Chapter 429: Chapter 0429: Coming For Her

Chu Ge smiled, indicating that he did not mind.

The restaurant was situated in the most bustling area of Su City’s downtown, with its decor leaning towards the ancient style, fresh and elegant, exuding charm.

As soon as Chu Ge walked in, he was captivated by the decor. He glanced around, his dark pupils twinkling with appreciation.

Shen Fang had reserved a room beforehand, and at the moment, the restaurant manager was supervising the front desk while waiting for their arrival.

The manager saw a group of people come in, led by an elderly man about sixty years of age, and for a moment, he was somewhat stunned, failing to recognize that this person was Shen Fang.

"What, you don’t recognize me?" spoke Shen Fang, with a hint of anger in his tone.

The manager suddenly snapped back to reality, looking at Shen Fang in shock, "Mr. Shen? Your health has improved?"

The manager was extremely shocked. He had also often come here to dine before, but each time Shen Fang’s complexion was poor, and on several occasions, he even came in a wheelchair. How could he look as spirited and radiant as he did today?

Shen Hua said jollily from the side: "Manager, you’re not mistaken, my father has completely recovered."

The manager numbly nodded, repeating "It’s good, it’s good..." several times.

He murmured to himself a few times, and while Shen Fang and the others were immersed in their joy, they failed to notice the manager’s strange expression.

However, Chu Ge noticed it. His piercing gaze fixated on the manager, seeing his eyes flicker rapidly, obviously his brain was spinning at high speed, thinking about something.

But what made Chu Ge curious was why the recovery of the Shen Family Head would concern the manager so much as to cause such attention.

The manager personally took Chu Ge and the others to their reserved room, instructed the wait staff to take good care of them, and then went back to attend to other matters.

Chu Ge was the last one to enter the room, his gaze remaining locked on the manager, his sharp intuition making him feel that there was something amiss with the manager.

Shen Yaoyao looked at Chu Ge standing at the doorway in a daze and approached with some puzzlement, patting his shoulder, "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Ge came back to his senses, shaking his head, "Nothing."

Shen Yaoyao looked up at him, the sunlight was nice today, the scattered sunlight shining through the glass window onto Chu Ge, casting a faint halo around him, enchanting and full of mystery.

Shen Yaoyao felt another flutter in her heart, she wanted to say thank you to Chu Ge, but she felt that would make her seem too sentimental, and it also seemed to make their relationship appear distant...

Chu Ge, seeing her awkwardness, raised his hand to gently ruffle her hair, his palm touching her soft locks, transmitting a warm heat, "Alright, let’s go in. Grandfather and the others are waiting for us."

These words made Shen Yaoyao blossom with joy. At that moment, she almost truly believed they were a couple, then accompanying their parents for a meal.

Shen Yaoyao’s cheeks were shyly flushed, a blush spreading over them, her head slightly bowed, completely devoid of her usual arrogant and domineering demeanor, eager and well-behaved, resembling a docile little girlfriend.

The interaction between the two was observed by everyone in the room; Shen Fang and Shen Hua exchanged glances and then chuckled heartily.

The expressions on Shen Tong and Shen Mimi’s faces looked a bit sour.

Although Shen Mimi had snagged the son of Dang City’s richest man, up until now she had only clung to a title, as it seemed that this Lin had never actually contributed anything to the Shen Family.

Even recently, Chu Ge has always managed to be one step ahead, leaving Shen Tong feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He felt that his daughter’s boyfriend was no match for Chu Ge, whom Shen Yaoyao had found.

Yaoyao’s complexion looked particularly sour due to her frustration at being unable to find any evidence of Chu Ge’s infidelity. She was determined to find proof of Chu Ge with another woman, and when that time came, given Shen Yaoyao’s intolerant nature, she would surely kick Chu Ge to the curb!

In Shen Mimi’s heart, after what had happened with Zhao Wuji and Zhang Chenggong, her mental scales had quietly tipped in favor of Chu Ge. In her mind, she too believed that Chu Ge was many times better than Lin.

The six people in the room each had different emotions, but since they were all there to celebrate Shen Fang’s birthday, they did not make their feelings too obvious.

Elsewhere, after the manager had arranged everything, he made his way alone to the top floor of the restaurant. On the top floor was a single presidential suite, lavishly decorated, filled with gaudy embellishments.

On the sofa in the suite’s living room lounged a sultry-looking woman dressed only in a silk nightgown, half-reclining and resting with her eyes closed.

Hearing someone enter, she slowly opened her eyes, showing a flash of annoyance at the base of her eyes, seemingly displeased that the manager had disturbed her rest.

The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. There was nothing to be done about the serious situation, and he had to steel himself to enter.

"Lady Xiao, Shen Fang and his family have come to dine."

Yes, this alluring woman was none other than Honda Sakura, the matriarch of the Xiao Family.

She slowly sat up, tossing her voluminous shoulder-length hair back, her fair shoulders exposed, and spoke with a careless air, "So they’ve come. What does it matter? A man who’s about to die isn’t worth all this fuss."

The manager said timidly, "Lady Xiao, the problem is that although he is supposed to be close to death, he looks like a normal person. He even seems to have grown quite a few years younger, and his body seems much fitter. He doesn’t look like someone who’s gravely ill at all."

Honda Sakura was visibly startled. "Are you serious?"

The manager nodded firmly. "Absolutely certain!"

Honda Sakura pondered for a moment. Because she had received people from her family clan, she could not make any rash moves now, but she also could not let the situation evolve uncontrolled.

"What exactly is going on?" Honda Sakura sat up straight, legs now lowered, and because she sat up so abruptly, her already scanty nightgown rode up to reveal long, pale legs exposed to the air.

The manager’s eyes went straight, but given the mood, he could only dryly swallow his saliva and take a covert glance.

"I have sent people to investigate the specifics, but now that they are dining downstairs, should we proceed as usual..."

The manager hesitated.

Honda Sakura thought for a moment and then shook her head, "Now that Shen Fang has recovered, we should no longer poison his food. It would be too easy to expose us."

The manager nodded in agreement.

"And another thing, keep a close watch and try to extract some information from their conversations!"

The trap she had laid out a long time ago had been thwarted time and again, making Honda Sakura wonder if she was being targeted.

One was Tang Haowan, the Old Master; one was Shen Wei Qian, and now even Shen Fang was well...
