Chapter 586 Shen Lanxi's Suspicion

"Brother Lan Xi, you've crossed the line."

Shen Guiling's sudden appearance made the situation tense. His smile was sharp, and his pale skin was particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

Crossing the line?

Shen Lanxi frowned slightly, and her deep eyes slowly shifted to Jiang Huashan's shoulders.

Jiang Huashan never expected Shen Guiling to appear at this time. She turned her head to look at him and silently shook off the hand on her shoulder.

Shen Lanxi is not easy to fool. If he finds out something and tells grandpa, we will be in trouble.

Shen Guiling was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Huashan's sudden shaking off of his hand, but he didn't care. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Does your hand still hurt?"

Jiang Huashan was already feeling a bit guilty, and after hearing this, he immediately came up with an idea. He rubbed his shoulders and shouted, "My hand is going to break. I'm going to tell Grandpa."

As he said that, he pushed Shen Guiling to Shen Lanxi, then turned around and rushed into the Chuihua Gate.

The hibiscus in the corner was in full bloom, with pink buds hanging on the branches waving in the wind. The slanting shadow against the wind fell on Shen Lanxi's profile, making it difficult to see the emotions in his eyes.

After a long moment, he sneered and turned around first.

"Brother Lan Xi." The smile in Shen Guiling's eyes gradually faded, "Stay away from her."

Shen Lanxi paused, turned sideways, and her indifferent eyes were filled with an arrogant and noble look. "Just you?"

Coming from Shen Lanxi's mouth, these words were quite impolite.

It's no wonder that Shen Lanxi looks down on Shen Guiling. The struggle for power ultimately depends on the foundation behind one. No matter how capable Shen Guiling is, he is just a rootless duckweed in front of Shen Lanxi.

Therefore, Shen Lanxi has never taken Shen Guiling seriously. In his opinion, Shen Guiling has nothing but a face and is not worth worrying about at all.

But how dare such a mere duckweed threaten him?!

Shen Guiling, "Of course it's not me, it's her feelings. Can't Brother Lan Xi see it? She has been avoiding you all the time."

The dignity on Shen Lanxi's face shattered because of these words.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Shen Guiling smiled perfunctorily and said, "Thank you, Brother Lanxi, for your help." After that, he nodded politely and turned to leave.

"Everyone is talking nonsense."

Jiang Huashan stretched lazily and kicked open the door of Juyuan Garden. "Auntie Zhang, help me pack my things. I'm going to be away for a few days."

Zhang Ru heard the noise and immediately ran out of the kitchen, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Huaicheng."

"Huaicheng?" Zhang Ru was stunned. "Why so sudden?"

"Yes, grandpa has already agreed." Jiang Huashan responded and ran upstairs.

Seeing this, Zhang Ru quickly followed behind and asked, "How many days will you be gone? Who will you be going with? Have you arranged your itinerary?"

As he was speaking, Shen Guiling walked in from outside the yard.

"Aunt Zhang."

"Master Aling." Zhang Ru immediately stopped talking and covered her mouth embarrassedly.

Shen Guiling nodded and looked upstairs.

Zhang Ru immediately responded, "The young lady just went up and said she was leaving Huaicheng."

Shen Guiling smiled and said, "Go and get busy."

Zhang Ru had a very good impression of Shen Guiling and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She nodded and said, "Okay. Call me if you need anything."

“…She’s been avoiding you.”

Shen Lanxi stood in the corner for a long time without reacting, with Shen Guiling's ridicule echoing in her ears.

Gao Zhi hid in Langyuan and watched for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but stick his head out and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Shen Lanxi's face showed no emotion and she did not respond.

Gao Zhi approached cautiously, "Actually, you don't have to care about what Shen Guiling said. He clearly said those words on purpose to irritate you. If you really take it to heart, you'll fall into his trap."

"Gao Zhi..." Shen Lanxi slowly lowered her eyes, her deep eye sockets filled with shadows. "If you were given a chance to start over, what kind of life would you choose?"

"Huh?" Gao Zhi was a bit confused. Was this noob just mad? How could he ask such a stupid question?

"As for me, of course I will come to see the young master!" Although you complain, you still have to flatter him.

Gao Zhi said seriously, "When the time comes, I will use my prophetic ability to redress all injustices for the young master."

"Hehe..." Shen Lanxi chuckled, and the light in her eyes hidden in the gloom was surprisingly bright.

It is true that she would do anything for the person she cares about, but why would she avoid him like the plague?

Shen Lanxi turned around, and just as she took a step, her body suddenly froze.

He slowly raised his eyes, his turbulent gaze revealing an indistinguishable emotion. "Gao Zhi, do you still remember how Shan Shan scolded me on the way back to Jinggang from Xiangying five years ago?"

It’s not something you owe, who would remember such a thing?

Gao Zhi's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were about to roll up to the sky, but his face remained respectful. "Master, I only remember one thing."

The reason I remember it is that the insults were so harsh that it is hard to forget.

Shen Lanxi shook her head. What she said at the time was, "Shen Lanxi, have you become stupid from praying to Buddha? Don't you have any compassion at all? You deserve to be alone. Your wife has fallen in love with someone else and ran away with him. At the age of 27, you're still a virgin!!!"

At that time, I just thought she was crazy, so I didn't investigate further.

But if she really came from somewhere, were these the reasons why she distanced herself from him?

He was married, but his wife didn't like him, so they were not actually husband and wife.

"..."

How ridiculous.

Shen Lanxi closed his eyes. He never believed in these weird things. Why did he always take chances because of her?

Just as he was about to take a step, a sudden idea came to his mind. His body froze again, and he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of light.

Suppose...

Suppose she is an existence outside of faith, suppose he is married in the future, suppose his wife does not love him, suppose all this is true, then how does she know that he and his wife have never been husband and wife?

Who else would know about this except the person involved?

Shen Lanxi turned around and looked towards the direction of Juyuan.

His wife...is it her?
