Chapter 321: Want to Speak? It

"Can you stop pretending every day that you're the only one in the world who's clear‑headed? Seeing you wear that mask in front of Mom and Dad makes me sick, and now that they're not here, what are you still pretending for?"

Shen Zeyu's reckless words and actions angered Shen Shu, who left the room expressionlessly, taking off his suit and handing it to his bodyguard.

"You all take the people outside and wait; I'll be up there in a moment."

Shen Shu rolled up his sleeves before Shen Zeyu, his face grim, his eyes filled with angry disappointment toward Shen Zeyu.

He swung his fist, and Shen Shu landed a hard punch on Shen Zeyu's face, causing everyone nearby to stare in shock and instinctively take two steps back.

"Whether Mom and Dad are here or not, I'm still your brother; who can you say you're being fair to like this?"

It's not only a betrayal of Shen Jiang's careful guidance, but also of the love Tian Xihua has poured into him, and of the money Shen Shu has spent on him over the years.

The frail Shen Zeyu stood no chance against the towering Shen Shu; without warning, a single punch sent him sprawling to the ground, a thin line of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Shu, however, showed no intention of stopping there; he couldn't act in front of Tian Xihua before, but now that no one is there to restrain him, he decided to make Shen Zeyu wake up with a single blow.

"Do you think our family is rich? Do you think you, like those rich playboys, can frivolously waste your time and money here?"

Xie Zian can be playful and even take jokes about being called a playboy, but he truly has the ability to make a name for himself without relying on his family's power or wealth.

Shen Shu, like iron that won't become steel, gritted his teeth at Shen Zeyu.

Shen Zeyu hasn't touched either of those, yet he has nonetheless developed a habit of indulgent decadence.

Shen Shu's gaze swept over everyone in the room; anyone who can survive in the casino is no saint, just a bunch of gamblers hoping for unearned gains.

With one hand, he hoisted the frail Shen Zeyu, meeting his own cold, ruthless stare.

"What else can you do besides fight?"

Even after being beaten, Shen Zeyu remained defiant, arrogantly shouting at Shen Shu.

Expressionless, Shen Shu carried him out, saying, "I can become the talk of the village, be someone else's child, and be a person you could never surpass in this lifetime. As for you, here you're destined only to rot and stink."

Shen Shu never intended to use his own achievements to provoke Shen Zeyu, yet this has become a thorn lodged between them.

Shen Zeyu didn't take this as motivation to improve; instead, he used it as an excuse for his decline.

He no longer felt the need to be polite.

"When you finally have the ability to earn money without spending to prove your existence, and become the pride your mother talks about, then you can come at me again."

The moment they stepped out of the casino doors, Shen Shu threw Shen Zeyu down hard, not even giving him a proper look, letting him fall to the ground.

Shen Shu considered himself to have done his utmost duty toward Shen Zeyu.

"I've already sent this month's living expenses to Mom; if you still want to keep splurging in the casino, be my guest, but from now on, stop using me as your excuse."

Shen Shu may sound harsh, but he still sends money to Tian Xihua on time each month.

If you must say something has changed, it's that the already fragile bond between them has completely withered away.

Now back in his suit, Shen Shu remains the refined secretary everyone knows, no one could have guessed what he just did.

Lei Ouna sobbed uncontrollably in the car, and the moment Divine Tree got into the vehicle, she lunged at it.

"Why are you arresting me? I haven't done anything wrong!"

She muttered under her breath, but her eyes showed unending terror.
