Chapter 68 Tell Him to Get Out
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent for a moment, and then a chorus of agreement erupted.
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Miss Shen."
"Yes, yes, Miss Shen is clearly a good child! Madam, please rest assured!"
Everyone wore smiles on their faces, but each harbored their own ulterior motives.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Shen Shuangmiao now held a hint of genuine apprehension.
No one expected that Shen Shuangmiao would actually stand up thanks to Old Madam Su.
Shen Shuangmiao stood in the spotlight, feeling the gazes coming from all directions.
The warmth of Zhu Jin's tight grip on her palm still seemed to linger.
Shen Shuangmiao slightly raised her chin.
Try to appear calm.
Zhu Jin stood not far away, his gaze still fixed on her.
Shen Shuang Miao shifted her gaze away.
I stopped looking at him, but I felt a little uneasy.
What does Zhu Jin want to do?
At the banquet, everyone was still congratulating Madam Su.
Shen Shuangmiao stood beside Old Madam Su, a gentle smile on her face, but her hands clasped in front of her were slightly cold.
She couldn't help but keep an eye on the man's direction, vigilant for any possible move he might make.
Shen Shuangmiao had no doubt that Zhu Jin was capable of anything when he was unhappy.
However, Zhu Jin did not get close to Zhu Jin all night.
His gaze didn't even linger on her.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Wu throughout, handling the guests with ease, and becoming the focus of attention with his laughter and conversation.
Zhou Wu turned slightly to the side, whispering in his ear from time to time, her posture intimate and natural.
Zhu Jin listened with his eyes lowered, his expression tense, but he did not look away.
A sense of relief welled up within Shen Shuangmiao.
In the end, he chose to stand with Zhou Wu and let her go.
That would be best.
From then on, they were clearly separated and had nothing to do with each other.
Late at night, the banquet finally came to an end.
Zhu Jin greeted the old lady and left.
The guests gradually left, and the old house returned to tranquility.
Madam Su gently held Shen Shuangmiao's hand.
"We can breathe a sigh of relief. Tonight went very smoothly. With Grandma around, Zhu Jin will have to think twice before acting."
“He wouldn’t, and wouldn’t dare, act recklessly here.”
Shen Shuangmiao gave a soft "hmm," feeling grateful but unsure how to express it verbally.
Although she didn't have any real family ties with the old lady, the time she spent living in the Su family's house was the safest and most relaxing time for her.
She was also willing to treat the old lady as her own grandmother and be filial to her.
As Shen Shuang pondered this, she almost burst into tears.
Back in her bedroom, she felt completely refreshed.
Shen Shuangmiao thought she would have insomnia, but perhaps due to excessive mental exhaustion, she quickly fell asleep.
In her dazed state, she had a feeling of being watched.
In the darkness, Shen Shuangmiao suddenly opened her eyes.
A tall, dark figure stood beside the bed.
Shen Shuangmiao's heart almost stopped. She sat up instantly and immediately turned on the bedside lamp.
The light illuminated the entire room.
Zhu Jin stood in the shadows, his face inscrutable, his dark eyes swirling with complex and unfathomable emotions.
He seemed to want to say something; his lips moved, but ultimately no sound came out.
"How did you get in? What do you want?"
Shen Shuangmiao was still in shock, and anger welled up in her heart for no reason.
"go out!"
Zhu Jin clenched his fist quietly at his side, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was terribly hoarse: "I've found out."
Shen Shuangmiao felt completely bewildered.
"Find out what?"
Zhu Jin spoke with difficulty: "You didn't marry me because you were after the Zhu family's money."
"Someone deliberately misled me."
He looked up, his gaze fixed on her.
"And Fu Xuan, that night at the hotel..."
He paused for a moment, as if saying the name caused him pain.
"I know that nothing happened."
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned.
She looked at him as if he were a ridiculous joke.
These were the pieces of evidence he once believed so deeply and used to hurt her so badly, but now he finally realized they were misunderstandings.
But it was too late.
Zhu Jin's preconceived suspicion and coldness towards her had already destroyed all possibilities between them.
"What's the point of saying all this now?"
Shen Shuangmiao's voice was devoid of emotion.
"Zhu Jin, it's all over between us long ago."
She turned her head away, not wanting to look at him anymore.
"Go on, go find your Zhou Wu. There's nothing more to say between us."
Zhu Jin took a step forward, a hint of pain in his eyes.
"I'm not with Zhou Wu anymore."
He stared intently at her, his voice low and deep: "Shen Shuangmiao, can you talk to me properly about the past? Talk about what happened between us..."
Zhu Jin's voice lowered.
He feels unqualified to say these things now.
Those misunderstandings that he once firmly believed were all false.
Shen Shuangmiao never betrayed him and never abandoned him.
It was him.
Based solely on those misunderstandings, he harbored deep hatred for Shen Shuangmiao, determined to fight her to the death and refusing to let her go.
In the end, it was he who hurt Shen Shuangmiao the most.
Shen Shuangmiao almost thought she had misheard.
"Zhu Jin, what did you say?"
After she lost her child and after he did so many cruel things to her, Zhu Jin could say such things so easily.
"You're crazy."
Shen Shuangmiao looked at him in disbelief.
Zhu Jin suddenly leaned down, bracing his hands against the wall behind her, trapping her in a small space.
"Yes, I've gone mad."
He suppressed his emotions.
“I’ve gone crazy since the moment I found out you aborted the child.”
His gaze fell on her still flat stomach.
Their children once lived there.
Zhu Jin didn't suddenly lower his head, but instead kissed her lips forcefully.
Shen Shuangmiao's mind went completely blank.
A familiar scent enveloped her.
Overwhelmed with humiliation and anger, she instinctively used all her strength to suddenly turn her head and break free.
Then, she raised her hand.
"Smack!"
A crisp, loud slap rang out, echoing in the bedroom.
Zhu Jin turned his face slightly away, and a faint red mark quickly appeared on his left cheek.
He never expected Shen Shuangmiao to make a move.
He stood there, stunned, his eyes blank for a moment.
Shen Shuangmiao's palms were still numb and burning with pain.
But it's far less than one ten-thousandth of what's in her heart.
Taking advantage of Zhu Jin's momentary daze, she suddenly pushed him away.
"You know now it was a misunderstanding?"
Shen Shuangmiao's voice trembled.
"You hurt me, tormented me like this, and now you come here telling me you know you wronged me?"
Her eyes instantly turned completely red.
"Zhu Jin, why didn't you believe me back then?"
"You'd rather believe those so-called recordings, believe other people's instigation! You've never trusted me!"
Shen Shuang's fingertips were trembling.
"All you do is try to suppress my studio!"
"You coldly watched my hard work be destroyed, watched me struggle in despair. Where were you then? Did you ever show any mercy?"
Zhu Jin couldn't breathe and stepped forward, wanting to touch Chen Shuangmiao's hand.
"I……"
"You're working with Zhou Wu to get back at me!" Shen Shuangmiao interrupted him, stubbornly refusing to let her tears fall.
"They locked me up and forced me to do that..."
She simply couldn't bring herself to say the word "child."
Shen Shuangmiao took a deep breath, suppressing her grief, her eyes turning cold and ruthless.
"Now that you've found out the truth, what's the use?"
"Get out."
