Shen Yuan was almost dying from her attitude, but having something to ask, he could only endure, saying coldly: “Help me find the culprit of that car accident, and I’ll give you the Shen family.”
Chen Jing immediately refused: “No.”
She was just an ordinary person with a bit of money. Shen Yuan, the heir controlling most of the Shen family’s resources, coming to ask her was simply ridiculous.
Shen Yuan’s face darkened: “You think I’m lying?”
“I don’t know the culprit, and I don’t have the ability to find them. Go solve it yourself,” Chen Jing said, pointing to the door: “Goodbye.”
Shen Yuan tried to negotiate with her, but Shen Ran didn’t even look at him, radiating a keep-away attitude.
What irritated him more was how she remained cold to him but continued to gently pat Xu Cheng’an’s back, soothing him like a child.
Such differential treatment made Shen Yuan both angry and hateful. He finally glared at her fiercely and slammed the door as he left.
Chen Jing felt the air had become fresher with his departure.
By now, she was basically certain that Shen Yuan’s part of the plot had completely collapsed.
Not only did he know he would die in a car accident three months later, but he seemed to know something about her that made him able to suppress his temper to approach her.
And that electronic voice that seemed to know everything continued to appear mysteriously. Chen Jing couldn’t contact it, so she had to focus on solving Xu Cheng’an’s situation.
Her main task was to increase Xu Cheng’an’s happiness value; others’ affairs were none of her concern.
Chen Jing placed her hands on Xu Cheng’an’s shoulders, pushing him away slightly, and was stunned when her gaze swept over his swollen eyes: “Were you… crying this whole time?”
Xu Cheng’an embarrassedly burrowed into her embrace, burying his face in her shoulder, taking a deep breath: “Is what Shen Yuan said true?”
“Of course not,” Chen Jing quickly explained: “It’s just something the parents discussed. At most, they’re just joking. As long as I don’t agree, it doesn’t count.”
Xu Cheng’an didn’t believe her: “Are you just playing with me, like Shen Yuan said?”
