Chapter 40: Chapter 32: Laozi Will Kill You StealthilyHowever, when Sophie saw this hypocrite’s sincere face, she couldn’t detect any insincerity in him. She reined in her aggressive edge, saying, "Oh, it’s nothing. Thanks to Lin Mu’s protection, the assassin has been dealt with on the spot. But still, thank you for your concern; I’m completely unharmed!" "Oh, come on! What’s there to thank me for? With the years of friendship between the Su and Chen Families..." As he spoke, this guy started getting bold, slowly reaching out his hand with the intent to grab Sophie’s delicate hand! Sophie hesitated for a moment. If she remained still, she’d definitely let this guy take advantage of her, but if she decisively shook him off, it would embarrass him greatly and make her seem unreasonable... Just as Miss Su was hesitating, Chen Shiwei’s unwanted hand had already reached over. Ah, this little hand, it’s really... um, rough and tough, with strong wrist strength! When he looked down, he realized he was holding a large, bronze-colored hand, calloused and veined—it was none other than Sophie’s mysterious fiancé, Lin Mu. Chen Shiwei pointed at Lin Mu next to Sophie, pretending not to know him, "This brother, could you be the Lin Mu mentioned by President Su earlier?" "That’s me!" Before Sophie could answer, Lin Mu quickly stepped in front of her, shielding the beautiful CEO. Her delicate hand was his exclusive right; how could he let another man touch it? Even if touching it wouldn’t cause any loss, just imagine if your playful wife was looked at or touched by another guy, how would you feel? "Yes, he is my fiancé, Lin Mu!" Lin Mu was secretly pleased, finally being recognized as her partner. After all, back at Yunhai Mansion, in front of those senior and junior managers, the beautiful CEO only acknowledged him as a personal bodyguard! "Ah, pleased to meet you!" Almost with a sincere expression, Chen Shiwei looked at Lin Mu, but Lin Mu only trusted his Seventh Sense, convinced this guy was two-faced, saying one thing openly and another behind the scenes. Yet at this moment, he was passionately shaking Lin Mu’s hand, "Nice to meet you, I feel like we’ve known each other forever!" "Yes, yes!" Since they were like old friends, Lin Mu felt compelled to tighten his grip, secretly applying more force. His grip was like a vice, clasping Chen Shiwei’s smooth hand firmly and then abruptly squeezing hard, "Ouch!" A sharp pain pierced through Chen Shiwei’s heart—this guy’s hand was more like an iron clamp! Humph, serves you right for trying to take advantage of someone else’s playful wife! Lin Mu smirked internally. Chen Shiwei tried to jerk his hand away as if electrocuted, but he couldn’t just break free! Plus, in this solemn gathering of high society, he couldn’t make a scene of crying out in pain—he had to swallow the pain no matter what! Thus, the usually suave and elegant, Pearl River Delta’s most handsome man, stood there biting his lip, silently enduring the thousand agonies in his heart, feeling utterly wretched! Seeing his unmoving stance, Lin Mu was quite satisfied and turned to Sophie, "Feifei, who is this guy?" Wow, the renowned and powerful patriarch of the super-rich Chen Family in Wancheng was completely ignored, not even recognized by name—this was utterly disrespectful! seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This wasn’t just embarrassment; this was public humiliation. Several low-laughing high-society members started covering their mouths, amused at how the Su Family had someone like this now? Seeing Chen Shiwei suppressing his anger, silent, Sophie had to speak up and tell Lin Mu, "This is Chen Shiwei, known as Wancheng’s First Young Master!" "Chen Shimei?" Lin Mu cheekily quipped, accidentally or on purpose, "What a funny name, Young Master Chen is hilarious! Haha..." Humor? Damn, Chen Shiwei felt like dying; his hand felt like it was being crushed, yet he had to endure silently because of his pride... He had to bear it, or else one scream could ruin his elegant Wancheng First Young Master image! His previously charming and graceful demeanor was now being completely overturned by this simpleton! Realizing Chen Shimei could endure no longer, fearing he might soon let out a shriek, Lin Mu gently released his grip and smiled, "Brother Chen, you’re such a good person. We really do feel like old friends, even a handshake feels so sincere!" Oh... no... Chen Shiwei finally exhaled deeply, relieved to escape the iron grip! His face regained a bit of color, having been black as Bao Qingtian earlier, resembling Chen Shimei more than himself, but he was too tired to explain, preferring to avoid another round with this maniacal jerk! Lin Mu leaned in closer to Chen Shiwei, who hurriedly jumped away as if electrified, tightening his defenses reflexively, trying to smooth things over, "I’m not Chen Shimei; it’s Chen Shiwei. Uh, of course, some folks jokingly call me that..." Changing the subject, he continued, "Brother Lin, you seem new here; are you just settling in? Wancheng has many famous attractions, like the Humen Fortress, the site of Lin Zexu’s smoke destruction, and Ke Garden, one of the Four Great Gardens of Jiangnan..." Watching this handsome guy getting humiliated by a rustic fellow, being called Chen Shimei on the spot, was baffling to those who admired his usually outstanding and charming demeanor. Especially as he stood like a docile wife under this guy’s hand! Of course, they couldn’t see the torment Chen Shiwei endured in Lin Mu’s iron grip! "Ah, you’re so enthusiastic, brother. I appreciate it, but, you know, Feifei says she can’t be without me for even a moment..." Goodness! Who says they can’t be without you? Someone who has reached such a level of narcissism must have incredibly thick skin! Sophie was seething inside, having mentally murdered Lin Mu a hundred times already. Making such outrageous remarks here was truly peculiar! Yet, Lin Mu’s comment wasn’t just for boasting; it was mainly aimed at undermining Chen Shiwei, the self-proclaimed girl-magnet male idol! Of course, this move not only cut Chen Shiwei down a notch but also affected all the male guests at this high-society gathering! It was blatant antagonism! Meanwhile, women who usually adored Chen Shiwei’s graceful and mature charisma started to despise Lin Mu, wondering how such a reckless idiot could stir up trouble at such a classy venue! The Wancheng elite gathering was truly going downhill... Just as Lin Mu was basking in the spotlight, a powerful laugh echoed from the door, full of vigor, cheer, and authority!
