Chapter 540 A Cunning Plan



Abalone, chicken legs, steaks, lobsters...

Wang Chao was so hungry that he grabbed the food and ate voraciously, paying no attention to the argument between Shen Bing and Yan Feipeng.

Filling his stomach was the most important thing. He could deal with Yan Feipeng after he finished eating.

Seeing Wang Chao eating so eagerly and enjoying the food, Shen Bing, who had initially wanted to argue with Yan Feipeng, lost interest in the quarrel. She also realized that she was feeling hungry.

It was already past 6 p.m., six hours since they had their lunch, and their stomachs had emptied long ago.

So, she no longer paid attention to Yan Feipeng and also served herself some food, slowly eating.

"You guys!!"

Yan Feipeng was seething with anger and wanted to argue with Wang Chao and Shen Bing, suppressing their arrogance.

However, Wang Chao and Shen Bing simply ate their food, completely ignoring him, not even sparing him a glance. This made him feel ignored and despised, fueling his anger even further.

"Hahaha!!"

Before Yan Feipeng could explode, Yan Guoqiang burst into laughter. He looked at Wang Chao with appreciative eyes and said, "Very well, Mr. Wang is right. We've ordered so much food; it would be a waste not to eat it."

"Come, everyone, if you have something to say or some matter to discuss, let's do it after we finish eating."

"Wang Chao, come, I propose a toast to you."

After speaking, he glared coldly at Yan Feipeng, warning him not to cause trouble.

Then, he began eating as well. He raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Chao's before taking a drink and continuing to eat.

Yan Feipeng was infuriated by his grandfather's actions and looked at Wang Chao with even more hatred.

From childhood to adulthood, although he feared Yan Guoqiang, he had always longed for his recognition. He yearned to be treated equally with Wang Chao, to clink glasses with Yan Guoqiang and receive his acknowledgment.

For this purpose, he had led his War God Corps in battles and earned numerous merits. However, he had only fought alongside his loyal protectors, and he claimed all the merits for himself.

Because of this, Yan Guoqiang still looked down on him. Even when they were sitting at the same table, Yan Guoqiang had never offered him a toast.

Now, seeing Yan Guoqiang toasting Wang Chao, his envy and jealousy flared up once again.

He ate while staring fiercely at Wang Chao, wondering, "What's so special about this guy? Isn't he just a security guard, a lackey?"

"Why can he get someone like Shen Bing, a goddess, and earn my grandfather's approval?"

He stared at Wang Chao for a long time. However, in his eyes, Wang Chao was just an ordinary, unremarkable person with nothing exceptional about him.

But Wang Chao could make Shen Bing fall in love with him and gain his grandfather's high regard. It puzzled Yan Feipeng to no end.

"Eat and drink!"

Shen Tianhuan had initially worried that a fight would break out, causing trouble and creating new enemies. However, he didn't expect Wang Chao's eating behavior to resolve the crisis.

So, he was overjoyed and kept talking, toasting, and maintaining a jovial atmosphere.

Under his deliberate adjustment, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and everyone began chatting and laughing.

During this process, Yan Guoqiang continued to toast Wang Chao, expressing his admiration and praise. Shen Bing was delighted to hear this and urged Wang Chao to return the toasts.

Hearing others praise Wang Chao made her even happier than receiving compliments herself.

Wang Chao didn't make a fuss either. He continued eating while clinking glasses with Yan Guoqiang.

One glass, two glasses, three glasses...

After the dinner, he had consumed more than fifty glasses of white wine.

Despite his formidable strength, he began to feel a bit unsteady on his feet, and his face turned red from the alcohol.

"Old Brother Shen, I had a great time at this meal. It's my great fortune to meet a talented young man like Mr. Wang. Your granddaughter has excellent taste, and finding such an ideal partner will surely elevate your Shen family to new heights."

Yan Guoqiang was also quite drunk, holding Shen Tianhuan's hand with a regretful expression and said, "They are a perfect match, and they will definitely be together in the future."

"When they get married, you must invite me to the wedding."

