Chapter 89: Cell Phone
Thinking about Shen Jiao and Chen Shen, Shen You decided to ask Li Ru what she thought.
“Mom, Shen Jiao and Uncle Chen are engaged?” Shen You asked tentatively.
When Li Ru heard this, her expression became a little ugly.
She sighed and said, “Xiao Jiao is also doing this for the Shen family…”
As she said this, Li Ru felt a wave of emotion, and tears could not help but roll in her eyes.
Shen You looked at Li Ru’s expression and knew that she was feeling sorry for Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao’s move was very clever.
Since she had attracted the Shen family’s pity, they would not suspect that she had other thoughts.
Shen You looked at Li Ru’s sad expression and asked, “Why is she with Uncle Chen?”
Li Ru wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “It was your Uncle Chen who said that Ah Jiao looked like his late fiancée.”
“He also said that he could help the Shen family overcome this crisis,” Li Ru continued, not noticing the change in Shen You’s expression.
“Ah Jiao, she… she did it voluntarily,” Li Ru whimpered and cried.
Shen You looked at Li Ru’s sad look. She really didn’t know if they really didn’t realize the problem or if Shen Jiao’s acting was so good that they all believed her?
Shen You looked at Li Ru’s sad look and even thought it was funny. However, perhaps this was the relationship between mother and daughter?
After all, Li Ru sincerely treated Shen Jiao as her biological daughter!
Shen You suddenly felt a little pitiful. If she had been living in the Shen family all these years, would Li Ru treat her the same?
All of this could only be imagined. Li Ru and Shen You chatted for a long time, mostly about what Shen Jiao had done for the Shen family.
Shen You was a little annoyed, but she did not know how to stop Li Ru.
Fortunately, Huo Xiao appeared in time!
Huo Xiao came to the door of the ward and heard Li Ru talking about how Shen Jiao had spent a week preparing for her birthday party when she was young.
Huo Xiao looked through the window and saw Shen You’s impatient expression. Shen You did not stop Li Ru, she just listened quietly.
Huo Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. He greeted her, “Auntie Shen.”
Li Ru did not expect to see Huo Xiao, so she froze on the spot.
“You’re here!” Shen You smiled sweetly and looked at Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s smile and froze on the spot.
Li Ru walked forward and greeted Huo Xiao, “Huo Xiao, right? You’re Xiao You’s classmate! Thank you for visiting her!”
Seeing how polite Li Ru was, Huo Xiao subconsciously moved the bag of things in his hand backward.
Shen You glanced at the bag of things and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Li Ru chatted with Huo Xiao for a while, then took a call and left. Huo Xiao placed the bag in front of Shen You.
Shen You looked at Huo Xiao warily. “What is this? Could it be another exercise?”
Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s nervous look and felt that it was a little funny. He took out the thing in the bag and placed it in Shen You’s hand.
Shen You looked at the thing and was a little surprised. “A cell phone?”
“En.” Huo Xiao replied and said, “It’s always inconvenient for you to be alone in the hospital.”
“I’ll give you this cell phone. Call me if there’s anything,” Huo Xiao said seriously.
Shen You opened the box and began to study the cell phone. This was the first time she had a cell phone.
Although she was the daughter of the Shen family, Shen You’s status in the Shen family was obvious.
Moreover, Shen Hao had clearly prohibited his children from using a cell phone before adulthood, for fear that they would delay their studies.
Shen You fiddled with the cell phone, but she still couldn’t get the point. Huo Xiao looked at Shen You, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He walked to Shen You’s side and naturally leaned against the bedside. He picked up the cell phone in Shen You’s hand and demonstrated it to her.
This was the first time Huo Xiao had gotten so close to Shen You that Shen you could clearly feel Huo Xiao’s body temperature. At that moment, Shen You subconsciously wanted to run away.
Although she had always been careless, whenever someone really wanted to get close to her, she would subconsciously avoid them.
This time, Huo Xiao’s approach was too sudden, and Shen You did not have time to react. Huo Xiao seemed to sense Shen You’s emotions and immediately put the phone back into her hand.
“Try it yourself!” Huo Xiao said as he guided Shen You to operate the phone.
All of a sudden, Shen You did not have the time to feel any more body heat. All her attention was on the phone.
