Chapter 6 Ignorance, Madness
Sheng Li was about to step forward.
Wen Shuyi instinctively shrank back.
Not every "I'm sorry" can be answered with "It's okay".
She shook her head.
Sheng Tingwang gently placed the umbrella in Wen Shuyi's hand.
He unbuttoned his coat, took it off, and draped it over the woman's shoulders.
The fabric, still warm from his body, instantly wrapped around her rain-soaked shoulders.
In the process, he casually took the umbrella back.
My fingertips brushed against her cool, slender fingers unintentionally, like an illusion, yet as hot as a raging fire.
"You have the right not to forgive," he said.
Wen Shuyi raised his eyes.
Her warm, moist eyes looked at him...
His voice was deep and clear, and the rain was pouring down behind him, yet he seemed to be shielding her from the storm.
There were no unnecessary movements.
There was no deliberate attempt to comfort her.
This almost silent thoughtfulness, like a warm current, slowly and surely flowed into her cold and aching heart.
Wen Shuyi slightly curled her fingertips.
My eyes were misty; I couldn't tell if it was from the rain or something else.
Her eyelashes slowly drooped.
Her voice was barely audible, "I want to go back."
"it is good."
Sheng Tingwang did not look at Sheng Li again.
Her fingertips gripped Wen Shuyi's shoulder. "Let's go."
The two left without any attempt to hide their presence from Sheng Li.
He was suddenly struck by lightning.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he shouted angrily at the receding figure in the rain, "I told you you had something going on! Sheng Tingwang, you dog! You eat the Sheng family's food, drink the Sheng family's drinks, and you even stole my woman... are you even human?"
Sheng Li felt humiliated like never before.
After returning home, I became angrier and more resentful as I thought about it.
He smashed everything in the room to pieces before he finally felt a little better.
Shen Xinwan looked at the mess on the ground.
Her brow furrowed involuntarily. "What's wrong? Who upset you?"
"It's all because of that Sheng Tingwang." Sheng Li was still angry and smashed Wen Shuyi's cup again. "And Wen Shuyi, those two are just too much of a bully."
"Is it really necessary?" Shen Xinwan called the nanny over to clean up the broken things on the floor before dismissing the servants and coming to Sheng Li's side. "What's there to be angry about? Sheng Tingwang can't even be considered a member of the Sheng family. Why are you arguing with him?"
"He's bullying me now, how can I not stand up for him?"
This is a matter of face.
Sheng Tingwang did not give it.
He certainly wouldn't let it go so easily. "I'm the only grandson of the Sheng family. He's bullying me now. I don't believe that Grandpa will still protect him."
"Even if you think he and Wen Shuyi are having an affair, you need to have some evidence, right? That way your grandfather will believe you. If you just say it without any proof, your grandfather will only think you are being unreasonable and crazy."
Shen Xinwan gently hugged Sheng Li's arm, her soft and charming demeanor calming his anger considerably. "I don't have any evidence yet, but I can't swallow this."
"Are you being arrogant and presumptuous, or are you actually concerned about Wen Shuyi? You're so angry, could it be... that you've fallen for her?"
Shen Xinwan felt a little jealous.
Her soft voice carried a hint of grievance, which made Sheng Li's heart ache. "Of course not, don't overthink it. You know how I feel about you. For you all these years, I haven't given Wen Shuyi a title. How could I fall in love with Wen Shuyi?"
Shen Xinwan's expression softened.
A slight smile appeared on her lips. "Then you're not allowed to fall in love with her in the future."
No, it won't.
Sheng Li lit a cigarette and took a drag on his lips.
He admitted that besides being arrogant, presumptuous, and meddlesome, he was also somewhat possessive.
Regardless of whether he loves Wen Shuyi or not.
He had gotten used to Wen Shuyi revolving around him.
He took a deep breath and slammed the cigarette out into the ashtray beside him. "Although Sheng Tingwang isn't a member of the Sheng family, if I confirm what he and Wen Shuyi did, what do you think will happen to Grandpa if he finds out?"
