The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

The two descendants simultaneously sank in expression and fell silent.

There was a tacit understanding, as if no one was willing to open this door for Shen Jingzhe.

However, the "uninvited guest" had already walked in uninvited at this time, and Secretary Xu, who was guarding outside the door, had no choice but to open the door for him.

"Grandpa, I heard that you suddenly fell ill. How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Shen Jingzhe seemed to have just discovered Shen Jingjue's presence. His deep pupils moved slightly and he smiled gently, "Jingjue is here too."

Shen Jingjue looked indifferent and nodded slightly, "Brother."

"If I had known Jingjue was here, I would have come to see you tomorrow, otherwise I would have been afraid of disturbing your rest." Shen Jingzhe came to the bedside in a wheelchair.

"Jingzhe, what are you talking about?"

Shen Nanhuai's smile was a little forced, and he said hurriedly, "It's just that it's so late, and you're not in good health and can't stand the tossing and turning, so there's really no need to come and see me specially."

Shen Jingzhe leaned forward slightly, and an imperceptible light flashed across his dark eyes. "From childhood to adulthood, grandpa has always been the best to me and the one who dotes on me the most. If you are sick and hospitalized and I can't be by your side to fulfill my filial duty, then what kind of person would I be, Shen Jingzhe?"

These words made Shen Nanhuai tremble under the quilt.

Shen Jingjue noticed that something was wrong with his grandfather. Although he had some doubts, he remained silent.

Not showing emotions on one's face, and not revealing one's thoughts. This is the most basic ethics for those in power who are in control of the overall situation.

So, for so many years, Shen Jingjue has been feeling depressed, lonely, and even desolate.

Recently, this complex emotion has been stirring up again in the lonely nights. He always feels empty around him, empty inside, and a chill surges through his lungs.

Shen Jingzhe's expression was gentle, "Grandpa, I have something to say. I want to talk to you alone. Is that okay?"

Shen Nanhuai looked at Shen Jingjue with a complicated look, "Is there anything important? Jingjue is not an outsider, but you can talk about it."

"Grandpa, you talk to my brother. I'm leaving first."

Shen Jingjue didn't want to stand there and be annoying, so he turned around and walked out of the ward with Secretary Xu.

The moment he closed the door, he vaguely heard Shen Jingzhe's voice, revealing a tenderness he had never seen before:

"Grandpa, I have someone I like."

Shen Jingjue's straight pine-like back stiffened and his thin lips subconsciously pursed.

Shen Nanhuai said in surprise, "Oh? Our Jingzhe has a crush on someone? Is she a girl from Country M? Or did you meet her in Shengjing?"

"This girl is not only known to you, but also to Jing Jue."

Shen Jingzhe's gentle smile filled his handsome and elegant face, "It's Tang Qiaoer, Miss Tang. I like her very much."

“What…?! You, you like Xiaoxiao?!” Shen Nanhuai’s pupils trembled, and his sick face became even paler.

Outside the door, Shen Jingjue heard every word exactly. Each word was like a very sharp needle piercing his chest.

Seemingly there was no damage, but slowly and silently, beads of full, bright red blood began to seep out from the skin's skin.

"Yes." Shen Jingzhe smiled and admitted it generously again.

Shen Nanhuai tried to remain calm, but his voice was still trembling, "When did it happen?"

"It happened without me noticing. How can I explain clearly about feelings?"

Shen Jingzhe lowered his eyelids, picked up the apple and fruit knife from the fruit bowl on the bedside table, and slowly peeled the apple, "Before, Miss Tang was Jingjue's beloved, they loved each other, I sincerely wish them well, and never thought of stealing someone's love.

After all, Jing Jue is my only brother, the one I saved with my own life. He had a hard life since he was young. He came to the Shen family with Aunt Zhong when he was young and was looked down upon by everyone in his childhood. His life lacked love, and now that he has someone he loves, I am naturally happy for him. "

Outside the door, Shen Jing felt a chill in his internal organs, and he secretly clenched his fingers tightly.

