Chapter 5: Go to Her Room

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Mom, I’m fine. Let go of me. I’m going to be strangled to death.” Sheng Jiu patted Madam Sheng’s arm. She was almost out of breath from the hug.

Only then did Madam Sheng let go of Sheng Jiu. When she saw Shen Xiuwen push the door open and get out of the car, she said gratefully, “Xiuwen, thank you for sending Little Jiu back. Did this child cause you trouble?” Sheng Jiu had been very afraid of strangers since she came back from the Buddhist temple. In order to let her familiarize herself with society as soon as possible, the Sheng family encouraged her to go out more often. It didn’t matter even if she caused trouble. The Sheng family would help her clean up. Every time she went out, she would have bodyguards secretly follow her, but she lost her today, so Madam Sheng was terrified.

Shen Xiuwen replied, “Auntie Lan, Sheng Jiu didn’t cause any trouble. He just got drunk at the bar. I happened to run into him, so I brought him to my place to sober up before sending him back. I’m sorry for making you worry.”

Madam Sheng waved her hand. “No, no. Thank you, Xiuwen. Fortunately, you were the one Xiao Jiu met. Who knows what would have happened if he had met someone else?”

Shen Xiuwen glanced at Sheng Jiu. Something big was about to happen. If it had been any later, Madam Sheng would have had a daughter-in-law and perhaps a granddaughter or grandson.

Madam Sheng said, “Xiuwen, it’s getting late. Stay here for dinner before leaving.”

Sheng Jiu was shocked. “Mom, Fourth Brother Shen…”

Before Sheng Jiu could finish, Shen Xiuwen nodded and said, “Okay, Auntie Lan.”

Sheng Jiu: “…”

“Little Jiu, take your Fourth Brother Shen around. Previously, everyone was busy because of you and we didn’t have time to prepare dinner. I’ll inform your father, brothers, and sister to come back now. The Sheng family will be tortured by you, you Little Fool.” Madam Sheng’s tone was reproachful, but it was more heartache. Moreover, when she sent the young Sheng Jiu to the Buddhist temple, she was not allowed to visit her for eighteen years. She was afraid that it would affect her good fortune. The Sheng family had not seen Sheng Jiu for eighteen years so they lacked eighteen years of interaction with her. Now that they had finally brought Sheng Jiu back, they naturally doted on her a thousand times. In the eyes of others, Sheng Jiu was a Little Fool, but in their eyes, Sheng Jiu was the treasure of their family. They would kill anyone who dared to bully her!

“Mom, Fourth Brother Shen is very familiar with our house. He can walk around by himself…” Sheng Jiu wanted to refuse, but the next second, Madam Sheng said, “Then bring him to your room. Xiuwen has never been to your room.”

Sheng Jiu was speechless. Dear mother, although she was a boy to the outside world, she was actually a girl. Why should she bring a man to her room?

“Fourth Brother Shen, let me show you the backyard.” Sheng Jiu took Shen Xiuwen to the backyard. As soon as they stepped in, a strong German Shepherd ran toward them excitedly. When Shen Xiuwen saw a black dog pounce on them, he subconsciously wanted to block Sheng Jiu behind him. “Sheng Jiu!”

Unexpectedly, not only did Sheng Jiu not dodge, but she also took a step forward and opened his arms to catch the dog that pounced on her. The man and dog rolled on the ground. Sheng Jiu stroked the German Shepherd’s head and could not stop smiling. In her previous life, she had also raised a German Shepherd. After seven or eight years, it died of old age. She even cried for a long time.

“Who let the dog out? Do you want to die?!” The third daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Fengjiao, who had just entered the backyard, was scared out of her wits when she saw Sheng Jiu being pounced on by the dog. She rushed to Sheng Jiu and pulled her up. “Little Jiu, are you alright?”

“Third Sister, I’m fine.” Sheng Jiu patted the dust off her body.

“Who let the dog out! How many times have I told you not to let the dog out when Little Jiu is at home!” After confirming that Sheng Jiu was fine, Sheng Fengjiao shouted at the servant with a cold face! Sheng Jiu, who came out of the Buddhist temple, was completely out of place in this society. There were many things she was afraid of, and dogs were one of them. The first time she saw this German Shepherd, she was so frightened that he suffocated and fainted! Therefore, there was an additional unspoken rule in the Sheng family. As long as Sheng Jiu was at home, the German Shepherd would be locked in the kennel and was not allowed to be released.

“Speak!” Sheng Fengjiao was usually beautiful and carefree, but when she was angry, she was still very terrifying. The servants trembled and did not dare to speak.

“Third Sister, it’s okay. Don’t be angry. I think this dog is quite cute. It didn’t bite me. It just came over and licked my hand.” Sheng Jiu gently pulled Sheng Fengjiao’s hand, not wanting her to be angry because of a dog.

“Little Jiu, are you not afraid of dogs anymore?” Sheng Fengjiao looked at Sheng Jiu in confusion. Was this the same Sheng Jiu who had fainted from fear when she first saw a German Shepherd? How could she say that dogs were cute? It was unbelievable.
