In her past life, Jiang Ruzhen gave all her family wealth to her adopted daughter. However, the adopted daughter pushed her down the stairs, broke her leg, and starved her to death.
On her de...
Chapter 250 Sincerity can move mountains and rocks.
"Break up? Is it that serious? It's only been a short time since we last saw each other, and you've already broken up? I'm not trying to be mean, Third Sister."
My brother Hui treats you so well, spoiling and protecting you every day. He wouldn't dare pluck the moon from the stars for you if you wanted them, holding you in his hands for fear of getting sunburned, and keeping you in his mouth for fear of melting.
Why are you so ungrateful? What are you doing? Ouch, why did you hit me?
Shen Zhuohang confidently lectured Shen Shuxin, but before he could finish speaking, he was slapped by Shen Shuxin.
"Shut up."
Shen Zhuohang stiffened his neck, looking defiant. Shen Shuxin was afraid that her silly younger brother would say something shocking that would attract the attention of other guests.
She had no choice but to lower her voice and say, "It wasn't me who broke up with him, it was him."
"What? It was my brother Hui who broke up with you. He finally couldn't stand your spoiled temper and dumped you?" the fourth brother shouted loudly.
Now everyone in the room heard it and looked towards their table. Shen Shuxin was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot, her fists clenched until they turned white.
She forced herself to calm down; after all, her little brother had just returned, and she couldn't very well kill him that very day.
She would make sure he knew why the flowers were so red by tomorrow.
"It's not your sister's fault. I was foolish, I got stuck in a rut, I deserve to die, I shouldn't be forgiven. I let your sister down, it's all my fault..."
Xie Hui couldn't stand the gossip around him, nor could he bear to hear anyone say anything bad about Shen Shuxin. He quickly stood up to defend Shen Shuxin.
The more he tried to explain, the more magnanimous he seemed, and the more petty Shen Shuxin appeared.
Shen Zhuohang's gaze toward his third sister grew increasingly strange.
Third sister's skills in training men are getting better and better. Did she learn it from Mom?
Even a top-notch pilot like Uncle Lu, a god-like figure in the military, is now being trained by his mother to act like a lapdog, always fawning over her.
Shen Shuxin was so angry at the look in her eyes that she almost lost her composure. Her mother kept praising the fourth child for being sensible and growing up.
In her opinion, he's grown taller but not smarter; he's still just as innocently foolish.
She withdrew the hand she was about to slap the fourth son to death, stood up and said, "Mom, let's go back."
Jiang Ruzhen nodded and led Xin Xin and Lao Si home.
It wasn't far from the courtyard house they bought for their fourth son. The three of them had just finished eating and were strolling home.
The fourth child, still confused, asked, "Mom, which way are we going?"
“Going home,” Jiang Ruzhen replied.
"We bought a house in Beijing too?" the fourth brother asked in surprise.
Jiang Ruzhen glanced at him and said, "Not only did I buy a house in Beijing, but I also opened a shop there. You can go and take a look if you're interested."
"Mom, you're amazing!" The fourth child was genuinely astonished.
So, he's been gone for almost a year, so what's the situation at home?
"What's the big deal? What if I told you that my family has already opened thirty or forty branches in the three northern provinces?"
Jiang Ruzhen said slowly, and the fourth brother's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ruzhen launched another powerful attack.
“I recently opened a factory with your Aunt Tang in the south, and we also have a shop there now.”
The fourth brother's mouth was so wide open that it could swallow a cow.
"Mom, you're amazing! Does that mean I'm now the son of a nouveau riche family? Does that mean I can spend money however I want from now on?"
The fourth brother asked innocently, and Jiang Ruzhen gave him a cool look.
"You wish! What have you contributed to the family? You just spend money like water? Your older brothers at least contributed to the family, which is why I gave them that share of the property. What about you?"
"You think you can just spend my money however you want? You're really clueless."
"Mom~~ There's only one mother in the world who's good, a child with a mother is like a treasure..."
The fourth brother grabbed Jiang Ruzhen's arm and shook it repeatedly, almost causing her to fall over.
"Alright, alright, we've arrived."
Jiang Ruzhen stopped and pointed to the courtyard house in front of her, saying, "Don't say your mother doesn't love you. This is a house I bought for you. Here are the keys."
Jiang Ruzhen handed the key to Lao Si, who was shocked.
"Mom, you bought me a house? A courtyard house in a prime location? Mom, I love you to death."
The fourth brother hugged Jiang Ruzhen and kissed her, then rushed in without waiting.
When he saw the small garden in the courtyard and the antique buildings, pavilions and towers, he ran around happily.
Jiang Ruzhen only realized when she saw the fourth brother that his personality had never changed; he had just forced himself to grow up outside.
She followed him inside, only to find no sound behind her.
She turned to look at Shen Shuxin, only to find her head bowed, lost in thought, seemingly preoccupied with something.
Jiang Ruzhen looked behind her and saw that Xie Hui had followed them and was looking over from a distance.
Jiang Ruzhen immediately understood and sighed.
This silly daughter, she clearly still has feelings for someone else, but she pretends to be indifferent. Isn't she just making herself suffer?
How stupid is that?
Why not just say it clearly?
She raised her hand and waved, and Xie Hui, seeing her gesture, hurriedly ran forward.
Jiang Ruzhen said to the two of them, "Life is short, don't keep being awkward just because of some face and self-esteem."
You must understand that accidents and tomorrow are unpredictable, so cherish these days when you can meet.
Even if you're no longer dating, you can still be friends. Make sure to talk things out as soon as possible.
As the matriarch, Jiang Ruzhen could only offer this much advice. She turned and went into the courtyard, still needing to check on her silly son to see if he was going crazy with joy.
Shen Shuxin and Xie Hui were both touched by Jiang Ruzhen's words.
Xie Hui was even more so when he remembered what Jiang Ruzhen had said to him during his most desperate moment that day.
He had subtly hinted that his leg wasn't in the worst possible state, telling him to stop making trouble and to think carefully about his future with Shen Shuxin.
But he was completely absorbed in the pain of the amputation and did not consider the feelings of his godmother and Xin Xin.
He was so selfish that he feels increasingly inferior the more he thinks about it.
He had witnessed Xin Xin's kidnapping in the past and thought she was very brave and strong at the time.
She was on the verge of death, but she never gave up on herself and kept trying to save herself.
But what about him?
It was just a small amputation that defeated him and broke down his psychological defenses.
He's really useless; he's not even as good as one of Xin Xin's fingers.
“Xin Xin, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong, I was so wrong. I was so selfish, I was only focused on my own pain.”
I have too much pride, and I'm always worried about being a burden to you in the future, but I've never thought about whether you're worried about being a burden to me.
Life is short, and it's so rare for us to meet someone we like in this vast sea of people. This is also the first time I've liked a girl, so please forgive my lack of experience and how I don't know how to handle this situation.
I truly know I was wrong to cause you harm. Please forgive me. Can you give me another chance?
As Xie Hui spoke, he hugged Shen Shuxin and choked up, sobbing uncontrollably. He truly realized the mistakes he had made and sincerely prayed that Xin Xin could give him another chance.
