3166 Can't Give up



"You don't seem to be eighteen years old! I really can't judge you from your appearance," Shen Xiyin's older brother said in amazement. Once he said it aloud, he realized it wasn't polite. Therefore, he immediately changed his words. "Miss Leng, I just mean that you're incredibly smart at such a young age. It's impressive."

"I'm flattered, Mr. Shen," Leng Xiaoyao said.

"No, no, I mean it. Miss Leng, you're very modest," Shen Xiyin's older brother said.

This time, Leng Xiaoyao only smiled and said nothing.

After the meal, they addressed one another differently. The Shen family called Leng Xiaoyao Xiaoyao instead of Miss Leng, while Leng Xiaoyao called them Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, and Brother Shen.

Shen Xiyin sent her father a message, saying that she and Leng Xiaoyao needed to talk with he and her older brother about something important. She told her father to make up an excuse and take them to the study.

After reading the message, Mr. Shen didn't wonder what two young girls could talk about with him because Leng Xiaoyao wasn't an ordinary girl. Therefore, Mr. Shen said, "Oh, Xiaoyao, I learned a lot from our conversation just then. I ran into a difficulty and don't know how to deal with it. Can you help me?"

"Of course, I'm more than willing to help you, Uncle Shen, but if I'm not useful, please don't be mad at me," Leng Xiaoyao said.

"I won't. Let's go to our study now! Xiyao, Xiyin, you two go with me," Mr. Shen said.

"Sure." Shen Yiyao and Shen Xiyin answered, then walked to the study with their father.

Because it was business, Mrs. Shen and Old Mrs. Shen didn't go with them.

In the study, Mr. Shen invited them to have a seat, then asked, "What is it?"

Shen Xiyao was struck dumb for a second. Didn't his father ask Leng Xiaoyao to help him? It sounded as if Leng Xiaoyao wanted to talk about something with his father instead.

"Uncle Shen, Brother Shen, it might sound crazy to you. And it could be hard for you to accept it, but it matters a lot and it's about Xiyin's safety, so I thought you should know," Leng Xiaoyao said seriously.

Upon hearing that, Mr. Shen and Shen Xiyao frowned with displeasure.

"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Shen.

"I can't tell you much, because you won't believe it. You can listen to a recording first," Leng Xiaoyao said. Then she turned on her laptop and played the voice recording of Shen Yamei's conversation with Lu Laosan.

They recognized Shen Yamei's voice at once, so they didn't doubt it at all.

Because they were sure it was Shen Yamei, they were furious after listening to the content.

Shen Yamei was Shen Yaping's biological younger sister and Shen Xiyin's biological aunt, but she tried to harm Shen Xiyin.

They could barely believe it. If there wasn't a voice recording and Leng Xiaoyao had no evidence, they would think it was a slander.

However, it was indeed Shen Yamei's voice. No matter how unwilling they were to accept that, they had to believe it.

"Jade pendant, evil power? What do they mean? Why will a person get weak and have nightmares after wearing the jade pendant?" asked Shen Xiyao. He felt it sounded extremely strange. "Why does aunt want to harm Xiyin? Why does she want to get Xiyin out of the designing industry?"

"How did you get this voice recording?" asked Mr. Shen. Before figuring everything out, he still had doubts if the voice was indeed Shen Yamei.

"By hacking," Leng Xiaoyao said. She didn't keep it a secret. In order to convince them, she had to be honest.

"You can hack? That's amazing." Shen Xiyao's eyes lit up at once. He admired hackers a lot because they were incredibly skilled and could do anything on the Internet.

"Yes." Leng Xiaoyao answered.

"Dad, do you have an impression of this jade pendant?" asked Shen Xiyin. She took out the jade pendant and said, "This is a gift from aunt. I didn't wear it and gave it to Chenjun's younger sister the other day, but Chenjun's younger sister got sick right afterwards. She had nightmares every night. Within three days, she was nearly dying."

"Because Chenjun's younger sister is Xiaoyao's schoolmate, Xiaoyao noticed her change. This jade pendant caused Chenjun's younger sister to get sick. After knowing that it's a gift from me, Xiaoyao came to see me and talked to me about it. I had no idea that this jade pendant was harmful. I would never try to hurt Chenjun's younger sister, so we became suspicious of my aunt."

"I didn't think my aunt would harm me at the beginning. I thought my aunt got this jade pendant by chance and gave it to me, but we met her today and her reaction proved that she's aware of the problem with this jade pendant. Xiaoyao then hacked into their calls and heard her conversation with a man called Lu Laosan. That's how we made sure of it."

Shen Yaping and Shen Xiyao were furious after hearing Shen Xiyin's words. At the same time, they were surprised that Leng Xiaoyao knew about the existence of evil power.

"Why does aunt want to harm Xiyin? Why does she want to get Xiyin out of the designing industry?" Shen Xiyao couldn't accept it. Shen Yamei had a good relationship with them. Why did she suddenly try to harm Shen Xiyin so badly?

"For her daughter of course. Didn't aunt just mention that her daughter will be mad at her if she can't get me out of the designing industry? Cousin and I both major in jewelry design. We never got along since we were little. Perhaps she lost her cool after I made achievements in the industry. She asked aunt to harm me and get me out of the designing industry," Shen Xiyin said through her teeth.

They understood that, but still couldn't accept it.

To their astonishment, Shen Yamei didn't hesitate to harm her own niece out of jealousy. It hurt them deeply.

"If it's really been done by her, we must make her pay for that," Mr. Shen said. Shen Yamei was his biological younger sister, but he wouldn't forgive her for trying to harm his daughter.
