Chapter 431 Both Foolish and Clever
Shen Qingping was furious at being rebuked, but he couldn't show it in front of Shang Shiying, so he could only force a smile and say to Shang Shiying, "Look at this child, he's just not clear-headed enough."
Liu Li winked at Shen Yuzhi, who quickly smiled and went over to Shen Luojia, taking her arm: "Second sister, Dad was just being polite. Besides, even though we saved someone, we shouldn't take credit for it and make them keep thanking us. That wouldn't be right."
As she spoke, she secretly pinched Chen Luojia's arm.
Shen Luojia was displeased: "Why are you pinching me?!"
As he spoke, he kicked her directly in the shin. The pain made Shen Yuzhi gasp, and she looked at Shen Qingping with tears in her eyes: "Dad, Mom, look at Second Sister."
Shen Luojia frowned: "What are you yelling about? You pinched me first!"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender, white arms, with a red mark around her forearm, which she showed to Shang Shiying: "Look, that's where you pinched me."
Liu Li was so angry that her head was throbbing. This idiot actually let Shang Shiying see it!
He quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, please excuse the misunderstanding. These sisters have a very good relationship; they just like it when you hit me and I hit you back."
Shang Shiying glanced at the bruises on Shen Luojia's arm, then at the mottled bruises on her face, and smiled meaningfully: "Is that so? They really are sisters. I have five sons, all of whom were naughty when they were young and often got into fights."
"But I've never resorted to underhanded tactics. If someone dared to do that, I could break their bamboo stick. Of course, it could also be that your daughter is different, or that the ones you raise around you are different?"
Liu Li smiled awkwardly, while Shen Qingping secretly glared at Shen Yuzhi and also smiled apologetically: "Sister-in-law, they're just kids who don't know any better. Let's ignore them and sit down to have some tea."
Shang Shiying had no interest in sitting any longer: "I came here today to thank Luo Jia. I've been here long enough, so I should go back now."
Turning back to Shen Luojia, his smile became more sincere: "Luojia, if you ever feel wronged, come find me at Xiangshan Courtyard, okay?"
Shen Luojia nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."
Liu Li and Shen Qingping's expressions darkened. Wasn't this tantamount to saying that their family was abusing Shen Luojia?
Just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion outside. The Chu family had brought Chu Jiahe over for a blind date.
The people who came were Chu Jiahe's mother, Chen Lanfeng, and his aunt, Chu Hongying.
Between the two men was their mentally challenged son, Chu Jiahe, who looked completely dazed and would occasionally let out a silly chuckle as he walked.
Shang Shiying had met Chen Lanfeng a few times, but they were not very familiar with each other. When they met again, he still greeted her.
Chen Lanfeng greeted Shang Shiying politely and praised him, saying, "Li Simin from your family is now a very famous person. He was received by a high-ranking leader. He's quite remarkable."
Shang Shiying smiled politely: "He's just an ordinary kid who did a job he liked and happened to achieve some success. He's nothing special."
She was too modest, but Chen Lanfeng felt uncomfortable. Why was Shang Shiying's son so outstanding? She heard that his second son was also very capable, but she had given birth to a stupid son.
I'm over thirty and can't even take care of myself.
After exchanging greetings, Chu Hongying spotted Chu Yuzhi immediately and smiled, "This must be the child who went on a blind date with Jiahe, right? She looks good and has a nice figure; she'll definitely be able to have children in the future."
Shen Yuzhi felt disgusted when she saw Chu Jiahe's mentally impaired appearance. Now, hearing Chu Hongying say this, she jumped up in displeasure and said, "No, I'm not, it's my second sister."
As she spoke, she pointed at Shen Luojia and said, "My second sister is the one, and besides, my second sister is prettier."
Chu Hongying looked at the slender Shen Luojia and the bluish-red marks on her face, which were shocking and somewhat frightening: "This won't do, she's too thin, and what happened to her face?"
Seeing that his original plan had been completely disrupted, Shen Qingping had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to explain: "Sister-in-law, the original plan was for the second son to marry Jiahe. This face is from when I was saving someone last night, yes, when I was saving Li Simin."
"Speaking of which, my Luojia is very kind. Even knowing there is danger, he will still choose to save people."
Shang Shiying looked at Shen Qingping with a puzzled expression. She hadn't said which son was injured, so why did Shen Qingping directly say it was Li Simin?
Also, I forgot to ask how the girl got the injury on her face. If she was injured while saving Li Simin, she can't just leave like that and let the Shen family bully her.
But Shen Luojia spoke up: "I wasn't injured while saving someone. I rolled down here by myself last night. Didn't Mom, Dad, and my sister see me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone except the fool Chu Jiahe looked grim.
Chen Lanfeng frowned: "Forget it, I don't care about your family affairs. We agreed to come here today to arrange a blind date for Jiahe, so let the two children get to know each other."
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yuzhi. She had naturally taken a liking to Shen Yuzhi, who looked much healthier and could at least give her a healthy grandson.
As for Shen Luojia, this girl is too thin and looks timid. If her son gets angry, he could probably kill her with one punch.
Forget it, I don't want to get involved in a murder case.
Upon hearing this, Chu Jiahe, who was standing next to her, chuckled foolishly, drooling as he called out to Shen Yuzhi, "Wife, wife."
Although he was simple-minded, he still knew which clothes looked good. Shen Yuzhi was wearing a dress, and she looked beautiful.
Shen Yuzhi cried out anxiously, "Mom, it's not me, it's Shen Luojia! I don't want it..."
Fearing that Chen Lanfeng would get angry, Shen Qingping quickly stopped her, saying, "Alright, since Jiahe likes you, you should chat with him."
Shen Yuzhi was anxious; what was there to talk about with a fool?
Shang Shiying, who was watching from the side, sneered inwardly. This Shen family was truly despicable. Just like the rumors, they really intended to bring Shen Luojia back and marry her off to Chu Jiahe.
Looking at the somewhat chaotic scene in the living room, he smiled and looked at Shen Luojia: "Luojia, would you be willing to take me to the hospital? I suddenly feel a little weak and can't walk."
Shen Luojia nodded somewhat blankly; "Okay."
She really enjoys doing things that are helpful to others.
Grandma said that as long as she helps one person in need, she will gain some popularity, and the more she does, the more people will like her.
Shang Shiying then turned to look at Shen Qingping and Liu Li: "Since you have guests at home, you can go ahead and do your work. I'll have Luo Jia see me out."
Shen Qingping could only nod: "Then take care, sister-in-law. Come again when you have time."
After saying that, he politely escorted the person to the front door.
In the living room, Chu Hongying spoke up on behalf of her sister-in-law: "I think Jiahe likes Yuzhi quite a bit. Since neither of the children has any objections, let's find a time to get them married as soon as possible."
Liu Li panicked: "What? Marriage? How could it be so fast? And according to the order, it should be Luo Jia marrying Jia He."
Shen Yuzhi screamed, "I don't want to marry him! I don't want to marry a fool!"
