Chapter 22: Deceive yourself!

A famous villa area for the rich in City A.

Shen Jiazhou came out wrapped in a bathrobe, then walked to the bedside table and answered the ringing cell phone.

"Boss." Lin Yan said on the other end, "I have found out everything about Miss Wen. I sent you an email. Please check it."

Shen Jiazhou nodded, and Lin Yan then said, "Director Shen just called me and asked you to go back for dinner tonight. Will you go back?"

"No reply." Shen Jiazhou said coldly.

Lin Yan was not surprised to know this answer: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiazhou went downstairs with his phone, sat on the sofa and opened his mailbox. After opening the email sent by Lin Yan, he jumped into it and saw Wen Shuqiao's ID photo.

Shen Jiazhou was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. The email went down and it was revealed that Lin Yan was very reliable and had basically investigated everything about Wen Shuqiao from childhood to adulthood.

The more Shen Jiazhou looked, the more his brows furrowed.

By the end, Shen Jiazhou's impression of Wen Shuqiao had completely changed. He had become someone who was spoiled, brainless, and a bully.

Can such a person take good care of Cancan?

The answer is obvious.

But after reading it, Shen Jiazhou recalled the scene when he met Wen Shuqiao.

The first time in the hospital, she held Cancan in her arms, and the tiredness on her face was genuine.

The second time was probably outside the custom shop, she was still holding Cancan and had an argument with the clerk.

The third time was in the surveillance video of the banquet, when she was holding Cancan’s hand and coming out of the bathroom.

The fourth time was today at noon. Cancan was dressed like a little doll and sat beside her obediently. Wen Shuqiao was not as arrogant and rude as described in the report. He smiled at every customer.

Even Xiaomiao said that Wen Shuqiao cared a lot about Cancan.

Is the Wen Shuqiao he saw the same person as the Wen Shuqiao in the report?

Shen Jiazhou leaned back on the sofa, unable to figure out why.

"bite--"

Shen Jiazhou glanced at the phone and didn't answer it.

But the call had such a momentum that he had to answer it, it kept ringing over and over again.

Finally, Shen Jiazhou couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he answered the phone: "If you have to fart, do it now."

The nonchalant man on the other end said, "Why are you so angry? Come out and have a drink."

Before Shen Jiazhou could say anything, someone on the other side said, "Don't think I don't know you're at home today. It's just a matter of turning a corner. Come on, we're short of one player for Mahjong."

Shen Jiazhou's eyes fell on the computer. The last few pages had some photos of Wen Shuqiao from her past. She looked completely different from her current appearance.

He was a little upset: "I know."

When Shen Jiazhou changed his clothes and arrived at his friend's house, they were already seated.

"You're finally here, hurry up, we're short of one!" Gu Xingyuan beckoned him to sit down: "After gathering around, we're finally here!"

"Yes, we have finally collected all the money, and the money is going to fly away." Ning Fei slowly said, "Look at his gloomy face. He can't leave today without an empty wallet. Don't you think so, Xiao Feng?"

Feng Yi chuckled twice: "Anyway, I only brought 100,000 yuan with me. I'll owe it to you when I have more money later."

Shen Jiazhou pulled out his chair amid their teasing: "When did you start talking so much nonsense?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Ning Fei spoke first: "I heard that you have been looking for your nephew who is living outside. How is it going? Do you have any news?"

"Yes, yes, if you tell us, we can help you. After all, Brother Chen was very nice to us back then." Gu Xingyuan sighed, "It's just a pity."

Speaking of Shen Jiazhou's brother Shen Jiachen, everyone's faces became more silent. If it weren't for the accident that year...

Shen Jiazhou only said: "The person has been found."

"Found it?" Feng Yi blinked: "What about the child? Why don't you bring him to show us."

"Yeah, and why didn't you tell me earlier? We uncles haven't even prepared a decent gift." Gu Xingyuan hissed, "No, I have to call them first and ask them to prepare it. The child is four years old, right? I..."

"He's not with me right now." Shen Jiazhou put his cards in order: "You still have time to prepare."

The other three stopped preparing gifts and said as they played cards, "He went back to the old house? Yes, Uncle Shen and his family should be very happy. By the way, did Brother Shen's girlfriend go back with him? I haven't met my sister-in-law yet..."

Gu Xingyuan's leg was kicked by someone under the table. He hissed and looked at Ning Fei who was sitting next to him.

Ning Fei said calmly, "Don't worry, we will prepare a good gift for you."

Shen Jiazhou pushed the cards: "All the same color, self-drawn."

Gu Xingyuan's attention immediately turned to his card type: "Damn, so fast!"

The card game lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening. Shen Jiazhou won a huge sum of money and left feeling refreshed.

Gu Xingyuan lay on the card table, regretting, "Why did I get him close to me? I really, I deserve to die!"

His money!

Ning Fei sneered. Shen Jiazhou was the biggest winner tonight. He stood up and was about to leave. Gu Xingyuan asked, "What are you laughing at? You haven't explained why you kicked me!"

"What else do I need to explain?" Ning Fei said, "Didn't you see Shen Er's ugly face? If I didn't kick you, you would have lost your underwear tonight."

Feng Yi also said: "Looking at Shen Er's appearance, I think it will be difficult to get this child back."

Gu Xingyuan figured out something else and said, "Why didn't you come back? Could it be that my sister-in-law didn't want the child to come back? But I heard that my sister-in-law was from an ordinary family. If the child was raised by the Shen family, he would be the successor of the Shen family."

"Who knows?"

After all, they have never even seen a child.

The next day, after closing the stall, Wen Shuqiao took Cancan to Tingguang Studio.

Their studio is actually not far away, next to where she sets up her stall every day.

Cancan wore a turtle doll suit today. Wen Shuqiao was very satisfied with his look and took a lot of photos with his mobile phone at home to help him adapt to the shooting in advance.

The person who invited them to the interview was named Qingqing. She had been waiting for them to arrive early with a smile on her face.

"Miss Wen." She said softly, "Good afternoon."

Wen Shuqiao also said: "Long time no see."

Then he bent down gently and took out some candy from his pocket: "Canbao, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Cancan held Wen Shuqiao's hand tightly, looked at her aunt first, and only after receiving her affirmative look did she muster up the courage.

It’s okay, it’s okay! My aunt said he is the bravest child!

Brave children should be polite!

Cancan whispered, “I don’t remember.”

Gently she eased the candy in her hand a little closer to him and said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll get to know each other the more we meet in the future. Keep the candy that Auntie gave you."

Cancan took a look at the candy. She had never eaten this candy before and didn’t know whether it tasted good or not.

He didn't move, but looked at Wen Shuqiao again.

After Wen Shuqiao nodded, Cancan reached out and took the candy: "Thank you, Auntie."

The smile on Qingqing's face grew even more: "Canbao is so good."

Cancan blushed in embarrassment.

That’s right!

Canbao is the best-behaved child in the world!

The system chuckled: [I have seen people cheating others, but I have never seen people cheating themselves.]

I don’t know what’s going on in his head!
