Chapter 651: Chapter 676: It’s him, it’s him
Jiang Shaobo’s face turned iron blue, and he said nothing for a long ti, his hands fiercely clenched into fists on the table.
Wu Youli watched him, terrified that a punch might end both her and Sheng Ning’s lives.
“You’re right, I’m indeed no match for these people,” Jiang Shaobo finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, but just as he was about to continue, the man who had been silent until now suddenly spoke up.
“Shaobo, you’re teasing the wrong person. This lady is Living Yama’s wife, it’d be better if you were polite.”
Sheng Ning and Jiang Shaobo both froze.
One in surprise, the other in fright.
“Are you kidding ? Did Living Yama save the People’s Republic of China in his past life? How is he so fortunate?” Jiang Shaobo wailed, but out of respect for Living Yama’s identity, he dared not continue his teasing and resignedly returned to his own table.
Sheng Ning still hadn’t recovered from the shock even after Jiang Shaobo had left. She looked terrified at the man who had just spoken; his voice slowly overlapped with that of the man she had encountered last ti in the woods at the Research Institute, eventually matching perfectly.
It was definitely him.
Sheng Ning trembled uncontrollably, her eyes finally making out the man’s job title. She was imnsely grateful for Su Huai’an’s actions toward Chen Huaying, thankfully, thankfully…
This man clearly wasn’t soone to ss with. If Chen Huaying had indeed discovered her relationship with Bai Tian’e, Chen Huaying would certainly have been in danger.
Sheng Ning’s mind was a ss, with various voices clamoring. She suddenly realized that she hadn’t recognized the man before, so she couldn’t match his voice, but Living Yama definitely could.
He had been in the rescue world longer than her, knew more people—how could he possibly not recognize this person? He was ng Fan’s good brother; he should have been the most angered, yet he hadn’t reacted at the scene. Could this man’s status be even equal to or greater than the ng Family’s?
Her odd behavior was unnoticed by others, but Shen Yu, who had been observing her, picked up on it. His mature, composed face showed no expression, but his eyes were filled with a brewing storm.
“Shen Yu, is it true? Is she Living Yama’s wife?”
“When did Living Yama get married? How co I didn’t know?”
“I had no idea either!”
“That’s really too much, not to even inform his brothers about his marriage.”
The other three individuals voiced their complaints with a sour expression until they realized that, since she was Living Yama’s wife, they should have called her elder sister-in-law or sister instead.
Although they didn’t tease her like Jiang Shaobo did, their unreservedly impolite stares had been too disrespectful. Embarrassed, they hung their heads, lacking even the courage to look at her once more.
So his na was Shen Yu; there were many people with the surna Shen. The Shen Family was a prominent, old clan. Their President was also surnad Shen; she wondered if he had any connection to this Shen Yu.
Racking her brains, she finally rembered sothing Shen Jianguo had ntioned in her past life. Their family was rely a branch of the Shen Family; the legitimate, powerful mbers were from the main line of the Shen Family.
He had a cousin who was extrely competent and the heir of the Shen Family; even ng Fan had to be very considerate when eting him.
Could it be this Shen Yu?
Sheng Ning forced herself to turn around and sit properly, not letting any oddity show through. During the wait for the dishes, she didn’t say a word. Shen Yu’s table had also remained silent, but she could constantly feel a pair of eyes incessantly watching her.
Finally, when the al was served and Shen Yu and his party had finished eating, he and Jiang Shaobo paid the bill and were the first to leave. The other three, with their heads still lowered in sha, quickly called her “sister-in-law” or “sister” and hurried out.
