Chapter 238 Shao Mushi & Lin Miao

Shao Mushi was a reckless and unruly person from a young age.

He was not ashamed, but rather proud.

Shao Mushi always felt that he was luckier than his older brother, as he was born into wealth.

When Wen Shiyan gave birth to Shao Muwen, she was still in the stage of starting a business with her husband. After Shao Muwen was born, he lived an ordinary life with his parents for a period of time, moving several times and experiencing a rather turbulent life.

When Shao Mushi was born, he was raised in a mansion, with a nanny, a housekeeper, and a group of people taking care of him.

After his third brother was born, Shao Mushi's life became even more comfortable.

He was never a studious person; he preferred playing to studying. Being praised and having high expectations placed on him were things for his older and younger brothers, not for him.

People say that the second child is the one who suffers the most in the family, and is prone to eating undercooked food.

But Shao Mushi was a very carefree person. He didn't feel wronged at all. On the contrary, he felt that it was good that his parents didn't care about him, so that he had more time to do his own things.

His parents don't care about him, but they let others take care of him.

When buying a house, Wen Shiyan places great importance on the environment. She doesn't care about good feng shui; she hopes her children can be immersed in a scholarly atmosphere.

So when Shao Mushi started elementary school, they moved again. At that time, his younger brother Shao Muyan was only five years old and was already a well-known child prodigy.

The eldest is a top student, the third is a child prodigy, but the second is like a genetic mutation.

All they do every day is play, fight, and cause trouble.

Wen Shiyan was very worried. He felt that if his second son continued to be raised like this, he would definitely become a spoiled brat. He had to correct this behavior in time.

However, the couple were busy with work and had little patience. After trying to tutor them a few times, Wen Shiyan felt that if he continued to teach them, either they would be driven to their deaths or Shao Mushi would be beaten to death.

Let's outsource it.

So, Shao Mushi was sent to the Lin family next door.

The Lin family is a typical scholarly family. The Lin couple are a university teacher and a high school teacher, respectively. They have a daughter named Lin Miao, who is about the same age as Shao Mushi.

As her name suggests, she is very pretty.

When Wen Shiyan arrived at the Lin family home with gifts and his son, Lin Miao was playing with mud in the yard. When she looked up, Shao Mushi was stunned.

"Not enough water? Let me help you."

Upholding the spirit of helping others, Shao Mushi unzipped his pants and urinated into the mud puddle.

Lin Miao was stunned.

Wen Shiyan was exchanging polite words with the Lin couple when he heard a loud cry outside. He rushed out and saw Lin Miao pressing Shao Mushi into a mud pit, crying and hitting him at the same time.

"Who told you to pee in my castle? I'll crush you under a mountain of fingers! You little rascal!"

"..." It was the parents' turn to be stunned.

The Lin couple originally wanted to refuse; one daughter was enough for them, let alone another brat.

But since his daughter had beaten someone up so badly that they had black eyes and their mouths were full of mud, it was really unacceptable, so he had no choice but to accept this "student".

So Shao Mushi stayed at the Lin family and became Lin Miao's page.

The two had been fighting since they were young. Shao Mushi had indelible teeth marks on both arms, inflicted by Lin Miao.

Lin Miao has a crescent-shaped scar on her knee, which she got from a boy digging it out with a hoe while saving Shao Mushi. Of course, Shao Mushi later knocked out the boy's two front teeth.

They grew up together, until their senior year of high school, when Lin Miao had to go abroad to study due to her parents' job transfer, and she and Shao Mushi were completely separated.

This separation, I never imagined, would last for several years.

When they met again, everything had changed.

There was another person by Lin Miao's side.

A man.

—

"Hello, I am He Xiaoran."

A man with slender, angular features and frameless glasses stood beside Lin Miao. He extended his hand to Shao Mushi, glanced at Lin Miao, and added with a smile, "Miao Miao's fiancé."

Shao Mushi: "..."

He was very petty and felt that the latter identity was a deliberate addition by this guy.

To avoid lowering Lin Miao's profile, Shao Mushi acted quite generously, shaking hands with He Xiaoran and saying, "Shao Mushi."

During that dinner, He Xiaoran and Shao Mushi had an awkward conversation the whole time. Lin Miao didn't say much; her personality had changed a lot since then.

With her short, dog-chewed hair and respectable attire, Shao Mushi listened to He Xiaoran's long-winded talk about the current financial market and his business empire after returning to China, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

Seeing that Lin Miao wasn't eating very well, Shao Mushi suddenly blurted out, "Are you pregnant?"

One sentence startled Lin Miao so much that her hand trembled.

He Xiaoran also suddenly raised his head.

Shao Mushi clicked his tongue, frowned, took the juice from Lin Miao's hand, and called over a waiter: "Could you please bring me a glass of warm water?"

Lin Miao frowned as she looked at Shao Mushi. Seeing her expression, Shao Mushi suddenly felt a sense of crisis and took a step back.

"what?

Shao Mushi said, "Don't try to hide it from me. The way you're dressed means you're either pregnant or possessed."

"..."

Lin Miao's chest heaved, and she suddenly burst out with all the pent-up anger she had been holding in for so long, not knowing how long she had been watching Shao Mushi.

"Shao Mushi, are you out of your mind?!"

Her outburst of anger stunned everyone present, including He Xiaoran.

Shao Mushi smiled.

Oh, the former Queen Miaomiao is finally back.

This is the way he is familiar with.

—

When Shao Mushi received Lin Miao and He Xiaoran's wedding invitation, he remained silent for a long time.

I don't know why, but it feels like a piece has been ripped out of my heart; it feels empty and painful.

But he couldn't explain why it hurt.

Getting married is a good thing, isn't it?

Shouldn't he be happy for Lin Miao and sincerely wish her well?

Although her fiancé looks respectable at first glance, upon closer inspection he's a complete egomaniac, but Lin Miao likes him, so what can she do?

Oh, Lin Miao isn't pregnant; it wasn't a shotgun wedding.

It's just that aesthetic tastes have changed.

She's clearly a beautiful young woman, but she insists on dressing herself up like an old lady. Tsk tsk.

When Wen Shiyan got home that evening, he asked Shao Mushi if he had received Lin Miao's wedding invitation.

Sigh, you always bring up the things you don't want to talk about.

"Received it." Shao Mushi silently took away the piece of cantaloupe that his father was about to put to his mouth.

Shao's father: "..."

Mrs. Shao patted Shao Mushi's head for her husband, then handed him a piece of food, sighing softly, "Miaomiao has really had a tough time. Who knew Professor Lin would run into something like that? Have you been to the hospital?"

Shao Mushi quickly finished a piece of melon and nodded: "I've been there. Aunt Zhao's condition is quite stable, and a kidney donor has been found."

"Let's make some time to go and take a look tomorrow or the day after."

Mrs. Shao said to her husband, "The Lin family doesn't have many relatives in Beijing. A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We should help them out as much as possible. Professor Lin and Teacher Zhao have helped us a lot in the past, and we should repay that favor."

Mr. Shao nodded and said "Mmm".

Shao Mushi leaned back on the sofa, watching the television screen, his thoughts already wandering elsewhere.

Until Mrs. Shao patted him and said, "Cellphone."

Shao Mushi snapped out of his daze, picked up his phone, and saw that it was a message from Lin Miao.

Thank you for helping my mother find a kidney donor.

My heart pounded twice.

Shao Mushi clutched his heart and suddenly understood why he felt heartache.
