It is true that Shen Manjun is a much better and stronger woman than ordinary women. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to survive the night after Fourth Master Zhao was assassinated. But no matter how strong and outstanding she is, she is still just a young and ignorant person who relied on her father's halo to live up to her reputation on the road for a few years. At other times, she is a top student with excellent grades who returned from studying at Harvard. Perhaps compared to Lin Huayin, she has richer life experience and looks more mysterious. But in a huge family like the Zhao family that dominates the underground world of the Pearl, her meager life experience is really not enough to support her in carrying the Zhao family. Fight against powerful enemies inside and outside the Zhao family.
Bite the bullet. Shen Manjun simply doesn't have this ability. But not. Could it be that she was allowed to watch the Zhao family fall apart and her father be murdered
Shen Manjun was confused. At a loss.
"I remember that you also established a small force in the United States." Xiao Zheng encouraged.
There is no way he would agree to Shen Manjun or Fourth Master Zhao's request to become the helmsman of the Zhao family. He's not interested either. This has nothing to do with whether he has the confidence to fight against the monsters of the Zhao family, or whether he has the confidence to compete with Ye Shiguan. The reason why he returned to Mingzhu was that he was tired of the life of fighting and killing. How could he now fall into a trap and return to the life he was extremely tired of
When Shen Manjun heard what Xiao Zheng said, she didn't care about how Xiao Zheng knew about her life overseas. She shook her head bitterly and said: "My father has wanted me to inherit his father's business since I was a child. Even if I am a woman."
"So your glory overseas was also caused by your father." Xiao Zheng asked slowly.
"You can say that." Shen Manjun nodded lightly. "But since I became an adult, I have no interest in these fighting and killing things. I just want to be a businessman, run a small business, and live the life I want."
"Then you said that Mr. Zhao hopes that I will take over." Xiao Zheng adjusted the dull atmosphere with a fairly frivolous tone and said, "So you are lying to me."
"In my father's opinion, there is no essential difference whether you are responsible for the Zhao family or I am responsible for the Zhao family." Shen Manjun said solemnly. There was a faint throbbing in his eyes.
This is the thought of her father, Fourth Master Zhao, and it is also her inner thought. Even in Xiao Zheng's view, this is simply a fuse that brings all potential crises to the table.
Shen Manjun's eyes were very hot, and his expression gradually became serious. But Xiao Zheng didn't intend to accept Shen Manjun's kindness, and he couldn't accept it. Once he accepts it, he will suffer, and the Zhao family will be destined to be in trouble.
Of course, the most important thing is that he once promised Lin Huayin not to do anything that would displease her unless absolutely necessary. Similarly, he also promised Ye Yuhua that he would learn not to argue.
No matter Xiao took these reasons as an excuse to reject Shen Manjun, he still didn't want to live a life that once disgusted him. He couldn't even accept Shen Manjun's request.
"Then you do it." Xiao Zheng said word by word. "I'll help you."
When Shen Manjun heard this, a deep look of disappointment appeared on his face. On the surface, Xiao was rejecting a fat sheep. In fact, he was also rejecting the good intentions of Shen Manjun and Fourth Master Zhao. To draw him into the Zhao family's good intentions.
But Shen Manjun is still a rational and smart woman after all. Most of her weakness and uneasiness at the moment came from Fourth Master Zhao's unconsciousness and worries about his father. Only a very few are confused and melancholy about the future.
At worst, she takes her father and moves into her villa in a high-end community. From then on, she drew a clear line with the Zhao family, who was fighting openly and secretly, and lived her life of peace and quiet.
The fierce Shen Manjun can definitely do it. Just like what she once said, no one needs to give her what she wants. What she doesn't want, no one can give it to her.
If it weren't for her father's lifelong efforts to collapse, she really had no interest in staying in this family full of cold-bloodedness and betrayal. But she also knew that her father, who loved face and the limelight all his life, could not tolerate her leaving the Zhao family where she had lived all her life.
Can my father accept that kind of life
After moving out of the Zhao family, my father is still the famous Fourth Master Zhao.
Leaving the Zhao family was no different from death for his father, who had been in the limelight all his life.
Shen Manjun cannot leave.
Not for myself, but for my father.
Shen Manjun's slender jade hands used to holding pens clenched tightly, a look of determination flashed across her enchanting face, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "I will do it."
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and promised: "I may not be able to be of much help, but until your father fully recovers, I will keep you and your daughter safe."
Shen Manjun turned his eyes and asked emotionally: "Is this the promise you made to me?"
Xiao Zheng was slightly startled. He really didn't expect that Shen Manjun would ask himself such a question at this time. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Forget it."
Shen Manjun's face gradually regained its vitality, and she said softly: "If my father hears the promise you made to me, he will be very happy."
"Master Zhao has experienced so many storms and waves in his life, and he will never capsize in this gutter. Believe him, someone may be able to defeat him in the future. But not now." Xiao Zheng comforted Shen Manjun, who was in a complicated mood, and said softly .
Shen Manjun was about to say something, but there was a rapid and fierce knock on the door.
"Miss, Master Chen is back,"
Hearing this, Shen Manjun stood up suddenly and shouted: "He still has the nerve to come back,"
After that, he pushed open the door and rushed out of the bedroom with such force and force that it was frightening.
"This woman, who acted soft and weak in front of me just now, became so fierce in the blink of an eye. She couldn't be pretending to be weak to win my sympathy." Xiao Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and followed out.
When the two came to the living room, Zhao Qingyun, whose right arm was hung up by gauze and a pale face, was confronting Chen Chong who came with the crowd with a sullen look on his face. The surrounding area was surrounded by nearly twenty elders of the Zhao family. Some people cleverly stood in the middle, while others clearly stood in line, some leaning towards Chen Chong, some leaning towards Zhao Qingyun, or, behind Zhao Qingyun, the fourth master Zhao was in a coma.
What surprised Xiao Zheng the most, but not surprising at all, was that Li Mubai stood in the middle along with a group of neutral elders. It seems that he is trying to calm the fight, but in fact, who knows if he will also remain neutral and not help anyone.
What a good person to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers. Li Mubai is worthy of being the military advisor of the Zhao family. The city is profound.
And Chen Chong came here with only one purpose, to win the commander-in-chief.
