Zhao Shibo was even more at home than Shen Ye, the host. Without the slightest sense of being an outsider, he casually opened the door.
Contrary to Shen Nanyi's expectations, the person who came in was a rather gentle - looking young man. He seemed to be under thirty, and at least he looked more pleasant than Zhao Shibo.
But when meeting Zhao Bowen's gaze, Shen Nanyi knew that this man in front of her was not as gentle as he seemed. The look in his eyes didn't lie.
Zhao Bowen's gaze was too gloomy, with something unfathomable in it, and there was even a hint of calculation hidden deep inside.
"Good evening, everyone. I'm really sorry to trouble you all so late." Anyway, Zhao Bowen was very good at maintaining appearances. At least he was more acceptable than Zhao Shibo's arrogant attitude.
Thanks to Zhao Bowen's words, the atmosphere on the scene finally wasn't so awkward.
Standing quietly in place, Shen Nanyi had no intention of speaking first. She was quite calm. She wanted to see how Zhao Bowen would play this out. It seemed that Zhao Bowen was more sophisticated than Zhao Shibo. She hoped he wouldn't disappoint her too much.
In fact, even if Shen Nanyi wanted to interrupt, she had no chance. Since Zhao Bowen entered the door, Zhao Shibo hadn't stopped talking. He sounded so aggrieved that an outsider might think he had suffered a great deal: "Bowen, these people are bullying us just because we're new here. They're trying to extort money from me. Look at all these things on the ground. They actually want me to pay tens of millions. They're so greedy."
Without giving anyone on the scene a chance to speak, Zhao Shibo spoke first, portraying himself as a victim and turning all the on - lookers into villains.
Everyone thought Zhao Shibo was already shameless enough before, but they never expected that when a person has no sense of shame, there's really no limit. He could even say such things.
"Dad, I got it." Throughout, Zhao Bowen's voice was very soft. Miraculously, Zhao Shibo really quieted down.
Watching the interaction between the father and son, Shen Nanyi's lips curled up playfully. It seemed that Zhao Shibo was quite afraid of his son.
After Zhao Shibo quieted down, Zhao Bowen shifted his gaze to Shen Yi on the side: "I'm really sorry for breaking your things. My father can be a bit hot - tempered sometimes."
Zhao Bowen's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good. Not only was his tone sincere, but he also bowed to Shen Yi to apologize.
In his anger, Shen Yi had thought of many possibilities, but he never expected Zhao Bowen to be so polite. His own upbringing prevented him from getting angry at an innocent person, and he felt extremely uncomfortable with the anger stuck in his chest.
After apologizing, Zhao Bowen grabbed his father and was about to leave. Not getting his revenge, Zhao Shibo still wanted to struggle, but when he met his son's gaze, he didn't dare to say a word.
Perhaps because Zhao Bowen's attitude had been so sincere just now, no one on the scene, not even Shen Yi, felt that something was wrong.
"Wait a minute." It was Shen Nanyi's voice that stopped the father - son pair who were about to leave. Looking at Zhao Bowen half - smiling, Shen Nanyi felt that her perception of the world had been refreshed again.
"Little girl, I've apologized on behalf of my father for his mistake. Please be more understanding. Old people can be hot - tempered sometimes. Why are you being so persistent?" Stopping in his tracks, Zhao Bowen spoke earnestly.
Some of the on - lookers who had been on Shen Nanyi's side began to waver. People are always like this, inclined to sympathize with the weak.
Hearing Zhao Bowen's words, Shen Nanyi couldn't help but burst out laughing. What a shameless act of changing the subject!
So, after breaking their things, Zhao Bowen not only didn't want to compensate but also wanted to label her as an overbearing and disrespectful person? What an ultimate jerk!
In her three lifetimes, Shen Nanyi had never met such a shameless person before.
