Chapter 17: Stunning at First Sight

Yuke Shi felt the man looked a bit familiar, but for a moment she couldn't think of who he was.

"Yes, I am Yuke Shi, and you are..."

Although she didn't know who the man was and didn't recognize him, she still smiled, extending her delicate, onion-white fingers to shake his hand lightly.

Polite yet reserved.

The man's full set of designer suit and watch worth millions, along with the latest model Maybach behind him, all indicated that this man was either wealthy or noble, or both.

The man extended an invitation: "Is Miss Shi heading back? I wonder if I might have the honor of giving you a ride?" As he spoke, he opened the door of the Maybach.

She smiled demurely and declined: "Thank you, I have a car. See you later." She pulled open her car door and sat inside, then gently reminded her cousin, who was still acting infatuated: "Siwei, get in the car; we are heading back."

"Oh, coming." Jiang Siwei was unwilling, looking back every step of the way as she shuffled slowly toward the car, completely failing to notice her cousin and the strange man exchanging glances.

"Miss Shi, could I borrow your phone for a moment? I can't find my own, and I want to call it to see where I left it," the man said.

From the first moment he saw Yuke Shi, his eyes had been fixed on her without wavering—it was love at first sight.

Yuke Shi could tell this was an obvious pick-up attempt; although her target until now had only been Yining Jian, having an extra option was still a good thing.

So she handed over her phone: "Of course."

The man took the phone and dialed his own number, the ringtone sounded on his person, and then he handed it back: "Thank you, Miss Shi. Look at my memory, it was right in my pocket and I didn't even find it."

"You're welcome."

Yuke Shi smiled demurely, almost dazzling the man.

Only when the Shi Family's car was nowhere to be seen did Yukai Sheng reluctantly withdraw his gaze and walk toward the Villa.

"You are not welcome here, get out—" Hanyu Sheng's face was as cold as ice as he issued a direct order to leave.

Yukai Sheng not only didn't leave, but sat down brazenly on the sofa: "Don't worry, I'm not here to fight you for the fool, you don't need to be nervous."

He truly had no interest in Youxuan Shi; he had seen her at the entrance of the Shi Family that day, looking like a mud monkey with a dirty face, and she was a fool besides—Yukai Sheng was not interested.

He had come this time specifically to mock Hanyu Sheng and make things unpleasant for him!

"Big brother, I really feel it's not worth it for you."

Yukai Sheng said hypocritically: "Even though you are blind and can't see, you are still the Eldest Young Master of our Sheng Family. With the Sheng Family's name, you don't need to degrade yourself by marrying a fool..."

"None of your business, get out now!"

Hanyu Sheng issued the order to leave once again.

"Tell me to get out? On what grounds?"

Having been rudely driven away twice in a row, Yukai Sheng even forgot the purpose of his visit and began to complain indignantly: "For so many years I have worked early and late for the Sheng Family, earning money to provide you, this blind man, with good food, drink, and housing, and you tell me to get out?"

"Do you believe I'll kick you out and let you go beg on the streets, huh?"

He widened his eyes and gestured wildly, but he was merely trying to intimidate.

The old man still called the shots in the Sheng Family; if Yukai Sheng had the ability, he would have done it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

The two were at daggers drawn, and Hanyu Sheng, not wanting to waste words with him, was just about to call someone to throw him out when Youxuan Shi came down the stairs holding a teddy bear!

She rubbed her stomach aggrievedly: "I'm so hungry, why haven't we started eating yet when it's already past mealtime?"

The voice that suddenly rang out on the stairs was gentle and clear. Yukai Sheng couldn't help but look up, but ended up staring fixedly at Youxuan Shi's face without blinking, his mouth almost drooling!

If he had previously thought Yuke Shi was the greatest beauty in Jiangzhou, his perception was now refreshed once again; the woman on the stairs was far more beautiful than Yuke Shi.

There are many "beauties" in society today, but because plastic surgery technology is so advanced, many have the same "plastic face," which is off-putting at a single glance.

