Chapter 84 Because…
"Because he's your brother!"
Seeing that the two were about to get close, Gao Jie couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly came out from behind the tree.
Upon seeing his biological mother, Cheng Zheng instantly released his grip on Lin Shuyao's hand, his expression returning to its usual coldness, and he stood with his hands at his sides.
Lin Shuyao was also startled and took a step back, leaning against the tree trunk. She felt that the woman in front of her looked somewhat familiar.
Gao Jie rushed between the two, separating them. She glared at her son first, then put on a smile and turned to Lin Shuyao: "You must be Xiaoqing. You look so lovely. Let me introduce myself. I'm Cheng Zheng's mother, Gao Jie. Cheng Zheng's father told me about your situation. Your mother and Cheng Zheng's father are friends, so Cheng Zheng is your brother. It's only right that he takes care of you. You don't need to be polite with him."
Lin Shuyao only realized she had seen her at the entrance of the department store after hearing her introduce herself.
She smiled, revealing two small dimples: "Hello, Aunt Gao."
Gao Jie smiled and nodded, "Hello, hello. Your Uncle Cheng has been asking me to come to the factory to see you, but I've been a bit busy lately and haven't had the time. I finally have some free time today. How are you doing, Xiao Qing? Are you settling in well at the factory?"
"I'm adapting well, thank you for your concern, Auntie," Lin Shuyao said politely.
"Hehe, that's good. I brought you some fruit and snacks. You can eat them in your dorm," Gao Jie said, waving the things she was carrying. "Let's go, I'll take them to your dorm."
Seeing this, Cheng Zheng reached out to take it, saying, "Give it to me, I'll take it back to her."
Gao Jie didn't give it to him, and said with a faint smile, "You're the leader, you're busy with work, I'll go with Xiao Qing."
It's obvious they're trying to get him away.
Cheng Zheng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air: "I don't have anything important to do this morning."
Gao Jie secretly pursed her lips. If there was nothing important, why didn't he eat breakfast at home? He rushed out in such a hurry. She had already set out the dishes and chopsticks, thinking there was some important work waiting for him at the factory. It turned out he was just going to buy steamed buns for someone else and rushed to deliver them before work. He didn't even mind the leftovers and finished them off in one bite. At home, he always used his own dishes and chopsticks and didn't share with his family. Now he's not so fastidious. How pathetic. Tsk tsk, that's enough.
"Even if it's not something important, you still need to be in the office and keep an eye on things. Leaders should set an example. Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Gao Jie made her point clear, so Cheng Zheng couldn't stay any longer. He looked at Lin Shuyao and said, "There's something else going on in the department. Come back soon."
"Okay. Got it." Lin Shuyao nodded.
She knows her own son best. At first glance, her words seemed to be urging Shen Qing, but in reality, she just didn't want that girl to stay with her. She was afraid that Shen Qing would do something to her. Brat, why are you so protective of her? She's not a tigress, is it really necessary?
Gao Jie glared at her son secretly: "You're the leader, can't you arrange for someone else to go if there's something going on in the department? Why do you have to make Xiao Qing go? I was thinking of having Xiao Qing accompany me for a walk around the factory area. Let's go, Xiao Qing."
Gao Jie gestured to Lin Shuyao.
Lin Shuyao glanced at Cheng Zheng, and seeing that he did not object, she followed Gao Jie.
The two walked towards the dormitory.
Side by side.
Gao Jie would steal glances at Lin Shuyao every now and then, and each time she looked at her, she was amazed.
Her face was small and delicate, with a pointed chin and perfectly proportioned apple cheeks that were rosy and plump. Her entire face was small and full, and her eyes were especially captivating, watery and bright, with pupils like glass beads, black and shiny. Her nose was also beautiful, high and straight, with a small tip. Combined with her rosy lips, which looked like they had been rouged, they were red and tender, making her look very approachable.
From the side, her chest is full and ample, quite impressive. Generally, women with large breasts tend to have a somewhat swollen upper body, but not hers. She has flat shoulders and a thin back, so she doesn't look bulky at all. The key is that her waist is also very thin, deeply concave, and then her hips protrude to both sides. Coupled with her two straight and well-proportioned legs, her curves look particularly beautiful.
