Chapter 467 Blind date!

When Sheng Xinhuai walked out of the room, Mei Yuyin had already prepared breakfast for her.

Millet porridge, boiled eggs, and a plate of vegetables and fruits.

She knew Sheng was trying to lose weight, so she wanted her to eat something nutritious, but she didn't want to ruin her weight loss plan.
If it was fried dough sticks or rice noodles or something like that, I'm afraid she wouldn't want to eat a single bite.

She felt that her daughter was not fat at all, but just had a plump figure and a sense of fullness that matched her image and temperament.

Young people nowadays don’t understand that women are more attractive when they have some flesh on.

It feels dry. What does it feel like?
"Morning, Lao Mei." Sheng Xinhuai pulled out a chair and sat at the dining table, yawning loudly.

"Why do you look so unhappy?" Mei Yuyin looked at Sheng Xinhuai with a worried look on her face and said, "Didn't you go to bed early last night? Didn't you sleep well?"

"Well, thinking about something. It's okay, I'll just take a nap at noon." Sheng Xinhuai took an egg and peeled it.

"You need to balance work and rest. You don't look as energetic as before. You look lifeless all day long, like an old woman." Mei Yuyin reminded implicitly.

Ever since Tang Fei Fenghuang left, she has been depressed all day long. She seems to have no interest in anything and can't cheer up.

Just drink more.

I’m really afraid that she will become an alcoholic like her second uncle.

Sheng Xinhuai raised his head and glared at Mei Yuyin in dissatisfaction, saying, "Is there an old lady as beautiful and sexy as me?"

"You have dark circles under your eyes like a panda. Where is your beauty and sexiness?"

Thinking that Tang Fei was still in the inner room, it would be too embarrassing for him to hear these words, so Sheng Xinhuai reminded her, "Mom, please keep your voice down."

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of being overheard when you talk in your own home? Your house wasn't cheap, so isn't the soundproofing good?"

"I mean, you disturbed me. I didn't sleep well last night and my head hurts. Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. When you're done, go back quickly. I have to pack up and go to work."

"Going home for dinner tonight?" Mei Yuyin asked.

"Is there something?" Sheng Xinhuai asked without raising his head while eating.

"Your father called and said Shen Jianping wants to bring Shen Lewen to his home as a guest."

"Shen Jianping is visiting my home, what am I going to do back?" Sheng Xinhuai hesitated for a moment, then understood the crux of the matter: "What's the matter? Are you going to arrange a blind date for me?"

"Your father means that whether he agrees or not is another matter, but we have to meet in person to show courtesy."

"The Sheng family, who never take sides, is forced to sell their daughters under the coercion of the Shen family?"

Snapped!
Mei Yuyin slapped Sheng Xinhuai on the head and angrily scolded, "What are you talking about? I just asked you to go and see him. I told your dad that we won't interfere with your love life. You can love whoever you want. We fully respect your opinion."

"Then why do you want me to go back and see Shen Lewen?"

"Even if you disagree, you should still tell the person politely. This is polite, understand?"

"Why should I meet someone I don't like? It's just a waste of time."

"."

Seeing that Mei Yuyin was silenced by his criticism, Sheng Xinhuai asked, "Shen Jianping came to arrange a blind date for his son at this time and chose to marry into our Sheng family. Why? Does Shen Jianping want to fight for that position for his son?"

"Who knows? Everyone says that position is reserved for Shen Xinglan. Who else can compete with him?"

"Shen Xinglan hasn't appeared in public for a long time. Is there something wrong with him? So the people in the Shen family are unsettled, and many people have the idea of ​​replacing him?"

"What could go wrong with Shen Xinglan?"

"Who knows?" Sheng Xinhuai said with deep eyes, "As the representative of the young Shen family, he should have stood up at this time to win the hearts of the people and intimidate the small people, but he has been invisible from beginning to end. This is unreasonable."

"Why do you act like a conspirator? Eat quickly, the porridge is getting cold." Mei Yuyin urged.

She only likes to listen to songs and doesn't want to listen to these mysterious things.

Sheng had something in mind and buried his head in eating his porridge.

When Tang Fei returned to the courtyard, Lu Siyu was sitting at the table eating noodles.

A bowl of shredded pork noodles, the meat and noodles were stuck together, it looked like the cooking was not very good.

"Do you want me to make you another bowl?" asked Tang Fei.

This is my sister and my partner in life and death on this trip, so naturally I have to be nicer to her.

