Chapter 37 Living Together

Shen Xizhen never expected that Chen Jia would actually make a move against Zheng Jiayu.

Fortunately, Zheng Jiayu is alright.

However, this is also something that does more harm than good.

But we still need Chen Jia now, so we just need to appease her a little.

"Auntie is just worried that you might hurt Zheng Jiayu, which will affect you. Please don't be angry," Shen Xizhen said comfortingly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jia became agitated: "It's not that she's afraid of affecting me, she's worried that I'll affect my brother and sister-in-law's future. I'm the person she dislikes the most, she's always been biased towards me since I was a child."

"Now they've even kicked me out of the house because of Zheng Jiayu," Chen Jia said sadly.

After leaving home, she didn't know where else she could stay.

Shen Xizhen's lips curled slightly. Chen Jia was in a vulnerable state right now. What if he helped her out?

Will Chen Jia be completely devoted to him, doing whatever he asks her to do?

Thinking about that, Shen Xizhen said, "I have a spare room at home. If you don't mind, you can stay here for the time being."

Chen Jia's eyes were full of joy, then she looked at Shen Xizhen hesitantly: "Will Shen Lin be angry?"

"Don't worry, you don't usually see each other. I'll talk to Shen Lin about this when we get back, so you don't need to worry," Shen Xizhen said reassuringly.

Chen Jia nodded earnestly: "Thank you, Dr. Shen, for taking me in."

Shen Xizhen took Chen Jia back home when she had some free time. The room wasn't very big, but it made Chen Jia very happy.

It's so great that she can live under the same roof as Shen Xizhen.

When Shen Lin returned home that evening, she saw Chen Jia cooking and frowned, her gaze fixed on Shen Xizhen.

"Brother, come out for a second."

Shen Xizhen knew what Shen Lin wanted to ask. She followed Shen Lin out and, after making sure Chen Jia couldn't hear their conversation, Shen Lin asked, "It's one thing for you to touch people inappropriately in the treatment room, but now you've brought them back. What are you trying to do?"

"She delivered a useful chess piece to my door, why shouldn't I take it?"

piece?

Shen Lin stared at Shen Xizhen in shock: "Brother, are you trying to use Chen Jia's feelings for you to get her to go after Zheng Jiayu?"

“She has already gone, but unfortunately she failed. However, I did get some good news: Zheng Jiayu has learned self-defense from Gu Yunting, and not only that, she has learned it quite well.” Shen Xizhen told Shen Lin the information he had obtained from Chen Jia.

Shen Lin found it somewhat unbelievable.

Zheng Jiayu seems like a gentle and kind person, how could she endure such hardship?

"Brother, if that's the case, we'll have to be careful when we take action against Zheng Jiayu later."

"Therefore, Chen Jia is very necessary."

Shen Lin rolled her eyes at Shen Xizhen: "You'd better take it easy and not cause a death, otherwise even with Dad's connections, it won't be easy to explain this matter."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"How's the situation on your end?" Shen Xizhen asked, leaning against the doorframe.

"If we teach the children to read diligently as you suggest, this problem won't happen again." Shen Lin rubbed her temples.

After teaching her child to read properly today, Shen Lin realized just how tiring it is to teach a child.

"That's for the best. As for the family compound, don't go there for a while. Wait until things calm down before you go. Be smart then, and don't do anything stupid." Shen Xizhen gave Shen Lin a warning look.

Shen Lin pouted and said, "I know."

After they finished speaking, the two returned home. Chen Jia looked at Shen Lin somewhat awkwardly and said, "Comrade Shen, I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"It's okay, just don't go to my room," Shen Lin said nonchalantly after learning of Shen Xizhen's plan.

Chen Jia had prepared herself for Shen Lin to make things difficult for her, but when she turned around and saw how easy-going Shen Lin was, she nodded happily.

"Don't worry, I won't go without your permission. If you need cleaning done, just tell me and I'll help you clean," Chen Jia said happily.

Seeing Chen Jia's happy face, Shen Lin shook her head helplessly. Another stupid woman deceived by Shen Xizhen's face.

"good."

Zheng Jiayu learned about Chen Jia moving into Shen Xizhen's house from Chen's mother.

When Chen's mother learned of this, she came to tell Zheng Jiayu.

"Jiayu, I have a feeling that Shen Xi is up to no good. You must be careful," Chen's mother said worriedly.

Zheng Jiayu looked up at Chen's mother, about to speak, when a sharp pain shot through her head.

Once they calmed down, they saw that something had happened to Chen's mother.

The incident occurred two days later. When Chen's mother went out to buy things, she encountered a group of thugs, which led to her death.

These people have intricate connections with Shen Xizhen's side.

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Jiayu didn't say it directly, but instead said to Chen's mother, "Auntie, thank you for coming to tell me all this."

Chen's mother smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I didn't raise my child well that she keeps staring at you like this."

Zheng Jiayu held Chen's mother's hand and said comfortingly, "Auntie, there's nothing wrong with how you teach your children. Look at Brother Chen, and your grandchildren, they're all very good."

"As for Chen Jia, she became like this because she didn't understand how good you were to her. She'll be fine once she figures it out," Zheng Jiayu said, offering words of comfort without criticizing Chen Jia.

Chen's mother patted Zheng Jiayu's hand: "Then I'll take your good wishes and hope that Chen Jia can see through Shen Xi's true colors."

The worst fear is that even if Chen Jia sees through Shen Xizhen's true nature, she will still choose Shen Xizhen, like a moth drawn to a flame, disregarding everything.

Having said what needed to be said, Chen's mother left.

When Gu Yunting returned, Zheng Jiayu couldn't wait to tell him about it, and Gu Yunting's eyes were full of hostility.

"Does Shen Xi really think this place is his own home, doing whatever he wants?"

“These people are related to Shen Xizhen, but not closely, and they won’t implicate him,” Zheng Jiayu shook her head gently.

Given Shen Xizhen's personality, he certainly wouldn't leave such a big handle on hand.

"After that, I had someone follow Aunt Chen so that I could save her life."

"How about this, you and Brother Chen can both ask for leave in two days, and we can go out together. That way we'll have an excuse and it won't seem too abrupt," Zheng Jiayu thought for a moment and offered a reasonable solution.

"I'll listen to you."

The next day, before going to training, Gu Yunting first went to talk to the leader about the matter, and then went to find Aunt Chen's son to arrange to go to the county town to buy things together the next day.

Everything is arranged; now we just wait for the other party to take the bait.

When the time came, the two families went out together.

Just as Zheng Jiayu had predicted, a group of thugs wielding knives appeared as they approached the county town.

"Give us all the money, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Gu Yunting and the eldest brother of the Chen family shielded Zheng Jiayu and Aunt Chen behind them. The two exchanged a glance and attacked at the same time.
