Chapter 253: Dad Sponsors You, Please Coax Me
Finally, the small black room competition was scheduled for the weekend three days later.
When the three of them came out of the main hall, they felt mixed emotions.
The road back to the garden was in the same direction, and the three of them walked together for a rare time and remained silent.
When passing by the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Shen Qian and Shen Yuan walked out of the pavilion. This was the only way to return to the backyard. The two were obviously waiting for something to happen.
Shen Qingyu felt a little disgusted. He glanced at Shen Yuan indifferently and greeted him reluctantly, "Uncle."
Shen Lanxi said indifferently, "Uncle, Second Uncle."
Shen Guiling was the most polite and said with a smile, "Dad, Second Uncle."
Shen Qian nodded, and glanced at the three of them. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Lanxi got there first and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Qian's response, he walked towards the corridor.
Shen Qian suppressed his displeasure and looked at Shen Guiling with a smile, "A Ling, come for a walk with Daddy?"
Shen Guiling nodded.
Shen Yuan, "Qingyu, I also..."
Before he could finish, Shen Qingyu rolled his eyes at Shen Guiling and walked forward with his hands in his pockets. Shen Yuan's face changed slightly, and he clenched his fists. In the end, he could only accept his fate and follow.
When Shen Lanxi passed through the hanging flower gate, he suddenly stopped. He turned around and silently looked at the two pairs of father and son in the moonlight through the wooden carved window grilles.
Gao Zhi followed Shen Lanxi's gaze and looked over, "Master, do you miss Mr.?"
Shen Lanxi turned her head and looked at Gao Zhi without saying a word.
Gao Zhi lowered his head and put on his sunglasses silently.
Shen Lanxi was silent for a moment, then walked towards Shen Garden.
On the way home, there was only him and his own shadow.

Shen Qian personally pushed Shen Guiling into the bamboo garden. When he closed the gate, the warmth on Shen Qian's face faded a little. "A Ling, how is your leg?"
Shen Guiling stood up with the help of the wheelchair and held on for a full half minute before sitting back down.
"I'm sorry to have worried Dad. I'm actually much better now, but I've been using a wheelchair just to save trouble. Don't worry, Dad. Grandpa has come up with an absolutely fair test. Even if I have a leg injury, it won't have any impact."
There was a hint of surprise in Shen Qian's eyes.
He only asked one question, and Shen Guiling perfectly answered all his doubts. The more they got along, the more satisfied Shen Qian became with his son. No wonder the old man took a new look at him after just three months in Shen Garden.
Shen Qian patted Shen Guiling on the shoulder and said, "Ah Ling, are you sure you can get a place to accompany us?"
Shen Guiling shook his head, feeling a little ashamed. "I can't say I'm 100% sure. Shen Lanxi is a strong opponent. But, please rest assured, Dad. I will definitely do my best."
Shen Lanxi has always been the most outstanding among the three children. Shen Qian had no doubt about this. After thinking for a moment, he patted her twice and said, "Do your best."
Shen Guiling's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Shen Zhuang calmly.
Shen Qian's eyes turned and met Shen Guiling's. "I heard that you left Yu Sheng aside and made her very unhappy. What's the matter? Have you made up your mind? Have you set your sights on that girl from the Su family?"
Shen Guiling suppressed the sharp edge in her eyes and neither dodged nor avoided. "President Yu is trying to win over the upstarts with his new policies, but whether he will succeed depends on whether they accept this olive branch. The new presidential election is about to begin. What Dad wants is the presidential daughter, not the Yu family's daughter, so..."
Shen Qian's eyes were full of praise, "Go on."
Shen Guiling patiently coaxed, "So, I think it's time to change the bait. The pond is so big, you can't just catch one fish, right?"
Shen Qian nodded, his eyes slightly hesitant. "So, where is Miss Su?"
Shen Guiling, "Su Miao is still young. Old Su thinks so highly of her, so he must keep her for a few more years. It's better to let her go for now."
Shen Qian always felt that something was wrong, "What if you leave it there and someone else catches it?"
