Chapter 412: Chapter 0412: A Test, A Test (Third Update)

Shen Tong snorted softly, waving his hand dismissively, "I can’t afford to be called your ’Second Uncle.’"

"Enough!" Shen Fang scolded in a low voice, "What kind of commotion are you starting here! Yaoyao just got back today! Can’t we all just be happy together as a family? And what if she calls you ’Second Uncle’? What difference does it make if she doesn’t? Just because she doesn’t call you that, does it mean you’re not her Second Uncle?"

Seeing the Old Master getting angry, Shen Tong closed his mouth, speechless. He was just speaking off the cuff, what’s the big deal.

Shen Mimi was listening to her grandfather scolding her father and she wasn’t pleased either. Her grandfather has always favored Shen Yaoyao since they were young, even though she is now engaged to the son of the wealthiest man in neighboring Dang City, and the Old Master has not uttered a word about it, showed no stance whatsoever.

"Grandpa, Yaoyao brought home her boyfriend today, you can’t just let them stand there."

Shen Mimi said unwillingly, she was determined to outshine Shen Yaoyao!

At this moment, Shen Fang’s gaze landed on Chu Ge. A sharp light flickered in his murky eyes as he sized up Chu Ge, then he asked, "You are Yaoyao’s boyfriend?"

Chu Ge glanced at Shen Yaoyao, and after receiving a slight nod from her, he responded, "Hello Old Master, I’m Chu Ge, Shen Yaoyao’s boyfriend."

"How long have you two been together?" Shen Fang asked somewhat sternly, as if conducting an interrogation.

Chu Ge knew what the Old Master was getting at, but he and Shen Yaoyao hadn’t previously agreed on a timeline. What if he made a mistake, and their stories didn’t match? Wouldn’t that expose them?

Su Fanglan felt that asking questions right away was a bit impolite, but the Old Master was doing it for Yaoyao’s sake, so she could only subtly intervene, "Dad, what are you doing? Would you like to interrogate them right off the bat? Why don’t you let them sit down first?"

Seeing this, Shen Yaoyao also nodded again and again. She stood up, walked over to Chu Ge, and pulled him to an empty spot on the sofa beside her, then spoke to Shen Fang, "Grandpa, if you have any questions, you can ask me, don’t scare him."

Shen Fang opened his mouth, visibly frustrated. This foolish girl, always rushing to speak for others! Women can’t be kept from meddling!

"Fine, I was just asking. You’ve been away from home for so long without keeping in touch, how have you been? Everyone only knows through Bingtong. But I’m curious, she didn’t tell me you were dating either?"

Shen Fang had a good impression of Mu Bingtong and didn’t believe she would deceive him; it’s Yaoyao who’s been sly since she was young.

At first, when Shen Mimi told him that Shen Yaoyao was in a relationship, he didn’t believe her, but now that Shen Yaoyao’s boyfriend was right in front of him, he suddenly felt like the pig he’d raised had been offered up to someone else’s cabbage. Naturally, his gaze on Chu Ge wasn’t too friendly!

Shen Yaoyao didn’t expect that her grandfather had been in contact with Sister Bingtong all along and didn’t quite know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the situation, Chu Ge started to explain slowly, "Old Master, Yaoyao is a good girl. I chased her for a long time before I won her over. I haven’t met Sister Bingtong yet, so I guess Yaoyao hasn’t told Sister Bingtong about our relationship either."

Calling her ’Sister Bingtong’ made Chu Ge feel uncomfortable in his heart, but at this crucial juncture, he had no other choice.

If he didn’t follow Shen Yaoyao’s instructions, and later she told Mu Bingtong about his situation in Su City, the consequences would be more troublesome.

"Grandpa, I heard from Yaoyao that Mr. Chu even owns a company, in Shanghai at that."

Shen Mimi added fuel to the fire, "I have no idea what kind of business Mr. Chu is into, or how big his company is."

Shen Yaoyao knew that Shen Mimi was trying to find a way to compare and compete with her. She glared at Shen Mimi irritably, "What does the type of company he runs or the size of his business have to do with you? And what about you? Where is that nouveau riche boyfriend of yours? Why didn’t I see him coming over today?"

As soon as Shen Mimi heard this, her face darkened in an instant, "What nouveau riche? He is the son of the wealthiest man, a golden boy born with a silver spoon!"

Shen Yaoyao pursed her lips and stopped continuing the conversation with her.

Shen Fang wasn’t too concerned with the sisters’ conversation. All his thoughts were now on Chu Ge. Hearing Shen Mimi say he also owned a company, he felt somewhat surprised.

This young man, who looked to be just over twenty years old, was actually able to start his own company in a place as fiercely competitive as Shanghai. It was truly remarkable.

Now, Shen Fang became even more curious about Chu Ge. He looked at Chu Ge, his curiosity apparent as he asked, "May I know what kind of business you’re in? Although the Shen Family doesn’t amount to much in Su City, we are acquainted with the Mu Family in Shanghai. You’ve heard of them, haven’t you? Jinxiu Group."

Chu Ge’s lips twitched, ’heard of it’ was an understatement.

"I’ve heard that Sister Bingtong has recently acquired quite a few shares from large-scale companies, bringing Jinxiu Group to its peak, propelling it into Shanghai’s top ten. Such prowess for someone so young, but due to some family issues, it’s tough on her."

As Shen Fang spoke, he felt a sense of pity and started to feel sorry for Mu Bingtong.

"Now that you are dating Yaoyao, we, the Shen Family, surely need to show some gesture of good will. What’s the name of your company? I’ll have Bingtong look after it for you."

Shen Fang meant well with his words, and Chu Ge knew Shen Fang had no other intentions, but he didn’t own any company. The story about him owning a company was a fabrication by Shen Yaoyao.

Therefore, Chu Ge did not rush to refuse the Old Master’s offer, instead turning his gaze towards Shen Yaoyao, looking somewhat puzzled at her, uncertain how to continue the conversation.

He had no idea how to handle such situations, having never met his parents.

So, he had no choice but to toss the problem back to Shen Yaoyao.

"Grandpa, aren’t you being a bit premature with your offer? I still want to test him a bit more!"

Shen Yaoyao rebuked, slightly embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fang laughed heartily and nodded continuously, "Yes, yes, I am too anxious."

Relieved internally, Chu Ge was pondering how to extricate himself from the situation when he saw a figure rapidly pass by his side, then he heard Shen Mimi’s excited voice as she looked at the man who had appeared at the entrance, her eyes lighting up.

"Lin, you’ve arrived!" Shen Mimi said gleefully as she affectionately linked her arm through his, "Why are you so late? Everyone’s been waiting for you for ages."

The man called Lin had his jet-black hair meticulously styled, with a shimmering touch to it. He wore branded clothes, and the branded watch and gold chain around his wrist and neck almost seemed as if he was afraid others wouldn’t recognize his wealth.
