Chapter 49 Schemes
Shen Xizhen gave Shen Lin a playful slap and said with disdain, "Who am I doing this for? If I don't teach Chen Jia a lesson, what if she tries to kill you?"
He believed Chen Jia was capable of doing something similar, since Chen Jia was capable of even harming his own mother.
Shen Lin rubbed the spot where she had been hit, and glared at Shen Xizhen with annoyance: "If it weren't for you, would I have been targeted? And now you're hitting me? Aren't you going too far?"
Seeing Shen Lin looking at him with such dissatisfaction, Shen Xizhen rubbed Shen Lin's head and said, "Alright, do as I say."
Chen Jia happened to see them discussing this matter from a corner.
She watched as Shen Xizhen affectionately ruffled Shen Lin's hair, even looking at Shen Lin with doting eyes.
Even though Shen Lin is Shen Xizhen's younger sister, Chen Jia is still extremely jealous.
Jealousy made her want to get rid of Shen Lin immediately.
But we can't do that now, Shen Xizhen will get angry.
What should I do?
Chen Jia stared blankly at the interaction between the two.
I wish it were me.
During the meal, Shen Xizhen served food to Shen Lin and also served her rice. Shen Lin also told Shen Xizhen a lot about school and home.
Whatever it was, Chen Jia found herself unable to interject, or even find a reason to speak.
The meal passed in the midst of Shen Xizhen and her brother's conversation and Chen Jia's silence.
After dinner, Shen Lin went to Shen Xizhen's room.
"Brother, you're trying to kill me! Didn't you see how dangerous Chen Jia looked at me just now? She looked like she wanted to kill me. Do you think she really likes you that much? What if she turns on you in order to get you?"
This is what Shen Lin is most worried about.
Shen Xizhen glanced at Shen Lin and casually said while playing with the cup in her hand, "That's why I want to teach Chen Jia a lesson and let her know her place so she won't try to overstep her bounds."
Shen Lin frowned as she looked at Shen Xizhen. Why did she feel that this matter was not so easy?
"Brother, be careful. I have a feeling this isn't as easy as you think; it'll probably be quite troublesome." Shen Lin hates trouble these days.
"Don't worry, I will have people protect you and will appear when it matters. You can rest assured about that."
Although he wanted Shen Lin to cooperate with him in targeting Chen Jia, he never intended for Shen Lin to get hurt.
"Alright then, I'll be going now. I'm worried that if I stay here too long, Chen Jia will hate me even more." Just thinking about Chen Jia's eyes gave Shen Lin goosebumps all over her body.
This is terrifying.
Shen Xizhen rolled her eyes at Shen Lin and said irritably, "I know you too well. This little thing is not going to scare you."
Shen Lin chuckled twice, raised an eyebrow at Shen Xizhen, and said, "Brother, it's not that I'm scared, but Chen Jia is like a viper, lurking in the shadows and I don't know when she'll make her move. That makes me very worried."
Shen Xizhen didn't speak, but looked at Shen Lin with guilt: "This is my fault."
If it weren't for her own actions, Shen Xizhen wouldn't have been targeted like this.
"Why are you being so polite with me, brother? Don't worry, I'll definitely help you. But you should deal with this guy yourself first; just looking at him gives me goosebumps."
After saying that, he left.
When she went out, she saw Chen Jia standing at the door of her room, looking at her.
Just as she was about to return to her room, Chen Jia came over and blocked Shen Lin's way.
Looking at Chen Jia blocking her way, Shen Lin asked suspiciously, "Is there something you need?"
Chen Jia looked at Shen Lin, then glanced at the room next door before saying to Shen Lin, "What did you say to Shen Xizhen just now? Why did you stay in there for so long?"
That blunt questioning made Chen Jia realize that this person was actually quite interesting.
Shen Lin crossed her arms, looking at Chen Jia with a half-smile, and asked with interest, "Chen Jia, whatever I said to my brother inside, what does it have to do with you?"
"What did you say?"
"Do I have to report to you when I chat with my brother about family matters? Don't you know who my brother is? What gives you the right to question me like this?" Shen Lin really couldn't understand. Chen Jia wasn't even her sister-in-law yet, and she dared to talk like this. She really thought she was someone important.
Chen Jia looked at Shen Lin with red eyes: "Shen Lin, even if you are his sister, you better watch yourself. He is mine, and you'd better stay away from him, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing Chen Jia's completely impolite attitude, Shen Lin chuckled softly.
"Chen Jia, my brother must have told you not to lay a hand on me, right? If you really did lay a hand on me, what would my brother do to you?"
Hearing Shen Lin's words, Chen Jia immediately calmed down.
Yes, Shen Xizhen had warned her.
If she did something to Shen Lin, Shen Xizhen probably wouldn't let herself off the hook.
No, Shen Xizhen must not know about this.
Thinking of something, Chen Jia looked at Shen Lin in front of her and said, "You should move out of here and find somewhere else to live."
Chen Jia wasn't discussing this with Shen Lin; she was informing Shen Lin.
Keep Shen Lin away from Shen Xizhen.
Shen Lin never expected Chen Jia to say such a thing.
Looking Chen Jia up and down, Shen Lin chuckled softly, "Chen Jia, who do you think you are?"
“You…” Chen Jia thought she had made herself clear enough.
Shen Lin walked up to Chen Jia, patted Chen Jia's face, and looked at Chen Jia seriously, saying, "Chen Jia, don't forget, this is my brother's and my home. You are the outsider. Even if someone has to be driven away, the person who leaves will definitely be you, not me."
“If you don’t believe me, we’ll go see my brother right now and ask him who he wants to leave.”
Seeing Chen Jia's face change instantly, Shen Lin smiled slightly and said in a good mood, "Chen Jia, do you think you're the mistress of this place just because you live here? Do you dare to tell my brother to make me leave?"
Chen Jia didn't speak, and even seemed a little flustered.
She really didn't dare to say that to Shen Xizhen.
After all, Shen Xizhen had just warned her today not to provoke Shen Lin or hurt her.
If Shen Xizhen knew that she had come to cause trouble for Shen Lin, and even wanted to make Shen Lin leave, Shen Xizhen would definitely not let her off.
No, Shen Xizhen must not know about this.
Seeing Chen Jia's constantly changing expression, Shen Lin's lips curled slightly, her eyes full of mockery towards Chen Jia.
Moving closer to Chen Jia, Shen Lin looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Chen Jia, do you think my brother really likes you? That he'd abandon his own sister for you?"
"Or rather, are you already the lady of this house?"
