Shen Jianlin’s words made Shen Tianxing’s chest feel tight.
She knew that without evidence at this moment, her family wouldn’t believe anything she said!
Moreover, at this time, Fu Jinyan was still wearing his gentle mask, skillfully deceiving her family!
“Tianxing! Did that bastard Fu Jinyan bully you? Tell your brother, I’ll stand up for you!” Shen Tianhe pressed for answers.
“But marriage is no trivial matter, especially for our Shen family. If you publicly call off the engagement, where will that leave Dad’s dignity?”
“Tianhe!” Shen Jianlin softly rebuked him.
Shen Tianhe immediately realized his words had been too harsh.
“Anyway, please believe me. Everything I said is true!”
“Also, I’ll make sure you see Fu Jinyan’s true colors that day. Just wait and see!”
Shen Tianxing was quite emotional. Afraid of revealing any flaws in front of her family, she quickly stood up and strode out the door.
“Dad… look… this…” Shen Tianhe whispered inquiringly.
“Nothing to see. She’s all grown up now, and don’t you know what your sister is usually like?”
Shen Jianlin looked toward Shen Tianchen nearby.
“Tianchen, investigate who Tianxing has met recently and what’s been happening.”
“Since she wants us to wait, let’s wait and watch the show!”
Shen Tianhe and Shen Tianchen showed little reaction, but Xia He looked deeply worried.
“Husband, could Tianxing be in some kind of trouble?”
“Don’t worry, let her do what she wants. Even if she pokes a hole in the sky, we’ll patch it up for her!”
Shen Tianxing hurried out of the Shen residence and saw Gu Letong waiting for her in a different car.
She quickly opened the door and got in.
“Let’s go to World Trade Center!”
Gu Letong didn’t start the car. After all, the World Trade Center was Xie Linchuan’s territory—the top floor was where he usually worked.
“World Trade Center??? Are you crazy??”
“Gu Letong, are you going or not? If not, I’ll go by myself!”
“Going, going…” Gu Letong was truly worried about Shen Tianxing. She felt there was something odd about her today.
After the car started, Shen Tianxing sent a message to Xie Linchuan from her phone.
Shen Tianxing: [Where are you?]
Xie Linchuan: [Busy!]
Shen Tianxing: [Come out for a bit. I want to talk to you!]
Xie Linchuan: [No time. Very busy!]
Shen Tianxing: [Just a few words! Please.jpg]
…
With just a couple of replies, Xie Linchuan had pushed Tianxing miles away.
Shen Tianxing: That bastard! Is this how you treat your future wife? Aren’t you afraid heaven will strike you with lightning!
Shen Tianxing bit her fingernails as she looked out the window.
She felt somewhat panicked. Could it be that Xie Linchuan didn’t like her at this time?
That shouldn’t be right!
If she remembered correctly, Xie Linchuan had once told her that he had liked her since they were very young!
‘Dingling ling~’ Shen Tianxing’s phone suddenly rang.
The name ‘Fu Jinyan’ on the screen made her gasp sharply.
She composed herself and quickly answered the call.
“Hello~”
“Sweetheart, what are you up to!” Fu Jinyan’s voice was extremely gentle.
Shen Tianxing: Suddenly feeling so disgusted, I want to vomit!
“I’m going shopping with Letong!” Shen Tianxing replied casually.”Okay, then cheer up! By the way, my dad said we should get our marriage certificate right after our engagement the day after tomorrow, and also set the wedding date with your parents!”
“Mm, alright.” Shen Tianxing replied indifferently.
“What’s wrong, baby? You seem really unhappy!”
Shen Tianxing: For a scoundrel who’s scheming to harm me, I’m being polite by not cursing you out!
“I’m fine. You can decide these small matters.” Shen Tianxing hung up after speaking.
Gu Letong, who was driving, glanced at the distracted Shen Tianxing and asked loudly:
“Was that Fu Jinyan on the phone?”
“Mm.”
“Why didn’t you talk longer?”
“Nothing to talk about!”
“Shen Tianxing, have you been possessed by something unclean? Normally your calls with Fu Jinyan last at least half an hour! Why did you hang up so quickly today?”
Shen Tianxing turned to look at Gu Letong.
That inexplicable feeling lingered in her heart!
“I just don’t find him appealing anymore, don’t like him anymore, and don’t want to marry him either!”
Screech~ Gu Letong slammed on the brakes and pulled over immediately.
“Shen Tianxing, are you serious? Did you find out about him and your cousin?”
Shen Tianxing: Oh, so you knew all along!
“Do you have proof?” Shen Tianxing asked quickly.
“No, I only heard about it. But I’ve told you before that Fu Jinyan is no good – you were just the only one enthusiastic about this relationship!”
Shen Tianxing: If I told you that in the future Fu Jinyan will assault you, would you go kill him right now?
Seeing Shen Tianxing remain silent, Gu Letong quickly explained:
“Look, just pretend I never said anything. Don’t let it affect your mood. You’re about to get engaged – since he’s someone you like and chose yourself, being happy is what matters most!”
Shen Tianxing looked at Gu Letong and sighed meaningfully.
“I’m not going to marry him. Just wait and watch the show!”
“And also…”
Shen Tianxing stopped mid-sentence.
She really wanted to say ‘And it’s so good that you’re still alive!’
But she couldn’t say it!
“What else?” Gu Letong pressed.
“Also, Miss Gu, could you please drive faster? I have things to do!”
She checked her phone again – Xie Linchuan still hadn’t replied to her message.
Shen Tianxing: That bastard, did a dog eat your conscience? Doesn’t it hurt at all?
Ding~!
A message arrived on her phone. She thought it was from Xie Linchuan, but it was from Fu Jinyan.
Fu Jinyan: [I’ve been busy preparing for the engagement banquet these past two days and neglected you. Don’t be angry – I’ll make it up to you properly after we’re engaged!]
Shen Tianxing: [Okay!]
For now, she didn’t want to confront Fu Jinyan too directly, since she hadn’t caught him red-handed yet!
Thinking of Fu Jinyan’s secrets immediately made her think of her hypocritical cousin Xia Airou.
By now, she’d probably already climbed into Fu Jinyan’s bed!
If she wasn’t mistaken, Fu Jinyan was likely lying about being busy with the engagement preparations – he was probably entangled with that delicate cousin of hers!
It seemed she really did need Xie Linchuan’s help!
But that bastard was ignoring her – what should she do?
As she pondered, she suddenly remembered the black gold card Xie Linchuan had given her that morning.
‘Hehe~’
She suddenly giggled to herself.”What’s wrong with you? You keep spacing out and then smiling!” Gu Letong asked curiously.
“Don’t ask, just drive faster! I’m going to take you on a proper shopping spree. All expenses today are on the big sucker!”
The car soon pulled into the World Trade Center parking lot, and Shen Tianxing immediately dragged Gu Letong rushing into the mall, beginning their joyful shopping experience.
Indeed, when you’re not spending your own money, everything feels wonderful. She casually bought bags worth millions without batting an eye.
About an hour later, Shen Tianxing’s phone suddenly rang!
Seeing the name displayed on the screen, her smile stretched from ear to ear!
