Chapter 66: Watch Your Mouth

Zhu Yuan gritted her teeth and crawled up from the bed; she grabbed that Medicine, tossed it into her mouth, and gulped down a mouthful of water, the pill sliding into her stomach along with the warm water.

Perhaps because her stomach was too empty, after she took the medicine, her stomach churned, and she couldn't help but dry heave.

Tears swirled in her eye sockets, and she forced herself to hold them back, not letting them fall.

Catching a glimpse of the man still standing by the bed out of the corner of her eye, she pulled the quilt over and clutched it to her chest.

The quilt could not hide her fullness and her fair, glowing legs.

Sheng Yu swept a deep, dark gaze over her, and the sound of his footsteps as he turned and left gradually faded away.

At the doorway, Doctor Qiao Mai saw him come out and immediately lowered his head.

"Watch your mouth."

"Yes, Young Master Yu."

Downstairs, Situ stood by the car door waiting.

Enzo, the Bodyguard who had driven Zhu Yuan a few times before, whispered from the side: "Tu Ge, is Young Master Yu really going to put Miss Zhu under house arrest?"

Situ did not speak; he never speculated on Sheng Yu's thoughts.

"You said Miss Zhu has a stable personality and is very humorous; it's not easy for Young Master Yu to have a woman around he can actually talk to, shouldn't we think of a way?"

"Shut up!"

Can't you see Young Master Yu is in a foul mood?

Whoever tries to persuade him at a juncture like this is going to be in for trouble.

Enzo opened his mouth, wanting to speak again, when he saw from afar that Sheng Yu was coming down from upstairs; his face was expressionless, except for the fact that his face was bruised and battered.

His brow bone, the bridge of his nose, and his cheeks were covered in patches of bruises and broken skin; these were all injuries from fighting the Second Master of the Pei Family yesterday, which didn't count for much, as they had all seen it yesterday.

But what was up with the slap mark on his cheek?

Judging by the size, it definitely wasn't from the Second Master of the Pei Family yesterday.

Enzo signaled frantically to Situ, but Situ ignored him and opened the car door without changing his expression.

"Young Master Yu."

Sheng Yu walked to the car door, glanced at Enzo, who had become obedient in a second, and said coldly: "Send her back."

"Yes, Young Master Yu."

It seemed he didn't intend to keep her under house arrest.

Enzo thought to himself, it really has to be Miss Zhu who can coax Young Master Yu.

But when he saw Zhu Yuan coming down the stairs downstairs and limping toward the car, his heart skipped a beat.

Why did something seem wrong?

Zhu Yuan's complexion couldn't be called bad, because her face was rosy and glowing, like a ripe honey peach. But those eyes seemed to have not a shred of light, and her face lacked the smile she usually showed when she saw him.

Enzo's gaze inadvertently swept over Zhu Yuan's neck, and suddenly realizing something, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Miss Zhu, where are you going?"

"Back to my rented apartment."

Her voice was dry and hoarse, as if she had been crying for a long time.

Enzo suddenly remembered that after Sheng Yu returned yesterday evening, he had ordered everyone to leave the villa.

"By the way, Miss Zhu, your bag is right on your right-hand side; no one has touched your things."

"Thank you."

Zhu Yuan thanked him and took her phone out of her bag.

It still had power.

There were missed calls from her grandfather.

Thinking that she hadn't gone back last night, her grandfather must be very worried.

Zhu Yuan hurriedly called back.

The call connected quickly, and listening to her grandfather's kind voice on the phone, Zhu Yuan's eye sockets grew moist.

Enzo, who was driving, heard a sob from her throat and frowned slightly.

He only heard her take a deep breath.

"Grandpa, I'm fine. The performance was too late last night, so I stayed at a place nearby... Yes, I have a bit of a cold. I know, I just brewed some cold medicine and am about to drink it. I'm afraid of infecting you, so I won't go to the hospital for the next two days. There's a caregiver with you, so if you feel any discomfort, you must say so in time... Remember not to eat spicy food; if I find out, I'll be angry, okay?"

He didn't know what the old man on the other end of the phone said.

Enzo heard her breathing begin to tremble.

"I know, I'll see a doctor if I feel unwell. I'm hanging up now, Grandpa."

Enzo pursed his lips and, without a sound, raised the car's partition.

In the second before the partition was fully raised, he vaguely heard the woman's suppressed sobbing.

Sheng Group.

From the moment Sheng Yu got out of the car, countless pairs of eyes saw the injuries on his face.

The news that Sheng Hongyao had an accident on the golf course yesterday and that Sheng Yu had brought people to smash the Pei Family Bank as soon as he returned to the country had already spread within the circle.

People on the outside didn't know, but those in the circle saw it clearly; the infighting between the Pei Family and the president of the Pei Family, Pei Shaoshen, these past few days was said to be because Sheng Hongyao had touched his woman.

With Sheng Hongyao having an accident, it was easy for people to think it was the work of the Pei Family.

The timing of Sheng Yu smashing the Pei Family Bank was too clever.

So much so that the outside world was now starting to spread rumors about whether the relationship between the father and son had eased.

Not long after Sheng Yu entered the President Office, Assistant Jiang from the Chairman's Office came over to invite him.

"President Sheng, the Chairman would like you to come over for a moment."

"No time."

Sheng Yu did not even lift his eyes.

Assistant Jiang's attitude remained respectful, "The Chairman is waiting for you."

Sheng Yu shifted his gaze away from the computer screen.

He leaned back against the chair and slowly pulled out a cigarette to light it.

Assistant Jiang suddenly felt a weight on his chest that made it hard to breathe, "President Sheng, please don't make things difficult for us."

Five minutes later.

Sheng Hongyao looked at the man sitting opposite him with bruises on his face, his brows furrowing imperceptibly.

"Why did you go to cause trouble at the Pei Family Bank?"

Others might not know, but he was all too clear that the claim of Sheng Yu smashing the Pei Family Bank to vent his anger for him was complete nonsense.

Furthermore, he had actually come to the company wearing that face!

Although the bruised face did not affect his handsomeness in the slightest.

He had even heard female employees whispering as he passed through the lobby, talking about some "battle-damaged makeup" and screaming in excitement on the spot; it was simply unbelievable!

Sheng Yu said nonchalantly, "I've been unhappy with the Pei Family for a long time."

"You smashed their territory just because you were unhappy?"

Sheng Hongyao still did not believe this.

But regarding Sheng Yu barging into the Pei Family Bank yesterday, not a single detail had leaked out from either the Pei Family side or the Sheng Family side.

However, Sheng Yu had no intention of continuing the conversation with him, and he stood up to walk out.

"Stop right there!"

Sheng Hongyao looked at his tall, straight back, "I don't care who that woman by your side is; don't even think about bringing anyone the Sheng Family doesn't approve of into this house. Your grandmother is already helping you scout for a new partner."

Sheng Yu said in an indifferent tone, "Suit yourselves."

Returning to the President Office, Sheng Yu saw an extra express envelope on his desk.

It was sent locally.

"Where did this come from?"

Situ replied, "It was sent by Miss Zhu."

The man's hand, which was tearing open the envelope, paused.

A bank card and a sticky note slid out from inside.

Two lines of neat but not particularly good-looking handwriting—

Here is 510,000, including the money for the phone I bought before, all returned to you.

Please return all of Lu Huaizhan's things to me.

Sheng Yu let out a cold laugh.

Situ's hand, which was organizing documents, trembled as he saw Sheng Yu crumple the sticky note into a ball and throw it into the trash can!
