The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 141 - 141 132 Sorry My Brother Is Just Too Concerned

?Chapter 141: Chapter 132: Sorry, My Brother Is Just Too Concerned About Me Chapter 141: Chapter 132: Sorry, My Brother Is Just Too Concerned About Me Thinking about it then looking at this big table of dishes, especially the fancy logo on the tableware, Wenyan felt a bit embarrassed.

“But this is a feast, this and that and this, just putting together one table of their dishes, the price of this fish alone mustn’t be low,” she said.

“Cut the chit-chat and start eating,” Shen Jingchuan was about to be amused by Wenyan, “I ate leftovers from yesterday because I advocate not wasting food, but it’s not like I’m so poor I can’t afford to lift the lid off the pot. Spending money on food is also putting money to good use. Can people live without eating?”

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll treat you once I’m discharged,” Wenyan replied.

Even though two dining carts were used to deliver the meal, it was actually because the tableware was too bulky.

Adding to that was Shen Jingchuan’s large appetite due to his towering height, so together, they practically wasted nothing.

After they finished eating, the same waiter came back in and cleared all the tableware away.

Shen Jingchuan suggested taking Wenyan downstairs for a walk to aid digestion.

Wenyan was fond of the idea too.

However, she couldn’t help but ask Shen Jingchuan, “Don’t you have other plans this afternoon?”

“No, why, trying to get rid of me?”

“Not at all,” Wenyan smiled, “I just don’t want to hold you back from important matters.”

“Don’t worry, I have nothing important this afternoon, but I do have a dinner engagement tonight. While I have the time now, is there anything you need help with? I can run errands for you or anything like that.”

Wenyan shook her head: “Nothing.”

Shen Jingchuan looked at her: “Think about it, don’t reject so quickly. I don’t usually serve others so easily.”

Wenyan: [??? Doesn’t delivering lunch count? You’ve already been serving for a long time without service, you insincere guy.]
Shen Jingchuan: “…” Impudent girl!

But after Shen Jingchuan’s reminder, Wenyan did think of something.

“Then, could you help me bring my new car over from that tea house?”

But before she could finish, Wenyan changed her mind: “Never mind, I’ll call a driver. Let him come here for the keys, then go get my car.”

“I’ll do it,” Shen Jingchuan offered instead, “I’m free anyway.”

It was a good opportunity to see what car she’d switched to after selling that Ferrari.

Wenyan: “You’re not just being polite, are you?”

“Do I look like someone who beats around the bush?”

“No, you’re straightforward. Here, the keys.”

“! So quick! Are you performing a magic trick, with car keys suddenly appearing in your hand?”

“Hehe, the bag just happened to be at hand. Thanks for the trouble!”

Shen Jingchuan pocketed the keys and again reminded her, “Then you still have to come down with me, you need to walk around.”

“Alright!”

After taking the elevator to the ground floor, the two separated.

Rather than going for a walk, Wenyan asked about the procedure for getting medication.

Then she took a number at the dermatology department and queued to get some medication.

After collecting her medicine, she went back to her room for an afternoon nap.

When she woke up, two hours had passed, and it was the ringing of her phone that had woken her.

It was a call from Lawyer Fang.

She said the police had caught a man suspected of impersonating Hou Wenbin and needed Wenyan to make an identification in person.

This indeed required Wenyan to take a trip there herself.

While they were discussing, Shen Jingchuan suddenly returned to the room.

Although he had no intention of interrupting Wenyan’s call, he overheard her mention “police.”

“Who called, what’s up?”

“It’s Lawyer Fang.” Wenyan had already talked about Lawyer Fang with Shen Jingchuan over dinner.

So Wenyan simply turned on the speakerphone.

Just then, Lawyer Fang asked Wenyan, “We’d better identify the person as soon as possible. Are you available now? I can leave the law firm and pick you up.”

Hearing this, Shen Jingchuan immediately refused, “No need, I’m her brother. I’ll take her there myself. Please wait for us at the police station.”

The Shen Family was a major client of the law firm where Lawyer Fang worked, and she was familiar with the members of the Shen family.

She spoke very politely, “Alright, Mr. Shen, then I’ll meet you and Miss Shen at the station shortly.”

“Mhm.”

After they finished talking, Wenyan hung up the phone.

Then she looked at Shen Jingchuan, “You came back just in time.”

“There was a bit of traffic en route, or else I would have been back earlier.”

“I was wondering. I’ve been asleep for nearly two hours now.”

[But how come the look he gave me when he came back after fetching the car changed, as if he was feeling sorry for me? I’m just going to identify a suspect.]
Shen Jingchuan took his eyes off her and fetched an extended overcoat from the coat hanger for Wenyan.

Indeed, feeling sorry was not incorrect, but more precisely it should be considered a sense of debt.

Heaven knows what he felt when he saw that Mercedes while picking up the car for Wenyan—the car was worth at most 300,000 yuan!

She sold a Ferrari worth millions and was now driving a car worth 300,000 yuan! And she had transferred five million to him; he genuinely felt very guilty.

With that in mind, Shen Jingchuan couldn’t help but personally help Wenyan put on the overcoat.

“Are you cold? Do you need to add a scarf?”

Wenyan, “… Brother, it’s not even winter yet.”

“This coat is nice, with the belt tied, it covers you from head to toe. You can’t even tell you’re wearing hospital attire underneath; you have good taste in clothes.”

Wenyan: [He’s a bit weird, but I kind of enjoy that last comment.]
Shen Jingchuan: Alright, then, I might as well give a few more compliments.

“Of course, it’s mainly because you’re good-looking, so everything looks nice on you.”

Wenyan: Delighted~
–
Several minutes later, both of them met with Lawyer Fang at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.

While walking, Lawyer Fang reminded Wenyan, “Relax when you identify him. The glass is one-way; the person inside can’t see you. If you feel any psychological discomfort at the time, you can ask to stop, and I’ll be waiting outside the room the whole time.”

Wenyan nodded, “Don’t worry, I’m in a pretty good state of mind.”

Actually, she wasn’t nervous and didn’t harbor any psychological shadows.

If she were to see the man who drugged her again, she would not feel fear at all; she would only think about beating him to death.

But Lawyer Fang and Shen Jingchuan clearly didn’t think so.

Especially Shen Jingchuan.

He insisted on going in with Wenyan.

However, according to the regulations, apart from the victim and the police, a third person was not allowed to accompany the identification process.

But Shen Jingchuan was adamant.

“My sister has already suffered tremendous psychological trauma, and she’s extremely unstable emotionally. What if her mind is further traumatized during the identification?”

Wenyan, who had not suffered any psychological trauma and was in fact very stable, said, “… Let’s go, officer uncle. Sorry, my brother is just too concerned about me. Let’s make it quick.”

But when she really stood in front of that glass, looking at those seven people in front of her.

Wenyan greatly hesitated.

She thought she could instantly recognize that bastard and make it quick.

But who knew, she eventually had to use the process of elimination.

Because that bastard had been beaten until one of his eyes was swollen, his head was wrapped with bandages, and he seemed to have a limp, perhaps even a dislocated arm.
