Chapter 67: Chapter 66 Second Brother, I Will Be Honest with You
Chapter 67 -66 Second Brother, I Will Be Honest with You
“All right, I’m coming now!”
Yanyan immediately cleared the browsing history on her laptop before following Zhang Sao downstairs.
“Yanyan, come here quick.” As soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Yang waved to Yanyan.
Upon hearing her, Yanyan looked in the direction of Su Yang and then noticed that Shen Jingxiu was also present.
“Did Big Brother return?”
Shen Jingxiu nodded at Yanyan as a way of responding.
Su Yang felt that her eldest son spoke far too little, so she offered an explanation,
“Your big brother had a schedule canceled today, and he just happened to be outside and on the way, so he simply came back. These are C Family’s new winter collection. Have a look and see if you like anything.”
While speaking, Su Yang casually handed Yanyan a catalogue from a luxury fashion brand.
Yanyan took the catalogue and sat down beside Su Yang.
She couldn’t help but reflect on how winter collections were already being launched, and autumn had just begun.
Meanwhile, Shen Jingxiu sat opposite her, flipping through a catalogue as well.
Under normal circumstances, Yanyan would have been bursting with excitement.
But today, with something on her mind, everything seemed to lack appeal.
While absently browsing through the sumptuous catalogue, she pondered.
[Shen Jingxiu must have many connections. If I ask him for help, could I achieve better results with half the effort?]
Shen Jingxiu stopped flipping through the catalogue.
Although he didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry, he had still caught wind of the storm surrounding Yanyan on the internet over the past couple of months.
To some extent, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a public backlash. But as far as he knew, she hadn’t sought help from the family because of it.
So now, what difficulty had she encountered that prompted her to consider turning to him for assistance?
Shen Jingxiu suddenly grew curious and quietly began to look forward to it.
But then, Yanyan’s inner thoughts took a strange turn.
[No, no, I can’t ask Shen Jingxiu for help. Shen Jinghe once said that Shen Zhirou and he have a good relationship, so it definitely wouldn’t be appropriate for me to ask him.]
Shen Jingxiu: …… Actually, they were close when they were young, but things have changed. He’s not good at expressing himself, and Zhirou isn’t as clingy as she used to be.
But whether or not to ask for his help, what does it have to do with his relationship with Zhirou?
[Last time Shen Jingxiu compensated me with lipstick, he also gave Shen Zhirou a whole box. It’s clear he treats his sister Shen Zhirou well. I can’t shoot myself in the foot.]
Shen Jingxiu: …… Are they competing against each other again? I heard that today she even went with Zhirou to see her foster mother.
[Sigh, if Big Brother isn’t an option, maybe I’ll turn to Second Brother. His relationship with Shen Zhirou seems to be just so-so.]

Shen Jingxiu slightly frowned. The matter she needed to resolve might not be something Shen Jinghe could handle. Just what was she planning to do?
After that, Yanyan didn’t let any more thoughts slip.
Because she had already taken out her phone to contact Shen Jinghe.
‘Second Brother, Second Brother, have you booked the flight? What time will you arrive in A City tomorrow?’
Shen Jinghe: ‘Terminal photo JPG, have landed already.’
Yanyan: ‘You came back early? That’s great. Can we meet tonight? Either you come back, or I can come to you, either is fine.’
Shen Jinghe: ‘???What’s up?’
Yanyan: ‘A very important matter, it’s not convenient to talk over WeChat.’
Shen Jinghe: ‘Then let’s meet at home, the cleaner aunt said there’s a leak somewhere in my house’s water pipes, property management is investigating and repairing.’
Yanyan: …Is this still the sparing Shen family’s second young master?
Just come home, no one would laugh at him, yet he offered so many explanations.
Yanyan sifted through her emoticons, finally sending a haughty one back to him.
Shen Jinghe casually flipped her an eye-rolling gesture in response.
The expression was so vivid that Wenyan almost saw Shen Jinghe roll his eyes and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.
Her laughter instantly drew the attention of the other two people in the house.
“What’s so funny?” Seeing her child happy, Su Yang’s lips also broke into a smile.
Wenyan giggled, “Mom, Second Brother will be back in a bit, he’s coming back early, and he’s already landed.”
“Is that so?” Su Yang smiled even more joyfully. “Then I’ll have Auntie Zhang add some dishes.”
“Mhm! I’ll go back to reading then.”
Feeling that she would soon have another ally, Wenyan felt a lot more relaxed, and she began to go through the booklets with more focus.
Indeed, there were two sets that she particularly liked.
Once Su Yang returned, the mother and daughter started discussing this year’s new arrivals.
About an hour later, Shen Yuan and Shen Jinghe, father and son, surprisingly entered the front door at the same time.
Su Yang was surprised, “How come you two are back together?”
“Ran into each other at the door.” Although Shen Yuan was a man whose emotions hardly showed on his face, his tone of voice was visibly more gentle than usual at this moment.
For once, Shen Jinghe didn’t retort with any quips.
The whole family waited for him to freshen up a bit, and then they had a pleasant dinner together.
After the meal, Su Yang chatted with Shen Jinghe for a while.
Wenyan, perched on the third-floor stair railing, saw them split up before she sent Shen Jinghe a message.
‘Second Brother, when are you free?’
‘Now’
‘Okie dokie, I’ll come to you right away’
Wenyan took the stairs, Shen Jinghe rode the elevator.
So, by the time Wenyan reached Shen Jinghe’s door, he was already inside, and the door was left half-open.
Wenyan knew he had left the door open for her, and after knocking twice symbolically, she entered.
As she walked in, Shen Jingxiu happened to come out of his study on the same floor.
Seeing this scene, he unconsciously furrowed his brows.
She really did go to see Shen Jinghe, he wondered what they were plotting.
–
“Sit.” Seeing Wenyan come in, Shen Jinghe casually pointed to a single sofa in the room.
“You said you had something very important to tell me, what is it?”
Wenyan blinked her eyes, “Then, can you promise me first that you won’t get angry after I tell you?”
Shen Jinghe slightly turned his head away, “Just talk, no need to act cute.”
Wenyan smiled, “I’m just trying not to offend you with my request.”
“Get to the point.”
“So, have you promised? If you don’t deny it, I’ll take it as you’ve agreed.”
“……”
“Okay, I’ll speak then. First, I should tell you that I haven’t told anyone about this, not even mom. Remember when you said that no matter how Shen Zhirou and I fight, the important thing is not to make mom angry, so I didn’t tell her.”
Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow, “So, what you’re going to talk about concerns Shen Zhirou?”
Wenyan nodded, “Correct. Here’s what happened…”
Wenyan recounted in detail the incidents from the original body’s diary, as well as Shen Zhirou’s two-faced behavior, including her suspicions about Shen Zhirou’s adoptive parents, leaving nothing out as she explained to Shen Jinghe.
