14: Zhang Shenxuan

"Hello, Miss Gao. I am the owner of this shop, Shen Xuan."

After finishing up here, Gao Ying was about to take Yin Lin to the mall, but they were stopped after just a few steps.

"Hello, is there something I can help you with?" Gao Ying asked, looking at him.

Shen Xuan was truly stunned when he saw her.

This young lady was beautiful, but he had seen many women; he had even seen those more beautiful than her, though they had all gone under the knife.

Besides her beauty, this young lady exuded a gentle aura that made people instinctively want to be close to her.

From her appearance, she must have been extremely pampered by her family since childhood.

"It's nothing. I just heard from my employees that a beautiful lady almost bought out all the cars in my shop today, so I hurried over to introduce myself," Shen Xuan said, extending his hand.

Seeing this, Gao Ying was about to shake it, but she was intercepted halfway.

"Your Highness, it is my responsibility to protect your safety. We don't know this person's intentions, so let your subordinate handle it." Yin Lin held her hand and extended his other hand to shake Shen Xuan's.

"You don't know Shen Xuan? He's the Second Young Master of Jiangcheng's Shen Family. He started this car show with his own abilities, without using a single penny from his family.

In Jiangcheng, who doesn't praise the Second Young Master of the Shen Family for being capable?" The yellow-haired youth who came with Shen Xuan filled them in on Shen Xuan's achievements.

"Sounds impressive, but our Highness has just arrived, so she isn't familiar with you second-generation rich kids." Yin Lin looked at Shen Xuan with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Shen Xuan's originally nonchalant expression was replaced by a cold sweat, startled by the pressure emanating from him.

This man had definitely seen blood; he wasn't just a simple bodyguard.

What exactly was this Miss Gao's background?

"Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!"

Yin Ren and the others returned, satisfied after their lap.

As soon as they entered, they saw Yin Lin confronting two men.

The aura of the eight men suddenly became sharp. They quickly moved to his side, surrounding Gao Ying in the center.

"Your Highness, what did they do?" Yin Ren looked at Shen Xuan and the other man with murderous intent in his eyes.

"They didn't do anything. This Shen Xuan is the owner of this shop. They just came over to see who made such a big purchase. You don't need to be so tense." Gao Ying pushed them aside, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Looking at Yin Lin's expression, I thought they were some blind fools bullying you. Your Highness, let's head to the mall quickly.

Ride in my car. I'll take you to experience the feeling of lightning speed."

*Slap!*

"Yin Chan, why did you hit me? And specifically on the head! I'm only getting stupider because you keep hitting my head." Just as Yin Ren finished speaking, he was struck on the head. He looked at the culprit huffily.

"Heh, you're far too confident in your own IQ. Among us, your IQ is the lowest." Yin Chan's tongue was truly poisonous.

"Your Highness~ did you see that? That's how they bully me." Yin Ren feigned distress, covering his eyes with both hands.

Seeing his clownish behavior, Gao Ying was amused. "Yes, our Yin Ren is truly pitiful. Today, Big Sister will take you to eat something good and won't buy anything for them."

"I knew Your Highness was the best to me. Hmph, just you wait and see. Your Highness said she's only taking me to eat good food." Yin Ren looked at his brothers with a tsundere glint in his eyes.

"I can't take it, why is Yin Ren so funny?" Gao Ying leaned against Yin Lin, laughing.

Yin Lin gently wrapped his arm around her waist, allowing her to lean against him more comfortably.

"A Xuan, what exactly is this Miss Gao's identity? I truly felt the murderous intent emanating from them just now."

Shen Xuan looked down at the man's trembling legs with great disdain, but he didn't push him away.

"Miss Gao, are you going to Lanting Shopping Mall? I know their young master. If you don't mind, may I come along?"

"If Young Master Shen isn't busy, you're welcome to join us." Gao Ying didn't refuse.

If she wanted to enter Jiangcheng's upper circles, she would start with this Second Young Master of the Shen Family.

She had just asked Fugui about Shen Xuan's past.

Speaking of which, his life story was quite melodramatic. The Head of the Shen Family, Shen Xuan's father, was quite the philanderer in his youth.

He only married Shen Xuan's mother because of a family alliance; in reality, he had a "white moonlight" lover on the outside.

Furthermore, the white moonlight got pregnant before the legal wife. In the end, the white moonlight unfortunately passed away while giving birth.

The Head of the Shen Family ignored all objections and brought the illegitimate son into the household.

Madam Shen had no objections to his actions because she didn't like her husband either.

This made things difficult for this Young Master of the Shen Family. Even though he was the legitimate son, he became the "Second Young Master" upon birth.

Madam Shen was quite devoted to her son, transferring all her assets to him in advance.

When Shen Xuan was ten, she filed for divorce and planned to take him with her.

However, Madam Shen's family did not agree, citing the reason that having a child would make it difficult for her to remarry.

In their words, giving all the assets to Shen Xuan was already the height of kindness; it was absolutely impossible to let her take a "burden" with her.

In the end, Madam Shen locked herself in her room for three days and three nights. When she finally emerged, she didn't mention the divorce again.

However, she also stopped caring about Shen Xuan.

When Shen Xuan was eighteen, Madam Shen brought up the divorce again, and the Head of the Shen Family agreed.

Not two months after the divorce, the Head of the Shen Family published a notice in the newspaper severing his father-son relationship with Shen Xuan.

"Tsk, Guibao, it seems the two guys I've met both have quite rough backgrounds," Gao Ying communicated with Fugui.

"Is that so? Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Besides, that's how Fugui families are, unless they are prestigious clans who take family honor as their responsibility.

So as long as there's a political marriage, they won't have anyone else outside." Fugui said this with obvious guilt.

However, Gao Ying didn't pick up on it.

"Does Your Highness understand everything about Shen Xuan now?" Seeing her open her eyes, Yin Lin knew her communication with the system had ended.

"Yes, I do. He doesn't have any ill intentions; he just wants to climb up. Isn't that just human nature?

Back when I was a corporate slave, I also thought about climbing the ladder, but I couldn't find a way. And when there were shortcuts, I didn't want to take them."

"Being able to bind with Fugui is something I never imagined in my past life or this one." Speaking of the past, Gao Ying felt as if a century had passed.

"Your Highness is very good. This is what you deserve." Yin Lin held her hand and spoke very seriously.

On the way, Shen Xuan called Lu Li and told him about Gao Ying.

"I've heard the old man mention this Miss Gao. This morning, he and my uncle rushed out, and after a while, they came back and summoned all the juniors.

They said a big shot had arrived in Jiangcheng and sternly warned us that we must never offend her.

That big shot is the Miss Gao you're talking about. I'm really curious to know who this big shot is that those two old foxes were so insistent about.

I didn't expect you to call. I happen to be at the mall right now, so I'll head down and wait for you." Lu Li was truly curious about that big shot, so he went downstairs early to wait.

Before long, ten sports cars stopped at the entrance of Lanting Shopping Mall.

Lu Li saw eight men get out of the luxury cars. They moved in unison and stood before a blue Koenigsegg.

The driver's door opened, and another handsome man stepped out. He calmly walked to the back seat, opened the door, and placed his hand over the door frame as he said something to the person inside.

Lu Li watched the woman get out of the back seat and raised an eyebrow.

It seemed this beauty was the big shot the two old men were talking about.
