Afraid She Will Be Deceived
You are smiling so strangely
Shen Man slept until eight o’clock and got up, she opened the door to her room wearing pajamas.
Lin Shu was already dressed up beautifully, sitting and eating breakfast.
“Shen Man, you got up really late today.” Lin Shu took a sip of milk, an elegant smile hanging on her fair and tender face.
Shen Man felt this smile was a bit strange, she let out a light laugh, pulled out a chair, sat down and said, “Shushu, who did you make plans to go out and play with today?”
“It’s none of your business.” Lin Shu said haughtily, putting down her teacup, she stood up and deliberately gave Shen Man a glance from a commanding position1, “I’m going out now.”
“Have fun.” Shen Man said with an unchanging smile, the strange feeling in her heart grew even stronger.
Lin Shu walked to the entryway to change her shoes.
She slowly put on her shoes, and before heading out the door, she turned back with a smile, “Bye bye.”
Shen Man’s fine eyebrows wrinkled as she watched the main door get closed.
She could feel that Lin Shu was a bit abnormal today, that brilliant smile carried a kind of calculation within it.
Shen Man absent-mindedly ate her breakfast.
Auntie He came out carrying the toasted bread, glanced at the table, and asked doubtfully, “Manman, where is Miss Lin? She said she wanted to eat bread, how come I don’t see her.”
“Shushu just went out.” Shen Man said.
Auntie He put the bread down and said with a smile, “Miss Lin seems to be in a good mood today, she got up so early. Usually she sleeps for a long time during the winter vacation.”
Hearing this, Shen Man was even more certain that Lin Shu was strange.
After finishing breakfast, Shen Man sat in the living room reading a book.
The weather was nice today, the sunlight was bright and beautiful, giving people a long-lost feeling of warmth.
Shen Man read for a while and felt a bit drowsy.
She put down the book and got up to go back to her room.
Just as she lay down on the bed, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Shen Man curved her lips into a smile, answered it, and said in a polite and gentle voice, “Mr. Tian.”
The other party was a bit surprised, stammered twice, and said hesitantly, “Can you really help me?”
“I think that if you are willing to make this phone call, you should have already prepared yourself.” Shen Man sat up, leaning back comfortably.
There was a moment of silence on the other end.
After a while, Tian Yi2 began to speak, “Miss Shen, tomorrow I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to my company, I will tell you the specific situation.”
“Okay, you can rest assured, I will not leak any information.” Shen Man gave a light laugh, her voice steady and confident.
Tian Yi gave the address, and the two agreed on a specific time.
Shen Man got up from the bed, walked to the balcony, and looked at the bright and beautiful scenery outside, smiling slightly.
The phone rang again.
Shen Man saw it was a call from Tan Kai, was puzzled for a few seconds, then answered, “Is something the matter?”
“Shen Man, I saw Shushu went to the Love and Bar, what is she doing there by herself?” Tan Kai asked.
Shen Man was startled in her heart.
The Love and Bar was precisely the place where she worked part-time, and moreover, it was not open at this time.
“I don’t know either.” Shen Man said, paused, and then asked again, “You know this bar?”
“A friend took me there once.” Tan Kai answered, a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained, “I’ve only been there that one time.”
Shen Man lowered her eyes.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Man’s sleepiness was completely gone, her mind couldn’t help but ponder the reason for Lin Shu going to the Love and Bar.
With Lin Shu’s status, she definitely wasn’t going there to work part-time, so it was most likely to spend money.
That place looked elegant and quiet, but in reality, it is a place where fish and dragons are mixed together3, hiding many shady dealings4.
Lin Shu, this simple thousand gold big young miss, if she really went there to spend money, I’m afraid she will be deceived into spinning in circles5.
She wasn’t worried that Lin Shu couldn’t afford to spend, but rather, she was afraid this idiot would be cheated by someone.
As Shen Man thought, she began to feel a bit annoyed in her heart.
