Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

Zhou Liwan smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Not bad, Jiang Shiyue, I didn't realize you were so good at dealing with people!"

Jiang Shiyue almost laughed, and reached out to flick Zhou Liwan's forehead: "Can't you speak properly?"

Zhou Liwan glared at him, then had someone take the things from him, and then hurriedly pulled him to the living room: "Grandpa hasn't woken up yet. I'll tell him you came to see him when he wakes up."

Jiang Shiyue didn't care, as long as everyone was alright. He had just sat down when he heard a commotion upstairs.

Jiang Shiyue subconsciously looked up and saw a tall, elegant figure gracefully descending the stairs.

Upon realizing who the other person was, Jiang Shiyue immediately stood up, bowed in that direction, and politely said, "Mr. Shen, I apologize for disturbing you."

Shen Nanzhou's face regained its cold and aloof expression, and he simply smiled faintly.

Shen Nanzhou glanced at him indifferently, his eyes cold and indifferent. He didn't say a word, but he exuded a powerful aura that made the air feel suffocating.

Zhou Liwan sensed that something was off and quickly said, "Uncle, this is Jiang Shiyue, the captain of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade, and also the eldest son of the Jiang family."

She turned slightly to look at Jiang Shiyue: "This is my uncle, Shen Nanzhou."

Shen Nanzhou sat directly in the main seat and nodded to Jiang Shiyue.

After Jiang Shiyue sat down, out of professional habit, he subtly observed Shen Nanzhou, drawing upon his years of experience as a policeman and his keen insight.

Jiang Shiyue clearly sensed that Shen Nanzhou was hostile towards him.

Although he didn't know why, Jiang Shiyue became cautious, because he was, after all, Xiaowan's uncle.

"Mr. Jiang, it's kind of you to take care of your subordinates' elders even though you're so busy at the police station. But I'm really sorry, we're all quite tired from taking care of the elderly, so we can't entertain you any longer."

Zhou Liwan realized that this was a way of telling people to leave, and Jiang Shiyue realized it too.

He stood up abruptly: "In that case, I'll visit another day. Sorry to bother you."

Zhou Liwan felt a little ashamed, after all, she had come to see her grandfather. She glanced at Shen Nanzhou with dissatisfaction and quickly said, "Since you're here, stay a little longer. I'll take you to my room."

Jiang Shiyue smiled slightly, about to refuse, when Shen Nanzhou scolded, "Nonsense! How can a girl like you let men come and go as they please!"

Jiang Shiyue looked at Shen Nanzhou, who was sitting upright, exuding a strong aura of nobility. The way he looked at the two of them was definitely not polite.

Thinking back, Zhou Liwan never said that anyone in the old house treated her badly; on the contrary, she took the initiative to move back. Shen Nanzhou was probably just afraid that his niece would be deceived by him.

That's why he's somewhat hostile towards himself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyue looked at Zhou Liwan reassuringly, indicating with his eyes that he was alright: "Then I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."

After saying this, he left the Jiang family's old house, led by a servant.

Once everyone had completely disappeared from sight, Zhou Liwan turned around and said accusingly, "Uncle, what are you doing! They came to see Grandpa out of kindness, why did you chase them away!"

Shen Nanzhou's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He stood up and said coldly, "What? Feeling sorry for her? You've only been at the police station for a short time, and you've already taken a liking to her?"

Zhou Liwan was so angry she could barely speak: "Uncle, what are you talking about! Nanzhou is that tiger-toothed brother who used to be with me in Gouba Village when we were kids. If it weren't for him, I might have died there a long time ago!"

Shen Nanzhou sneered, took a few more steps forward, and said in a voice that seemed to drip ice: "What, childhood sweethearts meeting again, so this is sparking something different?"

Zhou Liwan was too lazy to say anything more to him, her eyes showing her grievance.

That bastard! Doesn't he even think about who took care of him when he was drunk? Looking at the bite mark he made on his lip, Zhou Liwan got angrier and angrier.

He snorted coldly and went back to his room, leaving Shen Nanzhou standing there alone.

He extended his slender fingers, slowly covered the corner of his lips, and then slowly turned his head to look at the place where Jiang Shiyue had left.

As Jiang Shiyue sat in the car, he recalled that the corner of Zhou Liwan's uncle's mouth seemed a little off.

And his attitude towards Zhou Liwan, the more he thought about it after leaving, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Ding--"

Jiang Shiyue's thoughts were interrupted. He took out his phone and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Liwan.

"I hope Captain Jiang isn't angry. My uncle must be on fire these past few days. He's usually a very nice person."

Jiang Shiyue smiled and replied, "Are you trying to comfort me, or are you speaking up for your uncle?"

"Of course I'm here to comfort you!"

Jiang Shiyue: "I can't tell!"

Zhou Liwan: "How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

"It's a deal. You set the time, and I'll let you know!" After replying, Jiang Shiyue immediately turned off his phone.

My gaze towards the window softened considerably.

Jiang Hongshan woke up soon after, and the doctor said there was nothing seriously wrong, which put Zhou Liwan at ease.

He immediately ran to the police station, since it was still early.

After sending a message to Jiang Shiyue, Zhou Liwan left in a hurry.

Shen Nanzhou, holding a cigarette, stood on the balcony watching the departing figures, his eyes filled with a gloomy expression.

Jiang Shiyue...

When Zhou Li got out of the car, she saw that there were quite a few nice cars parked at the entrance, which was quite rare.

It seems that no one in the police station besides myself and Jiang Shiyue has the means to buy a luxury car of this caliber.

Zhou Liwan curiously strolled slowly to the office.

Before anyone even entered, Zhou Qingya's loud voice could be heard: "What Zhou Liwan can do, I can do too! These are some snacks I bought for everyone, please don't be shy!"

The Bai family scoffed, followed by a disdainful and contemptuous voice: "What's the comparison between you and Sister Wanwan! Can you stop making this a joke? She's the embodiment of truth, goodness, and beauty, what are you anyway!"

Zhou Qingya seemed extremely unconvinced, and Zhou Liwan also became somewhat interested. She raised an eyebrow but didn't go in. Instead, she leaned against the wall by the door and listened quietly.

“You treat her like a best friend, but she may not treat you like a friend. Has she ever told you that I am her biological sister? Did you know that she was kidnapped by human traffickers when she was a child and spent ten years in a mountain village? That was the time when her values ​​were being formed. How could she have any good values ​​in that remote mountain village? And yet you still think so highly of her!”

After Zhou Qingya finished speaking, the surroundings indeed fell silent. Everyone seemed quite shocked, and even Jiang Shiyue did not stop her anymore.

Now Zhou Qingya was even more smug. She crossed her arms and looked around: "Someone like her has seen countless filthy things. I just hate that she lives in the mud but pretends to be kind and good everywhere!"

"Enough, shut up!" Hu Xi couldn't take it anymore and interrupted impatiently, "Didn't you say you're her biological sister? Someone who badmouths their own sister behind her back can't be a good person, so why should we believe what you say!"

Zhou Liwan stepped forward and said, "What she said is true. I was indeed trafficked by human traffickers for ten years! She is indeed my younger sister."

Everyone present looked at Zhou Liwan, who had suddenly appeared. Wasn't she supposed to be off today?

how come!
