Chapter 141: Shen Xun Discovers Jiang Lai Has Never Attended a Parenting Class

Jiang Lai received a message from the Fu Family's crown prince Fu Youlin early in the morning; his words conveyed an apology for the controversy and trouble Star Universe Technology caused at the last bidding conference, and then he invited her to a meal.

Invite her to a meal?

What's the need.

Shen Xun and Lin Shutong have already tried to profit but ended up losing, and even if Star Universe Technology apologizes, it is not for her.

Moreover, she has something else to do today.

Jiang Lai politely declined, citing that she has something to attend to.

Fu Youlin wore a gloomy expression, wanting to know what she had planned, and even more eager to know where she would go?

So he began to inquire everywhere.

Some were happy, some were sorrowful.

The happy one was Shen Xun, because Jiang Lai first refused Fu Youlin's invitation, then went to the institute to attend a class.

Shen Xun looked at the text reminder on the phone and curved the corner of their mouth.

Jiang Lai, though angry, would still obediently go to the parenting class.

Unfortunately the new car's paint hasn't been fixed yet; otherwise they would have driven the new car today to pick up Jiang Lai and give her the car key.

Giving her the car key now would also work.

Shen Xun tidied up, and the flowers they bought had arrived.

Carrying a champagne-colored rose, they went downstairs and ran straight into Lin Shutong.

"Shen Xun? Where are you going?" Lin Shutong's gaze fell on the rose, and the hand holding the bag tightened.

Shen Xun was also surprised: "Why did you come over?"

"We haven't seen each other for a few days," Lin Shutong said without concealment, "I thought you'd just come."

Shen Xun's first reaction was to frown, not to be happy.

"Shutong, I have something today; I'll see you tomorrow."

He stepped out, Lin Shutong grabbed his hand and got straight to the point: "Are you going to look for Jiang Lai?"

Shen Xun didn't want to hide it either, and nodded.

"Jiang Lai won't even see you; I came to you on my own, and you won't accompany me but instead want to see her?" Lin Shutong's eyes were full of grievance.

Shen Xun was a bit reluctant to look into her eyes and looked away.

"She doesn't see me because she's angry; I have to go placate her."

Lin Shutong, hearing that Shen Xun was going to appease another woman, felt her jealousy intensify; she bit her lip and asked, "Do you care that much whether she's angry or not? Shouldn't the person you care about be me?"

Shen Xun said, "She is my wife."

Again that sentence.

Lin Shutong could no longer tolerate it: "You two are only a nominal couple! You've never even touched her; what kind of wife does she count as for you?"

The fact that he hadn't been with Jiang Lai for four years once made Shen Xun think he was devoted, but now, looking back, he feels regret and guilt; would Jiang Lai see this as an insult to her?

"Shutong, let's discuss whatever it is later," Shen Xun said, seeing she still tried to block him, and continued, "If I don't go see Jiang Lai, if I don't placate her, the court summons will soon be in our hands."

Lin Shutong was startled.

In her agitation, she forgot about this matter.

Jiang Lai is not foolish now; she would know about her and Shen Xun's matter that same day and would definitely act.

She released Shen Xun's hand.

Shen Xun going to placate Jiang Lai is right; they cannot let their own jealousy cause them to overlook reputation.

But Jiang Lai has been quietly in the Shen family for four years, handling both career and family, which shows she must love Shen Xun a lot.

Loving Shen Xun so much, she probably wouldn't actually file a lawsuit, right?

She doesn't dare to be sure.

After all, Shen Xun really gave her too much.

She previously thought it wasn't much, but when tallied it shocked her; it's a debt she can't bear.

"Where are you going to look for her?"

"She has a class today."

"What class? Her title dropped so quickly? Where did she go?" Lin Shutong frowned, displeased and unconvinced.

Shen Xun said, "A parenting class."

Lin Shutong: "Parenting class?!"

It's no better than a demoted title.

