Chapter 87 Xie Li, how dare you deceive me?!

Yan Yu, who was thousands of miles away, was completely unaware of what was happening in the capital city. He couldn't even imagine that the person could travel to such a far place.

After all, his mental capacity hasn't fully recovered yet, and he's struggling to make ends meet. How could he possibly travel to such a far place? Besides, he doesn't have much money, so it's not an easy task.

He heard from Bai Yujin about news about Shen Jin, so he rushed over to find him without hesitation, but he didn't expect the latter to deliberately antagonize him and refuse to meet him at this moment.

"Damn Bai Yujin!" Yan Yu cursed angrily, his hands clenched into fists. He suspected that Bai Yujin didn't actually know either, but just wanted to interfere and cause trouble while he was exhausted lately. After all, the two of them had never gotten along, so why would Bai Yujin be so kind?

Even if Bai Yujin did obtain information about Shen Jin through some means, he would most likely keep it hidden. Why would he kindly tell him? He was too anxious and foolish to believe that Bai Yujin really knew something.

After cursing Bai Yujin in his mind to vent his anger, Yan Yu dialed Bai Yujin's number directly. At first, the other party was unwilling to answer, but after several attempts, he slowly picked up.

As a member of the Yan family and the high-ranking CEO Yan, how could he have ever been treated like this? His pride made him feel that even if Bai Yujin really had some information about Shen Jin, he would not stoop to associate with such a person!

"Bai Yujin, are you just messing around for fun? You pretended to know about Shen Jin, then disappeared. What are you trying to do?" Yan Yu sneered, his eyes filled with anger, and asked him clearly, "Do you want me to beg you? Beg you to tell me?"

Bai Yujin didn't really think that way. He was just angry and didn't want to let this idiot get away with it so easily. After all, Shen Jin was now far away from the city and seemed to be doing quite well.

As for Yan Yu, Bai Yujin could never figure out what he was thinking, whether he was on the side of Shen Jin or Xie Li. He could never make a choice between the two of them and was always hesitant, which Bai Yujin found extremely annoying and even looked down on.

"Who the hell wants to talk to you about that crap? Don't impose your ideas on others," Bai Yujin scoffed. "But if you're willing, then you can beg me. Anyway, I don't mind being begged by you once."

Yan Yu already felt he'd been tricked from the start, and hearing this only fueled his anger. Especially since he was a proud man, he immediately sneered, "Keep dreaming! I must be stupid to believe someone like you has any good intentions! If you really have any clues, keep them to yourself! I don't want them!"

After uttering those words, Yan Yu hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Yujin to say anything. Putting aside whether Bai Yujin actually had any information, even if he did, making him bow down and get clues from Bai Yujin would make him feel extremely embarrassed.

This is a matter of dignity, and Bai Yujin is someone Yan Yu is unwilling to bow down to. Just like when he was jealous of Bai Yujin, jealous of how close Shen Jin was to Bai Yujin, and jealous of how Shen Jin always wanted to escape from him, that jealous, unwilling, and resentful feeling...

"Is that all you've got?" Bai Yujin stared at the phone that had already been hung up, somewhat incredulous. After a long moment of stunned silence, he couldn't help but laugh. "You don't even have a little patience?"

If caring about another person is like this, then it can only mean that in the other person's heart, that person is not that important, not important enough for them to spare some patience or even put down their dignity.

Bai Yujin thought that Yan Yu might care about Shen Jin, but that care was limited. He didn't need Shen Jin. In comparison, Yan Yu cared more about himself...

In the capital city, the weather gets much colder in the evening.

When Rong Lan hailed a taxi to visit his mother, Luo Zheng tried to drag Shen Jin along, but Rong Lan thought it was too impulsive and told them not to go for the time being.

Luo Zheng was puzzled and asked directly, "Do you feel it's unsafe to bring him there? Or do you think he might do something to harm your mother?"

It's not impossible that they would be so wary. After all, people who aren't born extraordinary are often prone to offending others or becoming targets of attention. It's inevitable that malicious people will approach them. After all, that's how Rong Lan's brother died...

“That’s not what I meant,” Rong Lan sighed softly. The situation was urgent, and she couldn’t explain much more to him. “Let me check on my mother’s condition first before I tell you. I’m afraid that bringing him along might upset her…”

Luo Zheng didn't quite understand the meaning of those words at first, but Rong Lan didn't explain anything further. He just glanced at Chen Jin and then got into the car and left.

