Chapter 91 Unable to Empathize
Shen Xiyi smiled, then his mood became depressed again.
Seeing that she suddenly stopped smiling, Liang Junchen thought that his hand was too heavy and suddenly let go of her hand.
"Did it hurt you?" He touched the side of Shen Xiyi's face that had just been pinched and frowned slightly.
Shen Xiyi shook her head and then untied her apron: "This birthday gift is too expensive. I don't even know when your birthday is."
To be honest, Shen Xiyi really doesn't care about Liang Junchen.
She knew nothing about his birthday, his preferences, or his temper.
"It's still early. I'll take you out for a drive and then have something to eat." The man's voice was always gentle, which also showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"I can't leave here without someone."
"Someone will come to watch, let's go." After saying that, Liang Junchen directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the hot and stuffy kiln room.
There is a river running through the south city. When the weather turns cooler, the water level drops, revealing the riverbed covered with pebbles. Many people come here to play at night, which is comfortable and relaxing.
But there seemed to be few people on the river beach tonight, only night lights and camping equipment were placed in place.
The river breeze blew gently, blowing away the slight melancholy in Shen Xiyi's heart.
"Sit down." The man led her to the camping chair and asked her to sit down.
Looking up, the center of the Peninsula City is shining before your eyes, and the lights of the CBD exaggerate the prosperity of this city.
The city looks different from this angle.
"There will be a fireworks show later." The man sat beside her and took out a Qingshantang lunch box from the storage box beside her.
"Is there a festival today?" Shen Xiyi knew that setting off fireworks in a city like this was very restrictive and that you couldn't just set them off whenever you wanted.
The man separated the food boxes and placed them one by one: "Eat something first."
Shen Xiyi was really hungry, and the man changed the subject so easily that her eyes fell on the delicious food in front of her.
About twenty minutes later, a fireworks show began on the other side of the river. Shen Xiyi looked at the dazzling fireworks in a trance. Although it was fleeting, the moment the fireworks bloomed was so beautiful that it was unforgettable.
Later fireworks seemed to become more and more expensive, and began to have various patterns, until the last few words came into view.
'Happy birthday to my wife'
Shen Xiyi felt inexplicably sour in her heart. She actually didn't like celebrating her birthday. People who have never been loved don't need to celebrate their birthdays at all.
She has been used to it for so many years, but now this habit has been broken by Liang Junchen.
"What's wrong? Do you think it's vulgar?" Liang Junchen asked subconsciously when he saw that Shen Xiyi had no reaction for a long time.
When Song Bo proposed this suggestion, he was quite resistant to it, thinking that this method sounded like that of a nouveau riche.
"Such beautiful fireworks, how can they be vulgar? I like them very much, but I have never celebrated my birthday before." Shen Xiyi concealed his emotions.
When she was with her grandparents, the family’s financial situation was limited, so her grandmother would make a bowl of longevity noodles for her. Even if it was just a bowl of noodles, she felt happy and satisfied.
"We'll celebrate it every year from now on." The man didn't pay attention to her emotions.
Shen Xiyi felt that she was about to be coaxed into a frenzy by this man. Was she an important person in his eyes?
"Aren't you worried that your kindness will be wasted?" Shen Xiyi asked in a low voice after a while.
Liang Junchen leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed: "If you really want to be a dog, I have no choice but to find a rope to tie you up."
It was half a joke, but it also had a hint of truth.
Shen Xiyi was a little overjoyed just now, but now it felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her.
"Xiyi, promise me one thing, okay?"
"What's up?"
"Don't save your aunt, just stay by my side." The man's voice was gentle but tentative.
Shen Xiyi's whole body suddenly froze. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at him. The man didn't look at her. His profile was also very handsome at such a close distance. The warm night light cast a layer of soft light on his outline, and he looked like he had lived a peaceful life.
Liang Junchen waited for Shen Xiyi's answer for a long time, and his eyes gradually became cold.
"Xiyi? Why don't you answer me?" The man's voice became a little colder at this moment.
There is actually no evidence for Shen Si Mian’s incident in Liangyuan, it’s all Shen Xiyi’s guess.
