Chapter 731 The Current Situation

Shen Guiling originally said that he would be back after a few days, but days passed by and half a month had passed.

The state primaries for the presidential election have ended, and at the end of August, state representatives will formally vote to confirm the presidential and vice presidential candidates.

A week before the list was announced, Shen Qian came to Shen Garden specifically to consult Shen Zhuang.

Shen Zhuang had long seen that Shen Qian was determined to win this presidential election. Although he was not optimistic about Shen Qian, he also knew that Shen Qian might not listen to his advice, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Shen Qian was very dissatisfied with this. The opponents in this election were all very strong. Without Shen Zhuang's approval, he would definitely not be able to obtain the family resources. Not to mention, he could not even raise the funds needed for the campaign.

Since the Shen family was not accessible, Shen Qian had no choice but to return to Nanwan to seek sponsorship.

Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of connections over the years. With his dual titles as the incumbent president of the National Assembly and the eldest son of the Shen family, he easily gained the support of many continental families and became one of the most popular candidates for election.

Just when Shen Qian was immersed in this great joy, bad news came.

Yao Ge, who was once hailed as the First Lady of Country A by the people of Country A, was found setting herself on fire at home on the eve of the official vote. After a whole night of rescue, she is still in critical condition.

As soon as the news came out, it instantly set off major news media, and Shen Qian's name was once again on the hot search list of social records.

As the media continued to dig deeper, an insider released Yao Ge's handwritten suicide note.

In her suicide note, Yao Ge portrayed herself as a kind-hearted woman abandoned by her husband. Because of her naiveté, she suffered Shen Qian's betrayal in their marriage. Because of her kindness, she was driven crazy by her husband and illegitimate child.

People were willing to believe that a dying man would speak kind words. Everyone's anger was directed at Shen Qian and Shen Guiling, and the voices of condemnation and cursing even faintly drowned out Yu Siwen.

In order to calm public anger, Shen Qian had no choice but to hold another press conference to apologize to the public and announce his withdrawal from the presidential election.

Three days later, Yao Ge was out of danger. Although his life was saved, he needed long-term treatment because of the extensive burns all over his body and multiple infections in the wounds.

In order to prevent the news media from writing nonsense, Shen Qian had to grit his teeth and play the role of a repentant husband, even though he hated the charred body on the bed in his heart.

Shen Zhuang had long known that Shen Qian would not be able to win more than a few rounds with his ability, but he never expected that this idiot would be defeated in such a tragic way before the fight even started.

After making such a big fool of themselves, the Shen family lost all face. Shen Zhuang was almost furious and closed the door to the public.

"Hahahaha, so cool! This is a truly enjoyable drama!"

Guan He leaned against the window, looking at the throng of people downstairs, feeling so happy. "The Shen family is so lucky to have Shen Qian. Without him, how could the Shen family have so many dramas to watch?"

Zhou Yanheng said, "Now that the Shen family has been eliminated, the rest will depend on the Yu family."

Guan He closed the window and approached with a smug look on his face, "The Yu family's mess is still there, who would dare to invest money in them? A second-rate person who came from a mud-legged background is not worthy of being on the stage."

Seeing that Zhou Yanheng wasn't listening at all, he put his hands on his hips and frowned, "Hey? What are you looking at?"

Zhou Yanheng turned off his phone and looked up, "Not necessarily."

Guan He didn't react for a moment, "What do you mean, maybe not."

Zhou Yanheng, "The fact that a peasant with nothing could become president speaks volumes. Yao Ge couldn't have gotten into trouble earlier or later, but he chose to commit suicide when Shen Qian was at the height of his fame. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

He gave Shen Nian a month, and Shen Nian would definitely take action. If Yao Ge was on the verge of life and death, the Shen family would have no reason to stop that madman from coming back.

He actually dared to kill his mother. It seems that the group behind Shen Nian is quite powerful.

Guan He thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, so he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a coincidence or not, as long as the Shen family suffers."

"Knock Knock-"

As he was speaking, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

"Brother Aheng."

Guan He's expression changed slightly, and he pointed at the door with an ambiguous look in his eyes, "Does Shen Tianluo come to deliver things every day?"

Zhou Yanheng didn't bother to pay attention to him and hid his phone under his pillow. "Go open the door."

Guan He pursed his lips and ran up to open the door.

"Hey, Xiao Mianzhi, your family has been so busy lately, how come you still have time to come over?"

Shen Mianzhi pretended not to understand Guan He's sarcasm and went straight into the house with the food box. "Brother Heng, how are you feeling today?"

Guan He was also a bitch. He wanted to bully the Shen family whenever he saw them. He snatched the things from Shen Mianzhi's hand and said, "Aheng can't eat what you gave him. I'll try it for him so that I won't let you down."

Without waiting for Shen Mianzhi to object, Guan He directly opened the lid and said, "Wow, it's quite nicely done."

After saying that, he picked up a brightly colored persimmon fruit and took a bite.

"Hey!" Shen Mianzhi frowned and was about to stop it but it was too late.

Guan He chewed it twice and swallowed it.

"You're so stingy! Ah Heng and I are good brothers. He won't mind if I eat two tea cakes, right, Ah Heng?"

Zhou Yanheng looked at Shen Mianzhi, "What's wrong?"

Shen Mianzhi looked innocent. "I noticed that you never ate the food I gave you, so I thought... So, this time, to make it look prettier, I used unripe persimmons and made syrup with yogurt."

Guan He didn't care, "What's the big deal?"

Zhou Yanheng's expression was calm, "It's poisonous."

Guan He, “…”

Shen Garden.

"Miss, those teas and snacks you asked me to make are incompatible with my taste buds? Will it be okay if I just give them to Miss Mianzhi?"

Zhang Ru followed Jiang Huashan carefully. If she hadn't had complete faith in Jiang Huashan's character, she would have almost been unable to do it.

Jiang Huashan jumped down the stairs from the corridor, skipping all the way.

"Don't worry about it, just do it."

Zhou Yanheng is that pervert. He won't even bat an eyelid if you give him normal things. He will only find them interesting if you give him weird things.

In her previous life, she gave Zhou Yanheng a basket of poisonous mushrooms. That guy insisted on having a chef cook them and even invited her to taste them together.

That time, the two of them were almost poisoned to death.

"Slow down, I'm afraid you might fall."

"I won't fall." Jiang Huashan waved her hands and just rushed out of the front yard when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"I really have something important to see him about. Your Young Master Shen and I are classmates. Please tell him."

Jiang Huashan turned sideways and looked towards the window pane with a frown.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yu, my old man said that we won't be receiving any outside guests during this period. If you really need anything, you can greet the young master first. We can't make any decisions without orders."

Yu Sheng looked at the courtyards in front of him, his eyes full of loneliness.

She had contacted Shen Guiling before coming, but her phone was unreachable and her messages fell on deaf ears. She had no choice but to come to his house without telling Yu Siwen. She might not have this opportunity again next time.

Is there really no way out?

"Excuse me." She forced a smile and turned to walk down the stairs.

"Are you...looking for Shen Guiling?"

Yu Sheng was stunned and turned around to look.

The moss in the cracks of the blue bricks at the foot of the steps was exposed to the sun and gave off a warm fragrance. Someone was standing in the middle of a waterfall of light, quietly watching her.
