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

Meanwhile, Shen Xiushu returned close to 11 p.m.

He hadn't been back to the Shen residence much these past few days, partly because he was looking for news of Jiang Xiyu, and partly because he didn't want Shen's mother to nag him about going back to his old ways with He Fuyue.

This kind of avoidance hurts the woman, and naturally, Shen's mother is also unhappy.

She knew her son well, and from Shen Xiushu's state, she vaguely guessed that he might have developed real feelings for that young man. But now that the young man was with Shen Jingtan and had even been brought back to the Shen family, Shen's mother didn't want her son to have any more thoughts. So, taking advantage of the opportunity when Shen Jingtan brought the young man back, she called Shen Xiushu.

She hoped her son would give up, so she inadvertently revealed this on the phone.

Upon receiving the news, Shen Xiushu returned to the Shen family almost immediately.

When he went in, he originally wanted to go straight upstairs to find Shen Jingtan, but he was stopped by Shen's mother who was sitting in the living room waiting for him.

Seeing his travel-worn appearance, Shen's mother was furious.

She really didn't know what kind of spell that young man had cast on her son and Shen Jingtan, that they had both been bewitched like this.

She lectured Shen Xiushu a few times, but Shen Xiushu's mind was not on her at all, and for the first time, he showed impatience with what his mother said.

Mrs. Shen saw through it. She stared coldly at her son and said, "No matter what, now that your uncle has brought him back, it proves that he is no longer on your side. I don't care what happened between you two in the past, but from now on, as long as I am in this family, I will not allow you to have anything to do with him again."

"Don't forget, the reason my son and I are able to stay here, and the reason you are where you are today, is because of your uncle. Don't ruin the harmony of your family for someone unrelated, and don't lose your sense of propriety towards your elders."

"Otherwise, you'll make me too ashamed to stay in this house."

The implication in Shen's mother's words was quite clear: it was both persuasion and a threat and command to Shen Xiushu.

Shen Xiushu looked up at his mother, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

Shen's mother was right; without Shen Jingtan, they wouldn't exist.

Originally, the Shen family had two children: Shen Xiushu's father was a businessman, and Shen Jingtan was a politician. After Shen Xiushu's father was in a car accident, they were left as orphans and widows. It was Shen Jingtan who gave up her promising official career and returned to Hengyue to take charge of the overall situation.

Over the years, Shen Jingtan's guidance of Shen Xiushu has even surpassed that of his father.

Shen's mother has always been grateful to Shen Jingtan, and she would never allow her son to cause a scandal by competing with her brother-in-law for someone else. Moreover, she would never accept her son being with another man; she would never accept it.

Shen Xiushu understood this, of course.

He looked at Shen's mother, whose eyes were red with anger and whose attitude was domineering, and held back his anger for a long time, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Seeing the struggle in his eyes and how haggard he looked after just a few days, Shen's mother still forced herself to soften and admonished him: "He's someone your uncle brought back. No matter what your relationship was before, it's over now, understand?"

“Good child, you are all I have left. If your father knew that I raised you like this, I would never be able to face him again.”

Shen Xiushu had heard this explanation countless times.

He watched Shen's mother remain silent for a long time before walking past her and going upstairs.

This time, Shen's mother did not stop him. She watched Shen Xiushu's back, her fingernails seemingly digging into her palms.

Some things, even if you tell them a thousand times, are not as effective as letting someone experience them firsthand to give up.

Study room on the second floor.

Shen Xiushu arrived almost impatiently.

But as he got closer, he stopped again, his expression indescribably complicated.

Jiang Xiyu is inside.

He hadn't seen Jiang Xiyu since what happened in the rain last time.

During this time, he did send people to investigate Jiang Xiyu's whereabouts, but almost all of them came to nothing. The fact that he could erase a person's traces like this, coupled with what Shen Jingtan said to him when she returned to the Shen residence last time, made Shen Xiushu realize that Jiang Xiyu was now following him.

After all, Shen Jingtan wouldn't intervene and resolve this turmoil without a reason.

Shen Xiushu was both angry and jealous about this.

But anger and jealousy had already ruined a meeting with the young man, which could even be described as a complete break.

Shen Xiushu never understood it.

Doesn't Jiang Xiyu like him?

How could someone bear to hit him, and then so easily throw themselves into someone else's arms, especially someone who is his uncle...?

For some time now, Shen Xiushu had been asking this question repeatedly. In the end, he even began to doubt whether the young man's feelings for him were actually that strong.

This suspicion made him afraid to think about it any further, so he could only numb himself with work. He couldn't rest for a moment, because once his brain received the signal to rest, Jiang Xiyu's face would appear tirelessly.

Gradually, Shen Xiushu began to panic in this state, and even regretted not coming.

The feeling was so unfamiliar. By the time he realized it, Jiang Xiyu had already taken root in his heart.

It slowly seeped into the depths of Shen Xiushu's heart, and before he could even understand what that feeling was, it suddenly withdrew, leaving behind heart-wrenching pain.

So he kept recalling every moment he and Jiang Xiyu fought in the rainy night, only to find that the pain in his heart at every moment was telling him that Jiang Xiyu would not come back.

How could he not come back?

He used to wait patiently for him to come home every day, and he would prepare dinner for him every day.

But now, the thought that these things would belong to someone else, and the thought that the young man was also so considerate and waiting for him by his uncle's side, filled Shen Xiushu with overwhelming jealousy that he could no longer suppress.

He reached out and touched the door of the study, wanting to push it open to see her, but also afraid of catching Jiang Xiyu with another man.

In the end, he pushed open the door to the study.

Jiang Xiyu was nowhere to be seen in the study.

There was no one there; they were gone.

Shen Xiushu thought he had missed it, staring blankly at the empty space, feeling an indescribable disappointment and suffocation.

At this moment, the emotions that had been building up inside him collapsed, and Shen Xiushu suddenly realized how much he wanted to see Jiang Xiyu.

He was just about to ask someone about Jiang Xiyu's whereabouts when, as he turned around, he unexpectedly heard a low chuckle, followed by a man's seemingly helpless soft exclamation: "Goodness..."

The voice came from the study in the inner room, and its tone contained an indescribable sense of pampering and pleasure.

The person is inside!

Jiang Xiyu and Shen Jingtan are inside!

Shen Xiushu thought through gritted teeth, his pupils widening for a moment before he immediately raised his eyes and stared intently at the second door behind the screen.

He walked stiffly over, then raised his hand and pushed the door open forcefully.
