Chapter 147 Return to the City
Boss Wang's face changed slightly, thinking to himself, "You're the idiot, not me. Why should I, a perfectly good businessman, offend a student from First Middle School for the sake of your granddaughter without even knowing his background?"
Besides, it's clear your granddaughter doesn't like me. What good could possibly come from offending them?
Although he hated to admit it, anyone who wasn't blind could see that these two were a perfect match, destined to be together. Who could possibly come between them?
If I were a woman, I would choose Shen Mochen too!
Even though he was cursing inwardly, Boss Wang put on a smiling face and said, "Old man, since your granddaughter already has a boyfriend, I won't bother them..."
"Ah, Boss Wang is really a generous man, so polite to his elders..." Shen Mochen sighed, "By the way, I still don't know the name of Boss Wang. May I ask your honorable surname and full name? It's rare to see such polite people these days."
Boss Wang paused, sharp as he was, and immediately understood Shen Mochen's intentions. It seemed that the person Shen Mochen disliked the most was not himself, but Cai Yuncui's grandmother. However, in front of his girlfriend, it wouldn't be right to do anything to her grandmother...
If he couldn't stand in for her, this matter might not end well.
Thinking this, Boss Wang's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the old lady across the face, leaving her dazed, wailing in pain.
Sensing the disturbance, Shen Mochen, taking advantage of Cai Yuncui's lack of vision at the moment, pretended to be annoyed, "Why are you pretending again?"
Sure enough, Cai Yuncui stopped moving.
"Boss Wang, what is this..."
The old lady's mouth was bleeding, but even then, she continued to smile ingratiatingly.
With that slap, Boss Wang himself felt much better. Glancing at Shen Mochen with a smile, he completely relaxed and burst out, "You blind old thing, living inside a dog's stomach at your age! Are you blind to see Miss Cai and Master Shen are a match made in heaven? It seems you are really senile. Your family being associated with Master Shen is the fortune of many lifetimes, truly a lowly life for cheap people!"
"What?"
With blood dripping from her mouth and a bewildered expression, the old lady finally realized the change in Boss Wang's attitude... Could this young man be someone even more extraordinary?
That must be it... If not, why would Cai Yuncui dismiss even Boss Wang? It must be because this young man is from an even wealthier family!
Lifting her head slowly, she gave Shen Mochen a glance, seeing his radiant and impeccable presence. If he wasn't from a noble family found in tales, how could he possess such a divine appearance?
In that instant, her heart filled with both regret and fear, her eyes rolled back, and she actually fainted.
The others looked at each other, then at Shen Mochen, and then at Boss Wang, but none dared to step forward to help.
With an innocent look, Boss Wang turned to Shen Mochen, thinking, "I did just as you wanted, you can't blame me for this!"
The hall fell into an eerie silence.
"Did she faint?" Shen Mochen gently let go of Cai Yuncui, walked over to the grandmother, crouched in front of her, and patted her face, "Stop pretending, get up. I'm not angry with you anymore."
With each pat, a faint green light flowed from his hand into the old lady's body, and soon she slowly opened her eyes.
The bystanders didn't know what the green light was; they even thought the old lady was pretending to be dead again. But Boss Wang, who was experienced, felt a chill in his heart when he saw it.
Superpower User.

At this moment, no matter what Shen Mochen's identity was, Boss Wang couldn't harbor a single thought of resistance.
Male Superpower Users were national treasures, especially one as young as Shen Mochen... Even if he was previously nobody, now he would be the honored guest of powerful families!
If Shen Mochen really wanted to act against him, many big shots would be happy to owe him this favor.
Cold sweat trickled down, and Boss Wang felt only a sense of relief from a narrow escape!
Fortunately, after so many years of toughing it out, he had restrained himself enough and hadn't offended Master Shen too much earlier... Otherwise, in Yu Huai City, the capital of Gaotang State, his financial resources might not even rank in the top hundred, let alone those more powerful hereditary nobles.
