Chapter 908: Sensing the Strange Bracelet

Chi Shuyan nodded and suddenly asked, “By the way, are the two infected also
men? Are their faces sallow, as if theyve overindulged?”
When Qi Zhenbai heard his wife’s words, his eyes flashed, and he narrowed
them and said solemnly, “Pretty much!”
Chi Shuyan originally wanted to tell the man about her previous conjecture,
but after thinking about it, she decided to wait until tomorrow.
What if she was wrong
Chi Shuyan also told him about her visit to the Shen family today. She frowned
and said, “The more I think about it, the stranger I find that blood bracelet
which Shen Rongyin wears. Can you help me find out where she bought it
from? Itll probably have been decades ago, and it won’t be easy to find out, but
this is the key!”
Without waiting for the man to ask, Chi Shuyan said again, “I felt that the
bracelet was a bit strange when I first saw it. It’s just that l couldn’t say what
was strange about it back then; I was completely focused on Shen Rongyin and
ignored her bracelet. Also, can you help me investigate the whereabouts of that
person with Shen Rongyin, Azancheng? I hope I’m overthinking it!” After a
pause, she thought of the way Shen Rongyin had looked at her before, and she
said, “However, I’m afraid she’s suspicious of me now!”
Qi Zhenbai’s eyes flashed sharply, and he naturally nodded in agreement.
Chi Shuyan then said that when she went to the Shen family today, Commissar
Shen and Mother Shen had the idea of using the excuse of paying back the
favor to force her father to marry. Her eyes were cold as she said, “Whether or
not there’s anything unusual about Shen Rongyin, the daughter of the Shen
family isn’t a good match for my father.”
Just based on Mother Shen’s prejudices against her father and her, Chi Shuyan
didn’t want her tather to get involved with the shen family. As tor Commissar
Shen, strictly speaking, he wasn’t a good person, nor was he a bad person.
Most of the time, he was very sensible. However, he was something of a
schemer. This originally had nothing to do with her, but since Commissar Shen
had his eye on her father, Chi Shuyan naturally didn’t well of him. Her previous
favorable impression of him had practically disappeared.
Qi Zhenbai was amused when he heard his wife say that the Shen family
wanted to force his father-in-law to marry. If it was a good partner, to some
extent, he really hoped that his father-in-law could have a family again.
Qi Zhenbai’s wife belonged to him alone, and it would be much easier to marry
her in the future if her father remarried. Qi Zhenbai vaguely felt that his future
father-in-law might seem satisfied with him on the surface, but in fact, if he
proposed an engagement or getting a marriage certificate, his father-in-law
definitely wouldn’t agree easily.
Qi Zhenbai curled his lip and said, “Don’t worry; if the Shen family really wants
to use a debt to force a marriage, Dad isn’t foolish enough to accept it. He
knows what the Shen family is up to, and they can’t do anything as long as he
doesn’t want it. Besides, Shen Rongyin is already better and still has all her
limbs; what does Dad have to be responsible for? Moreover, you were the one
who saved her. Because of this, the Shen family can’t blame Dad even if they
want to. At most, they’ll vent their anger on Dad, but with me around, the Shen
family won’t dare do anything to him”
Chi Shuyan immediately beamed at the man’s words. Thinking about it
carefully, that really made sense, and she heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re right!
My dad shouldn’t have any feelings for Shen Rongyin, nor does he like her
too-young face. Other men might still like her youthful beauty, but my dad
can’t lay a hand on her because of her appearance!”
She knew her father’s character very well. Every time Shen Rongyin came to
look for her father, she would deliberately be there most of the time. Her
father’s gaze would occasionally fall on Shen Rongyin’s young face with a deep
frown, which never let up. When Shen Rongyin confessed to him, he just
looked awkward..
