After Being Betrayed, I Married a Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 60 - : Unbelievably Obedient
Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Unbelievably Obedient
“Go ahead, I’ll handle things here,” Ye Shu said with a resigned wave of her hand.
“But…”
“Ow, it hurts, it hurts so much. Zifeng, Zifeng, I can’t take it anymore. If grandma dies here, it’ll definitely be because Ye Shu infuriated me to death, you all must bear witness for me!”
Seeing that Ye Zifeng was reluctant to take her away, Ji Chunni immediately started making a scene, clutching her left chest and wailing heart-rendingly at the onlookers.
“Grandma, that’s enough!” Ye Zifeng, young and thin-skinned, was so embarrassed by Ji Chunni’s antics that he wished he could just crawl into a hole.
He grabbed Ji Chunni, pushed through the crowd, and walked out.
...
Ye Shu silently shook her head, withdrew her gaze, squeezed out of the crowd, and found a quiet corner to call Sun Nanjue.
At Rose Residence, Shuian Blue Bay.
Sheng Shaochen lay back amidst a pile of broken glassware.

The harsh light from above cast numerous illusions around him.
Next to him, on the low sofa, a cellphone rang incessantly.
Sheng Shaochen frowned. The ringtone was really annoying; he didn’t remember setting such a ringtone for incoming calls.
With a swipe, his long hand grabbed the cellphone from the sofa.
The name displayed on the incoming call made his eyebrows furrow deeply—Ah Chen’s elixir?
When had he ever labeled a contact with such a name?
Sheng Shaochen fiddled with the phone, only to realize that this wasn’t his phone at all.
The case, covered in the prints of a beautiful woman, was clearly something Sun Nanjue had left behind.
Sheng Shaochen didn’t have the habit of prying into others’ privacy, and was about to toss the phone back onto the sofa.
But then the ringtone rang out again.
‘Ah Chen’s elixir’—those words inexplicably attracted Sheng Shaochen.
His fingers, almost unconsciously, slid across the answer button.
“Hello, Sun Nanjue, do you remember telling me that as long as I could handle Sheng Shaochen, you would do whatever I asked?”
No sooner had the phone connected than Ye Shu’s anxious voice came through.
Sheng Shaochen’s expression darkened.
So, that brat Sun Nanjue had actually made such an agreement with Ye Shu?
“Mrs. Sheng is really good at making deals!” Sheng Shaochen’s voice, carried through radio waves, reached Ye Shu’s ears.
Ye Mansion!
Ye Shu’s fingertips clenched tightly around the phone, her heart pounding like thunder drums.
Why was it Sheng Shaochen who answered the phone?
“People say, ‘when near vermilion, one becomes red.’ Being with Mr. Sheng these days, if I haven’t learned the essence, I should at least learn some basics, so that I am worthy of the title Mrs. Sheng, don’t you think, Mr. Sheng?”
Ye Shu suppressed the panic in her heart, trying to make her voice sound coy and appeasing.
Ye Mansion was the last gift her father had left her; she had to keep it.
“Mrs. Sheng does look quite obedient when begging,” Sheng Shaochen’s voice was deep, revealing no particular emotion.
This only made Ye Shu even more panicked.
She bit her lip harder, lowering her stance even further, “Mr. Sheng must have heard the saying, ‘he who lives under a roof must bow his head.'”
“So, Mrs. Sheng wants to bow to every roof she sees, but she just refuses to bow her head to Mr. Sheng?” Sheng Shaochen’s tone now clearly revealed a hint of irritation.
Ye Shu’s brows furrowed slightly.
So, was Sheng Shaochen blaming her for not directly seeking him, this great Buddha, and instead going around asking Sun Nanjue?
Yet he didn’t consider how hard he was to deal with.
Asking him to take her to see her brother, the torments he imposed nearly drove her to despair.
Ye Shu pressed her somewhat swollen temples, took a deep breath, “Mr. Sheng, your roof is too high, I fear that while bowing, you might not even notice my presence. So, I had no choice but to…”