Shen Jingzhe's words seemed to be full of sympathy and consideration for him, but they were like a pair of invisible hands that opened the scars in his heart that had finally healed.

Since he became an adult, few people have mentioned his background. That is challenging the authority of the heir of the Shen family!

And Shen Jingzhe, intentionally or unintentionally, was touching his sensitive points. But this was his respected elder brother, so he could only endure it.

"But now, Jing Jue has separated from Miss Tang. Since he doesn't want it anymore, then I want it. Grandpa, you should support me, right?"

Shen Jingzhe curled his lips, half smiling, a complete apple peel fell, "I know that you have always liked Miss Tang and wanted her to be the granddaughter-in-law of our Shen family.

Miss Tang and Jing Jue are not destined to be together, so if I marry her, I can still fulfill your wish, right?"

It was an ordinary movement, elegant and calm, yet it gave people a strong, invisible sense of oppression.

Shen Jing felt his breathing was difficult and his brows were furrowed tighter and tighter.

Shen Nanhuai gasped with difficulty, his body stiffly supported, trying to sit up from the bed, but he had no strength:

"Jingzhe... It's not that you are bad, and it's not that grandpa doesn't support you. It's just that I know Xiaoxiao. She has Jingjue in her heart. In this life, there is only Jingjue, and she can't tolerate anyone else... If you force it... Xiaoxiao is stubborn and would rather break than yield. I'm afraid you won't have a good result."

"Nothing is difficult in the world if one sets his mind to it. I treat her with all my heart, and slowly, her heart will turn toward mine."

Shen Jingzhe's eyes were full of smiles, but the coldness emanating from his bones penetrated through his body and reached people's hearts, "I have plenty of patience.

I just want to ask Grandpa for an attitude. You won't stop me from pursuing Miss Tang, right? "

Shen Nanhuai could hardly control his expression, his cheek muscles twitched slightly, but he didn't know how to answer.

……

Shen Jingjue's eyes were cloudy. He held on to the wall, breathing heavily, and stumbled to the underground parking lot.

"Mr. Shen! What's wrong with you?!" Seeing this, Han Xian immediately ran over and supported him.

"medicine……"

Han Xian was stunned, "What?!"

Shen Jingjue's body was shaking uncontrollably. He reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a pack of blue pills.

Han Xian recognized at a glance that this was the medicine given by Mu Xueruo. He anxiously wanted to snatch it away, but Shen Jingjue was already impatient and poured it all into his mouth and swallowed it!

"Boss Shen! How could you take the medicine given by that woman?! She is the young master's person, you can't trust her! What if it's poison?!"

"Ah Xian... I can't bear it anymore..."

Shen Jingjue leaned heavily on Han Xian, his handsome face was covered with sweat, and his lips were pale, as if frozen. "I don't know... if it's the aftereffect of the medicine Xie Jinhuan gave me. I can only feel better after taking the medicine Mu Xuerou gave me..."

When Han Xian heard this, he felt a chill and an ominous premonition!

Shen Jingjue was helped into the car, and the luxury car sped away.

Only when the taillights disappeared did Mu Xuerou slowly walk out from behind the pillar. She sneered and picked up the phone, putting it to her ear:

"Sir, Shen Jingjue's drug addiction has kicked in. He can't live without 'Crystal Ice' anymore."

"It took him so long to start taking it. My brother is definitely stronger-willed than I thought."

In the cold and gloomy night, the man's voice was lingering, as if it came from hell, "But I was born to like challenging things, whether it's for him or Miss Tang."

Mu Xuerou said coldly, "Are you ready to take action?"

"Plan A5 is an opportunity. Be patient and wait for the right opportunity to strike."

*

Three days later.

Tang Qiaoer had just finished hosting the consortium's regular meeting and came out of the conference room when Lin Su came up to her:

"Miss, I have found out the current home address of the mother of the maid named Huang Meng."

Tang Qiaoer's eyes were solemn, and she opened her red lips, "Prepare the car, and go over immediately!"
