Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

Shen Jiyuan was afraid that he would spill the cup on himself, so he could only hold the cup for him while telling him to drink slowly.

However, Shen Ji did not drink tea like a cow chewing on a peony as he had imagined. Instead, he tasted it quite skillfully, which Shen Jiyuan found extremely strange.

He was genuinely curious about what kind of person Su Qian was.

"Shen Jiyuan?"

He didn't know how much time had passed when a voice suddenly came from behind him. Shen Jiyuan turned around and saw a tall man walking out from the back of the hall.

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Lou San? What are you doing here?"

Lou San is the third young master of the second branch of the Lou family. His name is Lou Shuting, and he is now a professor in the History Department of University A, a highly educated intellectual.

The Shen family and the Lou family used to be neighbors. He and Lou Shuting were childhood friends who had seen each other naked.

However, the Shen family encountered some problems and moved house. He was still young at the time, and the two lost contact.

They met again at university and reconnected.

However, Jingyue Residence is the property of the eldest branch of the Lou family, and Lou Shuting usually doesn't come here. He didn't expect to meet the other party here.

Lou Shuting smiled. "My uncle had something to attend to, so he asked me to entertain you." He walked over gracefully and sat down next to Shen Jiyuan, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the little boy Shen Ji in front of him. "This... is your son?"

Although the fact that Shen Jiyuan had a son hadn't spread widely, there were rumors circulating in the industry, and he happened to hear some of them.

Shen Jiyuan didn't hide anything. He nodded, patted Shen Ji's head, and said, "This is your Uncle Lou. Say hello."

Shen Ji obediently said, "Hello Uncle Lou, my name is Shen Ji. Uncle Lou, you're so handsome!"

Lou Shuting smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. You're handsome too."

Shen Ji chuckled, "That's because my husband is good-looking, and my mother is beautiful too; the genes are just right."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

Why is he Lao Deng and Su Qian is the mother?

Lou Shuting laughed heartily, "Old Shen, I never thought you, a madman, could have such an interesting son. You must have saved the galaxy in your past life."

Shen Jiyuan's lips twitched. "Are you done yet? I didn't come here for you to gossip."

Lou Shuting leaned back lazily on the stool. "What do you want to choose?"

Shen Jiyuan asked, "Are there any jade types? Preferably high-quality antique jade, with excellent texture."

Lou Shuting nodded. "Yes, who are you giving it to?"

"Old Yu," Shen Jiyuan said, "aren't you going to his birthday party? I don't know what's gotten into that old rascal, why is he suddenly throwing a birthday party?"

Lou Shuting said, "I heard his childhood sweetheart brother is back, he's probably happy."

"It can't be that bad," Shen Jiyuan scoffed. "His brother isn't going to hell, he's just going home. Why is he so happy?"

Lou Shuting didn't actually know much about Yu Wenshuo's situation either. He shrugged and said, "They just have a good brotherly relationship. Are you jealous?"

Shen Jiyuan rolled his eyes.

Lou Shuting looked at Shen Jiyuan in surprise. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Shen Jiyuan seemed to have changed a little.

He used to feel like a puppet written on paper, devoid of soul and emotion.

But now, he actually possesses this normal, vibrant... down-to-earth quality.

But this doesn't seem so bad.

Lou Shuting stood up and said, "Come with me. We just got a batch of jade in the shop. You can choose one yourself."

The Lou family actually had ancestors who were imperial chefs, and all members of the Lou family were excellent cooks. The famous Suifangzhai restaurant was opened by the eldest branch of the Lou family for leisure.

In addition, the eldest branch of the Lou family is also one of the top figures in the antique world.

Not everyone is qualified to enter Mirror Moon Residence; those who can buy things here are either very rich or very powerful.

Of course, Jingyueju also guarantees quality; there are never any counterfeit products here.

Shen Jiyuan and his two companions arrived at the store. As soon as they entered, they saw another tall man walking towards them.

It's Huo Yunzheng.

He was accompanied by a man wearing a black windbreaker.

Shen Ji paused when he saw the man; he felt that this person... seemed somewhat familiar.

But I can't remember where I've seen it before.

Huo Yunzheng gently approached Lou Shuting, placed the things he was carrying into Lou Shuting's hands, and then greeted Shen Jiyuan, "President Shen, it's been a long time."

Shen Jiyuan nodded to him as well, "President Huo, you're here too."

Huo Yunzheng smiled. "Yeah, I brought my friend here to pick out some things." He turned around and introduced, "This is my friend Nian Fei."

After saying that, he introduced the man, "This is Shen Jiyuan, the head of the Shen family."

Nian Fei glanced at Shen Jiyuan with indifferent eyes, but did not speak. He simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

Shen Jiyuan narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly with even more indifference, and then quickly turned his face away.

Shen Ji: "..."

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, and Huo Yunzheng scratched his head in embarrassment.

Lou Shuting, who was on good terms with Shen Jiyuan, naturally knew what kind of person he was, and quickly came to his rescue, saying, "Huo Yunzheng, you take your friend to pick something out, I'll show Old Shen around."

Huo Yunzheng raised his hand and glanced at his watch, his brows furrowing.

Lou Shuting smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't take up much time. Go quickly."

Huo Yunzheng then reluctantly led his men away.

Shen Ji watched the bandit's figure disappear into the distance, narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he tugged at Shen Jiyuan's trouser leg, signaling the other to bend down.

Shen Jiyuan looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Ji simply opened his arms wide, "Daddy, hug me."

Shen Jiyuan could tell he was up to something, so he picked him up from the ground and lowered his voice, "What do you want to say?"

Shen Ji whispered, "Dad, didn't you think that iceberg who just left looked a little familiar?"

"look familiar?"

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback. He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Nian Fei, but the two had already disappeared. He asked suspiciously, "Where do they look familiar?"

Shen Ji frowned. "You don't recognize him?"

Shen Jiyuan shook his head.

Shen Ji frowned even more deeply.

Old Deng doesn't recognize him. Could it be someone the original owner knew?

Was it the original owner's few memories that caused his subconscious cognitive reaction?

"Do you know him?" Shen Jiyuan asked.

Shen Ji slowly shook his head. "I just feel like I've seen this somewhere before, but I can't remember where."

Shen Jiyuan said, "If you can't remember, then don't think about it. You're just a three-year-old kid, why are you worrying so much? Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

Shen Ji responded with an "oh".

Lou Shuting instructed the shopkeeper to bring out the few newly arrived antique jade pieces and let Shen Jiyuan choose one.

These pieces of jade are all of exceptional quality; they are all top-quality antique jade.

Shen Jiyuan thought they were both nice, so he picked out a jade pendant as a gift. He also bought the remaining two jade Buddhas, one for Shen Ji to hang around his neck, and the other he originally intended to hang around his own neck.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ji snatched it away as well.

Shen Jiyuan said irritably, "You already have one, what are you fighting over?"

Shen Ji, still shaken, quickly put the jade Buddha away, patted his chest, and said, "You can't wear this thing, it's too scary."

Shen Jiyuan was puzzled. "What?"

Shen Ji said leisurely, "Are you crazy? According to the usual plot development, jade pendants, jade Buddhas, jade beads... and so on are all key props that trigger melodramatic plot twists!"

"And the essential plot point is definitely something like mistaking your savior for someone else."

"The ending will definitely be one of utter destitution and family ruin."

"I don't want to end up on the streets as a beggar," he said slowly. "Old Deng, please spare me."

Shen Jiyuan: "..."

If he ever makes Shen Ji watch any more melodramatic TV dramas again, he'll be a coward!
