Chapter 56 Mission

Chapter 56 Mission

Shen Xizhen nodded gently: "Dad did give me a task, which is to make Zheng Jiayu devoted to me during this period of time. But I think this is very difficult. Zheng Jiayu looks gentle and can talk to anyone, but in reality, she doesn't trust anyone except Gu Yunting, including our leader."

Shen Lin looked at Shen Xizhen with a puzzled expression. He should just complete his father's task properly. Why is he suddenly thinking about these things?

"Big brother, why are you suddenly bringing this up? This isn't the task Dad gave you."

"I know all that you're saying, but I'm suddenly unsure if what we're doing is right or wrong." Shen Xizhen's feelings were actually quite complicated.

Especially after guessing some things.

She Lin looked at Shen Xizhen in disbelief. Was this a question her brother should be asking?

"Brother, you know very well that we've been doing these things for so many years. Isn't it redundant for you to say this now?" Shen Lin said inexplicably.

Shen Xizhen looked somewhat dazed. After staring at Shen Lin for a long time, she said bitterly, "You're right, it was indeed unnecessary."

Reaching up to rub his temples, Shen Xizhen stared blankly at Shen Lin in front of him.

After a long silence, she asked again, "Chen Lin, do you think Dad is good to us?"

Shen Lin also fell silent when asked about this.

Just when Shen Xizhen thought Shen Lin wouldn't answer, she heard Shen Lin say, "Dad is both good and bad to us."

“His kindness towards us is only because we have value. When we no longer have value, he might just take back all his kindness.” Shen Lin didn’t really care about this, since there was no real affection in the Shen family except for her and Shen Xizhen, who had a relatively good relationship.

Shen Xizhen looked silently at Shen Lin in front of her. Yes.

There is no true affection in the Shen family.

If they want to gain benefits from their family and the favor of their parents, they have to pay a greater price.

For example, obediently doing things for the Shen family, doing anything.

Even if it's a matter of life and death, they will do it if Shen Yang gives the word.

Shen Lin tilted her head and looked at Shen Xizhen. Could it be that something was wrong with her brother saying these things all of a sudden?

"Brother, are you suddenly bringing this up because you've fallen for Zheng Jiayu?"

Shen Xi rolled her eyes at Shen Lin and said irritably, "How could I possibly like Zheng Jiayu?"

"If you don't like it, why are you making that face? Don't forget you have Chen Jia by your side. She's not someone to be trifled with." Recently, those who like Shenlin have all been secretly dealt with by Chen Jia.

She never expected Chen Jia to have such abilities.

Shen Xizhen didn't care about the news at all, and simply said indifferently, "She's just a pawn, nothing to say about it."

"Brother, if we let Chen Jia continue like this, it will cause trouble for both of us." Recently, Chen Jia has become increasingly reckless in her actions.

This made Shen Lin very worried.

"Be careful, this matter is still under my control, nothing serious will happen."

Looking Shen Xizhen up and down, Shen Lin leaned closer and asked, "Brother, are you sure you can control Chen Jia? If something goes wrong, it could result in someone's death."

"Don't worry, as long as I give Chen Jia some benefits, she will behave herself and won't do anything she shouldn't. You can rest assured about that and don't need to worry."

Staring intently at Shen Xizhen in front of her, Shen Lin finally said nothing but helplessly said, "Since you've said that, then I won't care anymore. But you should still tell Chen Jia not to look at me with those eyes. I really hated the way she looked at me before."

She looked up at Shen Lin beside her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"She looks like she could kill me at any moment. Brother, you said we're just siblings, but she treats me like a rival in love. Isn't that a bit much?"

Chen Jia is like a madwoman now, capable of doing anything.

Shen Xizhen gently patted Shen Lin's head and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. As for Chen Jia, I'll go and tell her."

"That would be best, but what are your thoughts on the mission to get closer to Zheng Jiayu?"

"It's Dad's mission. Even if I don't want to, there's nothing I can do but obey. Isn't it the same for you?"

Shen Lin's body stiffened instantly, and she said with a somewhat dejected tone, "You already know?"

"Yes, something will happen to Gu Yunting. Dad definitely won't let you continue to focus on Gu Yunting, so he will give you other orders. Am I right?"

“My older brother is the smartest. You’re right. He told me to find a man named Xie Xi.”

"Are they from the Xie family?"

Shen Lin nodded; this was indeed someone from the Xie family.

However, the Shen family and the Xie family have never been in contact, so it might not be so easy to find them if they suddenly go looking for them now.

"Dad really knows how to cause us trouble; he always manages to find something like this to happen to us."

"Who knows? Maybe Dad has his eye on everything the Xie family has and wants to take over the Xie family just like the Gu family."

Thinking of Shen Yang's ambition, Shen Lin felt somewhat irritated.

Although it was Shen Yang's order, Shen Lin genuinely liked Gu Yunting.

Now Gu Yunting is about to be killed by his own father, and she is completely helpless, unable even to offer a word of warning.

Even if she wanted to save him, Gu Yunting was already gone, and she didn't even know where he had gone.

Seeing Shen Lin's worried expression, Shen Xizhen knew what she was thinking: "Shen Lin, if you want to live, don't go against your father's wishes. The person you want to save is the person your father wants to kill. You have no chance."

Shen Lin's body stiffened instantly. Looking at Shen Xizhen, she said, "Brother, I really like Gu Yunting, I don't want to..."

"Shen Lin, people like us are not worthy of feelings. No matter who we fall in love with, it will only hurt her." That's why even if Shen Xi really has someone she likes, she won't even glance at them.

When you truly fall in love with someone, you become greedy and end up with nothing.

Shen Lin clenched her fists and looked at Shen Xizhen in disbelief, her voice hoarse as she said, "Brother, do I really have no chance at all?"

“You’ve never had a chance. Shen Lin, let Gu Yunting go. He’ll be dead now. Are you going to go against Dad for him? You know what Dad’s methods are.”

Thinking of Shen Yang's cruelty, Shen Lin's face turned deathly pale.

Yes, she had barely survived from Shen Yang's clutches, and she absolutely could not go back.

Even if she stays outside, she doesn't want to go back to that cage.

"Brother, don't worry, I understand. I won't have any more thoughts. As for Gu Yunting, I won't like him anymore."
