Chapter 4: Is This Sister-in-law?
Yuan Shu became more and more determined. In the past, her husband had died early and she could only rely on herself to support the entire Xiang family. Now that her husband was missing, since she was the head of the family, she had to pull Fourth Young Master back to the right path as soon as possible. She couldn"t let him implicate the entire family!
Yuan Shu clenched the belt in her hand and walked into the police station.
As the driver stared at her back figure, he vaguely felt that something had changed. However, he couldn"t tell what had changed. He could only sigh as he thought to himself that if Madam couldn"t handle it, he would call the Second Young Master and ask him to settle it. He only hoped that nothing bad would happen.
"May I ask where Shi Bin is?" Yuan Shu happened to meet a young police officer when she entered and asked politely.
The Shi family was prominent, and Shi Bin was a profligate young master, so his name was naturally very famous. The young policewoman said, "You must be Madam Shi. Mr. Shi is inside. Please follow me."
Before the Host got married, she always relied on her status as the eldest daughter of the Yuan family to lord over others. She hung out with all sorts of celebrities and models, so she appeared in all kinds of tabloids.
After she got married, because Shi Xiao kept a low profile, she had no choice but to keep a low profile. There were even tabloids that said that after she got married, she "turned over a new leaf and became a new person."
It had only been two years since the young policewoman graduated from university. When she was in school, she had read a lot of tabloids, so she was very familiar with Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu had disappeared from the news in the past two years. Therefore, the young policewoman"s impression of this Madam was still on her exaggerated eye makeup and glamorous red lips.
Thinking of Yuan Shu"s past, the young policewoman stole a few glances at Yuan Shu. She saw that Yuan Shu was wearing a long black dress. Her hair was draped over her shoulders and her shoulders were straight. She walked with an indescribable elegance and charm. The young policewoman couldn"t help but marvel. It seemed that Yuan Shu had really turned over a new leaf.
"What"s wrong?" Yuan Shu sensed the policewoman"s gaze and turned her head slightly to ask her.
The young policewoman blushed when she was caught peeping. Before she could think of a way to explain, she saw the detention room in front of her, so she hurriedly said, "Mr. Shi is here. He"s in a bad mood, so please be mindful."
With that, she ran away without waiting for Yuan Shu to thank her.
As Yuan Shu watched her leave, she felt a little puzzled, but she still pushed the door open and walked in.
The confinement room was very small and the bed against the wall was only half a meter wide. As Shi Bin sat there dejectedly, e looked very disheveled.
Yuan Shu sized him up. The young man was tall and slender. He was wearing jeans and a tattered white cloth that looked like a shirt. His body was covered with dirt, making him look like a homeless stray dog.
The young man must have heard footsteps. He suddenly raised his head and met Yuan Shu"s gaze.
"Yuan Shu?" Shi Bin"s voice was filled with disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
The young man raised his head, making it easier for Yuan Shu to see his face clearly.
His hair was dyed silver-white, and he was about 17 years old. He had bold eyebrows and bright eyes, and his skin was fair. He looked like a stereotypical young master from a n.o.ble family.
However, there was a wound at the corner of his mouth and a bandage on his head. He looked at her fiercely with an impatient and irritable expression, but the bandage on his forehead made him look a little comical.
"He looks like an injured stray dog," Yuan Shu thought to herself.
"I received a call from the police station to pick you up and bring you home."
Shi Bin snickered, but in the next second, he gasped in pain, causing him to dislike Yuan Shu even more. "This should be handled by my eldest brother"s secretary or my second brother. What has it got to do with you? Who are you to interfere?"
"I"m your sister-in-law, so I naturally have a reason to interfere." Compared to him, Yuan Shu was very calm.
Shi Bin snorted. He had heard this many times in the past. Just as he was about to mock her, he met Yuan Shu"s eyes. Those eyes no longer revealed ignorance and conceit like before. Instead, they looked very calm.
Shi Bin"s anger subsided and he observed his nominal sister-in-law.
Her hairstyle didn"t change, nor did her facial features. The difference was that she didn"t wear heavy makeup. Her gaze wasn"t as fierce as before, nor did she look at him with disgust, nor did she shout in exasperation. She seemed to have gone from a valiant rooster to an elegant and calm swan. Even the way she looked at him was as if she was sizing up an unimportant stranger.
Shi Bin swallowed hard and suddenly felt afraid.
