Chapter 91 : Engagement Continued
Huo Xiao listened to their conversation by the side, then looked at Shen You and Shen Jiao’s expressions. At this moment, it was inconvenient for him to speak. Thus he could only watch them continue to argue.
Shen You remained silent, her gaze darting back and forth between Li Ru and Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao, on the other hand, kept her head low. She looked a little timid, as if she had been greatly frightened. Occasionally, she would glance at Shen You and Huo Xiao with a hint of scheming.
Hearing Li Ru’s words, Shen You felt sad and helpless. She had thought that Li Ru had finally treated her as a daughter and was finally willing to share a part of her love with her.
At least, during the time she was in the hospital, Shen You had seen a little bit of Li Ru’s love. Unexpectedly, when Shen Jiao walked in between them, everything went back to square one again.
Shen You felt a little sad for herself. She knew that she might never be as good as Shen Jiao in this lifetime. As long as Shen Jiao was still around, she would never be able to have Li Ru’s love!
During the confrontation between Xie Xiao and Li Ru, Shen You seemed to have thought things through.
She looked at Li Ru and said slowly, “I will try to communicate with the Zhao family. I can’t guarantee that it will succeed.”
“The Zhao family said that as long as the engagement continues, they can help!” Li Ru said anxiously.
The corner of Shen You’s mouth twitched. They had actually already contacted the Zhao family. They were just waiting for her to jump in!
Shen You nodded and said, “Then you guys can go back first! I’m tired!”
Shen You did not hesitate to send them away. She did not want to see Li Ru and Shen Jiao anymore.
Li Ru saw Shen You’s attitude and immediately panicked. “Xiao You, I…”
Shen You did not want to listen anymore. She turned around and lay down.
Xie Xiao stood in front of Li Ru again. “Auntie! Please go back! Xiao You is a patient and she needs to rest!”
Li Ru could only sigh and turn around to leave.
Shen Jiao came forward and supported Li Ru. Her gaze swept past Xie Xiao and landed on Shen You. Then, she turned away.
After Li Ru and Shen Jiao left, Xie Xiao angrily sat by the bed. “How can there be such a shameless woman!”
“What’s going on?” Huo Xiao finally asked.
Shen You slowly sat up, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Xie Xiao looked at Shen You’s expression and felt her heart ache. “The moment they came, they said that Shen Jiao no longer could get engaged to that Chen Shen!”
“They said that the responsibility of saving the Shen family now falls on Shen You.” Xie Xiao became angrier as she spoke.
“Why? What did the Shen family give to Shen You? And now they want Shen You to sacrifice herself for the Shen family?” Xie Xiao was full of anger and her tone was very angry.
Hearing Xie Xiao’s words, the corner of Shen You’s mouth curled up. She raised her hand and gently held Xie Xiao’s hand. She knew that Xie Xiao was really standing up for her!
Shen You held Xie Xiao’s hand and finally felt a trace of warmth.
“It’s nothing. They just wanted me to sort things out with the Zhao family,” Shen You said indifferently.
The engagement between Shen Jiao and Chen Shen itself was already ridiculous enough. Now that Shen Jiao wanted to break off the engagement, Shen You could also understand.
However, she was not too sure if Shen Jiao’s injuries were really caused by Chen Shen?
Although Chen Shen was a little vicious, he was only scheming. Would he really hit a woman?
Although Shen You could not figure it out, there was no need to think about it in depth. Since Li Ru brought Shen Jiao over, it must have been Shen Hao’s idea.
Otherwise, in the eyes of Shen Hao who mainly cared about the interests of the Shen family, no matter how, Shen Jiao’s engagement would not be abandoned!
Huo Xiao stared at Shen You. “How are you going to talk to Zhao Nan?”
Shen You thought for a moment. “Zhao Nan should also want to get rid of this marriage. I’ll have a good talk with him.”
Huo Xiao frowned. He had a feeling that Shen You had misjudged Zhao Nan. Based on Huo Xiao’s observation of Zhao Nan, he had no intention of letting go!
Xie Xiao looked at Shen You and frowned. “Are you sure Zhao Nan will talk to you nicely?”
“Every time he talks to you, he huffs and puffs!” Xie Xiao wrinkled his nose, looking very cute.
Shen You reached out and scratched Xie Xiao’s nose. “He huffs and puffs with everyone!”
“Besides! I have good conditions for him. I’m not afraid that he won’t agree!” Shen You said meaningfully.
“Good terms? What good conditions? Tell me!” Xie Xiao asked curiously.
“It’s the whereabouts of a person he cares about!” Shen You grinned and showed a victorious smile.
She was sure that that person was much more important than her in Zhao Nan’s heart! As long as she used this news to exchange with him, Zhao Nan would definitely agree to break off the engagement!
