Chapter 81: Chen Shen?

Since Shen You woke up, Xie Xiao showed up every day to bring her food and drinks, and chat with her.

Zhu Ge would occasionally appear and tell her some new things that happened in class, making her laugh uncontrollably.

As for Huo Xiao, ever since Shen You woke up, Huo Xiao seemed to have disappeared again.

When Shen You was lying in bed alone, she would occasionally think if Huo Xiao could sense that she intended to cling to him?

Was he… afraid?

Shen You was amused by her own thoughts. However, there was also another kind of emotion gradually sprouting in the bottom of her heart.

She felt a little depressed! She was lying on the bed idly every day. Xie Xiao kindly bought her a bunch of newspapers.

Flipping through the newspapers every day, her days were calm and dull but bearable.

Ever since Li Ru and Shen Po came over that day, no one from the Shen family came to visit her again.

Was she disappointed? No.

Was she angry? It didn’t seem like it!

Shen You didn’t know why she was so calm. It was probably because she had been disappointed before, so she no longer had any expectation!

When she was flipping through the newspaper, she suddenly found a news about the Shen family.

Shen You looked at it carefully. It was actually the news about Shen Jiao’s engagement.

And the person who was engaged to Shen Jiao was someone that Shen You knew!

But…

“Isn’t this person… Uncle Chen?” Shen You frowned as she looked at the person in the photo. Then, she shifted her gaze to the text at the side.

She read the text carefully. Was Shen Jiao really engaged to Chen Shen?

This Chen Shen was Shen Hao’s good friend. Their friendship probably started since they were young kids!

Both of them were the descendants of the middle class. They grew up and studied together.

Subsequently Shen Hao got married and had children. With the help of Li Ru’s family, his business was doing well.

Chen Shen, on the other hand, seemed to have been depressed for some time. They did not have much contact for a long time.

It was not until Shen You returned to the Shen family that the two of them connected again.

In Shen You’s impression, Chen Shen seemed to have a fiancée.

They loved each other dearly. However, not long after Shen You came to the Shen family, Chen Shen’s fiancée died in an accident.

And because of this accident, Chen Shen received a large sum of insurance compensation.

At the same time, the company run by his fiancée was also taken over by Chen Shen. From then on, Chen Shen gradually became rich and close to Shen Hao again.

However, it was incredible that Shen Jiao was actually engaged to Chen Shen!

Shen You stared at the newspaper with disbelief written all over on her face.

The moment Xie Xiao walked into the ward and saw Shen You’s dazed look, she walked over directly and slapped Shen You on her back.

“Hey! What happened to you?” Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and was a little worried.

Shen You retracted her stiff chin and looked at Xie Xiao. “You know that Shen Jiao is engaged, right?”

“Yes! I heard that her fiancé likes her very much! It’s just that he’s a little old!” Xie Xiao told Shen You the gossip that she had heard.

“A little… old?” Shen You sounded very strange.

“Yes! I heard that he was about thirty or forty years old.” Xie Xiao pouted.

“Perhaps, age is not a concern in love!” Xie Xiao sighed.

The corner of Shen You’s mouth twitched. “But why did she suddenly get engaged?”

“I was curious, too! Initially, looking at her, I thought that she wouldn’t marry anyone other than Zhao Nan!” Xie Xiao shook her head. She was also puzzled.

“Has she been to school recently?” Shen You asked again.

“No! She hasn’t been to school since she got engaged!” Xie Xiao frowned. “Did something happen?”

Shen You thought for a moment and asked, “Will Zhu Ge come today?”

Xie Xiao heard Shen You’s question and couldn’t help but scoff. “How would I know? It’s his freedom to go anywhere!”

Shen You looked at Xie Xiao with confusion and asked tentatively, “He made you angry?”

Xie Xiao snorted, “No! How could a young master make me angry!”

Shen You smiled awkwardly and could not help but curse in her heart, “This is clearly anger!”

Since Xie Xiao was unwilling to tell, Shen You could only wait for Zhu Ge to come and ask him if he knew any insider information.

That night, Zhu Ge brought a few small cakes to the hospital. “Idol, look what I brought for you!”

When Xie Xiao saw Zhu Ge coming, she turned around and walked out. Looking at Xie Xiao’s back as she was walking out, Zhu Ge didn’t say anything.
