Chapter 128 - 128 Catching Someone
128 Catching Someone
Shen Yin did not care about Cheng Huo, but she really did not want to return to the Lian residence.
Nian Nian stayed there because he had returned to his father’s home. What was she there for?
Taking out the key that Li Zi had refused to take back, Shen Yin stood at the door for a moment before opening it.
In the living room, Li Zi was lying on the sofa and scrolling through her cell phone in boredom. When she heard the noise at the door, she sat up in horror and quickly grabbed the fruit knife on the table. If she pressed a button on her cell phone, she could call the police directly.
To her surprise, the person who entered was Shen Yin!
Overjoyed, Li Zi put down the knife and pounced on Shen Yin and gave her a big bear hug. Then, she pulled her to sit on the sofa and asked in surprise, “Heartless girl, you’re finally back to see me?”
Shen Yin smiled apologetically. “I wanted to have dinner with you tonight, but I was delayed by something. After I was done, I quickly came to apologize to Miss Li Zi!”
Li Zi smiled and held her cold hand. When she saw the gown Shen Yin was wearing, she exclaimed in surprise, “Girl, this dress must be a gift from President Lian! It’s too beautiful!”
Shen Yin blushed and shook her head. “It’s not from him. I borrowed this dress. I have to return it.”
Li Zi pouted regretfully and handed her a cup filled with hot water to warm her hands. She teased, “I thought you had forgotten about me now that you have President Lian! At least you still have a conscience!”
Shen Yin’s heart sank at the mention of Lian Jing.
Li Zi had known Shen Yin for so many years, of course she could tell that Shen Yin was depressed. She grew serious and sat beside Shen Yin, asking with concern, “What happened? Tell me?”
Shen Yin frowned and opened her mouth. Suddenly, she felt that there was really nothing much to talk about. In their relationship, he just wanted to force her to submit because she was living under his roof. However, she was a conservative person, so that had caused a lot of trouble.
She pursed her lips. She was not interested in discussing this, so she changed the topic and talked about Li Zi. “Did you keep in touch with the man from last time?”
“Of course not!” Li Zi was furious at the mention of this man. She rubbed her fist as she thought of catching that scumbag and beating him up. “I had better not see him again! Otherwise, I’ll beat him up every time I see him!”
She made Shen Yin laugh. Even her cold hands were warmer now.
It had been a long time since Shen Yin had chatted with her friend so freely. She really missed the days when she had just returned to China.
The Lian Family had shackled her, and Lian Jing held the chain. Shen Yin disliked feeling controlled by others. Fortunately, Nian Nian was doing well in the Lian Family, and Lian Jing doted on this son very much. She should have no worries…
“What are you thinking about?” Li Zi nudged her with her shoulder and pointed at Shen Yin’s old room with a smile. “If you’re tired, go and rest. I’ve kept your room for you.”
Shen Yin smiled gratefully and was about to get up to wash up when someone knocked loudly on the door.
“Who is it?” Li Zi and Shen Yin looked at each other and Li Zi warily walked to the door to look at the peephole. She seemed frightened as she backed away in fear and hid behind Shen Yin. She patted her little heart and looked at Shen Yin pitifully.
“What’s wrong? Who gave you such a fright?” Shen Yin looked at her curiously.
Li Zi patted her chest and complained pitifully, “Miss Shen, you’ve brought your tail along. Didn’t you realize?”
“What tail?” Shen Yin looked at her in confusion and walked over to open the door. She met Lian Jing’s grim eyes.
Shen Yin closed the door with a bang and pretended as if nothing had happened as she went back to her room to sleep.
Li Zi looked at Shen Yin in shock. She had seen it clearly just now. Lian Jing had planned to come in, but he had not expected Shen Yin to slam the door shut and with such force that it bumped against Lian Jing’s nose, which started bleeding.
She stammered, “Are you really going to ignore him? Do you want him to come in?”
Shen Yin frowned in disapproval. “We are women living alone. It’s very dangerous to let a man into the house in the middle of the night. When you live alone, you have to be vigilant.”
Li Zi thought to herself, when I lived alone, such an important person would not be standing outside my door.
She gulped but before she could say anything else, someone knocked on the door again. The sound was so loud that the neighbors were displeased. They opened their doors and started cursing.
Shen Yin looked at Li Zi. She did not want to cause trouble for her good friend, so she compromised and opened the door. However, she blocked the door and refused to let Lian Jing in.
“Get out of the way.” Lian Jing looked at Shen Yin coldly. The usually imposing President Lian was covering his nose with one hand. There was even a trace of blood seeping from between his fingers, making him look rather comical.
“You made his nose bleed!” Li Zi exclaimed and pulled Shen Yin away. She invited Lian Jing into the house and gave him toilet paper to stop the bleeding.
Lian Jing took the tissue and wiped the blood from his nose. However, his eyes were fixed on the woman who was standing at the door, refusing to come in.
