Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 30
Chapter 0
“Boom thump-”
The muffled sound of the crutches hitting the floor stopped the noise downstairs, and Shen Ting did not follow the crowd to look up.
There were several people standing at the mahogany railing on the second floor. The man surrounded by them looked like frost, looking down in the direction where he and Lian Jue were.
The other party’s too sharp eyes made Shen Tingwei panic for no reason, and then he felt his lower back sink, and Lian Jue’s arm came over.
Shen Tingwei had no intuition what relationship that person might have with Lian Jue, because that person had an aura that was very similar to Lian Jue.
Facts quickly proved his conjecture.
I don’t know which uncle or uncle in the crowd spoke first and focused on them – “Xiaojue brought someone here?”
Lian Jue raised his head and called out, “Dad, second uncle, younger uncle.”
Chen Chulian had a sullen face and didn’t answer.
The second uncle coughed lightly and said complainingly, “Lian Jue is your truth, why do you bring everyone home.”
“Not an outsider.” Lian Jue said with a smile.
“Hey, big brother, what you said is wrong.” The man who was arrogant and domineering in front of the two interjected, raised his eyebrows to look at Lian Jue, and said ambiguous, “This person may not be an outsider to you, but not to us. Certainly—let me introduce myself.”
“Chen Xu.” Uncle frowned, trying to stop his behavior regardless of the occasion.
Lian Jue glanced at Chen Xu without emotion, as if he was reminded: “Yes, it’s time to introduce.”
He hooked Shen Tingwei’s waist, took the person a little bit forward, and introduced to everyone in a very solemn tone: “This is my legal partner.”
As soon as the words fell, the whole room was in an uproar, and the elders on the second floor turned blue: “This…”
Lian Jue seemed to be unaware of the strange atmosphere around him, turned his head to look at Shen Tingwei, with a seemingly gentle smile on his face, and said, “Call someone.”
Shen Tingwei was trying to extract valuable information from the current situation, and rarely saw Lian Jue’s smile other than sarcasm, so he was inevitably distracted for a short while in his eyes. But soon he calmed down, looked back at the elder on the second floor, and according to Lian Jue’s request, he called out, “Dad.”
He was hesitating whether he should bring the others with him like Lian Jue, but he really couldn’t tell which one should be called.
Lian Jue pulled him back to his side at this moment, and explained to Chen Chulian insincerely: “Some time ago, I was busy with the company’s overseas bidding this year, and I even took time to register and get married, and I didn’t have time to bring it back to you earlier. .”
After a long period of silence, the second uncle standing beside Chen Chulian was furious: “Lian Jue, what do you mean?”
“What?” Lian Jue asked without changing his face.
Shen Ting didn’t realize that even Jue’s ability to act stupid was first-rate.
Lian Jue didn’t care about everyone’s faces, and his smile was gentle: “It’s just a coincidence today that I brought him with me. If the second uncle doesn’t like it, I won’t bring him in the future.”
“You!” The second uncle blushed a little because of his anger.
It is no secret at home that Chen Chulian intends to marry Chen Ningxue to Lian Jue.
Last month, Chen Chulian mentioned it at the wedding banquet. Although the purpose of today’s “family banquet” was not put on the bright side, the elders were tacitly aware of it – Lian Jue replaced Chen Chulian to manage the whole. The group naturally means nothing, not to mention the right to speak in the Chen family. So in the matter of engagement, no matter how strong his personal will is, as long as Chen Chulian speaks, he still has to marry Chen Ningxue obediently.
But obviously, no one thought that Lian Jue would be so daring and dare to let Chen Chu down in public, in such a provocative way.
No one dared to speak out for a long time.
Chen Chulian’s face turned blue and green, and the Huanghuali cane in his hand made a very soft but harsh sound on the marble floor due to force, as if to break something.
Quiet, or peace in the eyes of outsiders.
The second uncle pointed at Lian Jue and said sharply, “It’s against you, right? Do you know what day it is today!”
As soon as his words came out, there was a little disturbance on the first floor.
