Chapter 77 Shen Yao is unhappy

After Shen Wancheng and Ke La got to know each other, Shen Wancheng said goodbye to Gu Jinxing and took Ke La back to her residence.

While still in the car, Shen Yao couldn't help but express her dissatisfaction with Shen Wancheng's hiring of Ke La.

Shen Yao thought Shen Wancheng felt she couldn't protect her, and that Shen Wancheng didn't believe in her abilities.

The main reason was that Cora's appearance was indeed much more robust and capable than Shen Yao's, which aroused Shen Yao's competitive spirit.

Shen Yao couldn't keep things to herself, so she asked directly.

"Sister, don't you trust my abilities? With me by your side, why would you agree to Gu Jinxing hiring this person?"

Upon hearing Shen Yao's words, Shen Wancheng realized that Shen Yao was unhappy.

Shen Wancheng explained to Shen Yao.

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities. Whether it's in the mainland or Hong Kong, I've always called on you whenever we needed to take action."

Shen Yao said with a wronged expression, "Then why did you hire her?"

“There are many things on Hong Kong Island that the mainland doesn’t have. There are many places where you don’t understand or have never even seen the technological products. The hardest thing for people to guard against is the unknown traps, but Cora is an expert in this area.”

“I can learn.”

"Of course you can. You can learn from Cora if she's willing to teach you."

Shen Yao still harbored a childlike hostility towards Cora and did not express any desire to learn from Cora, only saying "Oh".

Shen Wancheng continued.

"Besides, you have your own things to do. You can't just be a bodyguard following me around every day. Yao Yao, I hope you can be yourself, not my appendage."

Shen Yao recalled the feelings she had when she looked down at the view of Victoria Harbour earlier.

She really needs to strengthen herself and do her own thing; she can't just stay by Shen Wancheng's side doing nothing.

Shen Yao nodded solemnly this time.

"I'll listen to my sister."

Shen Wancheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shen Yao had come to her senses.

Everyone has moments of stubbornness. If Shen Yao really can't understand something and is upset, Shen Wancheng will definitely have to persuade her before hiring Ke La.

However, although Shen Yao agreed to listen to Shen Wancheng, she was still unconvinced by Ke La.

Shen Yao looked up and spoke to Cora, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"How about we have a match when we get back?"

Cora turned around, stared at Shen Yao for a moment with a blank expression, and then glanced at Shen Wancheng.

Cora asked Shen Wancheng.

Does my job include playing with her?

"I meant I wanted to spar with you! Who asked you to play with me? Who do you think you are?"

Shen Yao was furious. If she weren't in the car, she would have attacked him directly.

But when Shen Yao said those words, it sounded more like a child throwing a tantrum.

Even the driver, who was focused on driving, secretly smiled.

Shen Wancheng patted Shen Yao to calm her down and tell her to stop making a fuss.

On the other hand, he was replying to Cora.

"Shen Yao isn't just messing around with you; she knows kung fu. But whether you want to spar with her or not is your business; it's not part of your job."

Cora nodded to Shen Wancheng, "Okay, I understand."

Cora looked at Shen Yao again and asked in a doubtful tone, "You know Chinese Kung Fu?"

Shen Yao raised her chin and said proudly, "Yes, I can."

Although Cora was still a little skeptical that the rather thin girl in front of her knew kung fu, Shen Wancheng's words just now made Cora feel that she should believe it, so she said, "Okay, let's try it when we get off the bus later."

In the past month or so, not only has Shen Wancheng recovered a lot and her skin improved, but Shen Yao has also changed a lot.

Perhaps it's because Shen Datian and Xu Lan have good genes, but even though Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao didn't get enough nutrition during the seven most crucial years of their physical development, Shen Wancheng still reached a height of 164 cm, and Shen Yao reached 160 cm.

In the 1980s, in a southern region like Hong Kong Island, his height was already quite good.

After all, at that time, the average height in many parts of the south was only barely 160 cm.

Shen Yao is actually under 18 years old. If she gets proper nutrition, she might grow even taller.

Some girls can still grow taller until they're 20, um... some girls even grow taller during pregnancy.

More than a month has passed, and Shen Yao's complexion has improved because she has been intentionally exercising to restore her martial arts skills.

Although she still looks thin, she is very energetic and cheerful.

Shen Yao and Shen Wancheng are sisters. Shen Wancheng is beautiful, and Shen Yao is certainly not bad either, so Xu Wentao and He Lin actually like Shen Yao very much.

But as a mercenary, Cora's perspective on people is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

She thought Shen Yao was very thin; it looked like she could lift someone up and throw them down with one hand.

But she agreed to Shen Yao's challenge purely because Shen Wancheng had given her a very reliable impression; he was a calm and trustworthy person.

Therefore, Cora chose to believe Shen Wancheng's words.

Shen Yao's mood improved when she saw that Ke La had agreed.

She then remembered that there were still some things she hadn't figured out while in the private room.

Shen Yao searched her memory but couldn't find any information about "kimono".

So Shen Yao didn't understand why Ms. Lan was so angry, but since Gu Jinxing was in the private room at the time, she couldn't ask Shen Wancheng.

Shen Yao leaned close to Shen Wancheng's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Sister, what kind of clothing is a kimono?"

Shen Wancheng paused for a moment before whispering to Shen Yao.

"It's the traditional clothing of Japan. You didn't know much about it when you were in school. Japan invaded our country nearly a hundred years ago, committing atrocities such as burning, killing, and enslaving."

Shen Yao's eyes widened, and she belatedly became angry.

Shen Wancheng thought for a moment, then continued.

"Historically, Japan and our country have been at war repeatedly, but they were called by different names at different times. I don't know which name you have heard."

"Japan, Japanese pirates, Fusang, etc."

Because there were other people in the car, Shen Wancheng phrased it very tactfully.

In fact, what Shen Wancheng meant was that she didn't know if the Cherry Blossom Kingdom existed in the parallel world Shen Yao lived in, or if the name might be different.

"Japanese pirates!"

Shen Yao understood immediately!

The dynasty she lived in before she traveled back in time also had such despicable bandits.

"That Li Gang is utterly shameless. No wonder Ms. Lan feels so guilty because of him, and even wants to sever the Lan family lineage."

"Yes, Ms. Lan's idea is understandable."

Perhaps because this topic made the atmosphere heavy again, Shen Yao didn't speak for a while.

Until the car arrived at their residence.

Shen Wancheng and Ke La got off the car one after the other.

Shen Yao was still sitting in the car, lost in thought.

Shen Wancheng called out.

"Yaoyao, we're home. Get out of the car."

Shen Yao seemed to wake from a dream, and looked at Shen Wancheng excitedly.

"Sister, I have a plan. I'm sure I can help you persuade Ms. Lan."
