Chapter 513 Bai Mi recognizes his relatives
Chapter 513 Bai Mi recognizes his relatives
Orchid Garden.
The autumn sun shines through the small window onto the rosewood coffee table that exudes a fresh wood fragrance. Shen Lanxi supports her chin with one hand, and her fingertips gently fiddle with the black and gold fountain pen in her hand.
This pen was a reward from the Military and Political Academy for the two generals who were promoted to captain. He and Shen Guiling each had one.
So, in fact, when he saw the pen that Jiang Huashan took away, he already knew that Shen Guiling had come. He spoke so stiffly at that time because he could not control his emotions.
As an opponent, Shen Lanxi saw through Shen Guiling's cunning nature at a glance. He deliberately left behind something that could be used for identification just to provoke him.
But Shen Lanxi was angry not because of Shen Guiling, but because of Jiang Huashan's attitude.
She actually went to put down her pen.
Given Jiang Huashan's personality, if she were truly open and honest, she wouldn't bother explaining even if the pen was left on the bed, so isn't her eagerness to hide it only making things more obvious?
"Master?"
Gao Zhi lay on the windowsill, stealing glances at Shen Lanxi cautiously.
"Young Master, why are you staring at that pen?"
After looking for a long time without making any sense, Gao Zhi touched his chin and went back under the tree.
The poor little thing stuck its neck out of his arms and looked around the new yard curiously.
Gao Zhi's face suddenly turned serious, and he patted the poor little boy's head. "Oh, you're right. He has realized that he is an idiot."
Poor little thing, “…”

In contrast to Shen Lanxi, Shen Guiling swept away the previous gloom and his expression became visibly much softer.
As soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard, he saw a group of bodyguards patrolling Qiu Garden. Shen Guiling slowed down his pace and looked at the leading bodyguard. "What happened?"
The inner and outer courtyards of Shen Garden are clearly defined. Bodyguards guard the outer courtyard, while the inner courtyard is managed by a special steward. According to regulations, bodyguards will only be allowed to enter the inner courtyard if there is a situation that threatens the life and safety of the inner courtyard owner.
However, Shen Garden was heavily guarded. In the five years since Shen Guiling entered the garden, this situation had only occurred when Fu Lingnan caused trouble in Qin Garden.
The leading bodyguard immediately stepped forward to explain, "Master A Ling, we've spotted a suspicious individual entering the inner courtyard."
Is there anyone else who can sneak into Shen Garden?
Shen Guiling looked serious, "Did you catch the person?"
The bodyguard said, "We caught him. He's the handyman who's in charge of cleaning Qiu Garden. All the guests here today are VIPs, and Butler Shen told us not to make it public."
Shen Guiling nodded, turned and walked through the corridor.
He originally planned to show up in the main hall, but just after passing the screen wall, he saw Yu Sheng wandering in front of the main hall. In order to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Shen Guiling hesitated for a moment and turned back to the inner courtyard.
This time he deliberately bypassed Qiu Garden. As soon as he stepped onto the covered bridge, he saw a figure peeking past him.
"..."
Bai Mi looked around, his handsome face filled with impatience. "Is there something wrong with the Shen family? The land where they built their house is like a maze. Why do the mountains and rivers all look the same? They didn't even put up signposts."
He walked forward in a wretched manner while complaining, and before he knew it, he bumped head-on into Shen Guiling.
"..."
Their eyes met, Shen Guiling narrowed his eyes slightly, and Bai Mi was so scared that his cerebellum atrophied and he ran away.
Halfway through the run, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip and his body suddenly stiffened.
He suppressed his inner fear and turned around tremblingly, "First... first of all, let me make it clear, I'm not here to cause trouble this time, you are not allowed to use force."
Shen Guiling looked at the pair of eyes that looked like her own, her eyes shone darkly, "How did you get in?"
Bai Mi's eyes flickered slightly, "Just...just came in like this."
Shen Guiling turned around and looked in the direction of Qiuyuan, his expression clear, "Are you the one they're looking for?"
When he asked this question, his black eyes were obviously filled with a bit of hostility.
Bai Mi stared at Shen Guiling's eyes intently, and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. The Bai family's familiarity with the Ruifeng Eyes was ingrained in their bones, so even though he had mild face blindness, he could still tell at a glance that Shen Guiling was different.
He knew from a young age that he had a brother whom he had never met who was stranded in Country A and whose life and death were unknown. That brother was the son of the youngest prince of Country S. Based on this situation, Shen Guiling was very likely the royal grandson that the old woman had been looking for for twenty years.
But what puzzled Bai Mi was that he had dealt with Shen Guiling before, so why didn't he notice it at all at that time?
Could it be that the beating awakened the bond between them as both members of the Bai family?
Bai Mi felt inexplicably excited, with an unconcealable glitter in his eyes, and strode towards Shen Guiling, "I..."
Before he could say anything, Shen Guiling put his hands in his pockets and kicked him. "What are you doing sneaking into Shen Garden? Who are you trying to kidnap?"
"...Yeah! Ahem~" The light in Bai Mi's eyes shattered instantly, and he groaned in pain while clutching his stomach. "I...I came to find you."
"..." Shen Guiling looked indifferent, lowered his eyes and glanced at him, "Get lost."
After saying that, he looked straight past Bai Mi without looking around.
Bai Mi knelt on one knee, stared at Shen Guiling's back and hesitated for a moment, but finally chased after him.
"Shen Guiling, if you miss me, you will definitely regret it later."
Shen Guiling frowned, "I won't. I'm not interested in you."
"..." Bai Mi was stunned for a moment, feeling disgusted, with a strange expression, "Who told you this? I'm not interested in you either."
No! He suddenly thought of something and immediately corrected himself, "I am interested in you, but not in the way you think. I..."
It couldn't be explained in a few words, but fortunately he was well prepared.
Bai Mi took out a white silk scarf from his pocket and said, "Here, take it."
Shen Guiling looked at him expressionlessly, with no intention of helping him at all.
Seeing this, Bai Mi carefully spread out the scarf, revealing a strand of black hair tied with a red silk thread.
Shen Guiling, "..."
Bai Mi looked at him attentively and expectantly, "This is my hair, take it."
As long as Shen Guiling uses his hair for genetic testing, the truth will be revealed.
By then, Shen Guiling will not have to recognize the enemy as his father in Country A, and his uncle will be able to rest in peace.
Shen Guiling withdrew his gaze, as if avoiding something dirty, and said indifferently, "Take it away."
Bai Mi persisted, "No, listen to my explanation..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Suddenly, an extremely wild and arrogant laugh came from not far away.
Guan He jumped out from behind the courtyard wall, holding his belly. "Fuck! Shen Guiling, you are really charming, attractive to both men and women!"
Shen Guiling turned around and looked at Guan He indifferently.
At that moment, Zhou Yanheng walked out slowly, his eyes wandering between Shen Guiling and Bai Mi. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness Bai has only been in Country A for two years, yet you understand our country's customs and practices so well? You even know the custom of tying hair with black hair?"
What is this about black hair tied together? Bai Mi was confused. He raised an eyebrow and looked at the two people in front of him, then turned to look at Shen Guiling, "Who are these two people? The Shen family's watchdogs? Why are they so disrespectful to you?"
It seems that Shen Guiling is not doing well in the Shen family. Any guard in Country S who dared to speak to him like this would have been killed long ago.
"..." Guan He couldn't laugh anymore, he was furious, "Fuck! If you're sick, Bai, go see a doctor."
We have been classmates for two years, and every time before fighting with Bai Mi, he has to introduce himself again, but the key is that this bastard never remembers.
