"Just what?" Father Shen interrupted her, "Do you think I don't know about the things you have done? Do you know why you have reached this point? It's because you don't take the consequences into consideration again and again. , time and time again I felt I could escape responsibility.”

Shen Nian's eyes were red and tears fell: "Dad, I know I was wrong. I just wanted to... want to do something for our family."

Father Shen looked at his daughter in shock: "For the family? Do you think using Li Shaohua and threatening him and Jiang Yuzhu is for the family? You are doing it for yourself!"

Shen Nian hugged herself, her body trembling, "I know I was wrong, Dad, please help me, I don't want to go to jail."

Father Shen let out a long sigh. He knew that he could not completely blame his daughter. After all, his indulgence was also one of the reasons.

"I already have a plan. Shen Qiang is Jiang Yuzhu's sister, and she has been very close to you recently. She has also been involved in some small-scale fraud before. We can..." A trace of cruelty flashed in Father Shen's eyes.

Shen Nian's eyes widened: "You mean..."

Father Shen nodded: "Let her take the blame. But you have to remember, this is the last time. From now on, you must completely wash your hands, otherwise I can't protect you anymore."

Shen Nian burst into tears. She knew this was the last chance her father gave her. She hugged Father Shen tightly: "Thank you, Dad."

Father Shen sighed deeply and gently stroked his daughter's head, "I hope you can really learn your lesson this time."

Night has fallen, and a bright moon sets off the cold starry sky. Jiang Yuzhu opened the door to her home, tiredness and worry written on her face. She expected to see Pei Jingchuan sitting on the sofa waiting for her, but the living room was empty, with no other light source except the desk lamp that was still on.

She gently took off her shoes, walked to the kitchen, and saw Mrs. Chen washing dishes. Mother Chen is a servant in the family. She has been with the Pei family for many years and is her right-hand assistant.

"Mother Chen, where is Jingchuan?" Jiang Yuzhu asked gently.

Mother Chen raised her head, with some concern in her eyes: "Miss, the young master is out. He said he had something urgent to deal with."

Jiang Yuzhu's heart sank. She knew this was related to what happened just now. She bit her lip lightly: "How long has he been out?"

Mother Chen thought for a while: "It's been about an hour. I see that his face is not good, and he seems to be in a hurry."

Jiang Yuzhu felt mixed emotions. She knew that Pei Jingchuan was worried about her, and her reckless behavior this time really caused him a lot of trouble. She sighed softly and asked, "Mother Chen, did Jingchuan say anything when he left?"

Mother Chen shook her head: "I didn't say anything, just asked me to take good care of you, miss. He will be back soon."

Jiang Yuzhu sighed secretly, knowing Pei Jingchuan's character, he must have to deal with those troublesome affairs, and all of this was because of her. She clenched her fists and decided to explain it to Pei Jingchuan carefully when he came back.

"Mother Chen, thank you." Jiang Yuzhu smiled slightly. She knew that Mother Chen had always been a good helper to the Pei family and her confidant.

Mother Chen gently stroked Jiang Yuzhu's head: "Miss, you have to trust the young master, he will handle everything. The most important thing for you now is to stay calm."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded, secretly making up her mind. She decided to go to the end with Pei Jingchuan no matter what.

Stars were sparsely dotted in the night sky, and everything seemed so peaceful under the cold moon and the Milky Way. Jiang Yuzhu sat in front of the window, staring into the distance with deep eyes. His originally bright eyes looked slightly sad at the moment.

Pei Jingchuan's emotional entanglement with her and the ups and downs during this period made her feel exhausted. She gently held her hand, and her white fingers seemed to reveal her thoughts.

At this time, there were gentle footsteps outside the door, and Pei Jingchuan walked into the room slowly, with a little apology in his eyes. He saw Jiang Yuzhu sitting in front of the window, seemingly absent-minded, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Yuzhu..." He gently called her name.

Jiang Yuzhu came back to his senses, turned around and looked at him, with a slight smile on his lips: "You're back."

Pei Jingchuan nodded, walked to her side, and gently held her hand: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Jiang Yuzhu looked at him indifferently: "You know, what I'm most afraid of is that something happens to you. Every time I hear you go out, I worry about what might happen..."

Pei Jingchuan gently interrupted her: "I know, I know you care about me and are afraid that something will happen to me, but there are some things I have to do. I don't want you to bear so much pressure."

Jiang Yuzhu sighed softly: "But you know what? Your safety is more important to me than anything else."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each other's eyes filled with deep emotion and understanding.

Pei Jingchuan took a deep breath: "Yuzhu, I promise, I will be more careful in the future and never let you worry about me again."

Jiang Yuzhu seemed to be aware of his injuries. Her hands gently touched the scratches, and she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She tried to keep her voice steady: "How...are you feeling well?"

Pei Jingchuan smiled softly, trying to ease her worries.

"Actually, it's okay. These are just superficial injuries and they will heal soon. As you know, I have always paid attention to physical health."

He gently held her face and stroked the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, where there were a few wrinkles caused by worry.

He said affectionately: "Yuzhu, I'm really glad to have you by my side, walking with me through all this."

Tears welled up in her eyes when she heard this, but she tried not to let them fall.

"Then you have to promise me that you won't take risks easily, okay?"

Pei Jingchuan took a deep breath and nodded: "I promise you."

The next day, before the sun fully penetrated the thick clouds, there was a loud knock on the door of the villa.

Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Jingchuan were not yet fully awake from the emotional entanglement last night, and were awakened by the sudden noise.

Chen Ma quickly walked to the door and saw Father Shen standing outside the door with an angry face, followed by several burly bodyguards.

"You bunch of white-eyed wolves!"

Father Shen roared loudly as soon as he entered the door. His voice revealed anger and unwillingness. It seemed that all the resentment that had been accumulated for a long time exploded at this time.

Jiang Yuzhu walked out, looking a little surprised: "Uncle, what's wrong?"

Father Shen's eyes widened: "You ask me what's wrong? I raised you so well, and you actually sent your biological sister to prison! Do you still have the nerve to ask me?"

Pei Jingchuan also walked out with a calm expression: "Mr. Shen, please calm down. Things are not as you imagined."

Father Shen glared at him: "Don't pretend to be in front of me. You clearly know what happened. You guys worked together to frame my daughter!"