Even without looking at her face, her figure alone is captivating.
The most crucial thing is the skin.
It's white and bright, with a texture like jade. You can't even see any pores on the face; it's as delicate as a baby's skin.
Such a beauty, let alone men, even she, a woman, couldn't resist her. She's a veritable enchantress, more alluring than a fox spirit. No wonder she's so infatuated with her son, getting up early every morning to buy him steamed buns. In all her years as a mother, she's never enjoyed her son getting up so early to buy her steamed buns.
However, Shen Qing doesn't look much like her brother-in-law. Could she look like Shen Yuehong?
If that's the case, Shen Yuehong must be a great beauty. No wonder her brother-in-law couldn't resist getting involved with her despite his sister-in-law's strong control, and even agreed to let her have the child and willingly gave her living expenses every month.
If she was just a mistress, then when Shen Yuehong became pregnant, he should have given her a sum of money to get rid of her, and even aborted the child. It seems that the brother-in-law still had some genuine love for Shen Yuehong.
However, no matter how beautiful Shen Yuehong is, she is still a bad woman who destroys other people's families.
Shen Qing is also an illegitimate child.
That would be dishonorable.
How can someone like that be with their own son?
If her sister-in-law Zhang Mei found out about this, Zhang Mei would definitely hate her to death.
So no, there's absolutely no way my son and Shen Qing could be together!
In that short distance, Gao Jie's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts.
Lin Shuyao remained quiet; Gao Jie didn't speak, and neither did she.
However, her mind was also racing. Like Gao Jie, she was torn between her thoughts and her own, making all sorts of guesses about why Gao Jie had suddenly come to find her and what her purpose was.
More than anything, I'm worried that her identity might have been exposed somewhere.
After a long silence, Gao Jie finally spoke first:
"Xiaoqing, are you settling into your dorm? If you need anything, just tell Auntie and she'll get it for you. Last time, your Uncle Cheng originally asked me to go with you to the department store to buy some bedding and pillows, but something came up at work, so I had Azheng go with you instead. We bumped into each other at the entrance last time, but I didn't know you were next to Azheng. Otherwise, we would have gotten to know each other by now."
"I'm quite used to living here, Auntie. I don't need anything for now. Thank you and Uncle for taking care of me. I appreciate your help."
Lin Shuyao responded politely, but in her mind she was thinking that it was Uncle Cheng's idea for Cheng Zheng to take her to the department store to buy things after the last internal affairs inspection.
She knew it! Why was he suddenly being so nice to her?
It turns out it wasn't his own choice.
I can't quite describe how I feel, but I'm definitely not happy.
Gao Jie continued to whisper in her ear, "How are things going with A-Zheng? He's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Do you know Su Wan? She's also in your department. He takes good care of her, always busy with everything, worrying about this and that. At first, I didn't know Su Wan's identity, and I thought he was dating someone. Later, I found out that she was the widow of one of his comrades, and she entrusted him to take care of her before she passed away."
Lin Shuyao sensed something from these words, but she wasn't sure if Gao Jie meant it the way she thought. She nodded in agreement, "Yes, Auntie, I know Su Wan. It means she really takes good care of her."
"Right, haha," Gao Jie laughed twice, then suddenly sighed, "Oh dear, your Cheng Zheng is great in every way, except that he hasn't solved his personal problems yet. He's always busy with work. Fortunately, he finally started actively going on blind dates recently. The rascal has become anxious after seeing other people getting married."
Lin Shuyao had only caught a hint of it before, but now she understood.
Gao Jie came here specifically for her.
To be precise, they were probably worried that she might have something going on with Cheng Zheng, so they came to give her a heads-up.
Unfortunately, I was overthinking it.
Cheng Zheng never intended to develop anything with her. Otherwise, he would have gone with the flow when she took the initiative, instead of dragging things out with her until now.
However, since Gao Jie didn't say anything, Lin Shuyao could only pretend to be clueless and wait for the other party to reveal their intentions.
Lin Shuyao smiled subtly, appearing to be listening attentively. Gao Jie was about to continue pointing at her when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of her, who also recognized her.
