25 You can act and I can pretend

Jiang Lai didn't know that Shen He'an had such a rich mental activity. She only knew that she didn't have classes tomorrow and she would have a small cake to eat later. She was so happy

. People who can have no classes on Mondays are the most enviable group of college students. Even if she only has no classes on biweekly, Jiang Lai is very satisfied, and even the law exam questions are not so annoying.

However, in order to coax herself to study, she still moved all her materials to the living room, turned on the large screen projection in the living room, played her favorite light music, and then studied while drinking the flower tea made by her aunt.

Jiang Lai is not a particularly hard-working person, but she happens to be a little smart and is very clear about what she should do. She knows that she can be lazy and slippery in other things, but since she has studied law, she must pass this certificate.

Jiang Lai has been working hard secretly behind others' backs, and this other person specifically refers to Shen He'an. Jiang Lai is very worried about one thing. She wants to get the certificate, but she doesn't want to appear positive in front of Shen He'an. What if Shen He'an's convulsions are cured?

Jiang Lai curled her lips. That’s right, in her eyes, Shen He’an is sick. She doesn’t like kind, gentle and perfect people, but has to like people with some flaws, like people who are useless. Isn’t this sick?

But it’s also thanks to Shen He’an’s illness, and thanks to her own shortcomings, that she was able to be favored by Shen He’an.

In the past year with Shen He’an, Jiang Lai has been maintaining these shortcomings in herself - love to drink, not ladylike, noisy, lazy, average grades... Although these are not shortcomings in Jiang Lai’s heart, no one can be perfect. Jiang Lai likes every part of himself, and can accept these insignificant little shortcomings.

But Shen He’an is different. He has always been at the top of the pyramid. His life is perfect, and most of the people he interacts with are outstanding celebrities. It’s normal for him to have a higher vision and pursue perfection more.

Jiang Lai's attitude towards Shen He'an's White Knight Syndrome was very contradictory. On the one hand, she was somewhat contemptuous of it, thinking that Shen He'an was just bored and had the leisure to save others, but if Shen He'an didn't have this disease, she would not have the chance to stay with him at all.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai was a little irritated. She put down her pen, bit the pen and stared at the questions on the tablet in a daze.

When Shen's mother came into Shen He'an's house, she saw such a scene - the girl was wearing a white loose sweater, tied a bun, and her fine hair was scattered on her cheeks. She had fair skin, and her eyes showed a little confusion because of her daze. The whole person revealed a kind of innocence that had not yet entered the society.

Shen's mother's heart skipped a beat. She only found out not long ago that Shen He'an had a woman. It was true that he had a beautiful woman in his golden house, but she didn't expect this "beauty" to be so young - she looked like a minor. Not to mention that there were study materials spread out on the table in front of her, more like a high school student.

Shen's mother stood at the door with a look of surprise and doubt. She has always had the key to Shen He'an's house, which was given to her by Shen He'an when he moved here a few years ago. But she has never been here, and maybe even Shen He'an has forgotten that he gave her the key.

The key came in handy at this time. She came here today for one purpose, which is to drive away Shen He'an's lover.

But if this lover is a minor, then things will become difficult. If she goes out to make a scene and others know that the only son of the Shen family has an affair with a minor, then not only will the stock market plummet, but she may also be imprisoned.

Because music was playing in the living room, Jiang Lai did not notice that the door was opened at first. When she was in a daze, she would always immerse herself in her own little world. It was not until the sound of high heels hitting the ground became clear that she suddenly came back to her senses, and then she saw a woman standing in front of her.

Jiang Lai was startled and the pen in her hand rolled to the ground. It's really not her fault that she had such a big reaction, mainly because she just watched a horror movie last night, and the female ghosts in horror movies are like this - wearing red high heels and bright red lipstick.

But there is still a difference, that is, the female ghosts in horror movies have their hair loose, while the woman in front of her has her hair meticulously tied up, and her expression is not expressionless like in horror movies, but slightly frowned, as if she is very contemptuous and very dissatisfied.

There is another difference, that is, even if the woman in front of her can be seen to have been carefully maintained and dressed up, it can still be seen that she is old.

Jiang Lai knew that this was Shen Hean's mother. When she was in the Jiang family, she occasionally attended banquets with her at Meng Man's request. As long as it was a more upscale banquet, Shen's mother would inevitably be there. Jiang Lai had heard

some discussions about her. Some said that she was amazing, and she could catch Shen's father tightly even though she had no background; some said that she was very pathetic, saying that she had been showing off for most of her life for her position in the rich family, and her eating was really ugly.

