Chapter Thirty-Seven Scarlett

  Liao Xinxin stared blankly at the beautiful woman hugging Shen Yu's neck, laughing and jumping for a long time, but in her heart, countless thoughts were turning over.

  Who is this beauty? And what's her relationship with Shen Yu? Is she his girlfriend? Oh my god! She actually is his girlfriend! How can that be?! They seem to have a great relationship, huh! Are they going to get married or something?! If they do get married, as Shen Yu's subordinate, should I give them red envelopes?! How much would be appropriate?! 200? 300?! Ah, it turns out she's still poor...

  Liao Xin stared blankly, thinking wildly, while Shen Si Jia finally put down his paws from Shen Yu's neck and asked with his hands on his hips, "Hey! You're busy with your own affairs every day, don't you know to come back and see me?"

  Shen Yu lost his smile and raised his hand to touch Shen Si Jia's hair. "I'm just too busy with work."

  The girl slapped away Shen Yu's hand that was touching her hair, glaring at him with anger, like a rooster whose feathers had been ruffled. "I finally managed to style my hair, stop messing it up! What if you ruin it?!"

  Liao Xin muttered to herself: They've been "feeling each other out" for a while now, and it seems their relationship isn't simple after all.

  "Besides, stop using work as an excuse to brush me off. When I wanted you to accompany me somewhere when we were young, you always said you were busy with your studies. Now that you've finally graduated, you're busy with work again! I'm not that easy-going! If it weren't for this banquet being related to your work, I wouldn't believe you'd even remember me today."

  "Alright, alright." Shen Yu waved his hand, "I'll head back home this weekend."

  Shen Si Jia looked at Shen Yu with a slanted gaze, her face full of disbelief, "Really or fake?"

  "Of course it's true, I'll go back as long as I have time." Shen Yu said after a flicker of his eyes.

  Liao Xin's thoughts were quite unhealthy as she watched the two of them talking back and forth in front of her, her curiosity was overflowing, she looked at the beautiful woman who seemed to be on the verge of blowing up and kindly inserted a sentence.

  Just as Shen Si Jia was about to scold, she heard a faint sound coming from the side, like a small animal. She turned around and saw a fluffy little head peeking out from behind her brother's back. It was a little girl with huge eyes, holding up her small right hand and smiling at her in an adorable way. Shen Si Jia's maternal instincts suddenly overflowed.

  "Hey, little sister, what are you doing here?"

  Shen Si Jia gazed at the two faces with a hint of resentment and thought for a moment before suddenly rolling her eyes.

  "I said, brother, isn't this little girl the one you asked me to bring evening dresses for? Your colleague? Are you sure she's not underage? Aren't you employing child labor?"

  "Are you really under him?" Shen Sijia pulled Liao Xinxin and asked curiously again and again.

  "En en." Liao Xinxin nodded vigorously.

  "Your temper is really good." Shen Sijia clicked her tongue, "My brother is the most infuriating one, high IQ and low EQ, never knows how to cherish and appreciate. And he's a workaholic, who can stand him?"

  "En en." Liao Xinxin nodded vigorously.

  "Then why are you still following him? I would have run away long ago." Shen Sijia glanced back and gave Shen Yu a big sanitary ball.

  "It's mainly because I'm timid." Liao Xinxin tapped her two index fingers together, "Who dares to resist?"

  Shen thoughtfully patted Liao Xinxin's back, causing Liao Xinxin to let out a cry of surprise. Turning around, Shen's face was filled with righteous indignation, her fist clenched as she almost shouted, "Where there is oppression, there will be resistance!!"

  "En en." Liao Xinxin nodded vigorously.

  Shen Si Jia nodded in satisfaction and patted Liao Xin Xin's thin back.

  "Alright, Sijia, stop hitting her. Not everyone is a judo expert like you. Hit her again and she'll pass out." Shen Yu looked at Liao Xinxin with another scolding glance, walked over and pulled away his excited sister, "Let's talk about it later, are your clothes ready?"

  "Oh, I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it." Shen Sijia giggled and raised the bag in her hand, "It's here, but I didn't expect the new skeleton to be so small. This evening gown might not fit her figure."

  "It doesn't matter, just make do with it for now. It's better than her current state."

  Shen Si Jia looked at Liao Xin Xin's wrinkled small cheongsam with as polite eyes as possible, then looked at the bag in her hand containing the evening dress and nodded, "Hmm, at least after changing, no one should think she's underage."

  Okay. Liao Xin Xin pulled at the skirt again, she thought they were complimenting her that the skirt made her look younger...

  While Liao Xin Xin went to the dressing room to change clothes, Shen Yu and Shen Si Jia stood by a floor-to-ceiling window in the outer hall of the banquet, waiting and talking.

  "Is this time you came over for the Yu family's case?" Shen Sijia smoothed her hair against the glass, outside had already darkened, but inside the house was brightly lit, the large floor-to-ceiling window served as a full-body mirror, many ladies waiting for their male companions in the outer hall chose to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to tidy up their clothes and hairstyles.

  "Hmm," Shen Yu said, "This time Director Yu will definitely attend the dinner party. He came to the hall a few days ago and his attitude was not quite right, so I'm here today to confirm some of my conjectures."

  Shen Si Jia turned around, "I reckon there are still some people behind the scenes who will appear here. For example, the heir to the Yu family's inheritance?"

  "Maybe it is. I hope so." Shen Yu smiled.

  "But it seems like there are more people here today." Shen Si Jia's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Looks like tonight will be very lively."

  （3）

  Liao Xinxin stepped out of the dressing room, wearing a pair of super high heels with a height of over 15 centimeters, swaying gently as she walked. As she was about to close the door, she lowered her head and took another look at her chest.

  Empty. She wanted to cry but had no tears, even after piling on several layers, it was still empty... Damn it, why did they have to give her this sexy evening gown!!!!

  With a desperate tug upwards on her collar, Liao Xinxin took a deep breath, pushed open the door to the outer hall, and then stumbled...

  "That's Xin Xin, right?" Shen Si Jia stared at the girl who was limping and crawling towards them from the doorway at a turtle's pace, asking with great helplessness.

  Shen Yu's face was expressionless, "Seems like it."

  "She's no longer just a minor, but a minor who sneaks into her mother's evening gowns and high heels." Shen Sijia observed for half a day before finally concluding, "See? Completely flat."

  "Hmm," Shen Yu said.

  Liao Xinxin is silent.

  "Never mind, it's probably going to be the same result anyway." Shen Sijia resignedly pulled up Liao Xinxin, so that she wouldn't have to struggle too much to walk. "Fortunately, Xinxin doesn't need to follow you around the whole place for now, just help you keep an eye on people. Let's go find a seat and sit down to eat."

  "Let's go then." Shen Yu smoothed out his sleeve and extended his arm for Shen Si Jia to hold onto.
