Chapter 83: Pretty Widow 5: The Beautiful Widow Who Kills Her Husband
The rain gradually got heavier, with raindrops as big as soybeans falling down, splashing puddles on the ground one after another.
The man's voice mixed with the sound of rain reached Wu Lan's ears.
The man in front of him had a handsome face, superior bone structure, high brow bones and nose bridge, and a slightly sharp jawline. When he didn't speak, he gave people a cold and distant feeling.
The other person was tall, and he estimated that he was only at the level of his shoulders. He had to raise his head to see the man's face clearly.
The moment he looked up, the black hat on his head was blown up by the wind.
Li Chensen quickly grabbed the black hat and vaguely smelled a faint fragrance from the hat.
He handed the hat to Wu Lan and said in a light voice: "Sister-in-law, your hat."
Wu Lan took the hat, but he didn't put it back on his head. He just tucked his windblown hair behind his ears and whispered, "Thank you."
From the man's name, we can tell that this is another brother of her husband.
He had an impression of this man.
At the funeral ceremony just now, he clearly remembered that the other party said something to Shen Yulin, but unfortunately he was standing far away and didn't hear anything.
But at that time he didn't know that this man was Li Chensen, and thought he was a good friend of Shen Yulin.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Wu Lan."
Bumping into the other person's gentle and steady black eyes, Wu Lan was a little overwhelmed. She had no choice but to imitate the other person and say some polite words: "Nice to meet you, too."
Li Chensen noticed Wu Lan's reservedness, and after just a few words, he basically figured out that his beautiful sister-in-law was probably not good at talking to others.
His eyes darkened, and he asked softly, "Is sister-in-law waiting for Uncle Chen?"
Uncle Chen is the butler. Wu Lan heard many people call the butler that. After they got to know each other better, he also started calling him Uncle Chen.
Wu Lan nodded, "Uncle Chen told me to wait here while he and the driver went to drive."
Hearing this, Li Chensen looked surprised. "I just met Uncle Chen, and he said there was something wrong with his car. It seemed to have broken down."
"How about I give you a call and ask?"
"Then I'll trouble you."
Wu Lan watched Li Chensen dial the housekeeper's number. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.
"Uncle Chen, did the car break down?"
"Now I need to find someone to fix it. Okay, got it..."
"Yes, at the door, my sister-in-law is right next to me."
"...Okay, no problem, don't worry."
Wu Lan couldn't hear what Uncle Chen said on the phone, but she roughly knew what he said based on Li Chensen's reply.
Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, Li Chensen said, "The car did break down. Uncle Chen asked me to take you home."
Wu Lan nodded, her voice a little shy: "I really trouble you."
"No trouble."
The corners of Li Chensen's mouth curled up slightly, and the smile deepened until Wu Lan got into the car with him.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the windshield with a loud noise, and the wipers swept over and over again.
Li Chensen took out two tissues from somewhere and said, "Wipe it off. The hem of your skirt seems to be wet."
Wu Lan took the tissue and thanked him quietly: "The hem of my skirt is a little wet, but it's okay."
"Thank you."
After just over ten minutes of spending time together, he felt that Li Chensen was friendly, gentle and considerate, and a good person.
"You're welcome."
Li Chensen started the car and set the navigation. "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. After all, we are a family, and it's only natural for us to help each other."
After hearing this, Wu Lan felt even more favorable towards Li Chensen.
This person seems quite aloof, with a serious and stern expression, and seems difficult to approach. I didn't expect him to be so kind and considerate to his family.
Wu Lan changed her opinion of Li Chensen and felt that she shouldn't judge people by their appearance.
The funeral was held about forty minutes away from the Shen family's house, and because it was raining, it took almost an hour to drive home.
At first, the two were chatting. As they were chatting, Li Chensen noticed that Wu Lan was a little sleepy, so he stopped talking and turned down the volume of the car music.
Stopping at the intersection and waiting for the traffic light, his eyes fell on the girl in the passenger seat.
At Shen Yulin's funeral, he fell in love with his sister-in-law at first sight.
Before today, I always laughed off the words "love at first sight" and never believed in such nonsense.
But from the moment he saw Wu Lan, his whole heart was moved.
Over the years, he had never liked anyone, nor did he ever think that he would like anyone or fall in love with anyone.
He has been weak in emotions since he was young, and his feelings are very cold even towards his biological brother.
I came to attend Shen Yulin's funeral this time only because of the care Shen's father had given me back then.
I didn't expect to meet someone I like here.
What he didn't expect was that this person was actually Shen Yulin's newlywed wife, and his nominal sister-in-law.
'Sister-in-law in name' is just a meaningless title.
Now that Shen Yulin is dead, this is no longer an obstacle, but a good excuse for him to get close to his sister-in-law.
It was his duty and obligation to help his deceased elder brother take care of his delicate new wife, and he was happy to serve.
Thinking of this, Li Chensen looked at Wu Lan with even more pity. He wanted to touch that fair and delicate face, but was worried about scaring her.
Take your time.
Don't be in a hurry, be more patient, and your sister-in-law will eventually accept him.
According to his understanding, Wu Lan and Shen Yulin had no emotional foundation, and such a weak relationship made it convenient for him to take advantage of the opportunity to break in.
The traffic light ahead turned green, and just as the car behind was about to honk its horn, Li Chensen stepped on the accelerator and continued driving towards the Shen family.
Wu Lan was awakened by 2720.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyelids opened, revealing a pair of misty watery eyes like black pearls. She looked around blankly, obviously not awake yet.
"woke up?"
Hearing this gentle male voice, Wu Lan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Chensen suddenly reached out and gently wiped his face with his fingertips.
