Chapter 61 - 61 61 Brother Cant Get Over It

The next morning.
Lu Jingyan opened her eyes. After shaking off the drowsiness, the first thing she did, as usual, was to grab her phone and text Sheng Xian a good morning. She opened WeChat, clicked on Sheng Xian’s pinned profile, and naturally typed out the message she had sent every day recently: Brother, good morning.
Just as she was about to send it, she paused.
Then she stared at the word “Brother,” her face suddenly feeling hot.
“… Fuck.”
Lu Jingyan clenched her teeth and let out a curse, rapidly exited WeChat and rolled out of bed into the bathroom. After washing up, Lu Jingyan’s mood was pretty much back to normal. She carried her phone downstairs with her usual aloof expression.
Aunt Sun had taken two days off because of her daughter, leaving her alone in the house. Lu Hongcheng wouldn’t arrange for someone to come over just to cook for her. Lu Jingyan grabbed a carton of milk from the fridge for breakfast.
It wasn’t until two in the afternoon that Lu Jingyan clicked back into Sheng Xian’s WeChat.
The four words she’d typed in the morning were still there in the input box.
Who would have thought that she, who sweetly called everyone “brother,” would one day be unable to face the words “brother” directly?
Lu Jingyan sighed and deleted the message she hadn’t sent in the morning. The word “Brother” was too impactful. As she stared at her phone for a long while, she couldn’t think of anything to send to Sheng Xian, and was just about to put her phone down when it suddenly vibrated.
Sheng Xian: “I’ve arranged a meeting with the relevant parties.”
Lu Jingyan didn’t respond right away, quickly typing a question mark and sending it over.
Lu Jingyan: “?”
After sending the message, she realized Sheng Xian was referring to Aunt Sun and her daughter.
Lu Jingyan: “Aunt Sun and her daughter?”
Sheng Xian: “Yes.”
Lu Jingyan: “Oh.”
Normally, their conversation would have ended there, but a moment later, her phone vibrated again.
Sheng Xian: “At Man Café.”
What did he mean by that?
Telling her the location, was he suggesting she should come over?
Lu Jingyan was typing rapidly, her fingers clattering on the keyboard. Just as she was about to reply, the screen lit up again.
Sheng Xian: “Today I’ll primarily talk to them briefly to get a sense of the involved parties’ feelings.”
Lu Jingyan stopped typing, completely baffled.
What on earth was Sheng Xian playing at, detailing his work for her like this?
Lu Jingyan: “?”
Lu Jingyan: “Did you mean to send this to someone else?”
Sheng Xian: “…”
What did those ellipses mean?
Was he speechless?
Lu Jingyan smirked, then saw two screenshots come up on her screen.
It was a screenshot of their chat from his side.
Above the dialogue box, it showed the timestamp, one from 8:20 this morning and the other from just a short while ago. Above the dialogue box, it displayed not her name but, “The other person is typing…”
Sheng Xian: “You stewed over it all morning, didn’t send a single message. Isn’t this what you wanted to know?”
Lu Jingyan: “…”
She really didn’t want to know this.
She was…
The word “Brother” she had tried so hard to push out of her mind was brought up once again.
Lu Jingyan muttered “damn it,” thinking she couldn’t get over this brother joke.
Lu Jingyan didn’t reply to Sheng Xian’s message.
Sheng Xian was probably busy; he didn’t send her any more messages either.
She hadn’t expected Sheng Xian to be so proactive. Having just agreed to her request last night, he was already making progress today.
She had been busy with other things all morning and hadn’t paid much attention to the follow-up regarding Aunt Sun’s daughter.
Now that Sheng Xian brought it up, and since she was free, she opened Emotion.
She thought the incident would have faded after topping the trending news for a day, but it was still on today’s trend list.
And the intensity had only grown.
Lu Jingyan realized after checking that Aunt Sun had sought out the other party to settle the matter privately, hoping they would tell the media it was a misunderstanding and let her daughter off.
In reality, many people, despite being wronged, would rather compromise for their children’s future.
But now the issue had hit the internet, Aunt Sun’s actions weren’t seen as trying to make peace but convinced many more that her daughter was indeed a thief.
In the world of the internet, secrets don’t exist. Within just one day, Aunt Sun’s daughter’s personal information, her school, and her participation in activities were all dug up online— even her gaming account was exposed, revealing how much she spent on skins and the total amount, calculated precisely by netizens.
The confluence of these issues made the public opinion spiral even further, and the comments from netizens turned sharper and more venomous than the day before.
