Chapter 196 An Unexpected Conflict at Ye Ningshuang's House

the next morning.

Although most of Shen Wancheng's things were moved over yesterday, Gu Jinxing still came to pick her up early this morning.

Yesterday, Liu Ma noticed that Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing were unfamiliar with and didn't care about the customs of moving to a new house. So last night, she kept nagging Shen Wancheng about what they should pay attention to today, saying that even if they didn't host a party, they couldn't be casual about it.

Shen Wancheng thought that since it was all a good wish, there was nothing wrong with following these customs.

So when they arrived at the manor gate, Shen Wancheng, as Liu Ma had instructed, had the two of them carry some valuable jewelry inside first, symbolizing the arrival of wealth into the house.

After they entered the house, before they even sat down, Aunt Liu went to the kitchen to light the stove and boil a kettle of water, saying that this was called "feng shui qi" (meaning good fortune and prosperity), symbolizing the start of a new life.

But it didn't end there. After the water boiled, Aunt Liu cooked some glutinous rice balls for Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing to eat.

Eating too much glutinous rice can cause indigestion, so Aunt Liu specially bought small glutinous rice balls and served them four, just to symbolize it, so that Shen Wancheng wouldn't overeat.

They ate lunch in the new house, and Shen Yao was there too. The three of them ate lunch together. Gu Jinxing had something to do at the company, so he went to the company.

Shen Wancheng remembered her decision to ask Ye Ningshuang to be her bridesmaid yesterday, so she called Ye Ningshuang, but no one answered.

She figured that she should tell someone herself if she wanted them to be her bridesmaid, and there was no reason for her to ask someone else to notify them. So Shen Wancheng asked Zhou Heng for Ye Ningshuang's home address and planned to go to Ye Ningshuang's house with Shen Yao to find her.

After Shen Wancheng gave the driver the address, they arrived at Ye Ningshuang's apartment building in about half an hour.

This area is very close to the rental house where Shen Wancheng and the others first arrived in Hong Kong Island; this whole area is full of rental houses.

Shen Yao walked into the hallway of the rented apartment building, talking to Shen Wancheng as she went.

"Didn't Ye Ningshuang say she was from Hong Kong Island? How come she's also renting?"

"The rental properties here are all privately owned. They probably just happened to buy here. The houses here shouldn't have been expensive when they were first built."

Zhou Heng told them that Ye Ningshuang lived on the fifth floor. As soon as Shen Wancheng and the others went up one floor, they heard a commotion upstairs, with both male and female voices.

Shen Yao turned to Shen Wancheng and said, "Sister, you stay here first, I'll go upstairs and take a look."

Shen Yao always remembered that Shen Wancheng was pregnant, and she was afraid that if Shen Wancheng went up there, she would be bumped into by the people arguing and fighting up there.

Kola was always by Shen Wancheng's side. When they got out of the car, the driver saw that Shen Wancheng was going to rent a place in an old building and was worried, so he followed her. With the two of them with Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao felt more at ease walking ahead by herself.

Shen Wancheng wouldn't take the risk herself, so she nodded. "Okay, you go first."

Shen Yao hurried upstairs, with Shen Wancheng following behind.

Shen Yao could clearly hear the argument from the fourth floor.

"If you don't pay back the money today, don't expect to have a good time," a rough male voice roared.

"I've already paid off all the gambling debts my dad owed you, so what money do I need to pay back?"

As soon as Shen Yao heard the female voice answering the male voice, she recognized it as Ye Ningshuang.

She strode quickly up the stairs, her 1.6-meter height allowing her to leap across four steps at a time.

The gruff male voice continued, "Heh, who said you paid it all off? Paying back debts is a matter of course. If you had paid it all off, we definitely wouldn't be chasing you. We're all straightforward guys."

"You gave me the IOU when I paid you that day, how could you not have paid it back?"

Shen Yao watched the man and Ye Ningshuang confronting each other in the corridor from the stairwell. There were several thugs squatting or standing next to the man, none of them looking serious.

Shen Yao didn't rush closer; she wanted to stand still and see what was going on.

"Then take a look at this and see what it is?"

The man standing opposite Ye Ningshuang took out a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"How...how could this be..."

Ye Ningshuang couldn't believe there was another IOU, so she reached out to take it and examine it closely.

The burly man pulled back the note, but grabbed Ye Ningshuang's outstretched hand with his other hand.

“Those hands, it seems you’re not poor, your hands are so well-maintained.”

The man's voice was so lewd that Ye Ningshuang felt nauseous and wanted to vomit instantly.

She tried hard to break free, but the man held her hand tightly, and she couldn't get away at all.

"Ye Ningshuang, now that you're a big star, you think you can just renege on your promise? Aren't you afraid we'll expose your stupidity? Do you think you can still continue the competition?"

Ye Ningshuang, who had been calm, felt disgusted and aggrieved because the man was holding her hand, and her voice became rapid and angry.

"If I don't compete, will you still get paid? Go ahead and ruin it if you want, but even if you kill us, we still won't get any money back if I don't compete."

"Heh," the man chuckled lewdly, "If you can't afford the money, then exchange it yourself."

Behind Ye Ningshuang, the little boy who was originally being held by a middle-aged woman suddenly broke free from the woman's grasp and charged straight at the man holding Ye Ningshuang's hand like a firecracker.

He rushed up to the man, grabbed his arms with both hands, and bit down.

"Hey! You brat, let go of me!"

The man was in great pain and released Ye Ningshuang, trying to pull his hand back, but the boy still held him and bit him hard.

The man grabbed the boy's hair with his other hand and pulled it back forcefully.

"You bastard, let go! Or I'll kill you."

The man also yelled at his companions, "Are you all stupid? Standing still!"

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yao also ran towards them as the boy rushed towards the man.

The man's henchman noticed Shen Yao rushing past and instinctively stood up to try to stop her, but Shen Yao swept him away with a flying kick, and his head slammed into the wall.

As the man yelled for his companion to help, Shen Yao had already slipped in front of him.

"Release your mouth."

Shen Yao said this to the boy, but the boy didn't move.

Ye Ningshuang, who was in shock, came to her senses and shouted, "Acong, let go!"

The boy finally relented after hearing Ye Ningshuang's words.

"You bastard, today I'm going to..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Shen Yao punched him in the face.
