Chapter 417: Chapter 0417: So Respectful

The server was rebuked out of the blue, growing even more dissatisfied with Chu Ge and Shen Yaoyao. He glowered at them, "If the two of you won’t leave, then I will call someone to escort you out."

Shen Yaoyao’s face flushed with anger, and she turned around to glare at Shen Mimi. This jerk was doing it on purpose!

"Shen Mimi, enough is enough!" Shen Yaoyao strode forward, pointing at Shen Mimi and demanding, "During the years I’ve been outside, have you been spreading rumors about me in Su City?"

Otherwise, how could these people only know about her, Shen Mimi, and not her, Shen Yaoyao!

Shen Mimi stood there with her arms crossed, somewhat arrogantly. At this moment, she really wished Grandfather could see the temperament of the granddaughter he had always adored since childhood, to witness Shen Yaoyao causing such a scene in front of distinguished guests, completely lacking in manners!

"Shen Yaoyao, do not be presumptuous in front of distinguished guests!" As Shen Yaoyao’s paternal uncle, Shen Tong naturally stepped in to do what an elder should do, reproach. After chastising Shen Yaoyao, he turned to Zhao Wuji with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhao, I am truly sorry for this embarrassment. This is my older brother’s daughter, a bit reckless since childhood, rebellious. She ran away from home a few years ago and never returned until these past few days, out of the blue. Her arrival even led to my father being hospitalized again—alas, such misfortune for our family."

Shen Yaoyao was so angry she wanted to jump. She had always known that this uncle disliked her and didn’t have a good opinion of her, but she had never imagined he would belittle her like this in front of strangers! Even filled with animosity and ridicule towards her.

Was this still the uncle she knew?

Shen Yaoyao, both angry and sad, asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Shen Tong glared at her furiously, "Enough! Hold your tongue! You seem to be in a bad mood, so take your boyfriend and go home! Don’t embarrass us in front of Mr. Zhao!"

In truth, Shen Tong simply did not want Shen Yaoyao to dine with Zhao Wuji and him.

He wanted to secure the cooperation with Zhao Wuji all to himself, only hindered by a lack of reason to drive Shen Yaoyao away.

Now, witnessing Shen Yaoyao’s uneducated display in front of an esteemed guest seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Shen Mimi also chimed in, "Sister, you should go back first. It’s indecent for the guests to see you like this."

Shen Tong glanced at Zhao Wuji, noticing no anger on his face, he finally relaxed a bit, quickly saying, "Mr. Zhao, please come inside, and we’ll have my daughter handle the situation here."

Zhao Wuji glanced at Shen Yaoyao, feeling that she looked familiar, but for some reason, he couldn’t quite remember.

Shen Yaoyao caught his look, and with anger already in her heart, she didn’t bother to feel intimidated. She glared at him fiercely, then turned to Chu Ge, "Let’s go."

At that moment, Zhao Wuji noticed Chu Ge following her gaze. When he saw Chu Ge standing there indifferently, he had a moment of astonishment, then quickly stepped forward, "Mr. Chu? What brings you here?"

Chu Ge nodded slightly in greeting, "I was invited by someone who said we’d come here today to welcome you, so I came to take a look, but what I found..."

Was being treated as a fraud and being asked to leave this place!

Zhao Wuji shivered at the revelation, awkwardly explaining, "Mr. Chu, please don’t speak so harshly. Lin is a relative from afar. Initially, I didn’t want to come, but it was hard to refuse my family’s wishes."

Zhao Wuji, who had seemed so haughty earlier, now gathered up all his pride and stood respectfully in front of Chu Ge, with an almost ingratiating air.

Everyone present, including the manager and the waiter, was stunned.

What’s going on here?

Lin was especially confused and stepped forward, asking with some puzzlement, "Uncle, do you know him? Why are you so respectful to some loser?"

He’s the chairman of Modu Tianrui Bank! So many people wish they could curry favor with him but never get the chance!

Yet now he’s being so deferential to a young guy, which really baffles him!

Beside him, Shen Tong and Shen Mimi exchanged glances. They initially thought Chu Ge was just bragging about knowing Zhao Wuji, but now they were shocked to see Zhao Wuji treating him with such respect.

Instantly, both Shen Tong and Shen Mimi felt their faces throb with pain, as if they were being metaphorically slapped.

The manager was very observant; seeing this young man receive such respect from a distinguished guest of the Shen Family, he knew the background must be significant. If even the Xiao Shen Family was more than he could afford to offend, let alone the distinguished guest of the Shen Family.

He quickly approached with a sycophantic smile, fawning over Chu Ge, "It’s my fault for not recognizing a great man when I see one, and I’ve offended you, sir. I hope you’ll overlook my blunder and not stoop to my level!"

Chu Ge didn’t bother with him, not even sparing him a single glance. He directly said to Zhao Wuji, "Mr. Zhao, since you’re busy, I won’t trouble you any further. I’ll take my leave."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Upon seeing Chu Ge was truly upset, Zhao Wuji hurriedly moved forward to stop him, "Mr. Chu, don’t be angry; I came to Su City specifically to see you."

Chu Ge paused slightly in his steps. Naturally, he wasn’t angry with Zhao Wuji; he just didn’t want to see the manager and Lin’s faces anymore, which were quite nauseating to him.

"What did you come to see me for?" Chu Ge raised his eyes in surprise. Generally, any matters would have been communicated via phone calls, but now he had come in person, it must be something serious.

Zhao Wuji glanced around, then instructed the manager, "Prepare another private room, make sure it’s elegant, you got it?"

The manager quickly nodded and went to do it.

"Lin, you go have lunch with Mr. Shen and Miss Shen first. I won’t join you this noon."

After speaking, he gestured to Chu Ge to follow him, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be disclosed to more people."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ge nodded his head. He looked up at Shen Yaoyao who was still angry and said, "You go back first; I’ll come find you after I’m done here."

Shen Yaoyao simply acknowledged. She had no appetite to stay here anyway, and since Chu Ge had spoken, she was happy to leave.

In the end, only Lin, Shen Tong, and Shen Mimi were left standing in the corridor, unsure what to do.

What annoyed and embarrassed Shen Mimi the most was that, despite their deep respect for Zhao Wuji, in the end, Zhao Wuji showed so much deference to Chu Ge.

This clearly meant that she was ranked even lower than Shen Mimi!

Shen Mimi looked at Lin resentfully, "Lin, are you not on good terms with your uncle? Look at how he’s so respectful and reverent to a young man who’s only in his twenties."
