Chapter 92: The War Between the Prospective Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law

Shi Yuke felt a flicker of joy in her heart, a joy that Sheng Yukai still cared about her the most.

As luck would have it, this scene was seen by her future parents-in-law, and she hurriedly pulled away from Sheng Yukai's embrace, wearing a fawning smile: "Auntie, you've misunderstood. I got sand in my eye, and A Kai was helping me blow it out."

Bai Xue let out a "Hmph!" through her nose and said sarcastically, "Some women are just used to saying one thing and doing another. That act of yours might work on men, but it won't fool me."

Shi Yuke shed tears before she even spoke, looking aggrieved: "Auntie, what do you mean by that? Yuke doesn't understand."

"Don't understand? I think you're just pretending not to..."

Neither Sheng Hai nor his son wanted the two women to start bickering at a time like this, so they hurriedly kept their own women in check, not letting them continue the confrontation.

Nine-thirty.

Several black Passats quietly drove into the underground parking lot of the Prince Hotel. Today, the attendees of the press conference were basically all reporters, and it was too common for reporters to drive such cars, so no one noticed at all.

The cars parked in their spots, and the lead car held five people—four men and one woman!

Yingzi sat in the passenger seat, looking around, and said worriedly to Jian Yining: "Do you think we'll be kicked out before we even get through the door? If that happens, the half-night we spent planning yesterday will have been for nothing."

Jian Yining gave her a look like she was an idiot: "Yingzi, I say, you're quite a smart person, so why did your IQ suddenly go offline? What did we bring these people for? To bring them along to watch the fun?"

The others didn't speak, but they basically thought the same as Jian Yining.

Only Sheng Hanyu sat motionless in his seat, his falcon-like eyes staring straight ahead, his face devoid of the slightest expression.

Yingzi saw him in the rearview mirror and suddenly felt that this man looked more pleasing to the eye when wearing sunglasses; his eyes were too sharp, so sharp that one dared not meet his gaze.

"Hanyu Ge, are we going up now?" Jian Yining felt that the five of them just sitting in the car wasn't the answer.

Sheng Hanyu: "No rush, we'll go up at five past ten."

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

He understood every habit of Sheng Yukai; every time there was such a major occasion, he would deliberately be five minutes late.

Going early wouldn't show off his status; in Sheng Yukai's perception, only subordinates and people of lowly position would arrive early!

He had to make everyone wait for him to satisfy his inflated vanity.

There was a dedicated elevator from the parking lot to the conference room on the twentieth floor, and under normal circumstances, it wouldn't take more than a minute to go up, but today it was clear that Sheng Yukai had prepared in advance, as the parking lot elevator had been taken out of service.

To get to the conference room, one could only take the main entrance; there were Security Guards watching the main door, people checking at the elevator entrance, and after getting off the elevator, one still needed an invitation to enter. Passing through these layers of checkpoints would basically take about twelve minutes.

And at that time, Sheng Yukai would have just finished the opening of his speech and stated the main points he wanted to express, but wouldn't have had time to explain the details yet; that was the best moment for them to go in and interrupt!

Sheng Hanyu had considered every aspect very thoroughly. When he was explaining the plan, Yingzi hadn't quite believed it, thinking, could it really be that mysterious?

However, from the moment the few of them got out of the car and walked to the main entrance, Yingzi began to be shocked!

Every problem they encountered, including what the Security Guard said, was exactly the same as his analysis, right down to the expressions!

Of course, the timing was also calculated perfectly.

Nine-fifty.

Shi Yuke checked the watch on her wrist for the Nth time. Seeing Sheng Yukai still chatting and laughing with his parents, she finally couldn't help but start urging him: "A Kai, it's almost ten o'clock. Aren't you getting ready to go out?"

Sheng Yukai was dissatisfied with being interrupted, and even more dissatisfied with being urged. He glared at her: "What's the rush? People from small families just lack this awareness; they're too impatient."

Shi Yuke didn't know what she had done wrong.

How could there be something wrong with reminding him?

They had just been saying that they had thought about this for decades and it was finally about to come true, so why were they suddenly not in a hurry when it was time to announce it?

Bai Xue sneered and said to her son: "See the difference now? It's useless for some people to just have a pretty face; you only see the difference at critical moments."

