C8 A Fight Between Men and Women Okay?

Originally headed to the VIP section of the bar, Shen Juchuan spotted Su Xiaoyu's silhouette in the crowd. Surprised at his ability to recognize her so quickly, Shen Juchuan decided to leave the group of women waiting for him in the VIP area to confirm if she really had become that recognizable to him.

Unfortunately, Shen Juchuan, full of anticipation, didn't hear a single pleasant word from Su Xiaoyu. Especially when she criticized him as "lacking in skills," it was almost unbearable.

The first to notice Shen Juchuan wasn't the flustered Su Xiaoyu, but her friend, Jiuer. Nudging Su Xiaoyu with her elbow, Jiuer exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that your brother Su Mo's rumored partner?"

"Rumored partner? My brother's?" Su Xiaoyu turned her head in confusion, only to see Shen Juchuan's expression clouded with uncertainty.

It was like being doused with cold water in the middle of winter; Su Xiaoyu snapped back to reality, pointing at Shen Juchuan in disbelief as she looked at Jiuer. "He's the guy rumored to be with my brother?"

Jiuer blinked and said, "Yeah, didn't I show you the news?"

Jiuer was the friend who kept Su Xiaoyu informed from back home. Since Su Xiaoyu had secretly returned without telling her family, she was temporarily staying at Jiuer's rented apartment. If her brother Su Mo found out she had returned home, abandoning her studies for her own "happiness," Su Xiaoyu would likely be sent back the next day.

With Jiuer's confirmation, Su Xiaoyu felt her entire worldview crumbling.

"You... you're really Shen Juchuan?" Su Xiaoyu asked, still in disbelief, pointing at him.

"Heh, you came to interview at Shen's Group, and you don't even know the name of the CEO?" Shen Juchuan said, rubbing his forehead.

Originally, he found Su Xiaoyu's determination to stay at Shen's Group somewhat puzzling. It wasn't until he overheard Muh Jiuer's conversation that he understood the connection between Su Mo and Su Xiaoyu, piecing together her true intentions for joining Shen's. However, at this moment, Shen Juchuan had no interest in explaining his relationship with Su Mo to Su Xiaoyu.

He stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Su Xiaoyu, offering a friendly nod to the stunned Muh Jiuer. "Thanks for looking after Xiaoyu," he said, ignoring Su Xiaoyu's struggles as he firmly led her away from the booth.

While calling the driver to come quickly, Shen Juchuan supported the slightly unsteady Su Xiaoyu, his expression dark as they headed toward the bar's exit.

"Let go of me! If you don't, I'll start yelling!" Su Xiaoyu protested, struggling against him. She could feel a strong sense of threat looming over her. She was convinced that if she didn't escape today, Shen Juchuan would definitely give her a hard time.

She was on the verge of tears, never having imagined that the person rumored to be involved with her brother, Su Mo, was none other than the president of Shen's Group. Would Old Master Shen approve of such a relationship? Wasn't he worried about not having grandchildren?

If Old Master Shen disapproved, what would happen to her brother? Would the family elders break them apart? Su Xiaoyu's friend, Chiang Tang, had always said she had a knack for worrying about others. Even in this situation, Su Xiaoyu was still contemplating the various possibilities for her seemingly bent brother's future.

Perhaps the bar patrons were used to such scenes, or maybe no one dared to stop a regular like Shen Juchuan. In the end, Su Xiaoyu was ushered into a stretch limo with a partition separating the driver.

"You said I wasn't up to the task, right? Well, today I'll show you just how wrong you are!"

Su Xiaoyu found herself unceremoniously tossed onto a leather couch wide enough to lie on. She was taken aback, pointing at Shen Juchuan in disbelief. "Wait, aren't you into men?"

Is that why you ignore women who practically deliver themselves to your doorstep? And why you seem blind to Tong Yuv's attention?

A hint of a mysterious smile played on Shen Juchuan's lips as he replied, "I swing both ways. Is that a problem?"

Could she even say it was?

Su Xiaoyu was on the verge of tears. She was here for her brother's happiness, not to be a stumbling block. "What about my brother? Oh no..."

As if it wasn't enough that a bunch of men were interested, now there were women too. Her brother's love life was in jeopardy!

Shen Juchuan's forehead creased in frustration. "Who told you Su Mo likes men?"

Huh?

Su Xiaoyu was stunned, forgetting to struggle as she mumbled, "But the tabloids back home wrote about you and my brother..."

For the first time, Shen Juchuan felt the urge to throw something. He rubbed his forehead, exasperated. "You believe those tabloids?"

"So, my brother has nothing to do with you? He's straight?" Su Xiaoyu asked, barely containing her excitement.

"And you're worried about your brother? Shouldn't you be more concerned about yourself?" Shen Juchuan's eyes glinted with a dangerous edge as his breath lightly brushed against Su Xiaoyu's cheek.
