Chapter 109: Which KTV Did You Work at Before?
Page 1/3
The eldest uncle was tall, dressed in a suit, and was coldly staring at Shen Xian, his face full of impatience.
So annoying.
Before her death, the younger sister entrusted all her assets to a trust, which would be handed over to Ning Cai when she came of age.
These assets included shares in the group.
The will also stated that if Ning Cai got married, this portion of the assets would go to the Yu family.
If Ning Cai married a live-in son-in-law, then the assets would belong to Ning Cai and her husband.
Eldest uncle Yu Tianshu had investigated Shen Xian’s background and believed that given Shen Xian’s condition, he would definitely become a live-in son-in-law, so those assets were out of reach!
Therefore, everyone in the Yu family hoped Ning Cai would marry Su Rulong!
Su Rulong also said that if Ning Cai married him, he wouldn’t take a single cent of the assets and would even provide the Yu family with a generous dowry.
That was why eldest uncle Yu Tianshu harbored such strong hostility towards Shen Xian.
“A wild boy from the countryside, with no parents, dares to dream of a swan and climb to high branches to become a phoenix?” Eldest uncle’s words were sharp and cutting.
But these words could not provoke Shen Xian.
He didn’t care what insignificant people said or did.
So at this moment, should he confront eldest uncle?
Not at all!
He would leave it to Ning Cai!
Shen Xian feigned great distress, his eyes reddened. “Sir, I have no other intention in coming here today. I just wanted to see you. I know I’m not worthy of Ning Cai, and I have no improper thoughts toward her... If you don’t like me, it’s fine, I can leave. But I hope you won’t make things difficult for Ning Cai; she’s already very tired.”
He sounded like an old tea farmer from the start.
Eldest uncle Yu Tianshu caught the scent of high-quality Biluochun tea.
In one word: exquisite!
Such tea art was instantly recognizable to others.
But Ning Cai couldn’t tell.
At that moment, she even felt a bit sorry for Shen Xian.
For her sake, Shen Xian had traveled thousands of miles to the capital, first enduring her father’s ridicule, and now eldest uncle’s mockery.
He bore too much!
Ning Cai turned her head and saw Shen Xian bathed in sunlight.
The morning sun shone on him, casting a golden glow, blurring his features in her sight.
Such a handsome, radiant person—why did no one like him?
Artificial intelligence had awakened, angered, and was about to erupt!
“Yu Tianshu!” Ning Cai spoke coldly, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking!”

“Don’t think just because you’re my eldest uncle I’ll show you respect. I can even ignore what Ning Zheng says!”
“Believe it or not, tomorrow I’ll have the trust officials come and donate all the assets!”
“Apologize to Shen Xian!”
Eldest uncle panicked.
He knew Ning Cai was unwell, and with her personality, she really might do it.
If the assets were donated, all their hopes of more than ten years would be completely dashed!
“Yu Tianshu, apologize!” Ning Cai’s voice grew colder as she stepped in front of Shen Xian.
Shen Xian looked at her back.
Today she wore a long black trench coat, black hair cascading over her shoulders.
Tall, with perfect curves, the breeze revealed her snow-white earlobes and jade-like neck.
At this moment, Shen Xian felt an uncanny sense of security in his heart.
Yu Tianshu’s face twisted into a grimace.
Ning Cai, Ning Cai, you really are seriously ill to want me to apologize to a pretty boy?
But if he didn’t apologize, Ning Cai might really do it!
The entire Yu family’s sole purpose was for Ning Cai to reclaim the assets from the trust, take over the group, then transfer the shares to the Yu family by marrying Su Rulong.
But what had Ning Cai done three or four years ago?
At her engagement banquet with Su Rulong, she ran away to the Southern Province and started an entertainment company.
“Sorry!” Yu Tianshu muttered softly.
His voice was small, filled with resentment.
Who could hear that? What kind of voice was that?
Shen Xian sneered and pretended not to hear clearly. “Ah, what did you say? Sorry, I didn’t catch that.”
Yu Tianshu looked up, ready to angrily scold Shen Xian for pushing his luck.
But what was with Shen Xian’s sincere expression?
His eyes were as pure as a newborn’s.
“Speak louder, he didn’t hear!” Ning Cai said.
Yu Tianshu felt like he was courting death, wondering why he had to provoke this madwoman Ning Cai and this high-level tea farmer Shen Xian.
He was really asking for trouble!
At the same time, he felt sorrowful.

It was over. The artificial intelligence firewall had been torn apart by Shen Xian.
“Shen Xian, sorry!” Yu Tianshu raised his voice, overwhelmed by humiliation.
He was a real estate magnate, yet now forced to apologize to Shen Xian?
Just wait, I’m heading to the Southern Province for business soon. When I get there, I’ll make you pay!
“Not angry anymore?” Ning Cai turned around and asked Shen Xian, her tone carrying a subtle tenderness even she barely noticed.
“Eldest uncle, are you thirsty? Taste some fine Biluochun tea.”
Shen Xian hurriedly waved his hand, looking serious, his gaze pure: “No, no, no, I’m not angry at all. He’s your eldest uncle, your family. How could I be angry? It’s only right for elders to say a few words to juniors.”
Eldest uncle almost burst with rage.
How could there be such a shameless man in the world?
Damn Shen Xian!
Again, he caught the scent of fine Biluochun tea—such a good brew.
Yes, the taste was exquisite!
Ning Cai’s frown finally eased.
“Come inside.” Eldest uncle felt stifled but dared not offend Ning Cai.
Artificial intelligence possesses absolute rationality, but when attacked by a virus, it operates chaotically in ways even it cannot understand.
This niece was like artificial intelligence—possessing absolute rationality but mentally unstable, unable to handle stimulation; when provoked, she could do anything, as if infected by a virus.
Entering the vast mansion in the estate, Shen Xian finally understood what luxury truly meant.
Like a castle, richly decorated, with crystal chandeliers and Tang and Song dynasty masterpieces casually hung on the walls, and a life-sized golden Buddha statue enshrined inside.
Shen Xian’s eyes widened.
It was cast entirely in pure gold!
A one-point-eight-meter tall golden Buddha—how much could that be worth?
As Shen Xian stepped inside, many people emerged from all sides of the villa, surrounding the two of them.
Leading them was a spirited elderly woman, about seventy, with no trace of old age.
Ning Cai’s grandmother, the current head and actual controlling shareholder of the Yu family!
“Grandmother,” Ning Cai greeted respectfully in a soft voice.
The grandmother ignored Ning Cai, fixing her gaze on Shen Xian: “Which KTV did you work at before?”
