Chapter 68 - 68 67 Youre Using the Beauty Trap Strategy

Chapter 68: Chapter 67: You’re Using the Beauty Trap Strategy Chapter 68: Chapter 67: You’re Using the Beauty Trap Strategy Shen Jinghe was a qualified listener.

Wenyan talked for over half an hour, and besides frowning more intensely and occasionally nodding, he surprisingly didn’t interrupt Wenyan with any questions in the middle of her story.

This made Wenyan increasingly nervous.

She felt as if she was in a job interview, and the interviewer seemed uninterested in her, just politely waiting for her to finish so he could wave her away.

So after she finished talking, Wenyan’s spirit immediately deflated.

“Do you think I’m making a mountain out of a molehill and deliberately slandering Shen Zhirou?”

Shen Jinghe was silent, his brow furrowing even tighter.

Wenyan had anticipated that this might be the outcome.

But she thought maybe there was still a chance to salvage the situation.

She hurriedly opened the photo album on her phone to show Shen Jinghe.

“Really, I’m not lying to you, look here, there are photos of my diary, I could have brought the original diary for you to see, but as I just said, my diary was torn up by Shen Zhirou, so now there’s no evidence left.”

Shen Jinghe reached out and took Wenyan’s phone.

Wenyan anxiously watched his face, trying not to miss any expression on it.

He became increasingly serious as he looked through the diary entries, though it was unclear which page he was on.

If one were to exaggerate a bit, it would be the face of an old man on the metro intent on his phone.

Finally, Shen Jinghe opened his mouth to speak.

He stared at Wenyan, his eyebrows so tightly knitted they could almost kill a mosquito:

“You’re saying Shen Zhirou has feelings for me? The kind of liking between a man and a woman?”

Wenyan, with a shocked face: “???!!! Big brother, is that your focus???

“After talking myself hoarse for more than half an hour, that’s the point you latch onto?

“Right now, I just want to know, do you believe me?”

Shen Jinghe, with a furrowed brow, handed the phone back to Wenyan.

“I think that’s important. If what you’re saying is true, then there’s definitely something wrong with her.”

“So do you think what I’m saying is true? Of course, I’m not referring to her liking you, but everything I just mentioned, my doubts about her true identity, what’s your take on that?”

“Do you want the truth?”

“Of course!”

“When she came back, mom and dad had already done a paternity test with her, and as you’ve seen, she looks a lot like mom. Including some major memories from childhood, she got them right. So based on these facts, I think your doubts are unfounded.”

“Alright then,” Wenyan visibly wilted, “sorry for the bother, thank you for your precious time, sweet dreams.”

Having said that, Wenyan stood up, ready to leave.

But it was at this moment that Shen Jinghe called out to her.

“Wait a minute, I haven’t finished speaking.”

“What, you have more lies to tell?”

“They’re not exactly lies, but you could say they are some of my intuitions.”

“What intuitions?” Wenyan suddenly felt there might be a turning point, instantly invigorated, and sat back down.

Shen Jinghe was amused by her instantly changed demeanor.

“You’re quite something. You’re not that young anymore, don’t wear your emotions on your sleeve like that.”

“Hehe, we’re all family after all, no need to be so formal, it’s not like I’m an outsider. Come on, spill it, what’s your intuition, second brother?”

“Just like you! I knew she wasn’t my sister from the first day she came back.”

“How so?” Wenyan’s eyes widened with anticipation.

But Shen Jinghe immediately doused her with a bucket of cold water.

“No explanation, I’ve said it’s intuition.”

Wenyan: [Resigned, at least my intuition is backed by specific events, his intuition is the real deal!]

Shen Jinghe glanced at her: “What’s that look for? Do you still want my help or not? You were so eager to call me back, you must have wanted me to help you investigate.”

Wenyan immediately put on a smile: “Right, right, right, I’m limited in capability, finances, and connections, many leads I can’t delve into deeply.”

Shen Jinghe raised an eyebrow: “Hmm, looks like someone is going to owe me a favor again.”

“But you can’t say that, Second Brother, no matter whether the person at home now is real or fake, Shen Zhirou is still your biological sister, it’s not just my problem.”

“Hmm, sitting on a plane and car for several hours, my shoulders are so sore.”

“Really? Shall I give them a rub for you?”

“Sure.”

“Alright! How’s this pressure, comfortable?”

“Not bad, a bit more force.”

“Okay!”

Wenyan was all smiles on the surface, but inwardly she was cursing Shen Jinghe out.

[What the heck, how did my actions outpace my brain, why am I giving him a massage, she’s not my biological sister]

[Wah, damn it, I’ve been played by Shen Jinghe, this cad, revenge, one day I’ll get my revenge]

[Just you wait, Shen Jinghe! One day you’ll have to return the favor and give me a massage]

Shen Jinghe smiled. There was no way he was going to massage her shoulders. It served her right for always mocking him in her mind; it was her turn to massage him!

However, Shen Jinghe didn’t overdo it with Wenyan.

Before she went too far in her internal rampage, Shen Jinghe proactively called a halt.

“So what’s your plan? Let’s hear it.”

The moment she was freed, Wenyan immediately sat back across from Shen Jinghe.

“To do another paternity test! If my suspicions are true, then the previous paternity test must have been tampered with.”

Shen Jinghe nodded: “Then go get her biological samples. Haven’t you been out of work recently, idling at home every day? Search for a few strands of her fallen hair in her room while she’s out.”

“Can’t do, her room is always locked. Whenever she leaves, she’ll definitely lock the door. Plus, she cleans her room herself, the cleaning lady has never been in there.”

“??? That’s a bit unusual.”

“According to Sister Zhang, it’s a habit she developed from her adoptive family. Did she do this as a child too?”

“I don’t think so. I forget, who remembers such trivial things. What about her dining utensils and water glass?”

Wenyan shook her head: “Someone takes care of the dishes, it would be weird for us to blatantly take them, and during meals, our parents are watching. Besides, the dishes are washed together, they all look the same, you can’t tell them apart. The cup she uses for drinking, I’ve observed, is also locked in her room.”

“And these days she’s been staying at her foster mother’s, besides coming back to sleep, she doesn’t eat at home.”

“I declared war on her last time, she definitely won’t let me into her room again, so next time she comes back, you go to her room.”

Shen Jinghe: “Me? And the reason would be?”

“Just make something up, she likes you, if you knock on her door with some food, drink, or a little gift, she’ll definitely let you in.”

“Your method is really crappy.”

Wenyan beamed: “Then may I ask, Second Brother, what’s your brilliant idea?”
