His Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Fiance - Chapter 15 - Going out (1)
Chapter 15 – Going out (1)
Unfortunately, Shen Ziqiao was unable to reject Sheng Peiyin and Shen Ziyang’s simultaneous attacks. She soon found herself led to the most prosperous and bustling East Street in the capital. Sheng Peiyin is the boss behind the newly opened building. Today, it’s apparent that she didn’t invite Shen Ziqiao to comfort her, but rather to show off her wealth; she fully demonstrated a female lead’s halo in the flesh.
“There are a lot of guests today. It’s all right if you aren’t able to greet them properly.” Sheng Peiyin looked around her restaurant with satisfaction before turning to Shen Ziqiao to say this.
You can also refrain from greeting me! Keeping her wayward thoughts to herself, Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, “Sister Sheng is busy; you can go ahead. I’ll be able to find a seat myself.”
Sheng Peiyin gave her a disapproving look. “If you don’t want to be grounded again by old madam Shen, don’t be so willful. I’ve already arranged a room for you; you should go take brother Yang there with you.”
Shen Ziyang looked around in excitement and curiosity. He leaned against Sheng Peiyin and asked in a low voice, “Lady Sheng, I heard that the ninth prince is also here today… I truly admire his grace. Can I see him?”
“How did you know the ninth prince will come here today?” Sheng Peiyin was slightly surprised. She glanced at Shen Ziqiao at the corner of her eyes. And seeing that she wasn’t able to hear them, she felt a little calmer.
She didn’t inform Shen Ziqiao that the ninth prince would appear today. She didn’t want this straw bag to disturb him…yet.
Shen Ziyang proudly held out his chest and folded his arms across his chest. He proudly declared, “This young master has his methods. Elder sister Peiyin, let me meet the ninth prince.”
Sheng Peiyin replied hastily, “Keep your voice down, and I’ll let you know when he comes.”
“Good!” Shen Ziyang nodded with a smile.
“Jiao Jiao, let’s go upstairs to the wing room.” Sheng Peiyin called for Shen Ziqiao, pulling Shen Ziqiao’s attention back.
Shen Ziqiao recovered and smiled at Sheng Peiyin. “All right.”
She just saw Qi Zheng… Shen Ziqiao didn’t expect to see him here of all places. He looked to his left and right and sometimes stared blankly, genuinely looking as if he was mentally ill.
Sheng Peiyin had placed them in a wing near the window on the second floor. Busy with Qi Zheng’s unexpected presence, Shen Ziqiao belatedly found that the restaurant was spacious, and the decorations were not shabby. If it were the modern world, it should be akin to a five-star hotel.
“When we came up just now, I saw some guests going to the back. Where are they going?” Shen Ziqiao casually asked.
“Oh, those are the VIP rooms.” Sheng Peiyin was anxious that Shen Ziqiao would go to the back and hastily added, “It’s just some old folks who want a quiet environment to brew tea and play chess.”
Shen Ziqiao hummed in reply, looking particularly uninterested.
Sheng Peiyin ordered servants to prepare some snacks and drinks for them and then left on the pretext of having to attend to something.
Shen Ziyang was sitting on the drum chair, acting like an adult. As he pretended to taste the wine from his glass, he shook his head and said, “Good wine, good wine. I didn’t expect this miss Sheng to be such a promising woman. Jiao Jiao, aren’t you even ashamed to stand together with her?”
“I’m ashamed to be with you.” Shen Ziqiao bit back casually. She stood by the window, taking the scenery of the streets.
“You should be ashamed. I will take part in the children’s exams next year. The teacher even said that I am intelligent and will certainly do well in the future. How about you? You don’t even know a single character, and all you do is get into fights with other people. If it weren’t for your father and eldest brother, you wouldn’t even be here.”
Shen Ziyang despises Shen Ziqiao. As he grew up with the old madam Shen from an early age, the old madam instinctively influenced him. He even went as far as to disregard Shen Ziqiao as his sister at all, believing she is only a disgrace to the Shen family.
