Chapter 213 - 213 213 Third Brother Has a Rumor
Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Third Brother Has a Rumor Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Third Brother Has a Rumor Shen Jishi knew that no matter what he said, no one would stand by his side.
He cast a pleading look at Shen Zhongshuang, hoping to find an ally.
“Second brother, you’re a doctor. How serious do you think President Pei’s illness is?”
Shen Zhongshuang lifted his eyelids and glanced, “President Pei just has a fever, right? The wound is treated well, having some porridge is a good idea.”
Was this still his second brother?
Was he actually concerned about what Pei Jue should eat?
But was the focus now really about what Pei Jue should or shouldn’t eat?
Shen Zhongshuang picked up the soup beside him and placed it in front of Su Mi, “Eat this, it’s good for the lungs.”
“Thank you, Doctor Shen.”
Shen Jishi: “?”
Zuo Wanjun watched Qingwu and Pei Jue, feeling very relieved.
It was a good thing that the kids got along well!
But seeing these few rascals made her feel annoyed. Zuo Wanjun looked at her two sons, “This year, you two also bring me back a daughter-in-law! Otherwise, don’t come home!”
With Shen Boyi and Shen Shushan not around, all the pressure fell on Shen Zhongshuang and Shen Jishi.
Shen Zhongshuang raised his hands in surrender, “Mom, big brother doesn’t have a partner yet, you should urge him first!”
“All of you are the same, none of you think about escaping!”
Shen Jishi immediately stood up, “I’m full! There are several divorce cases today, I need to go to court!”
Zuo Wanjun puzzled, “Divorce? Aren’t you a criminal lawyer? How are you handling divorce cases?”
Shen Jishi kept a straight face.
“Oh, mainly because the division of assets turned into a criminal case, I’m off now!”
Shen Jishi grabbed the bread and milk from the table, leaving the Shen Family without looking back.
Shen Zhongshuang held his forehead with his hands, “Mom, I’ve done more than twenty hours of surgery without a break, my head hurts a lot! I’m going to sleep now!”
Zuo Wanjun’s attention was instantly diverted.
“You child, as a doctor you don’t even take care of your own health. Go sleep.”
Shen Shaojia immediately focused on eating, lowering her presence to avoid being noticed by Zuo Wanjun.
Zuo Wanjun’s eyes fell on Shen Shaojia.
“Shaojia…”
“Mom! I’m going to the lab to work tomorrow, so I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Grandpa Xuan asked me over to his house.”
Shen Shaojia’s sudden vacation was indeed coming to an end.
There was still a lot of work waiting for her in the lab, and she was concerned about her data. If she stayed at home any longer, she figured she’d become a nuisance even a dog would shun.
She didn’t want to be set up for matchmaking by Zuo Wanjun so soon.
Zuo Wanjun shook her head at the children’s fleeing backs.
“These kids, not a single one lets you rest easy. I even saw some gossip about Shushan yesterday, wanted to ask him about it!”
But Shen Shushan never returned home, always saying he was filming or catching up with schedules.
Su Mi was surprised, “Gossip? With whom?”
Zuo Wanjun grinned and pulled out her phone to show the screenshots she had prepared to Qingwu and Su Mi.
Qingwu recognized the familiar smiling face in the photo, “Yuheng? Isn’t she filming with third brother?”
“Yes, she even visited home two days ago.”
Chu Yuheng met Zuo Wanjun when Master Hai Xin was betting on stones at the Shen Family, so she was a familiar face.
Zuo Wanjun excitedly said, “Qingwu, you don’t know, your third brother has never courted rumors with actresses. This is the first time, and even his company hasn’t denied it. Honey, do you have any information on this actress? I couldn’t find anything!”
No wonder Zuo Wanjun was so concerned.
Shen Shushan despised using actress gimmicks to boost his profile. Since his debut, he had zero rumors. Finally, a rumor emerged, and he still hadn’t debunked it; Zuo Wanjun was thrilled!
Chu Yuheng’s debut materials were made up by herself. The past with Beidou Star could only be buried, and even if Zuo Wanjun found something, it wouldn’t be of much use.
Qingwu thought a while and directly dialed Chu Yuheng in front of Zuo Wanjun to ask about the rumors.
“Ha? Don’t joke around. If I were to trap a man into marriage, I wouldn’t waste a page of my household register. It’d be better to use it as an ad banner, wouldn’t it? It’s probably Po Jun and the others buying the trending search. I don’t need this kind of gimmick for publicity.”
“But I did hear your third brother answer a phone call on set, vaguely catching the word ‘pregnant.’ Is it possible your third brother has a partner and hasn’t told you all?”
Zuo Wanjun was so shocked by this that her chopsticks fell to the floor!
“I have to find third brother and ask. How can such important news be hidden from the family!”
Qingwu couldn’t stop Zuo Wanjun and Shen Dongli, so she rubbed her temples and asked Chu Yuheng to be careful when she saw Zuo Wanjun on set, making sure nothing went wrong.
Elder Shen coughed twice, his gaze falling on Su Mi.
“I see you and Qingwu are about the same age. Shouldn’t you be going to school? Grandpa can help you arrange it.”
Su Mi quickly shook her hands to refuse, “No no no, Grandpa Shen, when I was in school, my grades for each subject matched my phone number. The only reason I went abroad was because my English was head and shoulders above the other subjects.”
“Oh? How much did you score?”
“Thirty-five.”
The children of the Shen Family were academic overachievers from an early age.
Elder Shen had obviously never seen a child with grades this poor, and for a moment, he forgot to manage his expression, staring at Su Mi wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
If thirty-five was leading by a long shot, just how bad were the other subjects!
Su Mi was not cut out for schooling, and just the thought of it made her head hurt!
Fortunately, upon hearing such an overwhelmingly excellent score, Elder Shen immediately gave up on the idea of having Su Mi attend school.
After the meal, Su Mi returned to the Black Dragon Gang, while Qingwu watched Pei Jue, who was still lingering in her room and refused to leave.
“You should go back and rest.”
“My home is too desolate, not like a real home. I really like how lively my fiancée’s family is.”
Qingwu thought about the cold and empty Pei Mansion. Although luxurious and opulent, it didn’t have the warmth of a home.
“I’ll arrange a guest room for you.”
“But I just want to stay in my fiancée’s room.”
Qingwu looked at the man before her, acting spoiled, and frowned, “Pei Jue, does your grandfather know you have such thick skin?”
Pei Jue wore a soft smile, “My grandfather might just think my skin isn’t thick enough. If thicker skin means being able to keep those you want to keep, I wouldn’t mind.”
Qingwu looked helplessly at him.
She then thought of Elder Pei, who kept winking and implying with suggestive looks, and indeed, the old gentleman wished Pei Jue had thicker skin…
“I need to go to the airport to pick someone up today. You can rest here.”
Pei Jue grabbed Qingwu’s hand, his eyes soft and wet, “I’ll go with you.”
Whoever she was picking up personally must be important to her.
“Your body isn’t fit to go out.”
“It’s fine, I want to be with you.”
Pei Jue held Qingwu’s hand and planted a gentle kiss on the back of it.
“If you are unwilling to share your life with me, at least don’t refuse to let me be part of it.”
Qingwu lowered her head, looking at him, her lashes casting shadows like crow feathers.
“Pei Jue, didn’t you say you would tell me when we first met?”
