Why does it sound like a CEO deliberately sabotaging someone for his niece?
Peng Yuan's lips twitched, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shangguan Wu tilted her head innocently and asked him, "Is it hard to answer?"
Peng Yuan avoided her gaze, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
Shangguan Wu feigned sudden realization and nodded slightly, saying, "I understand. You don't need to say anything more. Lead the way."
"..."
Peng Yuan was stunned!
He was internally screaming: "No, I didn't say anything! What do you know, Miss Fourth? The CEO didn't harm his friends for your sake, okay? Stop trying to make yourself look good!"
However, Peng Yuan only dared to mutter to himself, while on the surface he still had to smile and lead the way for this old lady.
As they approached the elevator, two people on the other side of the golden dragon-carved pillar also walked to the elevator next door.
Peng Yuan's eyes flashed with shock when he saw the newcomer. He stepped forward and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Chen. It's a pleasure to meet you here. I'm the secretary to the president of Shangguan Group..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a "ding" sound!
The elevator doors opened, and the woman referred to as President Chen stepped into the elevator. She didn't even glance at Peng Yuan, but she turned her head to look at Shangguan Wu and nodded to her.
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow in surprise and nodded slightly.
Peng Yuan was startled again. The Fourth Miss actually knew President Chen?
At this moment, the elevator doors in front of Shangguan Wu opened, and she led Du Wei and Liu Qing inside, with Peng Yuan quickly following behind.
In the elevator next door.
"Mr. Chen, do you know the fourth young lady of the Shangguan family?"
Chen Xintong said, "I don't know him."
The secretary looked surprised: "So how did you greet her?"
Chen Xintong smiled and asked in return, "Don't you think she's interesting? Shangguan Xiong presents himself as a gentleman in public, but his niece is full of sarcasm towards him. Do you think Shangguan Xiong is a hypocrite?"
"Uh, we can't judge Xiong's character based on just one person's statement, can we?"
"No, but I think it's fine as I please."
Chen Xintong laughed with extreme arrogance.
The secretary was quite helpless.
The two elevators opened one after the other.
Chen Xintong, accompanied by her secretary, was the first to enter the banquet hall.
However, Shangguan Wu and Du Wei encountered a small obstacle.
"Fourth Miss, why don't you have them wait for you outside? Nobody ever shows up at a banquet with bodyguards. People will laugh at you," Peng Yuan advised.
At the same time, he looked down on Shangguan Wu in his heart. No matter how beautiful she was or how well she dressed, she couldn't hide her country bumpkin vibe. Did she think that coming out with bodyguards made her cool? It just made her look like a show-off!
Shangguan Wu wore a look of astonishment, as if to say, "No way, no way, no way."
"Has no one ever shown up with bodyguards? Maybe you haven't been to enough banquets!" She smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Alright, you don't need to follow me anymore, I'll go find Uncle myself."
Peng Yuan wanted to persuade her, but Du Wei's tall and imposing figure blocked his way, and for a moment he couldn't even see Shangguan Wu anymore.
It's embarrassing for the shorter person.
Peng Yuan could only go to the emergency exit to call the president.
—Shangguan Wu has arrived!
The magnificent banquet hall was filled with men in suits and ties, and women in elegant attire, clinking glasses and creating a lively atmosphere.
Shangguan Wu appeared with two tall men, each over 1.9 meters tall, instantly attracting the attention of most people.
"Who is this? She's so beautiful!"
“I met her at Old Master Shangguan’s birthday banquet. She is the fourth young lady of the Shangguan family, the sickly girl who was raised in the countryside since childhood, so it’s normal that you haven’t met her.”
"Holy crap! Are you kidding me? This guy exudes such a powerful aura on the street, and you're telling me he was raised in the countryside?"
Everyone was amazed when they first saw Shangguan Wu, because her face was so beautiful!
But her arrival disrupted the harmony of the banquet.
Many young men shifted their focus, holding their wine glasses, and headed towards Shangguan Wu.
This caused some of the socialites and heiresses present to turn green with embarrassment.
Ye Chan and Feng Kexin, in particular, already had a grudge against Shangguan Wu, and now that they were enemies meeting, their eyes were filled with hatred.
"That vixen Shangguan Wu is seducing men again!"
"I guess her disabled husband can't satisfy her, so she's out there trying to hook up with other men, right?"
Ye Chan and Feng Kexin's back-and-forth banter instantly piqued the curiosity of the other socialites.
"She actually got married?"
"Women in the countryside usually get married very young, but how could she marry a cripple? Didn't she ever think about getting a divorce?"
"Heh, those men who gathered around probably don't know she's married, do they? But even if they did, it wouldn't matter. With that face and those legs, they could probably have their fun all night!"
The crowd's gaze shifted from curiosity to disdain and contempt.
Seeing Shangguan Wu surrounded by a group of young masters, seemingly having a good chat, she couldn't help but feel jealous and envious, while also harboring resentment.
Why are you all standing together? What are you talking about?
The newcomer was Shen Xining, the daughter of the Shen family. She was a beautiful woman with an oval face and a gentle smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Ye Chan, having been instructed by her family, and wanting to curry favor with her, quickly replied, "We're talking about Shangguan Wu. She's a married woman, yet she's so shameless, flirting with so many men."
She pointed in the direction where Shangguan Wu was.
Feng Kexin chimed in, "That's right! Tonight is a banquet hosted by your Shen family, but she acts like the star of the show, seducing men who only think with their lower bodies and making them infatuated with her. She doesn't care about the Shen family at all!"
Shen Xining's eyes flickered slightly, but her smile remained unchanged: "Shangguan Wu? Is that Shangguan Xinyi's younger sister who just returned home this year? She's very pretty. I'll go take a look."
Ye Chan and Feng Kexin exchanged a glance and followed in her footsteps.
The others followed behind them.
"For frozen shoulder and lower back pain, you can take 30 grams each of papaya and mulberry mistletoe, and 15 grams of safflower, put them in a thermos with boiling water, and soak for 20 minutes. Drink the juice as tea, one dose per day, divided into several servings, for half a month to a month."
Shangguan Wu's voice was clear and crisp, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, melodious and pleasing to the ear.
She spoke calmly and deliberately, exuding confidence and rigor, with a persuasive and penetrating quality.
Someone asked, "How do you treat hair loss?"
Shangguan Wu looked at the other party and said: "Eclipta prostrata 18g, white chrysanthemum and raw rehmannia root 30g each, add water to decoct, remove the dregs and take the juice, drink it as tea twice a day."
Someone else asked, "What if it's neurasthenia, with frequent dizziness and insomnia?"
Shangguan Wu calmly said, "Take 5-10 grams of Apocynum venetum, steep it in boiling water every day and drink it as tea. No need to decoct it."
The women who came over listened for three minutes.
Shen Xining: "..."
Ye Chan and Feng Kexin: "..."
Other socialites and heiresses: "..."
