My Silly, Sweet Wife

The originally noisy outside of the Su Mansion became incredibly quiet.

Everyone looked at Shen Lian with strange expressions, and from time to time, someone pointed and whispered, as if there was a vast grassland above Shen Lian’s head.

Even Cheng Zidao was dumbfounded.

He couldn’t figure out what was going on and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Moments later, as Shen Lian’s expression changed, he suddenly burst into laughter.

”Jiu’er, is this the cousin you were talking about? What a mix-up, like a flood rushing through Dragon King Temple.” Shen Lian strode forward, reaching out a hand towards Ye Guichen: ”Cousin, I’m really sorry. I’ve heard Jiu’er mention you many times before, but I’ve never met you, only seen photos, so I didn’t recognize you at first, apologies, apologies.”

With these words.

The people around suddenly seemed to understand.

”No wonder, who would dare to give Young Master Shen a green hat? So it was a misunderstanding.”

”Yes, he’s Su Jiu’er’s cousin. This misunderstanding was quite significant.”

Cheng Zidao was dumbfounded.

Cousin?

This guy named Ye is Su Jiu’er’s cousin?

If that’s the case, it explains the lack of an invitation.

However, it seems there’s never been mention of Su Jiu’er having a cousin?

The scene quickly became lively.

Shen Lian, however, was very magnanimous: ”Alright, alright, let’s go inside first, don’t stay out in the cold.”

Then, he glanced at Cheng Zidao: ”It was all a misunderstanding just now, let’s just drop it for my sake, okay?”

Cheng Zidao, though filled with resentment, dared not go against Shen Lian’s words.

Upon hearing this, he could only nod: ”Young Master Shen, you are too kind. I didn’t know this gentleman was your cousin, truly sorry, my apologies.”

As he spoke, he shamelessly approached to apologize to Ye Guihua.

Ye Guichen snorted coldly, ignored him, and pushed Su Jiu’er’s hand away: ”Let’s go.”

The group quickly entered the Su Mansion.

Chu Tiange followed but was exceedingly perplexed.

”Cousin? When did he become Su Jiu’er’s cousin?”

Though filled with doubt, this place was filled with important figures. Even though Chu Tiange was a big star, he didn’t dare to act recklessly and began meeting people under Cheng Zidao’s guidance.

”Ye Guichen, Grandpa said if you come, I’m supposed to take you to see him,” Su Jiu’er understood Shen Lian’s intention all too well.

From her understanding of Shen Lian, her unintentional action just now probably made Shen Lian see Ye Guichen as a thorn in his side.

However, for her sake and the Shen Family’s face, Shen Lian had no choice but to call Ye Guichen a cousin in front of others.

It turned out to be a win-win.

Su Jiu’er didn’t expose it. After entering the Su Mansion, she pulled Ye Guichen toward the back courtyard.

”Cousin, you go in with Jiu’er first, I’ll go entertain the guests.” Shen Lian said politely to Ye Guichen, as if nothing had ever happened.

Ye Guichen remained incredibly aloof, not responding.

Shen Lian maintained a smile on his face as he watched the backs of Ye Guichen and Su Jiu’er, unable to help clenching his fists slowly.

He quickly walked to one of the rooms.

As the door closed behind him, he suddenly punched the wall fiercely, creating a huge hole: ”Bitch! Su Jiu’er, I never thought you would embarrass me in front of everyone. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, today, our Shen Family would be the laughingstock! Damn Su Family, you were the ones begging me to marry Su Jiu’er, not the other way around!”

As if a boundless rage rose within him.

After venting for a while, Shen Lian took out his phone and quickly dialed a number: ”Come to my room immediately.”

Not long after, the door was pushed open.

This room was specially prepared for Shen Lian by the Su Family; no one else could enter.

In came a woman wearing a professional outfit.

The woman was incredibly seductive, supposedly Shen Lian’s financial secretary.

This time, coming to propose, Shen Lian brought many gifts, worth tens of millions at least.

And this financial secretary was specifically brought to keep the books for Shen Lian.

Her face carried a trace of dread as soon as she stepped into the room: ”Young Master Shen, how can I assist you?”

Shen Lian’s face was grim as he glanced at her: ”Close the door.”

The woman dared not disobey, seemingly knowing what would happen next, and nervously closed the door.

”Take off your clothes!” Shen Lian said bluntly.

The woman’s body trembled, biting her lip: ”Young Master Shen, are you alright?”

”Stop the damn nonsense!”

Shen Lian yelled, ”Hurry up!”

That shout frightened the woman, who quickly lowered her head and began undressing in front of Shen Lian.

”Kneel!”

Shen Lian seemed frenzied, pulling out a whip from somewhere, and began lashing at the woman wildly: ”You wretched woman, once I have you, see how I torment you! Watch how I consume the Shen Family bit by bit!”

”Wretched woman! Wretched woman!”

After a bout of madness, Shen Lian sat down on the floor, as if he’d vented all the boundless grievances in his heart.

The woman was already bruised and battered, lying on the ground, not daring to make a sound, struggling to suppress even her sobs: ”Young Master Shen, are, are you alright?”

”Put on your clothes and get out!” Shen Lian glared at her without further words.

After the woman dressed and left, Shen Lian tidied his clothes, smiled at his reflection, looking the picture of a genteel gentleman.

Meanwhile, Su Jiu’er had already led Ye Guichen to meet Sunan King Su Mu.

This was Ye Guichen’s first time meeting Su Mu.

Originally, Ye Guichen thought Su Mu would be a spirited, burly old man, if not as energetic as Zhang Chonglou, then at least more so than a regular old man.

However, what he saw this time struck Ye Guichen.

Su Mu was as thin as a rake, giving the impression of a fallen tiger, although he exuded endless power, it was the decline of a hero.

Su Mu’s eyes were sunken; though nearly six feet tall, it seemed his entire body weighed less than a hundred pounds.

He held a dragon-headed cane, his eyes reflecting wisdom borne of adversity.

Su Wu and Su Ze, along with their father Su Cheng, stood by his side.

Upon seeing Ye Guichen enter, Su Wu quickly whispered a few words to Su Mu.

Su Mu forced a smile: ”Mr. Ye, I’ve heard much about you.”

Ye Guichen looked at Su Mu, showing no politeness, and instead retorted: ”Sunan King, did you deliberately send Su Jiu’er out to fetch me just now?”

”What?” Su Jiu’er was taken aback: ”Ye Guichen, what do you mean?”

Ye Guichen, knowing Su Jiu’er was still in the dark, smiled: ”Su Jiu’er, I don’t know what you mean to me, but I have no intention towards you. However, your behavior just now outside the Su Mansion was a slap in Shen Lian’s face. No man would tolerate such attentiveness from a woman towards another man.”

Saying this, Ye Guichen looked again at Su Mu: ”And the Su Family knew it would result in this, yet you still sent her to fetch me outside. Are you trying to sow discord between me and Shen Lian?”
