Shen Yiling looked very flustered for a second under the gaze of so many eyes. However, she soon composed her expression and said with a sad face
"Big Brother, actually I was afraid that Youlin would be angry with me if I called her. That's why I didn't look for her in the beginning. After all, it was me who had suggested Mom file a complaint against her friend, Mo Roulan. I thought that it was Youlin's friend who was making her go on the wrong path. So …"
Shen Yiling paused suddenly as she lowered her head and then wiped the corner of her eyes.
When she raised her head, her eyes were really filled with tears as she said
"But then I thought that if Youlin is really angry with me, then I should find her and apologize."
Shen Weisheng smiled mockingly as he put Shen Youlin's phone inside his pocket again. Shen Yiling could obviously see the mockery in his eyes. She pretended to look hurt and said
"Big Brother doesn't seem to believe me."
Shen Weisheng didn't say anything this time and Shen Yiling just lowered her head.
Shen Zhilan frowned seeing this. She immediately came to her daughter's rescues and said
"Weisheng, what is this? How can you behave like this with your sister? Why does your behavior vary so much for both of your sisters?"
Shen Weisheng had an urge to laugh out loud at this question.
Even Wang Weimin who had been silently sitting until now couldn't help but look at Shen Zhilan and shake his head.
The question that Shen Zhilan was asking Shen Weisheng should be asked to her.
Was not she the same?
She poured all her love for Shen Yiling and never looked at Shen Youlin seriously. It is not that Wang Weimin didn't like Shen Yiling. However, sometimes Shen Zhilan's partial behavior irked him a lot. However, he didn't have any say in this.
Shen Zhilan could never improve and Shen Youlin never took him as her father.
So he could only witness all of this silently.
Shen Weisheng also didn't say anything in response to his mother's question. Shen Zhilan was very unhappy with her behavior. Just when she was about to say more, her hand was held by Shen Yiling and she remembered what her daughter had said just a few moments ago.
They needed Shen Weisheng. If he got angry and left just like that then they would not be able to find where Shen Youlin was.
Shen Zhilan didn't want to wait anymore so she asked Shen Weisheng directly
"Do you know where is Youlin?"
Shen Weisheng put down the knife and fork in his hands and looked at his mother seriously.
"I have sent her away for some time. She needs to stay alone for some time."
Shen Yiling's eyes flickered when she heard this and she asked almost immediately.
"Where? ….I mean …where did Big Brother send Youlin?"
"Out of China."
Shen Weisheng responded without looking at Shen Yiling. After that, he stood up from his chair and looked at his mother.
"I guess that's why I was being called here. Since your purpose has been achieved already, I will leave now."
"What? No…"
Shen Yiling had wanted to know more and that's why she tried to stop Shen Weisheng, however, Shen Weisheng was very fast to leave.
Shen Zhilan sighed as she made her daughter sit on the chair again. Patting her hand, she said
"Yiling, it's alright. Mom will just hire an investigator to know everything about that girl. Don't worry about anything."
'That would be better than looking that girl's face.'
Shen Zhilan thought inside her heart.
Shen Yiling also didn't say anything after hearing her mother's words. However, inside her heart she was dissatisfied. If only her mother had said this before, then she wouldn't have to tolerate this indifference and mockery from Shen Weisheng.
However, on her lips, there was a very perfect smile according to the situation completely different from the resentment inside her heart.
"Thank you, Mom."
Shen Zhilan smiled hearing this and then continued to have dinner.
--------
Shen Yiling, however, didn't stop there. Either she didn't have full trust in her mother's capability or she couldn't wait to find everything about Mo Roulan, she called Shi Fengju after the dinner.
Sitting on the bed, Shen Yiling's eyes had mockery in them when the call was picked and Shi Fengju's gentle voice fell in her ears.
"Yiling"
She rolled her eyes.
How could she not see Shi Fengju's feelings for herself! She could see everything but she pretended very well not to see everything.
Shi Fengju was nothing but a dog to Shen Youlin. A dog she needed without whom her chances to reach He Jian would perhaps become lower.
So even though he and his feelings made her feel disgusted, she didn't have any other choice except to endure it. In the end, it was this love that was making Shi Fengju to do anything for her.
She could use his feelings for her purpose. Since he loved her, she could lower his bottom line slowly and slowly. Then she could get He Jian easily.
After that, she could always avoid Shi Fengju.
Putting aside her disgust, Shen Yiling called out in a soft voice.
"Brother Fengju, how are you doing?"
On the other side of the phone, Shi Fengju seemed to be working on some documents inside his study room. However, after hearing Shen Yiling's question he put them down. A full smile emerged on his lips as he responded
"Well, I am doing very well especially now since you have called me."
Shen Yiling rolled her eyes again but Shi Fengju who couldn't see her mocking him only heard a soft chuckle from Shen Yiling's side.
His eyes became more soft and gentle and he was about to say something when Shen Yiling spoke before him
"Brother Fengju, that day …behind which girl Brother Jian left the restaurant, did you find out?"
The smile on Shi Fengju's lips faltered. It took him a few moments to answer Shen Yiling's question.
"I did. I found out from Fang Zhihan actually. Jian really did leave the restaurant for that girl."
That day, when He Jian had left suddenly, Shen Yiling was saying continuously that Mo Roulan would take He Jian away from her. However, Shi Fengju didn't believe any such thing. He tried to comfort her and even said that he didn't believe that He Jian would really run out in panic for that girl.
After all, he had been He Jian's friend for so many years.
However, when the three friends gathered together in the absence of He Jian, Fang Zhihan told him that He Jian had really gone to Mo Roulan's college that day.
