Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Shen Family Is a Bottomless Pit

Fu Shihan was seeing these two together for the first time and realized that it had been a while since he had last seen Shen Xiaochen.

Recently, some news about Su Wanxin had been exposed, and Fu Shihan, upon investigating, found out that it was indeed Shen Xiaochen who had released it.

Some people don’t turn back until they hit the wall, while others, even after hitting it, don’t learn their lesson unless they crack their heads open.

Clearly, Shen Xiaochen belonged to the latter.

Fu Shihan saw them, and soon, they noticed him as well.

In the crowd, Shen Xiaochen turned and caught sight of him. Her eyes lit up, staring intently and greedily at him, unable to accept the reality.

She composed herself, took a deep breath, wanted to approach him to greet and converse at a close distance, but...

Shen Xiaochen turned her head to glance at the pig beside her, and instantly, a surge of anger welled up in her.

The one she liked was the person in the distance; she had liked him since junior high. Why...

Thinking of certain people and events, a ruthless glint flashed across Shen Xiaochen’s eyes.

Su Wanxin, oh Su Wanxin, if I can’t drag you into the muck and trample on your face, I will never rest in peace, even in death.

Shen Xiaochen was displeased, so she quickly downed a few glasses of alcohol. Her face turned slightly red, and buoyed by the liquor, she felt bolder.

Ding Kai Ze noticed his fiancée frequently glancing in a particular direction. Following her gaze, he saw Fu Shihan and his group.

In places like Imperial Capital, the divisions in social circles are rather clear. Even among the high society, there are boundaries, and it’s rare for outsiders to penetrate circles like that one.

A group of ’Crown Princes’ born from prominent families stood together; no need to mention the rest, their status alone was enough to draw the eye, attracting others toward them like bait.

Ding Kai Ze had liked Shen Xiaochen for many years and was naturally aware of some of the rumors involving her and Fu Shihan in the past. The reasons behind the Shen Family’s recent troubles also seemed related to Fu Shihan.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sought out Shen Wenguang to propose a marriage alliance for assistance so promptly.

By now, he had spent a considerable amount of money, yet the company was still struggling. To be honest, Ding Kai Ze was beginning to feel annoyed.

It felt like throwing money into a bottomless pit, with no visible effects. Even if the Ding Family was wealthy, this was not a sustainable way to operate.

However, if he were to stop investing now, Shen Xiaochen would certainly be unhappy, and might even break off the engagement...

This was an outcome Ding Kai Ze wished to avoid at all costs.

After a brief consideration, Ding Kai Ze stepped toward Fu Shihan.

"What are you doing?!"

Shen Xiaochen, seeing his move, hastily blocked him.

"Just going to say hello," Ding Kai Ze motioned towards Fu Shihan, "to chat for a bit."

Shen Xiaochen bit her lower lip, "What do you have to chat about with him?"

"Business matters, you women wouldn’t understand."

Shen Xiaochen clenched her teeth because of this remark. Watching Ding Kai Ze’s receding figure, she feared that he would say something unfavorable about her in front of Fu Shihan, so she had no choice but to follow close behind, eventually appearing before Fu Shihan.

Fu Shihan was conversing quietly with Fu Shili about something. Hearing someone call out to him from behind, he lazily looked back.

"Young Master Fu, long time no see."

Ding Kai Ze raised his glass with a smile, and Fu Shihan glanced at him and the person next to him, offering a slight smile and spoke in an agreeable tone—

"Long time no see, when’s the wedding?"