After he left, Luo Zheng received a call from home. Upon learning that he had returned, they couldn't wait to tell him to go home and visit, insisting that he return immediately.

Luo Zheng sighed helplessly. Unable to argue with his mother, he could only glance at Chen Jin beside him and say, "This is not very convenient. I have someone with me right now, someone I brought back from City A. You can't just rush home as soon as I get off the plane, can you?"

Upon hearing his words, Luo's mother was taken aback: "You brought someone back from City A?!"

"Yes, that's right." Luo Zheng didn't know how to explain it to her, since it was a long story, so she decided to skip it. "So I have to settle him in first. He's unfamiliar with the area, and I can't just leave him there, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, his mother cut him off decisively: "Foolish child! What are you talking about settling her in! Hurry up, bring her back! Our house is so big, surely there's room for her? Bring her back so we can see!"

Luo Zheng: "..."

What's going on here? What's the reaction? How is this being handled?

Shouldn't she be surprised first and then angry?

Luo Zheng was unsure what she was thinking and could only sigh silently, "Perhaps it's what they mean by 'a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.'"

Little did he know how worried his mother, who was known for her unfathomable nature, was about him. He was usually a loner, rarely interacting with wealthy socialites or having a girlfriend. This had been a source of great concern for her for many years.

Is this normal, after all?

It made her wonder if he was impotent...

Of course, Luo's mother would never say such a thing that would hurt a man's dignity in front of her precious son. She could only silently grieve and feel heartache in her heart, and she wanted to ask a doctor for him many times but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Now that she sees that he actually went to City A, made friends with someone, and even brought that girl back to this city, how could she not be happy?

Luo's mother said, "Stop talking so much nonsense, just bring her back quickly! Honestly, she came all this way from so far away, and you don't even know how to bring her home and treat her properly!"

"...Alright, I'll ask his opinion." Luo Zheng pursed her lips and looked at the girl beside her. "Are you coming home with me?"

Before Shen Jin could answer, Luo's mother on the phone said with exasperation, "You stupid child! You're really going to drive me crazy! How could you be so direct? Can't you be a little more tactful? What if an introverted person was scared away by you?!"

Luo Zheng frowned, wondering why she had to be so tactful about bringing someone home. What else could she do but ask directly?

"Alright, then I'll ask him in a more tactful way." Luo Zheng sighed softly, then glanced at Shen Jin and saw him smiling, which made her feel inexplicably at ease. "He should be willing."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zheng asked Shen Jin if he would like to come to her house, saying that her mother wanted to see him. Shen Jin didn't really understand these things. He had come to this city to see the person he had spoken to on the phone, and he instinctively felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to his "mother".

As night fell, Yan Yu's computer suddenly received a file sent by Bai Yujin.

"Tsk, what is this guy up to now?" Yan Yu frowned impatiently. He was currently troubled by work matters, and the mere sight of Bai Yujin's name annoyed him.

But he still clicked on some of the files, and then he froze.

"Shen Jin?" Yan Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, his voice slightly hoarse. He didn't react for a long time, and then he quickly moved closer to the computer, as if to confirm whether the person on the screen was photoshopped.

He couldn't confirm it easily in a short time, so he opened the document. Shen Jin's face appeared instantly inside. It was exactly the same. He looked a little thinner than usual, but his complexion was very good, and he had a smile on his face.

However, this video wasn't for Yan Yu, but for Bai Yujin, sent by Shen Jin, which ignited a fierce rage in Yan Yu! He had been searching painstakingly for Shen Jin, only to find that Shen Jin was secretly sending messages to Bai Yujin while deliberately avoiding him!

Yan Yu's eyes turned bloodshot with jealousy, and he gritted his teeth as he forced out the words: "Why?!"

Why does it always have to be Bai Yujin?! What is it about Bai Yujin that he's better than?! Why does Shen Jin have to remember him so vividly?!

After venting his anger and dissatisfaction, Yan Yu watched the video and sat motionless in front of the computer like a stone statue.

All that could be heard in Yan Yu's mind were Shen Jin's words. Gradually, Yan Yu's eyes turned bloodshot, becoming terrifying. He clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, and roared through gritted teeth, "Xie Li, you actually... you actually dared to deceive me?!"
