Chapter 155: Driven Out of the House

Shen Mingxuan was seething with rage today, nearly going insane as he shouted, “Who do you think you are to stop me?”

The security guard sneered dismissively, “And who are you? Without Miss Jiang, you’re just an unpresentable illegitimate child.”

Shen Mingxuan, who usually held himself high and looked down on others, was now treated as nothing but trash.

Furious, Shen Mingxuan threw a punch, but the security guard, unaccustomed to being challenged, kicked him away. Shen Mingxuan was sent flying.

“How dare you kick me! You’ll pay for this, and I won’t let you off easily!” Shen Mingxuan roared.

Just then, a group of black-clad bodyguards arrived. Shen Mingxuan recognized them as Old Master Shen’s personal guards.

If they were Shen’s father’s bodyguards, Shen Mingxuan would have definitely called on them to teach the insolent security guard a lesson. However, since they were Old Master Shen’s men, Shen Mingxuan recoiled, not daring to make a sound.

The security guard watched Shen Mingxuan limp away, a mocking smile on his face. It was quite satisfying!

Upon reaching the ancestral hall of the Shen family, Shen Mingxuan felt a pang of fear.

“Bodyguard, did we come to the wrong place?”

Before he could finish, the leading bodyguard pushed him roughly into the hall.

Shen Mingxuan stumbled inside and was immediately struck by a chilling cold.

He looked up to see Old Master Shen seated in the main position, surrounded by several other Shen family elders.

Shen Mingxuan cast a pleading glance at his father. “Dad.”

Even though he was his son, Shen Mingxuan’s father was about to speak when Old Master Shen heavily struck his shoulder with his cane. “Dare to plead? I’ll expel you from the Shen family as well!”

Hearing this, Shen Mingxuan’s father immediately fell silent. No matter how important his son was, it was nothing compared to his own power and status.

Old Master Shen then fixed his gaze on Shen Mingxuan and barked, “Wretched son, kneel!”

Shen Mingxuan was confused. “Grandpa?”

Old Master Shen didn’t give him a chance to speak and signaled the bodyguards behind him. Instantly, several bodyguards kicked Shen Mingxuan’s knees.

The pain was excruciating, like his bones were breaking, and he collapsed to the ground. “Grandpa!”

“Shut up. I have no such wretched grandsons. Shen Mingxuan, I thought you understood that you became the eldest young master of the Shen family because of the Jiang family connection. But you’re so foolish to give up Jiang’s eldest daughter for some insignificant star. Fool!”

Shen Mingxuan felt humiliated but knew his only chance was to cling to the Shen family. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I made a mistake. I will win Jiang Mi back. She likes me the most, and if I pursue her, she will definitely agree.”

“Fool!” Old Master Shen roared. “You want to compete with Gu Chuan for her? Are you intent on ruining the Shen family? Enough. From now on, you’re removed from the family register and expelled from the Shen family!”

Shen Mingxuan was stunned and horrified. “Grandpa, Grandpa, my blood is Shen family blood. I am a Shen family member and always will be. You can’t drive me out!”

Despite Shen Mingxuan’s desperate cries, he was thoroughly thrown out of the Shen family mansion by the black-clad bodyguards.

Inside the ancestral hall, Old Master Shen was now speaking to someone on the phone, his face full of ingratiation.

“Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, Shen Mingxuan has been expelled from the Shen family. He is no longer connected to us. Please, show mercy and spare the Shen family this time…”

The response was only a series of cold, dismissive beeps.

Jiang Mi listened to Old Master Shen’s description over the phone and clicked her tongue, “As expected from a business family, they’re willing to discard their own flesh and blood for their interests.”

Gu Chuan’s voice was icy, “That’s precisely why they’re falling apart.”

Jiang Mi smiled, “Indeed. Let’s go visit our newly expelled friend.”

As they were leaving the Shen family home, they originally planned to drive back, but Shen Mingxuan’s car had also been confiscated by the Shen family.

With no other options, Shen Mingxuan had to descend the hill to catch a taxi. When he reached the foot of the hill and joined the crowd waiting for a ride, he overheard a group of girls chatting.

“Shen Mingxuan is really disgusting. He’s been a kept man since he was little, and now he’s still eating soft rice with a tough attitude.”

“Yeah, call him Shen Xu. He looked decent in his fitness videos, but turns out he’s all show and no substance.”

“Hey, look, doesn’t that person look like Shen Xu?”

“Ha ha ha, no way. But if it were really him, I’d love to go over and beat him up. Scum like him deserves to be taught a lesson!”

Shen Mingxuan kept his head down, pulling his coat tighter around himself as he moved towards a less crowded area.

Suddenly, a discreetly luxurious Rolls-Royce stopped in front of him.

He looked up to see the gleaming car’s body, which reflected his dirty and disheveled state.

As he tried to move away, the window rolled down, revealing Jiang Mi’s beautiful and elegant face.

Shen Mingxuan froze, his entire body rigid. The next moment, he lowered his head and turned to run. Being seen in such a state by his enemy was more humiliating than death itself.

At just the right moment, Jiang Mi’s lazy voice called out, “Shen Xu, stop.”

An intense hatred surged within him.

All this was Jiang Mi’s fault. If Jiang Mi had continued to be his sycophant, she wouldn’t have met Gu Chuan, and his bribery wouldn’t have been exposed. He wouldn’t have been expelled from the Shen family.

It was all Jiang Mi’s fault!

With a look full of resentment, Shen Mingxuan glared at Jiang Mi, “This is all your doing, Jiang Mi. I will expose your malicious actions to the media!”

Jiang Mi didn’t take his threats seriously at all. Instead, she deliberately leaned towards Gu Chuan, feigning a pitiful tone, “Gu Chuan, look how he’s threatening me. I’m so scared.”

Gu Chuan followed along, “Then I’ll take care of it for you.”

Jiang Mi’s voice became even softer and more charming, “Okay. But he’s really awful. He’s the one who got himself entangled, yet he blames me. It seems he still doesn’t realize his own mistakes.”

Gu Chuan laughed quietly, sounding like a tyrant playing with fire, “Alright, as you say.”

Jiang Mi’s eyes narrowed dangerously, her gaze cold and terrifying, “Then I’ll give you one final gift. Off to prison to reflect on your mistakes forever.”

A sudden ominous premonition surged within Shen Mingxuan. He wanted to ask more, but the car window was already slowly rolling up, and the discreetly luxurious Rolls-Royce began to merge into the traffic.

Shen Mingxuan, full of dread, wondered what Jiang Mi meant by sending him to prison. Could it be…
