Ye Shu was also stunned. She hadn’t expected to meet Shaochen’s mother, Bai Yueru, in such a manner at this kind of event.
Ye Shu hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat uneasy as she extended her hand and lightly gripped Bai Yueru’s, “Auntie, hello, I’m Ye Shu. It’s truly an honor to meet you. You look beautiful tonight…”
As she spoke, her mind was racing. Usually sharp-tongued, she felt a nervous tightness, as if she was clumsily speaking to her in-laws.
What exactly had Shaochen said about her when he mentioned her to Bai Yueru?
Did Bai Yueru know about her secret marriage with Shaochen?
Ye Shu slightly lifted her eyes to look towards Shaochen, who was standing a meter away surrounded by bodyguards. Her eyes conveyed a small plea for help.
Shaochen nodded subtly, giving her a reassuring look. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he slowly began to speak, “Mom, you’re scaring my woman.”
The moment Shaochen spoke, the entire room erupted.
“How could this be? Isn’t Ye Shu dating Jin Baiwan?”
“Oh my god, doesn’t my idol have gynophobia? How did Ye Shu manage to hook him?”
…
The most shocked was Ye Xinyu.
She couldn’t have imagined that Shaochen, whom she thought was here to attend her wedding with Gu Zuocheng to add prestige, was actually here to confess to Ye Shu?
How was this possible?
With reluctance, Ye Xinyu grabbed Jin Baiwan and pushed him to the front, “Mr. Sheng, don’t be fooled by my cousin, she’s already someone else’s wife, this Mr. Jin Baiwan right here!”
“Yes, Mr. Sheng, not only did Mr. Jin Baiwan buy Ye Shu an A-grade Red Earl, but he also rented this gown, claiming it’s Master Fran’s final masterpiece! You shouldn’t be blinded by a woman like Ye Shu who’d sleep with old men for a bit of profit!!”
Guan Zhizhi, who had just been humiliated by Ye Shu, was still burning with anger, and seized the opportunity to malign Ye Shu as much as she could.

However, in her excited tirade, she failed to notice that the heavily guarded VIP now had a stormy expression, a menacing aura emanating from him.
Everyone present could feel the air pressure drop abruptly.
It was July, yet the cold air was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
Shaochen’s icy gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on Jin Baiwan, his tone chilling, “You’ve got some nerve!”
Startled, Jin Baiwan shivered and stood up straight, “Mr. Sheng, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry… Per your instructions, when I brought Lady Ye Shu here, I made it very clear to them that I was just her driver today. As for this Red Earl and final masterpiece, I really don’t know how they got associated with me, I’m just a rough guy, I don’t understand any of this…”
Everyone was shocked into silence, the room deathly quiet!
All gazes simultaneously turned towards Ye Xinyu and Guan Zhizhi.
Ye Xinyu and Guan Zhizhi, already sweating from Jin Baiwan’s words, felt even more terrified under everyone’s stares, shivering uncontrollably.
Little did they know that Shaochen would personally arrange for Jin Baiwan to bring Ye Shu over!
With all the slanderous and insulting remarks they had made about Ye Shu, considering Shaochen’s notoriously ruthless reputation, had they just dug their own graves?
