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

Zhou Liwan laughed in exasperation, inwardly cursing herself for her earlier unnecessary actions: "Think what you want."

After saying that, she turned to leave, but how could Zhou Qingya let her go so easily?

Ignoring her form-fitting skirt, she rushed towards Zhou Liwan, taking three steps at a time. Just as she was about to grab the other woman's hair, her wrist, heavily coated with foundation, was seized.

"Did you bring your brain with you when you went out?" Jiang Shiyue's tone was full of sarcasm.

Seeing that someone was always protecting Zhou Liwan, Zhou Qingya felt her anger was about to completely engulf her.

"Sister, you're really charming. There's always a knight in shining armor to come and save you from trouble." Zhou Qingya's face was full of malice. She didn't believe that after saying such things, the people around her would still think highly of Zhou Liwan.

What makes a vixen, skilled at seducing men, capable of winning everyone's love and affection?

Jiang Shiyue smiled, staring seriously at Zhou Qingya, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke: "I think you've misunderstood. It's my mission as a people's police officer to protect ordinary people."

Zhou Qingya tried to break free a few more times, but the other party showed no sign of backing down. She cried out aggrievedly, "I'm just an ordinary citizen! She framed me and made me be seen naked in public. Shouldn't you, as a police officer, arrest her?"

Jiang Shiyue also felt that the feel of the fabric in his hand was really unpleasant. He shrugged and said lazily.

"This is the Wan family's residence. How did that young lady know you would come here to change clothes? And how did she know this room has one-way glass? Anyone with a brain knows that. On the contrary, you are making such slanders without any verification. They could sue you!"

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument with the man, Zhou Qingya stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.

Once the show is over, there's no need for the onlookers to stay any longer.

Zhou Liwan turned to leave.

"You really are heartless. I've helped you so much, and you don't even say thank you?" Jiang Shiyue teased.

Zhou Liwan stopped with a dark expression, turned around quickly, and blurted out a few words: "Thank you."

After saying that, the person left without any hesitation.

Zhou Liwan knew that she was able to get rid of Zhou Qingya's big trouble so smoothly this time, and it was all thanks to Jiang Shiyue.

But thinking about his attitude towards me at the police station that day, I felt inexplicably angry, so naturally I didn't give him a friendly look.

Jiang Shiyue remained where he was, watching Zhou Liwan venture deeper and deeper into the tropical forest, his smile utterly wicked.

Zhou Liwan walked forward with her head down, completely unaware of where she was.

It wasn't until a secret conversation that she was suddenly jolted awake.

"What's so great about that Shen Nanzhou? We were just offering him a share of the project in the south of the city, and he didn't even appreciate it! Bah, what a piece of trash!"

Zhou Liwan instinctively stopped when she heard the names they were talking about, and then found a large leaf to cover herself up completely.

"Oh, why are you angry? He is, after all, the CEO of Jiang's Group, so he has a bit of arrogance about him."

The other person's face was full of disdain, and his tone was full of malice: "What right does he have to be arrogant! He's just a dog adopted by the Jiang family! Do you even know who his biological mother is?"

At this point, the man's voice revealed a blatant mockery.

The other person became excited and urged, "Who? Tell me already, don't keep me in suspense!"

The man looked around to make sure no one was watching before lowering his voice and saying, "It's Gu Qingyin, that popular erotic star from the 80s!"

The person opposite stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Gu Qingyin!

She was a Category III film actress. She was incredibly popular in the 1980s because of her alluring face, curvaceous figure, and supple waist.

In almost every short film she participated in, she was very uninhibited, and her poses were exceptionally provocative.

The words "unrestrained and dissolute" are perfectly fitting to describe her!

At the time, her videos were all the rage in the industry, and it was watching her videos that truly opened my eyes to life.

"Look at Shen Nanzhou's sanctimonious, gentlemanly, and ascetic appearance, his biological mother is actually an adult film actress!"

The man, who had been furious, now wore a smug and triumphant expression: "What a celibate gentleman! I bet he's quite the ladies' man in private! Some things don't need to be taught; they're in your genes!"

After speaking, a meaningful look is given to the other person; those who understand will naturally understand.

After saying that, the two left with greasy smiles.

Only then did Zhou Liwan dare to breathe a sigh of relief, her heart heavy with sorrow.

She knew nothing about these secrets of wealthy families, especially her own.

I was fine before because I didn't know, but now that I've heard so much, I can't calm down. How am I supposed to face my uncle in the future?

The thought of that aloof face made her unconsciously start to make connections.

Frustrated, Zhou Liwan slapped her cheeks hard and straightened up.

Look at where those two people were just now.

It doesn't matter if you don't see it, you will be shocked when you see it.

Who else could be standing right in front of them if not the people those two were talking about?

Shen Nanzhou stood quietly, his gaze calm and unwavering as he looked in his direction.

It was as if he wasn't the one who had just been gossiped about.

Zhou Liwan walked over awkwardly and greeted him unnaturally, "What a coincidence, Uncle, are you taking a walk here too?"

After saying that, Zhou Liwan wished she could bite off her own tongue. What was all that nonsense?!

However, the man didn't seem to care. His gaze only lightly swept over Zhou Liwan without lingering for a moment.

The person simply walked away. Zhou Liwan looked around and obediently followed. Otherwise, she might have to sleep in this tropical botanical garden tonight if she relied on herself.

The two remained silent the entire way. To ease the awkwardness, Zhou Liwan forgot that she had been sulking with him earlier and chatted casually: "Thanks to my uncle today, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to find a way out."

"..."

"By the way, Uncle, when did you return to City A? What brings you to this charity gala? Are you here in place of Grandpa?"

"..."

Zhou Liwan didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, but she would break down if she had to walk back with Shen Nanzhou in such a strange atmosphere.

When the two appeared together, no one found it strange, after all, they were nominally uncle and niece.

The charity gala has officially begun. This event was established for left-behind children in the mountains. All donations raised will be properly allocated by a dedicated organization and donated to children in the mountainous areas.

Zhou Liwan did not have a positive impact on life in the mountainous area, but quite a few children secretly helped her in the past.

So he didn't hesitate to donate money, donating five million directly in his personal capacity.
