Chapter 157: Bai Xue is Taken Away as a Mental Patient
Sheng Yukai lost all face and turned to leave.
Shi Yuke did not leave.
This banquet was originally meant to announce something important today; it was just as well that he left, as it saved the trouble of a scene breaking out on the spot, which would have been difficult to resolve.
The disturbance caused by Sheng Yukai passed quickly, and when the banquet reached its liveliest point, the host suddenly stepped out and said there was an important matter to announce.
The President of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce had changed; originally, the Chamber of Commerce President was Sheng Laoyezi, and after the old man passed away, Sheng Yukai was to succeed him. Since the term was ending soon anyway, no one risked offending him.
As it turned out, after taking the stage, he didn't do any good deeds, but instead used the title of "President" to settle personal scores and attack Sheng Hanyu.
Everyone followed him without gaining any benefits and only ended up suffering the consequences; everyone was filled with anger!
The term-end election took place just two days ago, and Sheng Hanyu was elected as the new President of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce by a unanimous vote. Shi Yuke of the Sheng Family was the representative, so the three members of the Sheng Family were kept in the dark about this and did not know.
The host announced that Sheng Hanyu was the new President of Jiangzhou, and Bai Xue immediately started making trouble!
"I object."
She rushed onto the stage and loudly questioned the host about what kind of event this banquet was.
Who agreed to let Sheng Hanyu be the Chamber of Commerce President?
Bai Xue was too agitated; besides questioning, she also said many things that should not have been said on such an occasion.
People below talked over one another, telling her that he was elected and that everyone had agreed, even their own daughter-in-law, Vice Chairperson Shi Yuke, had cast a vote in favor.
Bai Xue lost face on stage, and after coming down, she wanted to settle the score with Shi Yuke.
Before she could find Shi Yuke, several people in white coats suddenly entered from outside and forcibly carried Bai Xue away toward the exit. No one stopped them except for Sheng Hai. These people produced identification—they were doctors from a psychiatric hospital.
They said they had received a report from a family member and had come to take the person away!
Sheng Hai and Shi Yuke were both there, but only Sheng Yukai was absent, so everyone naturally assumed that Sheng Yukai had made the report.
Bai Xue screamed and refused to go, but the doctors in white coats forcibly took her away. Sheng Hai originally wanted to stop them, but a crowd blocked him, telling him to call Sheng Yukai first.
If he rushed up like that, he might just be taken away as a patient too.
Bai Xue was taken away by the people from the psychiatric hospital, and Sheng Hai dialed the phone, but the phone was turned off and could not be reached at all.
Shi Yuke said to him, "Father, you should go back and check. A Kai left on his own just now, and I am worried about him too. I will go back after the banquet ends; we cannot have no one from our family here."
Her little scheme could not escape Sheng Hai's eyes, but he also knew that Shi Yuke's wings were strong now, and he could not control her at all.
There were too many chaotic things happening today; let her do as she pleased.
Sheng Hai went back alone, while Shi Yuke continued to mingle among the crowd, chatting and laughing as if nothing that had just happened had anything to do with her.
Jiang Siwei walked over with a drink: "Big cousin, do you think I still have a chance?" She had arrived late due to traffic and missed the exciting parts, but fortunately, she didn't care.
Her invitation was given by Shi Yuke; Shi Yuke let Jiang Siwei come just to annoy Shi Youxuan. As long as Shi Youxuan was unhappy, she felt happy.
"You have to try; how would you know if it works without trying?" Shi Yuke smiled enigmatically.
Jiang Siwei hugged her: "Cousin, you are so good. You are better to me than my own sister; I simply love you to death..."
The chubby Jiang Siwei was only 1.5 meters tall, and her weight had soared to 160 jin. Even so, she had a near-obsessive love for gourmet food. When she hugged Shi Yuke, she smelled of sweet cream.
"Get off, stay away from me." Shi Yuke was about to be angered to death. She was wearing Chanel limited-edition perfume today, of which there were only three bottles in the whole world!
The scent was fresh and elegant, faintly discernible and charming, but now it was all ruined by Jiang Siwei's hug.
Jiang Siwei didn't notice at all that she was being loathed by her cousin; she let go and lunged toward Sheng Hanyu like a ball.
"Young Master Sheng, do you still remember me?" Jiang Siwei went against her previous enthusiasm and stood in front of Sheng Hanyu like a girl in love!
Sheng Hanyu glanced at her—no impression!
However, this girl was as fat as a round ball, yet she insisted on wearing a pale yellow long dress and styling her hair in a fluffy way, looking quite comical.
So he smiled slightly, and that was it.
Jiang Siwei was so happy she was about to faint; Sheng Hanyu was smiling at her, smiling only at her!
Was this falling in love with her?
It must be.
Jiang Siwei had a mysterious confidence and wild imagination. Sheng Hanyu only smiled at her, and her brain had already spun many times.
She thought she should take the initiative to confess.
After she confessed, Sheng Hanyu would divorce Shi Youxuan. Shi Youxuan was too bad, actually pretending to be stupid for so many years; she was too scheming and had a bad heart. She wasn't worthy of Sheng Hanyu; only she herself was worthy.
Jiang Siwei was a woman of action; she had to do it as soon as she thought of it!
She took a few deep breaths to calm down, tidied her dress a little, and then looked at Sheng Hanyu with firm eyes to confess: "Young Master Sheng, I like you. I have liked you for a long time. I don't care that you are divorced; divorce her and marry me. I promise I will be good to you for the rest of my life." She was naturally loud, and many people heard this shout.
The hall went quiet instantly. People looked over in astonishment, and those with extra curiosity simply walked closer to watch the show.
She didn't notice others' changes or expressions at all, just stared at Sheng Hanyu with hopeful eyes, waiting for his agreement.
Sheng Hanyu didn't speak, but the smile on his face deepened, giving the impression that he wanted to laugh out loud but couldn't and was holding it in!
"You're smiling, so that means you agree? Husband, I love you!"
Jiang Siwei was ecstatic. She opened her arms and lunged at Sheng Hanyu regardless of everything... He dodged to the side, and the ball-like woman used too much force; by the time she realized she had missed and wanted to adjust, it was too late—"Thump!"
This loud sound made even the onlookers feel the pain.
Jiang Siwei lay flat on the ground, struggled twice without getting up, and started crying out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch."
"Oh my god, I've fallen to death, sob, sob, sob... I won't have fallen and become ugly, will I? Who has a mirror to lend me? If I'm ruined, will Young Master Sheng dislike me?"
"Hahahahaha..."
Laughter erupted all around, and it was long-lasting and endless.
Someone squatted in front of her and thoughtfully placed a small mirror above her head: "Take a look, your face isn't ruined at all, but that won't stop Young Master Sheng from disliking you!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Everyone's laughter was even louder than before, and people started making sarcastic remarks.
"It's not your face that's ruined, it's your brain. Is your brain flooded? Look at what you look like; you don't know your own limits."
"Exactly, what do you have that could make Young Master Sheng like you? No figure, no looks, no family background..."
This person was interrupted by someone else halfway through speaking.
"Everything you're saying is useless; that couple is a perfect match of talent and beauty, so why would he ever take a fancy to her?"
"Ugly people are always up to no good; she's ugly and has a wicked heart, so why would a loving couple divorce just to marry her? She's really dreaming."
"Exactly."
The crowd chattered away, and even though Jiang Siwei had a thick skin, she still blushed.
