Chapter 272: Why Are You Here?
"Well, that's my good sister." Shen Ruochu smiled slightly, reached out and touched Betty's hair, as if the relationship between the two was very close. But Betty's heart was still secretly unhappy, she always felt that there was something to panic, but then she thought about it carefully, maybe she was not happy with Shen Shi's enthusiasm, after all, she had just recognized her sister, and the next second she immediately planned how to calculate others, which didn't seem to be a too moral thing.
Shen Ruochu briefly asked Betty about her recent activities and Shen Shi's condition.
"I did know that she had depression and changed her name to Mu Yan, because Miss Anna told me. By the way, I have the opportunity to introduce you to Miss Anna, she is a woman with much higher taste than Shen Shi, a height that you and I can't match. Shen Ruochu stroked her hair slightly, and when she mentioned Anna, the envy and jealousy in her eyes made Betty see it clearly.
"I'm not interested in that kind of person, I just want to see my dad when I have time. I hope you will grant me this condition. Betty slowly stood up and sighed.
Shen Ruochu seemed to have a determined look of victory, and looked at her with a smile: "Of course I will, but I have one more thing to remind you." I've checked what's going on in your house. β
Betty's steps to leave suddenly stopped, only to feel a chill in her back. She frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at Shen Ruochu in front of her: "What did you say?" β
Shen Ruochu smiled, shook his head slightly, and looked smug: "I said that I checked the situation in your house. β
"You, what did you do to my family?" Betty suddenly became emotional, and almost immediately walked over and grabbed her by the sleeve, and questioned in a low voice.
Shen Ruochu smiled indifferently, raising his brows very proudly, as if he had received some important information, looking at it made Betty's heart feel cold.
"What, what are you afraid of? Is there something that hasn't been explained to me properly? Shen Ruochu looked at her with a smile and a sneer as if he had grabbed her handle all of a sudden, his eyes were cold and cold, as if there was a murderous aura that people couldn't get close to.
Betty's face turned a little gloomy, and after several struggles and mental activities, she finally seemed to choose to accept her fate: "I know, in fact, I do have an adoptive mother who lives on the other side of the old mountain, but I didn't tell you at first." β
"Why didn't you tell me? Well? Betty, don't you still believe me as a sister? Shen Ruochu's voice became cold little by little, seeping into the bone marrow, "I originally wanted you to say it in person, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary." β
"I'm sorry." Betty lowered her head slightly, the expression on her face was still hard to hide her guilt, "I should tell you well, that's right, I do have a mother on the other side of the old mountain, but our affairs have nothing to do with him." β
After she finished speaking, she coldly raised her head and looked at Shen Ruochu in front of her, as if she was waiting for her attitude, as if she was afraid that she would do something to admire. However, Shen Ruochu smiled faintly, his face showed inexplicable excitement, and looking at it made Betty's heart slightly cold.
"Betty, there are some things that might not have been so serious if you had told me in the first place. I don't want our relationship to be so stiff. β
Seeing Shen Ruochu's face become indifferent little by little, a trace of panic suddenly appeared in Betty's heart, she looked at the woman in front of her with fear, and her face became hideous little by little. Betty's shoulders couldn't help but tremble, and she looked at the woman in front of her in fear: "You, what do you want?" β
"That's it, I see that your current surgery and medical expenses in the hospital are quite high, and you shouldn't have time to take care of your elderly motherβ" Shen Ruochu looked at her with a treacherous smile.
Betty's heart was half cold, and she clenched her fists hard: "What the hell do you want?" β
"I think you should know." Shen Ruochu's face also turned cold, and the eyes that looked at her were fierce and unambiguous, "Your mother stays in that kind of place all the year round, doing hard work, do you really feel at ease?" Wouldn't it be nice to give her to me to raise? It just so happened that I lacked my mother's love, and I had contact with my aunt, who liked me very much, and she had already taken the car to my place today. β
Shen Ruochu's words were light and light, but Betty's face suddenly became cold: "You, what did you say!" You said Grandma, she's ......"
Betty didn't fluctuate emotionally and raised her eyes slightly, looking at her with a sly smile in her eyes: "What, do you feel uncomfortable?" So, whether or not to tell me everything you know, you have to have a plan in your own mind. β
Betty clenched her fists, and at this moment, she regretted joining Shen Ruochu's camp. But if you think about it carefully, no matter what, she still has to be tortured like this by Shen Ruochu, and the existence of Grandma will be exposed sooner or later.
