The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 617: Future trouble for the Shen’s.

It was just so much money in one place, not physical money but wealthy people that owned that money. If somebody was seeking connections, this was the place to be as sad as what had brought them together was.

No wonder everyone had dressed to impress, they were looking at the big picture, life was going to go on even after Shen Xiaoping was pushed into the flames and cremated.

Tomorrow, it would be business as usual, Shen Xiaoping would fade into nothing but a memory.

Alix’s eyes traveled around and she also noticed all the helicopters and luxury vehicles being driven by valets, taken to assigned parking areas. Again, it was just way too much money, millions...or billions in one place.

"If i was a thief, this is the place i would be." her system smacked and cackled.

Alix had to agree, she would be the same, there was a lot of loot to pick up.

A woman came by and auntie Mo introduced Alix to her as a her daughter. After her, more came by, even Madam Qian that had recently come out of confinement after giving birth successfully.

Her two babies were in the care of two nannies and four bodyguards.

While they were standing and staring, all of the Tai’s that had come for the funeral joined them.

Immediately, grandpa Tai started to fuss because in his eyes, Alix had been standing for too long.

"We should find our seats, my granddaughter’s legs must be tired." Alix’s hands were both grabbed at the same time, one by her father and the other Caishen.

"Eh, young Zhang, are you sitting with us?" grandpa Tai seemed to be surprised to see Caishen with their group.

Since the sitting arrangement was designed according to families, he was supposed to be with the Zhang family.

Caishen nodded. "I go where my wife goes." he answered boldly.

Grandpa Tai snorted and walked forward, he didn’t want to be accused of forcing a couple to separate. He did think the Zhang fellow was really too clingy. Then again, his wife was pregnant so it was understandable.

The moment they sat down, more people started gravitating their way to greet Alix, especially those that were related to the bureau in any way. It made her feel quite awkward as they were on Shen family grounds and some of the members of their family were sending her unhappy glances, unhappy about her growing fame apparently.

"They are really not glad to see me." She whispered to Caishen.

"That’s their problem." he whispered back.

Another person came by to greet so they temporarily halted their whispering and planted smiles on their faces. It was not just Alix they were greeting, after her, they would move on to all of the Tai’s.

The number of business cards swapping hands was enormous, so much so that Alix realized why these wealthy people had come with assistants. Someone had to take all those cards for safe keeping.

"Do they really think i had something to do with his death?" she leaned over and asked Caishen.

"Probably."

The doubt would never be dispelled no matter what she did to clear her name, not unless she presented some form of evidence proving it was not her.

"Sister, that’s your friend Mantis’s father, right?" Ho Sun came closer and whispered to her.

Alix was sitting between Tai Ho Sun and Caishen, dividing her whispering between the two.

She had never seen Mantis’s father or Mantis in a dress and jewelry. The two were approached by Shen Mingyun, the son of the next patriarch as soon as he saw them. Rumor had it that he was interested in Mantis.

Alix and Caishen turned their head in the direction of Zhang Bo, he did not look too happy to see Mantis smiling at Mingyun.

"All those people fussing over the Shen family do not realize that it will soon not be the great family it used to be." Tai Ho Sun sighed.

His future news prediction system had already given him hints about this death and a few events that would follow.

Alix heard him and she turned her head curiously. Even her eyebrows could not help rising because she could not imagine what could cause the great Shen family to fall. Large conglomerates did not die just because the sitting chairman did. There had to be another reason. Was it her?

Shen Xiaoping had rejected her peaceful suggestion that he drop out of the race for world bureau president and endorse her for their greater good. He had been impolite with his language in his response, calling Alix a small system host that didn’t know what was good for her.

She would always remember him telling her not to try so hard to join the big boy’s club. It looked like he was not going to be a member of that club anymore. How funny life was!

Tai Ho Sun’s words, even though whispered, were heard by system hosts that were paying too much attention to Alix. Every action, every word, every smile and all that she did was being monitored.

"Host, you are being watched, keep in mind that some of the ears here are more than ordinary."

She put a finger to her mouth and shook her head. Then she sent him a text informing him that there were too many ears in that place. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"System, what have you noticed about the Shen family? What is different about them that’s going to affect their whole family?"

"Quiz: what changed your life?"

"Caishen." she answered automatically.

The blue elf glared at her so she covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You, of course i am aware that it’s you."

The answer was easy to guess, the life of the Shen family was going to be affected by the appearance of a new system host. Judging from the words of her brother, this extraordinary happy news would not be good for the Shen family and she wanted to know why.

Going by the most common criteria for one to become a system host she studied the members of the family including their spouses.

She eliminated them slowly until her eyes landed on Shen Biao’s husband. Alix recalled the day in the gallery when Shen Biao was humiliating her husband. He fit the criteria quite well like one of those protagonists in a novel that had been undermined by his wife’s family, cuckolded and mistreated. One good day, he gets a system and overturns life, raining arrows of misery down on the family of the horrible wife.

"Hmm, he fits the bill." she muttered to herself.

As she observed him further, she noticed the differences in him. He was acting subservient but there was a spring in his step, his skin looked better and his shoulders were more upright than when she saw him in the gallery. He even looked taller and more handsome.

What else caused such changes overnight apart from a system? Depending on what system he had received, the good days of the Shen family were really over. A change in the ranking of wealthy families was coming.

"Tsk, tsk, this is what they call reaping what you sow." she scoffed.

But, if that man was a system host, he was hiding it well from the Shen’s because even the bureau didn’t know about him yet. If Alix had to guess, she was the first to notice something.

Was he a good guy or another false god that was worshiping at the feet of Genesis and they had missed him?

"System, what kind of system does he have?"

She was most curious about it because to deal with the Shen’s and their power plus connections, a beast morphing system, beauty system, harem system and the like were not going to cut it. It had to be something special, devious even if she could say so.

She heard a light cackle and then received and answer. "A supreme scheming system."
