Chapter 143
Chapter 141 142
The noon sun gradually slanted westward, lengthening the shadows of the pedestrians on the street accordingly, and laying it on the ground edge by edge.
Song Bai raised his eyes again, and through the gap between the two tightly guarded gates, he looked at the white and elegant minimalist building behind.
Simple lines, elegant colors, flat grass, and neatly trimmed shrubs. To have such a house in this political center area of Kyoto, where no amount of money is worthwhile, is enough to see the strength of its owner’s family.
“It’s here, are you sure?” Song Bai put down the appraisal certificate in his hand and said to the butler in black tuxedo in front of the co-pilot.
The housekeeper is forty years old this year. As an extremely rare male full-time housekeeper, he has been by Sheng Lao’s side for 20 years. It can be said that he came to the Sheng family as soon as he graduated. He has never been nervous in the experience he has been around.
Even now.
However, facing this young male in his twenties, the butler couldn’t help softening his tone, which could be called gentle.
“Yes, right here, go down this road and we can go in.”
This is a treatment that has never been seen before in front of high-ranking officials who are used to being treated coldly by the housekeeper.
Song Bai didn’t know that he had received treatment that many politicians did not have. He just touched the terminal on his wrist, closed his eyes, and rearranged the situation in front of him.
Within five minutes of receiving Sheng An’s message, a military female who looked like a bodyguard bowed to Song Bai and told Song Bai that his master wanted to see Song Bai and asked him to come.
That attitude is arrogant and defiant.
Sadin threw something in his hand, Song Bai knew that it was a sign of his anger, and before he had time to understand what was going on, another butler in a tuxedo, dressed in a low-key but expensive manner, walked over quickly. While he reprimanded the bodyguard for being rude, he explained the situation to Song Bai and Sadin on the other.
To put it simply, in order to be able to leave the insect star, Sheng An reached a deal with Elder Sheng, and handed over the results of Song Bai’s previous medical examination in the school to compare the results of the blood test and the gene bank.
Judging from this DNA identification, Song Bai is the second grandson of Sheng Lao, the eldest son of Sheng Baichuan who ran away from the Sheng family thirty-five years ago.
Song Bai was not surprised by this result. After all, as the original author, he had long known that the original body was later claimed by Elder Sheng.
On the other hand, it was Sardin, who was extremely shocked. He sat in his seat, looking at Song Bai, then at the housekeeper, and then at Song Bai.
The housekeeper didn’t have time to wait for Sadin to be in a daze, he just came to explain and took Song Bai away.
So, without saying a word, the butler politely but forcefully asked Song Bai and them to leave. After all, it would be a sin to give way to the high-ranking old Sheng to wait for one more minute.
Taking advantage of the last gap, Song Bai went back and hugged Sadin, and told An Xin in his ear that he would go back later.
Sadin stared blankly and noticed that there was no surprise on Song Bai’s face. He seemed to understand something, and quietly watched Song Bai leave.
Now, Song Bai was sitting in the business car that Elder Sheng came to pick him up. The door of the car was opened, and the housekeeper got out. No one urged him. Everyone was waiting for Song Bai to take the initiative.
Song Bai understood what they were thinking. The fact that he was the grandson of the Sheng family was a certainty, so the status of the sole heir of the Sheng family was enough to shock him. Especially just before the gate of the Sheng family, no one dared to urge him, even the housekeeper who had a tough attitude before.
According to the plot of the original book, the original body is after walking into and out of the most powerful mansion in the whole insect star.
It’s just that Song Bai didn’t have time to think about his identity and status. The plot progressed faster than he expected. He tried to find clues about the civil strife in the currently known clues, but the identity of the initiator was still empty.
However, the current situation has narrowed the scope for him a lot.
Song Bai had already thought of a plan in his mind. His eyelashes moved slightly, he opened his eyes, and opened the car door and walked out.
The butler who was waiting under the car saw that Song Bai had only come out now, and thought to himself, after all, a child from a small businessman suddenly found out about his background and was so shocked that he couldn’t walk. It was really pitiful.
At that moment, the housekeeper looked at Song Bai with a little more pity, and his tone was a little lighter: “Sir, follow me, this way.”
Song Bai didn’t notice this, he just kept moving forward along the bluestone road. Under the guidance of the housekeeper, he went around the corridors and finally came to the door of Old Sheng’s room.
Across the door, Song Bai could still hear the sound of the wooden crutches knocking on the ground, accompanied by Old Sheng’s anger.
“Who gave him the guts!”
Song Bai stopped in front of the door, the housekeeper mistakenly thought he was timid, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: “Old Sheng is still angry with Sheng An, and he is dissatisfied with the fact that he will be executed first, and then the press conference will be held without notifying him, you don’t have to. I’m too worried, Lao Sheng’s temper is a little bit out, but he won’t do anything to you.”
Song Bai glanced at the housekeeper in surprise, but did not expect the housekeeper to say such a thing.
For a while, he couldn’t tell whether it was the housekeeper’s comfort or good intentions. He just nodded, thanked the housekeeper, and pushed the door in.
The housekeeper stood respectfully outside the door and didn’t go in, but after Song Bai walked in, he took the door handle and sealed off all the sounds inside the door.
This house is the study room of the Sheng family. Since Mr. Sheng took over the position of the head of the family, as long as he is at home, he will handle official business in this house, discuss the proposed legislation with government officials, or work with the military department. Members discussed border garrison and war issues.
