Shen Roujia heard Wen Surong’s unhurried voice, but there was a hint of urgency in her tone.
“This is truly your good fortune. You wouldn’t believe who I ran into. This whole thing wouldn’t have been possible without me.”
Wen Surong glanced at Tu Lie, as if trying to gather some information from him.
Tu Lie slowly shook his head, “I don’t know either.”
Shen Roujia didn’t initially plan to keep them in suspense, but now she felt like teasing them a little.
Listening to their awkward Mandarin, Shen Roujia almost wanted to laugh, “If you really trust me, follow me to meet a friend. But given your identities, it might be a bit tricky.”
Shen Roujia observed them both carefully, “Actually, it’s nothing major. Let’s just say you’re foreign merchants and go with that plan. My friend is a Young General. She’s righteous and loyal, and she won’t stand idly by. Moreover, this matter has far-reaching consequences.”
As Shen Roujia thought more about it, she hesitated, “But do you really trust me?” 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Wen Surong smiled warmly, full of trust, “When has A’jiao spoken, and I didn’t believe her?”
Shen Roujia then looked at Tu Lie. After spending more time with him, she realized that despite his fierce appearance, he was just a big, naive guy who listened to whatever his father said.
Shen Roujia sighed and said, “Given the situation, I’m not sure what to do right now. Let’s wait until tomorrow after she’s finished handling her matters.”
Wen Surong and Tu Lie both nodded, looking like two big, identical fools.
Shen Roujia chuckled. If things were really as she imagined, and they turned out to be her relatives, she wasn’t sure how she would handle it.
What Shen Roujia didn’t realize was that she had subconsciously started to accept the possibility that these people might indeed be her family.
She smiled wryly to herself, “Ah, the unpredictability of life.”
