Chapter 1585: The Fake Young Master Is About to Be Pampered by the Real Young Master 15

Jin Chen approached, facing Shi Qian's scrutinizing gaze without any panic or guilt, merely giving an indifferent, polite nod: "Madam Shi, I have never seen the so-called jade pendant of your eldest son."

Zhu Suisheng looked somewhat nervously as Jin Chen walked over, carefully observing Mom's expression.

"You say you haven't seen it, then you……" Shi Qian suddenly froze, staring blankly at Jin Chen's brows and eyes, her expression somewhat dazed.

She seemed to have been immobilized, only after a long while turning her head to glance at Zhou An, as if trying to find something.

It's just a pity, Zhou An bears no resemblance at all to Zhu Chengde, not even half.

But this young man before her……

Compared to Zhu Suisheng, who merely felt the brows and eyes were familiar, Shi Qian was extremely familiar with Zhu Chengde's youthful appearance, at least sixty percent similar.

"Mom… what's wrong?" Zhou An didn't know how much Jin Chen resembled Zhu Chengde; in fact, shortly after returning home he felt his aura clashed with Zhu Chengde's, each time suffering the discomfort of being seen through.

Shi Qian ignored him, slowly asking Jin Chen: "You just said you hadn't seen Xiao An's jade pendant; then this jade pendant on the ground…… is it yours?"

Jin Chen seemed not to notice her observation, nodding: "I've worn it since childhood; these copies are just in case I lose it."

He lowered his eyes, pulled up his coat sleeve, revealing the jade pendant hidden in his wrist, his voice dropping a bit.

"It's very important to me."

Zhu Suisheng suddenly looked at him, his heart feeling as if scalded by something, also that indescribable feeling, tentatively called… heartache.

Zhu Suisheng had never felt heartache for anyone, except for his repeated exceptions toward Jin Chen.

"No… not like that." Zhou An stepped forward on the shattered replicas on the ground, "You're lying; it's clearly you who stole mine, these are the proof!"

Handing the fabricated evidence to Zhou An, Jiang Wen felt a bit unsure inside.

Zhou An repeatedly said he was certain Jin Chen had stolen it, but he had left no evidence at the time, so he needed something that could prove it.

But Madam Shi's reaction was truly too strange.

Shi Qian finished looking at the evidence, yet couldn't help looking at Jin Chen, softly asking: "And you, do you have any evidence?"

Zhu Suisheng even felt nervous for this blockhead, secretly furrowing his brows, then suddenly his eyes lit up as he waved at Yu Xing and Yu Xing hiding by the door, eating melon seeds.

Yu Xing didn't want to go in, instinctively knowing there'd be nothing good, after all that little cousin had left him a psychological shadow not ordinary.

He then pinched Yu Xing's little bear hat ears, "It's your turn to go on stage."

Yu Xing roughly understood Zhu Suisheng's meaning, walked over to Jin Chen's side and said: "Madam Shi, I'm also in this dormitory; I can testify."

He rolled up his sleeve: "This jade pendant was a Christmas gift from Brother Chen, or I accompanied him to the Jade Stone Shop to make replicas."

"It's not at all the shop mentioned in the documents." Yu Xing pointed at the so-called evidence in Shi Qian's hand.

Zhou An: "……"

He looked at the jade pendant in Yu Xing's hand, his molars practically grinding.

What does Jin Chen treat the jade pendant as? Free rice? Anyone would give it away!

"This only proves Jin Chen made replicas more than once; who knows if you colluded for money? Yu Xing, helping Jin Chen like this, aren't you afraid of being fired too?"

Zhou An had become so flustered he spoke without thinking, completely failing to notice Shi Qian looking at him with eyes full of incomprehension and inquiry.

Yu Xing let out an "eh", incredulously pointing at his own nose: "Me?"

"I'm not afraid, after all the principal is my mom." Yu Xing gave a low-key smile.

Zhou An:???

His heart gave a huge jolt, almost unable to catch his breath.

Zhu Suisheng let out a soft "oh", relieved, and quietly gave Jin Chen a glance meaning "stay calm".

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today; I have a headache." Shi Qian rubbed her temples, "We'll continue handling this in a few days; Xiao An and Shengsheng, you must go home tonight!"

"Okay okay okay, Mom don't have a headache." Zhu Suisheng hugged her, nodded obediently with a coquettish tone: "I'll definitely go back tonight to cooperate with the investigation! Mom, don't take it out on me!"

Shi Qian then revealed a faint smile, tapping his forehead: "Mom won't hold it against you."

But she really had no mood; Shi Qian finally gave Jin Chen a complex look, then hurriedly left, not even hearing Zhou An call out again.

The living room quickly fell silent.

Zhu Suisheng poked Jin Chen's hand again, still keeping his earlier bright and soft smile: "Do you have a lot of doubts in your heart right now?"

Jin Chen nodded, returned the grip on Zhu Suisheng's fingers: "I think I need an explanation; can you tell me?"

"Sure," Zhu Suisheng smiled at him: "But you go out and wait for me; it'll be quick."

Jin Chen glanced at Zhou An, concealed the faint smile in his eyes, turned and left the dormitory, closing the door behind him.

Having a wife backing him, he obviously didn't need to do anything to Zhou An.

Zhu Suisheng slowly turned around, and while nobody had reacted yet, he fiercely slapped Zhou An across the face.

The angrier he was, the more brilliantly gorgeous his smile became.

"Are you crazy or what, taking Jin Chen's identity and still daring to frame him, or do you think I really won't do anything to you?"

That slap left everyone dazed, especially the few student council members over here.

Isn't Zhu Suisheng's statement just proving that Zhou An is the one who stole the jade pendant!

Zhou An's anger flared, his face burning with pain, his belly full of fury as he lashed out at Zhu Suisheng: "You're the crazy one! You care so much about Jin Chen, you're not afraid…… ah!"

His fist hadn't even swung out before Zhu Suisheng grabbed his wrist, twisted it hard outward, lifted his leg, bent the knee, and thrust at his most vulnerable spot; offering no resistance, he knelt and was pressed to the ground with a reverse hold.

"What shouldn't be said must rot firmly in the belly." Zhu Suisheng bent down, choked Zhou An's throat, his hand showing no mercy, his beautiful smile at this moment indescribably fierce, his voice soft enough to send chills down one's spine.

"Otherwise, I'll make you forever unable to speak."

"Ugh……"

Zhou An widened his eyeballs, his breath cut off, feeling only a burning fire in his chest, unbearable.

"Let him go!" Jiang Wen finally snapped out of his surprise, in a few moves released Zhu Suisheng's force, grabbed Zhou An's arm and pulled him over.

Zhu Suisheng looked slightly surprised at Jiang Wen, then lowered his gaze to the reddened back of his hand: "You hurt me."

"I'm going to file a complaint." Zhu Suisheng smirked wickedly: "You can't remain student council president."

Jiang Wen: "……" Are you thin-skinned?
