NOVPUBShen Roujia understood that this resilience was something embedded deep in their bones, a kind of inner strength.
She wasn’t sure how much of it she had inherited herself.
However, seeing Tu Lie’s ability to see the bigger picture, Shen Roujia was fairly satisfied. She then instructed him, “Big Brother, if you trust me, I’d like you to stay out of the upcoming matters. Just be an observer.”

“Big Brother, why aren’t you resting so late at night?”
Before she could finish, Tu Lie replied in a hoarse voice, “I never thought she would deceive me. I’m sorry.”
Shen Roujia knew that Tu Lie still felt guilty, likely because of his earlier doubts about her suspicions or other matters. Even now, he seemed to be holding on to a sliver of hope.
Shen Roujia could clearly see Tu Lie’s current state—he was caught in a deep internal struggle. She couldn’t ignore this, and it was impossible for her not to notice.
