Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

The night before, when faced with Shen Xiushu's suspicions, Jiang Xiyu explained it by saying he was face-blind. Of course, he didn't think Shen Xiushu would completely believe him. As for how he would investigate, that was his business, and Jiang Xiyu wasn't worried.

On the contrary, if Shen Xiushu continues to investigate, it will only further confirm Jiang Xiyu's guess.

Because, in terms of their relationship, he was nothing more than an insignificant lover, and the more Shen Xiushu cared about this matter, the more bargaining chips Jiang Xiyu would have.

Last night, he deliberately asked to touch Shen Xiushu's face, just to create a false impression of intimacy. However, he did not expect that Shen Xiushu would not refuse him.

Although Jiang Xiyu's original intention was not to focus on Shen Xiushu, upon further reflection, the final result should not be too unsatisfactory.

At least, Shen Xiushu made up for it by breaking his promise.

Jiang Xiyu wasn't a sentimental person. After getting what he wanted, he took the initiative to call Shen Xiushu to thank him. Since he would be quite busy after joining the crew, and Shen Xiushu was the kind of person who didn't care about himself when he was working, Jiang Xiyu gently reminded him to take care of his health.

At that moment, Shen Xiushu, who was on the phone, was sitting in the car on his way back to the Shen residence.

The young man's voice on the phone was gentle. Shen Xiushu listened, and the corner of his lips twitched imperceptibly for a moment. Then, seeing that the car was almost at the Shen residence, he frowned and hung up the phone.

Shen's mother called him home early in the morning, saying she had something to discuss with him.

When Shen Xiushu arrived, it was just breakfast time.

The man sitting in the main seat had a cold expression, but Shen's mother, sitting next to him, had a smile on her face, as if she was particularly satisfied with something and wanted to ask Shen Jingtan for her opinion.

Shen Jingtan didn't say much, but let her mother decide for herself.

Mother Shen said that the girl from the He family was exceptionally good, and that she and Shen Xiushu were a perfect match in every way. The Shen family didn't need a marriage alliance, but for two large families to unite, the approval of Shen Jingtan, the head of the family, was naturally required.

Shen Jingtan raised an eyebrow slightly but did not express her opinion.

Upon hearing footsteps, he looked up and calmly gazed at the person approaching, behaving like an elder as always.

Shen Xiushu didn't actually have any particularly strong feelings about this marriage.

For him, it didn't matter who he married, as it was all about pleasing Shen's mother.

But now, hearing with his own ears that Shen's mother was going to arrange a marriage between him and He Fuyue, Shen Xiushu didn't know why, but he subconsciously thought of the tears the young man had shed last night.

His body visibly stiffened for a moment, but after seeing Shen's mother's unusually happy expression, he ultimately remained silent.

If they don't speak up, the engagement party will definitely take place.

And the tears of the young will surely flow.

Shen Jingtan sighed inwardly, unable to tell whether her sigh was mocking or something else.

After Shen's mother left, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell into a subtle, deathly silence.

Shen Xiushu took the initiative to ask Shen Jingtan for her opinion on the marriage.

Shen Jingtan's face showed no emotion whatsoever, and her tone was indifferent: "The decision on this matter is yours."

Shen Xiushu knew he wouldn't interfere. He carefully observed the man's every move and found that he was indeed very similar to him in some ways.

Shen Xiushu understood the reason for the resemblance; it was someone he had admired since his youth, and he had been deliberately learning the demeanor of a man since he was old enough to understand.

Many people say they look alike, but it's not his fault that the young man with face blindness can't recognize them.

Perhaps he was overthinking it, after all, his uncle knew about his relationship with Jiang Xiyu.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you last night," Shen Xiushu suddenly said.

Shen Jingtan suddenly frowned and glanced at Shen Xiushu. Her eyes were gentle, but they lacked warmth.

He knew, of course, who the troublemaker Shen Xiushu was referring to was, but Shen Xiushu was saying it now to express his apology on behalf of his lover.

Expressing apologies on behalf of Jiang Xiyu?

Shen Xiushu was indeed capable, because he had that status.

Shen Jingtan remained expressionless for a long while before calmly saying, "It is indeed troublesome."

As soon as the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze.

That calmness concealed an undeniable indifference, and for some reason, Shen Xiushu unexpectedly felt a moment of peace.

After all, his uncle's cold attitude only appeared when faced with something that greatly displeased him; most of the time, his emotions were calm and unflappable.

Therefore, Shen Xiushu naturally interpreted the cold 'trouble' he mentioned as his dislike for young people.

This dislike might stem from the young man offending him due to his face blindness.

Shen Xiushu collected his thoughts before asking calmly, "Uncle, did he offend you last night?"

Shen Jingtan's gaze suddenly fell somewhere.

He had no intention of answering Shen Xiushu's question.

In Shen Xiushu's eyes, this silence was as if the young man had committed an offense.

He sighed and explained why Jiang Xiyu might have offended him: it was probably because he was face-blind and couldn't recognize people.

Shen Jingtan suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

He seemed to see through Shen Xiushu's hidden probing, rubbed his aching forehead, and said in a low voice, "That's enough."

He no longer wanted to hear anything about youth from this person.

Even though Shen Jingtan already knew about those things.

He had lost patience, and his weariness about the relationship between Shen Xiushu and the young man was undisguised.

Even though this weariness was subtle, it appeared on his usually expressionless face, and Shen Xiushu still keenly noticed it.

He quickly went over and handed the man a glass of water.

Shen Jingtan did not accept the apologetic water from Shen Xiushu's hand.

His imposing aura was that of a man who said to Shen Xiu, “Since you are about to get engaged, then you should clean up all the people you need to deal with and the relationships you need to cut off.”

"After the engagement, I don't want to hear anything that would damage the Shen family's reputation."

In the Shen family, Shen Jingtan's words were always law.

He didn't need Shen Xiushu's answer. He stood up, his tone somewhat weary: "If you can't handle this well, I'll take matters into my own hands."

Shen Jingtan had already expressed his attitude towards the marriage alliance, and even gave Shen Xiushu a choice.

And now, he said the same things.

Once you get married, certain relationships must be severed.

At that time, Shen Xiushu felt that it didn't matter whether he got married or not, and he said he could handle it.

just now……

Shen Xiushu's hand suddenly clenched at his side.

He knew his uncle wasn't joking.

However, the thought of breaking his heart felt like something was stabbing him.

Shen Jingtan saw his struggle, and her voice seemed to return to its usual gentleness. She spoke slowly and deliberately, in the caring tone of an elder, as she said the last sentence: "Don't make your mother sad."

This is not a discussion, but a chilling warning.

Shen Xiushu stood there, watching Shen Jingtan walk upstairs. After a long while, his clenched fist suddenly loosened as if all its strength had been released.
