In a private room of a tavern in the center of Jiangjin City.

Sheng Yuan and Sheng Yang sat opposite each other.

The waiter brought their ordered dishes to the table and then left, closing the door of the private room.

They are now in a secret space isolated from the outside world.

Best for talking about things that cannot be heard by others.

Sheng Yuan shook the wine glass, and the rich and pungent aroma of alcohol overflowed, and he couldn't help but frown.

The dishes on the table were all fast food such as fried chicken and French fries, which gave off a greasy smell. Sheng Yuan, who was strict with his figure, would not usually touch such food.

He lowered his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help asking in a mocking tone: "I didn't expect you to choose this kind of place."

This kind of occasion is really inconsistent with the places Sheng Yang usually goes to.

Sheng Yang didn't mind. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried chicken, and put it in his mouth and started chewing.

Some pieces of puff pastry fell down the corners of his mouth.

Sheng Yuan frowned, put down his wine glass, folded his hands over his chest, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Sheng Yang opposite him with deep eyes.

"Uncle..." Sheng Yang's voice was a little unclear with food in his mouth. "Occasionally, eating these tacky things will bring unexpected surprises. You will know if you try it yourself."

Sheng Yuan was in no mood to listen to Sheng Yang's opinions on food.

"What exactly do you want to talk about by inviting me to this place?" Sheng Yuan narrowed his eyes and his gaze became sharp.

Sheng Yang avoided his gaze and said lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that we haven't had a heart-to-heart talk like this in a long time. Uncle, you're only a few years older than me. When we were little, I was the one who clung to you the most... I don't know when our relationship became distant..."

Thinking of his childhood, Sheng Yang was moved for a moment.

His feelings towards Sheng Yuan are very complicated and cannot be summed up by the two words like or hate.

Sheng Yuan still looked cold, "Stop talking nonsense."

He knew Sheng Yang had gone to so much trouble to ask him out today. It couldn't be to rekindle their old friendship.

Is it about Shengshi Group? Or is it about Lin Mingmo?

"Cough cough cough..." Sheng Yang choked and quickly took a big gulp of beer before swallowing the food in his mouth. "Uncle, I actually just want to know, when did you and that woman start...?"

Sheng Yuan looked at him in silence.

Sheng Yang chuckled contemptuously, "It must have started when she was still in the Sheng family. Before, you acted in various ways, defending her on the one hand, and then trying to get me to keep my distance on the other. I thought you were genuinely thinking about me, but now I realize you were acting out of your own selfish motives."

Sheng Yuan paused and chuckled, "So what? I'm not a saint. Isn't it normal to have selfish motives?"

Hearing this, Sheng Yang also laughed.

"Uncle, I just find it quite interesting." Sheng Yang shook his head and picked up another piece of fried chicken to eat. "You picked up the woman I looked down upon..."

"But I have to admit, you have a sharp eye. You actually knew she was Mo Bozhao's daughter all along. Even if she can't make it in the Sheng family, she can still become a son-in-law in the Mo family..." Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow, his eyes frivolous and teasing, with a strong sense of irony, "Uncle, don't you agree?"

Sheng Yuan's eyes darkened a little, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth was wrapped in coldness.

He remained silent.

The momentum is terrifying.

Sheng Yang sensed Sheng Yuan's anger and stopped immediately.

It hurts when my uncle hits me.

In the early years, he had to pay a lot of money to others because he injured them. It was only in recent years that he became more restrained.

Sheng Yang changed the subject, "Today at Grandma's, I heard you say that as long as it would allow you to return to Sheng Shi, you would be willing to cut off contact with that woman. This shows that she is not that important to you."

"So you are afraid that I will return to Shengshi and shake your position?" Sheng Yuan stared into the depths of Sheng Yang's eyes with a dim gaze.

Sheng Yang paused for a moment, not even chewing his teeth.

Having his thoughts exposed so directly, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed and dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid? Ha." Sheng Yang sat up straight and looked back at Sheng Yuan with cold eyes. "Uncle, you should know your current situation in the Sheng family without me reminding you, right? What can you use to shake me?"

"Right now, my father is the largest shareholder of Shengshi Group, and in the future, it will be me."

Sheng Yang is very confident about this matter.

"Oh?" Sheng Yuan picked up his glass, took a sip of the cheap beer in it, and frowned. "He's your father now, but what about in the future? Don't forget, Sheng Huaiyu also has a son. Although he's in the Linjiang branch, he's made a lot of achievements over the years. In terms of qualifications, ability, connections, and persuasiveness, how is he not better than you?"

As Sheng Yuan's speech became faster and faster and his voice became colder and colder, Sheng Yang's brows became more and more furrowed, and his expression gradually lost the confidence he had just had.

"You mean Sheng Ye?"

Sheng Ye is Sheng Huaiyu's eldest son and the father of the baby who died in the car accident. He is also the eldest brother of Sheng Yang's generation and is one year older than Sheng Yuan.

After the car accident, Sheng Ye, who lost his beloved son, was extremely sad and couldn't get over it even after a long time of recovery.

Later, when the leadership of Shengshi Group's branch in Linjiang changed, Sheng Ye took the initiative to propose to go to the Linjiang branch.

Once gone, it will be five years.

During these five years, he had much less contact with this place and rarely returned to Jiangjin. He was only occasionally seen in the good news released by Shengshi Group.

Sheng Yang naturally forgot about such a person.

"He...he left Shengshi Group a long time ago." Sheng Yang took a big gulp of wine, his face showing disdain. "What kind of competitiveness can he have?"

"Although Sheng Huaiyu's family doesn't usually fight or compete, and they keep a low profile...your relationship with He Manman is undoubtedly a stab in the back of their family." Sheng Yuan said darkly, "If it were me, I would break my own bones to make you shed a layer of skin."

Sheng Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, and when he said these words, it was even more terrifying.

Sheng Yang appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, he had goose bumps all over his body.

He remembered the conversation between his father and him in his grandmother's room before, and it seemed that Sheng Huaiyu was making some moves.

He suddenly felt uneasy.

Seeing his expression change, Sheng Yuan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and took another sip of beer, which he also felt was a little sweeter than the previous one.

"Uncle...you knew they were this kind of people, so why did you support me and Manman being together?" Sheng Yang asked angrily with a sullen look on his face, "You...you weren't doing this for my own good from the beginning!"

Sheng Yuan had calmly diverted Sheng Yang's attention and was very calm in the face of his anger.

"I'm not responsible for anyone's consequences." Sheng Yuan said calmly, "You're not unaware of those things."

"You have to bear the consequences of your actions. Sheng Yang, do you need me to teach you this?"

"You--" Sheng Yang stood up angrily, picked up the plate on the table and threw it at Sheng Yuan.
