Why was Duan Xi'er let go in Chapter 71?
Shen Jingsi said, "Actually, in the end, we should thank Lu Xiaosi."
That night, he searched the entire neighborhood for Lu Zhenyu several times, but he couldn't give up.
Perhaps it was the three days they spent together that made him feel he was about to understand the girl's heart, and he felt that she wouldn't run away without a reason.
I was sitting in the living room late at night, feeling annoyed, when I went to the balcony for a smoke and accidentally discovered the little tabby cat lying in the flower bushes.
Shen Jingsi then realized something was wrong and checked the community's surveillance footage that night.
As for this seemingly endless manor with its dazzling yet understated interior, he bought it for himself many years ago by credit card.
At that time, he was immersed in the pain of Lu Zhenyu's departure, numbing himself by working hard during the day and drinking himself into oblivion at night.
When they bought the manor, although they didn't expect it to have a future, they still harbored a tiny, unrealistic fantasy.
He personally designed, purchased, supervised, and participated in the entire construction process.
For a long time, decorating this manor was a way for him to heal himself.
Actually, I was hoping that they might move in together in the future, otherwise why would I design everything according to her preferences?
Even the study and the woods behind the mountain are the same as those in the Shen family's house.
Looking at Lu Xiaosi, who was doing parkour all over the room, Lu Zhenyu felt hot in the eyes, wrapped her arms around Shen Jingsi's neck, and buried her face in his chest.
"Thank you, Shen Jingsi."
She didn't shed a single tear when Zheng Yaozong bullied her, but she cried her eyes out while watching Cat Parkour.
Shen Jingsi was a little unsure of what the girl was thinking. "Silly girl, there's no need to thank me."
No, Lu Zhenyu is really grateful to him.
Looking at the lively little tabby cat, this was the first time she felt that she wasn't a cursed star, nor that everyone and everything that came near her would become unfortunate.
Shen Jingsi was unaware of these thoughts.
After lunch, he took her hand and they toured the manor.
Vineyards, golf courses, swimming pools, artificial lakes connected to rockeries, and a fully automated glass room that is in full bloom with flowers and fruits this season.
Standing on the lookout tower, you can see other estates a kilometer away.
"That's Feng Jinheng's house, the one we went to last time. If you're ever bored, you can go visit his wife."
Lu Zhenyu turned around as if remembering something. "Where's Manman? How is she?"
Shen Jingsi reassured her, "Don't worry, that lady is full of energy. She's with Xiao Er right now, and I'll have him bring her over later."
Lu Zhenyu was finally relieved.
She completely trusts Shen Jinchuan.
Looking back on yesterday, she had originally intended to find an opportunity to help the two break the ice, which was why she suggested going for drinks at Nightclub. Who would have thought...
Thinking of Duan Xier's face last night, Lu Zhenyu's breathing became heavier.
She used to think that although this woman was bad, her feelings for Shen Jingsi were genuine, and she had some redeeming qualities.
But now it seems that this person is the biggest troublemaker.
Shen Jingsi said she wanted to go back to the Shen family home to bring back all the things she had left there since she was a child.
Just as they were about to set off, Feng Manman arrived.
The Rolls-Royce and the Hongqi met at the entrance of the manor. Feng Manman rushed out of the passenger seat and came to the back of the Rolls-Royce.
Her first words were a question: "Why did you let Duan Xi'er go?"
Sitting in the back seat, Shen Jingsi looked out the car window and asked, "Why did you hurt her?"
Feng Manman stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Are you playing the innocent fool with me? I already told you everything that happened last night. It was Duan Xier who orchestrated everything from beginning to end!"
Shen Jingsi laughed dismissively, "Do you have any evidence?"
"..." Feng Manman, "I, the person who was drugged, am the evidence. And Zhenzhen, didn't she tell you?"
Upon hearing that Zheng Yaozong had been beaten to the point of near death by this man in the morning, Feng Manman felt an immediate sense of satisfaction.
