Chapter 88: Doing wrong and still having reason, right

Shen Xi looked at the hung-up phone, feeling a bit uneasy.

Lin Shutong had long seen who was calling, so she asked: "What's wrong? Did Axun scold you?"

"No, just asked me to go back, but I feel my brother is a bit angry." Shen Xi sent a message to her mother to ask about the situation.

Soon she learned the purpose of her brother looking for her from her mother.

She was shocked: "My brother actually asked me to apologize to Jiang Lai? Why!"

Lin Shutong saw the information, and what she was more concerned about was the sentence later, Axun looking for Shen Xi had more important things.

What important things?

I'm afraid it was only about the Ke Lin Hotel incident.

Wouldn't that only be about the Ke Lin Hotel incident?

Lin Shutong's heart was also a bit uneasy. Recently, she clearly felt that Axun cared more and more about Jiang Lai, and even wanted to keep distance from her.

Last time Jiang Lai suspected it was her who instigated Shen Xi.

Did Jiang Lai tell Axun her suspicion?

It wasn't impossible.

"Xi, don't blame your brother, it's probably Jiang Lai whispering in your brother's ear." Lin Shutong reached out and touched her head, her smile gentle, "Don't be afraid, your brother has always loved you the most."

"I know." Shen Xi was always easily instigated, pouting, "It's all Jiang Lai's fault, my brother has been getting fiercer to me recently, and always defends Jiang Lai."

"Sister Shutong, you go back with me. If Mom and Dad can't stop my brother, you go up and hug my brother!"

"This isn't good, right?" Lin Shutong looked embarrassed, "Axun and I are now..."

Some words were stopped at the point.

Shen Xi said with heartache: "Sister Shutong, don't be afraid, no one in our family likes Jiang Lai. My brother actually cares more about you, it's just that my brother is blind and can't see his own heart."

Lin Shutong's expression paused slightly.

"The person he clearly loves is you, but he refuses to divorce Jiang Lai because of responsibility. They are both adults, what responsibility can there be? Making it look like my brother slept with her, and she didn't sleep with my brother." Shen Xi never spoke without thinking.

A flash of disgust passed through Lin Shutong's eyes.

Actually, the only ones in the Shen family who could be on the table were Shen's father and Shen Xun, both of whom were intellectuals and had decent jobs.

Shen's mother and Shen Xi were mother and daughter who were brainless and liked to chew on people's tongues, but they couldn't say anything of a high level, just some coarse language.

"Xi, actually I'm a bit worried that your brother talking to you is asking if I had a part in the Ke Lin Hotel incident. You also know that Axun is your biological brother, he'll just scold you a bit and it'll pass, but I can't compare to your position in his heart. If he knows I was involved in this, I'm afraid he'll be angry with me, and then have a better relationship with Jiang Lai."

Since Lin Shutong came back, the most she heard from Shen Xi was how Axun was to her because of Jiang Lai, emphasizing that she was the family member closer to Axun.

What bad intentions could Shen Xi have? She was just a little girl who longed for her brother's attention and longed for her brother to value her more.

Shen Xi looked down on Jiang Lai and always thought about making her brother and sister-in-law divorce. If Axun and Jiang Lai's relationship became better, how could a little girl with no bad intentions be willing?

Lin Shutong took hold of Shen Xi's mind in just a few words.

Shen Xi told her to put her heart at ease.

"Sister Shutong, I'm not that stupid. No matter how my brother asks, this matter has nothing to do with you. My parents didn't even get angry, it was just my brother who was angry there."

"Our Xi is the kindest." Lin Shutong touched her head again, like training a stupid dog.

The two returned to the Shen family together.

Lin Shutong said calmly: "Axun, we haven't seen each other for two or three days."

"Work is too busy." Shen Xun looked at Lin Shutong's bright and gentle smile, and his expression suddenly became more complex.

Shutong couldn't have done such a vicious thing.

However, Jiang Lai, who was cold in nature, never lied either.

Shen Xun personally poured hot water for Lin Shutong, told her to sit on the sofa for a while, and went to the study with Shen Xi to talk about things.

Being called to the study in the Shen family was no less than being called to the office by a teacher at school. Shen Xi became nervous all over.

She looked at her parents, and her parents signaled her not to worry too much.

She looked at Lin Shutong, who also signaled her not to worry with her eyes.

The study door closed, and the sound inside could hardly be heard outside.

Shen Xun asked straight to the point: "Besides you, who else was involved in the Ke Lin Hotel incident?"

Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat.

It really was this matter.

Sister Shutong is god-like!

"Just me, who else could it be? Who else could I find to help?" Shen Xi rolled her eyes, "Brother, you look down on me too much."

Seeing her expression of not repenting but being proud, Shen Xun's anger gradually rose.

"Speak properly! Doing wrong and still having reason, right?"

"Jiang Lai is fine, isn't she?" Shen Xi didn't care.

Shen Xun scolded: "What if!"

He felt lingering fear just thinking about it.

He hadn't even touched Jiang Lai.

"Don't change the subject, answer me honestly, is there anyone helping you? Don't make me investigate it personally, by then it won't just be stopping your pocket money."

"Stop it then." Anyway, she had Sister Shutong, and Shutong wasn't a stingy person like Jiang Lai, she was very willing to spend money on her.

