Source Of Calamity - Ch 1

The sun shone in from the glass windows, its golden light filling the room. Wine glasses and bottles lay fallen over on the scarlet carpet. A single vase that was full of flowers, which bloomed full of vigor and beauty, stood in the room. The vase was huge and beautiful, the exquisite ceramic vase etched with a light blue enchanting pattern.

The eyelids of the person lying behind the vase twitched slightly.

He was not wearing a single inch of fabric, his skin was delicate and smooth, and the sunlight shrouded him like a thin quilt, highlighting his short black hair with a warm glow.

From the perspective inside the house, only a pair of feet could be seen, which had round toes, that were slightly reddish, slightly arched insteps, and skin that was as white as jade.

There was even no need to have a clear view of his face to imagine just what a delicate porcelain figure he was.

The person opened his eyes and was a little dazed at first. His eyes were like pools of stagnant water, calm and still, but soon, his pupils dilated, as if he had encountered a major event of life and death, and it was not until a few minutes later that he returned to calmness.

Shen Zhen was still in disbelief, but he finally calmed down.

——He came back!

Back to the next morning of the banquet, back to when he was alive.

The clothes were scattered on the carpet next to him, and the shirt seemed to have been torn up. One could imagine how intense and passionate last night had been. Shen Zhen gave up on putting the rag-like shirt on again, and remained bare chested, simply wearing a suit jacket instead before standing up.

It just so happened that it was time for the servants to come in to clean up.

Several maids walked in together, and when they saw Shen Zhen, they all lowered their heads. Their faces were flushed with blood, as if blood would flow down in the next second, and fall to the ground along the path of their chins.

Bare chested but for a suit jacket thrown over it, Shen Zhen generously revealed a swath of ambiguous bruises and traces, which was enough to make people blush, and even imagine in their minds about which girl he had been with last night.

“Young Master Shen.” The butler ran over in a hurry. Seeing Shen Zhen’s appearance, he was nearly unable to keep his balance. He hurriedly stabilized his body and said hurriedly, “Second Young Master is leading people over here.”

Shen Zhen was already prepared.

Right now, in his last life, he somehow had a one night stand with another. The next day, he was caught naked by Second Brother Qin. He was both embarrassed and ashamed at the time, and he didn’t know how to face himself or how to face Big Brother Qin.

No matter what Second Brother Qin said, he could only answer yes with his head down, and then obediently left the Qin family manor.

Because he was “promiscuous” and “messing around” in the Qin family manor. This was modern society, and he was not allowed to “fool around” with the maids.

By the time he recovered his senses, he had already been sent away from the Qin family manor.

Now that he thought about it, all this was ridiculous.

Shen Zhen covered his eyes and chuckled lowly.

The butler looked at Shen Zhen with the gaze of one looking at a fool, was there something wrong with Young Master Shen’s head?

Second Young Master was the person who hated him the most in this family.

Shen Zhen and Eldest Young Master Qin had a very good relationship. The two grew up together, and could somewhat be considered childhood friends. They studied together, have common interests and hobbies, and have the same view on things.

Contrary to Second Young Master Qin.

Of course Second Young Master Qin was not happy to have someone sitting on his head, not to mention that this someone was more valued by the Qin family’s head, so his hatred even spread to Shen Zhen.

Especially Shen Zhen, whose surname was Shen, him standing next to Eldest Young Master Qin was equivalent to the entire Shen family standing beside Eldest Young Master Qin.

So he had to do everything possible to drive Shen Zhen away and break one of Qin Yue’s arms (TN: expression meaning to cut off a part of someone’s strength)

Unlike the second young master, the Eldest Young Master Qin Yue himself was a serious person, practically to the point that all the males in the Qin family castrated themselves, to not be a man but a robot or a machine instead.

Master Qin, the head of the Qin family, himself had no son, and was clearly training his nephew as his successor. The Qin family would belong to the Eldest Young Master in the future. Everyone knew to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So of course, whatever the Eldest Young Master said, everyone would follow without question.

Don’t even mention pretending that they’re robots without balls.

Even if they really had to castrate themselves, it was estimated that there were a lot of people vying to be the first eunuch to swing the knife.

Shen Zhen used to love this part about Big Brother Qin the most, but later he found out that Qin Yue was not “serious and disciplined”, he was just a late bloomer, and when he really met his true love, he would be more absurd than anyone else.

