Chapter 86: Jiang Lai: Is Shen Xi mute

~8 min read 1,425 words

"This lady." Shen Xun called the woman again.

Luo Jiaai took a deep breath and pretended to turn around calmly.

"Calling me?"

"Yes." Shen Xun walked toward her and said very gentlemanly and politely, "Could you please send something inside to my wife? She is still in the bathroom."

As he spoke, he handed over a black plastic bag, which girls knew at a glance was sanitary pads.

Great, not suspected.

Luo Jiaai quickly took the plastic bag from his hand and turned back into the bathroom.

"Um, hello, your husband asked me to send you something." Luo Jiaai said on purpose, letting Shen Xun outside hear.

Jiang Lai reached out and took it: "Thank you."

She specially tore open the package, used one, and walked out carrying the black plastic bag.

"Jiang Lai." When Shen Xun saw her, a smile bloomed on his face, and he immediately greeted her.

Handed the flowers to her.

The last time Shen Xun gave her flowers was the bouquet on their wedding day.

Jiang Lai looked at Shen Xun's slightly ingratiating gaze and reached out to take the roses.

"Didn't bring a bag?" Shen Xun looked at the plastic bag in her hand, and after Jiang Lai nodded, he reached out to take it into his own hand, and then reached out to hold her.

"Let's go have lunch."

"Okay." Jiang Lai followed reluctantly in her heart and came to a restaurant in a nearby shopping mall.

Before the dishes were served, Shen Xun took a deep breath and made up his mind to bring up the incident at the Ke Lin Hotel that night to Jiang Lai.

"Jiang Lai, can you forgive what Xi did to you at the hotel?"

Jiang Lai paused in her action of drinking water, looked up, and said firmly: "You know it was Shen Xi who did it."

"Mm." Shen Xun nodded, "It's my fault for not managing her well. I apologize to you on her behalf, I'm sorry."

"And the day I insisted on you going home to apologize to Xi, I'm sorry."

Shen Xun's gaze looked very sincere.

But Shen Xun's "I'm sorry" had no gold content here for Jiang Lai.

After all, Shen Xun knew his own sister did something wrong, but still stood on his sister's side.

She, this wife, was insignificant, and two "I'm sorry" could dismiss it.

"It wasn't you who did it, why do you need to apologize?" Jiang Lai asked him, "Is Shen Xi mute?"

Shen Xun frowned slightly: "I apologize for Xi, and I also apologize to you. Let this matter pass, everyone don't mention it again, can you?"

Mentioning it over and over again was like sticking needles into Jiang Lai's body over and over again.

She asked back: "Why?"

"If you forgive Xi, Mom and Dad and Xi will remember your kindness." Shen Xun said that same sentence again, "I am thinking about our future."

Jiang Lai lowered her eyes and finished the warm water in the glass, but it was chilling to the bone.

"You mean when your dad was sick and hospitalized all these years, I delivered meals and accompanied him for checkups, he didn't remember my kindness."

"When your mom was cheated by buying health products, I was busy running between the police and the court, she didn't remember my kindness either."

"When Shen Xi was in college, she took the lead in isolating her roommate, was posted on the campus wall and then attacked and disliked, moving from this dorm to that dorm, from that dorm to another, it was all me coordinating, and I also helped her move quilts, clothes, computers, make the bed, and wash socks, she didn't remember my kindness either."

"Because she drugged me, causing me to almost be insulted, I forgive her, and only then will your family remember my kindness?"

Shen Xun's pupils shrank, and he was speechless.

"No..." He wanted to say no, he didn't mean that, but Jiang Lai's accusations were all true.

Shen Xun was silent, and his heart stung along with it.

Jiang Lai was accustomed to his silence.

Every time it involved the conflict between her and the Shen family, Shen Xun either let her bow her head first or was silent.

Being able to make Shen Xun silent almost always happened when the Shen family did something very excessive, and Shen Xun knew it in his heart, but he never stood on her side.

Under this premise of unfairness, remaining neutral was standing on the side of evil.

Jiang Lai looked straight at Shen Xun.

Shen Xun didn't dare to look at her.

Until the food was served, Shen Xun picked up the first chopstick of food for her, and then spoke.

"Hungry? Eat more."

If it were in the past, Jiang Lai would have stopped.

Because the past her couldn't bear to see Shen Xun caught in the middle and embarrassed, and couldn't bear to see Shen Xun lower his eyes and be sad.

Today, she ignored Shen Xun's embarrassment and continued: "Actually, Shen Xi might not have such courage."

Shen Xun looked up: "What do you mean?"

"Shen Xi bullies the soft and fears the hard, her courage is very small, otherwise she wouldn't have moved dorms at every turn when she was attacked by the crowd. Do you know that the thing she drugged me with, something similar to 'obedient water' in our country, belongs to which category of contraband?"

Shen Xun's pupils shrank.

"This thing itself doesn't belong to this category of contraband, but acts such as buying, selling, transporting, holding, etc., will constitute a drug crime, and this thing isn't something an ordinary person would have. How would Shen Xi, who only knows how to compete with girls, know such a person? How would she have such a channel?"

On the contrary, Lin Shutong, who had stayed abroad, was different.

Jiang Lai asked him seriously: "Shen Xun, haven't you suspected it? Shen Xi came out of the police station safe and sound because there wasn't enough evidence, which included the record of her buying and selling this thing. Big data is so developed now, if she searched online and bought it online, how could she not leave a record."

Shen Xun's body remained stiff.

Because what Jiang Lai said made a lot of sense.

"The reason you made the most excuses for Shen Xi was that she was instigated by others to do stupid things. I have always agreed with the point that Shen Xi is easily instigated.

"Shen Xun, you can reach this position, it's not just drunk cup by cup, there's also your brain. You are so smart, you should think about it carefully."

Jiang Lai ate her lunch quietly, Shen Xun chewed like wax, and the process of the day Jiang Lai had the accident began to flash in his mind.

The people involved in this matter, besides Xi, were only Shutong.

Shutong?

No, impossible.

Shutong had always been very kind and had never said anything bad about Jiang Lai in front of him.

The day he went to the hotel to catch them, Shutong even comforted him, saying maybe Xi was mistaken, and urged him not to be too excited.

"I'm done."

"Okay." Shen Xun came back to his senses and asked her gently, "Do you want to drink water?"

"I'll pour it myself." Jiang Lai took a sip of water, took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, "I have to go to class in the afternoon, being late is not good."

Shen Xun stood up, thought for a moment, and asked her: "Can you forgive us?"

What forgiveness or not, Shen Xun was just seeking peace of mind for himself.

Jiang Lai didn't answer directly, but said: "If you want me to withdraw the lawsuit, it's okay, Shen Xi needs to come and apologize to me personally. She was able to apologize to the girl she isolated at school back then, so she can also apologize to me, right?"

"All I want is for her to apologize in person."

"Okay." Shen Xun immediately agreed, "I'll let her go and apologize to you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow won't work." Jiang Lai refused, "As for when, let Shen Xi wait for my message."

Shen Xun frowned: "Why?"

"Shen Xi took my express delivery, and also made me wait." Jiang Lai said bluntly.

Shen Xun's brow furrowed even tighter: "Jiang Lai, can't you return evil with good? Do you have to return evil with evil?" ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
