After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Why Do You Look So Pale?
 

“Mrs. Sheng is so ruthless,” he said, “not only did she pry the truth from Gan Xiaotian’s mouth that the mastermind behind the scenes was Ye Xinyu, but she also managed to pin this kidnapping case on Ye Xinyu. How could Mr. Sheng dare to accuse her, isn’t he afraid of being bitten back by Mrs. Sheng?”

Sheng Shaochen looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, the expression on his face unreadable.

Ye Shu’s brows furrowed even tighter, her pretty face scrunching into a frown akin to a bitter gourd.

“I never fabricate things out of thin air,” she said. “But how Gan Xiaotian wants to strike back at Ye Xinyu, well, that’s out of my control.”

“Aren’t you afraid that they’ll follow the clues and find out you’re the planner behind the kidnapping case?” Sheng Shaochen’s fingers tapped on the table idly.

“I think Mr. Sheng will not let them find out the truth easily,” Ye Shu replied methodically. “After all, I used people under Mr. Sheng’s command. And Mr. Sheng does not want anyone to know about the secret marriage between us.”

“You’ve thought this through quite well,” Sheng Shaochen couldn’t help but curl his lips into a deeper smile.

Undeniably, Ye Shu was smart and emotionally intelligent, which suited his taste perfectly.

Ye Shu knew that regarding the kidnapping incident, she acted without authorization, which was bound to displease Sheng Shaochen. That was only to be expected.

He lectured her incessantly as if possessed by Tang Seng, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.

In the end, it was a phone call that saved her.

It was Han Ruixin who called Sheng Shaochen, and he did not avoid suspicion, answering it right in front of Ye Shu.

Vague sobbing came from the other end of the phone, Han Ruixin’s inherently weak demeanor begging for protection.

Ye Shu’s heart felt inexplicably stifled.

After a while, she heard Sheng Shaochen say, “Don’t worry, I’ll come and keep you company!”

Ye Shu’s heart soured for no apparent reason. Biting her lip, she fiddled with her phone.

Coincidentally, a call from Sun Nanjue came at that moment, and with a slide of the finger, Ye Shu answered, deliberately making her voice very low and gentle, “Hello…”

Sun Nanjue shivered at the other end and after a few seconds of silence, said, “Little Shushu, are you free?”

“Yes, I am. What can I do for you, Director Sun?” Ye Shu teased with a coy smile.

Completely disregarding the raging gaze of a certain someone.

“Let’s meet and talk then, I’m waiting for you at the café opposite Shengjing Garden.”

“Sure, don’t stand me up,” she said, even blowing a virtual kiss before ending the call.

When she looked up, she met Sheng Shaochen’s darkening face.

She frowned teasingly and said with a sly smile, “Mr. Sheng, why such a glum face? Could it be your bright moonlight has scorned you?”

Before she could finish, he seized her wrist fiercely, “Who allowed you to meet with a man alone?”

Ye Shu winced from the pain and pushed him away forcefully.

Raising her teary eyes to glare at him, she said, “Mr. Sheng seems to have forgotten that when we signed the premarital agreement, we agreed not to interfere with each other’s private lives! Surely Mr. Sheng can’t expect to have his cake and eat it too? Besides, I’m meeting your brother.”

But the one you’re going to meet is the woman you intend to marry.

Ye Shu’s nose tingled with sourness as she turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

But her heart felt increasingly congested.

Lousy man, he thinks he’s so great just because he’s rich?

He doesn’t have her in his heart, so she won’t bother keeping a place for him in hers, hmph.

But why does it hurt so much? Has she been poisoned by Sheng Shaochen?
