Chapter 92 The Daughter-in-Law is a Man

Both Xie Li and Yan Yu have extremely high self-esteem. After all, they have lived in a large family since childhood, and are loved and respected by everyone. They are used to seeing other people's good faces and being admired by others, and they put themselves in the highest position.

Xie Li's deception of Yan Yu was an unbearable blow to Yan Yu, so he vented all his anger on Xie Li.

Yan Yu's merciless treatment of Xie Li, including punches and kicks, deeply wounded Xie Li's so-called self-esteem, making it unbearable for him. His heart felt as if it had fallen from a high place to the bottom of a valley, a bottomless abyss.

This forced Xie Li's feelings for Yan Yu to gradually turn into hatred, including his growing attachment to Shen Jin...

Of course, Shen Jin was completely unaware of these dramatic events in City A and continued to live his life happily every day.

A few days ago, Shen Jin agreed to go back to the Luo family with Luo Zheng.

Although Shen Jin didn't know the reason behind it, he didn't think much of it. He simply felt that he and Luo Zheng were friends, and since Luo Zheng was such a nice person, his family must be very good. It wouldn't hurt to visit once.

They didn't return to the Luo family until the next morning. On the way back, Shen Jin looked around with a smile, and asked Luo Zheng with some curiosity, "Your mother must be a very gentle person, right?"

Luo Zheng was sitting in the car, staring out the window in a daze, wondering what his mother meant, when he heard what Shen Jin said. He turned around, coughed a few times, and said, "...I'm alright."

His mother was naturally gentle with him, but it was unclear how she treated others, since he had never brought anyone home before.

This was the first person he had brought home, so Luo Zheng was a little uneasy.

"Are you scared?" Luo Zheng asked him.

"Are you scared?" Shen Jin smiled, then shook his head, his eyes crinkling as he said, "I'm not scared. I'm not afraid of you, so I'm not afraid of your family either."

Luo Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Shen Jin chuckled innocently and said, "Because you're so nice, it must be related to your family!"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Luo Zheng was slightly taken aback at first, then her ears turned slightly red. She was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so she could only smile.

He felt very happy. He was happy to be with Shen Jin, and he was happy to look at him... It felt like he wanted to stay with him like this forever.

The moment this thought crossed Luo Zheng's mind, he was stunned again. He had never been in a relationship and knew very little about love and romance. Therefore, when such a thing happened to him, he did not know how to deal with it and was even a little flustered.

When Luo's mother learned that her son was bringing people home today, she was overjoyed. She had the house tidied up and prepared well in advance, just waiting for their return.

When the busy servants passed by and saw Madam Luo smiling broadly, they couldn't help but say with a smile, "Young Master is going home. Madam is smiling so happily. It's been a long time since I've seen Madam smile so happily."

"That's right, it's been so many years, and this brat finally brought someone back for me. Honestly, he was driving me crazy with worry," Mother Luo breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "We've finally waited for this moment."

The servants all sensed the hidden meaning in her words, but they didn't react immediately. It wasn't until the car that was there to pick up Luo Zheng arrived at the door and the horn sounded that Luo's mother immediately stood up: "You're back!"

Before anyone could react, Luo's mother lifted her legs and quickly walked to the front door. She didn't forget to tidy her appearance and try to smile gently, afraid of startling her future daughter-in-law.

However, when Luo Zheng saw her mother standing in front of the gate with a radiant smile waiting for them, she was stunned. She frowned and couldn't help but mutter, "Has she not taken her medicine today? Why is she smiling so eerily?"

"Hmm? Really?" Shen Jin saw Luo's mother from inside the car, blinked a few times, and seeing how happy she was, he seemed much more approachable. "Your mother is so beautiful!"

Luo Zheng had heard this phrase many times and was used to it, but for some reason, he was very happy to hear Shen Jin say it now.

"Let's go, get off the bus." Luo Zheng patted his shoulder and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, relax."

Shen Jin nodded: "Okay, don't worry."

As they pushed open the car door and stepped out with their long, straight legs, Luo's mother immediately walked up to them with a gentle smile: "Ah Zheng, you're back."

"Hmm, you're back. Why are you smiling so much..." Luo Zheng wanted to say something, but she was met with a sharp glare from her, so she could only shut up and get out of the car with Shen Jin. "Alright, get out."

Luo's mother was eager to stick her head into the car, very impatient to see what kind of person her son had brought back.

Until she saw a young, handsome man get out of the car and stare at her with wide eyes.

