149: Chapter 149 This time, even the Han family's bodyguards were taken down!
This Emerald Great Wall was originally presented by Lin Yu at the Tang Family Old Madam's birthday banquet.
In the end, it was thrown away as if it were just glass.
Shen Yuan had picked it up at the time, and now it was finally coming in handy.
Lin Yu: "..."
That's clearly mine!
Shen Yuan glanced sideways, "Like I said before, I picked it up off the ground. Finders keepers!"
Lin Yu: *Sigh!*
I was thinking about asking for it back then.
But then... you said you had a system, and you completely blindsided me.
I forgot all about it.
Plus, with everything that happened with Meng Yao, I completely forgot this matter.
"You..."
Lin Yu said helplessly, "It's useless to you anyway, why not give it back to me?"
"I'm using it as a gift!" Shen Yuan said with a sidelong glance. "It's my fiancée's birthday, I'm giving it to her!"
"I'll add another ten thousand villain points to your total next month!"
Shen Yuan smiled slightly.
"Deal!"
Lin Yu spoke solemnly.
What was a mere piece of Imperial Green compared to villain points?
Speaking of which...
Aren't we Children of Destiny?
Why the hell are we living off villain points now?
"By the way, Yang Zi!"
Shen Yuan shouted toward Chu Yang, "Are you going to the birthday banquet?"
"No!"
Chu Yang shook his head.
"Shen Yang!"
Shen Yuan said earnestly, "Logically speaking, that belongs to you!"
"Who the hell would admit that!" Chu Yang glanced sideways. "Chu Yuan, don't mess around!"
Shen Yuan laughed out loud.
Lin Yu and the others: "..."
You two keep swapping surnames, is this fun for you?
You guys aren't even married!
Besides, even in ancient times, people didn't change their surnames when they married; at most, they added one.
Like Madam Shen-Chu, or Madam Chu-Shen...
There's no need to swap names!
Shen Yuan waved his hand, "Fine, if you're not going, I'll go by myself!"
"Forget it, since you're inviting me so sincerely, I'll go!"
Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.
Shen Yuan: "I don't need you to agree out of the goodness of your heart!"
Xiao Ce and the others: "..."
We always feel like we're not perverted enough and don't fit in with you two.
Sigh, as expected, in this world, priority always goes to those who were there first.
"Scatter, scatter!"
Shen Yuan waved them off.
The crowd dispersed in a flurry.
Time flew by...
On the evening of the third day, Shen Yuan dragged Chu Yang along.
Chu Yang: "???"
Where are we going?
Shen Yuan: "The birthday banquet!"
Chu Yang: "You said you didn't need me to go out of the goodness of my heart!"
Shen Yuan: "Now I need you to go sincerely!"
Chu Yang: "..."
Wait for me to change my clothes first!
Shen Yuan drove, taking Chu Yang leisurely toward the Han Family's ancestral residence.
The Han Family residence was decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with guests.
Seeing Shen Yuan, Father Han came to meet him from afar, his face covered in smiles. "Xiao Yuan is here, come in, come in!"
Shen Yuan was polite, refined, and elegant. "Uncle Han, long time no see."
"You're too kind, too kind!"
Father Han said with a chuckle, "Son, come out and greet the guest!"
Han Jin spat out a mouthful of water.
Dad, if you don't know how to speak properly, you really don't have to.
Shen Yuan led Chu Yang inside.
Han Jin greeted them with a smile.
"Call me Godfather."
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Han Jin: "Didn't you say you wouldn't accept me?"
Shen Yuan pointed at Chu Yang, "He'll accept you!"
Chu Yang: "????"
I just got here and you've already assigned me a grown-ass son?
Han Jin's expression was beyond words.
Han Miao walked out from the inner rooms.
"Old Shen!"
Han Miao called out with a smile.
She was wearing a moon-white strapless fishtail gown, standing under the crystal chandelier of the banquet hall; she looked like moonlight bathed in a soft glow.
The gown flowed like ocean waves as she walked, perfectly outlining her slender waist and making her figure appear even more upright.