She clenched her teeth slightly: "Of course I will follow you loyally, you can rest assured of that." β
"I'm sorry, I can't rest assured." Shen Ruochu shook his head slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "I can't trust anyone now, I've been betrayed for a long time, and I don't have the ability to be naΓ―ve and innocent for a long time." β
"I see." Betty lowered her head and closed her eyes, she knew in her heart what a shrewd woman Shen Ruochu was, and it was useless to explain to her no matter how much she explained. She sighed, looked down at the cup of tea in front of her, which had already been cold, and closed her eyes forcefully, "Then I'll go first, I have nothing to say to you." β
"Remember to work hard for me, I won't treat your grandma badly." Shen Ruochu smiled provocatively behind her back and said a word, which made Betty's grip on the doorknob a little heavier, but at this moment she was helpless.
"If something happens to Grandma, I won't let you feel better, Shen Ruochu, you have to remember." Betty coldly dropped these words, turned and disappeared into the doorway.
Shen Ruochu sneered lightly, lowered her head and took a sip of cold tea, but at this moment, her eyes were even colder and piercing than the tea.
Betty was in a trance when she walked out of the room, she returned to the room, and made a phone call with trembling fingers in a hurry, and no one answered the phone on Lao Shan's side for a long time. She dialed over and over again as if she was crazy, but she couldn't get through, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
But suddenly, a familiar voice came from the other end: "Hey? β
When the call was connected, Betty sat up from the bed almost immediately, but after hearing the voice, she fell into a boundless loss.
"Sister-in-law Zhen, it's you." Betty said in a cold voice, very depressed.
"yes, Betty, what's going on? This afternoon, a few strong-looking men took Grandma away, all of them driving luxury cars, but Grandma didn't resist, and it didn't seem to be a bad person. Sister-in-law Zhen is the nanny in Grandma's house, frowning and saying carefully.
Betty only felt very tired now, closed her eyes slightly and sighed: "Sister-in-law Zhen, don't tell me yet, I feel very tired, those people are not good people, you stay at home now, and then wait for my news." After the order, she hung up the phone in a bad mood.
In the next second, when her emotions were not completely cleaned up, the girl's voice suddenly came from the door, it was Shen Shi: "Betty, are you sleeping?" β
Betty was startled, brushed her somewhat messy hair hard, immediately stood up, walked to the door and opened the door, looked at Shen Shi in front of her tiredly, and smiled embarrassedly: "It turned out that you came." No, I'm playing on my phone, waiting for you to call me to dinner. β
"You're hungry, aren't you?" Shen Shi looked completely tidy up, and Betty seemed a little messy in comparison. And Qin Rufeng, who seemed to be following his personal bodyguard at any time, also nodded slightly at Betty. Betty carefully dodged Qin Rufeng's eyes, and at this moment she was still a little weak in her heart.
"You clean up first, I'll be waiting for you at the door." Shen Shi didn't care about anything, smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and closed the door for her.
Betty watched the door close in front of her, sighed slightly, took a deep breath, and sorted out her mood with an ugly face.
"Didn't you notice Betty was a little strange today?" Qin Ru said to Shen Shi with the sound of bagpipes next to him, of course, his volume was so low that Betty couldn't hear it.
"Is there one?" Shen Shi looked up at him puzzled, and shrugged his shoulders slightly, "I think it's okay." However, don't pay too much attention to her, she has just come from the line of life and death, and she is probably exhausted. β
"Yes." Qin Rufeng nodded calmly, feeling that her words seemed to be reasonable.
Shen Shi sighed slightly and shook his head, his face was a little helpless: "However, Betty's matter can't be told to others so quickly, I'm afraid that some people will do to her if they find out......"
"I've got it covered." Before Shen Shi's words could be finished, the door opened, and Betty stood at the door in a simple outfit, smiling at Shen Shi and Qin Rufeng.
Shen Shi immediately stopped his words, and said to her with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the Western restaurant for dinner today." β
When the three of them came to the Western restaurant, they obviously didn't book a room, but the waiter had already greeted them warmly: "How is it, may I ask if the three are Miss Shen, Miss Betty and Mr. Qin?" β
"Yes." Shen Shi's face was a little surprised.
"There is a Mr. Jiang who has already booked a seat for you in advance." The waiter said with a smile, bent down slightly and invited the three of them into the VIP private room.
Shen Shi, Qin Rufeng and Betty followed the waiter in a little dazed, pushed open the door, and found Jiang Jueli and Anna sitting in the private room, bowing their heads and drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
Shen Shi looked at Anna in front of him, his brows furrowed instantly, as if he was looking at the elegant and intellectual woman in front of him as if he was facing a great enemy: "Why are you also here?" β
Anna raised her head a little proudly and glanced at Shen Shi, but did not speak. Jiang Jueli took over strangely: "Anna just arrived in Paris today, and she heard that you are also there, and she wants to invite you to a meal." β
Shen Shi pursed his lips slightly, and looked at Jiang Jueli in front of him with an unhappy face. What exactly does this man mean? It's not that he doesn't know the grudge between her and Anna!
