Chapter 58: His Appearance
Hence, she was most likely the same woman who “raped” him five years ago, gave him a lousy ring worth five bucks and escaped.
It had been five years, and the payback was long overdue.
Chu Wuyou showed no sign of stopping and walked past him.
Ye Lanchen pursed his lips and did not yell at her. The calmer she was, the more suspicious he felt toward her.
He was not anxious as he had already located his target. If she was indeed the same woman from five years ago and he behaved hastily, she might flee again.
Therefore, he decided to change his approach this time. He heard that boiling a frog slowly in warm water was a good idea.
In the hall, Chu Ninger saw Fifth Young Master Shen. Immediately, she got excited and, with an enthusiastic smile, she approached him. “Young Master Shen, you’re here, I…”
She put on what she believed was her most beautiful smile and spoke in her most delicate voice. With her qualities, she a.s.sumed Fifth Young Master Shen would consider her.
“You’re blocking my way.” Fifth Young Master Shen lifted his head and glanced at her as though he was looking at a pile of trash.
The crowd directed their gaze towards Fifth Young Master Shen when he made an abrupt appearance. Some people also felt envious when Chu Ninger approached him.
When Fifth Young Master Shen made that remark, everybody began to chuckle. A few women laughed loudly, too.
Chu Ninger felt fl.u.s.tered, desperately wanting to sink her head into a hole.
On the other hand, Fifth Young Master Shen ignored her and walked away. For a split-second, the crowd’s laughter became even more noticeable.
Chu Wuyou entered the hall and scanned it again. Still, she could not find the man she was looking for and felt a little disappointed. Still, her grandpa organized this banquet for her, and she could not leave so soon. With that, she took a seat at a corner.
A handful of men noticed Chu Wuyou sitting alone in the corner and wanted to greet her. A man who was near Chu Wuyou began to approach her.
After what happened just now, everybody was now aware that Chu Wuyou was no longer stupid. She was better-looking as well, especially her figure. No other woman in the hall could be more attractive than her.
Most importantly, Elder Chu had said that he wanted to hand over the Chu family’s inheritance to Chu Wuyou. As a result, this union was like a gigantic pie, with everyone wanting a share of it.
Fifth Young Master Shen was surprised to see Chu Wuyou entering the hall alone. Had Third Elder Brother left already?
It could not be. It did not seem like something Third Elder Brother would do.
Fifth Young Master Shen noticed that a few men had their sights set upon Chu Wuyou, his lips twitching violently. Presently, Chu Wuyou was still being targeted by Third Elder Brother, to think these men dared cozy her up. Were they insane?!
Fifth Young Master Shen thought to himself when Ye Lanchen entered.
“Come sit here, Third Elder Brother.” All of a sudden, Fifth Young Master Shen yelled.
The crowd was taken aback when they heard Fifth Young Master Shen’s yell. They turned their attention toward Ye Lanchen.
Why would Third Young Master Ye show up at this event?!