Liang Junchen's words undoubtedly proved her guess.
Shen Xiyi controlled his emotions that were about to lose control and forced a smile: "You also know that my aunt has been in Liangyuan?"
Liang Junchen didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement.
"Uncle San is a very paranoid person, and he has a strong desire to control the people he loves. You will not succeed, but will get yourself into trouble." Liang Junchen made the interests involved very clear, and only hoped that Shen Xiyi could think carefully and think twice before acting.
The man slowly turned his head to look at her. The night light was dim, and even at such a close distance, Shen Xiyi couldn't see clearly what was in the man's eyes.
Shen Xiyi was silent for a long time, and his body gradually softened.
"Have you ever met your aunt?"
"No, Third Uncle cares about her very much and has always protected her very well. Xiyi, many things are not what you think."
Liang Junchen had already discovered the things Liang Jinsheng had given him. Although Shen Xiyi had hidden them secretly, he still saw them by chance.
Shen Xiyi pulled the corner of his mouth. Who could bear Liang Jinsheng's concern? A good person was locked up like a prisoner by him.
"You should still remember my grandma."
"Um."
"Her eyes were pierced by tears because she missed my aunt. Uncle San may not care about his relatives, but how could Aunt not care? Grandpa and Grandma are old, and their days are getting shorter and shorter. If Uncle San is determined not to let Aunt go, Grandpa and Grandma will never see their daughter until they die. This is also very cruel to Aunt herself. Such regret will accompany Aunt for the rest of her life. Watching Aunt suffer for the rest of her life, is this what Uncle San wants to see?"
Shen Xiyi said these words calmly. She didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Liang Junchen over these things.
Unfortunately, Liang Junchen, like Liang Jinsheng, is unable to empathize with the feelings of his so-called relatives.
Xiyi felt desperate when she saw the man's unmoved expression. She had already said so much, but the man still seemed unable to empathize.
Shen Xiyi felt so sad that she wanted to cry, but she couldn't. She had no tears.
If Liang Junchen insisted on hindering her, she would definitely not succeed. Since they were already so frank with each other, she might as well be even more frank.
After a long silence, Shen Xiyi spoke again: "You don't have to save her, but I want Shen Qingxue and Jiang Wan to be ruined. I want them to be like rats crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat them."
Liang Junchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes immediately softened a lot, as if he could accept these conditions.
"Why do you hate them so much?"
"It was Shen Qingxue who drugged my aunt back then. My aunt ended up in Uncle San's bed by mistake. No matter whose bed my aunt went to that night, the result would not be good. Shen Qingxue deserves to die." Shen Xiyi's hatred for Shen Qingxue was clear. Shen Qingxue was now on the road to hell.
"As for Jiang Wan, I don't know much about what happened between her and my aunt, but Jiang Wan has made a lot of efforts to help my aunt get to where she is today. She should pay the price."
Speaking of this, Shen Xiyi's hatred was almost written on his face.
"I promise you." Liang Junchen agreed readily.
Shen Xiyi thought he would at least say a few good words for Jiang Wan.
"So... you agree?"
"Why? You want me to bargain with you?"
Shen Xiyi shook his head: "Jiang Wan has a close relationship with Third Uncle, I thought..."
"She has a good relationship with Third Uncle, but that's Third Uncle's business. For me, only your business is the most important."
Shen Qingxue's car was parked quietly on the side of the road opposite them. The man and woman on the opposite riverbank hurt her eyes.
Inside the car, Xu Chen smoked impatiently, his tone impatient: "Are you really sure Liang Junchen can give a ransom of 100 million?"
"You saw the fireworks just now. Today is Shen Xiyi's birthday. Have you seen Liang Junchen treat any woman like this in all these years?" Shen Qingxue was very gentle in front of Xu Chen. She didn't want to make him angry at all.
Xu Chen lazily glanced at the man and woman on the other side whose faces he couldn't see clearly, and sneered, "You're jealous of your sister, you're crazy jealous, aren't you? Do you dream every day about how great it would be if the person who slept with you was Liang Junchen?"
