"I didn’t expect you to come back after all."
Shen Ming’s reaction was exactly as Shen Cheng had anticipated, still so calm, even recognizing her at first glance.
Back then, he was already a formidable figure, and now six years later, his tactics must have improved even more.
Looking at Shen Ming, Shen Cheng raised her eyebrows indifferently, "Of course you don’t want me to come back, my return threatens your position in the Shen Family, doesn’t it?"
Shen Ming’s gaze darkened, he hesitated for a second and then spoke, "Let’s talk somewhere else. If this escalates here, it won’t be good for anyone..."
Indeed, only a shrewd merchant would know to defuse a crisis in such a manner.
Unfortunately, Shen Cheng wasn’t planning to give him face: "What if things escalate? What if it benefits no one? Do you intend to hit me?"
Her words finally changed Shen Ming’s expression, but he didn’t reveal his emotions.
Looking at Shen Cheng, he spoke coldly, "This is a society governed by law, no one dares to defy the law blatantly. Hitting someone will have its consequences."
He seemed to say this intentionally for Shen Cheng to hear, obviously reminding her that she had just hit someone.
"Paying a price for hitting someone? Oh, I’m so scared," Shen Cheng mocked in a fragile tone, turning to the perfect man lazily leaning against the car, coquettishly asking, "Husband, what should I do if he’s threatening me?"
Shi Yu casually took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, took a deep breath, and then spoke leisurely, "Let his reputation and fortunes crumble."
Even in a tone neither too harsh nor too light, his words carried an air of unyielding authority.
He stood there leaning against the car, his posture proud, like an emperor looking down from above.
Shen Cheng had no doubts about his capability. If he said he could ruin Shen Ming, he wasn’t joking.
But if the game ended too easily just as it began, it wouldn’t be fun.
Thinking for a moment, she spoke up, "But he is the eldest son of the Shen Family! Do you know the Shen Family? It’s one of the top families in Jiang City!"
"Oh?" Shi Yu slowly blew a smoke ring, then curved his lips upward, "So impressive, I guess I can’t make him fall into disgrace then?"
"I don’t think you should, after all, the Shen Family has quite the reputation in Jiang City, and they have a lot of money! Just the car alone is worth over six hundred thousand!"
She emphasized the six hundred thousand heavily, not with any other purpose but to embarrass Shen Hua.
Hearing this, Shen Hua indeed could not hold back anymore, she reached out and tugged at Shen Ming’s sleeve, calling out with a hint of unease, "Brother, ..."
Shen Ming turned to look at her, gave her a look to remind her not to act rashly.
Shen Hua bit her lip and nodded without making a sound, her gaze flickering off Shen Cheng.
It was also then that she realized, the clothes on Shen Cheng were from one of the top ten brands in the world.
Just one shirt was worth a six-figure sum.
Shock, unease, all of it surged in her heart in an instant.
Seeing Shen Hua staring, Shen Cheng narrowed her dangerous eyes and glanced at her coolly, "What are you looking at? Do you feel so unworthy seeing such a perfect woman like me for the first time in your life, considering getting some adjustments done yourself?"
Those words made Shen Hua blush furiously, her face turning red to the roots of her neck.
Before Shi Yu appeared in this car worth more than twenty million, Shen Hua might have felt justified flaunting her wealth.
