Chapter 438: Meeting Her In-laws

She knew very well that agreeing to Huang Yue’s request was not as simple as finding a lawyer for her. The Shen family was the one who found the lawyer. No matter what, others would have to give the Shen family some face. In the end, Huang Yue would be sentenced lightly and even receive preferential treatment in prison. This was what Huang Yue wanted.
“I think you should talk to your parents about this. It’s very important. It’s not as simple as hiring a lawyer.”
Hearing Wen Nian’s words, Shen Jun was slightly surprised. He did not expect Wen Nian to be so sharp now.
He pulled her small hand and rubbed it in his palm. Then, he asked, “You don’t plan to let her talk about Wei Xiao? Are you not going to take revenge on your uncle’s family?”
“Huang Yue doesn’t get up early without benefits. This kind of thing definitely has to be negotiated. She won’t say anything without benefits.” Wen Nian held his hand and said solemnly, “Now that someone wants to harm you, your matter is the top priority. Since we know that Wei Xiao harmed my uncle’s family, there will always be evidence to investigate. However, we can’t delay the Jiang family’s matter.”
Hearing her words, Shen Jun only felt comforted. He held her in his arms and smelled the familiar scent on her body. Only then did he relax a little.
Wen Nian hugged him tightly. She knew that something big might have happened to the Shen family while Shen Jun was home. He just didn’t want her to worry, so he never told her.
Just as Wen Nian was feeling touched and thought that Shen Jun was always thinking for her, Shen Jun’s next sentence still made her feel dizzy.
“Come home with me tonight.”
Wen Nian was still a little confused when they arrived at the entrance of the Shen Jun family’s villa. She had no idea why she was here.
Shen Jun only said that she was the only one who could explain this clearly. He also said that ugly daughters-in-law had to meet their in-laws eventually. In the end, he dragged Wen Nian to the house.
The moment Shen Jun pressed the doorbell, Wen Nian finally came back to her senses. She turned to leave.
“Where are you going?” Shen Jun grabbed her waist, preventing her from breaking free.
“I, I, you, let go of me!” Wen Nian struggled hard, but she couldn’t break free at all.
She had no choice but to beg for mercy. “Shen Jun, it’s enough for you to tell your parents alone. It’s not appropriate for an outsider like me to be present. Besides, I’m not prepared. Look at me! How can I see your parents dressed like this?”
Shen Jun looked down at Wen Nian’s pale yellow dress and a pair of white shoes, which made her look pure and energetic. He said seriously, “You look quite good in this. Your skin is fair. You look good in anything.”
Hearing that he had automatically ignored the main point, Wen Nian struggled even harder. She had never thought of meeting Shen Jun’s parents in such an awkward manner.
Just as Wen Nian was about to bite Shen Jun’s arm, the door was opened.
Zhao Jiao was wearing pajamas and doing a facial mask. When she opened the door, she saw Shen Jun looking down at Wen Nian dotingly. Wen Nian was biting Shen Jun’s arm fiercely.
The moment the door opened, the three of them were stunned.
Shen Jun quickly retracted his hand and called out, “Mom.”
“Mom?” Wen Nian followed suit and called out. Then, she reacted. “Mom! Ah, no, no. Hello, Auntie. I’m Wen Nian.”
She bowed quickly, the collar of her dress standing up. Shen Jun adjusted it for her without making a sound. She blushed instantly, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Jiao’s lips twitched and she glared at Shen Jun fiercely. “Brat, why didn’t you tell me you were coming back?”
Then she turned and ran as fast as she could to the cloakroom on the second floor.
Was there a mistake? This was the first time she had seen the daughter-in-law she had been longing for. She was actually wearing pajamas and a facial mask? This affected her perfect image too much!
When Shen Mo heard the sound at the door, he also walked out. He was slightly surprised at first, then asked someone to prepare some tea and fruits.
“Wen Nian? Hello, I’m Shen Jun’s father. I’ve long heard of you. Indeed, it’s better to see you in person.” Shen Mo’s voice was gentle and there was a smile on his lips.
“Hello, Uncle. I’m Wen Nian. Yes, yes…” Wen Nian wanted to say that she was Shen Jun’s classmate, but Shen Jun held her hand without batting an eyelid. Her face was so red that she was about to turn purple. She couldn’t bring herself to say the word “classmate”.
Shen Mo rolled his eyes at Shen Jun and coughed. “I know, I know.”
“Know what?” Madam Zhao Jiao, who had dressed up as quickly as possible, slowly walked down from the bedroom on the second floor.
She was wearing a burgundy evening gown with a huge pearl necklace and 10cm high heels..
