Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Power of Life and Death, Entrusted to Ye Shu’s Hands
The atmosphere, which had started to relax, suddenly became completely rigid again.
Everyone held their breath, afraid to make a sound.
Even the reporters, who were incessantly pressing their camera shutters, seemed as if they had been enchanted, all pausing their actions and turning to pay their respects to Sheng Shaochen.
Bai Xue’s falsely cheerful expression froze, and she awkwardly looked at Bai Yueru.
Bai Yueru sighed lightly, patted Bai Xue’s hand, and then looked in Sheng Shaochen’s direction, “Shaochen, after all, today is a joyful day for your cousin Zuo Cheng and Xinyu. Let’s show some leniency…”
“Yes, yes, Shaochen, we are still family after all. Let’s just let this go. I’ll make sure to properly educate my daughter-in-law…” Bai Xue also took the opportunity to plead for Ye Xinyu.
Sheng Shaochen, as if he hadn’t heard, indifferently walked toward Ye Shu.
Bodyguards cleared the way in front, and all the women instinctively stepped aside.
Ye Xinyu and Bai Xue had no choice but to make way, and even Bai Yueru consciously stepped back a few steps.
Only Ye Shu stood still, her eyes shining brightly, welcoming her Mr. Sheng.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Sheng Shaochen directly reached out and pulled Ye Shu into his embrace.
Everyone was stunned and could not help but exclaim.
What did they see? Mr. Sheng of Jin City, rumored to have a phobia of women, was actually able to physically contact Ye Shu, a woman?
At that moment, the scene exploded into chaos.
And before they could recover, Sheng Shaochen’s voice rose again, “My dear, what do you think?”
Sheng Shaochen’s tone was ridiculously gentle, his proud nose affectionately nuzzling against Ye Shu’s dainty nose, easily handing over the power of life and death to Ye Shu.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Ye Shu.
Ye Xinyu’s face rapidly paled, her lips tightly pressed, her gaze fixed on Ye Shu as her eyes reddened with shame and anger.
Amid the attention of the crowd, Ye Shu elegantly spoke, “As the aunt said, since today is a great day for both Gu and Ye families, Ah Chen and I came here to extend our congratulations, and we have no intention of embarrassing anyone. How about this – let Ye Xinyu publicly apologize?”
Ye Xinyu paled with fury, her eyes red with anger.
That damn Ye Shu, making her apologize publicly, especially in front of so many reporters, wasn’t this meant to embarrass her?
As a popular actress, apologizing on camera was tantamount to self-destruction of her image!
Ye Shu knew that this would bring her great negative impact, yet she still pretended to be understanding and reasonable, stabbing her with a knife, truly detestable!
Furious, Ye Xinyu turned to leave but was grabbed by Ye Shengli, who scolded her in a low voice, “What are you waiting for? Apologize now!”
“Dad, I…” Ye Xinyu’s voice faltered as she saw Sheng Shaochen’s sharp gaze glaring ominously her way, causing her to shudder.
As Ye Shengli urged her again, she reluctantly said, “Cousin, I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have believed Guan Zhizhi’s words and spoken harshly to you. I hope you can forgive me this once, considering we are cousins…”
The reporters quickly pressed the shutters, capturing the scene in its entirety.
They just waited to return and edit the footage before pushing it onto tomorrow’s entertainment headlines!
Ye Xinyu was so embarrassed she wished she could just disappear.
“Ye Xinyu, you still don’t understand, you shouldn’t be apologizing to me, but to the designer of this dress, Master Franse, as well as all the guests here. You not only insulted the master’s artistic soul but also everyone’s intelligence. So, you really should sincerely apologize to everyone, don’t you think?”
Ye Shu gently nestled in Sheng Shaochen’s embrace, her face always carrying an elegant smile, her words polite and winning everyone’s hearts.
