Chapter 84: Planned Engagement
After two or three days, Huo Xiao suddenly appeared at the hospital during the day.
Shen You looked at Huo Xiao in surprise. “Why are you here at this time?”
Huo Xiao walked to the bedside and saw that Shen You was gradually recovering, he said, “I have something to tell you.”
Shen You looked at Huo Xiao’s grave expression and became serious.
“About Shen Jiao’s engagement…” Huo Xiao paused for a moment, as if he was thinking of how to tell Shen You.
Shen You nodded and then asked, “There’s something wrong with that fiancé?”
“How do you know?” Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in surprise.
Shen You smiled and said, “Intuition!”
Huo Xiao looked at Shen You in disbelief, but there was nothing else on her face.
He shook his head, sat by the bed, and continued, “As the Shen family and the Huo family have business dealings…”
“The Huo family originally wanted to help the Shen family this time.” Huo Xiao continued.
“However, Shen Hao seems to have other plans, so the Huo family has been waiting and observing.” As Huo Xiao spoke, his expression was unusually mature and experienced.
Shen You looked at Huo Xiao without saying a word.
Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s face. After a moment, he said, “Originally, the Shen family wanted to solve this problem by relying on the engagement with the Zhao family…”
“I think you should know this.” Huo Xiao’s gaze was fixed on Shen You’s face.
Shen You nodded, but she still did not speak.
Huo Xiao paused for a moment before saying, “Due to various reasons, this method did not succeed.”
“When Shen Hao was like a cat on hot bricks, Chen Shen’s appearance was too timely!” Huo Xiao continued, with his tone sounded a little unfathomable.
“You’re saying that this was planned?” When Shen You heard this, her expression changed.
“That doesn’t sound right! It’s impossible for him to factor in the reactions of the Zhao family and me!” Shen You’s expression became even stranger.
“Or is it that someone in the Shen family is helping him?” Shen You said as she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
“The reason I’m telling you all this is so that you can remind Shen Hao not to trust anyone too easily!” Huo Xiao looked at Shen You seriously as he said this.
“Anyone? Including the family members that he has?” Shen You muttered to herself.
For some reason, Shen You felt that Shen Jiao had something to do with this incident. However, she had no evidence and no way to prove it.
Shen You sat on the bed in frustration. She fixed her eyes on her hands.
Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s expression and his heart skipped a beat. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her hair. Shen You did not move, feeling Huo Xiao’s comfort.
A moment later, Huo Xiao withdrew his hand and took out a small bag that he always carried with him. “There are some books here. You can take a look when you’re bored.”
Shen You opened it and took a look. They were all questions from interesting competitions.
Shen You felt that it was a little funny. Did this Huo Xiao treat her like a child?
Seeing that Shen You was smiling, Huo Xiao said, “I’ve gone through all the questions here. They’re helpful for the entrance exam.”
Hearing Huo Xiao’s words, Shen You’s mouth was agape in shock.
She blinked at Huo Xiao and then nodded. “Okay! I’ll go through them!”
The two of them talked for a while. Around noon, the nurse came to bring Shen You some food.
Huo Xiao reminded Shen You to take care of her health and left.
Shen You lay on the bed, quietly thinking about the memories of Chen Shen from her previous life.
In her impression, Chen Shen and his fiancée had a very good relationship, and they had always been in love.
Subsequently, his fiancée died unexpectedly, and Chen Shen seemed to be sad for some time. After that, she didn’t know what had happened, Chen Shen seemed to have formed a hatred towards Shen Hao.
Because of this, Chen Shen had approached her to conspire with him against the Shen family. When Shen You thought of Chen Shen’s bewitching look, she could not help but shudder.
In the afternoon, Shen Po came to the hospital. Seeing that Shen You seemed to have recovered a lot, he smiled.
Shen You looked at Shen Po’s slightly haggard appearance and suddenly felt a little distressed. “Eldest Brother, come over and sit for a while.”
Shen Po nodded and sat on the sofa by the bed, leaning against it to rest.
“Have you been very busy in the company recently?” Shen You asked tentatively.
“Yes! Recently…” Shen Po was about to say something, but after a pause, he said, “It’s nothing, you should rest well!”
Shen You looked at Shen Po’s appearance and thought for a moment before saying, “Eldest Brother, Shen Jiao’s engagement this time… What do you think?”
Hearing Shen You’s question, Shen Po was stunned.
