Fan Meizhen covered her face, pointing at Shen Shuyi with her other finger, "You, I suspect you don't love anyone at all!"
Over there, Hu Cheng saw Fan Meizhen crying and heard the sound of slapping, so he quickly ran over.
"Meizhen, Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you two?"
"Acheng, she hit me." Fan Meizhen lowered her hand, and the bright red handprint was clearly visible.
Hu Cheng had never seen Shen Shuyi so aloof; her cold face possessed a unique charm.
How come he never noticed before?
Although they are both from the Shen family, Shen Shuyi is far more beautiful than Meizhen.
If he hadn't spent so much time with Meizhen abroad, and they hadn't developed feelings for each other over time, he probably would have married Shen Shuyi as planned when he returned to China.
Actually... marrying her doesn't seem so bad.
On the surface, Shen Shuyi is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and they were even engaged when they were young...
Hu Cheng supported Fan Meizhen's arm. "Meizhen, are you alright? Is there some misunderstanding?"
"Xiao Yi...she's not the kind of person who slaps people randomly."
In his memory, Shen Shuyi was excessively stupid and dull; how could she have the guts to hit someone? Had Meizhen said something to provoke her...?
"Xiaoyi, was your marriage to Ning Shitang voluntary?"
Hu Cheng believed that even if Shen Shuyi lost her memory, she would still prefer a refined gentleman like him, not a rogue soldier like Ning Shitang.
Ning Shitang is ruthless; you should stay as far away from someone like that as possible. How could Xiaoyi possibly like a man like that?
Not to mention the entire city of Ningzhou, even across the whole country, people know that Ning Tian is domineering, cunning, and truly terrifying.
Others could only be angry but dared not speak out.
Shen Shuyi looked at Hu Cheng with a puzzled expression, "By what right do you inquire about such an important matter in my life?"
"None of this has anything to do with you, right?"
Hu Cheng frowned. "Ning Shitang wields immense power. You are just an ordinary woman. You cannot defeat him."
Seeing Shen Shuyi's attitude, he was extremely annoyed.
"Xiao Yi, come back to Haicheng with us."
Fan Meizhen stared wide-eyed at Hu Cheng in disbelief.
What's going on?!
How long will it take for Hu Chengcai and Shen Shuyi to reunite?
They've only been together for less than a day and have only exchanged a few words?
So he's siding with Shen Shuyi?!
What about all her planning over the years?
Fan Meizhen was so angry that she lost her mind.
Even if it means going all out, she won't let Shen Shuyi get away with it!
Suddenly, a steady, powerful footstep sounded, accompanied by a man's cold, sharp voice.
Where are you taking my wife?
Ning Shitang strode over, followed by two rows of armed guards.
The man was imposing and his military uniform gave him an air of authority. Hu Cheng subconsciously took a few steps back, while Fan Meizhen was stunned and stood there in shock.
He walked towards Shen Shuyi and gently embraced his lover.
Shen Shuyi snorted, "I don't know them, I'm not going with them."
Hu Cheng forced himself to calm down. With so many important figures present today, everyone was watching Ning Shitang's behavior. He wouldn't resort to violence against him at this critical juncture.
So he stepped forward and explained the reason.
Ning Shitang did not have the habit of letting others hear his private affairs, and he did not want Shuyi to be talked about, so he ordered the guards to leave and guard the entire garden.
Hu Cheng explained the whole story, "Please understand, Commander, we just wanted to take Xiaoyi home to visit her father."
"Oh, I see." Ning Shitang nodded thoughtfully, but said, "Shuyi suffered some head injuries and doesn't know about the Shen family's situation. Perhaps we should wait until Shuyi regains her memory before making any plans."
Shen Shuyi was surprised that Ning Shitang was so easy to talk to; she thought he would point a gun at Hu Cheng's head and tell him to get lost.
However, judging from Ning Shitang's demeanor, there wasn't much difference; look how scared Hu Cheng was.
The atmosphere was tense. Hu Cheng spoke in a firm tone, "Marriage is a major event that should be decided by parents and arranged by a matchmaker. Commander, you should go home and get Uncle Shen's approval before discussing anything else."
Ning Shitang hugged Shen Shuyi tighter and replied to Hu Cheng in a mocking tone.
"I heard you studied abroad for several years. How come your open-mindedness is just lip service, but in reality you are still corrupt and rotten?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Cheng tensed up. Fan Meizhen, fearing that Hu Cheng might go to extremes because of Shen Shuyi, quickly tried to persuade him.
"Acheng, let's go back to Haicheng first."
"No, I can't leave Xiaoyi alone in this den of wolves..."
"Acheng!" Fan Meizhen interrupted him. Did he want to kill her too? The thought that Hu Cheng had offended someone who could easily crush them for Shen Shuyi made her furious.
She was so angry that she lost her mind.
Hu Cheng's agitated mind cleared up considerably after being yelled at by Fan Meizhen.
He looked at Shen Shuyi and said, "Xiaoyi, I hope you can be more rational and not be deceived. You should wait until you regain your memory before making any important decisions in your life."
"I'm leaving now. I'll come back with your uncle to pick you up and take you home later."
Hu Cheng turned to leave, but a sneer came from behind him.
"Did I say you could leave?" Ning Shitang clapped his hands, and the guards immediately surrounded the entire garden.
The people in the hall didn't know what had happened, only that no one was allowed to enter the garden.
The atmosphere in the garden was tense. Hu Cheng knew that Ning Shitang was unpredictable, but he did not expect him to be so arrogant. Just as he was thinking about how to get out of the situation...
The tall man in military uniform had already drawn his pistol and pointed it at Hu Cheng.
"Bang!" Before anyone could react, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet grazed Hu Cheng's arm.
