Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Shocking the Shen Family

"Okay, no problem, you go ahead and ask," Chen Wei didn’t seem to care.

Honestly, he was also a bit curious about what Shen Junlan would ask him.

He watched as she propped up her right cheek with one hand, while the other lifted to tuck a stray lock of black hair behind her ear from the left side of her face.

It gave her a clearer view of Chen Wei.

Her thin lips parted slightly to ask, "Mr. Chen, you... you... you..."

The word "you" took forever to get out, but it never led to a complete sentence.

In the end, she fell completely silent.

This left Chen Wei utterly confused, as he had no idea what Shen Junlan was trying to express.

Was she that drunk?

Just as Chen Wei was about to say something, Shen Junlan stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, I want to ask, as the Heavenly God of Protecting the Country, what is that like?"

Her tone and expression were clearly mismatched from before.

Chen Wei was certain that this wasn’t the question Shen Junlan had intended to ask.

But he answered anyway, "I suppose it’s a bit pressuring, as everyone is looking up to you, and any small mistake could potentially affect the destinies of thousands, even tens of thousands of people."

"I see, that must be tough," Shen Junlan replied after hearing Chen Wei’s answer, her face showing no sign of enlightenment.

Instead, she seemed even more puzzled.

She picked up the wine glass and bottle, intending to pour herself more, only to discover the bottle was empty and nothing came out.

Lifting her hand, she was about to ask a waiter to bring another bottle but then lowered it and thought better of it.

"Are you done asking?" Chen Wei asked for confirmation.

He wanted to give Shen Junlan a bit of a stir.

Shen Junlan hesitated, then said, "Yes, I’ve... asked everything."

She forced out a smile.

The meal was over.

Chen Wei escorted an increasingly intoxicated Shen Junlan back to her hotel room.

"If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be heading back first," Chen Wei said, standing at the door without entering.

"Okay," Shen Junlan had wanted to say it was getting late and there were plenty of rooms, so he could stay.

But then she remembered it was broad daylight, and there was no "getting late" to speak of...

She nodded her head instead, watching as Chen Wei left.

Then she retreated back into the room and closed the door.

She moved to the bedroom.

Looking at herself in the mirror, even Shen Junlan thought she looked seductive, with a hint of coquettishness...

She turned to the bed and collapsed onto it.

She hugged the soft comforter, buried her head into it, and started screaming as if venting, "Ah..."

After she couldn’t scream anymore, she lay still for half a minute, turned her head, and looked at the room door, deep in thought.

"Why can’t I say it?"

"What exactly am I afraid of?"

...

She kept talking to herself.

Meanwhile, at the Shen family’s.

Shen Junlan’s Mother, Lin Youhui, had just returned home when a bunch of people caught her and began asking questions.

"Youhui, how did it go? Did anything go wrong with the engagement ceremony?"

"Exactly! We mustn’t have any mishaps, having Jiang Fangzheng as a son-in-law would benefit our entire Shen family if he were to marry Junlan."

"Hey! Youhui, you’ve looked troubled and silent since a while ago."

"Come on, say something. Don’t leave us anxious here."

...

Facing these incessant questions, Lin Youhui flung up her hands in frustration, "Ah! Can you not be so annoying? Can’t I have a moment of peace?"

Pushing through the crowd, she strode towards the living room.

Sitting down on the sofa with a thud, she raised her hand to her forehead and began massaging her temples.

Seeing her like this, everyone exchanged glances, feeling a sense of foreboding.

"Zhi, quick, go get your auntie a glass of water."

"Oh! Sure."

...

"Thank you," Lin Youhui took the glass of water, clearly thirsty.

Tilting her head back, she downed it in one gulp.

At that moment, someone sat next to her, lifted their hand, and placed it on her back, gently stroking to help her relax.

"Youhui, there’s no rush, take your time to speak, don’t keep it bottled up inside. Seeing you like this, it has us very worried too."

... Lin Youhui hesitated, sighing deeply before deciding to speak her mind.

Indeed, keeping silent like this, keeping everyone in suspense, who wouldn’t be anxious?

Thus, she used the simplest words to inform everyone about the incidents that had occurred at the hotel that day.

After hearing her, they looked at each other in disbelief.

Some even wondered if Lin Youhui was playing a joke on them.

But knowing her for so many years, didn’t they understand what kind of person Lin Youhui was?

She was definitely not someone who would joke about such matters.

Therefore, it must be true, one hundred percent true!

"My God! I never imagined Junlan would know such characters."

"It really is true that appearances can be deceiving. The Warlord, Heavenly God of Protecting the Country, they are all connected to her."

"Appearances can be deceiving? You’ve got that phrase wrong. Junlan just doesn’t like to dress up usually, but with a bit of grooming, she is a stunning beauty capable of bringing nations to their knees!"

"Exactly, otherwise how could she manage to have Jiang Fangzheng, a man like the Warlord, go to such lengths for her."

"Talking about the Warlord? He’s probably dead cold by now."

"Do you think that Heavenly God of Protecting the Country might be interested in our Junlan?"

"That’s the Heavenly God we’re talking about! If he could become our son-in-law in the Shen Family, tsk tsk tsk, unimaginable! Unimaginable!"

"What’s so unimaginable about that? By then, our Shen Family can definitely become a prestigious family, even those people in the Imperial Capital will have to look up to us."

...

They discussed enthusiastically.

Listening to them, Lin Youhui found it extremely grating and, unable to take it anymore, she shouted, "Enough! I advise you to stop scheming about him and just be observers."

"Even the War God has to be utterly respectful in front of him, let alone big shots like the Warlord who could be killed off with just a thought. If he gets angered, do you think we would meet with any good fate?" Lin Youhui’s words intimidated everyone.

They could neither refute nor dared to.

Ding-dong.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Wanting to get away from these people, Lin Youhui took the initiative to go and open the door.

But when she opened the door, she found Shen Congming standing there.

Her face showed disgust as she spoke coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Youhui, this is my home after all, where else could I go if not here?"

"Shut up! You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say anything you want. You are no longer a member of the Shen Family!" Lin Youhui interrupted mercilessly.

"Lin Youhui, are you really going to be so heartless and disloyal? After all the years I’ve slaved away for the Shen Family, you just discard me like this?" Shen Congming asked for confirmation.

"Don’t try that nonsense with me, it won’t work!" Lin Youhui firmly rejected.

"Fine then, since it has come to this, I’ll lay it out straight for you. You want a divorce? Alright, but I’ve recently incurred a gambling debt of twenty million. Just give me the twenty million, and I’ll disappear, guaranteed to never show my face to the Shen Family again," Shen Congming set his terms.

Hearing this, Lin Youhui couldn’t help but laugh.

Feeling significantly relieved,

She directly called the security to throw Shen Congming out like trash.
