Chapter 201 - 201 174 Shen Jinghe Eavesdropping_3

Chapter 201: Chapter 174 Shen Jinghe Eavesdropping_3 Chapter 201: Chapter 174 Shen Jinghe Eavesdropping_3 “It’s really warm today, totally doesn’t feel like winter. The wind on my face is actually quite nice. Hmm, it would be perfect with a cup of hot tea right now.”

Her words had barely left her lips when the elevator door opened.

To her surprise, it was Mrs. Zhang holding two cups of hot drinks.

“Mrs. Zhang! How did you know I was craving something warm?”

Mrs. Zhang smiled, glanced toward Shen Jingxiu’s direction, and then said to Wenyan, “It’s your favorite flower tea.”

Wenyan immediately turned to look at Shen Jingxiu, “Oh~ so that’s what you and Mrs. Zhang were talking about just now, big brother, you’re so thoughtful.”

Shen Jingxiu just pursed his lips, not really responding to that.

He picked up the tea that was meant for him and stood next to Wenyan.

Shen Jinghe came back in the company’s car designated for the studio.

Since he was always traveling for work, he seldom drove his own car.

Besides, he disliked having the driver park the car right at the doorstep.

Thus, his return did not alert anyone.

Upon his arrival, he saw two people on the third-floor terrace.

Even though both were facing away from him, leaning against the railing, Shen Jinghe recognized them at once.

One was Wenyan, and the other was Shen Jingxiu.

Actually, his return today wasn’t to settle scores with Wenyan, nor was it a must to see Shen Pili.

He just had some things he wanted to ask Wenyan clearly.

About her true feelings, about some of her intuitions…

He had wanted to ask Wenyan these questions while they were filming in the snowy mountains, but it wasn’t until today that he found the opportunity.

But now he was curious.

What were Wenyan and Shen Jingxiu talking about on the terrace so late at night?

What could it be that they couldn’t discuss inside the house, or wouldn’t they just go to Shen Jingxiu’s study?

Suddenly, a thought crossed Shen Jinghe’s mind.

Could it be that he wasn’t the only one who could hear Wenyan’s thoughts?

Maybe Shen Jingxiu could as well?

Upon reflection, Shen Jingxiu’s attitude towards Wenyan did seem different from before.

Just like his own attitude towards Wenyan, there was indeed a drastic change.

And the beginning of his change in perspective started when he began hearing her inner voice.

So maybe Shen Jingxiu had the same experience?

As if led by an invisible force, Shen Jinghe walked up to the third-floor terrace.

Shen Jingxiu took a sip from his cup of tea and asked Wenyan.

“You’ve had your tea, so what did you want to talk about?”

Wenyan took a contented sip of her hot tea and said, “I wanted to ask about your assistant.”

“My assistant?” Shen Jingxiu seemed puzzled, “What about him?”

“Oh, come on, big brother, I haven’t even started asking and you’re already interrogating me. Can you just let me finish first?”

In her urgency, Wenyan’s tone came off a bit coquettish.

Shen Jingxiu was momentarily stunned, then let out a barely perceptible light chuckle.

“Okay, go ahead and ask.”

“Right, I wanted to know if you’ve changed assistants?”

“Yes. Weng Zhining is still in the hospital recovering. He was involved in a serious car accident with me last time and isn’t able to come back to work yet.”

“So, what’s the name of your new assistant? Is his surname Fu?”

“Indeed, how do you know?”

“I heard about it, I do have my own circle of friends after all. What’s his full name?”

“Fu Shen.”

“Did you run a background check on him?”

“Of course, he’s an alumnus from the same school. I’ve known him since our time studying.”

“Do you know about his relationship with the Fu Family?”

“The Fu Family?” Shen Jingxiu frowned, “Which Fu Family are you referring to?”

“I mean our Shen Family’s arch-enemy, there shouldn’t be that many notable Fus in A City.”

“Why are you suddenly so interested in this?” Shen Jingxiu looked at Wenyan, growing more bewildered.

“Because it’s about our Shen Family! So I’ll just be straight with you, big brother. Let me preface this by saying I have my own sources, and from what I’ve heard, this Fu Shen by your side is no simple character. He is likely an illegitimate child from our arch-enemy, the Fu Family! His presence might not bode well, he could be a corporate spy! You must look into it thoroughly, big brother, otherwise, it might be too late once something happens.”

“Are you certain? Where did you get this information from, is it reliable?”

“! Big brother, I already told you I have my sources, I heard it through the grapevine too, and I was asked to keep it secret. Can you just not press me for more and just go check it out yourself?”

Asking for her source of information was something she couldn’t actually reveal.

Seeing he had put Wenyan in a tough spot, Shen Jingxiu immediately promised, “Alright, I won’t ask anymore. I’ll go check it out directly.”
