Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 542: A Wedding for the Disabled Boss (17)
"Who is this man? He looks familiar!" Outside the Zhou family mansion, several men and women in gorgeous clothes saw the tall man holding Mo Shichu's hand and asked in confusion.
"It's that...the heir of the Shu family, Shu Shihuan!" Another man recognized Shu Shihuan and said in shock.
"Shu Shihuan? Is it him? Didn't he have a car accident and broke his leg and became disabled? He hasn't been seen for several years..." One of the young ladies said in surprise.
"It's him. I remember he came back from studying abroad a few years ago, and he looked like this. There's no doubt about it!" the man said with increasing certainty.
"His legs are actually healed. I thought he was really disabled. I didn't expect that Shu Shihuan is Shu Shihuan..."
…
Shu Shihuan had no idea how many people's attention his appearance had attracted. He now took Mo Shichu to see Mr. Zhou.
"Uncle Zhou, it's been a long time since we last met. I wish you good fortune and a long life." Shu Shihuan greeted the birthday boy, Mr. Zhou.
When Mr. Zhou saw him, he was very surprised: "Thank you for your blessing. You are... the child of the Shu family? Your leg is healed? That's great, very good!" He looked at Shu Shihuan's straight and slender legs and said, "You are a child with a bright future. You have suffered a lot, right? Now you are better. The hardship has paid off and you are finally getting better."
"Thanks to you, I am indeed better now." Shu Shihuan said politely.
It was only then that Elder Zhou noticed Mo Shichu standing next to him, and couldn't help asking, "This girl is really pretty. Who is she from? I don't think I've seen her before."
"Uncle Zhou, she is my wife, Mo Shichu. She has come here today specially to celebrate your birthday." Shu Shihuan introduced.
"Oh, welcome, welcome. I didn't expect you were married. Why don't I seem to have heard your father mention it?" Mr. Zhou asked with some confusion.
"When I got married to Shichu, my leg hadn't healed yet. I was in a very depressed period and had no mood to hold a wedding, so we decided to keep a low profile and just get the marriage certificate." Shu Shihuan lied and then looked at Mo Shichu lovingly, as if they really were a couple in a low period.
As expected, Zhou Lai was fooled by him. He nodded repeatedly and praised Mo Shichu: "So she is still the virtuous wife who accompanied you through the low period. You must not let her down. It is said that a wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be abandoned. The person who can stay by your side when you are down is the most worthy of cherishing. I hope you treat her well."
"You are right, I will definitely treat her well." Shu Shihuan agreed.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they parted ways with Mr. Zhou. After all, Mr. Zhou was the birthday boy and many people were waiting to talk to him, so they couldn't waste too much time.
Mo Shichu followed Shu Shihuan tonight just to be a vase. She walked around the banquet hall holding Shu Shihuan's hand, attracting the attention of a crowd of people. As expected, she really attracted a lot of attention for Shu Shihuan. So soon everyone knew that the Shu family's legendary disabled son could actually stand up and married an unknown beautiful woman.
"Aren't you going to socialize with those people?" Mo Shichu asked Shu Shihuan, who was comparing two small cakes seriously, and brought a fruit plate in front of him.
"No need. I just want to fill my stomach. I came back to change clothes as soon as I got off work this afternoon and came here. I'm so hungry now and I don't know when the dinner will start." Shu Shihuan said. He finally chose the mango-flavored cake.
This man no longer concealed the fact that he liked sweets in front of Mo Shichu. Of course, it was useless for him to hide it. After all, Mo Shichu had seen through it as early as the first time he was forced to go to the garden to bask in the sun. So he simply gave up and directly chose his favorite snacks.
"Be careful not to gain weight if you eat so many sweets. If you grow up to be a fat man with a bloated brain and intestines, I will divorce you even if you pay me a salary every month. I don't want to face an ugly person all day long." Mo Shichu reminded him.
Shu Shihuan paused, took another big bite of the cake, and said, "I'm in great shape. I work out five times a week, so I won't get fat! I even have six-pack abs. Do you believe it?"
Hearing this, Mo Shichu lifted his eyelids and glanced at his abdomen, saying disdainfully, "Only six? I already have six myself."
Shu Shihuan's abdomen tightened when he was looked at by her eyes. He was inexplicably nervous. However, when he heard her words, he immediately became unconvinced: "I don't believe it. How could you have abdominal muscles? Are you lying to me? Unless I see it with my own eyes."
"You wish!" Mo Shichu sneered.
At this time, a pretty woman in a backless red dress came over. Seeing Shu Shihuan, she was surprised and said, "You are Shihuan, right? That's great. I didn't believe them when they said your leg was healed, but now I see it with my own eyes and know it's true. Congratulations."
Shu Shihuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little confused, and said: "Thank you? But who are you?"
The smile on the red-dressed woman's face froze instantly. She obviously didn't expect Shu Shihuan to not remember her at all! This was embarrassing, but fortunately she reacted quickly, lifted the hair by her ear, and said with a smile: "I'm He Linglong, my brother is He Shaoming, and I have met you before with my brother."
"Oh, so you are He Shaoming's sister, then what do you want to talk to me about?" Shu Shihuan remembered He Shaoming, but He Shaoming was just a casual friend of his. He had interacted with He Shaoming several times before the car accident. This man even wanted to introduce his sister, He Linglong, to him, but after he had the car accident, He Shaoming never showed up again. It is conceivable how unreliable this "friend" was.
The woman in the red dress blushed and shook her head, saying, "Nothing much, I'm just happy to see you recover..."
As she spoke, she glanced at Shu Shihuan quickly, as if she had infinite admiration for him.
Unfortunately, her seductive eyes were cast to the blind man, and Shu Shihuan did not understand her unspoken affection at all, and said in a very uninteresting way: "Thank you, I appreciate it, but I want to live a warm world of two with my wife now, so..."
His meaning was very clear. He wanted He Linglong to be tactful and leave here, and not act like a light bulb and disturb them.
But He Linglong only heard him say that he had a wife. She was immediately shocked and blurted out, "Wife? When did you get married?"
Her voice became sharp and shrill because of shock, and even other people around her heard it. They couldn't help but look at her with strange eyes. Only then did she realize that something was wrong, and her face turned even redder with shame.
But she still refused to leave, staring at Shu Shihuan, as if she was waiting for his answer.