And the he who fell in love with Qin Yue was like a clown jumping on a beam. The higher he jumped, the more Qin Yue hated him.

Looking back on his past life now, it was a typical example of smashing a good deck of cards.

So what if Qin Yue didn’t like him? As long as he stayed at the Qin family, he was the Eldest Young Master of the Shen family. If he left the Qin family, his status as the Eldest Young Master of the Shen family would become completely worthless.

The butler nearly jumped in place in anxiousness.

However, Shen Zhen slowly stretched out his hands to smooth the wrinkles on his clothes, and smiled at the butler: “Did I mess around?”

The butler was angry: “You, this!”

He pointed to Shen Zhen’s exposed chest, and the red marks on it indicating what he had done last night.

Shen Zhen smiled: “Oh, I messed around.”

The butler almost fainted in anger.

The sound of footsteps appeared outside, slow and unhurried, very disciplined, and as soon as he heard it, he knew it was Second Young Master Qin Li and his subordinates.

Shen Zhen looked straight aheadbin the direction of the door.

A group of people walked in, but even if there were so many people, everyone’s eyes were focused on one person. As long as he was there, everyone else would be just the foil. He strode in, wearing a neat black suit that emphasized his wide shoulders and narrow waist. His eyes were dark and sharp, his lips were tightly pursed, his short black hair was combed back, revealing his forehead and indifferent eyes.

Qin Li, a man whose heart was higher than the sky.

“Shen Zhen.” Qin Li’s voice was deep, hoarse and sexy, no matter what he said, it was like he was murmuring the sweet nothings of a lover.

It was a pity that Shen Zhen didn’t eat this type anymore.

“Second Brother.” Standing in front of Qin Li, Shen Zhen didn’t seem to be ashamed of the marks on his body at all. Instead, he behaved generously. If the marks on his body weren’t so obvious, Qin Li wouldn’t even believe that he would do something like that last night.

Qin Li’s subordinates stopped five steps away from them, and the butler also stepped to the side. It was not their place to watch the show in the Qin family.

Qin Li stared at Shen Zhen, and he smiled slowly: “Who were you with last night?”

Shen Zhen didn’t lie: “I drank too much, I don’t know.”

Qin Li: “Oh? Was it a maid, or a lady from a certain family?”

Shen Zhen shrugged, and said very carelessly, “I don’t know, it might have been a maid or a young lady.”

Qin Li’s eyes were fixed on Shen Zhen, Shen Zhen raised his head and stared back at Qin Li with eyes like torches.

“You have to leave the Qin family.” Qin Li’s tone cooled.

This remark was expected by Shen Zhen. The strange thing was that he didn’t even feel like he was being expelled. He just asked curiously: “Why?”

“Ah Zhen can’t go!” A boy’s urgent plea suddenly appeared. The boy who was standing with his subordinates came over. He was wearing white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, a pair of sneakers, and his hair was slightly curly, slightly messy, with big and bright eyes, like a little prince in a fairy tale.

Like a little sun.

The feeling Su Shiqing gave to people was like the softness of a sheep. Everyone’s first impression when they saw him was that Su Shiqing was harmless. He was innocent and cute, but also held a hint of timidity. He needed someone to protect him. If no one would protect him then anyone could bully him.

Shen Zhen was also bewildered by Su Shiqing. When he saw Su Shiqing in his last life, and first came across Su Shiqing, he felt that Su Shiqing was quite pitiful, so he brought Su Shiqing from the Su family to the Qin family.

However, the expression “letting the wolf inside” was tailor-made for him. When Su Shiqing first came, Qin Yue had no interest in him.

But slowly, Su Shiqing replaced Shen Zhen.

He replaced Shen Zhen’s position in the Qin family and Shen Zhen’s position beside Qin Yue.

However, when Shen Zhen reacted and found that Su Shiqing’s “weakness” was his strength, and Su Shiqing’s “timidity” was his weapon, Shen Zhen was already completely defeated.

He could be in guard against all the ruthless and cruel people, and he could also try his best to check Qin Yue while loving Qin Yue, but he never thought that he should also be wary of a naturally weak person like Su Shiqing.

Su Shiqing used his “weakness” to make the Qin family stand on his side.

Su Shiqing looked at Qin Li timidly, and suddenly began to speak considerately for Qin Li again: “What if those young ladies have their parents come to the Qin family and help them get justice?”

