I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

"Shanshan, I heard that the Zhou family has a stock that's going to be listed in Country M. I think the young master of the Zhou family is really interested in you. You should be more careful and behave well. Be more proactive, okay?"

"Who cares about his wife or mistress? As long as this man's heart is with you, isn't that enough? I'm warning you, it was you who said you had to be included in the Shen family tree and become a daughter of the Shen family. If you want me to fulfill your wish, you must hook Zhou Yanheng. Do you hear me?"

"Shanshan, you have to save mom. I originally wanted to save some dowry for you and Yiyi, but I didn't expect to lose it all in futures trading. Now the market is bad and there's no way to raise money. If we don't cover our positions, we'll all be finished. Can you think of a way for mom? I see that the young master of the Zhou family still can't let you go. Go and beg him. As long as he's willing to help, this little money won't be a big deal. We are a family. For mom, can you bear the injustice just once?"

"Shan Shan..."

Jiang Huashan suddenly came back to his senses, followed the direction of Shen Zhuang's finger and looked at his knees, muttering, "Grandpa, I just want to make you happy, right?"

Just like she wanted to make Fang Mei happy before.

Shen Zhuang patted her knee gently. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's a good intention. But Shanshan, remember, someone who truly loves you won't be happy based on your compromise. They'll only feel bad for you. Anyone or anything that teaches you to give in and compromise is plundering you. They're robbing you of your most important qualities. Stay away from them if you encounter them."

Jiang Huashan understood immediately and stared at Shen Zhuang intently, "What if it was Grandpa?"

Shen Zhuang was slightly startled, his expression becoming kind and serious. "If Grandpa is like this, you should stay away too. Little Flower, has Grandma ever taught you that someone who truly loves you will definitely guide you upwards? This is the only criterion for love."

Even if I am in a chaotic nightmare, I will lead you to the light.

Jiang Huashan lowered his eyes and stared at his knees thoughtfully.

It seems that she had done a lot of compromising things before. No wonder she was later spurned and despised by the Whale Harbor Vanity Fair. It turned out that her knees had been bent for a long time.

It's important not to rush things. Shen Zhuang saw that she was in a bad mood and immediately stopped the topic, "Shen Zhi."

Shen Zhi had put away the bowl a long time ago, and when he came back he was holding a stack of documents in his hand. As soon as Shen Zhuang called out, he immediately handed the documents forward.

Shen Zhuang took the document, glanced at it, and then handed it to Jiang Huashan. Jiang Huashan was still thinking about how she was being manipulated and brainwashed, but suddenly a stack of contracts appeared in front of her. Three words in one of them brought her back to her senses.

Xiao Shen Garden.

Jiang Huashan was even more puzzled and looked at Shen Zhi in confusion, "Grandpa, what is this?"

Shen Zhuang, "This is a gift from grandpa."

Although she had guessed it, she was still flattered. The last time Xiao Shen Garden was given to her as a wedding gift, but this time it was given seven years earlier.

"Why?" Jiang Huashan didn't understand and asked awkwardly.

Shen Zhuang didn't tell her how expensive the gift was. He just smiled and explained, "I'm sorry you've been wronged. This is a small token of my appreciation from Grandpa."

No one knew that the events of Winter Garden today had planted a thorn in Shen Zhuang's heart. While he was still alive, Jiang Huashan could be brought to her knees by a single word. If he were gone one day, how would she cope with the wolves and tigers out there? Therefore, he had to give her more support in the limited time he had. Financial support was only the most basic guarantee.

Jiang Huashan looked at the black contract with white letters in front of him, and his vision suddenly became blurred.

She had never felt this kind of warmth since she awakened. It turned out that there was really someone who loved her so much, and was eager to give her the whole world as soon as she suffered a little grievance.

"grandfather……"

Seeing her red eyes about to cry, Shen Zhuang quickly coaxed her, "When I have some free time in a few days, Grandpa will take you to see this place. I remember there's a spring behind the manor. I'll have someone build a few pools for you. It would be nice to soak in the hot springs when you have time. If you're afraid of being lonely, Grandpa will have someone build another building so that your mother and sister can stay with you."

