After coaxing Shen Qinghuan to sleep after a sleepless night, Sheng Wu slowly put on her coat and stood up, walking to the table outside the bedroom. There were sheets of paper on which she had just practiced writing "Qinghuan".

But this time she did not use the brushwork taught by Shen Guiwu, but the brushwork taught to her by Shen Qinghuan. Sheng Wu's eyes paused, and then she walked out of Shen Qinghuan's room.

Walked out of the house.

She walked to the courtyard where the willows were broken, a place she had never been to before.

As soon as she entered, she saw Chen Zheliu lying leisurely on a rocking chair, holding a photo in his hand. The photo was a little yellowed and could not be seen clearly.

Sheng Wu came closer and could only see clearly from behind. The black and white photo showed a more mature Sheng Wu. Her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as ever, but there was a little more charm between them. She was holding a naked child wearing a bellyband in her arms.

It's a boy.

Sheng Wu walked forward, her footsteps not lightening. Chen Zheliu heard someone coming in an instant. He seemed to know who it would be, but he did not stand up. He just rocked slowly in the rocking chair, enjoying himself.

"It's finally my turn."

Looking at Sheng Wu who appeared before him, Chen Zheliu curled his lips indifferently, staring at her with playful yet gloomy eyes.

If Shen Junsheng is a wild and ferocious tiger, then Chen Zheliu is a poisonous snake with a dagger hidden in its smile, who only reveals his fangs when it gets dark and delivers a fatal blow to the enemy.

Sheng Wu curled her lips and stood one meter in front of him. She didn't sit on the stone bench, but looked down at him condescendingly.

"Tell me, what do you know?"

In this world, the seemingly carefree and naive young man is actually the most hidden one among the three sons of the Shen family.

Chen Zheliu stood up slightly, sat up casually and looked at Sheng Wu, then handed the photo in his hand to her.

"This should be a photo of you holding your big brother when you were 43 years old."

At that time, Shen Junsheng was only 1 year old, and Shen Guiwu was 20 years old.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu reached out and took the black and white photo. Her fingertips groped along the faded and blurred edges, and it was indeed her eyebrows and eyes.

"What do you want to say?"

Chen Zheliu raised his eyes and stared at Sheng Wu gloomily. His emotions seemed extremely stable, but there was an indescribable madness and coldness in them.

"Actually, you don't love anyone. Father, Big Brother, even Qing Huan, you haven't been moved. It was all just a trick to deceive them. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said you liked Qing Huan when you were 19, and liked Big Brother when you were 27, and you made Father wait for 22 years."

Sheng Wu slowly lifted her eyelids and nonchalantly looked at Chen Zheliu, who was the most sensitive to details in front of her. She pursed her lips.

"You have inherited Gui Wu's intelligence."

"But you know he never cares about us!"

Hearing this, Chen Zheliu's dark eyes darkened, and his rare emotions fluctuated.

"He, as a father, never cared about us. He just fed us like a dog, providing us with shelter and food. He never looked at us with the same care and gentleness he gave you! In fact, I think he resented us! He resented our existence! Especially after you showed up, he didn't even want to see us anymore!"

It seemed like the whole family was having a meal together harmoniously every day, but when Sheng Wu was not around, they didn't even have the chance to have a meal together as a family.

"So, you blame me?"

Hearing this, Sheng Wu's beautiful eyes half closed. From the days they spent together and Shen Qinghuan's few words, she really saw that Shen Guiwu didn't care about these three children at all, so much so that Shen Qinghuan and Shen Junsheng were somewhat indifferent to him.

And Shen Zheliu, who has always been carefree and seems close to Shen Guiwu, is even more sensitive and realizes that the missing fatherly love does not exist at all.

Hearing Sheng Wu's question, Chen Zheliu suddenly calmed down and smiled.

"Blame you, why should I blame you? I should be thanking you." After a pause, Chen Zheliu's clear and warm eyebrows curved, his handsome face showing a trace of morbid madness, and he slowly stood up.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our Shen family would never have such a reunion, nor would we have such superficial harmony. With you, my eldest brother will come home, my father will come back more often, Qinghuan will no longer be closed in her own world, and I can enjoy the reunion of our family peacefully."

"Little Mom, why do you want to leave? Wouldn't it be better if you stayed in the Shen family forever? I don't know why, but when I first saw you, I felt an inexplicable attraction to you. I know your eldest brother and the others are different. You have a sinful and dark feeling that I'm familiar with. Look, wouldn't it be better for the four of us in the Shen family to share you? This way, we can be together forever and feel like home."

From this perspective, Chen Zheliu is the most sober person.

But unfortunately, even though Sheng Wu had no contact with him, she could still hear it.

In the original storyline, Chen Zheliu's original name was Chen Xin, a villain who secretly plotted to seize his younger sister, Chen Huan. Even with his name changed, Chen Zheliu's temperament remains.

Sheng Wu heard this outrageous remark and raised an eyebrow maliciously. "So, you are a child who lacks love. You lack the love of your mother, the love of your father, and the love of your brothers and sisters. That's why you are so perverted."

He actually wanted all four members of the Shen family to possess her!

Hearing this, Chen Zheliu's gloomy eyes darkened. He suddenly stepped forward and got very close to her. His low and hoarse voice revealed a hint of sneer and instability.

"Little Mom, isn't it the same for you? You clearly know the situation of the Shen family, yet you still want to mediate between Father, Big Brother, and Qing Huan. Look, you are clearly the best match for the Shen family. Why don't you stay? Why leave?"

His handsome and elegant face was as white as mutton-fat jade in the sunlight, but his eyes, as bright as obsidian, were indeed dark and creepy.

Obviously, Chen Zheliu has regarded Sheng Wu as a part of the Shen family, as the stepmother who maintains the friendly relationship between the four people in the Shen family.

As he spoke, Chen Zheliu slowly stretched out his hand, took hold of a strand of Sheng Wu's hair, and wrapped it around his fingertips like a toy.

"Little Mom, I'm very good. You don't need to come near me. I will give it to you myself."

Chen Zheliu's head, which was much taller than Sheng Wu's, slowly drooped. He moved closer to her ear in an ambiguous and dark manner, sniffing the sweet fragrance of her hair.

"Leave...Who said I was leaving? I still have you."

Hearing this, Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows, and her narrow and cold eyes looked at the boy in front of her who looked like a puppy, and her lips curled up slightly.

She simply raised her hand, and her pale, powdery jade fingers touched the chest of Chen Zheliu, who was wearing a white shirt. Her fingertips circled his heart, which was ambiguous and seductive.

"Chen Zheliu, but you're so shy that your heartbeat quickens even when you're near me. Are you worth half of your father's charm?"

Her playful and mocking look was unabashedly playful.
