The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 139 - 139 130 I know youre busy but dont be too

?Chapter 139: Chapter 130: I know you’re busy, but don’t be too hasty Chapter 139: Chapter 130: I know you’re busy, but don’t be too hasty Qiao Kexin was begging Shen Jingxiu pitifully, her eyes brimming with a pitiable look.

Shen Jingxiu looked down and gave Qiao Kexin a glance, “Really?”

Qiao Kexin bobbed her head like pounding garlic, “It’s true! Absolutely true! You can ask me to do anything, I can do anything for you, as long as you’re willing to let me go tonight.”

“Is that so? Well, then I’ll just reluctantly agree to it. I’m not the kind of person who doesn’t know how to pity and cherish jade.”

“!!! Thank you, thank you, Mr. Shen!” Qiao Kexin was ecstatic; she had never imagined that Shen Jingxiu would be so easy to talk to.

Her crying and screaming just now had been nothing more than a shot in the dark.

At this moment, the person even more shocked than Qiao Kexin was Shen Jingchuan.

That’s not right, why has the boss suddenly changed his ways? This woman dares to use him and take him for a fool, how could he possibly let her off so easily?

It was also at this moment that Shen Jingxiu spoke up.

“Then wait for me for a second. I need to make a phone call first.”

Qiao Kexin nodded frantically.

Shortly after, the call that Shen Jingxiu dialed went through.

“Qiao Zhigao, this is Shen Jingxiu. Hmm, I know you’re probably busy dealing with your son Qiao Qinglang’s issue, but don’t worry about that for now. I’ve got a fresh recording here that you’ll definitely be interested in.”

“No!” Before Shen Jingxiu could hang up, Qiao Kexin already realized what was happening.

“You recorded it!! You recorded what I just said to you?!! How could you do this Shen Jingxiu!! You promised to let me go! Why call my stepfather? If he finds out what I said just now, he will torment me to a point worse than death. You had already promised me! Shen Jingxiu, you liar!”

Qiao Kexin tried to snatch Shen Jingxiu’s phone to delete the recording inside, but with mere fraction of his strength, Shen Jingxiu pushed her harshly onto the seat.

Shen Jingxiu sneered at her, “Isn’t it fun to play people? I’m simply treating you the same way you treated others. Didn’t you also promise me that you would leave A City forever? And yet, before leaving, you still pulled this stunt on me. You asked for it yourself.”

“No! Please, I’m begging you! You might as well send me to the police station. Don’t hand me over to Qiao Zhigao, please.”

“Save it, I’m tired of playing along with you. You tried to use me as a weapon, now I can only use your stepfather as a weapon against you. Now you know fear, why weren’t you afraid when you and Min Xiasha plotted against Wenyan?”

Shen Jingxiu got out of the car with a stern face, followed closely by Shen Jingchuan.

The two quickly returned to their own car, leaving the previous person to watch Qiao Kexin in the vehicle.

It wasn’t until Shen Jingxiu saw with his own eyes the Qiao Family rushing to drag Qiao Kexin away that he started the car.

On the way back, Shen Jingchuan asked, “Brother, was that thing you used to scare Qiao Kexin real?”

“Of course not, it was only water.”

“When did you do it? How come I didn’t know about it? Haven’t I been with you all the time since we left the hospital?”

“While you were in the restroom.”

Shen Jingchuan couldn’t help but give Shen Jingxiu a thumbs-up, “Efficiency. I definitely wouldn’t have had the clout.”

Shen Jingxiu glanced at his younger brother with a slight frown.

“You shouldn’t have stayed abroad for so long, you should have come back earlier.”

“Oh please! I’m a wastrel wherever I go, some people don’t even have me in their line of sight.”

“I heard you’ve been short on money recently. In a few days, once Wenyan’s situation is settled, let me have a look at your business plan.”

“Another handout, is it?” Shen Jingchuan chose to change the subject, “So what’s the next step? Is it time to go after Min Xiasha?”

“She’s easy to deal with. The main issue is the man who drugged Wenyan; we can’t let him get away. You don’t have to worry about this anymore, leave it to me.”

“So are we going back to the police station next?”

Just as Shen Jingxiu was about to respond to Shen Jingchuan, his phone received an incoming call.

It was Su Yang who called.

After the call ended, Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan found out that Shen Yuan and Su Yang had both gone to the hospital to see Wenyan.

Shen Jingxiu then decided to make a trip back to the hospital first.

By the time the two brothers arrived at the hospital, Shen Yuan and his wife Su Yang had been sitting there for a while.

All six family members gathered in the ward, making it the most complete gathering since the one time they watched the variety show together.

Although Wenyan’s situation pained Su Yang and made her furious, seeing the children come together to stand by their sister gave her great comfort.

After asking Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan a couple of questions, Shen Yuan called Shen Jingxiu out to talk.

It wasn’t long before Shen Jinghe received a call from his agent as well.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time tonight he had received a call from his agent.

Wenyan didn’t want to hold up his career, so after his call ended, she let him go.

After chatting for a while with her mother and children, Shen Yuan and Shen Jingxiu returned as well.

The father and son said they still had to make a trip to the police station.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wenyan urged Su Yang and Shen Jingchuan to go back as well.

After all, she had to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours for observation before they could determine whether she could be discharged, so she couldn’t let her family stay with her indefinitely.

Su Yang initially wanted to stay, but she couldn’t argue with Wenyan, and Shen Jingchuan was also dirty from his efforts to save Wenyan, even having Qiao Qinglang’s blood on him, so he couldn’t avoid going home to shower and change clothes.

When Wenyan was finally alone in the ward, she felt as though her awful ordeal was over.

Despite her mouth and tongue still burning with pain and a slight lingering haze in her head, upon reflection, she thought that the day hadn’t been so bad.

Because she had a whole family in this world looking out for her.

Mom and Dad, Fourth Brother, Second Brother, Big Brother, they were all good.

Such warmth dispelled the shadows left by the bad things, and she even managed to sleep soundly on the hospital bed.

The next morning she woke up just after seven o’clock.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a paper bag on the bedside table, filled with her favorite mini cakes.

Right at that moment, a nursing assistant came in and explained, “Your brother brought these for you early this morning; he really cares about you.”

Wenyan, who could now speak more effortlessly, visibly brightened and spoke with a hint of pride,
“Hehe, I have many brothers, I don’t know which one it is.”

The nursing assistant replied without hesitation, “The very handsome one.”

Wenyan laughed, “Haha, every one of my brothers is handsome.”

“Well, I can’t tell then, but you’re definitely blessed with good-looking brothers.”

Though she said that, Wenyan pretty much already had an idea.

She took a photo of the cake and then sent it to Shen Jingxiu.

‘Good morning, Big Brother. Is this from you? Thanks! But I’m curious, they don’t seem to be open at this hour, how did you buy it?’
Shen Jingxiu: ‘Money talks, make sure you rest plenty.’
Just as Wenyan was about to reply to Shen Jingxiu, someone knocked on the door of the ward.
