Chapter 88

Xiao Sheng's tone, with its ups and downs, instantly ignited the anger of Li Yuwan, who stood to the side. Watching Xiao Sheng about to leave, this overbearing Miss Li of the Li family shouted:

"Stop right there. What kind of attitude is that?" Hearing this cold response, Xiao Sheng, standing in place, sneered and shook his head. 'What kind of attitude is this?' Women, their ability to twist the facts is truly extraordinary! Without bothering to deal with this woman who seemed to have rabies, Xiao Sheng walked straight back to his room!

"You... you... Chen Shuyuan, who is he? Did you invite him? Fire him, fire him..." The sharp sound filled the entire courtyard. At this moment, Chen Shuyuan's face had already turned dark. Her repeated tolerance was only because the other party was her elder, and she didn't want to make her brother-in-law difficult. But now, she was simply unreasonable!

"I'm talking to you..." Li Yuwan, who wouldn't let go, had a rather haggard demeanor. How could this be the behavior of a well-bred lady? She was just like a nouveau riche girl.

"Aunt, please pay attention to your identity and image, and also the occasion..."

"Hmm? Haha, good, good, are you reminding me that this is in Gangcheng?" Chen Shuyuan, who had been pushed to the wall, forcibly suppressed her anger and muttered in response:

"Yes, this is in Gangcheng, not in Huai City..."

Just as Chen Shuyuan said this, Xiao Sheng, leaning against the threshold, licked his lips and muttered to himself:

"Domineering, that's the flavor..."

But this sentence made Li Yuwan extremely uncomfortable. She wished she could tear apart this so-called relative in front of her. Suddenly turning her head, she glared at her useless husband and shouted:

"Look, look at what kind of people your Tong family is. Ungrateful wolves, if it weren't for our Li family lending Tong Ling one million, would there be today's Huaxin..."

"Enough..." Chen Shuyuan, suddenly raising her voice, her expression had already turned dark, and she replied word by word:

"The one million your Li family lent to my mother has long been repaid, and with interest, one and a half million. I think, fifty thousand in interest per year, that's already a sky-high price anywhere..."

Chen Shuyuan's fierce rebuttal made Li Yuwan's face, which was red with anger, instantly turn ashen. Her body couldn't stop trembling. At this moment, Tong Tong was already in tears, shouting loudly:

"Both of you, shut up, why, why do you have to be like this..." Li Yuwan, who had completely lost control, ignoring her daughter's feelings, pulled her arm and got into the car. Tong Jiahua, who had been standing there at a loss, ran back to the car under Li Yuwan's scolding, glanced at Chen Shuyuan, and drove out of the Chen residence with a pained expression!

As the black Rolls-Royce left, the courtyard fell back into silence. Chen Shuyuan, standing there motionless, her body couldn't stop trembling. She extended her right hand to wipe away the tears that had inadvertently flowed from the corner of her eyes and walked into the living room with pride!

Originally, because there were guests at home, Wu Ma had personally gone out to buy groceries. Seeing no one in the hall, she was surprised and went to ask Xiao Sheng, who was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the evening breeze. When she learned that Tong Tong had been forcibly taken away by her family, this old woman 'hmm'ed and turned back. Clearly, Wu Ma knew the situation of this large family!

At dinner, Chen Shuyuan, who had only eaten a few bites before going upstairs, seemed extremely depressed. Looking at Chen Shuyuan's lonely back, the sentimental Wu Ma couldn't help but feel her eyes moisten. Wu Ma, who rarely mentioned the Chen family's private affairs, 'chattered' a lot when eating alone with Xiao Sheng. The Li family was powerful, and even when Chen Shuyuan's mother was at Huaxin, she remained so arrogant. The two families rarely interacted, especially after Chen Shuyuan's mother and father separated, the Li family became even more overbearing! From Wu Ma's words, Xiao Sheng could tell that Chen Shuyuan's father, Chen Shuguo, should have had a good family background. He had left home to marry Tong Ling, and logically, they were so in love, why would they choose to separate? He couldn't understand! The information provided to him didn't mention this at all!

After tidying up the house, Wu Ma, who rarely went upstairs, brought a bowl of ginseng soup to Chen Shuyuan. Clearly in a bad mood, Chen Shuyuan politely declined Wu Ma's kindness. Xiao Sheng, standing downstairs, smiled calmly, took the bowl of warm ginseng soup from Wu Ma, and said softly:

"Wu Ma, I'll do it..." Hearing this, Wu Ma nodded lightly and handed the ginseng soup to Xiao Sheng, giving a few more instructions.

Gently knocking on Chen Shuyuan's door, the tightly closed door creaked open. Chen Shuyuan, looking somewhat haggard but with a slightly rosy complexion, stood not far away. Xiao Sheng could also smell the faint scent of alcohol on her.

"This is the ginseng soup Wu Ma made for you. Even if you don't drink it, at least pretend to, don't make the elderly worry..." Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, nodding slightly. When she took the ginseng soup with both hands, she said:

"Thank you..."

Xiao Sheng found it hard to intervene in family matters. Just as he was about to turn around, Chen Shuyuan, standing in place, said softly:

"I'm sorry..."

"Hmm?"

"Today... my aunt..."

"It's fine, think positively, every family has its own troubles..." Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan smiled and nodded, but Xiao Sheng could see the bitterness and pain in her smile.

The two looked at each other for a long time, not knowing what else to say. Xiao Sheng, scratching his head, smiled calmly and said:

"Well, I'm going back to my room. Go to bed early, don't drink so much, it's really bad for your health..."

"Have a drink with me..."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Xiao Sheng's body suddenly tensed, and he quickly turned back.

"Aren't you afraid I'll do something wrong if I drink too much?" Chen Shuyuan, smiling, opened the door and replied:

"I know you're not that kind of person..." After saying this, Chen Shuyuan turned and walked back into her room, leaving Xiao Sheng, who was 'at a loss,' to ponder the true meaning of her words.

"Is she hinting that I'm not bold enough, or doubting my ability?" Regardless of the reason, Xiao Sheng, of course, wouldn't refuse the invitation from his beautiful boss. As he stepped into Chen Shuyuan's room, he reminded himself:

"Don't be a beast, you can do it..."

The open door was tightly closed again, and the man who had been standing at the door walked into her room...
