Chapter 469 What if it's true...

"That damn guy in room 1503, that talk about getting infected while entertaining clients, that's utter bullshit, he was clearly..."

Realizing that her voice was too loud and she was afraid of waking her sleeping child, she subconsciously glanced into the room.

He rushed over and closed the door before sitting back down on the sofa to continue playing crickets with Shen Xuewei and the others.

"I heard them arguing earlier. The man was out having an affair and took her to Jiangcheng for a trip..."

Gan Shengnan commented, "This man is so dishonest!"

Nie Shuqin slapped her thigh, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

"Absolutely. If it were me, I would have divorced that kind of man!"

The people sitting there all looked at Shen Xuewen on the other side at the same time.

Shen Xuewen glanced at them, then looked at Nie Shuqin, who was filled with righteous indignation and whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and shrank back.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? I didn't do anything..."

Nie Shuqin rolled her eyes at him. "I bet you wouldn't dare do anything. If you dare to have any ulterior motives, I'll fight you to the death!"

She is a strong-willed person, and most of the time, she does what she says.

Shen Xuewei felt very uncomfortable staying at Shen Xuewen's house, as the place was too small for her and inconvenient for everything.

When the day finally came for them to leave, the police tape downstairs was removed, and the group went downstairs and walked out.

Passing through an old town area, not far from Shen Xuewen's neighborhood, Shen Xuewei recognized the place.

When she was a child, the Shen family lived nearby. Chen Fangli's most relaxing moment each day was to take Shen Xuewei for a stroll along the nearby food street and pick up Shen Xuewen from school.

Shen Xuewei was just a little girl at the time and didn't actually remember any of this.

The reason I learned this later in life was because Chen Fangmin said it to strengthen the bond between mother and daughter.

However, the main character has changed from the second aunt to her.

Her assistant and bodyguards followed her at a leisurely pace, always maintaining an appropriate distance from her.

Neither disturbing nor losing track of them.

Having been trapped in Shen Xuewen's residential area for so long, Shen Xuewei felt a sense of novelty and wonder about the place where she had spent her childhood, now that she was standing there after more than twenty years.

She walked slowly along the old neighborhood and arrived at the former food street.

The once bustling food street is long gone, and its former glory is nowhere to be found.

Most of the small shops along the street were closed, with only a few open, but business was slow.

"Ah Juan, you've found the time to visit me again today? Even Ah Tao came along? You're such a busy person, how come you have so much free time?"

A car was parked on the left side of the road. As soon as the door opened, the old lady at the grocery store saw the two people inside and immediately beamed with joy.

The two people in the car got out and spoke to her affectionately.

Shen Xuewei had only glanced at it casually, and was about to look away when she suddenly felt something was amiss.

This Ah Juan actually bears a striking resemblance to Chen Fangmin.

Shen Xuewei vaguely remembered that in her past life, the Shen family, including the Ying couple, seemed to have gotten into trouble because of a woman named Juan and that man...

She had originally planned to finish shopping on this street and then hurry to the airport, but now she's not in a rush anymore.

She went to the grocery store and pretended to be a customer who wanted to buy something.

The old woman got so engrossed in chatting with the two that when a customer came in, she used her broken Mandarin to tell Shen Xuewei to come into the shop and look around, and to tell her what she was looking for.

Shen Xuewei responded with a faint smile and slowly strolled around the store.

While seemingly searching diligently for the items she wanted, she was also listening intently to the conversation of the three people outside.

The mother and son probably just happened to be passing by and stopped by to visit the old woman. They only chatted with her for a few minutes before getting into their car and leaving.

Shen Xuewei took the few items she had randomly selected and went to the old woman to pay the bill.

Seventeen dollars.

Shen Xuewei nodded, took out her phone from her bag, and scanned the WeChat QR code that was placed next to her.

She asked casually, "Grandma, the man you were talking to just now, from what I heard you saying, he said he was a lawyer, right?"

“Yes…yes,” the old woman quickly switched to broken Mandarin when she heard the person in front of her speaking Mandarin.

"Let me tell you about that boy. He's a great lawyer, and he's very successful."

She kept praising the man, and then she heard Shen Xuewei ask:

"Grandma, do you know which law firm he works for?"

The old woman was about to answer when she suddenly realized something and looked at Shen Xuewei warily, saying:

Why are you asking this?

Shen Xuewei sighed and said with distress:

"Oh, Grandma, it's like this, I just moved here recently, to the apartment complex behind the street. I had some disagreements with my previous company before I left, and they still owe me my bonuses and wages..."

“I want to find a lawyer to help me with my lawsuit and get my money back, but I don’t know any lawyers. Well, I just happened to hear that he is one, so I want to ask him about his qualifications and fees, so I don’t end up wandering around like a headless fly.”

Upon hearing this, the old woman lowered her guard slightly.

She pulled over a stool and warmly invited Shen Xuewei to sit down.

"I see. That's easy to explain. I know which institute he's from, but I don't remember the name."

Just as Shen Xuewei was feeling a little disappointed, she saw her take a bag out of the counter.

"But it doesn't matter, I have his business card here. His phone number is on it, you can call him later..."

Shen Xuewei looked grateful and said, "Okay, thank you, Grandma."

After searching for a long time, the old woman finally found the business card and handed it to Shen Xuewei.

"Here it is. Take a picture of it. I can't take it away from you, otherwise I won't have it anymore."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

She took a picture of the business card in front of the old woman.

As if remembering something, the old woman asked again:

"By the way, what's your name? He's very busy; he doesn't take every case. I'll talk to him for you later, and he might give you priority in the lawsuit."

Shen Xuewei replied naturally, "That's great. My name is Chu Yan. Please mention it to him for me later."

"However, I don't know if he charges a lot. If he does... then forget it."

The old woman waved her hand and said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, he charges quite a lot."

Shen Xuewei sighed, "Then forget it, it's too expensive for me. I'll look for something cheaper."

Saying goodbye to the old woman with disappointment, the look of loss on my face vanished instantly as I turned around.

After getting off the plane and returning to the villa, Shen Xuewei sat at the dining table eating the food prepared by Sister Zou. Looking at the business card photo on her phone, she gradually fell into deep thought.

Ah Juan, who bears a resemblance to her mother, and Ah Juan's son...

At first glance, Shen Xuewei thought the man was Shen Jiaying, only a younger version of Shen Jiaying.

Shen Xuewei had a guess in her mind, but this guess still needed to be verified with evidence.

If it's true...

Shen Xuewei slowly revealed a smile.
