were brought up from a lift in the middle of the table, and the bodyguard placed them in front of us before leaving.

“I’ve already heard about the situation from Yi Hang. The Mu siblings, you have done a great service to my family. I remember this favor. Also, because of your relationship with the Lin family, my family managed to escape unharmed this time… So, you can make a request, and I will try my best to fulfill it.” Mr. Shao stated plainly.

Perhaps his time was very precious, so he had no time for pleasantries and idle chatter.

I replied directly, "There's no other request. I just want to ask you to arrange the schedule for a certain old gentleman so that he has time to meet with us and report on the matter... Lin Yanhuan had already privately mentioned this to him before—"

Mr. Shao nodded slightly and said, "I've heard a little about it, the Shen family replacing the Situ family as special advisors, right"

I nodded.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled at me, "The Shen family is gone How could you, a Mu family member, still a little girl, be the head of the family"

Little girl

I'm a mother now, am I still a little girl

"... Being the head of the family doesn't necessarily require ability or age. I happen to have opportunities, support, and shared interests, so the Shen family hopes I can take charge. Besides... The Shen family is my mother's family, and as the current head of the Shen family, there isn't much to dispute."

I looked back at him, meeting his piercing gaze.

Maybe I'm not smooth enough with my words, I can't compare to my brother in that aspect.

Mr. Shao raised an eyebrow and said, "You're quite direct and honest, aren't you"

"I don't want to waste your time," I said quietly.

He chuckled lightly: "Alright... I'll adjust my schedule and try to free up two hours for you... In half a month, I'll pass the message through Flight One, but the Lin family should know first. When the time comes, have Lin Yanhua accompany you."

“Good… thank you.” I nodded, thinking that I had finally reached the threshold of this temple's sacred ground.

Mr. Shao didn't eat. He turned his head and chatted with Shao Yihang for a few words, then hurriedly left.

Seven or eight dishes were laid out, and Shao Yihang and I looked at each other in surprise.

"Come on, dig in! Aren't you hungry" Shao Yihang picked up a skewer of roast duck spring roll and popped it into his mouth.

"...Your dad didn't ask your mom a single word." I sighed.

He paused for a moment, slowly chewing the duck roll in his mouth, and sneered: "Normal. Besides, he'd already been told all this by his secretary."

From ancient times, royal families have been devoid of familial affection, and aristocratic households have found harmony difficult.

The way of heaven is to benefit without harming; the way of man is to act without contention.

Once people yearn for fame and fortune, they will forget their original goodness. How many families are harmonious among those who are deeply involved in the pursuit of fame and wealth

"Hey hey, Miss Mu Xia Qiao, head of the Shen family, are you going to eat or not Finish up quickly, I'll send you back. I really don't want to be watched by Lin Yan Huan's eyes!" Shao Yi Hang frowned and said.

"...What do you mean"

Don't you know There are sentries around your house. Besides Lin Yanhuan, who else could have arranged this

I frowned, what did Lin Yanhuan mean

Protect me

Or...

Watch me.

Note: The way of heaven is to benefit without harming; the way of man is to act without striving. It means that the natural law is to benefit things rather than harm them; the law for human beings is to work diligently and earnestly, rather than vying for fame and fortune.d to the back of a wooden house.
