Chapter 19: Everything Under Control

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang outside, and Shi Yuke immediately stopped acting spoiled, emerging from her mother's embrace.

"Mom, it must be him. You must not tell Dad about my date with the Sheng Family Second Young Master," Shi Yuke instructed her mother.

Jiang Yadan agreed repeatedly: "I know, I know. Go quickly, don't keep him waiting."

When Shi Yuke appeared before Sheng Yukai, his eyes lit up; the look of amazement in his gaze was no less than when they first met, which made Shi Yuke very satisfied.

"Mr. Sheng, don't look at me like that, it's embarrassing." Shi Yuke lowered her head shyly, and only then did Sheng Yukai realize he had been acting inappropriately.

He hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was rude. I hope Miss Shi won't be angry."

As he spoke, Sheng Yukai opened the passenger door: "Miss Shi, please."

Sitting inside the brand-new Maybach, Shi Yuke's vanity was instantly satisfied to the greatest extent.

She had always believed that the most beautiful woman should ride in the most luxurious car, live in the most extravagant house, and wear the biggest brand-name jewelry!

All the psychological imbalance accumulated from visiting the fool a few days ago was released at this moment, and Shi Yuke felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Sheng Yukai took Shi Yuke to the best Western restaurant in Jiangzhou—Ginza Revolving Restaurant.

For today's date, he had specially booked the entire restaurant.

The vast, luxurious restaurant held only the two of them; a violinist played a romantic and beautiful melody by the table, and the table was set with bright red roses and gold-plated candlesticks, the candles on which emitted a warm, glowing light, creating an atmosphere that was both cozy and romantic.

A waiter opened a 1982 Lafite and poured it into a crystal decanter to breathe.

Immediately after, a line of waiters filed in carrying silver trays: Mediterranean Caviar, French foie gras, Australian lobster...

Sheng Yukai raised his glass to toast the beauty: "Miss Shi, I am very happy to be able to invite you to dinner, cheers!"

Shi Yuke raised her glass: "Cheers!" After taking a small sip, she set it down gently and glanced at him reproachfully: "Mr. Sheng, don't keep calling me Miss Shi, Miss Shi. Just call me Yuke."

"Alright, then you also don't call me Mr. Sheng, call me A Kai."

In the top-tier restaurant, with the best red wine and the most expensive dishes, the two began to chat happily, and gradually, they began to exchange amorous glances...

The top-floor office of Ginza.

Sheng Hanyu and Yun Zhe Hao sat on the sofa, and the large screen on the wall was playing the scene from the restaurant!

Sheng Yukai took out a gift he had prepared in advance, an exquisite diamond necklace, to give to Shi Yuke, but it was refused.

The refusal of the expensive gift did not make him unhappy; instead, it made Sheng Yukai feel that this woman was not only beautiful but also cultured and not greedy for money, so his impression of Shi Yuke became even better.

Under his repeated insistence, Shi Yuke "reluctantly" accepted the gift.

"Hey, Eldest Young Master Sheng, this sister-in-law of yours is no ordinary person. She plays this game of 'playing hard to get' well; Sheng Yukai's eyes are glowing when he looks at her..." Yun Zhe Hao commented with his legs crossed, a bystander seeing things clearly.

Shi Yuke's trick of playing hard to get might have fooled Sheng Yukai, but it did not fool the two people sitting in front of the surveillance video.

Enjoying the spectacle and not fearing trouble, Yun Zhe Hao asked: "Eldest Young Master Sheng, when do you plan to send someone to stir things up? I've already prepared the person; Yunyun from Yunding Nightclub. Last week Sheng Yukai said he wanted to book her for a whole year, so now is the perfect time to send her out."

It wasn't the first or second time Sheng Hanyu had stirred up Sheng Yukai's "good deeds," so this time Yun Zhe Hao naturally assumed he would intervene again.

Only this time he guessed wrong; Sheng Hanyu told him not to meddle and just watch the show!

Although he said to watch the show, he turned and instructed his subordinate: "Leak the fact that the two of them are on a date right now to the Chairman. Do it discreetly, don't let anyone find out it was us."

