Chapter 36: Are You Captivated By Your Husband?

Shao Bingheng lived in a villa on the eastern side of South Mountain. When Shao Chengxi and Shu Lin arrived, he was already in his study.

As soon as they sat down, Shao Bingheng, with a stern face, wasted no words and directly brought up the matter he had learned from Shao Yuanheng.

He had been holding back for so many days; it was time to settle accounts with this couple.

After Shao Bingheng finished speaking, he directly questioned:

“Chengxi, did you ever say that whenever Shu Lin is present, your elder brother must stay far away? Tell me, did you say that or not?”

Shao Chengxi’s face merely darkened slightly, showing no obvious emotional fluctuations.

Shu Lin’s expression was quite unpleasant.

Now he was completely sure that Shao Bingheng had a problem with him and was deliberately targeting him.

Shao Chengxi squeezed Shu Lin’s cold hand, narrowed his eyes, looked directly at Shao Bingheng, and sneered, “That’s right, I said it. Not only did I say it, but I also want him to do it.”

Shao Bingheng shifted his focus, “Shu Lin, I’m asking you, do you know about this?”

Shu Lin stiffly nodded, “I know, but…”

Shao Bingheng slammed the table, erupting in anger:

“You two are going too far! Chengxi, Yuanheng is your elder brother. Do you have to treat him like this?”

Having said that, Shao Bingheng’s gaze swept back and forth between the two people opposite him.

That night on New Year’s Eve in the study, the reason he didn’t directly expose this matter when facing Shao Tingrui’s questioning was that he had his own considerations and plans.

Today, he called these two people alone, not simply to seek justice for Shao Yuanheng as he claimed.

He wanted to use both soft and hard tactics to get Shu Lin to agree to provide pheromones for Shao Yuanheng to help cure his illness.

He couldn’t ignore Shao Yuanheng’s Pheromone Imbalance Disorder.

As a father, he couldn’t bear to watch his own son being tormented by illness.

Blood ties were what they were, he had to consider Shao Yuanheng’s well-being.

Shao Yuanheng’s condition affected him personally, and it would also affect their father and sons.

Shao Bingheng understood that this matter should not be made public if possible.

He couldn’t control the impact of going public.

He had to keep this matter within the smallest possible scope.

Only him, Shao Yuanheng, Shao Chengxi, and Shu Lin needed to know.

They were all family, the impact would be minimal, and it would be easier to control.

Shao Bingheng’s gaze fell on Shu Lin, secretly calculating.

He hadn’t expected the uses of a US-Class Omega’s pheromones to be so great.

Now he should be thankful that this child was only nineteen years old, naive, had an ordinary family background, and no powerful family to support him, making him easy to manipulate.

As long as Shao Chengxi didn’t object, he could apply constant pressure, and he was confident that he could get Shu Lin to compromise and agree to provide pheromones for Shao Yuanheng.

He had also asked Director Li, and this kind of treatment wouldn’t cause any substantial physical harm to Shu Lin.

Now, what was giving Shao Bingheng a headache was Shao Chengxi.

For an Alpha, allowing another Alpha to come into contact with his Omega’s pheromones was a great humiliation.

What’s more, Shao Chengxi was an S-Class Alpha.

It would be one thing if this was just jealousy between Alphas.

But Shao Yuanheng’s matter was different; it was for medical treatment.

He hoped that Shao Chengxi could recognize this point, prioritize the overall situation, not care too much, and not get caught up in a dead end.

Thinking of this, Shao Bingheng prepared himself to persuade Shao Chengxi next.

Meeting Shao Chengxi’s calm and cold gaze, Shao Bingheng suddenly felt uneasy.

He knew that this second son had always been very opinionated, and persuading him would probably not be easy.

But, for the sake of the big picture, he had to bite the bullet and try.

Finally, Shao Chengxi spoke: “Father asked me, do I have to treat my elder brother like this? I’ll give you a clear answer: yes, I do.”