Shen Xun actually enrolled Jiang Lai in a parenting class, which means he envisions a future with Jiang Lai, having children!

Then what will she say?

While Lin Shutong was stunned, Shen Xun had already stepped away, as if the earlier chat had been with an ordinary friend, and left so decisively.

Lin Shutong's heart ached again.

She said nothing and quietly followed.

Shen Xun arrived at the reception desk; the receptionist recognized them and immediately brought up hot water.

"President Shen is here again to pick up Mrs. Shen."

"Hmm." Shen Xun smiled, "She should be finishing class soon, right?"

"Almost now." The receptionist, looking at his handsome face, felt even work was passionate, and kept praising, "Mrs. Shen has never been late or left early; she is very diligent in class, takes notes seriously, and is working hard to plan for having children in the future."

Shen Xun's anxiety that had lasted for several days eased considerably at this moment.

"Thank you, she has always been diligent in everything she does."

Especially when cooking.

Always be able to remember his preferences, and remember his family's preferences.

The receptionist was momentarily dazzled by Shen Xun's gentle smile, then walked away with a chuckle, eager to tell Mrs. Shen that your husband had come to pick you up again!

What an enviably perfect love!

Another day of believing in love.

Luo Jiaai hadn't even lifted her front foot when she heard the news, and she turned away silently.

"I'll make a call first."

She called Jiang Lai.

"President Shen is here again; do you want me to stall a bit?"

"No need; you don't have to deal with him either."

"He asked me what to do?"

"Just tell the truth."

Luo Jiaai let out a doubtful sound, then quickly nodded assent, pocketed her phone, and went out.

"Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen is here."

Shen Xun entered holding a bouquet, a Porsche key hidden among the flowers.

Just as he passed by, the receptionist called out "Mrs. Shen" to another woman.

President Shen looked at the woman being called Mrs. Shen; he had seen her before.

The last time he came to pick up Jiang Lai, the woman in front of him had given him sanitary pads.

"What do you call her?" Shen Xun asked the receptionist.

Receptionist: "?"

"Mrs. Shen..."

Luo Jiaai confessed, "I'm not Mrs. Shen; hello, President Shen."

The receptionist was stunned.

"How can you not be Mrs. Shen? You've been the one attending the classes all along!"

Shen Xun was even more puzzled: "You've been the one attending all the classes? What about Jiang Lai?"

Wasn't Jiang Lai there the last time he came over?

A bad premonition washed over him.

Luo Jiaai calmly said, "It was me from the start; she transferred the cheap class to me."

Receptionist, shocked: "What!"

Shen Xun pressed, "When did she transfer it to you?"

Luo Jiaai looked at the rotten cucumber wrapped with roses for her husband, shrugged slightly, and said, "It was transferred to me from the start; I attended every class."

"So she lied to me last time?" Shen Xun seized the point, "If she doesn't like the class, why not just skip it? Why involve someone else to deceive me?"

"Wait, President Shen," Luo Jiaai retorted, "If she truly dislikes it, can she just not attend? If that's the case, why make me impersonate her to check in for the class? President Shen, you... aren't honest enough."

The receptionist pursed her lips and stepped aside.

This is President Shen of Star Universe Technology, a lady who has to buy low‑priced transfer cards to attend these classes; you're being far too bold.

Shen Xun naturally asked, "Why did she do that?"

Luo Jiaai: "Maybe because President Shen is cheating."

Receptionist: "!!!"

Dead leg, hurry up!

I wouldn't dare listen to this gossip.

"President Shen is already cheating, yet he still thinks about having his wife at home prepare for pregnancy? People shouldn't be too greedy," Luo Jiaai said and left.

Shen Xun stood there, stunned.

Jiang Lai transferred the parenting class away from the start.

Jiang Lai didn't learn about his affair with Shutong at the bidding conference; she had known long before.

From the beginning, Jiang Lai never believed his claim that he and Shutong were merely friends.

Jiang Lai deceived him.

She deceived him for over a month!

Why?

And she went to such lengths!