Jiang Huashan's heart trembled, and he reacted violently, "No! I don't want them to accompany me!"

"Last time" before her grandfather was buried, Fang Mei forced her to sell Xiaoshen Garden to pay off the debt. Out of guilt towards her grandfather, she did not agree. That was the first time she disobeyed Fang Mei in her life.

But she never expected that Fang Mei would not give her a single chance. Knowing that the first and second houses were incompatible, she still disregarded her reputation as the eldest house's daughter-in-law and took Jiang Wanyi to Shen Guiling.

Originally, Shen Lanxi disliked her. Fang Mei's defection made Shen Lanxi believe that she was the cause of all the troubles that had happened to the first wife. In anger, she drove her out of Shen Garden. In the end, she couldn't even attend her grandfather's funeral.

Therefore, this time Fang Mei must not be allowed to know about Xiao Shenyuan. She is not yet an adult and will be restricted in many things. Fang Mei is her guardian, and it would be easy for her to do anything.

"Grandpa, I don't want to take my mom and sister with me, and you must not tell them." Jiang Huashan grabbed Shen Zhuang's hand and reiterated.

Shen Zhuang was a little surprised. In the past, Jiang Huashan always thought of Fang Mei in everything, so why was he acting so abnormal today?

Jiang Huashan pouted, "Grandpa, Mom is partial. I don't want to bother with her and my sister right now."

The old man also disliked Fang Mei's behavior, but for Jiang Huashan's sake, he didn't care. He didn't comment much after hearing what she said, but just nodded and said, "Okay! Grandpa listens to you."

After eating the sweet soup, Shen Zhuang invited Jiang Huashan to eat in the courtyard. With Jiang Huashan's company, the old man felt much better and even ate half a bowl of rice for dinner. Shen Zhi saw this and inexplicably felt that the little girl from the Jiang family seemed to have a lot more spirit.

The old man and the young man were chatting in the yard, asking and answering questions, and the scene was particularly warm. Shen Zhi also knew what to do and quietly left the yard. He didn't expect to see someone coming from the corridor just after leaving the garden.

The man was wearing a well-ironed suit, his eyes were gentle and bright, and his every move and gesture showed the demeanor of a superior.

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward, "Sir."

Shen Qian paused, nodded and smiled, "Butler Shen."

Shen Qian is from the second wife and is the eldest son of Shen Zhuang. He is currently the Speaker of the National Assembly of Country A and is also affectionately called the Shadow President by the people of Country A.

The Shen family knew Mr. Shen's schedule well. He rarely visited at dinner time, so since he was here, it must be something important. Shen Zhi was very understanding and took the initiative to let Chu Dao lead the way.

"Miss Jiang is in the courtyard talking to the old man. Sir, do you need me to go in and ask for instructions first?"

Shen Qian seemed to be lost in thought. He had long known that the old man treated the adopted girl differently. After a moment's thought, he waved his hand and said, "No need to ask for instructions. How can a family have so many rules? Ah Ling, come with me to meet Grandpa."

Shen Zhi was stunned, and then he realized that there was a tall and thin young man following Shen Qian.

"Yes."

The boy called "A Ling" walked towards him from the backlight. When Shen Zhi saw the boy's outline clearly, he gasped and lost his composure.

The young man had a pair of naturally aristocratic phoenix eyes, with slender and bright eyelids. Seeing Shen Zhi looking at him, he nodded slightly, his eyelids first raised and then half-closed with a smile.

It is no exaggeration to say that the moment a smile appeared in his eyes, Shen Zhi suddenly felt a sense of wonder, as if he was peeking through the clouds to see the dawn.

All the children in Shen Garden are good-looking. Among the girls, Jiang Huashan is stunningly beautiful, and among the boys, Shen Lanxi is as pretty as a laurel. But the boy in front of him is too handsome. Even though Shen Zhi has seen the likes of Jiang Huashan and Shen Lanxi, he still can't help but be attracted by him.

"Who is this?" Shen Zhi looked at Shen Qian in confusion.

Shen Qian glanced at the young man beside him and said, "My son, Shen Guiling."