"No need." Lu refused in a whisper. She was not the kind of delicate girl who could not endure hardship, although she was born in a wealthy family. "Any news?"

She didn't ask where Tang Fei went last night and why he didn't come back.
Adults are responsible for their own actions.

"We cannot confirm the whereabouts of the old man for the time being." Tang Fei sat in front of Lu Siyu and watched her lower her head to eat noodles: "However, there is one thing that deserves attention."

"whats the matter?"

"From the day of the negotiation until now, Shen Xinglan has not appeared in public."

"You mean he's injured? Or dead?"

"If he's dead, there's no reason for Shen's to keep the news secret. This kind of thing can't be kept secret."

Tang Fei analyzed aloud: "So, my personal opinion is that he was injured, and the injury was quite serious. He has been recuperating during this period of time."

Lu Siyu looked up at Tang Fei and understood what he meant: "So, who was the person who hurt him?"

"If it's someone from our side, anyone who has had contact with Shen Xinglan would know. The old man is the only exception." Tang Fei said, "We don't know what happened in the Hundred Beasts Garden. So, the person who tied the bell must untie it."

"You want to see Shen Xinglan?"

"This is the fastest way to find the answer to the problem." said Tang Fei.

"No." Lu refused in a whisper, saying, "No one can recognize you in this outfit, but Shen Xinglan can. If you see him, your identity will be exposed. At that time, it will not be so easy to leave."

Tang Fei also knew that he and Shen Xinglan had a deep connection, and it would be difficult for him to hide his identity when the two met.

"What should we do? Is there a better way?"

"We are new here, so let's take it easy and act accordingly."

Tang Fei nodded, but he had his own ideas in mind.
-
Yanqing Street. Number 18.

Dynasties changed and the flags on the city walls changed.

However, this seemed to have no effect on the Sheng family at all.

They are not the top family in this empire, but they are a powerful force that no one can ignore.

When Zhong Daolong was the king, Sheng Jing was the Minister of Finance and lived at No. 18 Yanqing Street.

Shen was the regent behind the scenes, Sheng Jing was still the chancellor, and he still lived at No. 18 Yanqing Street.

The ruler may come and go, but the minister of wealth may remain unchanged.

This is an ancient courtyard with pavilions, towers, rockeries and pools, which are exquisitely designed. Every step brings a new scene, and every glance brings a new world. Sheng Jing and Shen Jianping sat opposite each other in the teahouse.

Because the Shen family manipulates power, Shen Jianping now serves as the deputy prime minister, helping the Minister of Culture Su Zhenlie to handle important government affairs.

Moreover, as Su Zhenlie gets older, it will be difficult for him to stay in power for long, so he is very likely to be the next Prime Minister.

The head of the three prime ministers, in charge of a country's political affairs.

He is so powerful that almost no one can rival him.

"Brother Sheng, there are winding paths and beautiful scenery everywhere here. It's really overwhelming." Shen Jianping sighed softly while holding a cup of hot tea.

"How can a small family like us compare with the magnificent scenery of Luojia Mountain?" Sheng Jing said in a serious tone.

Luojia Mountain is a famous scenic spot in the empire, but the core area is occupied by the Shen family.

It can be said to be the Luojia Mountain of the Shen family. What the outside world can see is also what the Shen family is willing for you to see.

Everyone knows that he is an old-fashioned person. Except when facing his little cotton-padded jacket Sheng Xinhuai, few people can see him smiling.

Therefore, he didn't care about Sheng Jing's attitude.

"If Brother Sheng likes it, we must go to Luojia Mountain to visit in the future. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least the Luoxue tea made from the rootless water will not disappoint Brother Sheng."

"No problem." Shengkuang nodded.

Shen Jianping was not satisfied with this noncommittal answer, so he looked at Sheng Kuang and asked, "Brother Sheng, what do you think of the current situation?"

Sheng Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Shen Jianping and said, "Prime Minister Shen is in charge of the core of the empire. No one knows the current situation better than you, right?"

"When you are in the middle of a situation, it is difficult to get a full picture. If Brother Sheng can help me to clear up the confusion, maybe it will be clear for me." Shen Jianping looked straight into Sheng Jing's eyes and spoke out.

Shengkuang sipped the tea carefully and did not respond.

Is he testing my attitude?
-
In the garden, Sheng Xinhuai and Shen Lewen were relaxing and enjoying the scenery.

Sheng Xinhuai was impatient and walked quickly, as if he was doing homework.

Shen Lewen followed behind him slowly but not too far away.

