Chapter 90
In the end, Xia Sheng still followed Shen Yanchen to the golf course.
Jiang Shaobai was there as well. When he saw Shen Yanchen bringing Xia Sheng over, he whistled at the two of them. “Yanchen, bringing your little girl around to meet everyone already? That was fast.”
A few other second-generation heirs from the same circle were present too. When they saw the young girl at Shen Yanchen’s side, meaningful looks appeared on their faces.
“Ninth Master, you’re really blessed with luck in love. Found yourself such a pretty little girlfriend, huh?”
“This girl doesn’t look like she’s even an adult yet, does she? Since when did Shen Ninth Master have such special tastes?”
“She looks so fair and clean. She can’t still be in school, can she?”
“Little girl, young people should focus on their studies. Don’t let the big bad wolf of the Shen Family trick you into bed.”
Seeing that they were getting more and more out of line, Shen Yanchen spoke in a slow voice. “That’s enough from all of you.”
The second-generation heirs who had originally been joking with him in a careless, flippant manner immediately put away their teasing when they saw how protective he was of Xia Sheng. Their previously lazy postures instantly straightened into something almost like a military stance.
In truth, this group only dared to joke so freely with Jiang Shaobai. They were still somewhat afraid of the Shen Family’s Ninth Master.
Just now, Jiang Shaobai had been the one to start the joke, so they had dared to join in with a few teasing remarks.
If this were any other day, they definitely would not have dared to speak to Shen Yanchen in that tone.
Seeing that the atmosphere had gone a little cold, Jiang Shaobai stepped in to smooth things over. “I haven’t introduced you yet. This is Miss Xia, Xia Sheng, Yanchen’s little girlfriend.
“Come on, all of you, say hello to your future sister-in-law.”
The second-generation heirs then lined up one by one to introduce themselves to Xia Sheng.
After the first few finished their introductions as stiffly as if they were delivering work reports, the last man walked up to Xia Sheng. His peach-blossom eyes curved, revealing a smile that resembled Jiang Shaobai’s in some ways.
“Hello, Sister-in-law. My name is Jiang Shaoyu, Jiang Shaobai’s cousin.”
Xia Sheng gave a small nod, acknowledging his greeting.
Her gaze swept over his slightly pale lips, and she suddenly asked, “Did you break up with your girlfriend in the past couple of days?”
Jiang Shaoyu was surprised. “Yeah. How did you know? Did my cousin tell you?”
“I saw it from your face.”
“Face-reading?” Jiang Shaoyu became interested and asked with a smile, “Little Sister-in-law, you know how to tell fortunes too? Then why don’t you tell me how my girlfriend and I broke up?”
Jiang Shaoyu had never believed in metaphysics or fortune-telling. The only reason he was asking Xia Sheng to calculate something for him now was because he wanted to tease the little girl and, while he was at it, guide her toward believing in science.
He had heard that Xia Sheng was the child the Xia Family had brought back from the countryside.
Although he did not discriminate against children poorer than himself, this little girl promoting feudal superstition was another matter entirely.
After all, Shen Yanchen’s status was what it was. If people later found out that the dignified Ninth Master of the Shen Family kept a little charlatan by his side, who knew how many people would laugh at him?
He was doing this for Shen Yanchen’s reputation, and also for Shen Yanchen and Xia Sheng’s future.
Seeing that Jiang Shaoyu did not believe Xia Sheng, Jiang Shaobai reminded him, “Little Sister-in-law’s fortune-telling is extremely accurate. If the reason you and your girlfriend broke up is anything disgraceful, you’d better not let her say it out loud.”
Jiang Shaobai had heard before that his cousin and his girlfriend had broken up. At the time, he had asked about it several times, but Jiang Shaoyu had refused to say anything. That meant the two of them must have had a very unpleasant falling-out before deciding to split.
If Jiang Shaoyu was not even willing to tell him, his own cousin, then he probably did not want anyone else to know either.
