Chapter 73 He took his son's surname
This was the first time she had heard of using crutches, or the habit of using them.
"You must be exhausted from constantly keeping things a secret, right?"
Sheng Tingwang looked into the girl's half-understanding eyes.
Upon closer reflection...
He had never talked to Wen Shuyi about his past experiences of carrying guns and fighting.
It never mentioned how he was dug out of a pile of corpses and saved his life.
What he wanted to give her was sunshine and brightness.
Instead of those that are bloody, twisted, or even disgusting.
He changed the subject, saying, "Tonight, I've invited a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to give you acupuncture; that should help you recover faster."
"You're helping me like this to repay a favor? Then you'd better be realistic about what you can do; I don't have the money to pay you back."
"You don't need to pay me back," he said with a smile, as if it were a joke. "Just marry me."
Wen Shuyi's lips curled into a smile.
We're waiting for her here.
"You're overthinking it. This little bit of money isn't enough to make me sell myself." She thought for a moment and said, "Let's just consider this settling our old scores. We're even now."
He smiled.
Wen Shuyi's act of pretending to remember everything when she doesn't is really quite cute.
"Okay, whatever you say."
"Sheng Tingwang, my brother is undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. When will it end? Don't you think this is too cruel to him?"
Sheng Tingwang did not find it cruel at all.
They even felt that this move was the right one.
"If I told you that his intellectual abilities had recovered significantly because of this treatment, would you still think it's cruel?"
Wen Shu also did not understand.
Is it really that effective?
"Didn't he have surgery? Isn't the effect of this treatment better than surgery?"
"I can only say that different approaches will yield different results." Sheng Tingwang explained to her earnestly, "Qiao Shen's autism is acquired, which is much easier to treat than congenital autism. He needs more psychological guidance. Whether it's electric shock or anything else, it will only benefit his brain recovery and will not do any harm."
He took Wen Shuyi's hand.
He hoped she would believe him.
"I will never do anything to hurt you or your family. From beginning to end, everything I've done, whether right or wrong for you, has been done with good intentions. Shuyi, I love you, do you understand?"
Wen Shuyi: ...
What nonsense is this all about?
She awkwardly pulled her hand back, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Just get to the point. What's with all this talk about love? You think all women fall for that?"
"So, are you buying into this?" He smiled, his eyes crinkling.
Wen Shu also admitted that she was infatuated with him for a moment.
She may have amnesia.
My liking for handsome men hasn't changed.
She doesn't like all good-looking men.
Sheng Tingwang was exactly what she considered beautiful.
"I think," Wen Shuyi cleared her throat and said seriously, "that handsome men are useless. You know what a pretty face is, right? Empty-headed."
Sheng Tingwang chuckled.
She reached out and pinched Wen Shuyi's nose, saying indulgently, "Have you forgotten what it feels like?"
"I……"
She truly has no memory.
But this man looks pretty strong.
It shouldn't be just a pretty face.
bah bah bah.
Whether he is or not, what does it have to do with me?
Why does that little yellow girl always think about these things?
"Sheng Tingwang, can we talk about something healthier, like what kind of food is good for health, or what can I eat to help my back recover better?"
The blush on Wen Shuyi's face had not yet faded.
His gaze was somewhat unfocused, and he didn't dare to meet Sheng Tingwang's eyes.
The man raised his hand and ruffled her hair. "Don't worry, all the medicine and supplements you're taking to help with your recovery are the best."
"Well... thank you."
……
Several months later.
Wen Shuyi has already done quite well.
But it cannot be done for a long time.
For her, getting rid of the wheelchair and crutches was a tremendous joy.
She ran to the kitchen and said to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, please cook something nice today. I want to celebrate."
"Xiao Wen, your health is getting better and better, and Third Master is smiling more often. It would be even better if you could regain your memory someday."
Wen Shuyi didn't know when she would regain her memories.
She has now adapted to her age.
They've adapted, and they have a son named Duoduo.
As for his relationship with Sheng Tingwang.
She's more like a tenant.
Treat each other with respect, and behave in a proper and orderly manner.
There wasn't a single misleading action.
"Aunt Wang, what do you think of Sheng Tingwang?"
Aunt Wang said with a smile, "Third Uncle is a good person. He has no temper and is very generous. He takes good care of us laborers."
"Don't you think he's a very dishonest person?"
Aunt Wang stopped laughing and asked, "Where did you lie?"
"He told me his name was Lu Ji, but his real name is Sheng Tingwang. Tell me, if he even lies about his name, can he really be an honest person?"
Aunt Wang responded with an "oh".
He explained calmly, "I heard from Dr. Gu that Third Master's original name was Lu Ji. He was adopted by the Sheng family and that's when he changed his name. He didn't lie to you; you just didn't know it."
Wen Shuyi: ...
She seemed to understand.
Duoduo's name is Lu Qiaonian.
She had assumed that he had taken his son's surname.
So it turns out his surname is Lu.
Wen Shuyi wanted to ask something else.
There was a knock on the door.
Aunt Wang wiped her hands and went to open the door.
He saw a woman standing at the door.
She was momentarily taken aback. "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Lu Ji, is he here?"
Wen Shuyi craned his neck to look at the doorway.
A middle-aged woman dressed very simply, in a way that was a bit shabby. Her top was probably bought at a street stall for twenty or thirty yuan. Her pants were clean, but faded from washing. Her black leather shoes looked quite old.
Only his hair was combed very neatly, maintaining a basically presentable appearance.
Is he a relative of Sheng Tingwang?
Aunt Wang hurriedly asked, "Is there something you need from our husband? He hasn't returned yet."
"Can I go in and wait for him?" The woman introduced herself somewhat hesitantly and reservedly, "My name is Tang Fengyu, and I am his mother."
Wen Shuyi: ...Mother?
Aunt Wang was unsure and turned to look at Wen Shuyi.
Wen Shuyi dared not make that decision.
He then said, "Aunt Wang, why don't you give Sheng Tingwang a call? We're not part of this family. If we let an outsider in and something goes wrong, we can't afford the responsibility."
Aunt Wang thought that made sense.
He hurriedly took out his phone and called Sheng Tingwang.
Tang Fengyu stood respectfully at the door.
After Aunt Wang finished her call, she cautiously asked, "Did he say it's okay?"
"Third Master said you can come in and wait, but please don't move around unnecessarily." Aunt Wang opened the door and handed over slippers that guests only wear. "Please change your shoes first."
The woman nodded.
After changing her shoes, she walked towards the living room.
Wen Shuyi peeked at the woman, who wasn't too old, while leaning against the door.
Is this Sheng Tingwang's biological mother?
"hiss."
My fingertip got an electric shock from something.
The current wasn't large, but it flowed from head to toe.
Some familiar subtitles flashed through Wen Shuyi's mind.
Mother?
elopement?