Jiang Lai did not comment on this, she just listened, and had no other thoughts.

At that time, she did not expect that she would meet Shen Hean's mother one day, and in Shen Hean's home, and in such an embarrassing scene.

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, and Jiang Lai bent down first and silently picked up the pen that had rolled on the ground.

While Jiang Lai was bending down to pick up the pen, Shen's mother hurriedly and carefully identified the information that Jiang Lai had placed on the table.

The scene was very funny for a while. One person with a bun that was about to fall apart tried very hard to reach the pen that had rolled under the coffee table, and another person stretched his neck very hard to try to see what the words were on the information that Jiang Lai had placed on the table.

The words on the information were too small. She only saw some laws and systems, and the rest was not clear. Jiang Lai had already picked up the pen and was about to stand up. She quickly adjusted her expression and said in a contemptuous tone: "Are you the mistress that He An kept?"

Then she looked at the expression on the girl's face in front of her and became very confused: "Ah? What mistress? I am the sponsor of Mr. Shen."

Shen's mother was silent. She looked at the girl's face without moving, frowning, and couldn't believe that her information was wrong.

But she really didn't know what Shen He An's mistress looked like. She only knew that there was such a thing, and she learned about it from her husband.

When she heard her husband ask her if she knew that Shen He An was with a girl, she was so horrified that she couldn't control her expression for a while. She raised her voice and said "what", but Shen's father reacted calmly and frowned and asked her what she was fussing about.

Shen's mother couldn't figure out what her husband was thinking. They were a couple, but they relied on speculation. Although Shen's father didn't react, Shen's mother guessed that he must have some complaints about Shen He'an not going to the marriage alliance but keeping a woman of questionable character in private, so she had planned to introduce a marriage partner to Shen He'an.

But Shen He'an was not enthusiastic about the marriage partner she introduced, and his attitude was just the same as that towards a business partner. According to the daughter of the Gu family, Shen He'an now directly used excuses to avoid seeing her. Every time she went to the company to find him, Shen He'an was always busy with one thing or another, and they hadn't even met in the past few days.

Shen He'an even said at the dinner table yesterday that he would not arrange a marriage alliance, and Shen's mother couldn't sit still at all. Today, while Shen He'an should be in the company, she took the key to come over to chase away Shen He'an's little lover.

But what she didn't expect was that the girl was obviously wearing casual clothes and was as free as the hostess of the house in Shen He'an's house, but she looked at her blankly and told her in a frank tone that there was no little lover, only sponsors and sponsored people.

Shen's mother knew that Shen He'an had always been doing charity work, and he often sponsored poor students to go to school. After all, he was an entrepreneur, and he always needed to do something to maintain his image.

But is it really just a relationship between a sponsor and a sponsored person? Shen's mother looked at the girl suspiciously, and the girl seemed a little embarrassed: "Auntie, are you... Mr. Shen's mother? Do you have something to ask him? He's not at home..."

Shen's mother felt something was wrong and interrupted her: "Why are you at He'an's house? Didn't you say you were just a sponsored student? Why did you live here?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Lai looked confused: "Mr. Shen said that this place is close to my school, which is more convenient for me to go to school."

Shen's mother frowned even more: "Don't you... have any other relationship?"

"What relationship?" Jiang Lai smiled sweetly at Shen's mother.

Shen's mother looked at the obviously immature and simple girl in front of her, and swallowed the "lover" in her mouth with difficulty, with a thousand thoughts in her mind. Could it be that Shen He'an himself had developed feelings for the girl he sponsored, and that's why he coaxed her to come home, intending to slowly develop feelings for the girl over time?

Obviously, it was her own son who was the beast, and Shen's mother couldn't go against her conscience to condemn a girl who had no crime at all, not to mention that she might be a minor.

But she still had to be punished, otherwise her trip would be meaningless.

So she pulled the corners of her lips and gave a polite and distant smile: "I won't bother you if He'an is not here, but please tell him to remember to come home for dinner tonight, and we need to discuss the engagement with the Gu family."

"Okay." Nu Xi's expression didn't freeze at all, and she still smiled sweetly at her, looking like she had no grudges at all.

Shen's mother finally said goodbye to her with peace of mind, but what she didn't notice was that the moment she turned around, the arc of Jiang Lai's mouth suddenly collapsed.