Jiang Shaoyu waved a hand and said, “What’s there that can’t be said? Little Sister-in-law, just say whatever you calculated.”
The reason he and his girlfriend had broken up really wasn’t anything glorious. But it also wasn’t something most people could guess. Surely his little sister-in-law couldn’t be lucky enough to nail it in one try.
Xia Sheng shot him a sidelong glance. “Are you sure you want me to say it in front of all these people?”
Jiang Shaoyu said carelessly, “Say it! Say whatever you want!”
Xia Sheng began, her voice light and calm. “You and your girlfriend started dating in college. All this time, you’ve been having a purely platonic relationship.
“Then half a year ago, your girlfriend couldn’t stand that you still hadn’t touched her, so she suggested you two move in together.
“After moving in, she thought she’d finally have a sweet, happy life with you. Who knew she’d discover the unfortunate truth that you were small and not exactly mighty.
“After living with you for a month, she finally couldn’t take it anymore and cheated on you with a muscular guy.
“Last week, after you found out, you were furious. You kicked her to the curb and beat that guy up while you were at it.”
Jiang Shaoyu was shocked. “You’re saying she cheated on me five months ago? But she clearly told me she’d only gotten together with that guy a few days ago!”
After that burst of shock, Jiang Shaoyu belatedly realized he had let something slip and hurriedly shut his mouth.
Everyone: It feels like we just heard some seriously explosive gossip?
The people present all looked down at Jiang Shaoyu’s lower half, their gazes filled with pity.
Jiang Shaoyu’s face flushed bright red. He had no idea how Xia Sheng knew about this.
It was too embarrassing, so he had never mentioned it to anyone.
It couldn’t be that Xia Sheng had really divined it, right?
Clinging to the last bit of luck, he refused to admit the fact that he’d been cheated on because he was small and not exactly mighty. “Sister-in-law, you calculated wrong. My girlfriend and I broke up peacefully. She didn’t cheat, and I definitely don’t have impotence.”
Xia Sheng said, “Then why do you have medication for impotence in your bag?”
Jiang Shaoyu: “…”
What the hell, she could even divine that?!
Seriously, could a man not have any privacy anymore?
Jiang Shaoyu wanted to cry but had no tears.
He should never have run his mouth and asked Xia Sheng to calculate the reason he and his girlfriend broke up. Now it was like he’d dug a pit for someone else to jump into, only to end up burying himself in it.
Xia Sheng said, “Don’t be sad. If it’s over, it’s over. The next one will be better. As long as you cure your impotence, you’ll definitely be able to find an even better girl in the future.”
Jiang Shaoyu sniffled. “I’ve been treating this problem for a long time, but it still hasn’t gotten better. Sister-in-law, do you have a way?”
Xia Sheng nodded and promoted her product with a perfectly serious face. “I have male enhancement pills. The effects are extraordinary. One pill works immediately, and a hundred pills are guaranteed to cure you. If you need them, I can sell them to you at a friendship price.”
After hearing Xia Sheng’s words, the others finally caught on.
No wonder Xia Sheng had suddenly read Jiang Shaoyu’s fortune. So it was all to sell him male enhancement pills!
What kind of girlfriend had Shen Ninth Master found?
Not only was she a charlatan, she was also selling Viagra?
Jiang Shaobai, standing off to the side, couldn’t help laughing too.
Last time, he had told Xia Sheng to divide the medicine into trial packs and full treatment courses.
The trial packs would use concentrated pills. One pill would show results, making consumers trust the quality and effectiveness of the medicine.
Then the full treatment course would be split into a hundred watered-down pills. They’d definitely make money hand over fist.
He had only said it offhand last time and hadn’t even started putting it into practice yet. He hadn’t expected Xia Sheng to make use of it so quickly.
Jiang Shaoyu also realized that Xia Sheng had read his fortune just to sell him those ridiculous male enhancement pills. Half-believing and half-doubting, he asked, “Sister-in-law, are you sure this medicine of yours works? It isn’t some unlicensed, off-brand product, is it?”
