Chapter 108: Was It You Who Cured Him?

The next moment, Shen Sheng was kicked aside by Shen Yan’s foot.

Shen Sheng: ?

He had asked Shen Yan for help, so how come…

Shen Yan’s kick was quite forceful, almost knocking Shen Sheng unconscious.

“That’s enough. We can’t deal with him like this just yet,” Shen Yan said honestly.

After all, Shen Sheng was still a member of the Shen family. If Ye Yao Yao really injured him, it would mean going against the entire Shen clan.

This was a matter of the Shen family’s pride; they wouldn’t stand by idly.

Ye Yao Yao had already pushed Shen Sheng into the spotlight for quite some time, and many elders of the Shen family held grudges. If Ye Yao Yao were to cripple Shen Sheng, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Ye Yao Yao had naturally considered this. Since she was prepared to bear the consequences, she chose to act accordingly.

“Step aside.”

Shen Yan blocked her. “Calm down.”

“I’m calm. Otherwise, the moment he laid a hand on Feng Yuqi, I would have crippled him,” Ye Yao Yao glared at him.

“And what about them?” Shen Yan sighed helplessly. “You can handle the consequences, but what about them?”

“And Feng Yuqi and Yu Wanqing? Can you guarantee they won’t suffer?”

These words made Ye Yao Yao’s actions freeze sharply.

Of course, she had thought about all this.

But indeed, it was something she could not guarantee.

Hearing this, Ye Yao Yao instinctively glanced at Feng Yuqi and Yu Wanqing.

Both immediately spoke up to stop her. “Yao Yao, that’s enough. We know your heart is set on avenging us.”

“Boss, dirty hands.”

Shen Sheng, lying there pretending to faint: ?

He’s dirty?

Does Feng Yuqi even know how to speak?

Ye Yao Yao began a fierce internal struggle but ultimately had no choice but to listen to Shen Yan.

She was so angry she kicked over some nearby tools.

Ye Yao Yao left first, with Yu Wanqing following closely. “Yao Yao, wait for me!”

Feng Yuqi instinctively wanted to chase after them but, after struggling for a moment, chose to check with Shen Yan first. After receiving his approval, he went after them.

Ye Yao Yao and Yu Wanqing sat down in a nearby café.

“Yao Yao, don’t be so upset. We all see your intentions.”

Yu Wanqing nudged Ye Yao Yao. “There will be plenty of chances to deal with Shen Sheng later. No rush.”

How could she not know she had become a burden to Ye Yao Yao?

If it weren’t for them, Ye Yao Yao could have beaten Shen Sheng to her heart’s content by now.

She was clearly venting on their behalf, yet ended up being restrained because of them.

“I’m not angry.”

“Alright, you’re not angry.”

Yu Wanqing didn’t believe her for a second. “Come on, let’s see what to drink to cool down.”

Ye Yao Yao was indeed thirsty and ordered a drink.

Feng Yuqi sat beside Yu Wanqing, grinning foolishly at Ye Yao Yao.

Seeing this, Ye Yao Yao raised her hand, initially intending to pat Feng Yuqi’s head but, considering Yu Wanqing’s presence, instead patted his shoulder.

The three of them shared a rather pleasant atmosphere—until Shen Yan, having dealt with Shen Sheng, arrived, and the mood shifted.

Ye Yao Yao’s face immediately darkened; she didn’t want to see any Shen family members right now.

Yu Wanqing gently patted Ye Yao Yao, urging her to conceal her emotions.

Shen Yan clearly sensed Ye Yao Yao’s anger. He said nothing and quietly sat down.

There are no walls that don’t leak secrets.

The Shen family elders had found out about Ye Yao Yao injuring Shen Sheng.

Their impression of Ye Yao Yao grew increasingly negative.

Previously, they thought Ye Yao Yao was just an orphan from a charity home, unworthy of Shen Yan but persistently clinging to him, lowering the Shen family’s status.

After the two parted ways, the Shen family suffered even more because Ye Yao Yao was repeatedly thrust into the spotlight, becoming the subject of idle gossip.

And now she had the audacity to harm a Shen family descendant?

She must be courting death!

Shen Sheng had felt wronged before, but with the backing of the Shen elders, he suddenly felt emboldened.

That woman, Ye Yao Yao, was finished!

That day, after work, Ye Yao Yao was pursued by the Shen family elders.

She could only laugh at the news.

Ye Yao Yao had no mood to deal with this group of feudal-minded, tea-spilling people and refused without hesitation.

This only infuriated the Shen family more.

Yet they dared not act rashly.

They knew Ye Yao Yao could manipulate public opinion, and they didn’t want the Shen family to be thrown back into the spotlight.

Naturally, the burden of bringing Ye Yao Yao in for questioning fell on Shen Yan.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan merely cast a cold glance and then refused.

“Do you want me to do something so idiotic? Do you think I’m as stupid as you?” Shen Yan quickly distanced himself. “I’m not one of you. Whatever you plan to do, don’t drag me into it.”

“Second Young Master, that’s not how we speak,” said the messenger with a professional tone. “You’re still family, so naturally, you should stand with the Shen family through thick and thin.”

“That Miss Ye who trampled on the Shen family’s face has, by extension, trampled on yours.”

However, Shen Yan didn’t fall for it. After listening, he merely sneered, “I don’t consider myself one with the Shen family.”

“So much has happened, and I believe everyone knows—I’m not on your side.”

Shen Yan’s words stunned the messenger, who was taken aback.

After delivering countless messages, Shen Yan had always been respectful before.

This time, his firm stance truly surprised him!

But he didn’t care.

Such an attitude from Shen Yan naturally invited punishment.

After the messenger left, Shen Yan couldn’t help but laugh. That woman, Ye Yao Yao, really didn’t disappoint him—bold enough to openly show no respect.

When Ye Yao Yao finished work, she saw Shen Yan waiting downstairs. Thinking he was there about Shen Sheng’s matter, her expression immediately soured.

She turned to leave, only to be quickly caught up by Shen Yan.

“Leaving as soon as you see me?”

Ye Yao Yao stopped, her dislike for Shen Yan written all over her face. “You’re overthinking. I didn’t even see you.”

Hearing this, Shen Yan was momentarily stunned, then grabbed her hand. “Come on, I’ll take you out to eat.”

Ye Yao Yao didn’t refuse. They got in the car, and when ordering food, she didn’t hold back—she ordered a feast.

After ordering and starting to eat, she glanced at Shen Yan before speaking.

“If you’re here about Shen Sheng, I advise you to hold your tongue.”

“Why would I be here for him?” Shen Yan fed her some food. “Just enjoy your meal.”

Ye Yao Yao looked up. “If not for him, then why?”

At that question, she put down her chopsticks. She didn’t dare eat. Who knew what outrageous demands Shen Yan might make after this meal?

Seeing her so guarded, Shen Yan was both amused and infuriated.

What kind of image did he have in this woman’s mind?

Even just having a meal with him made her so wary?

But since the topic was out in the open, Shen Yan decided to be straightforward.

“Did you heal Feng Yuqi’s injury?” Shen Yan asked bluntly.