His voice was as cold as the ice in a deep pool.

Shao Bingheng said, “Chengxi, don’t be too…”

“Father, please let me finish,” Shao Chengxi interrupted forcefully, “Originally, I promised Shu Lin to keep this a secret, but since elder brother is distorting the truth…”

He looked at Shu Lin, his eyes softening, “I’m sorry, I have to break my promise to you.”

After Shu Lin met his gaze for a moment, he twitched the corner of his mouth, “No need to apologize. Say it. In any case, I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“You didn’t. The one who did something wrong was my elder brother.”

Having said that, Shao Chengxi looked at Shao Bingheng again, speaking forcefully:

“Father, elder brother’s words are full of loopholes and suspicious points. I didn’t expect you to believe him. It seems you still don’t know me well enough, and I overestimated your judgment.”

“I’ll be blunt. The reason I don’t let elder brother near Shu Lin is because on the night the Shao family presented the betrothal gifts to Shu Lin, elder brother ran into my bedroom, attempting to assault Shu Lin.”

“If I hadn’t arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Shao Bingheng looked shocked, “What are you saying? How could… Chengxi, you can’t just say things like that.”

The turn of events was something he had never expected.

He didn’t believe it, he couldn’t believe it.

If that were true, then the nature of the matter would be completely different.

Shao Chengxi’s lips curled into a mocking smile:

“Father believes elder brother’s fabrications, but doesn’t believe me? I would never make up such a thing about my own Omega’s innocence.”

Shu Lin suddenly spoke, “Father, it’s true. Afterwards, elder brother wrote me a written apology. I’ll show it to you.”

Shao Chengxi had sent him electronic scans of these documents.

He placed the written apology and the equity transfer agreement signed by both parties in front of Shao Bingheng, and the two of them said nothing more.

Shao Bingheng looked at the contents, speechless.

Compared to Shao Yuanheng’s unsubstantiated statements, the evidence in front of him was more authentic.

He could be sure that the handwriting and fingerprints on it were Shao Yuanheng’s.

In addition, there was a lawyer’s verification.

There was no mistake.

After a long while, Shao Chengxi said:

“Father, I already gave elder brother a chance, and the facts prove that I was wrong. He really doesn’t have the qualifications to be the next successor of the Shao Group.”

He paused, “Father, it’s time to change the successor.”

Shao Bingheng suddenly looked up, “Chengxi, listen to me, don’t publicize this matter for now.”

Shao Chengxi: “Okay, as long as father cleanly and decisively gets rid of him, then only the four of us will know about this. But if father is indecisive, I will personally find grandfather and make this matter public.”

Shu Lin echoed, “I will also go to grandfather.”

Having said that, Shao Chengxi didn’t linger at all, got up, and led Shu Lin out of the study.

After leaving the villa gate, Shu Lin looked up at the sky.

The sun had already set, and it was about to get dark.

He exhaled a long breath and got into the car with Shao Chengxi.

He had thought that letting more people know about this matter would put a burden on his mind, but now it seemed that he had been worrying unnecessarily.

After speaking out, he actually felt more relaxed.

It seemed that the principle was still the same: it wasn’t his fault, so why should he, the victim, be so cautious?

As the car drove smoothly, Shu Lin looked at Shao Chengxi, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise, and his heart beat faster for no reason.

Sensing Shu Lin’s gaze, Shao Chengxi turned his head, and smiled at him: “What are you looking at? Are you captivated by your husband?”

The corners of Shu Lin’s raised mouth flattened in a second.

This person really can’t be handsome for more than three seconds.

The Alpha who was righteous and sternly confronting his father in the study was gone.

Shu Lin couldn’t help but make an exaggerated vomiting expression at him, “yue, so cheesy.”

This person was not only thick-skinned and cunning but also so narcissistic.

“What are you saying?” Shao Chengxi wasn’t happy after being told that.