Qin Li didn’t scold Su Shiqing or interrupt him, but looked at Shen Zhen quietly, he wanted Shen Zhen to leave by himself.

Although Su Shiqing now lived in the Qin family on behalf of the Su family, the Su family was too weak and Qin Li didn’t need to care about Su Shiqing’s words.

“Mr. Su.” Shen Zhen suddenly said, “This is a matter with my second brother and with the Qin family. We can solve it ourselves.”

Su Shiqing hurriedly waved his hand and said with a blushing face, “I-I don’t want to interfere in your affairs, I just hope that you don’t leave, Ah Zhen, last night may have been just a misunderstanding, Ah Zhen, tell Second Brother Qin, it was just a misunderstanding, and then it’ll all be fine.”

There were so many ambiguous marks on jis body, yet saying that it was a misunderstanding, who was he trying to deceive, the blind?

Shen Zhen suddenly broke out into a smile.

Shen Zhen often smiled, but most of his smiles were sneers, sly smiles, contemptuous smiles, and arrogant smiles.

He had never smiled like this before, seemingly very sincere, his eyebrows and eyes colored with the colors of spring, his lips slightly parted, revealing a little bit of white teeth.

Even Su Shiqing was stunned.

He knew that Shen Zhen was good-looking, but Shen Zhen was like a flower in a vase, and one that was actually made of ice. His beauty was egotistical, and for himself to see. Shen Zhen’s arrogance prevented him from making friends in the Qin family. He was completely alone, simply a “beautiful flower” that could be shattered with a touch.

Shen Zhen had never smiled like this before.

Shen Zhen looked at Qin Li, turning back into that piece of ice again, his tone was cold and his eyes were colder: “Second Brother, last night was a misunderstanding.”

Qin Li was also looking at Shen Zhen, his eyes were full of malice, he was still not completely a master of his expressions, so everything he felt was painted on his face: “Big Brother went abroad on Wednesday, after what happened last night, you think Big Brother will still protect you?”

So Shen Zhen shrugged at Su Shiqing: “Look, he doesn’t believe it.”

Su Shiqing began to tremble. His big, round eyes were instantly filled with tears. He was able to cry within a second, which was a unique skill, and he could cry with sincerity, so that no one could see any flaws. He cried to Qin Li: “Even if Ah Zhen did something wrong, Ah Zhen must know that he was wrong. Although those young ladies are also very pitiful, but…..”

Then he was unable to speak anymore and could only cry and shake in place.

When a beauty weeps, it was always able to inspure tenderness, regardless of gender.

Then Shen Zhen looked at Qin Li: “Second Brother, are you really going to drive me away?”

Qin Li pursed his lips tightly, his face going increasingly dark, which was a sign that he was going to get angry.

However, Shen Zhen’s next sentence made it impossible for his fire to burst out.

“If Second Brother could really drive me away, you wouldn’t come to me in person.”

“Second Brother, you are unable to do so.” Shen Zhen looked at Qin Li with a smile full of ridicule, “The Qin family’s Qin refers to Qin Xing’s Qin, not Qin Li’s Qin.”

“My Shen is not Shen Zhen’s Shen, but the Shen family’s Shen.”

“I’m going to Uncle Qin now and tell him that I slept with all the young ladies in those families last night. What do you think Uncle Qin will say?” Shen Zhen’s voice seemed to come from another world.

“Uncle will praise me for doing a good job, and then have those families send their daughters to me.”

Shen Zhen said: “Because I am more important than them.”

Su Shiqing was stunned.

He thought that after he had entered a wealthy family, he had already seen the world.

But he didn’t expect that Shen Zhen, who lived temporarily in the Qin family manor, would dare to say such words to Qin Li.

Shen Zhen spoke one last time: “Qin Li, are you sure you want to shed all pretense of cordiality with me now? After doing so, how are you going to conclude it?”

Qin Li’s hand clenched into a fist, and he said, “Get out of the way!”

The subordinates at the back made way for Shen Zhen, and no one dared to stop him.

Shen Zhen smiled and walked past.

Only he knew that this was an avenue to heaven.

AN: Shen Zhen (singing): “This is a magical road to heaven oh~ oh~”

This is a face-slapping dog blood novel. In the setting, Qin Xing is the big boss, and the Qin family is the most powerful family. There is a big gap with reality so it is best not to substitute it into reality. In this novel, the family unit is very important, and a good background means the right to speak outside.