Luo's mother froze on the spot, somewhat unable to react. She leaned her head into the car again and asked Luo Zheng uncertainly, "Where... is he?"

This daughter-in-law... surely she's not a man?

Her reaction left Luo Zheng speechless. She glanced at Shen Jin's expression and, thankfully, he didn't take it seriously. She then breathed a sigh of relief and said to her mother, "Isn't this a living, breathing person right in front of you?"

Luo's mother had initially thought he was bringing a daughter-in-law home, but it wasn't until this moment that she realized it wasn't a daughter-in-law, but just a friend... This left her somewhat disappointed.

"Oh, I see... Hello." Luo's mother forced a smile. It wasn't that her daughter-in-law disappointed her, but after all, she was a same-sex friend brought home by her son, so naturally she needed to treat her well.

Shen Jin thought the woman in front of him was very beautiful. He felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing her, but also nervousness. After pursing his lips, he said with a smile, "Hello, I am Shen Jin..."

When he came down, Luo's mother didn't look at him closely after discovering he was a man. But when she focused her attention on Shen Jin, she was slightly taken aback. Her smiling eyes seemed to freeze for a moment as she stared intently at him.

Suddenly, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became eerily quiet. Everyone present was stunned, unsure of what was happening, and too embarrassed to disturb them, so they could only remain silent.

Luo Zheng quickly coughed a few times, not knowing why his mother was staring so intently at Chen Jin. He quickly pulled her behind him and smiled, "Mom, what's wrong? Staring at him like that is going to scare him."

Shen Jin, who had been pulled behind Luo Zheng, blinked, peeked out, glanced at Luo's mother who had been staring intently at him, and whispered, "Hello."

Luo's mother barely managed to regain her composure, realizing she had just lost her composure. She smiled awkwardly, looked at him again, and tried to appear gentle: "Hello, you're A-Zheng's friend, right?"

“Yes! I’m his friend!” Shen Jin nodded, his gaze fixed on Luo’s mother. He felt she was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her before, but he couldn’t quite place her.

"Let's go inside quickly." Mother Luo smiled and led them inside, but her mood was still not calm. Her eyes kept glancing at Chen Jin, making her feel even heavier.

Could there really be two people who look so alike...? Is it just a coincidence? Or am I just getting old and my eyesight is failing me?

Luo's mother seemed dazed and hesitant. Luo Zheng noticed that something was wrong and quickly touched her, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Or did something happen?"

"No, it's just that..." Luo's mother shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She glanced at Luo Zheng a few more times and whispered, "Don't you think your friend Chen Jin... looks a bit like someone?"

Luo Zheng wasn't particularly sensitive to people's facial features, so she didn't realize who she was talking about. Seeing this reaction, she seemed to recognize her, and was completely bewildered. She asked softly, "Who does she look like?"

"Tsk, you idiot, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Why don't you use your brain more! Sigh!" Luo's mother poked his head with her hand in exasperation, then looked at Chen Jin and asked in a low voice, "But this friend of yours, you said he's from City A? What do his parents do?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to find out about his family background?" Luo Zheng couldn't help but smile, but didn't mind telling her, "He grew up in an orphanage, he has no parents, and only a younger sister. Due to some circumstances, he was injured and hasn't recovered yet, so he came here with me."

Upon hearing this, Luo's mother was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, she seemed to understand something. She slapped him on the back and scolded, "So you tricked this person into coming here while they were injured, didn't you!"

"..." Luo Zheng was speechless for a moment, then clicked her tongue, "Don't talk nonsense, and don't think about things that don't want to scare people. He is a very pure person. If you spend more time with him, you will most likely like him."

Upon hearing this, Luo's mother sensed something was amiss. She pondered it carefully, her gaze intense as she asked uncertainly, "What do you mean... that spending too much time with him will make you like him?"

Luo Zheng: "..."

Luo Zheng took a slight breath and inexplicably began to feel nervous, especially under his mother's scrutinizing gaze, his body involuntarily tensing up.

Just as he was being stared at by his mother with nowhere to escape, the sound of high heels echoed from outside the hall, accompanied by a woman's cheerful voice: "Ah Zheng, I heard you're back. It's been a while. Did you miss me?"

Upon hearing the voice, Luo Zheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked at the elegant and aloof woman walking over in high heels. However, the woman's gaze bypassed him and landed on Shen Jin beside him.

The woman, who had been smiling, suddenly widened her eyes and her smile froze the moment her gaze fell on Chen Jin. She looked at him with disbelief, and her voice trembled slightly: "...Little...Jin?"
