Chapter 552
After leaving Shen Mochen, Shen Xinyue returned to her bedroom.
So far, her first impression of Shen Mochen is still "really handsome." Perhaps using the word "handsome" tarnishes him. Maybe using "beautiful" is more suitable and appropriate to describe his appearance.
When her second grandfather hinted at her, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. As one of the most core juniors of the Shen Family, she was quite aware of just how powerful the Shen Family was.
The power of the Shen Family is irresistible, and she wouldn't resist it. She had known her fate since she was a child, being regarded as the "most beautiful woman among the young Shen Family juniors" by outsiders, she would become an important pawn in arranging marriages with other families, she would become so-and-so Mrs., backing the Shen Family, acting as a bridge between her husband's family and her own family.
Of course, she didn't want such an arrangement, she didn't want to marry someone she didn't like, nor did she want a life with no surprises. But she had no choice, the family's interests outweighed her personal interests.
But when her second grandfather hinted at her relationship with Shen Mochen, she suddenly felt that it seemed not so bad. This was far better than the life she had previously imagined.
After all, it was Shen Mochen, with such celestial looks. It's hard for any girl not to have a favorable impression upon seeing Shen Mochen for the first time, and Shen Xinyue was no different.
Since she couldn't choose her husband herself, picking the best-looking one was undoubtedly the most comforting result.
But the only problem was, Li Zhuangsheng seemed a bit too promiscuous. According to the information she got, he not only had unclear relations with the Yin Family sisters since childhood, but also had ambiguous relationships with everyone in 0819.
But just these things are nothing, she had seen men being womanizers with three or four wives since childhood. It's very normal for men to have several mistresses, as long as they could smoothly have heirs with their wives and perform a loving couple image.
No matter how many concubines or illegitimate children there were, they couldn't shake the wife's position or divide the power of both families.
However, she was also aware of what happened at Guanghai Manor.
The events between Shen Mochen and the first-in-line heir of the Alexandrov Earl's Family can be described as epic!
Not dudes, have you thought about what would happen to your future wife if you do this? If we were together in the future, people would mock me for hundreds of years at least! When future generations mention this, they would say Shen Mochen and his Roman Bai Yueguang, their story is really touching, really sigh-worthy.
And me? I have become a defeated dog on the roadside!
Thinking about this, Shen Xinyue's feelings become complicated instantly. As the daughter of the Shen Family, her reputation is more important than clothes! How is this different from letting me run naked on the street!
Sigh... Shen Xinyue let out a faint sigh. It really makes people uncomfortable, although she had long known you can't have it both ways with sugarcane.
Let's not talk about these for now, it's still early. Shen Xinyue shook her head, recalling Li Zhuangsheng's demeanor when he returned home today, trying to give him an objective evaluation.
But it's difficult for anyone to give a completely objective evaluation in front of Shen Mochen. Everyone, regardless of gender, has a love for beauty.
Shen Xinyue was not immune, she could only strive to be as objective as possible.
Towards the elders, he was neither humble nor arrogant. Perhaps he still had some doubts, but in any case, he hadn't fully integrated into the Shen Family. This was easy to handle, later on, he could be moved from Buque to the front line, and transferred to work in the back office at the Capital City headquarters.
As for the maid assigned to him, there wasn't a trace of abnormality in his eyes. It's widely rumored he's a philanderer, but there wasn't a hint of lechery in his eyes when looking at the maid. Instead, those maids were eager to try, itching for action.
Shen Xinyue even suspected that if she weren't around, Shen Mochen would probably be stripped by them on the spot.
The most direct way for the maids to advance was to be taken as a concubine, and naturally, it would be better if they could bear one or two children. Although illegitimate children wouldn't be acknowledged by the Shen Family, and couldn't even bear the Shen surname, the Shen Family wouldn't be stingy in further cultivating them either.
However, Shen Xinyue thought the maids were more interested in Li Zhuangsheng's fresh and tender body than "advancement." Between Shen Mochen and them, the roles of prey and hunter seemed reversed.
Fortunately, Shen Mochen was decent enough, lustful but not indulgent. Otherwise, Shen Xinyue couldn't imagine what the family would become, she wouldn't want to see Shen Mochen doing such things with women in front of her every day. Of course, it's also possible that Shen Mochen was spoiled, after all, none of his women were ordinary.
Overall, aside from the matter with Catherine, Shen Xinyue is still satisfied with Shen Mochen. The most important thing is she never thought Shen Mochen could really be with Catherine the Countess. That's simply a flight of fancy.
Shen Mochen stayed at Shen Xinyue's home for two days, then it was time for him to return to his roots.
Although he was alone, he represented the third house of the entire direct line, so many real power figures from the Shen Family were present, including many dignitaries from other families.
Under the guidance of his elders, Shen Mochen worshipped the ancestors. After a busy day, Shen Muchong announced the return of the third house, and Shen Mochen was formally inscribed in the Shen Family's genealogy.
There was a small episode before that, in the Shen Family, names were given according to generational ranks, by right, Shen Mochen should be of the "Xin" generation, but he didn't change his name, Shen Muchong waved his hand, gave special permission, just that in the future his descendants must follow the normal order.
Shen Mochen had no objection, things of the future, will be dealt with in the future.
Staying at the Shen Family for a few more days, Shen Mochen also met quite a few big figures, many of whom were previously unreachable, were now smiling kindly at him.
As a child, Shen Mochen once fantasized, if one day he could meet some big figure, he would rush over, snot and tears, to tell them how pitiful the children living in slums were, hoping those high and mighty figures could change their lives.
Now he saw them, and as long as he wished, these big figures would patiently listen to him. But he found himself with nothing to say.
After almost a week of vacation, Shen Mochen felt it was time to return to Buque. He had spoken to Shen Muchong about his intention to visit the Alexandrov Family. The other party earnestly advised a few words, but seeing Shen Mochen's determination, then also suggested that Shen Mochen visit as an envoy of the Shen Family.
This was reasonable, if Shen Muchong blindly agreed with all Shen Mochen's wayward requests, that would indeed be strange.
"Chen Shao, are you leaving tomorrow?" In the bedroom, She Yue looked at him reluctantly. The Promotion Device hadn't been used yet, and the master was going to leave.
He's leaving just like that? I got so excited for nothing! I didn't even get a chance to kiss him!
"Yes, I am a Completer. Used my vacation almost up, it's time to return to the team." Shen Mochen said blandly.
The four maids in this residence were named Xi Ren, Qing Wen, She Yue, and Qiu Yun. They didn't originally have these names, but Shen Mochen gave them these names because of his twisted sense of humor.
Renaming went smoothly, the master of the courtyard has absolute power over the maids.
