Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 306 Mom

Under Xie Jincheng's arrangement, Shen Tianyou was successfully released on bail and admitted to the intensive care unit of the Armed Police Hospital.

Lin Rou sat quietly on the bench at the end of the corridor.

Her once carefully styled curls were now tied loosely behind her head, revealing her much thinner face.

The out-of-season Chanel suit she was wearing was already wrinkled, and the nail polish on her nails was patchy and peeling.

Those eyes that were always filled with arrogance were so dull at this moment.

When Shen Qianhe's footsteps came closer and closer, Lin Rou looked up suddenly as if frightened.

She subconsciously straightened her back, "You're here......"

Her voice was extremely hoarse, and her fingers nervously stroked the black USB drive. "You really... keep your word."

Shen Qianhe noticed the faint bruises on her wrists, which were caused by long-term insomnia and anxiety.

She couldn't help but think of Lin Rou, who stood beside Shen Wenyuan with a smug look on her face many years ago.

Now that time has passed and things have changed, the gears of fate have finally turned back to the starting point.

Lin Rou seemed to notice her gaze and pulled her sleeves uncomfortably.

"Inside here...are all the recordings from that night."

Shen Qianhe took the USB drive and said, "Do you know what will happen to you after I hand over the evidence?"

Lin Rou: "As long as you keep your promise and let Tianyou stay in there without suffering, I will do everything I promised."

Shen Qianhe didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly, turned around and left the hospital.

In the parking lot, Xie Jincheng's black Maybach was parked there quietly.

The car window rolled down, revealing the man's chiseled profile.

The moment Shen Qianhe opened the car door and got in, a sweet and warm breath hit her face.

Xie Jincheng handed over a baked sweet potato wrapped in brown paper and carefully added a small silver spoon.

The skin of the sweet potato was baked until slightly browned, and the golden flesh, steaming hot, appeared from the cracks.

"Be careful of the burn."

He reminded her softly and tucked the scattered hair behind her ears.

Shen Qianhe scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The sweet and soft taste instantly melted on his tongue.

She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "Delicious! How did you know I want to eat this?"

Xie Jincheng laughed softly and reached out to wipe the sweet potato off the corner of her mouth: "When you got off the car just now, I saw you looking at the sweet potato stall several times, so I went to buy some for you."

Shen Qianhe blushed and stuffed a spoonful of sweet potato into his mouth, "How come you remember this so clearly?"

Under the warm yellow light inside the car, Xie Jincheng slowly swallowed the sweet potato and suddenly leaned over.

Shen Qianhe thought he was going to kiss her and subconsciously closed her eyes.

The warm fingertips gently stroked the corners of her lips.

"Yes."

The man had a deep voice and a bit of golden mashed potatoes on his thumb.

"Did things go smoothly today?"

"Ok!"

Shen Qianhe nodded and shook the USB drive in his hand. "Now it depends on what He Shuyi will choose after listening to the recording."

The car drove smoothly on the road.

Shen Qianhe's phone suddenly lit up, and on the screen was a video invitation from Xu Shuqin.

She pressed the answer button, and a clear blue ocean like glass instantly came into view.

"Qianhe!" Xu Shuqin's clear voice came.

In the camera, she was wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, and her sun-kissed cheeks had a healthy blush.

The water is so clear that you can see every grain of white sand. A school of manta rays glides gracefully through the shallows, their wing-like pectoral fins drawing smooth arcs in the water.

"How are you lately?"

Xu Shuqin's gentle voice came.

"Yeah! Not bad."

Shen Qianhe smiled and replied, "Are you on vacation?"

"Yes, Xiaoyu said every day that the nursing home was too boring and wanted to go to the beach, so I brought her here. Look, she had so much fun."

The camera flips.

In the distance, Shen Qianyu was chasing a school of fish barefoot.

Her laughter was as clear as wind chimes, and she was not even aware that her white skirt was wet by the sea water.

"When you're done, bring Jin Cheng to the Maldives to spend the winter."

Xu Shuqin squinted her eyes and smiled, "The winter in Beijing is too cold."

Shen Qianhe glanced at Xie Jincheng who was standing beside him: "Okay! Then, I'll bring him there to hold the wedding ceremony!"

Xu Shuqin covered her mouth in surprise: "Okay! When the time comes, your father and I will definitely give you a grand ceremony!"

Shen Qianhe was slightly startled when he heard the word "Dad" from Xu Shuqin's mouth.

Seeing Shen Qianhe's reaction, Xu Shuqin hurriedly explained: "Before, I said that I wanted to adopt you as my goddaughters... You were busy and had no time to come, so I took the initiative to hold a family recognition banquet for Xiaoyu first, and asked her to call us dad and mom... I was used to calling you that, so..."

She trailed off, "If you mind..."

"I don't mind! I don't mind at all!"

Shen Qianhe interrupted hastily, her eyes reddened, "If possible, can I call you mom?"

"Hey! Good!"

Xu Shuqin's response came out almost immediately.

She hurriedly wiped the suddenly wet corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and didn't even notice that her straw hat had tilted to one side.

"Mom...Mom."

The moment she shouted, a tear slid down her cheek.

Xu Shuqin on the other end of the video suddenly covered her mouth and tears burst out.

Xiao Chengzhou hurriedly poked his head out from outside the camera: "Wife, why are you crying for no reason!"

He grabbed a pack of tissues and wiped Xu Shuqin's face randomly. His clumsy movements knocked his straw hat off, causing Shen Qianhe to laugh and cry.

Xie Jincheng silently took out a tissue and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Shen Qianhe's eyes with his slender fingers.

At that moment, the sunshine, waves and breeze of the Maldives seemed to flow gently into Shen Qianhe's heart through the screen.

God knows how long she has been waiting for this day.

......

Lai family villa.

Shen Qianhe pressed the doorbell, and the crisp ringtone was particularly harsh in the silent courtyard.

The person who opened the door was an old nanny with gray hair on her temples. There was a hint of vigilance in the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. "I'm so sorry, my husband is out and my wife is not feeling well. She won't see you. Please come back another day."

She said as she was about to close the door.

"and many more!"

Shen Qianhe raised her hand to hold the door, and said in a calm voice: "I am Shen Qianhe. Please tell Sister Shuyi that I am here because I have something for her."

While the nanny was hesitating, He Shuyi's voice suddenly came from the depths of the living room: "Let her in."

The sound seemed to have been sanded, no longer as elegant as before.

The sensor lights on the porch lit up one by one, illuminating the way to the living room.

Shen Qianhe walked in slowly.

In the living room, He Shuyi curled up alone in a corner of the leather sofa.

When Shen Qianhe approached, she slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes under her swollen eyelids.

"Sister Shuyi, are you okay?"

He Shuyi forced a smile, "Qianhe, is there something you want to talk to me about today?"

Shen Qianhe took out the small USB drive from her bag, "The recording inside... I think you should listen to it."

He Shuyi's eyes fell on the USB drive and her fingers trembled slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and took it.
