Chapter 262 Another Visit to the Shen Family

Shi Xiaxia's eyes darted around, trying to persuade Zhu Chen to give up on her: "My skills are not yet proficient, and I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might ruin your important plans..."

"If that's what you're saying, then I guess I'll have no choice but to send you on your way," Zhu Chen said casually.

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

"Hahaha......"

Seeing that Shi Xiaxia was no longer speaking, Zhu Chen chuckled a few times: "I was just teasing you, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

If she could, Shi Xiaxia really wanted to roll her eyes at Zhu Chen right now.

"okay,"

Zhu Chen patted his clothes, stood up and said, "I have something to take care of here. Pack your things and come with me."

Shi Xiaxia stood still, not quite understanding what Zhu Chen meant.

"You're not going to cause trouble for yourself, are you?" Zhu Chen said to Shi Xiaxia with a smile when he saw that she didn't move.

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

"I know!" Shi Xiaxia said through gritted teeth.

After she finished speaking, she left the room without looking at Luo Rong, who was still angry outside, and went straight back to her place.

When she finished packing and went downstairs, Luo Rong and the four protectors were no longer there.

"Let's go." Zhu Chen glanced at Shi Xiaxia and then walked out of the villa.

With her backpack on, Shi Xiaxia had no choice but to follow behind him.

When they arrived outside the villa, a car was already waiting there.

"Get in the car." Zhu Chen opened the car door, watched Shi Xiaxia get in, and then got in himself.

He then told the driver, "Go to Mujiang City."

"Yes," the driver replied, and started the car.

When Shi Xiaxia heard about Mujiang City, her eyes flickered, but she didn't show any other reaction for fear that Zhu Chen would notice something was wrong.

Zhu Chen didn't seem to explain his plans to go to Mujiang City, and closed his eyes to rest as soon as he got in the car.

......

She traveled by car the entire way, and by the time she arrived in Mujiang City, Shi Xiaxia felt like her body no longer belonged to her.

She felt a little better after getting out of the car and stretching her muscles.

"Let's go." Zhu Chen glanced at Shi Xiaxia and walked forward.

Shi Xiaxia looked up and realized that this was a villa area in Mujiang City, which she had never been here before.

Shi Xiaxia resigned herself to her fate and followed, while wondering why Zhu Chen had come here.

Is he going to attack the people here?!

Shi Xiaxia's mind stirred slightly. If he really dared to attack the people here, then she would have no choice but to fight Zhu Chen to the death!

Thinking this, her hand had already quietly reached for the bronze sword inside her backpack.

After entering the villa area, Zhu Chen walked eastward, glancing at the signs on the villas as he went.

Zhu Chen didn't stop until he arrived at a villa marked with the number 11.

He then stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from the panel in front of the villa after the doorbell rang for a while.

When Shi Xiaxia heard that familiar voice, she froze on the spot.

Shen Yi?!

She lives here now...

Wait, what is Zhu Chen doing here looking for Shen Yi?!

"Mrs. Shen,"

Zhu Chen said in a gentle voice, "I was invited by Mr. Shen."

"You must be Master Zhu?"

Upon learning who the visitor was, Shen Yi immediately opened the door and said, "I was unaware that Master Zhu was visiting today. Please wait a moment, Master Zhu."

After Shen Yi finished speaking, the door opened completely, and Zhu Chen slowly walked inside.

Shi Xiaxia lowered her head and followed behind Zhu Chen.

She found herself increasingly unable to understand Zhu Chen...

What exactly does he want to do?!

As soon as the two arrived at the villa's door, the door was opened from the inside.

Still wearing her long coat, Shen Yi touched her hair and politely said to Zhu Chen, "I didn't know Master Zhu was coming today, please forgive me."

"It's alright." Zhu Chen simply nodded to Shen Yi and walked inside on his own, showing no hesitation whatsoever.

"Hello, Mrs. Shen." Shi Xiaxia nodded to Shen Yi and then followed behind Zhu Chen.

"Is Mr. Shen not home?" Zhu Chen looked around but did not see anyone else besides Shen Yi.

"I've already informed them,"

Shen Yi busied herself pouring water for the two of them, saying, "He'll be back soon."

"Then I'll wait here for a while."

Zhu Chen sat down on the sofa with an air of nonchalance, took a sip of hot tea, and sighed comfortably.

Sitting in the car for more than ten hours without drinking a drop of water was bound to be uncomfortable.

"Madam Shen, is there anything to eat?" Zhu Chen didn't treat himself like a guest at all.

"Yes, yes!" Shen Yi rushed to the kitchen when she heard that Zhu Chen wanted to eat something, and then brought out some desserts and snacks.

"Everyone says the Shen family is finished,"

Zhu Chen chuckled as he looked at the various pastries on the table and said, "I think they're doing pretty well."

Shen Yi understood the implication Zhu Chen was making, her face stiffened, and she was speechless.

Zhu Chen seemed oblivious to the change in Shen Yi's expression, and simply continued eating happily by himself.

After he had eaten most of his food, he clapped his hands, took a sip of hot tea, and that was the end of it.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Zhu Chen stood up, walked up to Shen Yi, and asked with a smile, "Have you ever regretted it?"

"I regretted it..." Shen Yi's eyes reddened.

Shi Xiaxia looked at them, not understanding for a moment what kind of riddle they were speaking of.

"But I don't think that's what I truly believe!"

Shen Yi tried to explain, "I just can't control myself. Whenever Qingqing is sad or calls for my mom, I forget everything..."

Ok?

Shi Xiaxia glanced over furtively; it sounded like it had something to do with her.

"How could it not be your true feeling?"

Zhu Chen scoffed: "Even without that thing, aren't you still biased towards Shen Qingqing?"

Now that Shen Qingqing has run away and Shi Xiaxia disowns you, you claim you were controlled and framed? Who's going to believe that?!

Shen Yi covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't utter a single word of explanation.

Because she knew that what Zhu Chen said was true.

When she first learned that Shen Qingqing had been switched at birth and that Shi Xiaxia was her biological daughter, she considered not acknowledging Shi Xiaxia.

She didn't want her happy family to be destroyed, and she didn't want to see Shen Qingqing looking unhappy.

At that time, she never thought about what kind of life Shi Xiaxia was living.

Shi Xiaxia, who was eating, stopped eating when she heard Shen Yi and Zhu Chen's conversation and stared at the two of them.

"This is none of your business." Zhu Chen noticed Shi Xiaxia's gaze and waved at her.

Shi Xiaxia: "......"

The main character you're talking about is right here! How come I'm not involved?!

However, now was not the time to reveal her identity, so Shi Xiaxia could only reluctantly turn her head away and continue eating the remaining pastries on the table.
