Chapter 474 - 474 Meeting!
474 Meeting!
Shen Yuansong’s body stiffened.
As for the servants of the Shen family, all of them came out and were secretly standing in inconspicuous positions. They were looking at these intruders and seemed to be frightened.
After all, since becoming the first wealthy family in the capital, the Shen Manor had never been forcefully broken into. Also, the squad of guards brought by the queen was all skilled, and when they entered the Shen family, they directly broke the front door and rushed in like a military squad. The large iron gate of the Shen family had been torn down and looked extremely messy.
The queen entered elegantly, completely unlike a guest in someone else’s home. It felt as if she was in her own home, and she sat directly in the main seat of the living room.
Shen Yuansong’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.
The Shen family’s bodyguards were all provided by a professional security team, and they even trained some themselves. But Shen Yuansong was well aware that these people couldn’t compare to real guards! That was why he had been anxious to have the Valor Gate provide a few people for them. If there were three or four people from the Valor Gate here, they could at least hold them off for a few minutes, and it was possible for Chu Cichen to take Shen Ruojing and leave from the back door.
Now, they were blocked like this…
Shen Yuansong gave a wry smile. “Madam, what are you trying to do?”
“I changed my mind,” the queen spoke directly. “I don’t want your compensation. I only want our princess, so please bring out your granddaughter.”
The queen smiled. “Actually, I don’t understand. Isn’t it an honor for her to marry our prince and become a princess? Or do you not like my lousy son?”
The queen called him a lousy son, but anyone who knew a little about the current situation in Country A knew how much the queen loved this son. It was said that as the crown prince didn’t like to compete, the queen had helped him secretly and already killed all of the current king’s heirs, leaving only him alive. Therefore, even though he was not in Country A for so many years, his status had never changed.
Shen Yuansong immediately smiled and said, “How can that be? That person’s wisdom and strategy are the best I’ve ever seen, second only to the queen.”
The queen nodded. “So, where is your granddaughter?”
Shen Yuansong straightened his slightly curved back slowly. “Madam, my granddaughter is already married and has three children. Thank you for your favor, but her status really isn’t suitable to match your country’s crown prince.”
The crown prince of your country…
This remark revealed the distance between their identities directly.
Shen Yuansong seemed to have decided to stand his ground.
Hearing this, the queen narrowed her eyes and exerted the pressure of someone who had been in power for a long time. This pressure directly bore down onto Shen Yuansong. However, he stopped retreating. He was also the head of one of the four major families in China and had been in charge for so many years. Even though he knew that he was not as powerful as the queen, he could still face her gaze without fear!
The two stared at each other for a long time, and the queen smiled. “Interesting, it turns out you have never been afraid of us.”
Shen Yuansong spoke up, “Queen, this is China. Our identities here are only businessmen… of course, I still deeply admire you in my heart.”
He looked around. “But your behavior of intruding without the host’s permission is considered illegal in China. It is trespassing on private property.”
“Is that so?” The queen smiled. “I haven’t been in China for a long time, so I’m not very familiar with Chinese law. I thought I was in Country A. Since that’s the case, I will apologize to China later. How about it? Oh, if your family suffered any damages, just let me know how much and we will compensate you accordingly.”
It was an apology in words only, with no sincerity at all!
Did the Shen family need the money she was offering?
Shen Yuansong was getting angry.
This was clearly a case of being outclassed by an opponent.
He took another deep breath and said, “There is no need for compensation. We are already in a partnership. It is fine that you don’t understand our etiquette, but I still hope that you won’t do this again next time.”
The queen sighed. “I can’t promise that. After all, I’m getting old and my memory is blurry. Speaking of which, isn’t the Shen family the number one powerhouse in the capital? Your security measures are too weak. Do you need me to send some personal guards over?”
Shen Yuansong: “…”
He lowered his head. “China is safe everywhere, and there is no need for too many security measures. Even if there are times when we need them, the government of China will also protect us. Actually, not to mention the armed forces of China, even Valor Gate alone has a powerful presence in the capital, so the queen doesn’t need to worry too much. On the other hand, you only brought a single team of personal guards over. The capital is a place that is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so it’s better to keep a low profile.”
The queen’s face grew even colder, and she sneered. “Are you threatening me? As far as I know, Valor Gate will not be too involved with the four major families of the capital. You’re probably going to fail if you want to rely on them!”
Shen Yuansong smiled. “We are all Chinese. If something really happens, someone like Mr. Hong will definitely take action.”
The queen narrowed her eyes. Finally, she saw the tactics of this old fox, who was not as weak and easy to bully as she had thought.
She lowered her gaze and asked, “So, have you made up your mind to break the agreement?”
Shen Yuansong didn’t want to offend the queen, so he immediately lowered his head when he heard her softened tone. “Your Majesty, the daughters of the Shen family have difficulty adapting to the climate and environment of Country A. Let’s cancel this agreement, and the penalty will be paid by our Shen family!”
The queen smiled. “If you want to discuss this, that’s fine. But your granddaughter should come out. It’s only appropriate for her to come and meet an elder, right? Could it be that your granddaughter is a heavenly beauty that cannot be seen by me?”
Shen Yuansong didn’t understand why the queen was so persistent. He was about to refuse, but then Shen Ruojing’s voice came from upstairs. “It’s not that she can’t be seen. It’s just that she’s rough and vulgar. I’m afraid she will tarnish the Queen’s eyes.”
The queen heard this and suddenly looked up.
She saw a slender figure standing there. Her slender body resembled a pine tree, yet with seemingly infinite strength. Her clear peach blossom eyes were cold when she looked at the queen.
Beside her, a tall man stood warily, guarding her. When the queen saw him, her pupils shrank slightly and she furrowed her brow.
