"Brother Jiamu! Why do you keep spoiling my mood today?" The girl pouted and acted coquettishly, seemingly unaware of the other's displeasure.
Yu Jiamu raised his head, the light in his eyes chillingly cold.
He stared directly at her, and although they were far apart, she instantly felt his dark, bone-chilling coldness.
Seeing this, Yu's father lightly tapped the table to remind him.
A smile appeared on Yu Jiamu's lips. He tilted his head back, and his tone suddenly relaxed.
"Lingzhen is busy with the school performance. If Xiao'an wants to play, I'll play with you, okay?"
...
The meal was a lively affair, with sparks flying everywhere.
Afterwards, Chen Houwen still had things to discuss with Yu's father, so he let the three of them go back first.
Before they could take two steps, that scoundrel Chen Xinji had disappeared again.
So only Lin Zhenzhen and Chen Tiantian remained at the scene.
Chen Tiantian quickened her pace to catch up with Lin Zhenzhen, then cornered her against the wall: "How far have things progressed between you and Brother Jiamu?"
Which step? Lin Zhenzhen thought for a moment before realizing with a start that she hadn't even kissed Yu Jiamu's lips yet!
This progress is a bit slow.
Needs improvement!
Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes in thought, but Chen Tiantian misunderstood her expression and interpreted it as something else entirely.
"Don't expect Brother Jiamu to help you. You're such a jinx. Because of you, he's definitely going to get scolded by Uncle Yu again today."
Lin Zhenzhen could only look up at her.
"Don't pretend to be innocent in front of me, I don't fall for that!"
Lin Zhenzhen: ...Then what should I do? Can you close your eyes?
"You stole my dad, you stole my brother, you stole my room, and now you want to steal my brother Jiamu too!"
Chen Tiantian listed Lin Zhenzhen's crimes one by one: "You bitch, are you not satisfied until you take everything from me!"
She became more and more agitated as she spoke, even raising her right hand just as her palm was about to fall.
A charming female voice sounded from behind.
"Sweetie, do you mind if I chime in?"
"Third, Third Sister-in-law..."
Wang Jingrou wore a dark-colored cheongsam, which blended in with the color of the wall covered with ivy behind her.
I don't know how long I stood there, or how much I actually listened to.
She stepped forward and gently draped the shawl she was holding over Lin Zhenzhen's shoulders.
“It’s cold at night. I thought you’d catch a cold if the wind blew on your small frame, so I thought I’d bring you some clothes.”
Lin Zhenzhen turned her head slightly and smelled a delightful fragrance.
She wrinkled her nose, and her eyebrows and eyes instantly relaxed, like a kitten.
Wang Jingrou liked her more and more as she looked at her, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
"Thanks to you, today's meal was truly delightful."
"If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. Maybe I can help you."
Wang Jingrou left with a charming smile, and Chen Xinji finally arrived late.
The three of them finally boarded the car and returned to the Chen family home.
As soon as Chen Tiantian got back, she rushed upstairs and slammed the door shut with a deafening roar.
A short while later, Lin Zhenzhen saw her throw her clothes in the corridor like trash.
"Who gave you permission to put these dirty clothes in my closet? Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"
"Oh my god!" Chen Xinji exclaimed, clutching his head in despair. "Why is he having another episode?"
Get out?
Hehe, let's wait and see who gets kicked out first.
Lin Zhenzhen ignored her and went up to the third-floor attic on her own.
[Pig, send me the video.]
There was no response.
【pig? 】
The system appeared, twisting and turning.
[Um, there was a tiny mishap; the final video is a bit short and awkward.]
Lin Zhenzhen frowned. How short is it?
[It's basically like the video has been turned into a GIF...]
Lin Zhenzhen received the so-called "video recording," and upon checking its duration, it was only 1.03 seconds long.
Calling this a GIF is a lie, because neither of the two people blinked during that one second; it's more like a still image.
Seeing her serious expression, the system knew it had made a mistake.
[Waaaaah, because it updated automatically, I didn't get to capture more footage. I feel so guilty! Please don't blame me, and please don't request a system change, okay?]
Lin Zhenzhen interrupted it: "Are you sure there's something fishy about Wen Hongying and this man?"
The system, still sobbing, mumbled: "There's definitely something fishy going on! Otherwise, why would she get off the bus early, then take another taxi to see him? Wasn't it just to cover her tracks?"
Lin Zhenzhen didn't say anything more. The man in the "photo" was wearing a hat and black sunglasses, and the lower half of his face was covered by an advertising board. He had no obvious features, and you couldn't even tell his age.
This is yet another completely useless piece of information.
[Waaaaaah.]
Okay, that's all!
The crying stopped abruptly.
Lin Zhenzhen lay on the bed, gazing at the beautiful starry sky reflected in the glass window above her head, lost in thought.
Suddenly, she heard the roar of a car engine outside the window. She got up and saw that Chen Houwen had returned.
Lin Zhenzhen watched him storm through the Chen family garden and into the gate.
Soon, Chen Tiantian's cries echoed throughout the house, mixed with the sounds of things falling and breaking.
Putting the mission aside, Lin Zhenzhen actually felt quite sorry for Chen Tiantian.
Her father was a scumbag, her mother was an ambitious woman, and both her parents were extremely selfish. She seemed to have a glamorous life, but in reality, she was just a bargaining chip in their game.
