Since Shen Xingmian said that, Bai Yarou couldn't send him away, so she stepped aside and said, "Then come in."

Walking inside, Nan Zhi wasn't there, but Nan Li was. He had just come downstairs and saw Shen Xingmian with a forced smile on his face.

"Brother-in-law, what brings you here? My sister isn't here."

Shen Xingmian glanced at him and said calmly:

"I'll wait for her to come back."

At first, Shen Xingmian planned to give Nan Zhi a little surprise and punish her at the same time, but now, looking at Bai Yarou and Nan Li's situation, and the circle of people outside the gate when entering the community, she realized that she was not sure how to deal with them.

He felt that something was happening, but he was completely unaware of it.

"Nanli, take me to your room."

Nan Li paused for a moment, then nodded and led Shen Xingmian back to the bedroom.

Upon entering, Shen Xingmian's expression turned cold:

What happened in your family?

Nan Li was slightly surprised. Shen Xingmian didn't know? Didn't Nan Zhi tell him?

After thinking it over, Nan Li felt it was better to keep it a secret. After all, Shen Xingmian was just his sister's fiancé, and he shouldn't bother him with everything, or it would annoy him.

Nan Li smiled and said, "Nothing? What are you talking about, brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmian stared sharply at Nan Li. Nan Li felt intimidated, but he still withstood the pressure.

"You think I can't find out?"

Shen Xingmian had just taken out her phone when Nan Li quickly stopped her. His matter had caused quite a stir, and Shen Xingmian was unaware of it because she didn't usually follow gossip. Anyone who went online could see it.

So Nan Li reluctantly told Shen Xingmian about his situation.

After saying that, looking at Shen Xingmian's face, which was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, Nan Li sat up straight, afraid that his brother-in-law would kill him.

The room was silent for a minute before Shen Xingmian finally spoke, asking:

Why didn't you tell me?

The voice was deep and pleasant, but to Nan Li, it sounded like a death knell, because Shen Xingmian's eyes were like a deep pool, staring at him as if she wanted to drag him into the center of a whirlpool.

Nan Li could clearly feel a chill on his back; he was sweating.

Fortunately, Shen Xingmian didn't target him for long before Nanzhi returned.

"Brother-in-law, my sister... she's back."

Despite the pressure, Nan Li gave a reminder, and seeing Shen Xingmian turn and leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Why is my brother-in-law so scary?

Nanzhi was a little tired, so she lay down on the sofa as soon as she came in and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Fortunately, everything was arranged properly, and Zhao Yan cooperated very well. We obtained strong evidence, and all we needed to do was issue a statement and release the evidence.

Overall, the clarification of this matter will not have a significant impact on Zhao Yan, but it will still affect her to some extent.

"You're back?"

A familiar voice sounded behind her, but the tone was unusual. Surprised, Nan Zhi looked up and saw a man looking down at her.

Black pupils were staring at him, thin lips were slightly pursed, and his face lacked its usual warmth, carrying a hint of coldness.

Nan Zhi subconsciously sat up, turned around, looked at Shen Xingmian, and said with a grin:

Why are you here?

Shen Xingmian's tone was indifferent:

"Not welcome?"

Nanzhi: "..."

She quickly shook her head, beaming with joy, and reached out to hug Shen Xingmian, but he dodged her. Nan Zhi awkwardly said:

"Of course you're welcome! I'm happy you're here."

Shen Xingmian turned around and walked towards the stairwell, saying, "Let's talk in your bedroom."

Nanzhi: "..."

Helplessly, he stood up and resignedly followed Shen Xingmian upstairs, passing by Nan Li's bedroom.

Seeing him acting suspiciously, Nanzhi quickly grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nan Li forced a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"I don't know either, but my brother-in-law just asked me what happened at home. I couldn't help but tell him, and then she got angry."

Nanzhi: "..."

Why? Why get angry?

"Miss, have you forgotten who you are? You're his fiancée. Such a big thing happened in your family, and you didn't even mention it to him. Anyone would be angry in that situation?"

Nanzhi: "..."

Is that so? But she really was only focused on helping Nan Li with his affairs and didn't have time to talk to him. Besides, she couldn't keep bothering him with the Nan family's affairs.

MeowMeowMachine said helplessly:

"Please face yourself honestly. Shen Xingmian treats you like family. He doesn't want you to hide anything from him, because that would make him feel like he doesn't value you."

Nanzhi retorted, "I really care about him. Is there some misunderstanding on his part?"

Meow Meow Machine rolled its eyes: "I didn't realize that even if you wanted to handle it yourself, you should have informed him beforehand. That would have been better."

Nanzhi pondered for a few seconds and realized that Miaomiaoji made a good point; she had been wrong about this.

Even if you were to handle it yourself, you should have told him beforehand.

As soon as Nanzhi entered her bedroom and closed the door, she turned around and was trapped between herself and the door by the man.

Nan Zhi blinked, then blinked again, and then, with a strong survival instinct, she spoke:

"Shen Xingmian, I was wrong. I should have told you about this beforehand. I shouldn't have kept it from you."

Shen Xingmian's expression did not soften because of her words; her eyes remained deep and unfathomable. Nan Zhi continued her urgent explanation:
