Chapter 347: Don't Worry, the Bathtub is Big Enough
Upon hearing this, Sha Jiayu's face changed.
"Uncle Gao, am I your young master, or is she your young lady?"
And who is Chairman Shen?
Sha Jiayu's first reaction was whether Uncle Gao had switched jobs. After further thought, he deemed it unlikely because Uncle Gao had been driving for their family for nearly 20 years. Besides, if he had switched jobs, he wouldn't be driving this Maybach anymore.
At this time, Uncle Gao had already helped Zhou Peiwei and Luo Bingying put their luggage in the trunk and was opening the rear door for them while considerately blocking the top edge of the car door.
Sha Jiayu, who had just claimed the Maybach and the driver as his own, seemed somewhat unable to save face. He walked over and whispered, "Uncle Gao, what exactly is going on?"
Uncle Gao was indeed in a tight spot, torn between his boss, Sha Yongshan, and his son.
He didn't want to offend either party, so he could only explain, "Young master, it's Chairman Sha's guest, Chairman Shen, who arranged for me to pick people up. Chairman Shen is an important guest of Chairman Sha."
"So my dad has you driving around this so-called Chairman Shen these days?"
Sha Jiayu found it hard to believe. Uncle Gao was Old Sha's personal driver, and he had never seen Old Sha let Uncle Gao drive for anyone else.
"Yes."
Uncle Gao knew that Chairman Shen was very important to Chairman Sha, so he dared not neglect him.
"Damn it!"
Sha Jiayu muttered under his breath. He thought his father had sent Uncle Gao with the Maybach to give him a leg up, but it turned out his father had arranged the car and driver for a guest.
And this guest had a not-so-low status.
Most importantly, the guest knew Zhou Peiwei, and his plan to show off had been utterly ripped apart by a twist of fate, leaving him with nowhere to hide his embarrassment.
He was so embarrassed he could dig out a townhouse. Just now, he had said in front of Zhou Peiwei, "My family has already sent a driver to pick me up; which hotel are you going to? I'll take you there."
How the hell was he going to face Zhou Peiwei when they got back to school in a few days?
Upon hearing the curse, Uncle Gao's face stiffened, and Sha Jiayu hurriedly gestured, "No, Uncle Gao, I wasn't cursing you."
Uncle Gao's face softened a bit before he said, "Young master, then I'll take the two ladies to the hotel first."
"Let's go together. I'll sit in the front."
Sha Jiayu suggested.
Uncle Gao looked somewhat troubled. He knew that the two ladies had left the station with Sha Jiayu, but they seemed completely uninterested in Sha Jiayu.
Having watched Sha Jiayu grow up, Uncle Gao could roughly guess what he was thinking.
With the thought of not offending Chairman Sha's important guest, Uncle Gao took out his phone, "I'll call Chairman Sha first."
"Uncle Gao, there's no need for that..."
Sha Jiayu tried to dissuade him, but Uncle Gao had already walked away with his phone.
In fact, Sha Jiayu's thoughts were simple; he had just claimed it was his car and driver, suggesting he had some dignity.
Moreover, since it was his father's important guest, the guest should be about the same age as his father, so Zhou Peiwei should be some relative of the "important guest."
He was planning to pursue Zhou Peiwei, it was the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with the elder.
Half a minute later, Uncle Gao returned to Sha Jiayu's side and said, "Young master, Chairman Sha said he will call you. I'm taking the two ladies now."
With that, he headed straight for the driver's seat without looking back. Sha Jiayu still waved and called out, "Hey," but his phone suddenly rang.
He looked, and it was Old Sha calling.
"Hello, Dad."
Sha Jiayu answered the call, feeling somewhat uneasy because Old Sha had always been strict since his childhood.
"I hear the person Chairman Shen has come to pick up is that girl from the class next to yours?"
Sha Yongshan asked coldly over the phone.
"Yes, Dad, I was planning to pay a visit to Uncle Shen after learning about the situation."
Sha Jiayu tried to show his sensible side.
Sha Yongshan laughed sarcastically, "You haven't even met the man, and you're already calling him uncle. Do you know how old he is?"
Sha Jiayu was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
"Alright, come back now, and don't bother that girl anymore."
Sha Yongshan said impatiently.
"Why not?"
"Why not? Because I told you not to. Otherwise, I'll cut off your allowance!"
Sha Yongshan was about to hang up, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now."
"Wait, Dad, what about the car that's supposed to pick me up?"
Sha Jiayu hurriedly asked.
"Take a taxi yourself!"
Sha Yongshan hung up directly. Ever since dealing with Shen Yuan, he found his own son increasingly unsatisfactory.
They were both 22, so why was there such a big difference?
Just as Sha Jiayu was still trying to process the situation, Sha Yongshan added, "There will be a dinner when Chairman Shen leaves Shanghai, and you will go toast him and apologize."
"Why should I apologize to him, Dad?"
Sha Xinyu didn't understand what he had done wrong to warrant an apology.
Sha Yongshan scoffed, "Why? Because you've been shamelessly chasing someone else's girlfriend. Shen Yuan isn't the type to hold grudges; apologize, and this matter will be put to rest."
"His girlfriend?"
Sha Xinyu paused for two seconds and finally understood. No wonder Zhou Peiwei wore branded clothes, yet she hadn't posted about having a boyfriend on social media; it turns out she was kept by a rich man.
He had thought Zhou Peiwei was a pure lotus flower, but he hadn't expected this... really hadn't expected this.
"Dad, do you know how much this Uncle Shen spent to keep her?"
Sha Xinyu wanted to end his misery quickly.
"What keeping? What nonsense are you talking?"
