Chapter 958: Never Changing ‘Till Death (1)

“Jiawei, what’s the matter?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Shen Jiawei with a calm expression.

His hands in his sleeves, Shen Jiawei looked at Shen Yanxiao with hesitation.

“I… have something to discuss with the City Lord in private… is that okay?” Shen Jiawei carefully asked.

Shen Yanxiao said without any hesitation, “Sure, come with me to my study.” After she said that, she left.

Shen Jiawei nodded to the five beasts and followed Shen Yanxiao.

“Why do you think Shen Jiawei came to look for Xiaoxiao?” Tang Nazhi crossed his arms and looked at Shen Jiawei’s stiff back.

“We don’t have to worry.” Qi Xia shrugged his shoulders.

The five of them had reached a consensus to not pry further. Thinking about it, Shen Jiawei coming to look for Shen Yanxiao was probably for an internal matter of the Vermilion Bird Family, so it was better for them not to listen in.

In the study, Shen Yanxiao sat on the chair and calmly looked at Shen Jiawei who was somewhat nervous.

When Shen Yanxiao had just transmigrated, the first thing she saw when she woke up was Shen Jiawei and Shen Jiayi, these two unruly kids, mocking her. At that time, she was the Vermilion Bird Family’s disgrace, and was swiftly derided by everyone.

With the pa.s.sage of time, the people who had humiliated her had grown ill at ease before her eyes.

“Have a seat first.” Shen Yanxiao was not a child anymore, so she had no interest in continuing this petty fight between children.

Shen Jiawei and Shen Jiayi were no longer worth her time to deal with.

Shen Jiawei hesitated for a moment before he slowly sat down. As he looked at Shen Yanxiao, there was a trace of struggle in his eyes. The words he was about to blurt out were swallowed back in hesitation.

Shen Yanxiao was not anxious. She just looked at Shen Jiawei quietly. She knew that he would say something once he was ready.

“I… I have something to tell you…” Shen Jiawei hesitated for a long time before managing to squeeze out that sentence.

Shen Yanxiao sighed and said, “Just say it.”

Shen Jiawei took a deep breath and said, “Sister… has been acting weird recently.”

“Why do you say that?” Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Shen Jiawei to come and talk to her about Shen Jiayi.

The twins did not have a particularly good relations.h.i.+p with each other. She had heard about it a lot from many people. Shen Jiayi seemed to hate Shen Jiawei. Every time she met him, she would be unhappy. Shen Jiawei, on the other hand, still respected his straightforward sister like before. Even when Shen Jiayi beat him up, he never fought back.

What exactly happened that made Shen Jiawei, who had always protected Shen Jiayi, suddenly come find her?

A trace of struggle appeared on Shen Jiawei’s face.

“Until now, Sister is still unwilling to go out of her room. She locks herself in her room all day long, and I’m worried. There were several times when I wanted to ask her out for a walk but she chased me out. However…” Shen Jiawei bit his lips.

“But some time ago, when I went to look for her, I discovered that there was someone else in her room.”

“Who is it?” In Sun Never Sets, these two unruly kids did not know many people. Furthermore, due to Shen Jiayi’s strange personality, the people here did not like to interact with her. Who would look for her?

“I’m not sure. I only stayed outside for a while and only heard a man’s voice. It’s unfamiliar, and it did not sound like anyone I’ve met in Sun Never Sets. Moreover, what that man said worries me,” Shen Jiawei frowned and said.

“What did he say?” Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes and asked.
