I'm Very Happy After Marrying the CEO Husband According to the Agreement-Chapter 128: He’s in the Shower
Chapter 128
Shen Lan was very angry: "What you are doing is illegal!"
"Young lady, don't be so stubborn," the butler sighed deeply, as if he were a man of high morals looking at an unruly child.
A man of high morals? Bah!
Shen Tang punched and kicked with all her might. With a left hook and a right hook, plus the thought of protecting sister Lan fueling her, she soon beat those men down.
But they would not stop unless the butler told them to, even if they were injured.
If this dragged on, Shen Tang would eventually become exhausted.
Shen Lan closed her eyes. "Call them off if I go back with you."
"Sister Lan!"
"You can't go back with him!"
Who knows if you would be married off to Young Master Zhou then, ruining your life!
Shen Lan bit her lip. She didn't expect her family to send people to abduct her like this - it was practically tearing off all pretense.
Even though there was no love lost between them, Shen Lan still didn't think they would take such measures.
She gave Shen Tang a reassuring look and stepped forward. "Stop it now!"
The butler smiled and said, "That's right, know when to quit when you're ahead, young lady. This way please!"
Shen Lan walked forward a few steps. Shen Tang wanted to follow but was blocked by the men.
She was furious and regretted not properly learning some self-defense, having wasted all her strength.
She must save sister Lan!
After the people left, these men also dispersed.
Shen Tang couldn't wait to find Shen Yu, wanting to know more details about sister Lan's family.
Upon hearing about this, Shen Yu's brows furrowed and he didn't look happy.
"Is it very difficult?"
"It's quite difficult. I forgot to tell you earlier, sister Lan is the daughter of the Shen family's main branch. Her father engaged in shady dealings early on, but no one could find evidence because he has connections up top."
Shen Tang's heart sank.
This was bad. Could she only watch as sister Lan gets married off like goods?
She couldn't accept that.
Shen Tang touched her phone. The only person she could think of was Gu Huaian.
But their relationship was a little awkward now and she felt bad about asking him for help.
However, besides him she really didn't know who else to look for.
After some hesitation, sister Lan's safety was still more important.
Shen Tang opened WeChat, found Gu Huaian's profile, and sent a message: [Are you there? I need your help with something.]
She didn't get a reply after waiting forever and felt restless.
He must be busy, she told herself.
Soon her phone rang. Shen Tang looked expectantly but her face instantly froze.
The screen read: [Sorry, he's showering. Ask him to call you back later!]
Shen Tang blinked in confusion, stunned for a moment.
She looked closely - it was indeed Gu Huaian's WeChat.
She typed and deleted several drafts before erasing everything.
Shen Yu noticed Shen Tang's sudden change in expression and grew very concerned. "Sister Tang, are you alright?"
Shen Tang clutched her chest. It hurt so much... Her eyes stung as if tears would fall any second.
She tilted her head back, forcefully suppressing the urge to cry, and shook her head. "I'm fine."
Shen Yu was even more worried.
You don't look fine at all.
He secretly glanced at the screen and naturally saw the message too.
Good going, Gu Huaian. You just left and are already looking for girls. Still wanting to get back together with my sister? Keep dreaming!
"Sister Tang, a three-legged toad is hard to find but two-legged men are everywhere. Don't worry, I'll find you ten or eight fresh meat that are definitely better than that scumbag ex."
If he couldn't win in quality, at least he could in quantity, right? Also, Gu Huaian was already in his thirties while little milk dogs and wolf cubs were fragrant. Who knows if that old guy was even capable anymore?
Shen Tang managed a smile but it looked worse than crying.
Just then, WeChat rang again. Shen Tang lowered her eyes and froze again.
[Gu Huaian: Tang Tang, my friend sent that message earlier. What's the matter?]
Then a video followed, panning the room to show it empty except for a bald man grinning at the camera.
Shen Tang: "......"
So she got sad over nothing?
Shen Yu also saw the video and got furious.
"This guy has problems! Saying misleading things on purpose!"
Shen Tang deeply agreed.
Looking closely at the chat record, it seemed that person didn't actually send anything inappropriate. They had just assumed the worst.
Perhaps from reading too many melodramatic stories, Shen Tang's first thought was of Gu Huaian with some girl...
It was also then she realized her lack of security and trust in Gu Huaian.
Shen Tang inwardly reprimanded herself for a second.
Getting back on track, Shen Tang hastily explained sister Lan's situation.
Gu Huaian immediately called.
"Don't worry, Tang Tang, I'll handle this."
"Okay, thanks."
"We don't need to be so polite. Oh right, you didn't misunderstand about my friend earlier, did you?"
Shen Tang guiltily rubbed her nose. "No, I know you aren't that kind of person."
The other end emitted a laugh that didn't belong to Gu Huaian.
Shen Tang's face instantly flushed.
How annoying!
Gu Huaian walked a few steps before tentatively asking, "Tang Tang, how have you been lately?"
What he really wanted to ask was if she missed him at all.
But he was afraid of getting an answer he didn't want to hear.
Shen Tang hesitated without replying. Instead she asked, "Do you have any leads on the mage's whereabouts?"
"Tang Tang, it's grandmaster, not mage."
Right after Gu Huaian finished speaking, more laughter sounded from the phone.
Shen Tang: "......"
Damn it, too much King of Glory made her look dumb!
She tried to salvage her dignity, "Cough, close enough. After all, grandmasters with those kinds of abilities aren't ordinary people either."
"Right, what Tang Tang said makes sense." There was a hint of laughter in Gu Huaian's agreeing words while Shen Tang pretended not to notice.
Luckily the distance made things less awkward since her toes were already curling from embarrassment.
Really, all this toe aerobics was tiring indeed.
On the other hand, Shen Yu walked away, not wanting to bear witness to their dog food flirting. Still, bits of Shen Tang and Gu Huaian's conversation entered his ears.
He noticed his sister Tang's voice unconsciously became gentler whenever she talked to Gu Huaian.
Tsk, women. Saying no but loving it to death inside.
Shen Yu clucked his tongue. Luckily today's misunderstanding got resolved, otherwise he wouldn't let Gu Huaian off if the guy really wronged Sister Tang.
Although the Shens didn't have much power, they could always handle things more underhandedly.
Sack beating still worked as punishment, humph. He'd get each and every one of them.
