Chapter 24.1: XiaoShenXiaoGuIsAMatchMadeInHeaven has become good friends with you

“I’m not scared of the dark!” 

Gu Yanshu turned around and got into his bed after he said this. 

He covered himself with the blanket, and the warm light of dusk fell upon it, creating a shadow of a pitiful little ball. 

Shen Jue’s lips curled up. He closed the French windows and pulled the curtains shut, then went down again.

It was pitch black outside a house, and dark clouds were looming close by. 

The snow had been delayed for so many days, it should be starting anytime soon. 

A black Rolls Royce stopped at the entrance.

Shen Ji was probably intentionally waiting for him. He sat at his desk with a calm look, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or furious.

Shen Jue was indifferent to his father’s expression. He pulled a chair from the side and sat down, leaning back lazily into the chair and crossed his legs. He then looked nonchalantly at Shen Ju. 

Both sides were silent. 

After some time. 

Shen Ji finally asked, “Don’t you have anything to explain to me?” 

Shen Jue sneered, “Why did you only summon me today and ask me to explain about something that you already knew about last night? Anyway, didn’t I already tell you a few years ago that I liked Gu Yanshu?” 

“But Gu Yanshu doesn’t like you,” Shen Ji calmly struck where it hurt. “I thought you would have given up five years ago, when you heard Gu Yanshu say that he wasn’t gay, and didn’t like men.”

“You said this before, that was five years ago.” Shen Jue placed one hand on top of the other and he tapped one finger as he said, “Five years ago, I needed your help, you helped me. I also fulfilled my end of the bargain. We don’t owe each other anything anymore. And now, I also don’t need to take a single cent from you, nor do I intend to inherit a single share of your inheritance, so you don’t have to bother about me anymore.” 

“You’re my son, why should I ignore you?” 

“It’s not like I’m your only son.” That was all Shen Jue needed to say. 

Shen Ji was speechless. 

He knew that he would lose the argument based on this matter. 

Shen Jue was never interested in these family dramas. He chuckled menacingly as he said, “Of course, if you intend to use Gu Yanshu to threaten me, like you did give years ago, or get your old friends to lend you some of their troops to lock me up, starving me of food and water till I had to be resuscitated at the hospital, go ahead. Anyway, as long as you torture me, I’ll make sure you won’t have a good life too.

He continued, with a hint of mockery in his words, “Anyway, even if I don’t intend to inherit anything from you, the shares and assets that my mother left me is sufficient for me to cause some turbulence in your life. Am I right, Chairman Shen?” 

Shen Ji’s expression chilled, “Is this how you speak to your father?” 

“If a father threatened his son with the future and safety of the person he likes, just so that he would get married and give him a grandchild could inherit the family business, can he still be considered a father? Why can’t I speak to you like this?” 

“I did all that for your own good.”

“Oh, that really wasn’t too obvious to me.” 

Shen Jue narrowed his eyes, looking as though he was grinning, but the mockery in his tone was undisguised. 

After some time, Shen Ji said coldly, “When you wanted to become an actor like your mother, I agreed to it. You like men, I won’t stop you too. You can play with them secretly, just don’t play them to death. However, you’ll still have to get married and have children. Those things that cannot be brought to light should never be brought to light.” 

“I don’t agree. Wasn’t a mistress who should be hidden from the world brought to the light by you? Moreover, I’m really not interested in getting married and having kids, nor will I go and harm other women for such reasons. You should keep these thoughts to yourself, but don’t ever say them again. These words really disgust me.” 

Shen Jue then stood up slowly, and his tall build instantly created a strong pressure against his father. Shen Ji finally realised that his son was only unrestrained and ostentatious on the surface. In reality, he had long matured. 

Shen Jue looked at his father’s white hair, but remained calm and firm, “I didn’t come here this time to hear you reprimand me. I wanted to tell you that since you are investigating me, then you should know that I’m close to Ye Leng and Ye Wei. Hence, even though I might be late in taking back what belongs to my mother, I’ll take it all back sooner or later. If you want to live a good life, and retain the Shen family’s reputation, then you should stop trying to interfere with Gu Yanshu’s life.” 

He turned to leave, but before he left, he turned his head back and added, “Also, Shen Ji, you’ve really aged.” 

Then, he turned back again and left without another word.

The sound of glass crashing could be heard from behind him. 

A servant asked carefully, “Young Master, are you staying here tonight?” 

Shen Jue replied softly, “No.” 

Someone was scared of the dark and was waiting for his return. 

That person had promised to keep the door open for him, so he would also have to keep his word.