“What day?” Chen Xu raised his head and asked, but the younger uncle stopped him with his eyes. The younger uncle whispered something to the second uncle, and then looked at Lian Jue dissatisfiedly, “Lian Jue, don’t forget all these years. …”
“Forgot what? How did the Chen family raise me for so many years?” Lian Jue was almost numb to this set of immutable moral kidnappings, he glanced at Chen Chulian with a smile, “The Chen family took great pains to I brought it back, and kindly picked up a word for me, of course I will not forget this kindness.”
Shen Tingwei looked at Lian Jue in surprise, and immediately felt an awkward feeling of unintentionally spying into other people’s privacy, as well as a very strange psychology, the more he didn’t want to explore, the more he couldn’t help but continue to speculate along the secret.
The second uncle pointed at Lian Jue’s hand and trembled: “In the beginning, why did you choose you white-eyed wolf!”
“I think the second uncle is too old to remember things.” Lian Jue’s expression remained unchanged, and he reminded, “I was not selected by the Chen family, but was admitted.”
Shen Ting was not listening in the clouds and fog, but Lian Jue’s words clearly meant something, and everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Chen Chulian’s face was really ugly, and he pursed his lips.
“But I’ve been in the Chen family for so many years, I don’t dare to take credit for it, and the hard work is not less.” Lian Jue slowly restrained his smile, and his tone became a little cold, “It’s time to repay the kindness of raising a few years early in the morning. .”
The crutches tapped hard on the ground twice.
Chen Chu had thin and obvious blue veins on his temples. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes were directed at Lian Jue. His voice was unusually cold: “It really is an unfamiliar dog.”
This is too unpleasant to say, even Shen Tingwei felt uncomfortable, turned his head to look at Lian Jue, but found that Lian Jue’s expression and movements had not changed at all, and he was still relaxed.
Lian Jue hooked Shen Tingwei’s waist and laughed softly.
“You should have known.” Lian Jue said.
When the voice fell, something smashed over on the second floor, making a muffled sound on Shen Tingwei’s ear, and then rolled around on the ground for a few times before it stopped when it hit the foot of the table.
He lowered his eyes subconsciously to see that it was a wooden dragon head.
The faucet broke from the neck, and the debris of the mahogany fell to the ground. Shen Ting didn’t recognize it for a while, guessing that it was on Chen Chulian’s crutch.
Yu Guangli Lianjue’s sleeve moved slightly imperceptibly, as if he wanted to raise his hand, but for some reason he held back and retracted his hand.
It was only then that Shen Tingwei noticed that the cheekbones on Lian Jue’s side were slightly red, and there seemed to be scratches on the skin.
Lian Jue doesn’t seem to be a person who can endure pain too much, and his brows furrowed, but the magnitude is too small to be seen.
Chen Chulian said loudly: “Take your people, get out!”
“This… Mr. Lian, please.” The housekeeper who led them in said to them.
When he came, he was a bright and beautiful guest, but when he left, he was a disgraced underdog. Saying please is better than using a bomb.
Lin Chen was still waiting in the car, as if he knew the result for a long time, and quickly opened the car door for them after they got out.
The car drove out of the Chen family compound and drove a long distance on the empty suburban road. Lin Chen said, “Mr. Lian, where are you going?”
Lian Jue’s straight back slackened slightly and leaned back in the chair: “South.”
It may be that Shen Ting has not been staring at Lian Jue for a long time. Lian Jue frowned and looked very bad, and asked him impatiently, “What are you looking at?”
Shen Tingwei looked at the swollen wound on his cheekbones and wanted to point it to him, but just raised his hand, he pointed to his face instead: “It’s broken here.”
Lian Jue frowned and said, “Yeah.”
After a while, he asked, “What else are you looking at?”
Shen Ting did not shake his head and said nothing.
Lian Jue was annoyed that he was half-speaking, so he still looked at him.
Shen Tingwei touched his earlobe unnaturally, and said embarrassingly, “It’s really nothing… I just think you look a little…”
Shen Ting didn’t want to talk about loneliness, but felt it was inappropriate, so he had to shut up.
