Chapter 143: The Mist

"I actually thought Ji Beichuan was a good man before. What a scumbag!" After entering the door, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't hide her anger and quickly blurted out.

Ling Xiaoxiao's words successfully silenced Shen Qingshan and Shen Nanyi. Their gazes shifted to Ling Xiaoxiao.

"I saw Ji Beichuan on the street today!" Ling Xiaoxiao was so angry that she didn't think much. She took out her phone from her bag and flipped out a photo.

Before Shen Nanyi could take a look, Shen Qingshan snatched the phone directly and zoomed in on the photo.

This sight was quite something. Shen Qingshan's face quickly turned ugly.

Previously, Ling Xiaoxiao was so eager to tell Shen Nanyi the news that she just blurted it out as soon as she came in. She didn't even think that Shen Qingshan would be there. After seeing Shen Qingshan, Ling Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, he was an elder. It always seemed a bit disgraceful to let the elder know about such things, but it was too late to regret now.

"This brat, I'll go find him!" After retiring, Shen Qingshan had put all his focus on Shen Nanyi. As soon as he saw that Ji Beichuan was fooling around outside, Shen Qingshan's anger flared up instantly. He grabbed Ling Xiaoxiao's phone and walked out.

The only confused person in the whole room was Shen Nanyi. She didn't even know what had happened and just watched helplessly as Shen Qingshan changed his expression at an extremely fast speed.

Turning to look at Ling Xiaoxiao, Shen Nanyi felt that she was extremely eager to know the answer.

Looking at Shen Nanyi, Ling Xiaoxiao instinctively wanted to avoid her gaze.

But no matter how much she tried to avoid it, she couldn't escape Shen Nanyi's eyes. Finally, she gritted her teeth and simply told Shen Nanyi what she had seen today.

Today was Shen Ye's book - signing event in City A. Ling Xiaoxiao naturally went there to join the fun, but unexpectedly ran into Wu Fang.

When enemies met, their hatred grew fiercer. But before Ling Xiaoxiao could go over to 'catch up' with Wu Fang, she saw a familiar figure.

Ji Beichuan was actually with Wu Fang. And judging from his tone and body language, their state was like that of a couple.

Especially when Shen Ye was holding the press conference, Wu Fang was a bit short in height. Ji Beichuan actually picked her up so that she could get a closer look at her idol.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiaoxiao was immediately enraged. She casually took a few photos as evidence and then rushed to find Shen Nanyi.

"He even pretended not to know me. It's just too hateful!" As she spoke, Ling Xiaoxiao still felt rather indignant.

At first, she also thought it was a misunderstanding and wanted to go over and listen to Ji Beichuan's explanation, but who would have thought that he would just act as if he didn't see her.

Listening to Ling Xiaoxiao's description, Shen Nanyi always felt that something was wrong with this matter.

Thinking of what Ji Beichuan had said to her before, Shen Nanyi felt as if she had missed something.

But now Shen Nanyi simply didn't have the time to think so much. Shen Qingshan had rushed off angrily to find Ji Beichuan. No one could say for sure what would happen if she didn't stop him.

After giving a few instructions for Ling Xiaoxiao to go back first, Shen Nanyi rushed out in a hurry. Fortunately, Ji Beichuan's house was just opposite. Shen Qingshan was knocking on the door, and there seemed to be no sound from inside the room.

"Ji Beichuan, come out right now!" It was true that Shen Qingshan was old, but his body had always been in good condition. Coupled with the fact that he was now angry, his voice was so loud that the whole corridor could hear it.

"Grandpa, let's go back and talk about this. There's no need to be so angry." Afraid that the old man would get angry and hurt his body, Shen Nanyi wanted to persuade him to go back first.

"Don't interfere in this matter. Don't worry, grandpa will definitely make him give you an explanation. If this brat doesn't keep his word, I'll go to the Ji family!" Shen Qingshan was so angry that he didn't even listen to what Shen Nanyi was saying. He continued to knock on the door.

Shen Nanyi tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail. There was nothing she could do but accompany Shen Qingshan and wait there.

Fortunately, not long after, the elevator dinged and Ji Beichuan came back.

The atmosphere in the corridor made Ji Beichuan feel a bit strange, but he thought and thought and couldn't figure out what he had done to anger Shen Qingshan again. He could only brace himself and walk over. "Grandpa, you could just call me if you have something to say."

As he spoke, Ji Beichuan lowered his stance extremely low, afraid that any wrong word would make Shen Qingshan unhappy again.

Looking at Ji Beichuan with a cold face, Shen Qingshan felt that he was becoming more and more unable to see through the young man in front of him.

"Take a look for yourself!" Not wanting to explain too much to Ji Beichuan, Shen Qingshan directly showed him the photo on the phone.

Looking at the photo in front of him, Ji Beichuan's face also turned ugly.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his fingernails dug into his flesh.

He had already made a lot of concessions. Why did they still do this?

"Grandpa, give me a few days. I'll handle this matter properly." He had a whole bellyful of words to explain, but Ji Beichuan simply didn't know how to say them. After looking at the photo a few times, he pushed open the door and walked in.

After waiting for a long time but not getting a single explanation, Shen Qingshan's face became even uglier. He shouted that he was going to the Ji family.

It took a lot of coaxing from Shen Nanyi to persuade Shen Qingshan to go back.

Actually, Shen Nanyi herself also had a lot of questions in her mind. She always felt that Ji Beichuan's performance today was a bit strange.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Qingshan went back to rest at night, Shen Nanyi quietly came to Ji Beichuan's door and reached out to knock.

She knocked a few times, but there was no sound inside. It was extremely quiet.

Shen Nanyi then tried to call Ji Beichuan's phone. The phone rang, and through the door, Shen Nanyi faintly heard the ringing sound.

Now Shen Nanyi was sure that Ji Beichuan was at home. She increased the strength of her hand and knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no sound inside.

Looking at the password lock on the door, Shen Nanyi entered a series of numbers. The door opened, and Shen Nanyi gently pushed it open and walked in.

As soon as she entered the room, Shen Nanyi smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.

This was completely different from the Ji Beichuan she remembered. There shouldn't be such a smell in Ji Beichuan's room.

After looking around, Shen Nanyi finally saw a figure in the corner beside the sofa.

The room was not lit. Shen Nanyi summoned up her courage and walked over.

There were some bottles lying haphazardly beside. They were all high - proof liquor, and some were already empty. It was not hard to see that Ji Beichuan had drunk a lot of alcohol.

As soon as Shen Nanyi stepped forward, before she could say anything, Ji Beichuan hugged her in his arms. His movements were so agile that Shen Nanyi even wondered if Ji Beichuan was really drunk. Could a drunk person have such agile moves?

Being hugged by a person reeking of alcohol, Shen Nanyi instinctively wanted to break free.

"Don't move." Just as she was struggling to get up, Ji Beichuan's voice sounded. Different from his usual voice, at this moment, Ji Beichuan was like a cub seeking protection. His low voice was tinged with a bit of vulnerability.

Hearing this voice, Shen Nanyi didn't move anymore. She just let Ji Beichuan hug her obediently.

The two of them just sat there. Neither of them said a word. Ji Beichuan's head rested on Shen Nanyi's shoulder.

At first, Shen Nanyi didn't pay much attention. She just instinctively patted Ji Beichuan's back, but later Shen Nanyi actually faintly heard a few sobs.
