Chapter 768: He Is Soul Fighter (2)
It was the second day of the new year, so there were very few people on the streets.
Shen Liangchuan was driving, but his gaze was always on Qiao Lian.
Both of them didn’t speak. While Shen Liangchuan was thinking, he suddenly heard Qiao Lian say, “Wait a minute.”
Shen Liangchuan pupil’s shrunk and he turned his head.
Qiao Lian stared at him, but she only spoke after a while, “It’s the new year, we shouldn’t visit your grandfather empty-handed. The fruit store there looks open, let’s go buy some fruits.”
Shen Liangchuan wanted to say that there was no need, but when he met Qiao Lian’s gaze, his eyes sparkled and he nodded.
They stopped the car by the roadside and walked into the store to buy some fruits.
Shen Liangchuan stood at the side and studied her.
As she was buying them for an elderly, Qiao Lian was really careful and serious while choosing.
Qiao Lian only paid after she finished picking them.
Then, they had a smooth journey to the Shen family’s old home.
This was Qiao Lian’s first time in the Shen family’s old home.
It was different from the Jiangnan village. The old home in Beijing had a courtyard.
It was a huge house with a courtyard in the city center.
It took a large portion of land, so one could easily tell how rich and powerful the Shen Family was.
Qiao Lian had never ever been to such a place and was thus filled with curiosity about the place.
The courtyard house there was also different from those that people usually see.
Although the architecture had strong historical vibes, it had been renovated and it didn’t look like an old and tattered house. Instead, it gave a solemn feel.
The car stopped at the courtyard.
When they alighted from the car, a seventy-year-old butler came up to greet them. He was filled with delight to see Shen Liangchuan as he exclaimed, “Young Master, you’re here!”
But after he saw Qiao Lian, he was stunned slightly. “This is… Madam?”
It was obvious that Senior Master had only ask Shen Liangchuan to go over and did not expect him to bring her too.
Qiao Lian smiled and nodded at the butler.
Shen Liangchuan then spoke plainly, “Grandpa Cai, you don’t have to address me as Young Master. I no longer have anything to do with the Shen Family.”
His cold and aloof words shocked the old butler a little, but he sighed.
“Young Master, in my heart, you’ll always be our oldest young master.”
After Shen Liangchuan heard his words, he did not acknowledge or answer him. He just followed the butler and walked into the house.
Qiao Lian followed him. They walked a distance before reaching the courtyard where Old Master lived.
When they arrived at the doorstep, from afar, they saw a bunch of people standing there. As they looked over, they realized that they were Shen Zihao, Mei Feng and Shen Zihao.
Qiao Lian frowned. What were those three doing here?
In her confusion, she heard Shen Liangchuan’s explanation, “After he got married, he moved from the old home to the Shen villa. Since then, they have lived separately. They come over to visit on the first day of the new year, and then come over on the second for a family dinner.”
Qiao Lian: …
Qiao Lian felt that Shen Xiu was kind of distant from his father.
How could a father and son have such a relationship?
Qiao Lian shook her head and followed him inside. Then, she heard Shen Xiu’s voice. He frowned and looked at the house’s servant impatiently. “Senior Master is still doing t’ai chi?”
“Yes, Sir. Senior Master trains at least two hours every day at this hour.”
Shen Xiu impatiently waved her away.
The three of them continued standing outside the courtyard and waited. Although they were impatient, they didn’t dare to show any sign of unwillingness.
Shen Xiu only turned his head around after he heard footsteps. When he saw Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian, he immediately narrowed his eyes.
