"Okay, I'm coming right now!"
Wen Yan immediately cleared the browsing history on her laptop and went downstairs with Aunt Zhang.
"Yan Yan, come here quickly." As soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Yang waved to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan looked in Su Yang's direction upon hearing the sound, only to find that Shen Jingxiu was also there.
"Big brother is back?"
Shen Jingxiu nodded to Wen Yan in response.
Su Yang felt that her eldest son hadn't said enough, so she added an explanation:
"Your older brother had a last-minute cancellation for his appointment today, and since he was out and about and it was on his way, he just came back. These are C brand's new winter collection for this year, take a look and see if there's anything you like."
As Su Yang spoke, she casually handed Wen Yan a brochure from a certain luxury brand.
Wen Yan took the booklet and sat down next to Su Yang.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Autumn has only just begun, and winter clothes are already going on sale."
Shen Jingxiu was sitting opposite her at that moment, flipping through a booklet in his hand.
Normally, Wen Yan would definitely be very excited.
However, she had something on her mind today and lacked interest in doing anything.
She absentmindedly flipped through the exquisite and luxurious booklet in her hand, lost in thought.
Shen Jingxiu must have a lot of connections, right? If we ask him for help, wouldn't it be much more efficient?
Shen Jingxiu's hand, which was turning the pages of the booklet, stopped moving.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to entertainment industry matters, he has learned a bit about the scandals and controversies surrounding Wen Yan online over the past two months.
To some extent, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was universally condemned online. But as far as he knew, she didn't even ask her family for help with this matter.
So what problem has she encountered now that has made her want to ask me for help?
Shen Jingxiu suddenly became curious and began to look forward to it.
But then, Wen Yan's thoughts started to turn strange.
No, no, I can't go to Shen Jingxiu. Shen Jinghe said that Shen Zhirou and he have a very good relationship, so it's definitely not appropriate for me to go to him.
Shen Jingxiu: ...Actually, we were close when we were kids, but things changed later. He's not good at expressing himself, and Zhirou isn't as clingy as she used to be.
But what does asking him for help have to do with his relationship with Zhirou?
When Shen Jingxiu compensated me for the lipstick last time, he also gave Shen Zhirou a whole case of lipsticks as a gift. It's clear he treats his younger sister Shen Zhirou very well. I can't shoot myself in the foot.
Shen Jingxiu: ...Could it be that she and Zhirou are competing again? I heard that she just went to visit Zhirou's adoptive mother today.
[Sigh, if eldest brother isn't working, maybe we should try second brother. His relationship with Shen Zhirou seems just so-so.]
Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly. Shen Jinghe might not be able to handle the things that needed his help. What exactly did she want to do?
However, Wen Yan stopped revealing her true feelings after that.
Because she had already taken out her phone and started contacting Shen Jinghe.
"Second brother, second brother, have you booked your flight? What time are you arriving in City A tomorrow?"
Shen Jinghe: 'Terminal photo (JPG), I've already disembarked'
Wen Yan: 'You're back early? That's great. Can we meet tonight? You can come back, or I can come to you.'
Shen Jinghe: 'What is it?'
Wen Yan: 'It's something very important, but it's not convenient to talk about it on WeChat.'
Shen Jinghe: "Then let's meet at home. The cleaning lady said there's a leak somewhere in my water pipes, and the property management is checking and repairing it."
Wen Yan: ...Is this still the Shen family's second young master, who is so sparing with words?
He should just go home; no one will laugh at him. Why does he need to explain so much?
Wen Yan picked and chose from the emojis, and finally sent a smug emoji.
Shen Jinghe immediately responded with an eye-rolling emoji.
The expression was so vivid that Wen Yan could almost see Shen Jinghe rolling his eyes, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
Her smile instantly drew the attention of the other two people in the house.
"What's making you so happy?" Seeing the child so happy, Su Yang also smiled.
Wen Yan chuckled, "Mom, my second brother will be back soon. He's already arrived and landed."
"Really?" Su Yang smiled even more happily. "Then I'll ask Aunt Zhang to add more dishes."
"Okay! I'll continue watching."
Sensing that she would soon have another ally, Wen Yan felt much more relaxed and began to read the booklet more carefully.
Believe it or not, there were actually two sets that she particularly liked.
After Su Yang returned, the mother and daughter discussed this year's new styles.
About an hour later, Shen Yuan and his son Shen Jinghe stepped into the house at the same time.
Su Yang asked in surprise, "Why did you all come back together?"
"We bumped into each other at the entrance." Although Shen Yuan was a man who rarely showed his emotions, his tone was noticeably gentler than usual at this moment.
Shen Jinghe, unusually, did not retaliate.
After he had rested for a while, the whole family had a peaceful dinner together.
After dinner, Su Yang chatted with Shen Jinghe for a while longer.
Wen Yan leaned on the third-floor stair railing and watched the mother and son separate before sending a message to Shen Jinghe.
"Second brother, second brother, when is a convenient time for you?"
'Now'
Okay, I'll come find you right away.
Wen Yan took the stairs, while Chen Jinghe took the elevator.
Therefore, when Wen Yan arrived at Shen Jinghe's door, he was already inside, and the door was half open.
Wen Yan knew he had left the door open for her, so she knocked lightly twice as a symbolic gesture and went inside.
When she went in, Shen Jingxiu, who lived on the same floor, was just coming out of his study.
Upon seeing this, he unconsciously frowned.
She did indeed go to find Shen Jinghe, but no one knows what they were discussing.
-
"Sit down." Seeing Wen Yan come in, Shen Jinghe casually pointed to a single sofa in the room.
"You said you had something very important to discuss with me. What is it?"
Wen Yan blinked: "Then can you promise me first that you won't get angry when I say it?"
Shen Jinghe turned his head slightly: "Just say what you want to say, stop pretending to be cute."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "I was just thinking that you can't hit someone who's smiling at you."
"Speak quickly."
"So, did you agree? If you don't deny it, then I'll take it as a yes."
"…………"
“Then I’ll tell you. First of all, I want to be honest with you. I haven’t told anyone about this yet, not even Mom. Didn’t you say before that no matter how much Shen Zhirou and I fight, we can’t make Mom angry? So I haven’t told Mom.”
Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow: "So this matter you're talking about is related to Shen Zhirou?"
Wen Yan nodded: "That's right. Here's what happened..."
Wen Yan told Shen Jinghe everything that happened in the original owner's diary, as well as Shen Zhirou's two-faced behavior, including her various suspicions about Shen Zhirou's adoptive parents, in great detail.
