Big Shot's Reincarnation Sweeps the World - Chapter 774
Chapter 774: Yangyang, Don’t Be Afraid
“They surely won’t let it go so easily.”
“Yeah.”

Sheng Yang had just walked out of the university gate when someone blocked her way.
She was carrying her bag, and her eyes didn’t look friendly. “Why haven’t you left?”
Most of the people from the Ivy League should have returned by now.
Yates still had the air of a natural aristocrat, and his eyes were still full of admiration. It had been a long time since he’d met a woman who interested him so much. “I came to invite you to dinner.”
Sheng Yang glanced at him with a faint smile. “You’re not very intelligent, but you’re very humorous.”
This was an insult, but there was no way to return it. Besides, Yates was a nobleman, after all. He instinctively maintained his poise, but he was feeling less pleasant now.
Even so, such a thorny rose carried a different charm to her.
Yates’ smile was charming, and he sounded confident. “It’s alright to refuse now. You’ll say yes later.”
As soon as he said that, a voice came from afar. “Sheng Yang.”
Sheng Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at the person who had come. It was Old Master Sheng and Old Madam Sheng. They had not been to the capital for a long time. They actually appeared together. After Old Master Sheng called out to Sheng Yang, he quickly turned to look at Yates. The two of them seemed to be old acquaintances, and Old Master Sheng even looked a little inferior. “Young Master Yates.”
Faced with Old Master Sheng’s politeness, Yates did not act superior. Instead, he greeted politely, “Old Master Sheng.”
Old Madam Sheng looked at Yates with a smile, satisfied.
Then, Old Master Sheng coughed lightly and said, “Sheng Yang, come with us to have a meal with Young Master Yates. Young Master Yates came from afar, and we’re the hosts. We should act as hosts.”
…
Sheng Yang stared at Old Master Sheng with clear eyes. Was he joking?
Under the stalemate, Old Master Sheng could no longer maintain the expression on his face. He persuaded kindly, saying, “Your parents are now in charge of Sheng Corporation and Young Master Yates’ family business.”
He thought that with Sheng Yang’s personality, she would submit to him.
Sheng Yang chuckled coldly. Sheng Corporation? Those small gains didn’t mean much. If her parents still wanted to run a company, she would just let them do whatever they wanted.
“Grandpa, Grandma, what are you doing?” At this moment, another person appeared at the university gate. The usually gentle man had a look of faint anger on his face. He had heard the news and rushed over. Sheng Hanjing rarely looked so tough. He said seriously, “Sheng Corporation is Sheng Corporation, while Yangyang is Yangyang. Don’t threaten her with these things!”
He turned to Sheng Yang with a gentle smile and stroked her hair. “Yangyang, don’t be afraid. Come with me.”
Sheng Yang winked, indicating she’d always been fearless.
No matter what Old Master Sheng and Old Madam Sheng shouted behind them, Sheng Hanjing ignored them.
Sheng Hanjing usually seemed to be aloof from worldly affairs, but once he lost his temper, no one would be able to stop him.
He was usually almost obedient to the two elders, but they did not expect him to turn hostile today.
…
The siblings found a restaurant to eat at. Sheng Hanjing absent-mindedly scooped up the mushroom soup in his bowl and said gently, “Yangyang, don’t take what happened today to heart.”
