Chapter 61: Those Wishing to Marry In Are Breaking Down the Threshold

"Pfft—"

A mouthful of tea just swallowed was sprayed out entirely, Sheng Yukai's eyes widened into circles: "Sheng Hanyu isn't dead?"

Once the fire started, he and that person left the residential complex, then hurried to the airport without stopping, sent the person onto the plane, and only after watching the plane take off did he rush back, so he hadn't seen the news in the papers yet.

Bai Xue said dejectedly: "Not only is he not dead, but he didn't even lose a single hair, his eyes are perfectly fine too. You two, father and son, hurry and think of a way; if this continues, our second branch will never be able to get ahead."

Sheng Yukai quickly learned from the internet everything that happened last night; Sheng Hanyu was not only fine, but damn it, he had become a hero who saved people.

Sheng Hanyu had been faking blindness, and he had faked it for five years.

This made him extremely panicked, and he said to his father tremblingly: "Dad, Father, do you think he will be the first to make a move against me?"

Sheng Hai was more seasoned than his son and could keep his cool.

He told his son not to panic; the more it was a time like this, the less they could afford to lose their footing.

The family of three calmed down and discussed for a long time, then Sheng Yukai took generous gifts to the Sheng Hanyu Villa to seek peace!

The housekeeper saw Sheng Yukai arrive and immediately let her face fall: "Second Young Master, you've come at a bad time; the Eldest Young Master is not here."

Sheng Hanyu wasn't even seen, and the servant had already given him the cold shoulder; if this were any other time, Sheng Yukai would have flipped out already.

But now he couldn't; he had come to show weakness and probe for information!

"Zhang Ma, I've come to bring my big brother some things; since he isn't here, you can just accept them."

As he spoke, he had the driver take the gifts down, but was refused by the housekeeper: "Second Young Master, you had better take them back. The Eldest Young Master will not accept them; please don't make it difficult for me, a servant."

Sheng Yukai knew this was the housekeeper being modest; in Sheng Hanyu's heart, she was even more important than Wang Yingzhi.

Her words were basically equivalent to Sheng Hanyu's intentions.

"Fine, I won't make it difficult for you; I'll wait here for my big brother to return." Sheng Yukai took the opportunity to stay.

He wouldn't leave, and the housekeeper couldn't say much, so she served drinks and fruit, then went to attend to her own business.

Sheng Yukai didn't leave, but after sitting in the living room for a while, he became increasingly alarmed.

Visitors to the villa never stopped; they were basically all people sent by families of status in Jiangzhou City, either bringing gifts or invitations, either straightforwardly or beating around the bush.

The purpose was only one—they wanted to marry into the Sheng family through Sheng Hanyu!

Not many people in Jiangzhou City knew about Sheng Hanyu's marriage, and even back when Shi Youxuan went missing, Sheng Yukai had used this matter on the internet to smear Sheng Hanyu for "killing his wife."

It was also because no one had heard of Sheng Hanyu being married that most people automatically judged it to be a fabrication!

Sheng Hanyu not being blind was enough to make him wary; if he were to marry into a powerful family, wouldn't he die even more miserably?

Sheng Yukai couldn't sit still in the living room, and without waiting for Sheng Hanyu to "return," he took his leave.

……

"This isn't it, the villa ahead is the one."

All morning, Yingzi didn't know how many times she had said the same thing to people coming to the door to deliver gifts and invitations; her lips were almost worn thin.

Good grief, Sheng Hanyu hadn't been back for a week, but upon returning, he suddenly became a hero.

Fine, be a hero, and fine, offer congratulations, but what was the meaning of always finding the wrong place?

Yingzi was annoyed beyond measure, so she used thick cardboard to make a large road sign, on which she wrote: Sheng Hanyu Villa is two hundred meters ahead, this is a private residence, no disturbances, thank you!

After hanging it at the intersection, the villa finally became quiet.

……

Sheng Hanyu stood in front of the wardrobe looking at the neatly arranged closet, but in his mind, he was thinking of Shi Youxuan sitting inside it.

That woman hadn't been married in long before she went missing, and it had been over a month now without her being found; the longer the time, the more hopeless the prospect of finding her became. Was she still alive?

He hoped she was still alive, hoped she was safe and sound.

