Chapter 277: Ginger is still spicier when old

Shen Yunyi really had no choice now. After all, Jiang Tao was still outside in the corridor.

Although Du Shiyue took the initiative to intercept him, no one could say how long she could intercept him. It would be better to take the person out of the living room as soon as possible.

In other words, the main thing is to take Shen Tian out of the living room. Miss Shen also knows that her father is the kind of person who values ​​tradition very much.

Yes, it's hard to imagine that such a grumpy old man who always beats people with a golf club would be that kind of traditionalist.

But in fact, Shen Tian does attach great importance to tradition and respects the elderly, and would never do anything to the elderly.

If he knew that Jiang Tao was Jiang Zheng's grandfather, he would definitely treat him according to the etiquette of an elder, which would be a big trouble.

If you treat such an old liar with the same etiquette as you would an elder, you will definitely fall into the other party's traps and be deceived to the point of numbness.

And just when Shen Yunyi took out a deck of playing cards and asked Jiang Zheng and Shen Tian not to fight in the living room, but to go to the study to decide the outcome.

Shen Tian looked at the deck of playing cards in his daughter's hand, then glanced at Jiang Zheng with disdain and sneered:
"My dear daughter, are you sure you want me to use this thing to compete with him? Is this too rude to my future son-in-law?"

But this is not a big problem in Xia Hua's opinion. After all, the two are not married yet and have no legal relationship.

"Hmph, I won't scare you to death if I tell you. I'm a famous gambling king. I've left a great reputation in Macau, Las Vegas and other places."

On the other hand, even if the two get married, Xia Hua and Shen Tian are still in their prime, and it will be at least twenty or thirty years before their daughter and son-in-law inherit the family property.

Because he didn't know when Jiang Tao and the others would come in, Shen Yunyi could only explain the dispute between Jiang Zheng and his grandfather as quickly as possible, and what kind of person his grandfather was.

If Jiang Tao came here to seize the Shen family property, then he would definitely use his relationship with Jiang Zheng, Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi to make a big fuss.

"Oh?" Jiang Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and replied with a smile:
"It seems that my future father-in-law is very confident in playing cards. Isn't he usually playing with various aunts and landlords?"

Seeing his future son-in-law's disapproving look, Shen Tian was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames, and he immediately strode after him.

"The so-called prestigious reputation means that you sent enough money, right? The legendary water fish?"

Although the bet proposed by her father was a bit big, Shen Yunyi didn't have time to pay attention to what the two were betting on. She just wanted to rush them into the study.

After explaining at a very fast speed, Xia Hua pondered for a moment, then nodded:
"I understand. If that's the case, just don't let your dad come into contact with that old liar. Just the two of us can deal with him."

Hey, creatures like men, even if they are already forty or fifty years old and their daughter is about to get married, they can still be so childish. I really admire it.

Shen Yunyi also breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to his mother Xia Hua and said:
"Mom, I have something very important to tell you, actually."

Xia Hua is also a person who has seen the world, and he quickly understood that his daughter was not joking, and he also thought of a way to deal with it.

So Miss Shen immediately reached out and pushed her boyfriend and dad, and shouted at the same time:
"Okay, okay, you go into the study and gamble. Don't make a fuss here. I still want to chat with my mother."

Although Jiang Zheng didn't know why Shen Yunyi was so impatient, he still shouted to Shen Tian without hesitation:
"Okay, then let's play blackjack and win six out of ten games. Whoever loses will go out and run 10,000 meters around the mountain in his underwear."

After shouting, Jiang Zheng immediately took the playing cards from Shen Yunyi's hand and left. He even deliberately adopted an extremely arrogant posture, as if he had already won.

Everyone in the living room couldn't help but take a breath. Only Xia Hua couldn't help but stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and sighed slightly.

When Shen Tian was finally led away by Jiang Zheng, the two went to the study not far away and closed the door to decide the outcome.

"You are the legendary water fish! Come on! Then let's compete alone! If we lose, we'll run 10,000 meters around the mountain in our underwear!"

When Shen Tiantian threw away the golf club in his hand in frustration, he actually wanted to play such a big gamble with Jiang Zheng.

As she spoke, she winked at Jiang Zheng, asking Jiang Zheng to take the stupid old man away quickly.

