After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 836: Naively Unaware of the Implications
Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Naively Unaware of the Implications
Chen Shu’s words did not catch Shi Yaoguang off guard.
In fact, when she took the homeless man to the private garden, she had already anticipated this scenario.
What surprised her was that Fan Yanshu was even more obedient than she imagined.
"Sis-in-law, let me tell you, it’s a good thing you’re strong-willed and not interested in that guy Fan Yanshu. You have no idea, he looks more obedient than the most loyal dog now, with no autonomous thought at all..."
Chen Shu shivered as he spoke, "I think Fan Yanshu is definitely under some spell, maybe one of those legendary love potions that makes him obey every word..."
Seeing him analyze so well, Shi Yaoguang agreed, "What you said makes sense."
Chen Shu saw this and chuckled, "Although Fan Yanshu is under a spell, it’s not entirely disadvantageous for you, sis-in-law."
"What advantage?"
"That Zhou Yunhe who cast the spell on Fan Yanshu, he seems quite interested in you." Chen Shu rubbed his chin and expressed his speculation, "I think he might want to thank you for not marrying Fan Yanshu."
"If you hadn’t rejected Fan Yanshu, where would Zhou Yunhe have had the chance to put the spell on him? So, it’s only right for him to thank you."
"Hey, I wonder how he plans to thank you." As Chen Shu finished, his eyes suddenly widened, "Wait a minute."
"Zhou Yunhe is now Fan Yanshu’s man. If Fan Yanshu whispers something in his ear, won’t he turn against you? No, sis-in-law, you should probably run away."
"Run away?"
Shi Yaoguang looked at him in surprise, "Who gave you the idea that I need to run away?"
Chen Shu: "Ah, it’s not something I can explain in a short time."
"But I’m sure Zhou Yunhe is up to no good! He must have set a trap waiting for you to fall in." He said, looking at Quan Jinbei, "Brother Bei, you better watch out too. Zhou Yunhe made a name for himself in our Imperial Capital in less than half a year. If you think he only relied on Fan Yanshu without any real skill, that’s impossible! It’s best not to offend someone like him if you can avoid it. If he really wants to harm sis-in-law, it’ll be too late to say anything by then!"
Just as Chen Shu finished his sentence, his phone beeped with a message.
He took a look and his mouth twitched, "Speak of the devil, I was just complaining about him, and now he’s messaged me."
Zhou Yunhe’s message to Chen Shu was simple.
He just asked if Shi Yaoguang had returned to the country.
And to pass on his regards.
Nothing strange, everything seemed normal.
But to Chen Shu, that was the most abnormal thing.
"This Zhou Yunhe guy must be hiding something, being so diligent every day. Someone who doesn’t know better might think he’s interested in sis-in-law."
After saying this, he looked at Shi Yaoguang incredulously, "Sis-in-law, could it be that he’s really interested in you?"
Just as he finished, he received a knock on the head.
He hissed in pain and looked at Quan Jinbei, who had somehow stood behind him, aggrievedly, "Brother Bei, you hit me?"
"Yes, I hit you."
Quan Jinbei said expressionlessly, "Don’t link everything to love."
Chen Shu retorted, "If not for love, why does Zhou Yunhe constantly inquire about sis-in-law’s news?"
Quan Jinbei was aware of what Shi Yaoguang had done previously.
Thus, he somewhat understood Zhou Yunhe’s mindset and immediately said, "He just wants to express his gratitude."
"Gratitude?" Chen Shu clearly didn’t believe it, "In this day and age, who still talks about gratitude? Isn’t gratitude just a prelude to offering oneself in return?"
He added, explaining himself, "I’m not trying to stir things up here!"
"As everyone knows, when attractive people show gratitude, it usually ends in offering themselves. Only the unattractive ones talk about repaying kindness in the next life by being a cow or horse."
"Sis-in-law definitely doesn’t look like she needs someone to repay her in the next life."
To be fair.
His twisted logic did seem to make sense.
Quan Jinbei couldn’t help but be alert.
Fan Yanshu approached Shi Yaoguang because he carried the system.
As for Zhou Yunhe... Though the process was somewhat convoluted, he indeed owed Shi Yaoguang a debt of gratitude.
In such a scenario, if he were a bit perverse and fell for Shi Yaoguang, it wouldn’t be impossible. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Also, they might even have some perverse idea of offering themselves in return...
Hiss.
Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, "Chen Shu’s words, just listen and forget about them."
Quan Jinbei was relieved.
Even if Zhou Yunhe did have any intentions toward Shi Yaoguang, she wouldn’t respond.
But Chen Shu, with a face full of hurt, said, "Sis-in-law, are you saying I’m unreliable?"
Shi Yaoguang shrugged, innocently, "I’m not saying that, but..."
"If you feel that way yourself, I won’t stop you."
Chen Shu: "..."
At this moment.
A familiar overplayed song echoed in his mind.
BGM: A broken heart is like shattered glass...
Before he could fully indulge in his sorrow, his phone rang.
He instinctively answered it.
"Hello, who’s this?"
Still hurt, his tone was slightly impatient.
A cold voice came from the other side, "It’s me."
Chen Shu: "Who??"
After asking, he immediately realized.
Oh shit!!
Isn’t this... him?
Zhou Yunhe!
Goddamn Zhou Yunhe was actually calling him!
From the other end, Zhou Yunhe didn’t speak. He seemed to know Chen Shu recognized him.
"Zhou Yunhe, what’s the deal with this call? Are you interested in me?"
Zhou Yunhe was silent for a while, then finally said, "I just want to ask about Miss Shi’s whereabouts."
Hearing his cold voice, Chen Shu was silent for a moment.
Zhou Yunhe, seeing no response, couldn’t help but urge, "Mr. Chen, are you still there?"
Chen Shu rolled his eyes, "Why are you asking me about her? Can’t find anyone else to ask?"
Despite his words, a tiny bit of pride surfaced within him.
Eh.
Being too outstanding comes with its own set of problems.
Then, Zhou Yunhe said, "It’s more appropriate to ask you."
"Ah?" Chen Shu was surprised by his answer, "What do you mean by more appropriate? Don’t think I don’t get your innuendo just because I’m simple-minded."
Zhou Yunhe calmly replied, "Mr. Chen, you haven’t answered my question yet. Has Miss Shi returned?"
In fact, Zhou Yunhe had previously tried to find out about Shi Yaoguang’s whereabouts.
Although the Quan Family’s official statement was that Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei went abroad together.
But...
He still had his ways of confirming Shi Yaoguang’s real situation.