"Yes."

The subordinate agreed and left the room.

"That bastard is back?" Sheng Laoyezi looked at the rapidly falling numbers on the computer, his head aching.

But the secretary's answer gave him an even worse headache: "No, the Second Young Master's phone is off... but..." The secretary left the sentence half-finished and did not continue.

"But what? Speak."

The secretary gritted his teeth and informed him truthfully: "Someone saw the Second Young Master book the entire restaurant at Ginza to treat the eldest daughter of the Shi Family to dinner."

"That bastard, he wants to anger me to death early so he can seize the entire Sheng Family!" The Old Master was furious and ordered the secretary to take people to the restaurant immediately to drag Sheng Yukai back.

Sheng Hanyu stared at the video, watching Sheng Yukai being forcibly taken away by the Old Master's men, and also saw them lecture Shi Yuke.

It scared Shi Yuke until her face turned pale!

He picked up his sunglasses, put them on, and then stood up from the sofa to leave.

Yun Zhe Hao gossiped: "Eldest Young Master Sheng, are you going to the restaurant to play the hero saving the beauty?" It was no surprise he would ask this.

Originally, Shi Yuke was the blind date arranged by the Sheng Family Old Master for Sheng Hanyu, but the Shi Family played a trick, using a substitute to marry Sheng Hanyu in place of Shi Yuke.

Now that Shi Yuke was in her most embarrassed moment, Sheng Hanyu appearing at the right time would let her see that the Eldest Young Master was still the Eldest Young Master, and even a "blind man" was better than the superficially glorious Second Young Master, making her regret it!

However, Yun Zhe Hao guessed wrong. Sheng Hanyu took off his sunglasses, turned back, and looked at him with cold eyes: "Are you very free right now? Shall I consider telling your wife about the matter with Yunyun?"

Mentioning his wife, Yun Zhe Hao's expression changed immediately, but he still spoke stubbornly: "Yun, what does Yunyun have to do with me? Eldest Young Master Sheng, don't make false accusations. That woman is a dish on your second brother's plate; she has nothing to do with me."

Sheng Hanyu said unhurriedly: "You don't need to tell me these things; go say them in front of Yu Lanqi instead."

After speaking, he put his sunglasses back on and turned to leave, but his arm was grabbed by Yun Zhe Hao.

Yun Zhe Hao said hurriedly: "Eldest Young Master Sheng, don't go. I was just joking with you. If you don't like it, I won't do it again. Don't tell Lanqi about everything; she is currently preparing for pregnancy, and if she gets emotionally agitated and it affects my son, I'll fight you to the death."

Preparing for pregnancy is not the same as being pregnant.

There was an obvious loophole in Yun Zhe Hao's words, but Sheng Hanyu did not expose it; he was just trying to scare Yun Zhe Hao and didn't really want the couple to fight.

Of course, even if they really fought, Yun Zhe Hao would definitely not be a match!

"Let go, I'm going to find Grandfather."

"Really?" He still didn't believe it.

Sheng Hanyu shook off his arm: "If you don't believe me, follow along."

Sheng Family Mansion.

The hall was brightly lit, and the sofa was full of people, but it was deathly silent.

Sheng Jiang and his wife didn't even dare to breathe loudly, sitting on the sofa with their heads lowered and eyes submissive, as honest as children who had done something wrong!

Sheng Jiang is the eldest of the Sheng Family, and the Sheng Family should have been under his leadership, but Sheng Jiang is cowardly by nature, honest and timid; he neither stirs up trouble nor can he settle it.

Since he was a child, he had the temperament of mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall; after he grew up, the then-living Sheng Old Madam was afraid that marrying a strong-willed wife for her son would suppress him for a lifetime, so she brought Wang Yingzhi into the family—who was just as much mud that couldn't be plastered onto a wall!

Wang Yingzhi was even worse than Sheng Jiang; not only did she have no ideas of her own, but she was also a muddled woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

With such personalities, the couple somehow produced a negative-times-negative-equals-positive result and gave birth to Sheng Hanyu; fortunately, he was exactly like his grandfather in character and did not take after them.
