Stealing Your Heart Chapter 496


    Even Su Zhan perked up upon seeing this uninvited guest. He was full of disdain for this man who


    lusted after his friend’s wife. “Ah, a rare guest indeed. What are you nning this time?”


    Bai Yinning ignored him and looked at Guan Jing. “Please inform him I’m here.”


    “Stop putting on an act. You’re acting like a gentleman even though deep down you harbor ill


    intentions. How could you be so shameless?”


    “I’m shameless?” Bai Yinning snorted. He didn’t want to argue with Su Zhan, but the man’s words


    made him furious. “Did your wife cheat on you with me? Why do you hate me so much?”


    “You—”


    Shen Peichuan immediately stopped Su Zhan lest they really start hitting each other. “You’re all famous


    people. Don’t humiliate yourself in public.”


    Bai Yinning red at them. “Chief Shen, he provoked me first. I might be a cripple, but that doesn’t


    mean I don’t have a temper!”


    Shen Peichuan nced at him and scoffed before leaving with Su Zhan in tow. Su Zhan refused to


    back down and tried to break free from his grasp.


    “Stop it. Do you really want to get into a fight with him here?” Shen Peichuan reminded him and pulled


    his hand. “Let’s go have breakfast.”


    Su Zhan was disgruntled. “I’m not in the mood to eat.”


    “You have to eat no matter what. Do you think you can survive just by breathing?” Shen Peichuan


    demanded. Why do they like to torture themselves? He thought in exasperation.


    “We don’t have enough men. If it wasn’t for Gu Bei, I would’ve sent someone to find out where Xinyan


    and Qin Ya were. As soon as this is over, I’ll send our men to find their whereabouts.”


    He would’ve sent his men after the girls if they had enough manpower.


    “I was mad at Bai Yinning. He’s too harsh.”


    “I know. Don’t worry, he’ll end up in our handster. You can punish him by then.” Shen Peichuan


    patted his shoulder tofort him.


    Su Zhan grunted in agreement. As there was a store selling breakfast across the street, they made


    their way there.


    The store was on the third floor. On the right side was a ss wall. You could see the splendid view


    outside no matter where you were seated. After sitting down, Shen Peichuan ordered three bowls of


    century egg and pork congee with a few other side dishes. When he returned the menu to the server,


    he said, “Please pack up one serving of the congee.”


    “No problem. Your order will be here soon,” the waiter replied and left.


    Shen Peichuan picked up the ss of free water and took a sip. When he ced it back on the table,


    he asked, “You’re acting strangely. What’s wrong?”


    Su Zhan sighed. “Don’t you think we’re weirdos?”


    “Weirdos? How so?” Shen Peichuan furrowed his brows. What is he going to say now?


    “We’re no longer young. Besides our career, what else do we have?”


    This was the first time Shen Peichuan had ever seen Su Zhan being so pessimistic. He was the most


    cheerful one among the three of them. Su Zhan might be talkative, but it still felt strange when he


    became quiet all of a sudden.


    He would rather let Su Zhan tease him about him being a virgin than being this quiet.


    Shen Peichuan couldn’t enjoy his meal upon seeing a dejected Su Zhan. The food was delicious, but it


    tasted nd to him.


    Crash! Suddenly, the sound of ss shattering on the floor was heard. A new waitress had bumped


    into a customer. The ss of water she was holding spilled onto the customer’s body before it


    shattered into pieces on the ground.


    “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The new waitress hurriedly apologized.


    As the server’s voice seemed familiar, Shen Peichuan turned to see who it was. He saw Sang Yu


    dressed in the store’s uniform—an apron with white flowers embroidered on it. She was bowing and


    apologizing to the customer.


    Actually, the male customer was the one who stood up abruptly and bumped into her. Her manager had


    told her when she was hired, “Our customers are mostly working nearby, so they are really influential. If


    a conflict arises, we need to apologize first. The customer is king, get it?”


    That was what her manager had told her, so the first thing she did was apologize profusely.


    However, this middle-aged man dressed in a professional suit insisted, “Are you blind? I have a


    meeting with an important clientter. How can I meet him in this state?”


    Sang Yu continued apologizing. “I’m really sorry.”


    “What’s the use of apologizing?” The middle-aged man who wore sses seemed like an easygoing


    person, but in reality, he refused to back down.


    Right then, the manager came to him. “I’m really sorry for the poor service. This is her first day at work,


    so she is still getting used to it. Please forgive her this once.”


    The middle-aged man scoffed, “Do you know how expensive my suit is? Look at the huge stain. How


    am I going to meet my client wearing this?”


    The manager apologized frantically. “We’re really sorry. I’ll make sure she learns her lesson. Please


    forgive us.”


    “Is saying sorry and asking for forgiveness the right way to solve this problem?” the man demanded.


    “Then how do you want them to solve it?” Shen Peichuan strode to them. As this breakfast store was


    located in the financial district in B City, most of the men were dressed in professional suits. Thedies


    were d in formal wear, too. But as Shen Peichuan didn’t work here, he was wearing a casual outfit.


    He wasn’t even wearing his uniform as he was off duty. Nevertheless, he towered above the middle-


    aged man. With his icy expression, it was apparent which of the two had the upper hand.


    He exuded an oppressive aura because he was used to arresting armed criminals.


    The middle-aged man looked up and asked, “Who are you?”


    This wasn’t Shen Peichuan’s first time here. He had been here several times with Zong Jinghao, so the


    manager knew who he was. She immediately greeted him with a smile. “Captain Shen.”


    Shen Peichuan didn’t return her smile. Instead, he looked straight at Sang Yu and questioned, “What


    happened?”


    He knew the middle-aged man was after money. If it was Sang Yu’s fault, she shouldpensate him.


    But if it wasn’t her fault, he shouldn’t receive anypensation.


    The middle-aged man was stunned. The surrounding buildings were all leading corporations, so he


    didn’t know which captain was the manager referring to. He had never heard of that form of address


    here.


    At that thought, he glowered at the manager. “Don’t try to scare me.”

    Sang Yu nced at the arrogant man and replied honestly, “I was going to serve the customer at that


    table. He was sitting here.” She pointed at the man’s seat. “Then, he stood up before walking toward


    me with his eyes on his phone—”


    “What nonsense is that!” The man dered.


    Shen Peichuan swept his gaze across the man’s phone in his right hand. The man took a step back


    instinctively. Su Zhan, who had been watching the entire debacle, leaned back against his chairzily.


    “Mister, where do you work?” He despised bullies like that middle-aged man.


    The man nced at Su Zhan and Shen Peichuan before realizing they obviously weren’t people he


    should mess with. He snorted and said, “Forget it. What an unlucky day.”


    With that, he turned and left.


    Su Zhan’s sarcastic voice rang out, “Hey, don’t leave. Why are you leaving? We haven’tpensated


    you for your loss. Do you know Wanyue Group right across the street? We’ll be waiting for you there.”
