Chapter 143 Parallel Space (6)
This was the first time Xu Wen was so attracted to a boy, and Luo Wenzhou actually told her that the boy was dead. How despicable.
"You didn't lie to me?" Xu Wen held the photo in his hand.
Luo Wenzhou stepped forward and snatched the photo back, looking like someone who was not easy to mess with.
Xu Wen was not angry, and the people around him did not move when they saw that Xu Wenwen was not angry.
"What do you know specifically?" Xu Wen asked.
Luo Wenzhou glanced at Xu Wen and said in a cold tone, "Lin Shen was the young master of the Lin family before. I don't know the details. I only found out today."
"Which Lin family?" Xu Wen asked a little confused.
Luo Wenzhou's expression was cold, "The Lin family, one of the four great families in Imperial Capital."
Xu Wen pondered for a moment and looked at Luo Wenzhou several times, "I know, if you dare to lie to me, I won't let you go."
After saying that, Xu Wen left with a group of people.
A trace of doubt arose in Lin Shen's heart. According to the plot he had read, Xu Wen should have felt extremely resentful towards Luo Wenzhou after his confession failed, and might even commit some violent acts.
However, the scene before him surprised him. Not only did Xu Wen not speak harshly to Luo Wenzhou, but he asked about his situation in a calm tone.
Lin Shen looked at Luo Wenzhou. Luo Wenzhou's expression did not show any fear, but seemed unusually calm.
Lin Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Fortunately, Luo Wenzhou is fine."
He floated to Luo Wenzhou's ear and whispered, "It's good that she didn't hit you. Let's go back quickly. It's already dark. Your grandma will be worried soon."
Luo Wenzhou turned his head to look at Lin Shen, and their eyes met in the air. They were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.
Lin Shen instantly realized that the atmosphere was a bit strange and quickly floated back a distance.
Luo Wenzhou's expression remained calm, but his ears were already red.
Luo Wenzhou nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Lin Shen's proposal.
Afterwards, the man and the ghost set out on their journey home, and the night grew darker.

Xu Wen pushed open the door and stepped into the familiar space of her home. With brisk steps and a hint of urgency, she headed straight for her mother's room.
Her home was luxuriously decorated, and every detail revealed the family's wealth and taste. Although not as prominent as the four major families, it was still quite prestigious among the first-class families.
She found her mother sorting documents in her room, took her hand without hesitation, and led her to the sofa in the living room.
Xu Wen's mother was a little surprised, but she still obediently sat down with her daughter.
"Mom, you look so beautiful today. You must have worked so hard!" Xu Wen began her compliments, her eyes curved into crescent shapes and her face was full of smiles.
Xu Wen's mother looked at her daughter with a smile, her eyes full of doting and teasing: "Oh? What happened today? What trouble did you get into again? Do you need your mother to help you solve it?"
Xu Wen pouted in dissatisfaction and pretended to be angry and retorted: "Mom, how can you say that? I didn't get into trouble at all. How could I be such a person!"
There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, which made Xu Wen's mother couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing this, Xu Wen hugged her mother's arm even more brazenly, shaking her and acting like a spoiled child: "I really have something to ask you! It's very important!"
Her appearance surprised Xu Wen's mother. She seldom saw her daughter so well-behaved, and she couldn't help but become curious.
"Okay, tell me, what is it that makes you try to please me so much?" Xu Wen's mother asked with a smile.
Xu Wen's eyes lit up, she grinned happily, and finally asked her question: "Mom, have you heard of the former young master of the Lin family? The one named Lin Shen."
Xu Wen's mother's expression suddenly turned ugly, her smile froze on her face, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, which was a longing and sadness that Xu Wen had never seen before.
She looked at her daughter intently and asked in confusion: "How do you know this person?"
Xu Wen was shocked by her mother's change, but she answered truthfully: "I heard it from my classmates, and I also saw his photo. Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" Xu Wen's eyes were full of confusion and concern.
Xu Wen's mother took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but the sadness in her eyes could never completely disappear.
"What do you want to ask?" asked Xu Wen's mother.
Xu Wen thought for a moment and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "I heard that he is dead, is that right?"
Xu Wen's mother's eyes were unfocused, and she seemed immersed in a world of sadness.
Xu Wen didn't urge her, as she always felt that she would know something extraordinary.
"Shen Shen seems to have been dead for fifteen years. That year, there was no one who did not shed tears for him. The capital city was turned upside down that year, and many talented people died..." Xu Wen's mother's voice was filled with deep sadness.
Xu Wen didn't understand what her mother meant, and she looked confused, but she could hear her mother's affection and longing for him from her tone.
Xu Wen's mother looked at her daughter and asked, "Do you know your uncle?"
Xu Wen thought about it and she had some impression that he had died ten years ago and her mother rarely mentioned him.
She was still very young when her uncle died and was just born at that time, so naturally she had never seen him, but she heard her maternal grandfather mention him when she went to his house.
Whenever her grandfather mentioned her uncle, he always looked regretful and said that her uncle was the heir he had been training for more than ten years, that he was smart since childhood and was praised by everyone, but he just died.
She didn't know why her mother suddenly mentioned her uncle. What did this have to do with Lin Shen?
"Mom, why did you mention my uncle?" Xu Wen looked at his mother in confusion.
Xu Wen's mother's eyes were filled with deep sorrow. She opened her lips slightly and said, "Your uncle is a fool. He has loved Shen Shen for many years, but he dared not tell anyone else. He only told me, her sister, that after Shen Shen left, he committed suicide. He told me that he would go look for her. I think he should have found her now!"
Xu Wen’s eyes widened. His uncle liked Lin Shen?
"Mom, this..." Xu Wen didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xu Wen's mother looked at her daughter with a smile on her face, "You like it!" It was not a question, but an affirmation.
Xu Wen didn't dare to say it.
Xu Wen's mother smiled and said, "He is such a good person, anyone who meets him will like him."
Xu Wen also felt that his mother was right. Anyone who met Lin Shen would probably fall in love with him.
Xu Wen looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you like him too, right?"
Xu Wen's mother was stunned, tears instantly appeared in her eyes, "Yes, we grew up together, there was no one in Beijing who didn't like him, he was the most gentle, smiling gently at everyone, no matter who he was, he would help everyone, I also grew up with him, how could I not like him..."
The woman's words seemed to finally come out as time passed. It was ridiculous that the love she dared not express in those years was expressed in front of her daughter fifteen years later.
