Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!
Chapter 171 It's so satisfying to watch others get chopped up.
In the capital city, where powerful families abound, the Shen family, which has only just begun to understand the ways of the world, is naturally out of reach.
They could only afford a small villa in an ordinary wealthy neighborhood.
However, the Shen family also spent a lot of money on tonight's banquet, which was extremely grand.
Wu Zhao arrived right on time and took a taxi.
The blue and white taxi looked quite out of place among the various high-end luxury cars.
Even the taxi driver felt a little guilty seeing this scene.
"Miss, well... I'll just park outside. I'm afraid if I go in, I'll scratch other cars, and I can't afford to pay for the damage even if I sell my car!"
Wu Zhao saw his worry and fear, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can let me off the bus here."
Fortunately, the customer was easy to talk to, and the driver breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the car.
Although he arrived right on time, quite a few people outside still saw Wu Zhao getting out of the taxi.
Those people couldn't help but show contempt when they saw that Wu Zhao, dressed casually, was a complete stranger.
"The Shen family is really not respectable; any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come here to attend the banquet."
"If it weren't for the Ye family backing me up, I wouldn't want to come to such a degrading place."
"Who says it's not..."
The rustling of pointing came from the crowd, but Wu Zhao ignored it and walked straight into the villa.
The security guards at the villa didn't recognize her, but seeing how she acted as if she were in her own backyard, they hesitated to stop her.
The butler had specifically instructed that the people attending the banquet today were all wealthy and influential, and that they should not be offended easily.
So, are they going to stop them or not?
Soon a familiar figure emerged from the villa. The man was tall and handsome, but his face showed signs of fatigue.
It's Shen Chuan.
Seeing him shrouded in black aura, Wu Zhao burst out laughing.
"Zhao Zhao?" Shen Chuan was a little surprised to see Wu Zhao. Then he walked over and said, "You're back? Perfect timing. Today is the Shen family's banquet, and you're a member of the Shen family now."
The security guard relaxed immediately upon hearing the young master's words.
Fortunately, he didn't stop her, but he never expected that she was actually a member of the Shen family.
Hearing the young master call her Zhaozhao, could she be his fiancée or something...?
“I wouldn’t dare to presume to be associated with the Shen family. Mr. and Mrs. Shen have said that I am just an adopted daughter, and the Shen family’s glory has nothing to do with me.” Wu Zhao laughed sarcastically.
Shen Chuan frowned: "Zhao Zhao, are you still angry with your parents? You know, Jiao Jiao has been exceptionally loved by your parents since she was little. It's understandable that they might be a little biased, but it doesn't mean they don't value you..."
Wu Zhao raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "Alright, I don't want to hear you rambling on and on."
"So what brings you here today?" Shen Chuan couldn't help but ask.
She walked right past him, her tone light and carrying a certain hidden meaning: "Of course I'm here to see what it's like for some people to fall from heaven to hell—"
Wu Zhao spoke bluntly, but Shen Chuan behind him suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.
An ominous premonition gripped his heart.
No, he reassured himself.
With the Ye family's sponsorship, the Shen family has firmly established itself in the capital. All the guests here today are here to support the Shen family…
How could anything possibly happen?
As Shen Chuan followed Wu Zhao into the villa, he thought to himself.
Shen Jiaojiao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and helping her father entertain the guests, almost dropped the champagne in her hand when she saw Wu Zhao walk in.
"Sister, sister..." Shen Jiaojiao seemed a little scared and shrank back behind her father.
Mr. Shen, who was having a lively conversation with his distinguished guest, suddenly became somewhat displeased.
He turned his head and saw Wu Zhao, who was completely at ease, and frowned: "Why is she here?"
Shen Chuan noticed that he was about to get angry, so he quickly went to his side and said, "Father, we have important guests at home today. Don't let outsiders ruin our good mood."
Shen Yiheng quickly composed himself, his tone stiff: "Why did you bring her in? Her name isn't among the guests tonight!"
His voice wasn't very loud, but Wu Zhao still heard it.
Wu Zhao took out the gold-embossed invitation from his pocket and waved it with a smile: "I'm not without a reason."
That golden invitation was the highest-level invitation from the Shen family, specially customized for Gu Chen!
It's all real gold.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen didn't manage to invite him, but instead brought back this evil spirit!
Thinking this, Shen Yiheng became increasingly displeased.
"Find a way to take her away. Your mother will be coming down soon. She'll definitely be unhappy to see her."
Shen Chuan hesitated for a moment: "But she is a member of the Shen family after all, so why not let her stay here? I will keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble."
“Brother, we have a very important guest coming tonight. We can’t afford to make any mistakes…” Shen Jiaojiao hesitated and whispered behind her father, “If something happens when that person arrives, it might be hard to explain.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Yiheng immediately realized that Shen Jiaojiao's words made sense.
His earlier hesitation to agree vanished instantly, and he immediately said, "Let her go!"
Shen Chuan was helpless.
He had no choice but to walk to Wu Zhao's side, but before he could speak, he heard Wu Zhao say, "The negotiations failed, so you can kick me out?"
"How...how did you know?" Shen Chuan asked, somewhat surprised.
Because your Shen family has always been driven by profit. Wu Zhao said indifferently, "Too bad, you can't get rid of me."
"Your distinguished guest has arrived."
The old man, surrounded by a group of uniformed guards, walked in with deep-set eyes and a powerful stride.
"You've arrived!" Shen Yiheng walked to the old man's side with surprise and respect, bowing his head: "It is an honor for my humble villa that you have graced me with your presence!"
Other guests couldn't help but show expressions of shock and fear when they saw the old man.
This... is that big shot who frequently appears on TV!
I never expected the Shen family to actually gain his favor!
What incredible luck!
"Grandpa Feng, you've finally arrived!" Shen Jiaojiao approached the old man and affectionately took his arm.
"You're the star of tonight's banquet, shall I show you around?" She smiled charmingly and even wrinkled her nose innocently.
Old Feng's stern features softened, and he said with a smile, "Alright, alright, you silly girl. It's this old man who's late!"
The two chatted intimately, like grandfather and grandson, while the guards watched them leave without leaving their side.
"Old Feng is the pillar of the military and a leading figure in China. You... shouldn't do anything else." Shen Chuan couldn't bear it after all and reminded him.
Wu Zhao merely gave him a cold look.
The moment that old man walked in, she sensed a strong aura of yin and malice.
The merits of that body are about to be exhausted.
Do you really think that having merit can deceive the laws of heaven?
Once all that merit has been used up, the Heavenly Dao, realizing it has been deceived, will only become even more furious.
Hearing faint rumbling sounds outside, Wu Zhao pursed his lips.
"That really is... courting death."
But thankfully, she wasn't struck down by the laws of Heaven!
Thinking this, Wu Zhao smiled with a hint of schadenfreude.