Shen Guiling raised her eyes and smiled, "Dad, you should have some confidence in me, right? You've already taken my bait, how can you let someone else take you away so easily?"
He rarely smiled like this, his eyelids raised with a bit of willfulness, looking gentle and heartless.
Facing Shen Guiling's face, Shen Qian couldn't say anything to refute. After thinking about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he replied: "Since you have already made up your mind, it's up to you. But remember, don't overdo it."
The smile in Shen Guiling's eyes became more genuine, "Don't worry, Dad."
"Well, you have a good rest."
Shen Qian originally wanted to give her some more advice, but seeing that Shen Guiling was so sensible, he felt that he was worrying too much.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and hesitated, "A Ling, what do you think of Shan Shan?"
Shen Guiling's eyelids lifted slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded a little. "What's going on?"
Shen Qian, "Everyone says this kid is crazy, stubborn, and hard to get along with. What do you think?"
Shen Guiling was silent.
Shen Qian was a little surprised and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Why are you silent? Is this really such a headache?"
Shen Guiling observed Shen Qian's expression calmly and asked, "Why is Dad suddenly concerned about her?"
Shen Qian, "It's because your grandfather likes her too much. This girl has a devilish personality and is not easy to offend. I think she is also very mean to Lan Xi and Qing Yu."
When Shen Qian thought about how Jiang Huashan dared to kick Shen Qingyu in front of Shen Zhuang, he couldn't help but call him a warrior, but this also refreshed his understanding of how favored Jiang Huashan was.
Shen Guiling, "..."
Seeing Shen Guiling not saying anything, Shen Qian coughed lightly and said, "Ah Ling, why don't you go and fish Jiang Huashan over?"
"!" Shen Guiling's eyes trembled. The emotions of the whole night were the most real at this moment. He stared at Shen Qian in a daze, "Father, she is my nominal sister."
Shen Qian was also stunned for a moment, then reacted, "What are you thinking? I am your father after all, how could I let you do something that would ruin your future? What I meant is that I want you to win her over and show more concern for her in the name of a brother."
"Oh." Shen Guiling lowered his eyes and reacted indifferently.
Seeing this, Shen Qian nodded as if he understood. "Dad knows it's a little unreasonable to ask you to please a child, but she is the old man's favorite after all. It's too late now. If I had known that the old man liked her so much, I should have recognized her. Now she's gotten a bargain for nothing."
When she heard that Shen Qian wanted to recognize Jiang Huashan, the discomfort she felt before became even stronger.
Shen Guiling took a deep breath, "It's not that I don't want to share Dad's worries, it's really... she's not easy to serve."
He deliberately used the word "serve" just to show how much of a compromise this matter was for him.
Shen Qian said, "She's just a little girl with a bit of a tricky personality. If you put in some effort, she should be easy to control. Ah Ling, are you having trouble?"
Shen Guiling wanted to say something but hesitated, not knowing how to start.
Shen Qian suddenly realized, "A Ling, do you look down on her..."
"Dad..." Shen Guiling interrupted him, "I'm short of money."
Shen Qian was slightly stunned.
Shen Guiling looked away, her ears slightly red. "I used all the pocket money my grandfather gave me to fund Meilian Gao's research. My time with those girls was mostly arranged by my aunt and dad, and it didn't cost much. But Jiang Huashan is an extremely hedonistic person, extravagant and corrupt, greedy for fame and fortune, and likes to compare..."
Is it that bad?
Shen Qian was a little slow to react for a moment. You know, his son has never said anything bad about anyone since he was a child.
However, Shen Guiling's awkward look did not seem fake, and Shen Qian couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
From childhood to adulthood, it seems that he, as a father, has never given his son pocket money.
Today is different from the past. Shen Qian is now more and more interested in Shen Guiling. Without thinking, he took out a black card from his pocket.
"Dad was inconsiderate. Take this card. It will be convenient for you to do things in the future."
"How much money can a vain child spend? You should coax him well."
