This sound was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples.

Almost at the same time, everyone in the hall looked at Jiang Huashan.

Shen E was the first to react and quickly stood up with a smile, "Shanshan is back? I haven't seen you for a few years. You're so beautiful that I can hardly recognize you."

Jiang Huashan never imagined that the first person to "show goodwill" to her would be Shen E, who had looked down on her in every way in the past.

Shen E had changed dramatically. Once, she had everything going for her, her plump figure pampered and beautiful, a figure who looked like she had been pampered by the rich and powerful. But in just a few years, that air of wealth and arrogance had faded, and a look of fatigue was evident between her brows.

Jiang Huashan smiled and nodded, maintaining basic politeness, "Aunt."

"Oh, okay." Shen E quickly responded, turned around to look at Xiao Lanlan, and took the initiative to say, "I heard that you were coming back today, so Lanlan and I came to see you all. Lanlan?"

Xiao Lanlan had already stood up when Jiang Huashan spoke, and took the initiative to make room for her. When Shen E gestured to her, she didn't refuse as she had before, but greeted her with a smile.

"Shanshan, long time no see." Although her attitude was not as attentive as Shen'e's, there was nothing wrong with it.

Everyone present knew the secret that happened back then, and they all had different expressions as they waited for Jiang Huashan's reaction.

Jiang Huashan looked at Xiao Lanlan in front of him, and felt inexplicably emotional.

In her previous life, she had never seen Xiao Lanlan since her disgraceful exit. The last time she heard from her was after Zhou Yanheng's death, when she hanged herself with a rope in the monastery.

But in this life, she is very different. She returns brightly, like a rose with thorns.

Jiang Huashan nodded without hesitation, "I heard you were coming back, Sister Lanlan, welcome home."

Shen E was slightly stunned, as if she hadn't expected Jiang Huashan to be so respectful. Seeing that Xiao Lanlan was distracted and hadn't responded, she hurried to help make amends, "Shanshan, you're so thoughtful. Oh, by the way! When she came back this time, Lanlan was thinking of you and prepared gifts for all of you little sisters. What happened in the past..."

Jiang Huashan smiled, looking sensible. "Aunt, you said that was in the past. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge among family members. Let's not talk about it anymore."

Before coming, Shen Yuan had repeatedly reminded Shen E that Jiang Huashan was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. Shen E was mentally prepared to be made difficult, but she didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to, which made it difficult for her to cope.

Shen E glanced at Shen Jiao with a complicated expression, then smiled, "Yes, Shanshan, you are right."

Jiang Huashan cleared his throat and looked at Shen Zhuang with a slightly evasive look, "Grandpa? I'm back~"

Shen Zhuang said with a straight face, "I heard it."

She had just made such a commotion, under normal circumstances, the old man would have greeted her with a smile. But now he ignored her, apparently still remembering that she had left without saying goodbye.

Jiang Huashan knew he was in the wrong, so he went forward to ask for praise, "Grandpa, I brought all three of them back. Am I awesome?"

Shen Zhuang raised his eyelids and looked at her. "Great, you're becoming more and more resourceful."

How come grandpa has also learned to be sarcastic?

Jiang Huashan secretly cried out that something was wrong, and quickly suppressed her smile, pretending to be about to cry, "Oh~ I get it, now that someone is making grandpa happy, I am no longer welcome."

Shen Zhuang frowned, raised one eye and glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I stop liking you?"

Jiang Huashan took the opportunity to chime in, "Then where's my little round stool? Why isn't it put out there?"

Over the years, as Jiang Huashan's popularity grew, her status also rose. While everyone else sat on Shen Zhuang's left and right, she was the only one who had a round stool and could sit wherever she wanted in the large hall.

"I asked someone to put it away when you were away." Shen Zhuang said, looking back at Zheng Song, "Hurry up and move it out for her, so she won't start talking nonsense."

Xiao Lanlan watched Jiang Huashan and Shen Zhuang interacting as if they were alone, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little. She hesitated for a moment and silently retreated back to Shen E's side.

Three years ago, she was her grandfather's favorite granddaughter, but now things have changed.

Shen E saw Xiao Lanlan's mood and quickly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

I don’t know when it started, but everyone’s focus has shifted from Xiao Lanlan to Jiang Huashan.

Jiang Huashan vividly recounted his entire experience of traveling to Country S, with mixed truths and lies. Just as he was talking about Shen Qingyu choking Shen Guiling on the plane, another large force entered the hall.

Shen Qingyu changed into a set of fresh clothes, but her heartbeat, which had just calmed down, was instantly provoked again by this heartless boy.

Are she and Shen Guiling so close? She actually told him off in front of the old man?

Shen Qian had always disliked Shen Yuan, and when he heard that Shen Qingyu had actually attacked Shen Guiling on the plane, he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "What does a kid know? Who knows who instigated him."

Shen Yuan smiled wryly, "Brother, are you pointing fingers at me? Then why not ask Qing Yu, who instigated this?"

Who in the Shen family didn't know that Shen Qingyu was always against Shen Yuan? Shen Yuan just thought that Shen Qian was old and confused, and wanted to put all the blame on him.

Shen Zhuang hated to see brothers fighting each other. He looked at Shen Qingyu with a cold face, "What's going on?"

Shen Qingyu was rebellious. He glanced at Jiang Huashan coldly and pointed at Shen Yuan. "It's my dad. He saw that my uncle was not feeling well recently, so he asked me to make things difficult for Brother Aling. I was just joking with Brother Aling to give my dad an explanation. Right, Brother Aling?"

"..." Shen Yuan was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, and raised his hand to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.

Shen Guiling raised her eyes, calm and composed, "It's not fun, I'm still dizzy now."

Shen Qian reacted quickly, pointing his finger at Shen Yuan's nose, "I told you you have ulterior motives and are a ruthless person!"

At this moment, Shen Lanxi walked past everyone as if it had nothing to do with her and she was independent of the world.

"Grandpa." He greeted him lightly and found a place to sit down and watch the show.

Shen Zhuang pinched his brows and knocked on the table, "Alright! Shut up. Those who can't speak properly, get out."

Shen Qian and Shen Yuan suppressed their anger and retreated.

Shen Zhuang's eyes wandered between Shen Guiling and Shen Qingyu, then he raised his hand and pointed at Shen Qingyu, "You, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. When you have knelt down and become stubborn, you can stand up again."

Shen Qingyu assassinated the royal family of S country. Even if the Bai family did not pursue the matter, the Shen family could not fail to give an explanation.

Being forced to kneel in the ancestral hall was a punishment that couldn't be any lighter. Shen Qingyu had nothing to provoke, so he bowed deeply to Shen Zhuang. When he stood up, he gave Jiang Huashan a deep look before turning and leaving the hall.

Jiang Huashan: “…”
