The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 618: Alix was done with the Shen’s
Chapter 618: Alix was done with the Shen’s
Moments later, after the funeral proceedings had just started, Alix excused herself and found her way to the bathroom.
It was her first time inside the Shen ancestral behemoth home so she took her time walking as she observed her surroundings. The walls were decorated with paintings showing their family history and glory. Another day, Alix would have been interested but of course, she could not erase Shen Biao’s husband’s system from her mind.
It was not even just a simple scheming system but super scheming. To her amateur detective mind, maybe he was the one responsible for the death of Shen Xiaoping, the coincidence was just a little too much for her to accept.
If he was, then he was really going to lay out more traps for them and see to it that they all fell inside, never to recover.
Perhaps it was best to warn them...Alix was struggling with the knowledge of what lay ahead for the Shen’s. But when she considered that they were standing in her way, she was uncertain.
"Hey, Alix, stop there."
A voice screamed out of nowhere forcing Alix to stop in her tracks. She whirled around slowly because of the commanding and rude tone of the person ordering her to stop.
This same person was Shen Biao, no surprise.
Alix didn’t display a single iota of fear as she faced the arrogant woman that had come after her with four bodyguards in tow.
"You bitch, it was you, right?" She sneered and moved a finger to poke Alix’s head.
Alix stopped it in time and shoved her back, pushing her into the waiting arms of one of her bodyguards.
"Miss Shen, I have no idea what this is about but your behavior is surely improper given that this is your grandfather’s funeral. If you want to talk to me. You should lower your voice, soften your tone and avoid barking like a street dog."
Shen Biao sucked in her breath and moved closer with raised her hand to slap Alix. For Alix, avoiding that slap was simple, she grabbed Shen Biao’s hand and slapped her across the cheek.
The bodyguards moved to defend their boss but she kicked them all back with ease despite being heavily pregnant.
With a cold demeanor she raised her eyebrows at Shen Biao who was standing still with a furious gaze, her eyes wanted to stab daggers into Alix’s heart.
"Miss Shen, why are you attacking a helpless pregnant woman? I have no idea what i have done to offend you?"
"You killed my grandfather." She pointed at Alix and made an accusation hysterically.
She heaved lightly as if she was on the brink of an asthma attack.
The loud bold accusation did not come as a surprise to Alix, she already anticipated that some blind people would point their fingers her way given all that was going on. Of course, she didn’t think anyone would actually dare to make the accusation to her face directly.
She opened her mouth to retort but a group of servants were coming so she held back for a moment, waiting for them to go by.
Shen Biao took her silence as an admission of guilt and she laughed callously.
"I was right, see, you cannot even deny the accusation. You killed my grandfather to get him out of the way so that you can fulfill your ambitions to be president. Let me tell you right now, it will never happen. My grandfather may be dead but the Shen family has others that can replace him. My father will be the next...."
"Shut your rotten mouth." Sternly. Alix raised her voice like an empress that had come across a disrespectful concubine. "Miss Shen, you sure do love making up unproven conspiracies. Why would i need to kill your grandfather, he was not going the election anyway.
Haven’t you heard the news or aceepted the results of the vote on this matter? We do not want ordinary humans as bureau presidents anymore. I will tell you the same thing i told your grandfather when he was alive, only system hosts in your family can stand for the position and as far as i know, your father is not one so he doesn’t qualify."
But your husband is and you treated him like trash so even if he could stand and win, ascending to glory, you will not get to taste the sweetness, she thought.
"One more thing miss Shen, let this be the last time you accuse me of having a hand in the death of your late grandfather. If anyone should be accused, it should be your father, it seems like he is eager to fill the position his father was once destined for. Haven’t you heard the whispers, someone in your family did away with your grandfather for power or money. Do not involve innocent bystanders in your family feud. Anyway, i wish you good luck in your life miss Shen. you will need it."
She smiled mysteriously, thinking that all the Shen’s were going to need all the luck they could get. Her own mind was made up, she would not be giving them a warning about the danger under their roof.
Alix turned around to continue on her merry way and stopped.
"Oh, one more thing, if i experience any body weakness or spotting later because you scared my babies, not even the world’s best security team will be able to save you from my wrath."
Shen Biao stomped her foot when she watched Alix walking away from her so care freely. She was a precious young woman raised in a wealthy family. When she said jump, people would ask how high and nobody ever turned their back on her.
"You...get back here." She looked at her bodyguards that were reluctant to attack because at the end of the day. Alix was pregnant. The Zhang’s and Tai’s would not take it lightly if they harmed Alix foolishly
"Get her you stupid fools, what does our Shen family pay you for?"
She screamed loudly without a care, not minding the guests and servants walking by. Those people did not pay her any mind either, they were used to Shen Biao’s shrewish ways. She was a woman that regularly humiliated her husband in public and private without a care so this was nothing.
Even the family employees had been her victims from childhood to date.
"If you don’t move, I am going to fire you all and have your families thrown in jail." Shen Biao threatened.
The bodyguards were actually going to move but then they saw a middle aged woman approaching them. She was Shen Biao’s mother.
She turned her head to the left, gesturing that they go off.
"Mother, that bitch Alix slapped me." She run to her mother and showed her the red mark and slight swelling of her cheek.
Her mother’s lips immediately thinned, angry on behalf of her daughter. She had never laid a hand on her precious child since she was a child but someone else had slapped her, how bold!
"Shen Biao, your father has asked you to stop causing unnecessary trouble and embarrassing the family in front of important guests. It’s the day of your grandfather’s funeral, grudges can be settled at another time."
She was satisfied with that promise and her eyes glistened, soon Alix would be on her knees before her.
When Alix made it to the bathroom meanwhile, she also made another decision. The Shen family didn’t need to have system hosts. They had only two system hosts and originally Alix was going to spare them but thanks to Shen Biao, she decided not to. The words Shen Biao’s mother had said had reached her ears.
They want to settle grudges! she scoffed.
"Blue smurf, i want their systems except for him, Shen Biao’s husband."