"What's the matter, won't you help the old lady to bed and let her rest?" Shen Mochen saw the old lady struggling to stand up alone and said softly to the others.
Having received Shen Mochen's permission, the crowd finally rushed forward to assist the old lady into the house.
Deep down, they all regretted, truly blind not to recognize the real dragon!
Now anyone who's not blind can see that Boss Wang is very afraid of him, what does this mean? It means this young man is even stronger than Boss Wang... If only they hadn't sided with Boss Wang earlier but with Young Master Shen instead, one happy word from him could have benefited their families for a lifetime!
This old lady was also short-sighted, to suffer herself and even drag her relatives into it!
After taking the old lady inside, everyone cautiously exited with their heads down, not daring to meet Shen Mochen's eyes, nor daring to speak, only showing a cringing and submissive expression.
Shen Mochen coldly scanned the crowd, recalling a man named Su Qin who, after gaining wealth, saw his despised sister-in-law crawling on the ground like a dog to greet him. Quite similar to the current scenario.
But his prestige was false, merely bluster, using the reputation of First Middle School only. Lying was not an issue for him, neither was creating an illusion of being a scion of a distinguished family.
A thin-skinned castaway couldn't survive out of the slums; he had lived to his fullest using every possible means.
Previously, he thought by enduring, he could live as an ordinary person and coexist peacefully with the world, but the world cruelly abandoned him once again.
Since there were no attachments left, why should he suffer any longer? He ought to follow his heart and enjoy himself freely.
Cai Yuncui sat beside Shen Mochen, unaware why everyone suddenly became so submissive. She had known Shen Mochen's identity from the start, so even having just heard the conversation, she did not think too much on it.
Regardless of what had happened, all she knew was Shen Mochen had successfully battled the entire world, and no one could blame her anymore.
"Cai Yuncui is mine; all of her belongs to me. With me here, if anyone still dares to bully this fool in the future, don't blame me for being rude, understand?" Shen Mochen's voice carried a threat, and everyone nodded vehemently.
Just then, Shen Mochen's phone rang. He glanced at it, "Someone is here to pick us up, let's go, back to town."
Cai Yuncui nodded, hesitating, "My grandmother..."
"Her health is fine, of course. But if you wish to stay and continue with the matchmaking, then I'll go back ahead," Shen Mochen said with a light smile.
"No, I'll go with you." Cai Yuncui instinctively grabbed Shen Mochen's hand.
"You guys at the Jishi Association have some interesting books on ideological education. Find those for me, I'll take them back to read."
Cai Yuncui went back inside and after a flurry of searching, gathered the books and struggled to carry them out.
Shen Mochen chuckled as he took the books, "Seems like having a bigger chest isn't always an advantage; too little usable space, barely able to hold even these few books."
Cai Yuncui blushed and didn't glare at him, instead fetched a bag for Shen Mochen to pack the books and then turned to ask those relatives to help take care of her grandmother from time to time.
Everyone treated her as someone who had latched onto a wealthy and influential young man. They were relieved that she wasn't seeking revenge on them and readily nodded and bowed, immediately agreeing to her request.
"Is Boss Wang leaving with us?" Shen Mochen glanced sideways.
"Yes, after you!" Boss Wang gestured with his hand, waiting for Shen Mochen and Cai Yuncui to leave before following behind.
At the gate, a nondescript government sedan was parked out front, seemingly the ride for Shen Mochen.
Boss Wang stood behind the two, silently observing; the car looked so ordinary, nowhere near the style befitting nobility...
However, the next moment, an almost silver-haired foreign young woman jumped out of the car and walked straight up to Shen Mochen.
Boss Wang's eyes widened more than ever. He recognized this foreign young woman as Catherine Alexandrov, one of the top ten Marquis families of the Roman Empire, with a status in Gaotang State of Yupi Country that surpassed any other family.
Such aristocracy, and she'd come personally to pick up Shen Mochen—just who was he, really? Was he not a scion from Gaotang State, but from the capital of the Empire?
What do you think?