Lian Jue may have guessed what he said later, glanced at him, retracted his gaze, and looked out of the window.
Shen Tingwei repeated it again in a low voice: “Uh, it’s okay.”
The car stopped at the entrance of the Nanjiao villa, and Lin Chen said, “It’s here.”
There were no lights on in the yard, and only one front row light was on in the car.
Shen Tingwei was not in a hurry to get out of the car, he looked at Lian Jue with half of his face in the dark.
Lian Jue was adopted. Judging from the situation just now, he might not be doing so well in the Chen family. Therefore, Shen Tingwei, who also lost his parents because he came to this world, gave birth to a feeling of being connected with each other for no reason.
He suspects that he may be pregnant, and his mother’s love is overflowing a bit inexplicably, so that he thinks that Lian Jue may need someone to take care of him today.
He hesitantly called out, “Mr. Lian?”
Lian Jue looked over, his eyes were light, as if he was still blaming him for being meddlesome just now.
Shen Tingwei looked at his face, plucked up his courage and asked, “Do you want to go in and treat the wound? It needs to be disinfected or something.”
The car was parked in the yard, and Lin Chen and the driver stayed in the car and waited.
Shen Ting did not find the medicine box from the room, and used absorbent cotton to dip in saline to clean up the wound for Lianjue.
Lian Jue was sitting on the sofa, and Shen Tingwei was sitting next to him, because Lian Jue did not cooperate with turning around and had to get close.
He looked at Lian Jue’s face with some worry: “I don’t know if it will leave a scar.”
Lian Jue could clearly see the thin and long eyelashes that drooped slightly from his gaze, the shape of his extremely beautiful lips, and the white marks that his teeth had bitten on the lower lip.
Lian Jue recalled that before Shen Ting was not sitting on the bed watching movies intently, he was habitually biting his lower lip. Even the state of concentration seems to be seducing someone.
After cleaning the wound, Shen Ting did not take a cotton swab to apply medicine to Lian Jue.
In fact, the abrasions on Lian Jue’s face were not obvious, mainly because of smashing injuries, which resulted in a wide range of redness and swelling.
Shen Tingwei had no choice but to move lighter on his hands.
But the swab is so small that it is difficult to maintain consistent pressure to touch the wound, so that it occasionally hurts. Perhaps because of face, Lian Jue didn’t stop her, but her brows furrowed deeper.
Shen Tingwei was too close, so he heard his shallow gasp and said a little apologetically, “I’m sorry, I hurt you.”
When he spoke, the breath was sprayed on Lian Jue’s face, and the wound that had been medicated was blown cold, causing Lian Jue to frown again unconsciously.
Just as he was about to say it was okay, Shen Tingwei’s face suddenly came closer, and when those beautiful lips came over, there was an unnatural pause in Lian Jue’s movements that should have been avoided.
Then, he felt a thin and hot air rushing towards him.
Shen Tingwei blew lightly at his wound, as if making up for the mistake just now, and asked guiltily, “Is it better?”
Shen Tingwei’s excessively white chin and neck made it difficult for Lian Jue to turn his attention elsewhere. He didn’t answer for a long time, and when Shen Tingwei was about to continue blowing, he raised his hand and grasped his too slender wrist.
Shen Tingwei was stunned for a moment at Shanglianjue’s gloomy and unclear expression. He realized that he was being rude, and quickly said, “I’m sorry.”
Just as he was about to get up, Lian Jue let go of him and said, “Okay.”
Shen Tingwei retracted his hand silently and pulled the distance between the two too close. He pointed to Lianjue’s face and said as if to make up for it: “If the wound is better, you can apply some more medicine.” After thinking about it. After thinking, he comforted, “The wound is very shallow, and there should be no scars.”
“Yeah.” Lian Jue stood up and said something similar to saying goodbye to him for the first time, “I’m going back.”
Shen Tingwei backed away unnaturally and gave up the position between the sofa and the coffee table: “Okay… pay attention to safety.”