Until today, it is the first time that such a low-status middle-class businessman has been welcomed here.
Standing in this study that was visited by countless high-ranking people, Song Bai didn’t feel how honored or pressured he was. He just swept the surroundings calmly, and saw that he was facing the window. There is a rectangular table. On both sides of the long table, there are bookcases with two walls. The books displayed on the cabinets are not the classics and classics that ordinary people visit, but booklets bound into volumes one after another. It can be seen from the handwriting on the spine, That was the hundreds of bills, big and small, that had been handled by Mr. Sheng over the years. They fill the whole room with a rigid and depressing atmosphere.
However, the feelings brought by these bills, when Song Bai’s eyes saw the old man standing behind the table with a cane, everything became worthless.
Sheng Lao is over seventy years old, and has long passed the prime of his body, and has entered the final stage of the Zerg’s life: old age.
After the Zerg people enter old age, the aging speed of physical fitness and appearance is more than that of human beings, and the older they are, the more obvious it is.
Old Sheng’s temples are white, and the layers of wrinkles are deeply imprinted on his exposed skin. Although he has the top medical team in the whole insect star, he still can’t stop his dim eyes, which leads to Because of the fact that he had to wear presbyopic glasses when reading documents, and he was sitting for a long time and neglected to exercise, his physical function was severely deteriorated in old age, and he had to walk with crutches. This made him look like an ordinary old man who was very mediocre and could not be found when thrown into the crowd.
However, for such an old man, when his eyes glanced at Song Bai, Song Bai instinctively felt a heavy blow to his head. Countless apparitions and countless pasts came to his mind. He recalled his childhood when he was bullied and isolated for his classmates, and remembered that many years later, he would stand on the sidelines with an attitude of nothing to do with himself, and think that Mature is actually a naive teenager, but more often he is sitting at the desk, complacently waiting for readers to cry after coding a new chapter on the computer.
His life history, his self-esteem, and the unbearable he was trying to maintain, seemed to be in plain sight in front of the old man in front of him.
Elder Sheng seemed to be satisfied with the effect he had caused. He leaned on his cane and tapped the ground, as if he was instructing a junior about daily affairs, and said, “This Friday and next Saturday are good days, you can choose One, I will hold a banquet for you and talk to other noble families. By the way, you can also move back directly. The descendants of my Sheng family are mixed up with a group of merchants, what is it like?”
Old Sheng’s influence on Song Bai only lasted for a moment, and soon he came to his senses.
Song Bai suddenly realized that he understood why the path of inheriting the Sheng family would be so smooth. How could he encounter obstacles when the elders who said so clearly took the initiative to open the way in front of him.
In Song Bai’s anticipation, he thought that Elder Sheng had rejected him. After all, he was a descendant of the Sheng family who emerged out of thin air, and he might even threaten the status of Sheng An, the heir carefully cultivated by Elder Sheng. I was prepared to be scolded and kicked out, so I had a lot of magnanimity and fearlessness when I came in.
However, thinking of what the housekeeper said before, it is not difficult to understand now.
Because of his arbitrary character, the descendants fled one after another. He must be impatient. In addition, because of his advanced age, he is getting older every day, and he is getting more and more impatient for the inheritance of the Sheng family.
At the age of Sheng Lao, he no longer cares whether his descendants are talented or not, as long as he has the blood of the Sheng family, he can make the Sheng family continue.
Therefore, even the original body with mediocre talents finally ascended the seat of the Sheng family head.
After Sheng Lao sat back at the long table, Song Bai, who had not responded for a long time, gradually lost his patience. Just as he was about to speak, the young male opposite suddenly moved.
He didn’t answer Old Sheng’s words, but pulled out the chair opposite the long table by himself, and sat on it by himself.
Song Bai looked at Elder Sheng and said calmly, “What you said, I will think about it when I have time.”
This completely arrogant move did not arouse Old Sheng’s disgust. His gray eyebrows raised a little, showing a little interest: “Oh?”
Song Bai met Old Sheng’s eagle-like gaze and did not retreat at all.
Sheng Lao finally changed his posture completely. He moved the arm that was leaning on the arm of the chair and put it on the table. If the housekeeper sees it, he knows that this is a sign of Old Sheng’s interest. At the same time, he would also be shocked. Not only was Song Bai not so frightened that he couldn’t walk, but he even shouted at Old Sheng.
“You’re young, but you have a lot of courage.” Old Sheng’s eyes were wrinkled with a smile.
At the same time that Elder Sheng finally began to look at Song Bai, Song Bai was also observing Elder Sheng.
An old man who holds a lot of power and is almost comparable to the monarchs of the monarchy era. In the insect star with a clear hierarchy, he just smiled at the disrespectful behavior of the younger generation, which shows that he does not care about the hierarchy from the heart.
This is completely different from the initiator of civil unrest in order to consolidate his position he knows.
Then, the old man in front of him can be excluded.
Song Bai felt relieved, and for some reason, he was relieved.
“Okay, tell me, what do you think?” Sheng Laoping looked at Song Bai, not missing Song Bai’s tiny movements.
Although he didn’t know what he was testing, but since he had the guts, he was rarely interested. Then, listening to what the younger generation in front of him said, he couldn’t delay anything.
When Elder Sheng thought about it, he heard Song Bai say:
“I have no interest in inheriting the Sheng family.”