As Jiang Zheng's grandfather, Jiang Tao is now at least sixty or seventy years old. Can he wait another twenty or thirty years? It's very difficult.

Therefore, the matter of Jiang Tao, an old liar, was not a big deal in Xia Hua's opinion. It was just a little trouble at most.

However, while she was chatting with her daughter, a strange figure walked in from the living room corridor not far away.

When she saw the old man with silver hair, neat suit and a kind face, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but frown slightly.

Jiang Tao? what happened? Why did he come in alone? Where are uncle and Shiyue?
Logically speaking, as a guest brought back by Shen Xiao, Jiang Tao should be with Shen Xiao and should not run around by himself.

And besides Shen Xiao, isn't there Du Shiyue who used to intercept them? Where is Du Shiyue?

Under Shen Yunyi's somewhat surprised gaze, Jiang Tao walked over with a sheep's head crutch and a smile on his face.

After he came over, he bowed slightly to Xia Hua and Shen Yunyi, and said in a gentle tone:
"I'm very sorry, ladies. I hope I didn't disturb your chat."

Before the two of them could reply, Jiang Tao turned to look at Shen Yunyi and said with a smile:
"Seventy points."

When hearing this sudden score, Shen Yunyi made a confused "Huh"?
What's the meaning? Why did you suddenly start grading me?

As if he knew what the young lady was thinking, Jiang Tao explained:

"The first time you heard me announcing my identity at the door, you were obviously surprised, which shows that you know my identity."

"And when I walked in the door just now, you frowned slightly and glanced at your mother, indicating that she also knew my identity."

"Although both times were just fleeting changes in demeanor, they were too obvious and it was easy for others to figure out what you were thinking, so it's only seventy points."

After explaining to the stunned Shen Yunyi, Jiang Tao looked at Xia Hua again, nodded and said:

"Mrs. Xia Hua has a much higher level of self-cultivation in this regard. She knows my identity but remains unmoved. She deserves to be the mistress of the Shen family."

What is this? He seems to know everything? And what’s with this calm posture?

After quickly digesting Jiang Tao's words, Shen Yunyi clenched his fist secretly, feeling that the situation was not as simple as he thought before.

Judging from Jiang Tao's remarks at this time, he clearly understood that Shen Yunyi and Xia Hua already knew his identity and even knew what he was here for.

Under such circumstances, this old liar actually had the leisure and elegance to grade their reactions. This was too... too bizarre. "Thank you." Just when Shen Yunyi felt that his head couldn't keep up, Xia Hua smiled slightly and said:

"If it were an ordinary person, I would probably be a little angry when I heard him randomly grade my daughter, but you are different, Mr. Jiang, you do have the qualifications."

There are two points of "qualification" in Xia Hua's words. The first is that Jiang Tao is older and is Jiang Zheng's elder, so he is higher than both of them in terms of seniority.

The second thing is that Jiang Tao is obviously very shrewd. It can even be said that he has reached the level of a mature man. He can even understand the subtle expressions and psychological activities of others.

This kind of old liar is very difficult to deal with because no one knows which of his words are true and which of them are false.

But he has a pair of insightful eyes that can see others thoroughly and extremely rich experience in observing people. Others have nothing to hide in front of him.

Good guy, it feels like I'm facing an aging Azheng. In the future, Azheng will probably have the same feeling of becoming mature as a person.

Wait, now is not the time to think about these things. By the way, where did uncle and Shiyue go? Why did you let him in alone?

The moment he thought of this, Shen Yunyi subconsciously looked in the direction of the corridor.

But when her eyes shifted to the corridor, she immediately realized that she had made a mistake again.

Before Shen Yunyi could look away and sit on the sofa, Jiang Tao, who was sitting opposite mother and daughter, raised his eyebrows and said:

"What? Are you concerned about where your uncle and sisters have gone?"

Since the other party had seen through his psychology again, Shen Yunyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask:

"Mr. Jiang, do you know where they went?"

"Of course I know." Jiang Tao put down his crutches, leaned his somewhat stooped back on the sofa cushions, and said with a smile:

"I had them kidnapped. Of course I know where they went."

What! The moment Jiang Tao blurted out these words, Shen Yunyi almost jumped out of his chair!
Kidnapping? This old man kidnapped his uncle and Shiyue! No way!
Although Shen Yunyi knew from the beginning that Jiang Tao was evil, she didn't expect that he would do something so ruthless.

