Chapter 48: Sudden Outburst!

Shi Yi gave Shen Chujin a deep look, then turned and left.

He went back to his room, took a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and only then came downstairs.

By this time, the table was already filled with a lavish spread of food.

“Just in time. Go quickly and call Jin’er and your sister to come eat,” Grandma Mo said with a smile, waving at him.

“Grandma, we’re back!”

As soon as Grandma Mo finished speaking, Shen Chujin and Shi Xiaofei walked in from outside.

“Then come sit quickly. Our family can finally have a proper meal together.”

Around the large round table, the four of them each sat on one side.

Shi Yi and Shen Chujin happened to be sitting directly opposite each other.

Shi Xiaofei eagerly picked some food for Shen Chujin and said, “Sister-in-law, I just found out that you’re the same age as me and also a student at Imperial Capital University.”

Shen Chujin was stunned for two seconds.

Then she responded with a soft “Mm.”

If Shi Xiaofei hadn’t reminded her, she might have nearly forgotten she still had to go to school.

“In that case, we can go to school together when the semester starts,” she said with some excitement.

It was currently summer vacation, and school would start in about half a month.

But then her expression drooped.

“It’s just that you’re in the Art Department, and I’m in the Music Department, so we can’t take classes together.”

“But don’t worry, I’ll find a chance to visit you!”

In just a second, she regained her energy.

Shen Chujin smiled as she looked at her—this lively spirit was beautiful.

Her smile was just caught by Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was slightly stunned but quickly returned to his usual calm, averting his gaze from her face.

Because Shi Xiaofei was there, the meal wasn’t boring.

She talked a lot about the new and interesting things she encountered during her recent travels.

Shen Chujin listened quietly, occasionally pressing her lips together.

Her manners while eating were especially graceful, like a carefully raised young lady from ancient times.

Shi Yi noticed that she seemed to particularly like spicy dishes.

But it also seemed that she couldn’t handle spicy food very well — every time she took a bite, she showed a satisfied expression, but soon after, she would gently sip some warm water.

That little gesture was somewhat cute.

So he couldn’t help but often shift his gaze toward her.

Grandma Mo, who noticed this scene, quietly smiled.

Hmm, very good.

It seemed that her grandson wasn’t hopeless after all.

From the moment she first met Jin’er, she felt that she and her grandson were a perfect match—she never made mistakes when judging people.

Four people, four different mindsets during the meal.

But overall, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

After the meal, Shen Chujin sat in the rocking chair in the courtyard, enjoying the cool air.

Shi Yi came over.

“Why did you come over today?” he asked.

Shen Chujin was about to answer, but Shi Xiaofei beat her to it.

“Sister-in-law came to help the Lu family, so she happened to have a meal at home.”

Help the Lu family?

Help with what?

Shi Yi raised his eyebrows, about to ask more, when his phone suddenly rang.

He answered it.

“Where are you?”

After hearing something, his expression immediately grew much more serious, as if a layer of frost had covered him.

“Okay, I’m coming right away. Keep an eye on the person.”

After hanging up, he turned and strode off toward the garage.

“Brother, where are you going?”

“Something came up.”

“Oh.”

Shi Xiaofei thought something had gone wrong at the company again, so she didn’t ask further.

Shen Chujin, however, glanced lightly at Shi Yi’s back.

“Sister-in-law, are you going to do a live stream later?”

Just as Shi Yi’s figure was about to disappear, Shi Xiaofei suddenly thought of something, her face lighting up with excitement.

If it was a live stream, could she watch it live on site?!

That would be really thrilling!

“Not good! The Lu family just called and said that Xiao Beibei suddenly had another episode!”

No sooner had Shi Xiaofei finished speaking than Grandma Mo hurried anxiously to the front door and called out.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chujin immediately stood up from her seat.

Why did it come on so much earlier than expected?

She furrowed her brows and said, “We’ll go over now.”

So, the three of them quickly got into the car and rushed to the Lu family’s home.

Shen Chujin also posted an update on Luluo’s live stream, saying tonight’s broadcast would be delayed and the specific time was yet to be decided.

When they arrived at the Lu residence, Old Madam Lu’s eldest son was already waiting at the door.

He paced back and forth anxiously, his face full of worry.

“Master Shen, you’ve finally arrived!”

Seeing Shen Chujin get out of the car, he almost burst into tears from excitement.

“Hmm, lead the way.”

“Y-yes, yes.”

Before the group even entered the house, they heard a piercing, shrill scream.

The sound was somewhere between a human and a cat.

It was extremely strange to hear.

It seemed very agitated, just listening to it made one feel that the source of the sound carried a violent energy, as if wanting to destroy all things beautiful.

Shen Chujin did not dare delay and quickened her pace significantly.

Her figure flashed forward swiftly, overtaking Shi Xiaofei and the others by a good distance in the blink of an eye.

Shi Xiaofei’s eyes sparkled with admiration.

Wow!

Her sister-in-law is amazing!

So handsome, so lovable!

Brother must have been blessed for eight lifetimes to marry someone like sister-in-law~

As Shen Chujin just reached the second floor, she saw Old Madam Lu and Lu Wanying anxiously looking up toward the end of the hallway.

There, a window was open.

On the windowsill, a two-year-old little girl was lying down like a cat.

Her eyes were bright blue, her mouth wide open, showing her teeth, wildly screaming at Lu Wanying and the others.

“Xiao Beibei, come down quickly, it’s dangerous!”

Old Madam Lu shouted anxiously.

She was so agitated she almost lost her balance.

“Grandma!”

Fortunately, Jiang Baiyuan arrived just in time and steadied her.

“Don’t get too worked up. Master Shen will be here soon, everything will be fine.”

He trusted Shen Chujin a lot.

Beside them, Lu Wanying was crying so hard she was gasping for breath, and suddenly fell to her knees.

“It’s all my fault. I know it’s my fault that your child is in this condition. If you want to kill someone, kill me. My daughter knows nothing, this isn’t her fault!”

“Hmph, you killed my child, so I will take your child’s life to pay the debt!”

A grown woman’s voice came from Xiao Beibei’s mouth.

Under the cover of night, the voice sounded extremely terrifying.

Everyone knew this was not Beibei’s voice, but… that demon cat’s!

As soon as the voice faded, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Beibei’s mouth.

Then, without any warning, she jumped out of the window.

“No!!!”

Lu Wanying stumbled forward hurriedly.

Her husband also struggled desperately to save her.

But no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t match the speed of Beibei’s falling body.

At this moment, the cat-like scream changed back into Beibei’s original voice.

The terrified, frightened cries pierced everyone’s heart.

All their faces changed drastically.

“Beibei!”

“No!”

“Ahhhh no!”
