Chapter 331 - Shen Youlin Was At Peace

For those few moments, Liu Ji Fan was speechless. He saw the ironic smile on Tian Yuan's lips and said suddenly with the same kind of smile.

"Yes, I am. Is it working?"

Tian Yuan's smile became more ironic and he nodded his head.

"It is working, I guess."

"Good."

Liu Ji Fan sighed in relief. The smile vanished from his lips and his eyes were filled with pain as he said

"Because I don't have any other way to stop you. I don't want to force you like before after knowing that you..."

You went through so much because of me. Liu Ji Fan paused amidst his words because he didn't want Tian Yuan to remember anything.

However, Tian Yuan already did and Liu Ji Fan's pause brought those memories to come back with more force only.     

The smile vanished from his lips too and he said suddenly.

"Your mother had called me again."

Liu Ji Fan raised his head to look at Tian Yuan and his eyes were cold as he heard Tian Yuan continuing.

"I tried to leave you again because she threatened me with my mother. She said that if I didn't leave you, she will harm my mother too just like how she did with my father."

Since he already knew so much then there was no harm in telling everything. That was what Tian Yuan thought before he told Liu Ji Fan everything.

"I won't let her do anything to you or Auntie."

Liu Ji Fan said immediately.

"I promise you. Just stay."

Liu Ji Fan held Tian Yuan's face between his palms again and pleaded to him. Tian Yuan stared at him silently.

A few moments later, he forcefully made Liu Ji Fan leave his face and said

"I will stay but only until my mother gets fine. I will leave as soon as she opens her eyes."

"Tian Yuan…"

Liu Ji Fan was about to say something but Tian Yuan interrupted him again.

"I want you to understand me, Ji Fan. I can't do anything to your mother. After all, I am not that powerful. But it is not a good feeling to live with a man whose mother caused my father's death."

Liu Ji Fan's heart sank inside his chest as he looked at Tian Yuan's firm eyes. He swallowed whatever he had wanted to say and forced a smile on his lips before he said

"Alright." 

Tian Yuan nodded his head and then turned around to go inside his mother's room again.

While Liu Ji Fan stood at the same spot.

His eyes were fixed at the door of Aunt Tian's room which Tian Yuan had closed just a moment ago.

At that moment, he felt his phone ringing inside his pocket and he took it out to check who it was.

However, when he saw the name of the person on the screen, his eyes went cold and indifferent.

The name was 'Mrs. Yu'.

Mrs. Yu …who was none other than Liu Ji Fan's mother. Liu Ji Fan didn't even hesitate to slide the screen and cut the call.

The phone rang again a few moments later and Liu Ji Fan put the phone on silent mode. Putting his phone inside his pocket again, he continued to look at the door of the room Tian Yuan had gone inside.

He wanted to stand there until Tian Yuan would come out again.

"Why did you bring me out of Shen Mansion?"

Shen Youlin asked Shen Weisheng who was driving the car silently.

Shen Weisheng however didn't even turn to look at her. He didn't answer Shen Youlin's question and said something else and very strictly.

"You are not going to give Yiling anything. I will handle this matter on my own."

Shen Youlin raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Weisheng with surprise.

"Why?"

She couldn't help but ask him. She had not expected that he would say this.

Shen Weisheng narrowed his eyes and stopped his car suddenly. He turned his head to look at Shen Youlin and asked her with the same narrowed eyes.

"You are asking me why?" 

"Yes, I am."

Shen Youlin was not afraid at all and said casually.

Shen Weisheng sighed with a parted mouth. He was satisfied with Shen Youlin's indifference and casual behavior in front of Shen family because it made him feel assured that she was not affected at all regardless of how Shen family was behaving with her.

However, now he didn't like Shen Youlin being so casual and indifferent.

"Because you need them."

Shen Weisheng said. However, when he saw that Shen Youlin didn't look affected at all, he sighed and continued again.

"Youlin, you need to understand. Those shares are the only thing that is making your life easy in City H because those are the only thing that keeps you connected with Shen family."

Shen Youlin found herself pondering over Shen Weisheng's words.

Perhaps he was really true because she never had any experience as to how her life would be if she was not from the Shen family. Though having Shen name with her own name didn't any special to her, she still knew that it had made others think twice before going against her whether it was in the school or in the college.

That Xie Deming's girlfriend case was perhaps the first and last case where Shen Youlin had found someone standing against herself.

However…

"I don't want it. I want to live on my own now. I don't want anything from Shen family."

Shen Youlin said firmly.

Shen Weisheng's face had a helpless expression. He looked at his sister's firm face and he suddenly felt his heart going soft. It was natural for her to feel like this at this moment.

"Youlin, you must be feeling a little emotional at this moment. Think about this later and very patiently but do tell me if you take any decision."

Shen Weisheng said gently and Shen Youlin just nodded her head.

The car started again and Shen Youlin stared out of the window of the car. There was a peaceful smile on her lips.

Though it was years later, she could finally feel that familiar familial love again …from her brother.

Perhaps she had finally found her family though it had one member only.