It's okay to go to Shen's small house to kidnap people, but this is a bit too much. Wait? Did he do this because of my actions?
After realizing why Jiang Tao kidnapped Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but swallowed and felt a trace of regret.

Speaking of which, Shen Xiao had been working with Jiang Tao for so long. If he wanted to kidnap Shen Xiao, there was no need to follow him to Jiangcheng and he could just be kidnapped outside.

As for Du Shiyue, she was only Shen Yunyi's friend, and there was no need or value to kidnap her.

In other words, Jiang Tao had never thought of attacking those two people before Shen Yunyi came to report the news.

With Jiang Tao's intelligence and observation ability, he must have seen through that Du Shiyue was here to delay time.

In addition, he saw through the fact that Shen Yunyi knew his identity, and it was not difficult to think of Du Shiyue's purpose of delaying time.

The moment his identity was revealed, his plan to use Grandpa Jiang Zheng's name to deceive Shen Tian and Xia Hua fell through.

As the saying goes, if the thief doesn't escape, the plan has already failed anyway, so it's better to make another profit. Let's just kidnap Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue and ask for a huge ransom.

From this perspective, the kidnapping of Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue was entirely due to Shen Yunyi's recklessness.

Oops, he saw through my mental activities, so Shiyue was tied up. What should I do?

correct! Jiang Zheng! Jiang Zheng must have a way to save Shiyue, he... hiss!
When he originally thought of this, Shen Yunyi almost subconsciously looked in the direction of the study room where Jiang Zheng was.

But after realizing that she had accidentally leaked so much important information, she immediately turned her head away from looking at the study.

But before Miss Shen could feel relieved, Jiang Tao, who was sitting opposite her, nodded again and said approvingly:
"Ninety percent, you did a great job this time. You didn't look in that direction. Is Xiaozheng in the room over there? And there's another person there too? Is it Shen Tian?"

ha? Can this be seen? No, how on earth can this be seen? I obviously didn't even look over there?

Looking at Miss Shen whose eyes became panicked, Jiang Tao raised his crutch again, pointed to the carpet beside him, and said with a smile:
"I suggest you not use this kind of wool-studded carpet indoors. Although it has excellent gloss, elasticity, tensile strength and other properties, it can easily leave footprints."

Shen Yunyi then looked in the direction he was pointing. Sure enough, there were a few shallow footprints in the direction of the study, but if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see them at all.

By now, Shen Yunyi finally understood how terrifying the old liar in front of him was, and also understood Jiang Zheng's concerns.

Good guy. He has only been in for a few minutes, and it seems as if he has mastered every detail in the living room.

After understanding what a terrifying opponent this was, Shen Yunyi applauded first, and then said righteously:
"As expected of a big old man who has been in the casino for most of his life, let's just say it straight, how much do you want?"

Although Shen Yunyi could have called Jiang Zheng out of the study, she did not choose to do so.

Instead, he straightened his back and looked directly at the other person, staring at the old face with every wrinkle covered with weather.

This gesture seems to say: "You have indeed seen through me, but I will not admit defeat. Whatever other tricks you come up with, I will take them."

From Shen Yunyi's point of view, Jiang Tao kidnapped Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue just for money, so just tell them how much you want. It's not like the Shen family can't afford it.

And even if you give the money, you may not be able to get it, and even if you can get it, you will never be able to escape.

However, just when Shen Yunyi was about to argue with the other party about "how much ransom Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue were worth".

A strange smile appeared on Jiang Tao's face. He turned to look at the corridor and said:
"Countdown, five, four, three"

What? countdown? What is he counting down to? Could it be that his gang is planning to rush in and kidnap us too?
Before Shen Yunyi could stand up in a hurry, he pulled Xia Hua and ran away together, and followed Jiang Tao to count the remaining "two" and "one".

Two familiar figures actually walked in leisurely from the corridor under Shen Yunyi's dumbfounded gaze.

It was Shen Xiao and Du Shiyue. Why did these two "hostages" who were supposed to be kidnapped by Jiang Tao walk in again so lightly.

And judging from the expressions on their faces, these two people didn't feel like they had been kidnapped at all?
