Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Killing the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs

Few young men around Fu Xiao also noticed Shen Yanhe not far away. One of them wore a white shirt, a black skull necklace around his neck, and had sunken eyes that gave him an unhealthy look. His face lit up with interest as he pointed at her.

He then elbowed Fu Xiao and asked with an ambiguous look, "Boss Fu, who is that woman? She’s been watching you for a while now."

Fu Xiao smiled slightly, his gaze lightly falling on Shen Yanhe as he carelessly swirled the drink in his glass, "I’ve never met her. She’s probably some servant’s daughter."

"Tsk tsk, the lady is quite pretty. Boss Fu, if you don’t mind, how about you give her to me for some fun?"

"You can’t be serious, Su Shao?" Another young man wearing a floral shirt, who was holding a bottle of champagne, teased the one called Su Shao, "Not even sparing a disabled person?"

Su Shao raised his hand to flick his hair back, giggling, "If she didn’t have some looks, I wouldn’t have bothered. Besides, it’s not like I won’t pay her. The money might be enough for her to live on for a while."

Fu Xiao’s smile lingered as he listened to the young men joking vulgarly, his gaze on Shen Yanhe tinged with ambiguity, "Indeed she has some looks. Then I’ll bring her over to entertain us for a bit."

As he spoke, Fu Xiao put down his glass on the table, straightened his slightly disheveled collar, and walked towards Shen Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe’s eyes flashed coldly, her hand tightening on the armrest of the wheelchair. As he approached, she concealed the icy intent in her eyes and subtly pressed something on her phone hidden in her pocket. Her face, however, showed a timid expression as if she were nervously trying to maneuver her wheelchair to leave.

Fu Xiao took a few steps to block her path, and a hint of amazement passed through his eyes as he saw Shen Yanhe’s face up close.

This woman indeed was beautiful, much more so than the plain and gaudy women he had met before.

Tsk, his decision to return to China this time was indeed correct. The women here suited his taste far more than those abroad.

The smile on Fu Xiao’s face became even more genial, like a kind neighborly uncle, as he softly began, "Miss, don’t rush off."

"I noticed you’ve been watching us for a while. We’re all young here, why don’t you come and join us?"

Shen Yanhe’s grip on the wheelchair’s armrest tightened slightly while her pale, delicate face looked somewhat easy to bully. She shook her head and said, "No, I..."

Fu Xiao didn’t expect her to refuse and his face showed displeasure as he almost forcefully pushed her towards the group of ill-intentioned young men.

"What no? Everyone’s young here, it’s just playing around; no big deal. Don’t worry, I won’t deduct your mother’s salary. In fact, I’ll even give her a raise."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhe immediately knew that Fu Xiao had mistaken her identity, thinking she was the daughter of a servant.

This was fine.

A gleam of cold light flashed in Shen Yanhe’s eyes. She had been worrying about how to get close to Fu Xiao and how to teach him a lesson first to claim some interest.

Seeing that Shen Yanhe remained silent and did not struggle, Fu Xiao thought he had grasped her weakness. A satisfied look emerged on his face as he smiled and reached out to touch her face.

"Don’t worry, as long as you entertain us well, I won’t let you be short-changed."

Shen Yanhe timidly dodged Fu Xiao’s hand and said, "Um, Uncle, you’ve misunderstood. I am Yanhe’s wife."

Fu Xiao, annoyed by her evasive action, frowned upon hearing this and scrutinized her, "Fu Yanhe’s wife?"

When did that kid get married?

Wasn’t he the one who despised women the most?

The young man in the white shirt, Su Shao, couldn’t wait any longer. Hearing what she had said, he scoffed and spoke with malice, "Little girl, lying isn’t nice. I’ve never heard that the young master Fu’s wife was disabled."

Worried that his easy target might slip away, Su Shao looked at Fu Xiao with a grin and said, "Boss Fu, don’t be fooled by her. I’ve seen the young master’s wife from a distance before, and his wife is definitely not disabled."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiao’s face revealed a look of realization and he looked meaningfully at Shen Yanhe, "I see. It seems this is still a legacy of romantic debts left by that nephew of mine."

"If you really are Fu Yanhe’s wife, then you match him quite well, seeing as both of you are disabled. I could even come up with a name for you guys as the ’disabled couple.’"

A barely noticeable smile curled at the corner of Shen Yanhe’s mouth, yet her face showed some urgency. Just as she was about to continue explaining, Fu Xiao directly pushed her to their barbeque spot.

The young men around her eyed her with malicious intent, their naked, invasive gazes making a chill flash in Shen Yanhe’s eyes, and the pretense of timidity on her face faded somewhat.

Fu Xiao leaned close to her, smiling at her, his tone subtly threatening, "Miss, I’ll let go of the fact that you just lied to me, but if you want to stay in this manor, then take good care of me."

"If you cater to me well, I might even keep you by my side."

Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Fu Xiao, spoiled to no end by the old lady Fu, didn’t believe that playing with a maid’s child here would lead to any trouble.

Even if there was trouble, old lady Fu would smooth it over for him; she had cleaned up after him many times before, even helping him escape from a situation where there had been a loss of life.

The people with him were all pampered scions from wealthy families who loved to play hard; they had broken many women before without ever facing consequences.

Besides, even if she really was his beloved nephew’s wife, so what?

Fu Xiao thought dismissively.

His nephew was both disabled and disfigured; having such a woman with him was a waste. He, as the uncle, would properly "reward" his niece-in-law, letting her experience the utmost pleasures of the world.

It was just a woman.

His nephew wouldn’t say anything even if he found out.

Su Shao cheerfully opened a bottle of champagne, crouched in front of her, and forcefully handed it to Shen Yanhe’s hand, "Oh, why so fierce, Master Fu? Look, you scared the poor girl."

"Here, young lady, never mind him, have a drink; I’ve got your back."

The surrounding young men burst into ambiguous laughter upon hearing this.

Shen Yanhe, without a change in expression, observed her surroundings to confirm that beside these young men, no others were approaching.

Only then did she look at the bottle in Su Shao’s hand and pretended to be scared as she gradually reached out and grabbed the bottle.

Su Shao smiled in satisfaction, "Kno..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Shen Yanhe’s grip on the bottle seem to falter, the bottle directly plummeting down, then as she chased to catch it, at the moment she caught it, she "accidentally" smashed the bottle toward him.

With a "crash," the bottle directly smashed onto the crouched Su Shao’s head, shattering.

The shards scattered around, some slicing through Fu Xiao’s face, making him inhale sharply from the pain.

Su Shao, hit by the bottle, was dazed, and the people around, not expecting such an incident, showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"Sorry about that," Shen Yanhe said insincerely, "it slipped."

Su Shao, clutching his throbbing head, glared at Shen Yanhe furiously and got up to kick her, "Damn it! Do you think I’m stupid?"

A slip that managed to hit exactly on his head?

He had never been bashed open before! And today was a first!

This woman was courting death!

Shen Yanhe quickly maneuvered her wheelchair backward, Su Shao’s kick missing, and before he could kick again, Shen Yanhe lifted her foot and aimed squarely at his groin, kicking fiercely.

In a daze, the people around seemed to hear the sound of eggs cracking, as they instinctively crossed their legs.

Su Shao screamed miserably, clutching his groin and collapsing to the ground.
