Chapter 339 The scale of the operation was extraordinary.

Even Wang Jun and Tang Feng stood up.

Four men, standing in front, behind, left, and right, protected Yan Liti, Qiao Qiao, and Dou Yufeng, who were walking side by side in the middle.

That was an extraordinary spectacle.

Even though Qiao Qiao was thick-skinned, she felt a little embarrassed that there were six people keeping watch for her when she went to the toilet.

However, Qiao Qiao knew their worries and obediently let them take her.

The restaurant that Dou Yufeng brought them to wasn't the biggest in Kyoto, but it was undoubtedly the most prestigious.

Those coming and going are basically either rich or noble.

No.

As soon as the six of them brought Qiao Qiao out of the private room, someone recognized Yan Liti.

She was a wealthy woman in her fifties who had just come in from outside the restaurant. She hadn't even taken off her mink coat yet when she turned around and saw Yan Liti holding Qiao Qiao's hand. Her eyes lit up immediately.

"Madam Shen? Madam Shen!" The noblewoman practically ran up to her, not caring about her image at all.

She ran over and, upon seeing that it really was Yan Liti, excitedly waved her arms and stammered, "That's wonderful! Madam Shen, it really is you! What a coincidence!"

Compared to the noblewoman's excitement, Yan Liti's attitude seemed rather indifferent.

However, they still maintained the proper manners.

His attitude was lukewarm, and his tone was indifferent: "Who are you?"

"Oh dear, Madam Shen, you really have a bad memory. My husband is Qiu Lijun, the son of Staff Officer Qiu. Have you forgotten him? We met at the Yan family's banquet last time. I even brought my daughter Xiaoting to greet you."

Seeing that Yan Liti had forgotten about her, the noblewoman was not angry. Instead, she explained to Yan Liti with a serious expression.

At this point, she covered her mouth and smiled shyly, "You even praised my daughter back then, saying she was very beautiful. You have no idea how happy she was to receive those two compliments."

As the lady spoke, she glanced at Dou Yufeng standing beside her, and Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan standing behind her.

When the noblewoman saw Shen Qingyan, her eyes lit up; clearly, she recognized him.

She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more.

But then Yan Liti said, "Really? That's quite a coincidence. You're here to eat, right? Well then, I won't bother you any longer. Please excuse us."

Yan Liti had no idea who the noblewoman in front of her was.

She was still worried about her precious granddaughter needing to use the restroom, so she didn't bother with small talk. She just said a few polite words, then bent down and hugged Qiao Qiao, who was looking up at them as they spoke.

I turned around and followed the waiter's directions to the restroom.

The lady's attention was entirely focused on the adults.

She glanced at Shen Qingyan several times and guessed that he might be the one from the Shen family, but before she could greet him, Yan Liti took her leave.

She didn't even notice there was a smaller one underneath.

Seeing it now, she couldn't help but be startled.

Not only were they amazed by the child's exceptionally beautiful appearance, but they were also astonished: who was this child?

In the younger generation of the Yan family, there are indeed a few who have children, but without exception, all of them are boys.

Therefore, this little girl is definitely not a junior member of the Yan family.

Before the Lunar New Year, Shen Qingyan severed his father-son relationship with Old Master Shen, which was even published in the newspaper. Later, Old Master Shen was taken away, and the Shen family manor was also investigated.

It's no exaggeration to say that the entire city of Kyoto is now gossiping about the Shen family.

Everyone is speculating about why Shen Qingyan and Old Master Shen had a complete falling out, and whether Old Master Shen's being taken away was Shen Qingyan's doing.

Where did Yan Liti, the most prominent socialite in the elite circles, go?

Why haven't I been seen in Kyoto for the past two or three months? Has something happened?

Some busybodies even inquired about the news from the Yan family.

However, although Yan Liti's family did not have members who joined the army like Shen Qingyan, they appeared to be just ordinary merchants.

But everyone knows that the Yan family's most important industry is the military industry.

In the early years of war, he donated half of his family's wealth to help the country overcome its difficulties, and later he devoted most of his businesses to this cause.

In a sense, the Yan family's social status is no less than that of the Shen family, and may even be higher.

Therefore, even if everyone was very curious about Yan Liti's whereabouts, they only dared to inquire secretly, and dared not openly show any interest in watching the show.

Even though many people are genuinely waiting to see Yan Liti's downfall.

The noblewoman who had just greeted Yan Liti was one of the group waiting to see Yan Liti make a fool of herself.

As for why I wanted to watch Yan Liti's performance, it wasn't because of any deep-seated hatred, but rather because of some minor grudges.

Shen Qingyan is twenty-seven years old this year.

Not to mention their own excellent qualities.

His family background is among the best in Kyoto, perhaps even the most prestigious.

He joined the army at the age of eighteen and in just eight years he had already reached the division level, and his future prospects were limitless.

Therefore, Shen Qingyan, who has been 'unmarried' all these years, can be said to be the most popular son-in-law in the entire capital.

However, Shen Qingyan is not good at socializing and usually spends most of his time on missions. Even when he has a break, he is not someone they can get close to.

Those who had their eyes on Shen Qingyan had no choice but to turn their attention to Yan Liti and the Yan family.

Especially for Yan Liti, whenever she attended a public banquet, there would always be people who would greet her, actually trying to promote their own daughters or female relatives, and trying to get close to her.

Unfortunately, Yan Liti's personality wasn't exactly good either.

Long Yijun's identity was special and not suitable for public disclosure. After being bothered by him so much, Yan Liti's attitude gradually cooled down.

To outsiders, her indifferent attitude appeared arrogant.

However, due to her status and position, no one dared to say anything.

But behind her back, many people were unconvinced and criticized her for being pretentious, just waiting for the day she would fall from grace.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Old Master Shen was taken away, and the Shen family manor was also investigated.

Even if Shen Qingyan might have done these things, there was still a lot of schadenfreude in the Kyoto elite circles because of it. After all, father and son killing each other was truly a big joke.

The wealthy lady had just arrived, and she might have been hoping to see him make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, before she could even witness the joke, she saw Shen Qingyan following behind her, forcing her to change her strategy again and continue to flatter Yan Liti.

Now Yan Liti is treating me like this.

The lady felt uncomfortable again.

Seeing that the person had walked away and that she should no longer be able to hear the commotion, she immediately spat at Yan Liti's retreating figure.