"Do you want to kick Sheng Tingwang out of the Sheng family?" Shen Xinwan asked.
In the eyes of all members of the Sheng family, Sheng Tingwang was a thorn in their side.
This is the best opportunity to get rid of him.
"That's right."
Shen Xinwan thought it was unrealistic. "Sheng Tingwang has military merits, and half of the Sheng family's current glory was earned by him. Grandpa probably wouldn't..."
The glory of the Sheng family comes not only from Old Master Sheng.
All of this was brought about by Sheng Tingwang, who did not belong to the Sheng family.
Sheng Tingwang is a man who crawled out of a bloodbath.
Having served as a special forces soldier abroad for many years, he once single-handedly wiped out an entire company.
They eat raw meat and drink deer blood.
He survived three months of extreme wilderness survival without dying.
His honor wall at home is covered with medals.
Within and outside the red circle, whenever the Sheng family is mentioned, people naturally think of Sheng Tingwang.
Grandpa Sheng doted on him in an extraordinary way.
"Grandpa always sides with what's right, not his own family," Sheng Li said confidently. "They've gone so far as to bully me; Grandpa won't make a mistake."
Shen Xinwan wasn't that optimistic.
It will take some thought. "Ah Li, I have an idea."
"Oh?" Sheng Li lowered his eyes and leaned closer. Shen Xinwan whispered in his ear, "...I think Grandpa will definitely believe it this way."
"But wouldn't this...?"
"Ah Li, I've done all this for you, so please don't let us down in the future..."
Sheng Li hugged Shen Xinwan tightly, "Thank you, Xinwan. I will definitely love you and Mimi well."
"...I would do anything for you." Shen Xinwan hugged Sheng Li's neck tightly.
……
Wen Shu was also in the rain, and it was unclear how long he had been walking.
It took her a while before she remembered that Sheng Tingwang's leg wasn't in good condition, so she stopped apologetically. "I'm sorry, I... for a moment... Third Master, let me take you back, I should go back too."
Shengyuan is not small.
But when two people of such status walk together in the rain, it's inevitable that they'll gossip.
"Feeling better?" he asked, his voice calm and gentle.
Wen Shuyi nodded, "Mm."
"I know a very skilled crystal repairman. I can give you his contact information if you need it."
Sheng Tingwang's voice was faint and hoarse.
Wen Shuyi couldn't help but look up at him, a warm feeling rising in her heart. "I've already found a shop, and the chef said we could give it a try... People Third Master knows should be more reliable, if possible..."
"Of course." Sheng Tingwang took out his phone, seemingly casually, "Add me on WeChat, and I'll send you my contact information."
Wen Shuyi paused for a moment, but without thinking much, she immediately scanned the code and said, "Oh, okay."
Sheng Tingwang sent the crystal repairman's phone number to Wen Shuyi.
She copied and saved it.
He put his phone away. "Thank you, Third Master."
Wen Shuyi smiled.
Although it was a somewhat polite but perfunctory response.
But the harvest was still not in full bloom.
Especially the two shallow dimples at the corners of her lips, which give off a feeling of first love.
"No need," he said politely.
……
A few days later at the Sheng family home.
Wen Shuyi noticed something was different early in the morning.
The nannies who usually hide away and slack off are now all around me.
The living room was spotless, and everything that needed replacing had been replaced. The pressure cooker in the kitchen was hissing and releasing a fragrant aroma that made Wen Shuyi feel a little hungry.
Could it be that Old Master Sheng has returned?
Then came a loud, forceful cough.
Grandpa Sheng was wheeled into the living room by his personal nurse.
Following behind was a large entourage of the Sheng family.
Wen Shuyi quickly moved to the side.
His eyes inadvertently caught sight of Shen Xinwan.
She smiled at Wen Shuyi, a smile that seemed to conceal something...
