Chapter 125: Even the Little Tricks Aren't Worth Watching

“Isn’t that the second Miss of the Shen family wearing pink? She actually wants to team up with outsiders to bully her own sister. What’s wrong with her?”
“I remember Bai Yajing got in through connections. The man who came with her just left, and she’s still causing such a ruckus here.”
“The two of them are really like dogs biting each other’s fur. It’s unbearable and disgusting!”

Shen Tingting felt no shame at all. “Dad, hurry up and kick Bai Yajing out!”

Shen Xuejun felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face, his expression darkening significantly. He stepped forward and gave Shen Tingting a slap. “Enough! Don’t you see where this is?”

Covering her cheek, Shen Tingting’s eyes welled with tears. “You actually hit me!”

At that moment, Liu Shuhua finally arrived. She intended to comfort Shen Tingting but was stopped by the foul stench from afar.

Covering her nose, she said, “Tingting, don’t go against your father.”

Bai Yajing also caught the smell, and what was worse, the awful odor was coming from her own body!

“You originally planned to lure Miss Shen here, strip her, and push her into the fountain?”

A cold, solemn voice rang out. Everyone turned toward the sound—it was the Crown Prince himself!

Shen Xuejun hurriedly forced a smile. “Please don’t misunderstand, it was just childish mischief. I’ll have her apologize to her sister immediately!”

But the Crown Prince was unmoved, his voice icy. “Apologize? Do you think an apology is enough?”

Cold sweat broke out on Shen Xuejun’s face as he anxiously grabbed Shen Tingting, forcing her to kneel. “You brat, get down and kowtow to apologize!”

Having been slapped and now forced to kneel, Shen Tingting struggled up immediately. “I’m not wrong! Why should I kneel? Shen Chutang didn’t do anything! Why should I apologize?”

Shen Chutang stepped back two paces, wondering if she had sprinkled too much of the powder earlier—it really smelled awful.

It was the super-powerful stinky powder she had concocted out of boredom before. It was colorless and odorless when dry, but once exposed to water, it emitted a foul stench that lasted three days.

Previously, this powder was used by the senior disciple to track enemies; no matter where they hid, this smell would betray their location from afar.

Now, using it to punish some petty villains was quite effective.

Seeing Shen Chutang step back, everyone thought she had been frightened by Shen Tingting’s unreasonable behavior and suddenly felt pity for her.

The Crown Prince said coldly, “It seems you still don’t know who you should apologize to. Get them all out of here—I never want to see them again!”

Shen Xuejun panicked. “Crown Prince, my little daughter is still a child and doesn’t understand. Please forgive her!”

Standing to the side, Shi Hanchan had witnessed the whole scene and couldn’t help but scoff, “She’s older than me and still a child? A giant baby, maybe?”

Shi Shaoxun patted her head and signaled the bodyguards. Soon, a group of men forcibly dragged out Shen Tingting’s family of three, along with Bai Yajing!

After they had all left, Shi Hanchan immediately approached. “Chutang, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. Their little tricks aren’t worth my attention.”

Shi Hanchan’s eyes sparkled. “Chutang, you’re seriously amazing!”

Shen Chutang smiled. “I’ll teach you next time.”

“Okay!”

Shen Chutang glanced toward Shi Shaoxun nearby, wondering if Lu Beiqin was around since he was with him.

There were other segments at the banquet, but Shen Chutang already wanted to leave.

“Hanchan, it’s getting late. I want to head back first.”

The man beside her, wearing a mask, glanced at Shi Shaoxun and then turned to walk inside.

Shi Hanchan nodded. “I’m tired too. Chutang, I’ll walk you back!”

Shi Shaoxun cleared his throat. Since someone was ready to drop the Crown Prince persona and become a taxi driver again, he naturally couldn’t let his sister cause trouble.

“Hanchan, wait for me to finish with a guest. I’ll leave with you afterward; it’ll take a while.”

“All right.”

Afterwards, Shi Shaoxun looked at Shen Chutang. “By the way, Driver Lu is here today. Why don’t you go back with him?”

Shen Chutang hadn’t expected Lu Beiqin to be present. “Where is he?”

“Probably by the parking lot.”

Shen Chutang frowned slightly. “Has he been sitting in the car alone all this time?”

Shi Shaoxun cleared his throat again, explaining, “Driver Lu doesn’t drink. He’s very professional.”

Hearing this, Shen Chutang understood.

But thinking that the manor was so lively inside while Lu Beiqin had to wait alone outside made her feel a little uneasy.

Looking down at her gown, she said, “Do you have casual clothes? I could change out of this dress for you, or I could wear it back and have it cleaned before returning it.”

Shi Hanchan immediately said, “Just wear this dress. If you don’t want it, leaving it here just lets it gather dust! This dress really suits you. Besides you, I can’t find anyone else who looks so good in it!”

“That won’t do.”

Shi Shaoxun chimed in, “It’s fine. Consider this dress a gift from Hanchan. You helped her before, and she’s happy to have you as a friend.”

Shi Hanchan nodded repeatedly. “Chutang, just accept it.”

Hearing their words, Shen Chutang finally agreed, her gaze flickering to where the five million yuan figure had vanished nearby.
