Chapter 62 - The Moment of Unconsciousness
The moment the door of the lounge opened, the originally noisy sounds outside suddenly disappeared. Qin Ruo Chu's heart was moved for some reason, and then he was led out of the resting room by Shen Mu Sheng. There were already many people standing outside the resting room. Occasionally, Qin Ruo Chu would still remember seeing one or two of them when he was eating at the Shen Mansion.
Qin Ruo Chu maintained his smile the entire time, and looked at everyone present, but did not look at any one of them.
Old Lady Shen came out of the other resting room with the support of Qiao Yi Tong. Even with so many people watching, Old Lady Shen still didn't give Qin Ruo Chu a good look, and didn't even look at her once.
The surrounding people started to clamor, but Shen Mu Sheng did not care, "Since everyone is here, and they're ready, let's begin, everyone's time is very precious." After all, Shen Mu Sheng was the current manager of the Shen family. Even those who were unconvinced behind the scenes had nothing to say after hearing this, the ancestral worship ceremony was about to begin.
Very quickly, all of the upper echelons of the Shen family were standing in the huge hall. As the leader of the Shen family, Shen Mu Sheng was naturally standing at the front, and Qin Ruo Chu was standing on the left. On the right side was Old Lady Shen, who was being supported by Qiao Yi Tong.
Qin Ruo Chu was currently at Shen Mu Sheng's side. Her sight was no longer clear, and she did not do much as she shook her head. However, when she opened her eyes in the next second, it was still not clear. Qin Ruo Chu's figure shook, but she quickly stabilized herself.
Because the incense was about to burn, Shen Mu Sheng had already pulled back his arm from Qin Ruo Chu's body. He could only vaguely sense that there was someone at his side.
Shen Mu Sheng took the incense, walked forward two steps, and inserted it into the cauldron. When he returned, Old Lady Shen had already received the incense, but she did not directly go forward. Everyone knew that Old Lady Shen had something to say.
"Everyone, these are all well-known figures of the Shen family. Taking advantage of today's great day as an offering to our ancestors, I have a few words to say that I'm unhappy!" Speaking till here, the Old Lady Shen paused, her gaze sweeping across Shen Mu Sheng's face, and at the same time, saw Shen Mu Sheng looking at her.
The Old Lady Shen sneered, "I believe everyone knows that the Shen family has always been respectful and orderly, and marriage is the order of the parents, but our boss took the initiative and married a woman back. This old woman, I don't agree! "
Although Old Lady Shen was old, she still spoke with confidence and confidence. Old Lady Shen swept the crowd with her burning gaze, and in the end stared at Shen Mu Sheng's face.
"Everyone, let's talk about how we're going to settle this matter today. If everyone feels that such a girl with an unknown background, with a bad family background can become the manager of our Shen family, I would have nothing to say! "If …"
Ripples had already formed in Shen Mu Sheng's eyes long ago, but when she lowered her eyes, the surrounding people couldn't see the look in his eyes.
Before Old Lady Shen could finish her words, she was cut off by a cold voice, "What if …" Shen Mu Sheng raised his eyes, which were filled with dense coldness.
Old Lady Shen was interrupted by Shen Mu Sheng, and the remaining words were forcefully held in her mouth. She exchanged glances with Shen Mu Sheng, and Old Lady Shen was shocked by the cold look in her eyes.
"What does the wife that I Shen Mu Sheng married have to do with you?" As he spoke, his eyes swept across everyone. Everyone present heard Shen Mu Sheng's cold voice, and at this moment, other than Old Lady Shen, no one dared interrupt.
In that few minutes that Shen Mu Sheng had spoken, no one dared to say a word. In the huge hall, with tens of people, it was as if there was no one else. Everyone held their breaths, and did not dare to take the lead, because every single one of them knew of Shen Mu Sheng's abilities in the Cloud City. If they angered Shen Mu Sheng, he would not care if your surname was Shen or not.
Shen Mu Sheng's cold gaze swept across Old Lady Shen who was standing beside her. Old Lady Shen did not think that Shen Mu Sheng would not give her this much face, she actually denied her face in front of the Shen family, in front of so many people.
At this time, Old Lady Shen's face was also alternating between red and white, while her lips were also tightened into a displeased straight line.
"Grandmother, I told you this a long time ago. Qin Ruo Chu, she's my wife, this matter has already been settled …" As Shen Mu Sheng said that, his gaze was still fixated on Old Lady Shen's face, but he raised his hand to grab Qin Ruo Chu's waist.
Qin Ruo Chu was easily lured over by Shen Mu Sheng, but at the same time, Qin Ruo Chu's consciousness had already reached its limit. She had originally been muddle-headed and had already entered a state of unconsciousness, yet she actually took advantage of the situation and fell forward while being surrounded by Shen Mu Sheng.
Shen Mu Sheng frowned and quickly made his move. In the next second, he was already holding Qin Ruo Chu in his arms.
"Ruo Chu..." Shen Mu Sheng called out softly, but there was no response. At the same time, Shen Mu Sheng also saw Qin Ruo Chu's pale white face that was almost devoid of blood. At this moment, Qin Ruo Chu's eyes were tightly shut and his forehead was filled with cold sweat.
Shen Mu Sheng was shocked, "Ruo Chu!" In the next second, Shen Mu Sheng had already carried Qin Ruo Chu by the waist, and before the people around could react, Shen Mu Sheng had already strode through the crowd and towards the car park.
Shen Mu Sheng's movements was extremely fast, and by the time everyone had reacted, his figure had already arrived at the main gate.
"This... "What's going on?"
"They are offering sacrifices to their ancestors. This... Why did the boss run away? "
"Old granny, you don't need to worry about it. Worship of the Ancestor is no small matter, why did you leave just like that?"
The sounds of discussions in the surroundings grew louder and louder following Shen Mu Sheng's departure. Old Lady Shen watched Shen Mu Sheng's retreating back and his old face became as cold as it could get.
Qiao Yi Tong frowned, he never thought that such a scene would occur, where Qin Ruo Chu actually fainted during the ancestral worship ceremony.
"How could this be? I have to go see sister-in-law …" Shen Mu Qiao panicked, only then did he react and was about to follow after.
Before he could even take a step forward, he was pulled back by Lu Ting You, "Now is not the time, believe in Mu Sheng, nothing will happen to her, let's finish the ancestral worship ceremony peacefully." Lu Ting You maintained a clear mind under all circumstances.
Shen Mu Qiao still wanted to say something, but when he turned his head and saw Old Lady Shen's extremely dark face, he opened his mouth, but gave up in the end. He could only silently pray in his heart that her sister-in-law was alright.
While the crowd was still chattering, Qiao Yi Tong withdrew his shocked and resentful gaze and whispered into the Old Lady Shen's ears, "Grandmother, the Ancestor still needs to continue …"
Old Lady Shen reacted, she patted Qiao Yi Tong's hands, and said with a cold face: "Everyone quiet, the ancestral worship ceremony will continue!"
Old Lady Shen's voice was not loud, but it was filled with confidence and majesty. Everyone also gradually quietened down.