The neckline was adorned with delicate crystal beads, as if the entire starry sky had been sewn onto the dress.
She had the dignified grace of a daughter from a prestigious family, yet hidden within was a bit of a young girl's... idiocy and brain-deadness!
In those clear eyes, the light of the crystal chandelier reflected like a laser beam...
Shen Yuan: "????"
Is my description of girls always this unhinged?
"You're here?"
Han Miao smiled and stepped forward.
Shen Yuan shrugged and handed over a brocade box, "Miao Miao, happy birthday!"
Han Jin leaned in, "What kind of good stuff did you give Miao Miao?"
"Brother, opening a gift in front of the giver is disrespectful!"
Han Miao stuck her tongue out.
Han Jin: "..."
Does a guy like Shen Yuan need respect?
He doesn't!
After all... everyone who didn't respect him has been beaten to death!
I'm the exception!
I almost became his son!
"Go ahead and open it."
Shen Yuan smiled.
Han Miao nodded with a smile and opened the box. Upon seeing the contents, she was instantly stunned.
This... holy mother of...
Even if you're rich, you shouldn't be this extravagant, right?
This thing auctioned for hundreds of millions years ago; it's worth at least over a billion now!
"Holy shit!"
Han Jin suddenly let out a howl, "God damn!"
Many of the guests were startled and looked over at Han Jin.
Father Han walked up and smacked the back of Han Jin's head, "Who are you cursing at?"
"You don't even have a partner yet!"
"You're almost thirty, fooling around every day!"
"Like an idiot!"
"In my eyes, you're not even as good as a dog right now!"
Father Han scolded.
Han Jin: "..."
Dad, it's Miao Miao's birthday today!
There are so many people outside!
Can't you save me some face?
Besides, who says I don't have a partner?
*Sob sob*, my partner was literally destroyed by me and Shen Yuan!
"Xiao Yuan sent a gift, holy shit..."
Father Han also started shouting in surprise.
The guests present: "..."
Like father, like son!
Why is your whole family howling?
"Xiao Yuan, this gift is a bit too valuable!"
Father Han looked at Shen Yuan, "This..."
"It's nothing!"
Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "It's just a piece of Imperial Green, don't worry about the value."
"Then I'll thank you on Miao Miao's behalf!"
Father Han sighed, "So wonderful!"
"It's fine!"
Shen Yuan looked at Han Miao, and the two shared a knowing smile.
When the banquet ends... and Uncle Han (Dad) finds out about the broken engagement...
He'll probably have a heart attack on the spot.
"Thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday banquet. Thank you, everyone, please eat and drink your fill!"
"There aren't many formalities here."
Father Han said with a smile.
The guests all nodded, their faces full of smiles.
Although they didn't know exactly what Young Master Shen had given, one look told them it was something extraordinary.
The banquet proceeded as scheduled...
Amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone was enjoying themselves!
However, halfway through the banquet...
*Crash!*
The Han Family's main doors were pushed open.
A middle-aged woman wearing a floral shirt and a perm, bringing along a timid-looking girl, barged in.
Everyone looked over, completely bewildered.
Shen Yuan nudged Han Jin, "Doesn't your ancestral home have Bodyguards at the door?"
Han Jin's brow furrowed, "There are people watching!"
"There are Bodyguards all around..."
Han Jin's eyes showed some doubt, then he suddenly slapped his thigh, "Damn it, we have a traitor among the Bodyguards!"
Shen Yuan's face twitched as he helplessly spread his spiritual sense to take a quick scan.
Shen Yuan suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Han Miao asked curiously.
"Last time you said my Bodyguards were taken down..."
"Miao Miao, this time your family's Bodyguards have also been taken out!"
"Rats in the gutter!"
Shen Yuan said playfully.
He and Chu Yang exchanged a look; Chu Yang spread his hands, a playful glint in his eyes.
The meaning was...
Go ahead and cause trouble!
You have me, an Immortal Emperor, to back you up.
Shen Yuan's eyes were full of disdain.
Chu Yang: *What's with that look!*
Is it just because I can't beat you?
