Chapter 73

~7 min read 1,357 words

The whole night, Shen Xun was very busy.

Busy bailing out his sister.

Busy hiding it from his parents.

In the end, he couldn't hide it. Shen's father and mother went to the police station overnight, saw their daughter whose eyes were swollen into walnuts, and learned that it was because of Jiang Lai, and cursed Jiang Lai from head to toe.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"

"Your brother wanted to hide it from us; thanks to Shutong secretly telling us."

"Wuwuwuwu, it's still Dad, Mom, and Sister Shutong who are good to me." Shen Xi thought, if Sister Shutong could secretly tell her parents to save her behind her brother's back, she wouldn't say that Sister Shutong was involved in this matter no matter what.

Facing her parents, Shen Xi didn't insist that she was wronged; except for mentioning Lin Shutong, she said everything.

She knew that only in this way could her parents help her.

Shen's mother poked her daughter's forehead hard and scolded her in a low voice: "How dare you? And you chose the Ke Clan's hotel. Other hotels would be fine; people would give your brother face, but the Ke family never gives anyone face."

Every time Shen's mother thought of the day she was humiliated by Ms. Nian at the Eden Restaurant, she got angry. It wasn't just that she was born better and married better; she didn't know what she was being arrogant about.

Shen's father asked: "Do you have the purchase record for that medicine?"

"Bought from a private individual, didn't even meet." Shen Xi shook her head, "There is no purchase record."

"What about the man you arranged for Jiang Lai to cheat with?" Shen's father asked immediately, "Did that man not stay in the room?"

"No, I don't know the reason, he went in for a while and came down. Later we went up, and the whole room was cold water." Shen Xi held her mother's hand and answered seriously.

Shen's father pondered for a moment: "That means he went to the wrong room and came out after realizing it. Your only mistake was not closing the door tightly, understand?"

"But I closed it tightly." Shen Xi didn't react for a moment.

Shen's mother glared at her: "Dead child, listen to your father; if he says you didn't close it tightly, then you didn't close it tightly."

"Oh." Shen Xi realized later.

Shen's father comforted his daughter: "Don't worry, I'll have someone find that man later and tell him he went to the wrong room; it won't be bad for him. If there is no evidence, they have to let you go after twenty-four hours."

"Ah? Have to stay for twenty-four hours?" Shen Xi looked aggrieved, shaking her father's hand, "Dad, I don't want to stay here for so long."

"I know." Shen's father was also worried, "You coming out doesn't mean you're completely fine. If Jiang Lai and the Ke Lin Hotel insist on pursuing your responsibility, there will still be a grind."

Shen's mother said angrily: "This Jiang Lai, she's leaving, and she still wants to bite us."

"Leaving?" Shen Xi asked, "Where is she going?"

"Nowhere." Shen's mother didn't answer her daughter's question, but instead instructed her, "Don't tell your brother about tonight, keep your mouth tight. Your brother has feelings for Jiang Lai, and they aren't shallow."

Shen Xi pouted: "I know."

Shen's father said: "Later you go find Jiang Lai and let her withdraw the accusation against Xiao Xi. As for the Ke Clan side, it won't work just by relying on my son; I have to find someone."

The two split up.

Shen's mother called her son to ask, is Jiang Lai at home or where?

After Shen Xun learned that his parents knew, his body stiffened, and he immediately said: "Mom, Jiang Lai is not feeling well; don't go disturb her."

"Since Xiao Xi is innocent, there is nothing to worry about; I will solve it."

Shen's mother hung up the phone in anger.

Really, he has a wife and lost his mother.

He didn't even listen to his own mother's words.

He protects Jiang Lai like a treasure every day, not knowing that Jiang Lai is about to divorce you!

Shen's mother called Lin Shutong again.

Lin Shutong said: "Auntie, A-Xun won't let me say it."

"Shutong, Auntie won't tell him."

"Okay." Lin Shutong's voice was helpless, but the corners of her mouth were overflowing with smiles, "Jiang Lai is at the Chi Family Medical Hall."

Getting the address, Shen's mother rushed over immediately.

After rushing for half the night, it was already dawn.

Jiang Lai still opened her eyes under the call of her biological clock. Grandma Chi woke up earlier than her and had long been busy.

She pushed open the window.

After resting, she felt refreshed.

Fortunately, she braced herself to lock herself in the bathroom yesterday, and fortunately, Ke Zhongyu appeared yesterday.

Otherwise, she would have a very high probability of being drowned.

Jiang Lai was grateful to Ke Zhongyu and took out her phone to thank him again, only to find that the phone was out of power and she didn't bring a charger, so she was too lazy to charge it.

"Morning, Secretary Jiang."

It was Chi Ce.

"Morning, Doctor Chi, where is Grandma Chi?"

"Drying herbs in the backyard, I guess." Chi Ce stepped forward and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Refreshed." Jiang Lai said concisely.

Chi Ce nodded: "That's fine, I have to report to President Ke."

"Why?" Jiang Lai was a bit confused.

"I am President Ke's private doctor. I was called to work overtime by him last night. The content of the overtime was to see a doctor for you. Whether your illness is better or not, I have to tell him." Chi Ce said and walked to one side.

Jiang Lai lifted her foot, intending to go to the backyard to find Grandma Chi, when a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.

"Is Jiang Lai there?"

The dissatisfied tone sounded like she was here to find trouble.

Chi Ce looked back.

Jiang Lai also looked back.

Seeing Jiang Lai, Shen's mother walked in swaggeringly, and finding that there were others here, she didn't want to let outsiders see the joke.

"Jiang Lai, come out, I have something to tell you."

"Are you here to talk about Shen Xi?" Jiang Lai looked indifferent, "I don't agree."

"I haven't said anything yet, and you don't agree?"

"Regarding Shen Xi's matter this time, I don't agree to anything."

Shen's mother widened her eyes: "Jiang Lai! Xiao Xi is also your sister! And your divorce certificate with Shen Xun hasn't..."

"My sister will only be an orphan." Jiang Lai interrupted her. After marrying into the Shen family for four years, Shen Xi's pranks on her were countless, and Shen Xun always said, Xiao Xi is still young, and she is also your sister.

Although this sentence didn't come from Shen Xun's mouth now, as long as it came from the Shen family's mouth, she felt disgusted.

"May I ask when the two of you will die?"

"What..." Shen's mother was shocked to the point of being speechless; how could Jiang Lai be so rebellious!

"You you you you... do you know you will be struck by lightning?"

"It was Shen Xi who kept saying I was an orphan, and even scolded my friends for being orphans. You insist on saying she is my sister, then may I ask when the two of you..."

"Pah pah pah!" Shen's mother said angrily, "If you say those two words again, I won't be done with you."

Jiang Lai looked fearless.

She used to respect them, and she used to endure humiliation in the Shen family because she loved Shen Xun and thought Shen Xun also loved her; she didn't want to make Shen Xun feel embarrassed in the middle.

The past is the past, and now is now.

"Jiang Lai! Don't you want the divorce certificate? If you don't let Xiao Xi go this time, we won't go to handle the divorce certificate!"