But upon hearing that Duan Xi'er was completely unharmed, his anger immediately flared up.
But the man spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, "So that means you don't have solid evidence to prove that she did it."
"I……"
Feng Manman was speechless with emotion.
Shen Jingsi continued, "Since there's no evidence, what grounds do I have to teach her a lesson?"
Feng Manman choked again, blinking her big eyes for a long time, "Shen Jingsi, do you want to hear what you're saying!"
She was quite moved after learning about what he had done in secret a few days ago, thinking that her sister had met a man who loved her so much in her life, so her love had not been in vain.
As a result, he turned around and did this to her?
"Shen Jingsi, don't tell me you can't bear to part with that bitch."
Shen Jingsi turned his face back, his expression clearly darkening.
Just then, Shen Jinchuan arrived and heard him say:
“I don’t need you to tell me what to do. Instead of thinking about how to deal with Duan Xi’er, you should use your brain to be smarter. You are resilient, but Zhenzhen can’t withstand being tormented.”
Feng Manman was completely dumbfounded!
What's the meaning?
This person got diarrhea from drinking porridge. It's not Duan Xi'er's fault, but rather the tap water that had some bleach added.
Shen Jinchuan stepped forward and said, "Brother, this isn't a hopeless situation. We can't resort to victim-blaming."
Shen Jingsi certainly knew.
He simply doesn't like being questioned, because he has his own considerations and pace.
Thinking it over, she softened her tone, "I will investigate and handle whatever the truth may be. Just take care of yourself. Zhenzhen is waiting at home. Go in and find her."
After he finished speaking, the car window slowly closed, and he left Hongqi behind, driving away alone.
Seeing his girlfriend's face flushed with anger, yelling at the Rolls-Royce that had driven away, Shen Jinchuan pulled her into his arms and soothed her by gently pressing his heaving chest, "Don't be angry."
Feng Manman glared at her angrily, "Why aren't you angry? Didn't you hear what he just said..."
"I have my own plans."
Feng Manman paused mid-sentence, "What?"
Looking at the girl who was a little confused but cute, Shen Jinchuan smiled and patiently explained, "He's not ignoring Duan Xi'er; it's just that the later plans still need her."
Feng Manman suddenly realized something and her eyes lit up. "You mean that thing he's going to do?"
Shen Jinchuan nodded.
If that's the case, then she understands everything.
But then, remembering what the man had just said, her face darkened again. "Then why did he insult me?!"
Shen Jinchuan chuckled and ruffled the girl's frizzy hair. "He's afraid that you might suddenly come up with some earth-shattering idea and do something that would affect the rest of the plan."
Feng Manman initially wanted to say, "Who do you think I'm fooling?" But then she thought of the day the Shen family burned down, almost shattering someone's carefully crafted "prodigal son's return" act...
Okay, then she'll let it go for now.
…
When Duan Xi'er arrived at the Shen family home after receiving a call from Shen's mother, Shen Jingsi was lounging lazily on the sofa, fiddling with an emerald button in his hand.
Chen's mother sat opposite him, her face flushed, glaring at him with fury.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
With Duan Xi'er's arrival, Mother Shen finally had a place to vent her grievances.
He pulled her aside and told her everything: the Zheng family had come to demand Lu Zhenyu's return today, Shen Jingsi had hidden Lu Zhenyu, and now they were moving.
Duan Xi'er's face grew increasingly green as she listened, and she followed her mother's glare as she looked at Shen Jingsi across from her.
The man sat sprawled on the armchair, legs crossed, his eyes drooping as he fiddled with a button, exuding a nonchalant and carefree air.
Suppressing her surging emotions, Duan Xi'er asked, "A-Si, what exactly do you mean?"
Shen Jingsi suddenly laughed, raising his eyes to slowly glance at the person, "You're asking me that?"