This woman's skin was fair and delicate, and her beauty went without saying, especially her eyes, which were as pure as if one could see to the bottom at a single glance—pure and beautiful.

Youxuan Shi wasn't wearing any makeup, yet just her plain face left Yukai Sheng mesmerized.

He stared at Youxuan Shi infatuatedly, completely failing to notice that Hanyu Sheng's complexion was so dark it could have dripped ink.

Youxuan Shi came down the stairs, and Yukai Sheng wanted to greet her: "You are..."

But Hanyu Sheng blocked him, taking the lead; he pulled the woman into his arms and protected her tightly: "Let's go, I'll go eat with you."

"What about the guest? Should we invite the guest to eat with us?" Youxuan Shi blinked her large eyes twice.

"Don't worry about him."

"Oh, then let's go eat, Xuanxuan is so hungry."

The two went back and forth, looking just like a loving couple.

Yukai Sheng blocked their path, thick-skinned: "Big brother, is she my sister-in-law? I came from so far away, you wouldn't be so stingy as to not even offer a meal, would you?"

"I would!"

Though rejected without mercy, Yukai Sheng was not annoyed in the slightest.

He shamelessly tried to get close to Youxuan Shi: "Beauty, we've met before, do you remember..." Just as he leaned in, Hanyu Sheng suddenly struck his nose bridge with a punch—"Ouch!"

A sharp pain followed, and Yukai Sheng instinctively covered his nose with his hand, scarlet blood flowing through his fingers.

"You actually hit me?" He was furious with shame and raised his fist to strike back...

"It hurts, ouch, let go, it hurts!"

Before his raised fist could land, his wrist was tightly gripped behind his back by a bodyguard.

"Throw him out, and don't let him in again," Hanyu Sheng ordered the bodyguard.

Yukai Sheng was driven out of the Villa by the bodyguard, but he didn't go far, instead wandering around the front and back of the house for a long time before leaving!

After the meal, in the Study.

Hanyu Sheng stood by the window, watching Yukai Sheng's flashy Maybach drive away, his brows tightly furrowed the whole time.

The housekeeper asked tentatively: "Eldest Young Master, it might be better to tell the old man about this..."

"Do not speak of it."

He interrupted the housekeeper; this was a matter between him and Yukai Sheng, and he would resolve it himself.

"Yes."

The butler agreed and left; the Hallucinogenic Pen in his hand snapped into two pieces.

Sheng Hanyu took out his phone and called Yun Zhe Hao: "A Hao, contact Jian Yining immediately. Tell him that as long as he can make the Sheng Family's stock hit the daily limit down for three consecutive days, we will agree to cooperate with him."

There was a full silence of several seconds on the other end before Yun Zhe Hao tentatively asked: "Eldest Young Master Sheng, are you sure this is the result of your careful consideration? How about I wait for you a while? It's not too late to decide after you've thought it through..."

Sheng Hanyu founded Dingsheng to keep the Sheng Family Group in check; on the surface, he owns half of the Sheng Family's shares, but in reality, Sheng Yukai is currently in control of everything.

However, although he actually controls the Sheng Family Group, there is still the old master to keep him in check; Sheng Yukai only dares to secretly line his own pockets, and he still cannot brazenly encroach upon the equity.

Therefore, although Sheng Hanyu doing this can strike at Sheng Yukai, the loss to himself is even greater.

It is basically inflicting one thousand damage on the enemy while destroying three thousand of one's own.

They are businessmen, and businessmen never engage in losing trades; what he is doing is not only not cost-effective, but a massive loss.

"Cut the crap, just make the call if I tell you to." — Sheng Hanyu's attitude is the classic "money can't buy my willingness"!

Yun Zhe Hao still did not agree immediately: "Does Ze Rong know about this?"

"I will tell him."

"Alright."

Sheng Hanyu hung up the phone and called Sheng Zerong, not to discuss, but to notify: "I am going to make a move against Sheng Yukai; I'm letting you know."
