Chapter 43 Deception

Chen's mother knows Chen Jia too well; she's sure this matter won't just end like this.

Looking at Zheng Jiayu, who didn't seem to care about the matter, he said with concern, "Jiayu, you should still be careful. I have a feeling that Chen Jia won't just let this go."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will protect myself and won't get hurt. You can rest assured."

Zheng Jiayu knew that Chen's mother was worried about her, so she agreed in accordance with what Chen's mother said.

However, Chen Jia is not the most troublesome one; the most troublesome one is Shen Xizhen.

This person is malicious, but adept at getting others to do things for them.

Chen Jia is just one of them.

No one knows how many people like Shen Xizhen there are besides Chen Jia.

Chen's mother sighed softly, thinking of Chen Jia's appearance, and said with disappointment, "I don't know what Chen Jia and the others like about Shen Xizhen."

Is Shen Xi really that good?

“Shen Xi is really good at deceiving them, as for Chen Jia…” Zheng Jiayu didn’t know how to comfort Chen’s mother for a moment.

"As for her, let fate decide."

This time, Chen's mother has truly given up on Chen Jia.

Chen's mother didn't want to continue talking about Chen Jia.

She has embarked on a path of no return, and has no intention of turning back; in fact, she intends to continue down this path to the very end.

Since things have come to this, she's not going to care anymore.

Chen Jia stumbled back to her place. Shen Xizhen looked at Chen Jia's distraught appearance and asked gently, "Jiajia, what happened?"

Chen Jia clenched her fists and said with a face full of accusation, "My mom knows I don't like Zheng Jiayu, but she still goes to see Zheng Jiayu every day recently. She's doing it on purpose."

"Why?"

“My mom and the others found out about what happened before, and she cut off all ties with me. You know about this, and that’s probably why she went to Zheng Jiayu, just to make me jealous and then go back to beg them. I won’t fall for that,” Chen Jia said viciously.

Chen Jia's words made Shen Xizhen's lips curl slightly, but the smile quickly disappeared.

Looking at Chen Jia with concern, he said, "Jiajia, why don't you go back and apologize to your mother and the others? You are mother and daughter. As long as you talk to them properly, this matter will be over."

Chen Jia knew that Shen Xizhen was saying this for her own good, but now she didn't want to say another word to the Chen family.

"I won't go back. Besides, she knows everything now and thinks I'm an unfilial daughter. She won't forgive me." Even though Chen Jia was angry that her mother went to see Zheng Jiayu, she knew that her mother was serious this time.

You must sever all ties with yourself.

So even if she really went back, she wouldn't receive comfort from Chen's mother, but rather her disgust.

She has been ignored in this family for so many years, why should she go back to see their faces now?

Seeing Chen Jia like this, Shen Xizhen continued to persuade her for a few more minutes, but seeing that Chen Jia was stubborn, she stopped talking.

"In that case, you can stay here without worrying about having nowhere to go."

Chen Jia looked at Shen Xizhen gratefully: "Dr. Shen, thank you."

If it weren't for Shen Xizhen, she wouldn't know what to do now.

Dr. Shen is clearly a very good person, so why don't they like him?

"You don't seem to be in a good mood. Why don't you go and rest for a while?" Shen Xizhen said gently to Chen Jia.

With Shen Xizhen's reassurance, Chen Jia's emotions gradually stabilized.

Then I went to my room to rest.

After Chen Jia left, Shen Lin emerged from the shadows, frowning as she looked at Shen Xizhen: "You're really something, selling someone out and then making them count the money for you."

"It was just a test, but I didn't expect Zheng Jiayu to be so skilled," Shen Xizhen said casually.

He didn't need to do anything personally to test her; he just needed to say a few words and Chen Jia would believe him.

It's still naive to the point of being laughable.

She doesn't listen to her own mother and insists on listening to an outsider like herself. If something happens to her in the future, it will be Chen Jia's own fault.

Shen Lin looked at Shen Xizhen noncommittally: "What do you plan to do next? Without Chen Ji and the others' support, Chen Jia is no longer of any use. Are you still going to let her stay here?"

“As long as a chess piece hasn’t been used up, it still has value. Chen Jia will still be useful in the future, so we can just keep her around,” Shen Xizhen said casually.

He didn't care about Chen Jia at all, and even the gentleness he had shown when speaking to her earlier was gone.

Shen Lin just stared at Shen Xizhen, not knowing what Chen Jia liked about her.

Her brother was cunning and amorous.

He won't fall in love with just one person.

Even if you like someone, it's someone who brings you benefits.

Shen Xizhen's marriage can only be a political alliance. Hopefully, Chen Jia won't get caught up in it, otherwise no one can save her.

Seeing Shen Lin's hesitant expression, Shen Xizhen fiddled with the watch on her wrist: "What, are you feeling sorry for her?"

Shen Lin said indifferently, "Why should I sympathize with this person? What does she have to do with me?"

"Chen Jia's mother has already told her many things, even saying that you are not a good person. But Chen Jia still wants to get close to you, and even likes you. Since that's the case, then Chen Jia has to bear the consequences herself." Just now, she did feel a moment of sympathy for Chen Jia, but it was only for a moment.

Chen Jia will suffer if she doesn't listen.

There will be a price to pay.

Only when you truly experience pain do you realize what kind of person Shen Xi really is.

Seeing Shen Lin like this, Shen Xi clicked her tongue.

"You really are my good sister."

"You flatter me."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lin said to Shen Xizhen, "Whatever you're going to do, I still want to remind you not to go too far."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Chen Jia for now." As for what happens later, if Chen Jia gets involved, that's none of my business.

Shen Lin was speechless; she knew what Shen Xizhen meant.

If Shen Lin herself chose to throw herself into the fire like a moth, then it's not his fault.

"Brother, please leave that young girl alone. You've ruined enough people." If those who like Shen Xizhen knew about Chen Jia's existence, Chen Jia would have a very hard time.

There aren't many people here, so you don't need to worry.

Shen Lin was so angry she laughed. Was that what she was trying to say?

After staring at Shen Xizhen for a long time, she finally said irritably while running her fingers through her hair, "Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. What you do is your own business, and Chen Jia will have to bear the consequences herself."

After saying that, he ignored Shen Xizhen's interested gaze and left.

Watching Shen Lin leave, Shen Xizhen sat in her chair and gently tapped her fingers on her phone.

Chen Jia is stupid, but he's obedient, much more so than his previous people.

That would allow them to stay with me for a longer period of time.
