294 Eavesdropping
After Shen Yin dressed and came out, she saw the adult and child looking at each other as they sat on the sofa.
When Cheng Mu saw her, she immediately ran over and hugged her tightly just as Shen Nian did every time he saw her. She raised her head and smiled sweetly. “Sister, can I sleep with you tonight? I want to talk to you. I haven’t seen you in a long time. I miss you so much.”
Of course Shen Yin was agreeable. She was just wondering why Cheng Huo was still sitting here.
After calming down, she realized that she had casually gone home with a man. Fortunately, Cheng Mu was here. Otherwise, she would have to take a taxi to Li Zi’s house even though it was so late.
With her approval, Cheng Mu immediately raised her head proudly and made a face at his brother. She even teased him, “Brother, you’re really shameless. It’s already so late, but you’re still in Sister’s room! You should go back to your room to sleep!”
Cheng Huo really wanted to pick up this brat and throw her out of the room, but she was right. He suppressed his resentment, stood up, and said calmly, “Then I’ll leave. Yin Yin, if you need anything, send someone to my room to look for me.”
“Okay, thank you, Brother Cheng.” Shen Yin nodded at him politely and thanked him. Her expression was distant and indifferent, maintaining her distance from him.
Cheng Huo smiled bitterly, nodded, then walked out of the room in disappointment.
Cheng Mu had finally gotten rid of her biggest opponent that night. While Shen Yin went to arrange the blankets, she secretly picked up her phone and took a photo to send to Shen Nian, to tell him that she had succeeded.
Shen Nian’s call came almost instantly, but it went straight to Shen Yin’s phone.
After picking up the call, Shen Yin apologized to her son guiltily. “Darling, Mommy won’t be home tonight. You have to sleep early. Don’t let it affect your attendance at school tomorrow, understand?”
“Mom, don’t worry about me. I can take care of myself.” This was not Shen Nian’s main purpose for calling her. He paused. He could tell that Shen Yin’s voice was very calm. He asked tentatively, “Mom, what exactly did you and Dad quarrel about?”
Shen Yin’s grip on the cell phone tightened slightly. Thinking of how Mo Ru and Lian Jing had hugged each other just now, her tears flowed uncontrollably again. “Nothing. Don’t ask anymore. This has nothing to do with you. In the future, you can live with your father if you want. If you don’t, Mommy will find a house as soon as possible and you can move out.”
Since Lian Jing had someone else, she would definitely not permit herself and her son suffer!
Since he cared so much about that woman, he should get her to give birth to his son!
Shen Nian was her only treasure. She would never let him go!
Shen Nian was shocked by her harsh words. He hurriedly expressed his loyalty. “Mom, Nian Nian will never leave you. If you want to separate from Dad, then I will leave with you. Mom, you musn’t abandon me!”
“Alright.” Shen Yin’s heart suddenly felt warm. She let out a long sigh. Fortunately, she still had an obedient and sensible son like Nian Nian. It did not matter if she did not have a man. She had taken care of Nian Nian alone for so many years. She could still do it in the future!
Worried that she would spend all night being upset, Shen Nian spoke to her for a long time to cheer her up. Only when he heard the fatigue in her voice did he coax her to go to sleep.
Outside the room, Lian Jing expressionlessly listened to his son and Shen Yin’s conversation. Naturally, he clearly heard what Shen Nian said about leaving with Shen Yin. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He had been worried about why he could not get through to her. Now, he knew that Shen Yin must have blocked his number! How else could she receive a call from her son but not from him!
This despicable woman actually wanted to bring her son to live with another man!
He would never let her have her way!
Lian Meng stood behind him worriedly. She was afraid that Lian Jing would not be able to control his emotions and kick the door open, drag Shen Nian out and beat him up.
However, she had underestimated his love for Shen Nian and Shen Yin. How could he bear to touch his son? He turned around angrily and went downstairs. He continued to shout at Zhong Xin to hurry up and find out where Shen Yin was.
Lian Meng heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to do something to get to the root of the problem. At the moment, Shen Nian was the only person who knew the truth.
She took a deep breath and raised her hand to knock on the door slowly. When she met Shen Nian’s expressionless face, she forced a big smile. “Nian Nian, can you let Auntie in? I have something to tell you.”
Lian Meng had always been very good to Shen Nian. After her return, she had brought him gifts almost every day. It was obvious that she wanted to dote on her only nephew.
Shen Nian appreciated her intentions. This matter only concerned his mother and father and had nothing to do with Auntie. Naturally, he would not vent his anger on Auntie for no reason.
