Chapter 1723
“Xiao Shu, don’t forget that you’ve only seen your daughter a few times, and she needs her mother too.” Shen Yu was beside herself with help.
They knew my weaknesses too well, and I had no reason to refuse, so I agreed.
Fu Shen Yan stayed in the hospital for the night, and after I fell asleep, he left.
The next day, after breakfast, we set off on our journey back to China. For security reasons, Shen Yu had chartered the entire business class of the flight, and when we arrived at the airport, we were a huge group, causing quite a commotion.
With half an hour to go before boarding, Shen Yu took me to rest in the VIP lounge, with bodyguards and accompanying doctors guarding the outside. I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but my spirits were getting better and better, and I was able to walk on my own when I entered the lounge.
“Hot water, it’s time to take your medicine.” Shen Yu poured me a cup of hot water and handed me the medicine box that had been dispensed long ago.
After taking the water and medicine, I opened the box and took a look at the two dozen pills, large and small, and suddenly I was deflated.
This of course did not escape Shen Yu’s eyes. He reached out and patted me on the shoulder, pursing his lips at me, “It will be fine.”
I didn’t hold out much hope, but I didn’t want to spoil his fun either, so I simply changed the subject, “Shen Yu, tell me the truth, what exactly does Mu Shen want Fu Shen Yan to do for him.”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Shen Yu snatched the pill box over and poured out a few small ones into my hand, “The most important thing now is to cure the disease, just leave the rest to our man, take your medicine.”
It seemed there was nothing more to ask.
I looked down and frowned first at the thought of the bitter taste of the medicine, and froze for two seconds before pinching my nose and taking it down.
I had just taken a sip of water when my eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing past the entrance to the VIP room, and when I stretched my neck to look past the screen, the entrance was empty.
I rubbed my chest, a little stunned.
Luckily, it was just an illusion.
How could Mu Shen have come here single-handedly?
However, reality smacked me in the face.
“Looking for me? Shen Shu.” Mu Shen’s voice sounded like a ghost behind the screen, and the entire VIP room’s atmosphere instantly became eerie.
Shen Yu immediately lifted her spirits and patted my hand soothingly, signalling me to stay calm before winking at the bodyguard next to her.
Only then did we see clearly that Mu Shen was sitting across from us, and indeed, single-handedly.
One of Shen Yu’s men was very clever, and one of them left quietly and went out to investigate the situation.
Mu Shen glanced lightly in the direction where his men had left and snorted coldly, not saying anything, but obviously noticing.
However, he didn’t dwell on this point, instead he approached me in a leisurely manner, “Shen Shu, we’ve known each other for several years, right? How long has it been since we sat down and had a good heart-to-heart talk in such a bright, open and honest environment like now?”
I was about to speak, but Shen Yu was one step ahead of me, “If you know you can’t see the light of day, you should stay in the gutter like a rat and don’t come out and disgust people, I’m telling you, I’m not done with you about Xiao Shu, I’m not going to do anything for the rest of my life, I’m only going to do one thing, and that is to stare at you until you die!”
“Tsk tsk tsk ……” Mu Shen was not affected in the least and raised his index finger and wiggled it mockingly, “The words are so full, aren’t you afraid you’ll have to kneel down and beg me later?”
“If you want to daydream, go back to your stinking gutter and lie down before it’s too late, don’t be an eyesore here.” Shen Yu’s eyebrows were rounded, on the verge of striking.
“If you want to leave, you’ll have to ask Shen Shu herself to give the eviction order, but I can see that for the sake of her two daughters, she must not be able to let me go.”
Chapter 1724
Mu Shen looked at me, his almond eyes looked like they had been dipped in ink, growing darker and darker, with a sinister aura of hell all over him.
The thing I was most afraid of, had it finally happened?
I clenched my palms and gritted my teeth to maintain my composure. Shen Yu was worried that I would be stimulated and hurried over to soothe me, “Xiao Shu, don’t believe it, don’t listen, he’s lying to you, I’ve tightened security after last time and secretly arranged to hire, servants and soldiers, no one can get close to the four seasons and the baby.”
Tears were already welling up in my eyes, but I held them back, clasped Shen Yu’s hand and nodded seriously.
Yet Mu Shen was undeterred and continued to argue sopH*morically, “Hmph, ridiculous, Shen Shu, you don’t really believe in Shen Yu, think about it, if he did, do you think my men would still be able to take your son?”
These words nicely stimulated the softest spot in my heart.
I looked up at Shen Yu and asked him for help.
Seeing this, Shen Yu glared at Mu Shen in annoyance, somewhat exasperated, but ultimately worried that I was over-stimulated, he took out his mobile phone and called home, “You’ll be relieved to hear the Four Seasons’ voice, don’t be afraid.”
However, after nearly ten seconds of silence, the call still didn’t get through, and Shen Yu was clutching his phone, his face becoming increasingly ugly.
Mu Shen then began to grimace at the side, “Shen Shu, I’ll give you two minutes to think about it, come with me and I promise to let you live and stay with your child, leave, hmph, you know the consequences.”
I couldn’t sit still any longer and was busy grabbing the phone out of Shen Yu’s hand and putting it to my ear.
After listening to it for ten seconds or so, my whole body was frozen in place as if it were frozen in place.
“Well, have you thought about it?” Mu Shen got up urgently, patting the suit jacket on his body with boredom, seemingly already extremely impatient.
“I’m coming with you.” I agreed.
“Then follow my lead, the car is outside, come yourself.” Mu Shen exuded a smug look and lifted his feet to walk outside.
“Wait!” Shen Yu called him back, “I’m going to accompany Xiao Shu!”
Mu Shen shrugged his shoulders and said, “Whatever.”
The prey was already in hand, who would mind more than one giveaway.
“No, Shen Yu, you have the Shen family to look after, you can’t go.” I retorted.
“If you don’t go back, the huge Shen family will be nothing more than a prison, I’ve already watched you being taken away once, and as I said, there is no second time!” Although Shen Yu seemed calm, his words were very strong.
“But ……”
“What a good show of brother-sister love,” Mu Shen didn’t give us any more chances, standing at the exit with an impatient face and pointing at the watch in his hand, “I don’t have that much time, delay any longer and you will suffer the consequences!”
In the end, neither Shen Yu nor I could convince the other, and we both got into Mu Shen’s car.
As soon as the car door closed, Mu Shen handed over two eye patches.
We were both smart people, so we didn’t need to talk too Avray, so Shen Yu and I naturally did as we were told and put both blindfolds on.
I couldn’t see anything compared to the last time, but with Shen Yu by my side, I didn’t feel scared, I just couldn’t wait to see my son.
It took about an hour before the car finally stopped.
With the bodyguard pulling us, we were taken out of the car and into the lift.
When we stood and took off our blindfolds, we were greeted by modern office facilities, with open areas and minimalist but stylish decor.
Mu Shen was sitting in a swivel chair, with a cigar lit in his hand at some point.
