To seduce her

It was already the next evening when Shen Yaochu received a call back from Assistant Fang.

After the call was connected, Assistant Fang's calm voice came: "Madam, your mother and her family have arrived home safely."

Shen Yaochu was stunned. She didn't expect that she just asked Assistant Fang to help her get Zhou Hongli's contact information, but the other party directly connected them back.

"Thank you."

"No need." Assistant Fang said, "You can contact me directly if you need anything."

Shen Yaochu expressed her gratitude again, hung up the phone, and quickly left for the Shen family.

The night was as dark as ink, and the lights of the city gradually blurred in the distance.

Shen Yaochu walked through the familiar yet unfamiliar street and returned to his long-lost home.

Gently pushing open the door, a fresh smell hit me in the face. Although the house was still old, it was obviously cleaned.

In the living room, the lights were dim. When she heard the door open, Zhou Hongli looked up suddenly. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, which was then replaced by anger.

"You still remember to find someone to bring us back! You damn girl!" Zhou Hongli's voice did not contain the joy of reunion after a long separation, but was full of accusations and dissatisfaction: "It's been so long, if we hadn't seen the news before, we wouldn't have known you were still alive! You really don't treat us as your family!"

Shen Yaochu was standing at the door and heard Zhou Hongli's sharp voice, but did not step in.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Shen Yaochu moved her lips and said, "Mom."

Seeing that the whole family was in a state of tension, Zhou Hongli's face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it. Shen Weiyi on the side hurriedly said, "Yaochu, come in quickly!"

Lin Yinan must have just cried, she walked over holding the grown-up Kaikai’s hand and said, “It’s been so long since we last met, don’t just stand there, Yaochu, come in and sit down.”

"Aunt." Kaikai shouted.

"Brother, sister-in-law." Seeing Kaikai, Shen Yaochu smiled lightly: "Kaikai has grown taller."

Maybe it was because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so Shen Yaochu felt a little unfamiliar with this family of four.

The only thing that Shen Yaochu felt familiar with was Zhou Hongli's sharp voice and harsh words.

"You three, get into the room right now. I have something to say to her! Quickly!"

Shen Weiyi and Lin Yinan looked at each other, obviously speechless by Zhou Hongli's anger.

Shen Weiyi reminded her: "Mom, after all, it was Yaochu who sent people to bring us back..."

"What was she doing earlier?!" Zhou Hongli was furious. She stood up and rushed Shen Weiyi and Lin Yinan to the room: "Hurry up and get in!"

Shen Yaochu stood there, watching this scene, feeling mixed emotions.

The family of three was driven into the room, and Zhou Hongli slammed the door shut.

Zhou Hongli turned around again, almost walked in front of Shen Yaochu, and her finger almost poked her nose. "Do you know how sad we were when we thought you were dead? You were obviously not dead, why didn't you tell us? And you even had someone send us away, what were you thinking?"

Shen Yaochu frowned. Facing such accusations as soon as she got home made her a little annoyed, but she still remained calm on the surface.

"Mom, calm down first, let's talk it over." Shen Yaochu said.

"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down?" Zhou Hongli's voice trembled with excitement. "Do you know how we have lived these years? We are doing the lowest level jobs abroad. How dare you live the life of a rich wife in Lukang?"

Before coming back, Shen Yaochu also thought that Zhou Hongli would be upset after not contacting her for such a long time.

Maybe they would hug her and cry because they hadn't seen each other for too long, or even if she blamed her for not contacting them and not letting them return to China, she could accept it.

But unexpectedly, what Zhou Hongli hated most was that they did not live as well as she did abroad.

Shen Yaochu smiled bitterly and suppressed the ripples in her heart.

After going through so much, if she hadn't been completely disappointed in Zhou Hongli's family, she wouldn't have stopped contacting them for so long.

Since her purpose was just to find out what happened that year, there was no need to dwell on these things anymore.

Shen Yaochu looked at Zhou Hongli calmly: "Mom, as long as you don't mess around, I won't ignore you."

Zhou Hongli looked at Shen Yaochu suspiciously: "Are you really going to take care of us?"

"Yes." Shen Yaochu nodded: "But I need to know what happened before my father got into trouble."

Shen Yaochu's voice was not loud, but extremely firm. Her eyes were fixed on Zhou Hongli, trying to find a clue from her eyes, even the slightest fluctuation.

As expected, Zhou Hongli, who had just been shouting, suddenly became like a deflated balloon.

Her eyes flickered a little, her hands were twisted together nervously, and she didn't dare to look at Shen Yaochu.

In fact, she had already known that Shen Yaochu brought them back this time just to find out what happened to Shen Chengan.

When the assistant beside Gao Yuchuan found them, he brought up the matter at the beginning. He didn't say it clearly, but just probed ambiguously and asked her if she knew about what happened.

That matter was so big, and this person was Gao Yuchuan's assistant, how dare she speak nonsense!

She just pretended that she knew nothing at the time, so Assistant Fang didn't ask any more questions, but just hinted at her to be careful about her words and actions when she came back, because Shen Yaochu is now the wife of the president of Gao Group, and she is also the person in charge of a large project, and everyone in Gao has to call her "President Shen".

If something really happened and affected the reputation of her Gao family, not only would she not be able to become President Shen, but her marriage to Gao Yuchuan would also be in trouble.

She had finally been able to return to Lukang, and Gao Yuchuan and Shen Yaochu would take care of her in her old age. How could she possibly say something nonsense and destroy the relationship between Shen Yaochu and Gao Yuchuan?

"Yaochu, this happened so long ago, how can I remember what happened?" Zhou Hongli waved her hands, looking unwilling to continue the conversation.

As if she was afraid that Shen Yaochu would be too stubborn, Zhou Hongli added: "Mom advises you to let the past go and don't pursue it anymore."

Shen Yaochu frowned. She knew Zhou Hongli too well. Her behavior meant that she must know about it and was hiding it from her!

And Uncle Tian also said that Zhou Hongli called Shen Chengan at the time, so she must know!

"Mom, what are you hiding?" Shen Yaochu's voice was soft, but it was firm and unquestionable. She looked directly into Zhou Hongli's eyes and said, "Even if you hide it from me, I will continue to investigate this matter."

"There's nothing to investigate!" Zhou Hongli knew that Shen Yaochu had been stubborn since childhood, and that even eight bulls couldn't change his temper, so she could only persuade him again: "Why can't you just listen to me? What happened back then was not that simple. If you continue investigating, you will only put yourself in danger!"

Zhou Hongli became more and more angry and shouted, "Your father is so irresponsible and insists on doing what he wants. Do you want to be like that too?!"
