Chapter 90 - Guilt
Chapter 90: Guilt
“Is what you said true?” Qi Yan wanted to confirm again. She kept staring into Emily’s eyes, wanting to see if Emily was lying.
Emily nodded without blinking. Only then did Qi Yan feel relieved. She patted her chest with some lingering fear and said, “That’s good, that’s good. If you get hurt because of what I told you, I’ll definitely blame myself to death.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. Brother and Sixth Brother will not be so easily bullied.” Emily patted Qi Yan’s shoulder with understanding.
“In that case, I’ll go back first. My chauffeur should be waiting for me outside now. Millie, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Qi Yan waved at Emily. However, her gaze inadvertently glanced at Shen Nan who was sitting in the classroom. Very quickly, no one noticed.
“Go quickly, bye.” Emily also waved at Qi Yan. Seeing Qi Yan leave, Emily returned to the classroom. Looking at Shen Nan, who was sitting in his seat. He looked at Emily with a look of helplessness.
“Millie, it’s only the first day of school. Actually, we really don’t have to work so hard.”
Looking at the people leaving one after another in the classroom, Shen Nan felt as if his heart had been scratched by a cat. He felt very uncomfortable, but Emily insisted. He couldn’t do anything about it.
“No, I have to wait for Brother to finish school. It’s only forty minutes anyway. It’ll be very quick.”
Actually, Emily was a little hesitant. If nothing happened to Shen Yu, it would be fine. But if something really happened and Shen Nan was with them, would he be implicated as well? Wouldn’t she be too selfish?
“Sixth Brother, I… I’m sorry…”
The sudden apology made Shen Nan stunned. He frowned slightly and quickly realized that Emily had waited for Shen Yu to finish school because of something. But why would she let him down? Shen Nan could not figure it out.
“I… Today, Qi Yan told me that Qu Li has the support of some seniors. I’m afraid that those seniors will find trouble with Brother, so… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have let you accompany me.”
Emily’s voice became lower and lower, and her head became lower and lower. She admitted that she was not kind, but she really did not trust Shen Yu alone.
As soon as Emily finished speaking, she felt an obvious pain coming from the top of her head. She hurriedly covered her head and looked at Shen Nan with a frown. She was very dissatisfied. She had already apologized, so why did Shen Nan still want to hit her?
“You’re getting bolder and bolder. You actually dare to hide such an important matter and make your own decision? If Fifth Brother finds out, you’ll suffer.”
“Don’t…” Emily hurriedly pulled Shen Nan’s hand. She had been hiding it because she did not want to tell Shen Yu. “Don’t tell Brother. I’m afraid he’ll be worried.”
Shen Nan was about to reach out and knock on Emily’s head again. Emily narrowed her eyes and subconsciously dodged.
Shen Nan helplessly put down his hand and looked at Emily with disappointment. “If you don’t tell Fifth Brother now, when Fifth Brother finds out, what do you think Fifth Brother will do?”
“He’ll be angry…”
“You know Fifth Brother will be angry, yet you still do this? Fifth Brother is most worried that you’ll put yourself in such a dangerous position. Fifth Brother would rather get injured than let you get hurt. Moreover, with such a weak hand, if something really happens, do you think Fifth Brother will protect you or himself?”
Emily lowered her head. She admitted that she was confused because of her concern. When she knew about this, the first thing she thought of was to accompany Shen Yu. As for the rest, she had not thought about it at all.
“Forget it. Fifth Brother is not safe, and you are not safe either. After all, the culprit is you. Those people will not touch Fifth Brother because of the Shen family’s face, but they will touch you. The person in the most danger is you, do you know that?”
Shen Nan was somewhat glad that Emily still had some brains and knew to ask him to accompany her. If Emily was alone in the classroom, what would happen if something really happened? With Emily’s small arms and legs, the more Shen Nan thought about it, the more worried he became.
“Sixth Brother, I was wrong…” Emily lowered her head and apologized sincerely. She really did not think too much at that time. She was just afraid that Shen Yu would get hurt.
“Forget it, I know that you are worried about Fifth Brother. Don’t worry, we will resolve this matter. During this period of time, no matter where you go, you have to call me.”
