Chapter 412 Uncontrollable
Chapter 412 Uncontrollable
The old master of the Sheng family preferred quiet and lived in a manor on the mountain. This magnificent old house became the place where Sheng Jingyao could act recklessly and do whatever he wanted.
He commanded everyone with great fanfare, afraid of making the slightest mistake.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the old man was coming home tonight.
The old butler stood outside, gossiping with the servants: "Come on, if it were the old master coming back, would he act like this?"
The servant who had been speculating immediately fell silent.
After all, the old butler was right; the old man and everyone in the Sheng family didn't hold that position in the young master's heart.
Sheng Jingyao then went to the kitchen and carefully checked all the ingredients for dinner.
Her meticulousness and dedication were so great that even the old housekeeper had to admit defeat.
That girl is truly remarkable for raising her young master to be like this.
At that moment, Sheng Jingyao received a phone call, and the smile on his face instantly faded.
"I heard you brought a woman back?"
The questioning tone was palpable, and even through the phone, one could sense the unpleasant expression on the other end's face.
Sheng Jingyao didn't answer, but glared at the old butler: "You're tattling?"
The old butler exclaimed, "I'm innocent! How dare I complain?"
This kid threatens him with his pension all the time, so how could he dare to betray him?
Upon hearing Sheng Jingyao's voice, the middle-aged man opposite paused for a moment: "It's not Old Zhao, but your actions have made a huge fuss, and everyone knows about it. It's hard not to know."
Sheng Jingyao: "Oh."
"..."
The middle-aged man was so angry at this indifferent attitude that he gritted his teeth.
That brat, he's really good at infuriating people.
“I can’t control what you do outside, but if you bring someone back so openly, do you think you’ll get away with it?”
"And putting aside that girl's family background, she's stringing you along while also stringing someone else along, two-timing you..."
Sheng Jingyao interrupted him: "Stop! What do you mean by 'two-timing'? It's clearly your son who's shameless and insists on getting involved."
The middle-aged man opposite him fell silent again.
His son... isn't that brat?
This little brat gets so ruthless he even curses himself!
Sheng Jingyao continued speaking into his phone: "Instead of reflecting on your own failure to raise your son properly, you blame others for your mistakes. How could I have a father like you!"
"And so what if I'm really two-timing? This is something I fought hard for. If I get kicked out because of you, you can expect your son to be a bachelor for life!"
Threat, naked threat.
The old butler stood to the side, silently sympathizing with the middle-aged man opposite him.
Do you think someone obsessed with love will listen to reason?
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Jingyao looked at the old butler: "Find out who is the traitor."
The old butler said, "Yes, young master. But this matter will surely reach the old master's ears. Would you like to make a phone call?"
Even if the young master is favored, the old master still calls the shots in the Sheng family.
Sheng Jingyao waved his hand: "No need, he knows better than anyone that he can't control me."
Old housekeeper: "..."
The young master is arrogant, but this temperament is entirely due to the old man's spoiling.
Meanwhile, after being hung up on, Sheng Ronghua's first action was to run to the old man to complain.
“Dad, if you don’t stop that kid, he’ll become completely lawless.”
He embellished the conversation he had just heard on the phone.
In this world, it's the father who disciplines the son, but that brat has gone against the grain and started disciplining his own father.
He touched the area around his heart and felt a pain in his chest from anger.
Grandpa Sheng was in high spirits. He doted on his grandson, but didn't have much affection for his son.
He said with a hint of disdain, "Xiao Dian isn't a brainless idiot, so you, as his father, should stop interfering with him."
Sheng Ronghua: "..."
Grandpa Sheng held a walnut that his grandson had picked for him from a tree in his hand, his eyelids half-open: "Besides, you know his temper. The more you try to control him, the more he rebels."
However, he did become somewhat curious about the girl.
I heard that this guy behaves very well in front of her.
I should have a chance to discuss this with her and learn her methods for disciplining my grandson.
……
Jiang Zhouzhou arrived at the Sheng family's old residence. The grand gate and imposing single-pillar carved rafters made it even more magnificent than the Ji family's house.
The young master kept looking around, his eyes filled with longing.
I called ahead and said I'd be there in about ten minutes, but after he answered the phone, he just stood guard at the door.
All the servants in the house were filled with curiosity about Jiang Zhouzhou.
Is this the young master's favorite person?
Their looks are impeccable, and the two of them look incredibly well-matched when standing together.
only……
The young master's worthless appearance is a bit of an eyesore.
"Sister, you are finally here."
Are your hands cold? Let me warm them up for you.
He held her hands, wanting to tuck them into his clothes to warm them with his own body heat.
The servants standing nearby, led by the old butler, all silently lowered their heads.
Didn't see it.
Really blind.
Jiang Zhouzhou naturally noticed the servants' gazes and awkwardly withdrew her hand.
"It's not cold. Put your coat on so you don't catch a cold."
Beijing is colder than Shanghai, and the flowers and plants in the green belts are covered with a layer of ice crystals.
The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow in Beijing tomorrow. It was getting dark and a cold wind had already picked up.
Afraid that she would get cold, Sheng Jingyao took her hand and led her into the main house.
"I've already asked the kitchen to prepare dinner. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I made a few extra dishes. After dinner, I'll accompany you to the bedroom to take a look."
He walked ahead, his upturned lips never drooping.
The old butler followed behind, as if he could see an invisible tail wagging behind the young master.
His gaze then turned to Jiang Zhouzhou's retreating figure.
He investigated the girl twice, but no amount of detailed information could compare to meeting her in person.
She was like a bright moon, her presence bathing everything in her gentle light, gradually bringing life to the desolate and dilapidated house.
The old butler stroked his sparse beard and uttered the line that his colleagues had repeated countless times.
"Young Master hasn't been this happy in a long time..."
"This house hasn't been this lively in a long time..."
