Chapter 09 Tianle

As soon as they came inside, they found a ridiculously good-looking guy sitting in the living room, resembling a nobleman straight out of an executive painting.

Han Yu narrowed his eyes, wondering why he was there.

Seeing the elderly couple, Zhang Shangnan stood up, supporting himself with the sofa.

Before Grandma Shen could ask, Shen Chi Yan started introducing, "Grandma, Grandpa, this is Zhang Shangnan. I mentioned him to you guys before."

He then turned to Zhang Shangnan, saying, "Mr. Zhang, this is my grandma and grandpa. And he is my brother, Han Yu."

Zhang Shangnan nodded politely, "Hello, Grandma Shen and Grandpa Shen."

Turning to Han Yu, he said in a familiar tone, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Han here."

Han Yu shrugged, "I also didn't expect to see Mr. Zhang here. What are you doing here, Mr. Zhang?"

"It's a long story," Zhang Shangnan said while still standing.

Shen Ziyi led her grandma and grandpa to sit down before going into the kitchen to bring water for them.

When Shen Ziyi came back with water and saw him still standing, she handed over the water glass to Grandma Shen, saying, "You should sit down. Standing will put pressure on your stitches."

Hearing Shen Ziyi's words, Shen Chi Yan helped Zhang Shangnan to sit down. Seeing this, Han Yu raised his brow.

It's rare to see Shen Chi Yan helping strangers like this. Shen Chi Yan, like his dear brother, is usually like a block of ice, not bothering to spare a glance at people he doesn't know.

He leaned towards Shen Ziyi, who just sat opposite him, and asked in a low voice, "What is this big Buddha doing here?"

"He is the patient we found yesterday," Shen Ziyi said carelessly while sitting in a more comfortable position.

Grandma and Grandpa Shen also stared at the scene before them. Grandma Shen then remembered Shen Chi Yan told them he has another idol other than his brother. She took a good look at Zhang Shangnan.

He really is a handsome guy – tall nose, sharp eyebrows, thin lips, dark, deep eyes. He looks like a good person. Grandpa Shen was also staring at him.

Zhang Shangnan, who is used to being stared at, started to feel a little awkward. He subconsciously turned to look towards Shen Ziyi, only to see him sitting comfortably and playing with his phone.

Grandma Shen seemed to understand his mind and smiled kindly, "Hello, young man. Welcome to our home. Don't be shy here; treat it as your home. Our little Yan is a big fan of yours. He also showed us your movie."

Zhang Shangnan nodded, "Shen Ziyi told me about him."

Grandpa Shen was more straightforward, "How did you come to our house? I don't remember hearing from my children that they knew you before."

This man was clearly smiling, but his eyes were very deep, and his aura was very strong, which he tried to hide but Grandpa Shen, who was in the army before, could still sense. Grandpa Shen could tell his hands must be stained with blood.

Even Grandpa Shen could tell this; how could Shen Ziyi, who had already lived her life for thousands of years, always walking on the edge of a knife, not see this?

When she first stood in front of him, she could tell he is a good-looking devil hiding behind a smiling mask.

She glanced at her grandpa after hearing his words, lowered her head, and continued playing. She had no intention of talking about Zhang Shangnan.

Zhang Shangnan also understood it. He said to Grandpa Shen in a good-natured manner, "You(nín) know I am an actor. I was shooting nearby when I got hurt. It was Shen Ziyi and Shen Chi Yan who brought me here and helped me treat the wounds."

Grandma Shen was more concerned about it than other details. She asked worriedly, "Are you okay now, Mr. Zhang? Why don't you let Shen Ziyi take you to the hospital? It will be bad if we delay the proper time for treatment."

Zhang Shangnan explained with a smile, "It's a small wound, nothing serious. Thanks to Shen Ziyi, it is okay now. We don't need to go to the hospital anymore."

He really looked like a jade-like, handsome prince who smiled warmly at everyone, only if one ignored the deep look in his eyes.

Shen Ziyi glanced at him indifferently. Han Yu, who also knew about his gunshot wound, looked at him.

He is lying without blinking. What a scum, Han Yu thought.

...

Downstair.

Zhang Shangnan looked at the retreating figures of Shen Ziyi and Han Yu, deep in thought.

He could see that Shen Ziyi treated Han Yu casually, and Han Yu was also casual with Shen Ziyi.

Their relationship seemed quite close, but how did they know each other?

Han Yu is the young master of the Han family in the capital, and he is also the CEO of WJ Entertainment.

WJ Entertainment was founded four years ago under 'Tianle' but became a dark horse in the entertainment industry within a year and a half, firmly ranking behind 'ZhangYu.'

'ZhangYu' is under Zhang Corporation. 'ZhangYu' was founded much earlier than WJ Entertainment, but it only took a little more than a year to stand behind ZhangYu.

It's often estimated that within a few years, WJ Entertainment will dominate this industry along with ZhangYu. And it's already on its way to doing so.

'Tianle' started as a domestic real estate company, then it began to involve itself in other industries within a year. Many people in the business didn't think much about this new company.

However, Tianle left everyone behind at astonishing speeds and stepped into the international business market. It got involved in a huge range of industries. People often state that 'Tianle's president also has connections with underworld figures, but nobody is sure about this. A few days before, 'Tianle's president was listed as Hua Country's richest person and ranked within the top ten in the world.

But nobody has yet seen this person who has achieved this astonishing feat. The media only knows that this person is very young and goes by the code name 'SZ'.

..

Zhang Shangnan turned to look at Shen Chi Yan, who was playing with Little Mi and little Bay opposite him, and asked softly, "Shen Chi Yan, how long has your brother known Han Yu?" Han Yu is the same age as him, twenty-seven, and Shen Ziyi is only twenty.

Shen Chi Yan looked blank, "I don't know. I only got to know my brother last year."

Zhang Shangnan raised his brow. Shen Chi Yan explained, "We are not related by blood. My brother saved me, and then adopted me."

Zhang Shangnan was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Your brother is a good person."

Shen Chi Yan nodded heavily, looked down again. Zhang Shangnan couldn't see his expression.

Suddenly, they heard someone shouting from outside, "Little Yan, someone's looking for your brother."

"Coming," Shen Chi Yan went out.
