Chapter 139 - Shen Weisheng's Suspicion

"What? Do I have horns on my head?"

Shen Youlin glared at the man sitting in front of her who was continuously taking glances at her now and then thinking that she can't notice them.

She lowered down her head and ate the dish she had picked from her chopsticks ignoring the reaction of the same man at her words.

"You don't need them actually. You look like a bull even without them."

Shen Youlin choked hard when she heard these words.

The food in her mouth sputtered out as she coughed. The chopsticks in her hand fell down and her eyes went red and teary.

"Drink"

A glass was forwarded in front of her with this one-word command and this time Shen Youlin didn't bother that the tone that was used on her was something she had never liked.

Because she really needed the water.

She drank the water sip by sip and felt her throat coming back to life.

A moment later, she raised her head to glare at the man sitting beside her only to see that the man was having his dinner very calmly after messing up hers.

She was furious…so furious that she picked the knife from the basket of fruits. After that, she pointed the tip of the sharp knife at the man who was responsible for her bad mood for the whole day.

"What do you mean by I. don't. need. horns."

She emphasized each and every word as she looked at Shen Weisheng with narrowed eyes as if she was ready to kill him if he said something she didn't like.

However, Shen Weisheng still looked very calm. He glanced at the knife that was just a few inches away from his eye and then calmly moved his eyes away as if the eye that was in danger never belonged to him.

He stabbed the fruit with a fork and put it in his mouth. After chewing it and swallowing it down the throat, he finally looked at Shen Youlin and said

"You can look at yourself in the mirror and you will understand what I am talking about."

Shen Weisheng said his words in a reprimanding tone. 

He looked at Shen Youlin's hair that was now forming a bird's nest with a frown full of displeasure.

However, he didn't know it was what Shen Youlin had wanted.

Seeing that he was displeased by her choice of hairstyle, Shen Youlin put down her knife with a smile. She put one of her legs on her knee and then propped her chin on the table as she looked at her elder brother with a wicked smirk on her lips.

If only he knew just how much effort she had put into rolling on the comfortable bed provided by him to get such a beautiful hairstyle for him.

Shen Youlin knew every well that her brother likes perfection. However, it was a little different from her mother. Her brother liked things to be placed in a certain way. Randomness and unsystematic order irked his brother. This was something she had discovered when Shen Weisheng had come to Shen Mansion.

However, she was not sure whether he was the same now.

She just wished to irritate him just like how he was irritating her by making her stay in the villa where he lived. 

It seems that her plan worked in the end. 

"Do you like it, my hairstyle? "

She flipped her hair making them messier but behaved as if she was some sort of model. 

She saw Shen Weisheng's bank face and pressed her lips to control her laughter.

This was definitely getting more interesting than she had thought.

"Tsk…since you don't like it, I think I should not impose myself on you. Thank you so much for taking care of me for the past two days. Now I should leave from here and go to my own house."

Shen Youlin said nodding her head again and again as she was very satisfied with whatever she said.

However, when had she never expected that the man sitting beside her would say what he said next.

"No need. I like it very much. Whatever kind of weird choices you have, in the end, I am your brother."

The dining room went silent suddenly after Shen Weisheng's words who also seemed to have realized that he had said something very sensitive. However, he didn't want to take back his words. 

He glanced at Shen Youlin only to find that Shen Youlin was already looking at him with empty eyes.

Somehow the constant stare of Shen Youlin made him feel guilty and Shen Weisheng lowered his head. The awkwardness continued and Shen Weisheng could not tolerate it any longer.

He was about to say something when he heard a beeping sound. Raising his head, he saw that the sound was coming from Shen Youlin's phone.

Shen Weisheng was about to lower his head again but his eyes sharpened when he saw the message on Shen Youlin's phone.

His hand rose to take the phone but Shen Youlin picked it up before him.

Shen Weisheng's hand froze in the air and he closed his eyes as he pressed his temples with his other hand.

He knew whatever will come next will not be good.

"Roulan"

Shen Youlin whispered in a breathless voice. Tears rolled down from her eye as she looked down at her phone.

On her phone, there were videos and photos sent from an unknown number.

The video playing at this moment on the phone showed the policewoman pushing Mo Roulan inside the jeep that belonged to the police station. The glaring handcuffs on her smooth white hands seemed to stab Shen Youlin's eyes.

She didn't need to ask why Mo Roulan was arrested. The sender had sent her many photos and all of them showed her and Mo Roulan together…outside the bar where she used to go.

It was because of her.

"Give me your phone, Youlin"

Shen Youlin was startled when her phone was taken away from her followed by these words.

Raising her head, she saw Shen Weisheng looking at her phone coldly as he checked the messages on her phone.

"I need to go and help Roulan."

Shen Youlin whispered to herself and turned around to leave but her wrist was grabbed from behind. Shen Weisheng forcefully turned her around so that she was facing him.

"Leave me…I need to go and find Roulan."

Shen Youlin struggled wildly against his firm hold.

Shen Weisheng's face went hard as he tried to control Shen Youlin with more force at the same time being careful not to hurt her.

He had read from somewhere that a drug addict tends to get more violent in certain situations and he could clearly see this in Shen Youlin at this moment.

"Youlin, don't worry about her. Someone is already there to help her. Brother assures you that nothing will happen to her. Don't forget that you have already ended your friendship with her. You will only give her hope if you went there to save her."

Shen Youlin stopped her struggle when she heard Shen Weisheng's words.

'Yes, he is right.' thought Shen Youlin.         

Shen Youlin sat down on the chair with a thump and blank eyes.

"She will be alright?"

She looked at Shen Weisheng with her big black eyes and asked.

Shen Weisheng's heart melted into the soft puddle of the pool when he saw this sight. He seemed to remember the young Shen Youlin who used to run behind him and beg him to play with her.

He kneeled down beside his sister and patted her head gently while saying

"Don't worry. Brother is here. She has helped you so much. Do you think that I will let anything happen to her?"

Shen Youlin seemed to be satisfied with what she heard so she nodded her head and didn't struggle to leave the villa anymore.

However, the next moment she heard Shen Weisheng's question.

"For now, the important thing is who sent you these messages?"

Shen Youlin's eyes widened in shock and she saw that her phone was still in Shen Weisheng's hands.

And ….Shen Weisheng looked so angry as if he wished to destroy the phone with his eyes only.

"It's none of your business,"

said Shen Youlin and snatched away the phone from Shen Weisheng's hands. 

Shen Weisheng frowned as he was still reading the messages from the unknown number. The messages were very bad.

Each and every message seemed to be very suspicious and it seemed like the sender was trying to blackmail Shen Youlin with something.

At this moment, Shen Weisheng thought that his sister getting addicted to drugs must not be this simple.

Shen Weisheng's face was cold as he looked at Shen Youlin and said

"Youlin, give your phone to me."

However, Shen Youlin shook her head firmly and said

"No, this is my phone. Why do you need it?"

After that, she left the dining room and ran inside her room that was on the second floor leaving Shen Weisheng shouting for her.