"It was just my own idea, it has nothing to do with anyone else. I've already been to the police station, what else do you want me to do?" Shen Xi looked aggrieved.

Shen Xun ignored her coquetry and continued to ask: "Where did the medicine come from? Where did you get the channel?"

"Just... found it online."

"If you found it online, you would have been investigated by the cyber police long ago." Shen Xun glared at her fiercely, "Shen Xi, I'm telling you, you privately buying and selling this kind of thing belongs to smuggling contraband. If Jiang Lai doesn't withdraw the lawsuit for a day, they will keep investigating, and one day they will find out. I'll see who can cover the sky with one hand and save you."

Shen Xi's eyes widened slightly, seemingly a bit scared.

"It's not that serious, right? Then, then I'll go apologize to Jiang Lai, okay?"

"Of course you have to go apologize to her." Shen Xun let out a turbid breath, "But you also have to tell me, who else was involved in this matter? Who introduced the seller to you?"

"What seller, brother, don't speak so scarily, okay?" Shen Xi's body was already trembling slightly.

Shen Xun stared closely at his sister's expression changes.

Xi was indeed a coward.

She didn't have such great courage.

"Xi, who helped you? Was it..." Shutong's name turned on the tip of his tongue, then was swallowed back by him.

His fingers curled.

"I, I..." Shen Xi stammered, also very hesitant in her heart, but thinking that if her brother had a rift with Sister Shutong because of this, Jiang Lai would have to rely on their family for a lifetime, her wings hardened again.

"It was just an accidental encounter, that person happened to have it, so I bought it." Shen Xi insisted on not saying, thinking that she had sacrificed too much for this family, for her brother and Sister Shutong's happiness.

In the final analysis, it was all Jiang Lai's fault, always holding onto her and not letting go.

"Did Jiang Lai say something to you? She wouldn't suspect that Shutong and I did it together, right? Why, still want to drag Sister Shutong into the water? Brother, don't you know what kind of character Sister Shutong has? Why listen to Jiang Lai's words?"

"Jiang Lai just wants to alienate you and Sister Shutong, so she can occupy you alone. Her jealousy is too strong, right? Doesn't she let her husband have friends of the opposite sex?"

Shen Xun's expression paused slightly: "You mean, Jiang Lai is jealous?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Xi sneered, "Jiang Lai wasn't a good person to begin with. You don't know that last time I was hospitalized, the family members came to make trouble. Jiang Lai could have used money to appease them, but she insisted on reporting that my brother was the president of Star Universe Technology. Is she planning to let them go to Star Universe Technology to make trouble?"

Shen Xun was a bit stunned.

"Mom and Dad didn't tell you this, right?" Shen Xi seemed to have caught Jiang Lai's pigtail and immediately fought back, "Jiang Lai isn't a good person, brother, how can you believe whatever she says?"

"If Sister Shutong knew you suspected her, I don't know how much she would cry. She has been working hard on scientific research abroad alone for these years. Except for work, her heart is all on you."

"You're one to talk. You betrayed someone's sincere heart, and now you're here doubting them? I'm going to go tell Sister Shutong right now." Shen Xi put on a show of wanting to leave.

"Stand still." Shen Xun called her, walked over, and stared down at his sister, "Was it really just you?"

"Don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm going to tell on you to Sister Shutong." Shen Xi opened the door, and her arm was held by her brother at the same time.

"Alright, let's leave it at that." Shen Xun finally believed his sister's words and Lin Shutong's character.

"Don't go out and talk nonsense, and remember to apologize to Jiang Lai. Only after apologizing will she withdraw the lawsuit. Don't you want to study abroad? If this matter doesn't end quickly, it will definitely affect your visa."

Shen Xi's eyes widened: "I'll go tell her I'm sorry now!"

Saying sorry wouldn't make her lose a piece of meat.

"You took someone else's things last time and deliberately made her wait, this time you have to wait too."

"Is she sick?" Shen Xi was instantly furious, "What if it affects my studying abroad?"

Shen Xun shook his head helplessly and walked out one step ahead of her.

Hearing the movement, Lin Shutong stood up and looked toward the study door. The first person she looked at was Shen Xi.

Shen Xi gave her an OK gesture with fear.

Lin Shutong lowered her eyes to hide the success in her eyes, then walked up, "Axun, you didn't bully Xi, did you?"

"I did!" Shen Xi complained, walking over stickily and shouting, "Sister Shutong, I agreed to apologize to Jiang Lai, and my brother is still scolding me."

"Axun, Xi already knows she's wrong, forgive her, okay?" Lin Shutong looked at him with expectation.

Shen Xun looked at Lin Shutong's clean and pure eyes, thinking how he could have wavered, Shutong would definitely not do such a thing.

But he couldn't blame Jiang Lai either.

Jiang Lai was jealous.

Jealous...

Savoring these two words, Shen Xun found that not only was he not angry, but he was a bit happy.

Jiang Lai cared about him.

"Axun, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Shen Xun shook his head.

Lin Shutong saw at a glance that he was hiding something from her, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Just at this time, Lin Shutong received a call from abroad.

"Ms. Lin, the detailed statement of your scientific research expenditure here was sent to your email yesterday. Since you have no receipt information, I specially called to notify you to remember to check it."

Lin Shutong was puzzled.

She hadn't asked for a detailed statement.

And she hadn't received it either. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
