There were also people in the crowd who recognized Shi Yu, and one approached him with particular excitent, "Mr. Shi, what a coincidence, you’re here too?"
Shi Yu glanced at him and said nothing.
The man nodded and bowed, "Had I known Mr. Shi was in Du City, I would have co to visit you long ago."
Shi Yu couldn’t recall ever eting this person, so he just responded coldly with a hum.
As if encouraged, the man prattled on, attempting to make Shi Yu rember his na.
But Shi Yu had no interest in such people; when conversing, he would seldom say more than three words at a ti.
"Mr. Shi’s attendance at this banquet coincides with the organizer sharing the sa surna; are you related?"
Because of the deep-seated rift between Shi Yu and Shi Yaoguang, Shi Yu never discussed their relationship in front of others.
The other person may not have known that Shi Yu and Shi Yaoguang were father and son, and so he probed for information, intentionally or not.
This ti Shi Yu did react to the man’s words, but his attitude was icy to the extre: "Don’t know him."
The man wanted to ask sothing else, but impatience was already showing on Shi Yu’s face.
Not knowing where he had gone wrong in his approach and not daring to say more,
he had no choice but to walk away, embarrassed and disappointed. After all, Shi Yu was a powerful figure capable of turning the tide, not soone a small-ti business manager could afford to offend.
At this mont, Shen Cheng was lingering in front of a table of fine alcohol.
From a distance, Ye Jin caught a glimpse of her figure.
Recognizing her at first sight, Ye Jin excused herself from the people beside her and walked towards Shen Cheng.
She quickly approached and casually handed Shen Cheng a glass of alcohol, "We’re not strangers, drink if you want to, why the concern?"
Shen Cheng looked up at her without taking it, "Are we that close?"
Ye Jin’s expression remained unchanged, her smile enchanting, "By relation, you should properly call ’mother-in-law’."
Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng chuckled, "Yes, you do look much older than , but, are you qualified to be my mother-in-law?"
"..."
"On a good day, I might reluctantly call you ’aunt’, but on a bad one, I’d call you an ’old woman’."
"You! ..."
Ye Jin was choked with anger.
At her age, it was a rather awkward ti; although much younger than Shi Yaoguang, she was still in her thirties.
She couldn’t compare with the youthful Shen Cheng, and at this ti, she feared most being called old.
She didn’t expect Shen Cheng to say such things to her!
Just then, Shi Yu, who had realized that Shen Cheng wasn’t by his side, looked around.
Upon seeing Shen Cheng and Ye Jin together, he strode over in their direction.
When he was still a few steps away, he saw Ye Jin with two glasses of alcohol, one of which seed to be for Shen Cheng.
Shi Yu went over, wrapped his arm around her and asked in a low voice, "Where are you running off to?"
Shen Cheng squird in his arms, "I ca over to sll the alcohol."
Ignoring Ye Jin beside him, Shi Yu gently stroked Shen Cheng’s hair, "Cheap alcohol, don’t even sll it."
Ye Jin, on the side, was irritated by his comnt, but having honed her acting skills over the years, she smiled affectionately, "Xiao Yu, I really didn’t expect you to co back to celebrate the marriage anniversary of and your dad..."
Ye Jin couldn’t truly bring herself to despise Shi Yu.
Shi Yu couldn’t be bothered to even glance at her, his arm firmly around Shen Cheng’s shoulder, and turned to leave.
But suddenly, an exclamation was heard from behind.
Shen Cheng looked back and saw Ye Jin’s neckline was wet, clearly from spilled alcohol.
She was wearing a low-cut white dress that now clung to her chest, mildly suggestive.
