Chapter 113 Disguise
As soon as the call rang, Su Baiyi immediately answered the call, and an anxious voice came immediately.

"Where have you been? Why haven't you contacted me for so many days? I'm worried to death. Do you know that I almost ran over to find you!"

Su Baiyi's series of words gave Zhou Shu no chance to explain.

But when he heard these caring words, Zhou Shu's first reaction was that his nose felt sore and he felt like crying for no reason.

At this moment, she actually saw Huo Yunling's figure on Su Baiyi's body.

They used to talk on the phone often, and Huo Yunling would always care about her anxiously.

Only she would care about herself like this.

Su Baiyi talked for a long time, but Zhou Shu didn't respond.

"Zhou Shu, are you okay? Why don't you say anything? Someone kidnapped you. Wait, tell me, how much do you want!"

Su Baiyi came to a conclusion on his own, and Zhou Shu burst into laughter.

"You have such a big brain!"

Zhou Shu's voice was slightly choked, but it was indeed her voice, and Su Baiyi felt relieved.

"Are you crying?" Su Baiyi asked cautiously.

If she were in front of him now, she would be at a loss.

Zhou Shu sighed lightly: "It's nothing, something happened recently."

"What's wrong? Is Li Jinyan not treating you well? Why don't you come back? I should have no problem raising you secretly."

Su Baiyi was too easy to fantasize, immersed in her own world, and didn't listen to Zhou Shu at all.

Zhou Shu quickly explained: "You are thinking too much, it's..."

She explained everything that happened during this period, and Su Baiyi was silent for a moment.

"Zhou Shu, you must marry into the Li family and be with Li Jinyan?"

Su Baiyi had just finished asking this question and already had his own answer.

So Zhou Shu didn't answer, and she didn't ask further questions.

After a long while, Su Baiyi asked again: "Shu Shu, what are you going to do next?"

When Zhou Shu heard this question, he suddenly felt a little powerless in his heart.

She really didn't know what to do.

The only person she could capture in the Li family was Li Jinyan, but Li Jinyan's attitude was not clear to her at this time.

Until now, she has not seen Li Jinyan, nor has she received a text message.

Maybe he went back to the Li family.

As for the rest, Zhou Shu didn’t know.

Feeling Zhou Shu's silence, Su Baiyi also knew that she had said the wrong thing.

"You don't have to worry so much. Even if the Li family refuses to admit it, I have already assigned hackers and they have started investigating. I planned to tell you two days ago."

"So, I haven't transferred the reward to you yet, but I'm in the hospital now. Is it still the same account as last time?"

"Don't worry, I still have this little pocket money." Su Baiyi said nonchalantly.

Zhou Shu also didn't want to take advantage of Su Baiyi.

"Then I'll give it to you in a few days. How much did you spend? Don't refuse me. Don't let the Li family's money go to waste!"

As soon as Zhou Shu said this, Su Baiyi refused.

"Okay, it's only 300 million!"

The Su family really dotes on Su Baiyi, and 300 million is nothing more than casual pocket money to her.

Speaking of which, this is the case for all eldest ladies from aristocratic families.

Naturally, she doesn't care about 300 million, but unfortunately, she is not a young lady.

But she was still touched by Su Baiyi's generous behavior.

While the two were talking, Li Jinyan pushed the door in and raised his eyebrows when he saw Zhou Shu talking on the phone.

"What are you talking about? What 300 million?"

The man's voice sounded, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Zhou Shu held on to the quilt and pretended to be calm. "I'm on the phone with Su Baiyi. Let's talk later." Zhou Shu responded softly to Li Jinyan.

The man nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and sat down not far away.

"Yiyi, thank you for caring about me. When I feel better, I can hang out with you again."

"Okay, let's go out to play again if we have a chance. You must take good care of your health!"

Su Baiyi repeatedly warned, to put it bluntly, she was telling Zhou Shu to recharge his batteries.

Zhou Shu responded, chatting casually about insignificant things.

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Zhou Shu still looked at Li Jinyan calmly. She looked tired and didn't want to pretend too much in front of Li Jinyan.

"What's wrong? What 300 million are you talking about?"

Li Jinyan waited until her call was finished before sitting next to her and asking curiously.

"Su Baiyi is interested in a piece of jewelry worth 300 million. Let me help with reference."

"That's it." Li Jinyan nodded perfunctorily.

To be honest, he didn't believe what Zhou Shu said at all.

But the fatigue on her face didn't seem fake, and her face was as pale as paper. Seeing that she was so weak, Li Jinyan didn't ask any questions.

What's more, he didn't know how to explain the Li family's decision at this time.

Zhou Shu's situation is really not good.

Li Jinyan wanted to tell her tactfully, but he hesitated before speaking: "Shu Shu, I have something to tell you!"

"Say." Zhou Shu knew clearly that it was probably about the engagement party.

"Shu Shu, something went wrong at the engagement banquet. The Li family didn't agree to continue holding the engagement banquet. They said that it would be just a family banquet. Don't be angry and listen to me. It just so happens that you need to take care of yourself now. I will compensate you later. .”

Li Jinyan said it tactfully, but Zhou Shu remained silent.

Seeing her lowering her head and saying nothing, Li Jinyan panicked for a moment.

"Shu Shu, this is only temporary. I will compensate you for whatever you want."

Li Jinyan made a promise, and the next moment, Zhou Shu suddenly raised his eyes and smiled.

Her smile was forced, and the corners of her eyes were a little red: "I understand, I can understand."

"I understand that my identity is not so easy for the Li family to accept. It was originally for the sake of the children. Now that there are no such children, it is normal for them not to accept me."

Zhou Shu's tone was calm, as if he had already accepted this fact.

If her voice wasn't choked and her eyes were red, Li Jinyan would really think she wasn't sad.

"It's all my fault. It's my failure to protect this child. I can't blame anyone."

Zhou Shu didn't make a fuss, he just took everything on himself.

This is completely different from what Li Jinyan thought.

He had already prepared for Zhou Shu to make a scene.

But he didn't expect that she would be so calm and obediently tell herself that she could understand.

This is really inconsistent with Zhou Shu's past perverse character. She has never been a worry-free person.

The same happened last time when we got engaged...

"Don't think like that. Someone wants to harm you. You can't be blamed."

His cold face softened a bit unconsciously, not as cold as before, and his words became gentler.

"Shu Shu, you don't have to think so much. All you have to do now is take good care of your body."

Zhou Shu curled his lips, his eyes still pitiful.

She is a smart person and always knows how to make a man happy. At this time, acting like a fool will only make the man impatient.

Who knows, I will hate her even more.

It would be better to take this opportunity to ask for his attention.

In fact, this method did work, and Li Jinyan's attitude became much softer.
