Unbridled, Depraved

Xie's old house.

Mr. Xie was in a good mood today. After having two drinks with his old comrades, he felt exhausted and went back to rest early.

After the old men left, the banquet hall where the birthday party was held became a place of fame and fortune for the young people.

In the bustling banquet hall, the lights were bright and people were drinking and drinking.

The intoxicating aroma of wine overflowed from the glass, and the lively Peking Opera was replaced by a symphony suitable for waltzing.

As the orchestra played Shostakovich's "Waltz No. 2", the men in the banquet hall invited dance partners and started dancing.

A melodious tune echoed in the air. Shen Qianhe hung up the phone, held a glass of champagne, and sat alone in the quiet back garden, staring at the colorful koi in the pond in a daze.

Ye Xiangan and Shen Mu were unusually quiet today. After congratulating Mr. Xie on his birthday, they followed Xie Xian back to their own courtyard early.

Counting the days, Shen Mu is now two months pregnant.

In her previous life, she caught Ye Xiangan and Shen Mu in bed on their wedding night. Not long after, she learned that Shen Mu was pregnant at Mr. Xie's 80th birthday party.

Shen Mu calculated the time of her pregnancy in order to assert her sovereignty to Shen Qianhe.

She wanted Shen Qianhe to know that even if she successfully married Ye Xiangan, she would just be an abandoned woman that Ye Xiangan didn't want.

And she, Shen Mu, is the real mistress of the Ye family.

In fact, she did achieve her goal. Whether in the previous life or this life, she got what she wanted.

But what good can you do if you get it?

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing his banquet guests, seeing his building collapsed.

Since Ye Xiangan could betray me, Shen Qianhe, why wouldn't he betray you, Shen Mu?

Since ancient times, men have been fickle, especially men like Ye Xiangan.

The pond is full of lush aquatic plants, with dots of brilliant colors faintly visible among the green leaves.

A black koi carp waved its broad tail fin vigorously, stirring up a series of splashes of water. It swayed its body and kept chasing a red koi carp.

After several times, many small yellow particles were discharged from the red koi's body.

This is koi mating and laying eggs.

A brilliant idea suddenly flashed through Shen Qianhe's mind, and then he curved his lips and smiled.

Shen Mu, ah, Shen Mu.

This time, let you have a taste of what it feels like to be betrayed by both your lover and your relatives at the same time.

"What is Miss Shen looking at so intently?"

A gentle female voice suddenly sounded. Shen Qianhe was startled and looked up, only to find that the person who spoke was a noble lady in her fifties.

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Shen Qianhe felt a little surprised.

Because she called herself Miss Shen, not Mrs. Xie.

This is intriguing.

Everyone who came to the banquet today was a savvy person in the upper social circles. No one would make such a low-level mistake, unless...

She called it wrong on purpose.

Shen Qianhe smiled back, with a puzzled tone: "Excuse me, who are you......"

The woman smiled with a graceful face, "Miss Shen, don't you remember me?"

"My last name is Wei. I was your mother Xu Shuqin's college classmate. I held you in my arms when you were little."

"..."

Half an hour later, Shen Qianhe returned to the banquet hall with a surly look on his face.

"Where have you been?"

Xie Jincheng came over. He was not wearing glasses, his eyes were deep, and he looked down at her condescendingly.

"I sat in the small garden at the back and watched the koi for a while."

"Just looking at the koi?"

The man's tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.

"Ah."

Shen Qianhe smiled sweetly at the man, "Hubby, I'm a little tired."

A hint of darkness flashed across Xie Jincheng's eyes. He didn't respond, and just listened to Shen Qianhe continue:

"I heard that each of you has a big yard. Where is your yard? I haven't been there yet. I want to go and see it."

"it is good."

Xie Jincheng said nothing more. He waved his hand and the servant standing not far away came over immediately and asked respectfully, "Sir, what do you want?"

"Send the lady back to her room."

"Yes, sir."

The Xie family's old house was very large. Shen Qianhe followed the servants through several corridors and even took a five-minute sightseeing bus in the middle before arriving in front of a magnificent courtyard.

"Ma'am, we're here."

The two burly bodyguards standing at the door quickly opened the gate in unison. Shen Qianhe walked into the courtyard with a smile and elegant steps.

This courtyard is very different from Mr. Xie’s traditional Chinese-style courtyard.

Xie Jincheng's courtyard adopts the design concept of classical Baroque style.

The spacious lawn spreads out before your eyes like a green carpet, the carefully arranged fountains sparkle with crystal clear water droplets under the lights, and the sparkling swimming pool is like a huge sapphire inlaid in it.

Entering the main building, the decoration inside is even more luxurious and elegant.

From the marble floor on the ground floor to the dome ceiling on the top floor, everything reveals the designer's ultimate pursuit of details.

On the walls of the living room hang masterpieces by 18th-century artists, and on the table are priceless antique porcelain.

Shen Qianhe took two steps inside and when he looked up, he saw a night-shining pearl with a diameter of one meter and a color as warm as jade placed in the corner of the living room.

The base below the night pearl is even more ingenious. It is carved from precious golden nanmu wood and presents a lifelike pattern of nine dragons playing with the pearl.

Nine giant dragons are circling and entwined, each with a different expression. Each dragon scale is carved with delicate and subtle texture, demonstrating an unparalleled noble temperament.

However, in such a European-style living room, there was such a Chinese night pearl. At first glance, Shen Qianhe felt that it was somewhat out of place.

She glanced at the servant beside her and asked, "Is this night-shining pearl collected by Xie Jincheng?"

The servant replied, "This was collected by the lady when she was alive. It was previously placed at the master's place. After the lady passed away, the master placed it here."

It turned out to be Xie Jincheng's mother's stuff.

Shen Qianhe looked around the Night Pearl and praised it highly: "It seems that my mother-in-law is also a collector who understands art. Look at the quality of this Night Pearl. It must be worth at least five or six small goals."

The servant's eyes flashed with surprise: "So you know all this, Madam. You are right, Madam is not only an excellent architectural designer, but also a collector with a unique vision."

"I see!"

Shen Qianhe smiled harmlessly, "Can you take me to have a look?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, "Well...I need to ask the master for instructions."

"Forget it, I just said it casually."

Shen Qianhe waved his hand, "Which floor is the bedroom on?"

"Your and your husband's bedroom is on the third floor, ma'am."

"Okay, take me upstairs."

After getting out of the elevator, Shen Qianhe entered the master bedroom under the guidance of the servant.

As she carefully looked at the layout and furnishings in the room, she asked casually, "I think this building has at least 5 floors. Is Xie Jincheng the only one living in such a big yard?"

The servant replied, "The bodyguards and the servants who are responsible for cleaning, tidying up, and cooking all live in the annex building opposite. This main building has always been the residence of the lady and the gentleman. After the lady passed away, the gentleman moved out."

"Oh, that's how it is."

After hearing the answer, Shen Qianhe nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"Okay, go and rest. I'll call you if anything happens."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Qianhe finished her shower and changed into a set of silk pajamas. Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she suddenly heard a strange noise coming from inside the house.

She walked straight outside, thinking that it must be Xie Jincheng who came back.

However, when she saw the man standing in front of her clearly, she screamed in fear!

"Wei Guan! Why is it you?!"

Shen Qianhe's face was filled with astonishment, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.

The man placed his finger lightly on his lips, making a gesture of silence, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Shen, I'm here to help you."

"..."