Afterwards, he turned to Yan Feipeng and said, "Feipeng, quickly take me back to rest."

After saying these words, he immediately collapsed, falling to the ground completely drunk.

Shen Tianhuan reacted quickly and supported Yan Guoqiang, preventing him from falling.

Yan Feipeng hadn't drunk much, and he came over to support Yan Guoqiang and said, "Old Master Shen, my grandfather is drunk, so we'll take our leave."

Without even saying a word of thanks for the hospitality, Yan Feipeng immediately carried Yan Guoqiang and left.

Before leaving, he coldly glanced at Wang Chao and Shen Bing.

"Master Yan, let me escort you," Shen Tianhuan accompanied him with a smile. After seeing Yan Feipeng off, he returned and closed the door, his expression changing from a smile to a gloomy one.

He walked back and stared at Shen Bing, saying, "Bingbing, are you deliberately opposing your grandfather?"

Shen Bing took a sip of red wine and innocently replied, "Grandfather, I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't pretend here!"

Shen Tianhuan's face darkened with anger as he glared at Shen Bing and asked, "You knew I invited Old Master Yan to establish a connection with the Yan family, and specifically to find a good match for you!"

"But you brought Wang Chao here and drove away Young Master Yan. You, you really infuriate me."

"Grandfather, look at the way Yan Feipeng behaves. He's not a suitable match for me. You're not finding me a good match; you are pushing me into a fire pit," Shen Bing said coldly.

She felt even more uncomfortable when she recalled how Yan Feipeng had ordered her to kneel down earlier. She had developed a deep disgust for him.

"But he is the young master of one of the Ten Great Clans of Yanjing. After Old Master Yan and Yan Feipeng's father pass away, he will be in charge of the entire Yan family!"

"So what? I'm looking for a husband, not power and influence."

"Why can't you see the bigger picture? That's an endless world of wealth and glory!"

"So what? We're in a modern society now, with freedom in marriage. Even if it were the Great King himself, I wouldn't marry if I didn't want to!"

"You, you infuriate me!"

Upon hearing Shen Bing's words, Shen Tianhuan was livid, stomping his feet. "Fine, fine, fine! You are all grown up now, and I can not control you. Do as you please!"

After speaking, he glared at Wang Chao and Shen Bing before turning and leaving.

After seeing them all leave, a faint smile appeared on Shen Bing's lips.

After finishing his meal, Wang Chao wiped his mouth and said, "Congratulations, two birds with one stone."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Bing asked.

Wang Chao smiled and said, "Your grandfather wanted to introduce you to Yan Feipeng. That way, you would no longer be in control of the Shen family's business, and he could also establish a connection with the prestigious Yan family. It would be a win-win situation for him."

"And you took the initiative to bring me here, driving away Yan Feipeng. It's a cunning plan, killing two birds with one stone!"

"In doing so, you not only preserved your own position but also ruined the relationship between your grandfather and the Yan family. Moreover, Yan Feipeng will now dislike you and won't pursue you anymore."

"You think I'm manipulative," Shen Bing glared at Wang Chao, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

She had acted so scheming and cunning. Would Wang Chao dislike her because of it?

"Those in high positions naturally need deep scheming, ruthless tactics, and cunning minds. Otherwise, how could they maintain control?" Wang Chao smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. We should leave too. We've had so much to drink, and I feel a bit dizzy. I need to go back and rest."

After speaking, he struggled to stand up, swaying unsteadily.

Dizzy?

Doesn't that mean I have an opportunity?

Shen Bing's eyes brightened, and she immediately took out her phone and sent a message to her secretary, "Is the room I requested ready?"

"The romantic suite? Yes, it's ready. I've already spoken to the hotel staff, and you can open the door with facial recognition," her secretary replied.

Shen Bing felt even more delighted when she saw this message. She put her phone away and supported Wang Chao, pretending to be reproachful. "If you can not handle alcohol, do not drink so much. Come, let me take you somewhere to rest."

After speaking, she helped Wang Chao walk out of the room and headed towards the room she had booked.