"There's a dirty thing."
When Li Chensen withdrew his hand, Wu Lan's sleepy head finally became much clearer. He touched his face and suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.
Did he just drool?!
There was no feeling of moisture at the corners of her mouth, but as soon as she thought of this possibility, Wu Lan's face turned red and she was a little afraid to look at people.
I looked out of the car and found that I had arrived home.
"Mr. Li, thank you for sending me back."
Hearing this address, Li Chensen frowned, "Sister-in-law, you can just call me by my name, you don't have to be so polite to me."
"It's my duty to serve you."
The last sentence was said with a smile, and Wu Lan's face flushed again, but she was indeed not so restrained anymore, and smiled: "Call me by name... Then I will call you Chen Sen from now on, is that okay?"
"Of course, or you can call me brother." Li Chensen's eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "You should be much younger than me, so it's okay to call me brother."
"Yeah, Chen Sen brother."
It was just a name, so Wu Lan didn't worry too much about it. He just called the other person whatever he wanted to hear, completely forgetting the extremely thin kinship relationship between them.
The rain is still falling outside.
Li Chensen got out of the car first, holding an umbrella to pick up Wu Lan, and then considerately sent her to the door of the villa.
"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"
"No, I'll come back next time if I have the chance."
Li Chensen politely declined Wu Lan's invitation. As soon as he returned to the car, he received a call from Li Yiche.
"Brother, Uncle Chen said you sent your sister-in-law home?"
Li Chensen restarted the car and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
On the phone, Li Yiche was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Brother, you are so deceitful."
Li Chensen chuckled and hung up the phone.
The black car slowly drove away.
A tall man was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the villa, but his shadow could not be reflected in the glass.
Shen Yulin stared at the car with a cold face until he could no longer see it, then he looked away.
The pitch-black eyes seemed to be blurred by thick ink, with darkness swirling inside.

After returning home, Wu Lan first drank a sip of the hot tea poured by the servant before returning to her room.
My skirt had already dried, but when I got off the car just now, it was splashed with rain and it stuck to my skin, which was very uncomfortable.
As soon as she returned to the room, Wu Lan picked up her clothes with a clear goal and locked herself in the bathroom.
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Shen Yulin, who had been staying in the room, looked even gloomier.
Originally, he planned to go out with Wu Lan and others today to attend his own funeral.
But for some reason, he couldn't leave the Shen family's door.
As if restricted by something, there was a wall at the door of the Shen family, and no matter what he did, he couldn't leave.
There was no choice but to stay at home and wait for Wu Lan to come back.
After waiting for a long time, Wu Lan finally returned home, but he clearly saw that Wu Lan was sent back by a man holding an umbrella.
Because they were holding the same umbrella, the two were very close to each other.
Wu Lan is petite. The man whose face was blocked by the umbrella put his arm around Wu Lan's shoulders and almost held his wife in his arms.
Thinking of the scene of the two of them leaning against each other, Shen Yulin's face became even uglier.
Fifteen minutes later, the bathroom door opened.
Wu Lan walked out of the white mist. Her fair skin was a little red from taking a hot bath. Her whole face was rosy and looked particularly watery.
He went to blow dry his hair first, then lay down on the bed as if exhausted.
Feeling a layer of coldness touching her face, Wu Lan pursed her lips and dodged, but the cold feeling came back again.
【System, don't touch me. 】
He had just taken a shower and his whole body smelled clean and fragrant. I don’t know if 2720’s hands were dirty. What if he got dirty by touching him casually?
2720 couldn't help but raise a question mark, [I didn't touch you. ]
It wasn't the system touching it, could it be a ghost touching it?
Wu Lan felt that 2720 was lying, but he was very tired now, so he planned to settle the score with 2720 after he woke up from a sleep.
Looking at his wife with her eyes closed, Shen Yulin frowned. He wanted to pinch this soft and white face, but in the end he couldn't bear to do it and only dared to stroke it gently.
"Who is the man who brought you back?"
Even though he knew he wouldn't get a response, he couldn't help but ask again: "Why did you let him hug you? Are you two familiar with each other?"
After asking three questions in succession, Shen Yulin suddenly realized that asking questions like this would make him seem too concerned, petty, and unpresentable.
After thinking about it, he looked as if he had been defeated, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
After a while, Shen Yulin suppressed the darkness in his eyes and said sourly: "You are my wife, do you know that?"
...
It's been two days since the funeral.
After the funeral, the people who came to express their condolences disappeared all of a sudden, and the villa never welcomed any new guests.
Wu Lan has been living a leisurely and comfortable life these two days.
The happy life of a widow with money and leisure almost made her forget the existence of the mission.
But today, his happy life is coming to an end.
Looking at the two Li brothers who appeared with their luggage, Wu Lan was stunned, and the mechanical electronic sound of 2720 rang in his mind at the same time.
[Beep! As a young widow with a large inheritance, many people are eyeing your money, hoping to get a piece of it. Shen Yulin has two adopted brothers, and they're eyeing the huge inheritance.]
[Given your negativity and negligence towards the mission these past two days, the system will repeat the mission for you: 1. Find the mastermind behind the harm to the Shen family; 2. Protect your husband's property.]
[If the system detects that you are passive in your approach to the task again, you will be punished.]
Wu Lan was still silently digesting this matter in his heart. Li Chensen and Li Yiche had already walked up to him with gentle smiles on their faces.
Seeing Wu Lan's stunned look, Li Yiche touched Wu Lan's head in a familiar manner and asked meaningfully:
"Sister-in-law, you look so bad, don't you welcome us?"
