Chapter 2 What has she gained over the years?
She didn't feel much during her first time.
It hurts everywhere.
……
Early in the morning.
Wen Shuyi was still asleep when she heard the noisy noise.
"How could you still sleep? What did you do to Mimi yesterday? The child is so young, what if something happened to her? How am I supposed to explain this to the deceased Chen Ming? Wen Shuyi, you are so inconsiderate."
Wen Shu was also hungover, and had spent the whole night engaging in sexual activity.
She doesn't have a very good temper.
"She's not my child. What does it matter to me whether something happens to her or not?"
Eyes facing each other.
Usually, people who have done something wrong feel guilty.
however.
Sheng Li did not.
There was no Wen Shu either.
Sheng Li was surprised by Wen Shuyi's stubborn temper; she had always been obedient and was stunned for a moment.
"You...you still have the nerve to be right?"
"I'm not feeling well right now, please leave." Wen Shuyi pulled the blanket up, turned over, and faced away from him.
Sheng Li's energy was stagnant.
Instead of leaving, he sat on her bed and gently touched her forehead. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"Don't touch me."
Wen Shuyi was also stressed.
The thought that during the countless days she loved him, his hands were caressing that woman Shen Xinwan's body made her feel utterly disgusted.
Sheng Li frowned slightly. "What are you doing? Just because I said a few too many things to you yesterday?"
"I've been living in the Sheng family for two years, have you never even considered marrying me?"
Wen Shuyi sat up from the bed and questioned him without blinking.
Sheng Li's eyes darkened slightly. "Look, Chen Ming is my best friend. He just went through something so serious, I really can't be here at this critical moment... Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"Your friend died, it's not like your father died, what's wrong with that? Or have you never even considered it?"
Sheng Li remained silent.
She was somewhat annoyed by Wen Shuyi's questioning. "Shuyi, it's enough that we love each other. Marriage will only bind us. Haven't we gotten along very well these past two years?"
Warmth and sparseness also caused a sour feeling in my heart.
She knew perfectly well that this was the case, yet she insisted on getting an answer, only to humiliate herself.
"Since you haven't thought about it, let's break up. Let's not waste each other's time."
Wen Shu also got up and got out of bed.
She was wearing her favorite rabbit police officer-themed slippers.
Actually, there's a couple's version of these shoes.
She gave the other pair to Sheng Li.
He not only refused to wear it, but also gave it to the older woman who helped in the kitchen, thus crushing her good intentions.
At that time, she still loved him.
She naturally wouldn't think about other things, but things are different now, and she's starting to feel the pinch when it comes to money.
"Are you talking in your sleep so early in the morning?" Sheng Li recalled what the kitchen lady had said when he arrived, "Did you go to Sheng Tingwang's place? Someone saw you there last night, you two...?"
Sheng Tingwang was a special figure in the Sheng family.
There are rumors that he is the illegitimate son of the Sheng family.
Some say he is the descendant of a martyr who died for his country and was adopted by Grandpa Sheng.
There are different opinions.
When Grandpa Sheng brought him back back then.
The first wife of the Sheng family firmly believed it was the former, and in her anger, she suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and died.
From then on.
The branch of the Sheng family, from the first wife's side, had an irreconcilable feud with Sheng Tingwang.
"Is this any of your business?" Wen Shuyi took a deep breath and reminded him, "Also, watch your address. If Grandpa hears you calling Third Master his illegitimate son, he'll break your legs."
"Wen Shuyi, you'd better stay away from him..." Sheng Li said irritably, reminding her to be careful. "...I think you're still not awake. Wake up quickly and help Xinwan take care of Mimi in a bit. She's too tired and didn't sleep well last night."
This time, Wen Shuyi naturally did not heed Sheng Li's instructions.
I spent the day wandering around outside.
When they returned to the Sheng family home, Sheng Li, Shen Xinwan, and Mimi were all in the living room.
Sheng Li held Mimi tightly, his body pressed close to Shen Xinwan's.
While looking at something on his phone, Sheng Li's hand naturally rested on the woman's waist.
He would occasionally burst into laughter.
They look just like a family of three.
He looked so gentle, his eyes sparkling with laughter; he had hugged her like that before.
Wen Shuyi's heart still felt like it was entangled in vines.
At this moment, her appearance seemed somewhat superfluous.
Somewhat emotional, she kicked off her shoes.
The commotion caused all three of them to turn their gaze toward her.
"Where have you been? I told you to help Xinwan take care of Mimi, but you've been nowhere to be seen all day. I really don't understand what you've been up to all day long!"
Sheng Li's words were tinged with dissatisfaction and accusation.
It seems that Wen Shuyi was born to serve the Sheng family.
"Aunt Shuyi, where did you go?" Mimi ran to Wen Shuyi, her little hand with bandages gently grasping Wen Shuyi's fingertips. "Are you still angry with me? Mimi tried her best to pick up the glass, please don't be angry with Mimi, okay?"
Wen Shuyi didn't have any particular feelings about Mimi before, except that she was a bit mischievous.
The more I look at her now, the more she resembles Sheng Li; she's practically an evil child.
Wen Shuyi withdrew her fingertips, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Mimi, go play by yourself for a while." Shen Xinwan coaxed her daughter away, walked up to Wen Shuyi, and apologized, "Shuyi, it's my fault for not taking good care of Mimi. Where did you order that glass? I'll go and redo it for you right away, okay? Don't hold it against us, so as not to make things difficult for A-Li."
Shen Xinwan was understanding, and Sheng Li's expression softened a bit. "It's not anything valuable, we can just order another one. Chen Ming is in trouble, Xinwan and Mimi are the ones who need our care the most. Are they less important than your broken glass?"
"Ah Li... don't say that about Shu Yi."
Shen Xinwan held Sheng Li's arm with her small hand and gently squeezed it.
The ambiguous look in his eyes was not hidden from anyone.
After a moment, he turned to Wen Shuyi and said, "Shuyi, A-Li is also worried about my daughter and me. After all, he and Chen Ming were best friends, and Chen Ming just passed away... He's a bit short-tempered, but you won't hold it against him, right?"
These are the words and phrases associated with tea.
Wen Shu also wanted to laugh when he heard this.
Looking up, Wen Shuyi glanced at Shen Xinwan's face, which didn't appear haggard.
She wasn't particularly striking in appearance, but her features were exquisite, exuding a unique charm characteristic of women from the Jiangnan region.
Like... a wild lily in the wind.
Charming and alluring, she always manages to make people stop and linger.
Wen Shuyi also recalled some past events.
On her first birthday after joining the Sheng family, Sheng Li celebrated with her. When it was time to blow out the candles, he received a phone call saying that Shen Xinwan had twisted her ankle, and then he hurriedly left.
On the train back to Bincheng on the anniversary of her biological parents' death, Sheng Li said that Shen Xinwan's dog was about to have puppies, and he abandoned her without hesitation and left again.
When she had a stomachache and needed to be hospitalized, Shen Xinwan said she was afraid of thunder, so Sheng Li left her alone with the doctor...
At that time, she made up countless reasons and excuses for Sheng Li to cover up her mistakes.
She told herself that Chen Ming worked in another city, and it was only right for Sheng Li to help take care of Shen Xinwan.
Her adoptive mother often taught her that as someone who would become a daughter-in-law of the Sheng family in the future, she should not be petty, and she should not be jealous or competitive.
She did it.
But what did she get?
