Ye Huan pulled her aside and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him.
"Sister, that... Nian Nian really likes Mr. Lu. Xue Shuyi is the obstacle between them that could become real at any time. You are pushing her towards Xue Shuyi. Isn't that a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that? Shouldn't I help her check it out? Just give it a try?"
"The most important thing between real lovers is mutual trust. What if your probing behavior creates a rift between them?"
Shen Xiaochu hooked her neck in a vulgar manner, "You are quite considerate of her~"
"Of course. You are her alter ego. Since you are using her body, don't you consider her?"
"Isn't this the reason I came out to prevent her from getting hurt?"
"That's true..."
Shen Xiaochu pinched her cheek and said, “I know.”
Lu Jinzhou still had the same icy expression as before she left. "What did you say?"
"Tell me if you would be willing to stay and take care of Xiao Qingmei?"
"Do you want me to go?"
The problem came back to her. Shen Xiaochu raised her hand and buttoned up the two buttons of the man's shirt, dragging her voice.
"Whether I want to go or not...isn't the important thing whether you want to go or not?"
Lu Jinzhou raised his cheek and put his thin lips close to her ear, "I think you deserve to be fucked."
Shen Xiaochu was in a good mood. It seemed that Shen Nianchu had been doing quite well recently. She was already under the control of Mr. Lu, so she was relieved.
…
After finishing the statement at the police station, Lu Jinzhou immediately sent the person back to the hotel. When he went to the garage, he saw that the person in his arms was still asleep. He thought that the person must be very tired, so he directly carried the person back to the room.
The convenience of making a relationship public is that you don’t have to be on guard against any sneaky things.
Lu Jinzhou put the person on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Then he tiptoed out of the bedroom, closed the door, and sat on the sofa. "What did you find out?"
Pei An checked on Xu Tingrou again these two days. When he received the call from Shen Nianchu, he was about to listen to the report. He was interrupted at that time and was free now.
"The school knew that Miss Shen was your person, so they told the truth. Miss Shen did not seduce Tang Hao at the time. It was Xu Tingrou who was unable to pursue her, so she attributed the reason for her being framed on Miss Shen and bullied Miss Shen together with others."
Pei An finished speaking and played the recording, which was the recording of the head teacher who had taught Shen Nianchu in the past.
"Chen Nianchu used to be a very good student, always getting first place in the grade. But ever since Xu Tingrou made a fool of herself, every time after a test, I'd always find Chen Nianchu missing a book, her school uniform, or wet hair during class."
"Later, I occasionally encountered other students bullying her in the restroom. They locked her in a toilet cubicle and kept pouring water on her. It was winter, but I was just a newly employed teacher at the time. What could I do? I helped Shen Nianchu once, and the next day I was warned by the principal."
"After that, the bullying got worse and worse, and her body was covered in bruises. Xu Tingrou even brought the entire class to the playground, each holding a bucket of water and pouring it on her. They also deliberately tore up all her homework, forcing the teacher to punish her."
"He poured ink on the desk, stuffed a spider in the desk box, put super glue on the bench, beat her for no reason, and bullied, mocked, and insulted her every chance he got on the way to and from school..."
The head teacher rambled on and on about his memories for a long time. When Pei An spoke again, his tone was a little heavier.
"Could Shen Nianchu's family tolerate their daughter being bullied like this at school? Didn't they come to the school?"
"I did look for them, but the Shen family couldn't hold their heads up in front of the Xu family. Shen Nianchu's father was also very strange at the time. I told him about this matter, but he didn't care at all. He said that children go to school to study, not to make friends. Later, there was no other way. I had to visit Shen Nianchu's home and tell her mother, so she was allowed to leave the school."
"She was truly pitiful when she was little. I remember when she was about to leave school, she sometimes seemed like a different person. Sometimes she was timid and well-behaved, and sometimes she was naughty and irritable. The day before she left school, she even beat Tang Hao up. It seemed like she was suffering from depression. I don't know the details..."
"I'm just a teacher. I really did everything I could to help her, but I can't lose my job..."
"Afterwards, the Xu family destroyed all evidence of the bullying and demanded that everyone who knew about Xu Tingrou's bullying speak with one voice and keep their mouths shut. That's why I said that before..."
Lu Jinzhou didn't know how he managed to finish listening to the recording that lasted more than ten minutes. He felt a tightness in his chest after listening to it. He took a deep breath and spoke again, but his voice was already hoarse.
"What happened after you went to England?"
"I can't find any medical records, but the owner of the house where she lived in England at the time was an internationally renowned psychologist. Miss Shen stayed there until she was about to take the college entrance examination before returning to China. I can't rule out the possibility that she had depression. Otherwise, I..."
“Ahhhhhhhhh…”
A shrill cry came from the bedroom. Lu Jinzhou immediately stood up and rushed in. He saw Shen Nianchu hugging her knees in an extremely fragile posture, shaking her head and muttering something.
When Lu Jinzhou got closer to her, he heard her muttering, "Don't come over, don't come over..."
Perhaps because he was frightened by the kidnappers tonight, Lu Jinzhou said cautiously and softly, "Niannian, it's me. Don't be afraid. It's okay..."
Shen Nianchu finally came back to his senses and looked at Lu Jinzhou blankly. After a moment of shock, he relaxed. "Why am I here?"
Pei An was even more certain that Chen Nianchu might have a mental illness. "You beat up those kidnappers and said you were tired, so my grandfather sent you back."
Shen Nianchu began to get nervous again. Facing Lu Jinzhou's suspicious eyes, he tried his best to explain, "I... I just had a nightmare and was confused, so I..."
They've all started, it seems that Shen Xiaochu has been here, but fortunately William has returned and had an appointment for psychological counseling tomorrow morning.
Lu Jinzhou took her into his arms and patted her back gently, as if afraid of startling her.
"I know, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you go to Haicheng alone to film. I should have been with you. Even if I wasn't there, I should have arranged for someone to protect you. I was negligent."
Shen Nianchu shook her head and said, "I want to go out tomorrow morning to meet an old friend. We made an appointment before, and I don't want to break it."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
“No need…I…”
Lu Jinzhou locked his eyes with her and said, "I'll just take you there and pick you up when you're done."
Giving her enough space, she knew he was still worried and there was no reason for her to refuse, so she said,
"Okay, I'll definitely find a suitable opportunity to introduce you two later."
