The Shen family, inside the tea room.
Shen Qingning was initially in a bad mood, but upon seeing Shen Minglang's face at that moment, the image of that man immediately surfaced in her mind.
As clever as she was, she instantly guessed that her brother had picked up some slick talk from him.
Which amused and exasperated Ningning somewhat.
Shen Minglang, put away your tricks!
You're going to get yourself killed!
When Shen Guoqiang heard that brat utter "So what," he slightly forcefully placed his tea cup down on the table, producing a "snap—"
The sound wasn't particularly loud, and Shen Guoqiang didn't dramatically slam the tea cup onto the table.
Even so, Shen Minglang almost reflexively jumped out of his chair.
Memories from his childhood and rebellious teenage years involuntarily sprang to mind.
His room had three framed calligraphy writings on the wall.
They contained phrases like "Keep your feet on the ground."
