Chapter 438: Stunning Lead Singer & Cool Guy Rapper 23

If your brain's not right, go to a mental hospital; don't embarrass yourself here.

Jin Chen's tone was extremely cold; the him standing before Yu Jinzhou seemed like a completely different person.

Ah—

Yu Shenshen was thrown off balance, nearly falling; Cen Wu Bai hurriedly steadied her, glaring at Jin Chen, "What do you want?!"

The staff present were all frightened by this scene, they glanced at each other, planning to leave amid the chaos.

Just as he turned around, Yu Jinzhou saw the logo on his attire.

"Song Xing Entertainment's exclusive photographer?" he murmured, eyes glinting, "You plan to use this place's video to glorify how great your kindness is?"

"Yu Shenshen, using me isn't enough; you still intend to exploit the children at the welfare institute."

Even though Yu Jinzhou was already completely disappointed in him, he still felt surprised and cold-hearted at this moment.

"You clearly know that if this goes viral, how many fans and clout-chasing influencers will come to snap photos, disrupting the children's daily lives."

What Yu Shenshen hated most was seeing his hypocritical face; she grabbed an object from the table and smashed it to the ground, shouting, "Shut up!"

"Yes, I know, so what? Yu Jinzhou! You think you're so great, aren't you just a bar singer?"

The last half of his sentence was shouted out as the tabletop ornament shattered.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Yu Jinzhou's face turned pale, his unfinished words swallowed back.

Cen Wu Bai hadn't expected Yu Shenshen to say such things in this situation; although he didn't have a good impression of Yu Jinzhou either, after all, walls have ears.

He had just tried to pull the overly impulsive Yu Shenshen back when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a phantom rush over.

Jin Chen's speed was simply too fast.

Before anyone could react, Yu Shenshen was hit with a straight punch to the cheek, then choked and shoved against the wall.

"You talk too much."

Jin Chen's eyes were deep and dark; his gaze at Yu Shenshen was no different from looking at a corpse.

"Save..."

Yu Shenshen drew a deep breath, his mind dazed, his face already swelling.

"Let him go, you madman!" Cen Wu Bai, frightened, lunged forward to stop him, shouting, "I'll call the police!"

"You can try."

Jin Chen gripped hard, turned his head to sneer at Cen Wu Bai, his brows full of menace, "Guess who'll be the first to get hurt."

"You..."

"Chen'er, let him go."

Yu Jinzhou calmed down, his voice extremely soft, without any blame.

Yet inexplicably, one could hear the fragility in his tone.

Jin Chen flung the person aside, not even glancing back, quickly walked over to Yu Jinzhou and embraced him.

"Take your people and get out; if I see the video on the hot search," he said, his tone pausing slightly as he revealed an inscrutable smile, "you won't want to know the consequences."

After saying that, it seemed he thought of something else, pulling a stack of cash from his personal bag and tossing it onto Yu Shenshen.

"By the way, medical expenses."

A memory from deep within was stirred; Yu Shenshen stared at the scattered money, his gaze toward Jin Chen shifting from rage to utter terror.

He... he actually really knows those things!

He couldn't even cover the wounds on his face and neck; Yu Shenshen trembled as he crawled up from the ground, unable to utter a word.

"Stop, pick up the money, then get lost."

Jin Chen's tone was extremely vicious, his eyes like those looking at a clown.

Cen Wu Bai could no longer contain himself, shouting that he would call the police.

Who would have thought that those words would sting Yu Shenshen like a stab; he screamed, "No calling the police!!!"

Under the astonished gazes of Cen Wu Bai and the staff, Yu Shenshen trembled as he gathered all the money, feeling as if he'd been thrown back into those nights at the club.

"Shenshen! You..."

"Bai, let's go... I don't like this place." Yu Shenshen wept, pleading with Cen Wu Bai, shaking his head pitifully, "I want to go back to the dormitory."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Cen Wu Bai didn't understand why, but seeing Yu Shenshen's condition, he also didn't want to stay any longer.

A few staff members followed behind the two as they left.

As the main gate closed, a glint of light flickered on the camera.

【Host, all filmed footage has been deleted!】

【Well done.】

Jin Chen's expression softened, he turned and embraced his own wife to comfort her.

"Nothing will happen."

Yu Jinzhou leaned tightly into his embrace, nodding in response.

"Zhouzhou isn't upset, right? Weren't we supposed to come back to the welfare institute today to cheerfully face Grandma Dean?"

"Hmm..." Yu Jinzhou responded again, his voice slightly trembling, not leaving his embrace.

As if drawing a sense of safety.

Jin Chen's heart went soft, his palm rubbing the back of his neck, as if soothing, yet also as if telling Yu Jinzhou.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"No matter what happened in the past, now and always I will stay by your side."

This embrace lasted a long time, yet it was the fastest for Yu Jinzhou to detach from his emotional memory.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 65!】

Only after Xiao Ji knocked on the cafeteria room door did the two separate.

"Brother Zhouzhou, have the few black-clad monsters that Brother Shenshen left gone?" Xiao Ji opened the door a crack and poked his head in.

"They've left."

Yu Jinzhou took a deep breath to calm his emotions, lifted a smile at him, and asked, "Have you finished breakfast?"

"Finished! Grandma told Brother Zhouzhou and this older brother to go look for her under the osmanthus tree!"

"Okay."

——

The osmanthus tree in the courtyard has been there since Yu Jinzhou first had memory.

Every autumn it blooms with many golden, plump osmanthus flowers; the whole Fuliyuan is enveloped in their fragrance. Sometimes after an autumn rain falls, the next day the ground is covered with fallen blossoms, and Dean Grandma will collect the osmanthus to make biscuits.

The scent of flowers, fine rain, and warm fresh biscuits make up Yu Jinzhou's childhood memory of autumn.

Since he was very young, he came to Fuliyuan, not knowing who his parents were; like all the children there, his only relatives were Dean Grandma and the security guard grandfather.

"Grandma."

Looking at Dean's stooped back as she sat on the bench under the tree, Yu Jinzhou felt a slight sourness in his nose and softly called out.

"Hey, kids, come sit."

Dean responded, withdrawing her gaze from the group of playing children, and patted the opposite rattan chair.

"Has Shenshen gone with that group?"

Yu Jinzhou sat down, nodded, and advised, "Grandma, from now on… don't let him come back."

Dean shook her head and sighed, "This is also his home—how did it become like this?"

She murmured hoarsely, "Forgot where she came from… lost in the entertainment industry."

Yu Jinzhou didn't say that Shenshen had already changed long ago; he merely echoed Dean's words and then introduced the person beside him, Jin Chen.
