Chapter 23: Master Shen is my sister-in-law?!

Knock knock knock~

She knocked on the door.

Then quietly waited.

One minute later—

Creak~

The door opened.

An unbelievably beautiful face appeared before her—completely bare-faced, yet stunningly breathtaking.

Shi Xiaofei’s pupils instantly contracted.

Staring at Shen Chujin in front of her, she was completely dumbfounded.

“Master Shen?! What are you doing here?!”

She quickly looked down at the slip of paper in her hand, then glanced at the door number on the wall.

No mistake—it was definitely here.

But why…

Suddenly, it was as if something clicked in her mind.

Right! Master Shen must’ve come here to tell that woman’s fortune or read her face.

Tch. That woman actually had some taste, inviting Master Shen of all people.

Although Grandma Mo had posted a photo of Shi Yi’s marriage certificate in her WeChat Moments, it only showed the cover—so Shi Xiaofei had no idea what the woman Shi Yi married actually looked like.

Just as she leaned in to peek inside the room, about to ask Shen Chujin where her sister-in-law was—

Shen Chujin calmly spoke.

“This is my home.”

“Oh, oh, this is your home…” Shi Xiaofei responded with a smile.

But then her eyes widened suddenly. “What? This is your home?!”

Master Shen… Shen Chujin…

Both surnamed Shen!

It was like a string in Shi Xiaofei’s brain had been plucked.

Suddenly, everything became crystal clear!

Master Shen… is her sister-in-law!

Aaaaaaahhh!!

This was amazing!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Shi Xiaofei immediately grabbed Shen Chujin’s arm in a hug. “Master Shen, are you really my sister-in-law?”

The corner of Shen Chujin’s mouth twitched slightly. “It’s not wrong for you to think that.”

At least, logically speaking, for the next year, she did count as her sister-in-law.

Seeing that Shen Chujin admitted it, Shi Xiaofei’s face nearly split from smiling.

Haha! Master Shen was her sister-in-law!

Hers!

Grandma really was wise and amazing—she actually managed to bring Master Shen into their family!

In this moment, she completely forgot how angry she had been at first when she heard Grandma had arranged a marriage for her brother, calling her a stubborn old woman in her heart.

She also forgot about how she had vowed to test this sudden new sister-in-law, expose her true colors, and drive her out of the Shi family to give her brother some peace.

Right now, she was completely swept up in the shock and joy of Shen Chujin being her sister-in-law.

She was totally obsessed with the idea.

“Oh right, Sister-in-law, this is the house my grandma bought for you. I’ll call a moving company to help bring your things over later.”

After the excitement passed, she finally remembered her original task.

She hurriedly took out the house deed and keys from her bag.

Shen Chujin pushed them back. “I can’t accept a reward when I haven’t earned it. I won’t take this. I’m perfectly fine living here.”

As a practitioner of metaphysics, whether in her past life or this one, she had always believed that money was something external—something you couldn’t take with you when you came into this world, nor when you left it. As long as she had enough, that was enough.

As for a house, she didn’t care—anything that kept the sun and rain out was good enough.

If she let herself be blinded by material things, it would only trap her, cloud her mind, and do more harm than good.

“What do you mean it’s fine? This place is tiny and run-down—how can anyone live here?” Shi Xiaofei was clearly unhappy with Shen Chujin’s current living conditions.

This whole place wasn’t even as big as her own walk-in closet!

How could her sister-in-law live somewhere like this?

No way, absolutely not!

“If you won’t move in, then… then I’ll cry right here until you do!”

And with that, she actually started bawling her eyes out without caring about her image at all.

While crying, she kept sneaking glances at Shen Chujin’s expression.

Shen Chujin rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit helpless.

“If you keep crying, I’ll have no choice but to kick you out, and you’re not allowed to come here anymore.”

Hearing Shen Chujin say this so seriously, Shi Xiaofei sniffled and immediately stopped crying.

In her whole life, only her sister-in-law could give her such a strong sense of security.

She wanted to cling to her sister-in-law all the time—how could she be kicked out?

No way.

“But here you…” she tried to argue again.

Shen Chujin reassured her, “I’m doing fine living here for now. When I want to move later, you can come help me, okay?”

She would save money slowly and buy a house slowly—there was no rush.

“Okay!”

—

Shi Corporation CEO’s office.

After working almost nonstop for a full day and night, Shi Yi rubbed his temples, feeling tired.

Just then, his phone on the desk rang.

“Hello.”

He pressed the answer button and put it on speaker.

“Brother, why don’t you live with my sister-in-law?”

On the other end, Shi Xiaofei’s voice came through.

When she said “my sister-in-law,” there was an inexplicable sense of pride.

But overall, her tone sounded a bit complaining.

Shi Yi: “We don’t have feelings for each other. It’s not suitable for us to live together.”

“Heh, no eye for things! Just wait and regret it!”

Unexpectedly, the other side said this abruptly, then decisively hung up.

It sounded like she was full of some kind of dissatisfaction.

Shi Yi: ……

Staring at the phone screen that had gone black, he felt a wave of frustration.

Had this little girl gone out to play and messed up her brain?

However, after Shi Xiaofei’s reminder, he suddenly remembered Shen Chujin’s face again.

Strange—why did he keep thinking about her?

Shi Yi frowned.

“Mr. Shi, the meeting is about to start.”

Assistant Wei Lin walked in.

“Mm.”

Shi Yi slowly took a sip of coffee, then stood up and walked toward the door.

—

After seeing Shi Xiaofei off, Shen Chujin lay down on the bed and closed her eyes for a nap.

Perhaps because her soul was unstable, she easily felt tired.

After waking up, she went downstairs and ate a bowl of wontons, then started today’s live stream.

Maybe thanks to the effect of last night’s live stream, her account’s followers had already reached more than 83,000.

As soon as she opened the live stream, a large crowd poured in.

【Streamer, I’m your new fan!】

【Baby Don’t Cry: I’m a relative of someone who died in last night’s plane crash. I really thank you for helping record my mom’s last words and helping her reincarnate.】

Baby Don’t Cry sent a Luluo crown~

Baby Don’t Cry followed the streamer~

Baby Don’t Cry sent a Luluo castle~

The comment section was flooding fast.

The Shi family was also very lively.

“Grandma, come quickly! Sister-in-law has started her live stream!”

Shi Xiaofei excitedly shouted as she connected the TV screen.

After returning from Shen Chujin’s place, she told the story of how Shen Chujin had saved her at the airport.

She also praised Shen Chujin to the skies.

Grandma Mo sighed again, feeling proud that she had such good judgment to find such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law.

When she learned that Shen Chujin had started live streaming fortune-telling, she was extremely curious and asked Shi Xiaofei to notify her as soon as it started.

“Here she comes!”

Grandma Mo came to the living room full of energy.

Housekeeper Wang followed closely behind, carrying a fruit platter in one hand and some snacks in the other.

On the sofa, Grandma Mo and Shi Xiaofei sat side by side, their eyes fixed intently on the TV screen.

Grandma Mo’s eyes were full of affection.

Shi Xiaofei’s eyes were full of admiration.

It started!

The first caller was an elderly lady.

As soon as the video connected, she seemed to grasp a lifeline.

“Master Shen, I’ve heard you’re very skilled. Please help me find my granddaughter. She’s been missing for four days now, and I’m really worried she might…”

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.