She didn't like Shi Yuke at all. She didn't care about Shi Yuke being her son's girlfriend; anyway, her son had plenty of girlfriends, and having the number one beauty in Jiangzhou as a girlfriend didn't make him lose face.

But Shi Yuke marrying her son to become her daughter-in-law?

Bai Xue was unwilling, and even more opposed to it.

The reason she hadn't made it clear to Shi Yuke, hadn't told her that the Sheng Family wouldn't take her as a daughter-in-law, was because her husband said it was an extraordinary period, and everything should be prioritized for stability; they shouldn't create extra trouble at such a time.

Moreover, she hoped even more that Shi Yuke would have some self-awareness, know she wasn't worthy of her son, and retreat in the face of difficulty.

It would be great if Shi Yuke voluntarily gave up the idea of becoming the Chairman's Wife; that way, they wouldn't have to tear off the mask and avoid the reputation of "killing the donkey once it has finished turning the mill."

So she only sneered, giving Shi Yuke cold looks and sarcasm, without explicitly stating that she wouldn't let Shi Yuke enter the Sheng Family's door!

However, Shi Yuke was thicker-skinned than she had imagined, and had super-strong endurance. No matter how she provoked or expressed dissatisfaction, she only had one attitude—apologizing!

"I'm sorry, Auntie. It was my impatience that made you angry. It's all my fault." Shi Yuke wasn't terrified, just lowered her eyes and appeared very submissive.

Although it was an "apology" and the attitude was impeccable, the words spoken weren't quite that way.

"Impatience" implied concern, and "It's all my fault" didn't specify exactly what she was wrong about!

Sheng Yukai began to be dissatisfied with Bai Xue: "Mom, don't be so harsh on Yuke. If she doesn't understand, you can just teach her. At a time like this, you're still causing trouble..."

"A Kai, don't say anymore. It's my fault." Shi Yuke stopped him softly, but the look she gave him was one of gratitude.

Now, not only Sheng Yukai, but even Sheng Hai felt she was gentle and sensible. If it weren't for her insufficient background and the fact that she had been mixed up with Wang Yingzhi not long ago, she could actually be a daughter-in-law.

"Alright, A Kai, don't get distracted. Have you memorized the script?" Bai Xue cleverly changed the subject, but she was even more guarded against Shi Yuke.

Sheng Yukai proudly took out a small Bluetooth earpiece and held it up in front of his mother to show off: "Don't worry, even if I haven't memorized the script, there won't be a single mistake. Yuke was afraid I'd be nervous and forget my lines, so she specially prepared this artifact for me. If I forget my lines, she'll remind me from behind, guaranteeing it will be foolproof."

After finishing, he proudly pulled Shi Yuke into his arms and gave her a hard kiss.

It was true that his son was lecherous, but he had never shown such approval for any girl in front of her. Sheng Yukai's current appearance made Bai Xue feel alarmed, and her guard against Shi Yuke became even heavier.

If her son really married this woman, it was hard to say who would be more important in Sheng Yukai's heart in the future.

Ten-zero-three.

Sheng Hai reminded him, and only then did Sheng Yukai stand up, pat the non-existent dust off his body, and stride out with his head held high!

Sheng Hai and Bai Xue followed behind their son. Today was the press conference held by the Sheng Family, and the people of the Sheng Family... no, the couple Sheng Jiang and the family of three of Sheng Hai were attending.

Because Shi Yuke hadn't entered the Sheng Family's door yet, she couldn't attend such a major occasion and was left in the room to watch the surveillance.

Not only were Sheng Hanyu and Sheng Zerong not notified, but Sheng Hai had also added extra manpower at the entrance to guard against them, fearing they would come to cause trouble.

Before the family of three of Sheng Hai entered the conference room, Sheng Jiang and Wang Yingzhi were almost bullied to tears by the reporters.

Although these people were all hired by Sheng Yukai at a high price, that did not mean they would not bully honest people!

Furthermore, Sheng Yukai had not said that they could not ask the uncle and aunt questions, so one tricky question after another came crashing down on the couple like a mountain and a sea.

When the old master was alive, he knew what kind of temperament this couple had, so they had never had the opportunity to participate in such scenes, and now they were extremely nervous.

Let alone handling it with ease, the two were so nervous that they could not even say a complete sentence, their hands and feet kept trembling, and the cold sweat on their bodies dried and turned wet, then wet and turned dry again!
