Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Was the relationship between Shen Mu and Shen Jing good?

If she wanted to deal with Shen Mu, she would definitely become Shen Jing’s enemy.

However, if Shen Jing and Shen Mu didn’t have a harmonious relationship, then Shen Jing could become a helper she could rope in.

Pei Xin felt a little uncertain.

Ling Jin realized that Pei Xin wasn’t as happy as he had imagined. He couldn’t help but ask, What’s wrong? Is there something on your mind?”

Pei Xin shook her head and said to Ling Jin, “I heard that Shen Jing has an older brother, Shen Mu. Did you come into contact with him? What are they like when talking to each other?”

“I haven’t seen Shen Mu before,” Ling Jin shook his head apologetically. “Shen Jing lives alone. She occasionally goes back to her parent’s place, but she looks unhappy every time she returns. Her brother didn’t come to look for her either. 1 guess that they aren’t really on good terms. Why? Is there something wrong?” Ling Jin asked again. “Or is there something wrong with Shen Mu?” Thinking of a certain possibility, Ling Jin’s gaze turned dark. “Has Shen Mu bullied you before?”

“No!” Pei Xin quickly said. “Shen Mu never bullied me. 1 never really talked to him.”

Pei Xin made up a random excuse. “I met someone in Haicheng who helped me in prison. She told me that Shen Mu is a sc*mbag. Shen Mu once pursued her, but he deliberately hid the fact that he had a fiance, forcing her to be a mistress. Because of her relationship with Shen Mu, she was rejected by her family and bullied by everyone in school. After finishing university, she had no choice but to return to her hometown and can only do insignificant jobs.”

Ling Jin was also indignant. “That’s terrible! We should stay away from him in the future.” As he spoke, Ling Jin was a little confused. “Shen Jing… She’s a good person… Even though she has a bad temper. She’s quite principled. After working with her for the past few days, I am convinced that she’s a very strong woman.”

“Although they are siblings, they are different in terms of that. 1 also hope that you can help me investigate the relationship between Shen Mu and Shen Jing.” Pei Xin said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll try and gather information for you,” Ling Jin agreed.

“Alright. Thanks.” Pei Xin said.

Pei Xin didn’t want her brother to worry, so she asked about other things to divert his attention.

The two of them chatted for an hour and a half before ending the call.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Xin took a shower and fell asleep.

On the other hand, Lu Li was forced to return to the capital.

As soon as he returned to the capital, he wanted to go to Haicheng again. However, he found out that Ling Xue’s health had suddenly deteriorated. It was inappropriate for him to go to Haicheng right now, so he rushed to Ling Xue’s place to take care of her.

Ling Xue looked at Lu Li, who was cutting fruits for her. She pretended to be weak and said, “I’m sorry that you had to come all the way here to take care of me so late at night. Our family has a big project to start so everyone is busy. My body hasn’t recovered, and they can’t be by my side every day. The only person 1 thought of was you.”

Lu Li put the fruit aside and gently patted Ling Xue’s head.

Lu Li’s heart softened when he saw Ling Xue’s gaze.

“What are you talking about? You are my wife, and taking care of you is what I should do. The two of us will only have each other for the rest of our lives.”

A blissful smile appeared on Ling Xue’s face.

“I… I heard that you went to Haicheng. Did you manage to find her?” she suddenly asked. “It’s all because of me that she left, right?” Ling Xue pretended to look guilty. “She doesn’t want to give me her kidney and doesn’t want to see me live happily with you, so she left her son and brother and left the capital..”
