章節 183: 183 Sister Rivalry_1

Shen Cong turned around and saw Bai Zi. His eyes glittered as he said, "Miss Bai!"

He no longer called her cousin!

He had been busy with things in Xishan these days, and currently he was wearing a thin long robe, his face showed haste. There were dark circles under his eyes, a sign of extreme fatigue.

It was clear that he had not been sleeping well for quite some time.

He no longer resembled his former handsome self, known as Ru Yu.

Yet, despite his current pitiful state, he displayed an aloofness and indifference towards Bai Zi, a stark contrast to his former self. In the past he would meet her with shining eyes, wishing to gather all the best things in the world for her.

As it happens, he was banished from home because he had colluded with Su Luo to plot against Shen Liang. Bai Zi, with her past understanding of Shen Cong, felt that there was more to it. However, as human hearts are separated by flesh, the desire for power may have twisted his character.
