"What business do you have with our young lady?" The butler asked, somewhat surprised, as he sized up the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Young Miss? What Young Miss?" Shen Meiyan, who was following behind, came closer, wanting to find out what was going on.
The butler frowned, sensing something was amiss with the two men. He lowered his head, picked up the walkie-talkie, and called out, "Xiao Lei, someone's looking for Miss. Come to the main gate."
Soon, the butler saw two people walking over.
Wei Qiao walked in front, with Xiao Lei following behind, striding towards the door.
Before even getting close, Wei Qiao recognized the person. When Rong Mo had asked him to investigate earlier, he had also thoroughly investigated the Shen family.
"Mr. Shen, what brings you all the way from Nancheng to the capital with Miss Shen?" Wei Qiao asked calmly, getting straight to the point.
"You know me?" Shen Yanshan's eyes widened, and he searched his memory for the person in front of him with some suspicion, but he really had no recollection of her. So he turned to look at Shen Meiyan, trying to find a clue from her.
Shen Meiyan looked at Wei Qiao with the same confusion.
"Who exactly are you?" Shen Yanshan suppressed his surprise and asked in a questioning tone.
"Who I am is not important. It's just that, Mr. Shen, you shouldn't have come here." Wei Qiao stopped in front of Shen Yanshan and answered coldly, then looked at Xiao Lei beside him and said, "Show him out."
Xiao Lei quickly stepped forward, took the suitcase from Shen Yanshan's hand, and said calmly, "Please, Mr. Shen."
"What are you doing?" Shen Meiyan rushed forward, pried Xiao Lei's hand off, pointed at his face, and yelled, "Let go of my hand! Do you know who my father is? How dare you lay a hand on me?!"
Then he turned to Wei Qiao and said viciously, "And you! You're just a gatekeeper 'dog,' what right do you have to tell people to leave?! Bring Shen Zhi Qiu out here!"
"Miss Shen, please keep your voice down and don't make a scene here." Wei Qiao's face turned cold, and he glanced worriedly upstairs. Shen Zhi Qiu was probably still resting, and he didn't want anyone to disturb her sweet dreams.
"Hmph," Shen Meiyan snorted coldly, and walked straight past Wei Qiao toward the gate, looking as if she was about to barge in.
“Miss Chen, please have some self-respect. If you dare to act recklessly here again, you’ll be in big trouble if the police arrest you.” Wei Qiao glanced at her with some disgust, grabbed her arm, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he “kindly” reminded her.
"Oh, so you're trying to blackmail me?" Shen Meiyan sneered, forcefully pulling her arm back, tidying her messy hair, and said with some disdain, "Tell me, what law have I broken that the police want to arrest me?"
"Miss Shen, don't you know you're trespassing?" Xiao Lei, who was standing to the side, shouted at Shen Meiyan, clearly disapproving.
"Trespassing?" Shen Meiyan shouted loudly, "My sister lives here, I'm her closest family member, so naturally this is my home too, and I can come and go as I please! But you lot, none of you have any sense of propriety! When Shen Zhi Qiu comes out later, I'll have her fire you all! You're all an eyesore!"
“Miss Shen, if you make any more noise, I’ll have you thrown out immediately. You won’t be able to get close to me for at least a few kilometers.” Wei Qiao stepped forward, glanced down at her, and threatened.
"What are you saying?!" Seeing his daughter being bullied, Shen Yanshan immediately stepped forward, blocking Shen Meiyan behind him, and said loudly, "Bring Shen Zhi Qiu out. Since I know her, I must know that I am her father! I came all the way from Nancheng to see her!" Shen Yanshan said, straightening his back.
Suddenly, the door opened, and Shen Zhi Qiu walked out with Lu Jia's help.
"Zhiqiu! Daddy has finally found you! I was so worried about you!" When Shen Yanshan saw her come out, he rushed over and wanted to hug Shen Zhiqiu.
“President Shen,” Lu Jia immediately stepped in front of Shen Zhi Qiu, protecting her behind him, “Zhi Qiu is pregnant, so you need to be careful.”
Shen Yanshan chuckled awkwardly, "Oh dear, I was just too excited. I haven't seen my daughter in so long, I was just worried."
I was too excited and didn't think things through. I'm sorry.
As Shen Yanshan spoke, he took a step back. Seeing that Shen Meiyan was still stunned, he grabbed her and pulled her in front of him, saying with a smile, "Look, your sister was just too worried about you, so we rushed to see you."
Seeing that Shen Meiyan was staring at Shen Zhi Qiu without speaking, Shen Yanshan lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Have you forgotten why you came here?"
Shen Meiyan then raised her head, her expression now filled with worry, and said to Shen Zhiqiu, "Sister, I was so worried about you. I'm so glad to see you now." As she spoke, she took a step forward and tried to take Shen Zhiqiu's hand, which was hanging by her side, appearing to be very concerned about her.
"Don't touch me." Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at her coldly and said in a low voice, "You don't need to pretend to be my sister here. I can't stand it."
"Zhiqiu, what are you thinking about? Your father and I just wanted to bring you some tonics," Shen Meiyan said with an awkward smile.
"How did you know I was here?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked bluntly, not bothering to beat around the bush with them.
"We were just worried about you, so we asked around everywhere to find out." Shen Meiyan lied.
"Really?" Just as Shen Zhi Qiu was about to expose her true colors, she heard Shen Yan Shan's somewhat annoyed voice: "You still have the nerve to talk? You didn't tell Dad the truth when Dad texted you! Dad only found out you changed your number and didn't even tell the family when Dad called you?!"
Tell me, how worried Dad was about you!
Shen Yanshan didn't want to tell the truth, so he took the initiative and threw the question to Shen Zhiqi.
"Dad, don't you feel guilty saying that? From childhood to adulthood, when have you ever cared about me?" Shen Zhi Qiu's lips curled into a mocking smile as she looked at him with amusement.
"You child, are you still sulking with your father?!" With so many people present, Shen Yanshan felt a little embarrassed, but remembering his purpose, he changed the subject. "Look, these are supplements that your father and sister specially prepared for you. You're about to give birth, so you must take good care of yourself!" As he spoke, he pulled over the box next to him.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at the box and couldn't help but frown. "Wei Qiao, check the box they brought."
"What are you doing?" Shen Yanshan asked, puzzled but also annoyed that Shen Zhi Qiu was disrespecting him. "The box was brought by your sister and me. What do you want to check?"
“I’m afraid Shen Meiyan will poison me.” Shen Zhi Qiu sneered. “If we really find something poisonous, we can have Wei Qiao take her to the police station.”
