Chapter 76 I Trust Him
She was so lost in thought that Wen Jiao, who was standing beside her, kept coughing and said sincerely, "Bian Yue, you...you take it away, we are still here."

Only then did Bian Yue realize what she was doing.

She was extremely embarrassed and blamed herself for being so short-sighted that she lost her mind due to Shen Jinci's beauty!

Bian Yue looked up in panic and met the man's gaze. There was clearly a faint smile in the latter's eyes. The tenderness that spread out was enough to dispel the indifference.

Bian Yue’s ears turned red.

"I... I slept very well." Bian Yue's voice was dry, with obvious guilt in trying to change the subject.

"That's good," Shen Jinci seemed to have heard nothing. He touched Bian Yue's head and said in a restrained manner, "I have something to discuss with Shen Zhaoli. You and Wen Jiao can chat first. Shall we have lunch together later?"

"Okay, you guys go and get busy." Bian Yue moved closer to Wen Jiao.

Shen Jinci withdrew his hand and looked at Shen Zhaoli, who looked as if he was watching a show and was at ease.

With just one look, Shen Zhaoli understood. He got up lazily and followed Shen Jinci into the study.

The light in the study was dim. Shen Jinci sat down behind the desk and placed a stack of documents in front of Shen Zhaoli.

"These are the genealogy of the Shen family and the information of Lixing Group. You can take a good look at them when you have time." The man's voice was calm.

Shen Zhaoli's expression changed. He was startled and squinted at Shen Jinci. "What do you mean by letting me see these things?"

"Literally, don't you want to see it?" Shen Jinci's expression was dull. Without Bian Yue, he returned to his condescending and indifferent attitude.

But this time, Shen Zhaoli couldn't get angry.

After all, he was still young, and in front of Shen Jinci, he couldn't keep his cool, "What do you want to do by showing me these? Shen Jinci, don't play dumb with me here!"

"I'm going to let you return to your roots." The man said calmly.

Shen Zhaoli's expression was completely out of control. He could not hide his surprise and shock. "Are you crazy? You want me to return to my roots? Shen Jinci, do you know..."

"You are his illegitimate child, I know."

The tone was so cold that it seemed as if he was talking about someone else.

Shen Zhaoli clenched his fists and sneered, "That old man refused to recognize me until his death. Do you recognize me?"

"I think."

"why?"

"Because apart from me, you are the only one in the Shen family who has no ill will towards Bian Yue." Shen Jinci's tone was calm enough. He looked directly at Shen Zhaoli and spoke word by word: "Is this enough?"

"You hope I can help you take care of Bian Yue?" This answer still made Shen Zhaoli hard to believe. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Jinci, raising his voice: "Shen Jinci, just because of this? You can let me return to my roots?"

"Yes."

Shen Zhaoli gasped. He had been wandering outside when he was young, but he had always admired everything about the Shen family. Shen Zhaoli was quite concerned about his half-brother.

How he walked step by step to the top of Hong Kong, how he was so unattainable, indifferent and calm.

He has never made a wrong decision since he was a teenager.

What a calm mind and iron fist.

The Shen family spent all their efforts and used the entire family's resources to pave his way to success, making him the master of this city from the moment he cried as a baby.

Everything should be deduced according to the script exactly.

But now, he actually told me that he wanted to return to the Shen family for Bian Yue. Shen Zhaoli knew that this decision could not only be described as crazy no matter from which perspective.

"Have you ever thought about how you are going to explain this to the Shen family?" Shen Zhaoli's expression was tense. He said coldly, "I think you won't get any benefit from this matter except getting yourself into trouble."

"I've just told you the benefits. As for those people in the Shen family, I never need to explain anything to them." Shen Jinci pushed the file in front of Shen Zhaoli, looked at this beautiful and lovely brother, and said lightly: "Now, the choice is yours, do you want to come back?"

Shen Zhaoli never thought that this would happen so easily.

He still remembers that in order to allow him to return to the Shen family, his mother knelt in front of the so-called father and begged him to take her away.

But until his death, this man never let her return to the Shen family.

But now, it happened so easily.

Shen Zhaoli clenched his fists, his eyes reddened without him noticing. He looked at Shen Jinci directly and said in a hoarse voice: "Then my mother."

Shen Jinci looked at him expressionlessly.

Shen Zhaoli clenched his fists tighter. His expression was tense. After all, he was too young. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't help showing his vulnerability. "Can my mother...can she return to Hong Kong? She has been in the hospital for a long time and has always wanted to go home."

The deepest pain was that he was able to return to the Shen family at that time, but the price was that his mother could never set foot in Hong Kong again in her life.

After a brief silence, Shen Zhaoli's heart sank.

But Shen Jinci walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "Your mother has been seriously ill and in a coma. For safety reasons, I asked someone to bring her back by ferry. She will arrive in Victoria Harbor tomorrow evening."

Shen Zhaoli looked at Shen Jinci in surprise. The latter had already turned around and left the study.

Shen Zhaoli picked up a pile of documents on the table, his hands shaking.

He clenched his fist tightly, and the next moment, he couldn't control his emotions and tears fell heavily.
The classmates group had been filled with messages since the afternoon. After having dinner, Bian Yue and Wen Jiao went out together.

Before leaving, Shen Jinci took a coat and put it on Bian Yue, reminded her to be careful outside, and asked her what time the class reunion would end.

Bian Yue said it should be 10 o'clock.

Shen Jinci paused and said, "Then I'll pick you up when the time comes."

Bian Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

On the way, Wen Jiao recalled the interaction between Shen Jinci and Bian Yue just now, and couldn't help but sigh: "Bian Yue, why are you like a kitten in front of Shen Jinci?"

This was quite sharp, but Bian Yue showed an expression of serious thinking. She was quite serious and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's because I trust him very much."

"Does he make you believe him more than Li Siheng before?"

Bian Yue was stunned at first, then looked at Wen Jiao and nodded carefully: "Yes."

The class reunion is still held at the Hong Kong Hotel. It seems like there is some tacit understanding about this place. Whenever the young ladies have something important to do, they always like to come here.

In the top-floor box, Penny and Bai Wenting sat together, and the others were Bian Yue and Wen Jiao’s high school classmates.

As expected, Zhuang Jie Ning was also there.

Almost everyone who was not single brought their boyfriends. A rich girl looked at Zhuang Jie Ning excitedly and asked curiously, "Jie Ning, you have a good relationship with Bian Yue. Ask Bian Yue if Mr. Shen will come today?"

Miss Zhuang was dignified and measured in her actions. She said softly, "This is someone else's family affair. Wouldn't it be too gossipy for me to ask about it?"
