Chapter 115: Chapter 115 : Crisis At Shen House (3)

Shen Jingwei, beautiful as a rose in early spring but cold as the harshest winter at North Pole, sat at the train station of Nanwu Town.

He was patiently waiting for the next train to arrive.

The man was so pre-occupied with his own thoughts that he did not notice the attention several youngsters at the platform, mostly teenage girls, gave him.

They were whispering urgently to each other as they stole covert glances at him.

"Isn’t that Shen Jingwei from ’3, 2, 1... Action!’?" one of them said.

"It seems to be him, but he looks so gloomy," the other quipped.

"He seems to be angry. Ahhh I want to get his signature so bad... What to dooo...?"

"We shouldn’t disturb him. He might get mad at us..."

Two of the girls, who happened to be friends who traveled together, fidgeted around for such a long time. In the end, they did not get the signature they wanted and had to board the next train.

"Oh, boo," the first girl plopped down to her seat in disappointment. "Why couldn’t we just chat him up?"

"Seriously, what was there to lose... EHHHHHH???"

Eyes wide in shock the second girl pressed both palms and her face against the train window, prompting the other passengers to give her weird looks.

The first girl cleared her throat and beamed at the curious passengers.

"Hahaha... my friend, she got too excited... hahaha... nothing to look at here..."

She then urgently tugged at the hem of her friend’s jacket.

"Hey, sit down already. You are embarrassing me," she said through gritted teeth. "What’s so interesting to look at outside?"

The second girl whipped her head in her friend’s direction and pointed outside the window with a shaky finger.

"T-t-that...!!!"

"I know. Shen Jingwei. Yes, yes. I heard that Nanwu Town is his hometown. We will catch him eventually."

"Not that!" The second girl snapped impatiently.

Puzzled, the first girl cocked her head to the side. "What are you being so weird about?"

"Look!" The second girl cried in exasperation while pointing outside the window.

The first girl took a look.

She almost vomited blood on the spot.

It was Yan Renzhong!!!

Yan Renzhong, who just stepped off the train, was walking toward Shen Jingwei!

Just then, the train started moving, leaving the train station behind.

The two men were completely oblivious of the chaos and suffering they had caused. Inside the departing train, the two girls were so devastated that they wanted to break the window and jump out to demand some signatures from both men.

Upon noticing Yan Renzhong, Shen Jingwei rose to his feet. His arms were folded tightly before his chest, his lips were exceedingly thin, and the vein at his right temple twitched erratically.

"My mother and sister are waiting in the car," he told the other man without a single greeting.

Yan Renzhong gave him a curt nod in response.

"I see."

That was all they cared to say in public.

Inside the car, the two ladies were indeed waiting for Shen Jingwei and Yan Renzhong.

When the two men arrived, Shen Jingwei tapped at the front window.

Shen Dou Dou rolled the window downward and blinked at her elder brother.

"Dou Dou, sit at the back," he said. "I want to sit next to Mom."

"B-but..."

Mother Shen gently nudged her daughter’s arm.

"Go, Dou Dou. Sit at the back."

Shen Dou Dou obediently relinquished the front seat to her brother and sat next to Yan Renzhong at the back row.

It was not an awful trade, to be very honest.

How many mortal girls could ever brag about sitting next to an A-List actor of Yan Renzhong’s caliber?

Shen Dou Dou’s primary challenge during the car ride was capturing covert photos and videos of Yan Renzhong without being detected.

She also planned to snap some candid pictures of her brother and Yan Renzhong together.

Probably ones showing both of them smiling or even hugging each other?

Those would sell like hotcakes...

No, no, no!

Shen Dou Dou shook her head fervently.

What was she thinking!

Those pictures were not for sale!

She would share them only with her closest friends, fellow fujoshis in dire need of some bxb romance.

And even then, she would make sure that they did not sell those photos to any magazine or TV channels...

Shen Dou Dou had only managed to take one blurry video of Yan Renzhong and several covert wefies with Yan Renzhong when the car took one last turn prior to arriving at their neighborhood.

The young woman could have slapped herself several times across the cheeks.

What was she doing the entire time?

Maybe she should have boldly asked Yan Renzhong to pose for her...

"We have arrived."

All four of them climbed off the car.

Mother Shen forced herself to smile at her children.

"Jingwei, please make some tea for our guest. Dou Dou, please cut some ice cream lemon cake from the freezer and serve it to Mr. Yan."

"Auntie, there is no need," Yan Renzhong said in a hurry.

"Nonsense," Mother Shen said, her tone indicating that she tolerated no counterargument. "I’ve instilled in my children the importance of hospitality ever since they were young. I won’t make an exception today."

Following their mother’s instructions, Shen Jingwei made some tea and Shen Dou Dou served four plates of ice cream lemon cake.

Once the basic hospitality had been dispensed and everyone was cozily seated at the living room, Shen Jingwei went straight to the point.

"Tell me the truth," he said while pinning Yan Renzhong with a glare.

"I want to know why your father, a certain Song Zhuguan, raided my house yesterday and demanded that we vacate this house.

I want to know why you bought my house three years ago."

Shen Jingwei turned to his mother as well.

"I am also interested to know why my mother had to sell our ancestral house. What exactly is going on?"

Mother Shen, Shen Dou Dou, and Yan Renzhong exchanged looks with each other. At last, Yan Renzhong heaved a sigh and spoke.

"I will explain everything to you."