Looking at the slim figure in front of him, a faint smile appeared on Shen Lewen's lips.

People ranked the seven stars of March, but Sheng Xinhuai was not included in "March". It was a huge joke.

Apart from her fame and family background, how else can Sanyue compare to her?

This is a beauty list, not a family background list.

Shen Lewen prefers the evaluation of her by the flower-crazy Jie Wencai: there is charm beyond rhyme and fragrance beyond fragrance.

This is truly the most beautiful woman in the world.

Unfortunately, she would rather "defile herself" than let those suitors get away with it.

"Everyone says that Miss Sheng is not good at cultivation, but I don't believe it. Her leg strength is much better than mine." Shen Lewen teased.

Sheng Xinhuai slowed down his pace, glanced at him, and said, "I've seen this garden a thousand and eight hundred times, what's the point? Let's walk away quickly and go back to drink."

"Miss Sheng should know that Aunt Mei asked you to take me around the garden not just to look at the flowers and plants." Shen Lewen blinked and said with a smile: "Although the Sheng family's garden is indeed a masterpiece of art."

"Is there any other meaning?" Sheng Xinhuai glanced at Shen Lewen and pretended to be stupid.

Shen Lewen can be considered a famous handsome man in Phoenix City. He is tall and has long legs, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His every move and gesture exudes the air of a gentleman.

I have to say that the Shen family’s genes are indeed quite excellent.

Shen Xinglan Shen Lewen Shen Lewu Shen Leyou
Each of these people with the surname Le is more outstanding than the other, and they are unique in the empire.

No wonder the Shen family has been able to survive for hundreds of years. Now they are surrounded by dragon energy and have the aura of an emperor.

"Miss Sheng, you should understand the real purpose of my visit." Shen Lewen is not a hypocritical person. He knows Sheng Xinhuai's personality and knows that this is the kind of person she hates the most. "I fell in love with Miss Sheng at first sight and have admired her for many years."

"I've admired you for so many years, why have I never heard you mention it?"

"If I propose this, will Miss Sheng agree?" Shen Lewen asked.

"No." Sheng Xinhuai answered decisively.

"So, I have been waiting, waiting for the best time." Shen Lewen still smiled brightly and said, "Good things are worth waiting for."

"Why do you think now is the best time?" Sheng asked curiously.

"The time and the place are right, but we lack the people." Shen Lewen replied: "Of course, people and I will work hard."

"Don't try so hard. The harder you try, the more unfortunate you will be." Sheng Xinhuai advised, "You should also know that I have a bad reputation. Men who like to drink and like new things don't need to waste their time on a woman like me."

"Miss Sheng, you are insulting my intelligence and vision by saying this. If I didn't know anything about you, how could I dare to ask my father to come to my house to propose to me?"

"The outside world says that you have a bad reputation, but in fact you are independent and don't want to be stuck in the mud and rot with them."

"As for your preference for new men, apart from the previous scandal, I have never heard of any man who can really come to you."

"Women like this have a bad reputation and are not worth liking. Are there any good women in Phoenix City?"

"Oh, you think highly of me." Sheng Xinhuai said with a smile: "It seems that you have done a lot of homework."

"Of course, sincerity can move mountains and stones. I hope Miss Sheng can feel my sincerity."

"Sorry, I can't feel it at all." Sheng Xinhuai shook his head and said, "You can't force feelings. If you can force it, it's not feelings, it's a transaction."

"What a pity." Shen Lewen shrugged and said discouragedly.

"However, I do have some doubts in my mind." Sheng Xinhuai said.

"Oh? Miss Sheng, what doubts do you have? I will tell you everything I know."

"You just said that now is the right time and place, and the only thing missing is the right people. You should know what it means if I really agree to your marriage with the Sheng family."

"Miss Sheng, do you mean that our marriage between our two families will make others feel unhappy?"

"Uncle Shen is the Vice Prime Minister of the Empire, in charge of most military secrets. And my father is the Minister of Finance of the Empire, in charge of the country's purse. If our two families were to marry, what would you let others think?"

"Miss Sheng mainly wants to know what Shen Xinglan thinks, right?"

"Indeed." Sheng Xinhuai did not deny it and said, "His grandfather controls the military of a country. If our two families come together, where will Shen Xinglan be placed? Will Shen Wuxiang let it go?"

"If it were in the past, I would not have had such an idea. However, the times are different now. Others have taken action. If we do not take any action, we will fall behind."

Sheng Xinhuai's mind was slightly moved, but he pretended to be confused: "What do you mean?"