He hoped that, at best, some kind-hearted person had taken her in, waiting for him to find her and bring her back.

Once he found her, he would definitely compensate her well and let her live a life free of worry in the Sheng Family forever; this was what the Sheng Family owed her, and what he himself owed her.

After Sheng Yukai left, the housekeeper went upstairs to the bedroom and knocked: "Knock, knock, knock."

"Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Master has left."

The knocking interrupted his thoughts, and Sheng Hanyu came out of the bedroom: "When will those people leave?"

The housekeeper gave a bitter smile: "I'd like to know that too, but it seems there are more and more of them."

"I'll go stay elsewhere for these few days. Reject all the invitations; as for the gifts, you handle them—accepting them is fine, just send a return gift later."

He knew there would be no more quiet days from now on; he couldn't be too absolute in his actions, as offending everyone completely would do no good.

The bodyguard parked the car at the back door, and he packed a few clothes and his computer, carried them out through the back door, and drove past the intersection, slowing down. He saw that road sign and felt the handwriting looked very familiar.

It looked like print, beautiful but not stiff, the handwriting was so familiar—he remembered, Yingzi's handwriting was just like this!

Yingzi lived at the Jian Yining Villa?

He had already driven quite far but circled back, stopping at the villa entrance.

Yingzi came out and said crossly: "Can't you see such a big road sign? Sheng Hanyu lives ahead..."

She stopped mid-sentence because Sheng Hanyu had stepped out of the car.

"What are you here for?"

She immediately turned back and closed the door.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open directly, and Sheng Hanyu entered.

This infuriated Yingzi; she put her hands on her hips and widened her eyes: "Do you think this is your house? If you kick the door broken, you pay for it!"

"Fine, I'll pay."

He agreed quite readily, but he was already carrying his luggage and walking upstairs.

"Hey, what are you going upstairs for?"

Yingzi ran two quick steps to get in front of him, stretched out her arms to block his path, her gaze full of vigilance.

The meeting that day was at night, the bedroom lighting was somewhat dim, and because Sheng Hanyu was wearing sunglasses the whole time, Yingzi didn't feel there was anything wrong.

But now it was daytime, the sunlight outside was perfect, and it made the "skin" on her face look a bit stiff.

The two were too close, and Sheng Hanyu kept staring at her, so Yingzi was the first to lose her composure; she turned and stomped upstairs, but then stood guard at the top of the stairs.

"What are you looking at? Keep looking and I'll gouge your eyeballs out." She was incredibly fierce.

So Sheng Hanyu shifted his gaze and said to her, "Where is Jian Yining?"

"Not here."

"Where is Achou?"

Yingzi thought to herself, I am Achou, and I am also Shi Youxuan, but I cannot tell you.

"Fired."

"Why?"

Yingzi argued forcefully: "Just a servant, fired is fired, what 'why' could there be? Is it any of your business?"

No one had ever spoken to Sheng Hanyu like this before; no, wait, there was one person!

But that person was already lost.

Sheng Hanyu stared at Yingzi without blinking, and she protested again: "Do you have any manners? Why are you staring at me so blankly? There are no flowers on my face."

He didn't speak, nor did he shift his gaze!

Yingzi felt guilty under his stare, so she rolled her eyes and came up with a plan: "No wonder Jian Yixin won't come out to see you; so you're a flirt, liking every person you see."

This worked, and Sheng Hanyu shifted his gaze: "Don't be so conceited, I just feel you are very familiar, I have no other thoughts."

"Yo, you're still using such an old line? Men with no class all use this trick to hit on girls..."

The more Yingzi spoke, the more spirited she became, and the more she rambled, but Sheng Hanyu noticed she was trying too hard, as if she were deliberately trying to drive him away.

Theoretically, Dingsheng and Tianma are currently in a partnership, so this attitude toward a partner is not normal; it seems she has something she doesn't want him to know and is deliberately hiding it.

Sheng Hanyu went downstairs but didn't leave; he sat on the sofa and opened his laptop to start working!

Yingzi stood at the top of the stairs for a long time and, seeing he had no intention of leaving, couldn't hold back and asked: "Hey, why aren't you leaving?"

"I'm not leaving; I'm going to stay here for a few days."
