"...Yes, it's true." Shen Xiangshan raised his hand and wiped his face. He was silent for a long time, and finally admitted it.

Shen Ping's mind went blank and her ears were ringing.

It turned out to be true, he didn't have any feelings for her at all, and he didn't completely favor Shen Man...

Shen Man looked at the father and daughter, then turned and closed the door.

In fact, before this, she had doubted Shen Ping, but never doubted Shen Xiangshan. After all, he had been really good to her since childhood.

Although there was a reason why he loved her and all of her family, she could still clearly tell the difference between sincerity and falsehood.

Ever since she guessed this, she sometimes even wondered if Shen Xiangshan was her biological father, he would have directly exposed Shen Ping for her sake and cleared her name.

But there is no if, she is indeed not the biological daughter of the Shen family, and Shen Xiangshan did choose to protect Shen Ping at that time.

She wanted to tell her mother about this several times, but considering that they had been husband and wife for so many years, Shen Xiangshan was very good to her mother in other aspects except this matter.

If she said it directly, given her mother's personality, she would definitely divorce Shen Xiangshan for her, and then Mingchuan's affiliation would become a problem.

The entire Shen family will be in chaos, and the two relatives she cares about most will be involved.

This is why, even though she guessed the truth, she hesitated to verify it and tell it.

Shen Man lay on the bed, hugging the quilt and rubbing her temples. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't muster any energy.

To be honest, her feelings towards Shen Xiangshan are very complicated, so complicated that she doesn't want to think too much about it.

Never mind. Don't even think about it.

After I get divorced from Lu Zhengguo, I'll buy a house and move out directly.

Anyway, Shen Xiangshan had given almost all of the Shen family's savings as her dowry. The money added up to about one thousand yuan, which was more than enough to buy a house.

The time to go back to her hometown has come. Shen Ping attended the farewell party held by the street, took a big red flower, and boarded the train to the northwest.

Shen Xiangshan did not see her off. He had originally intended to give her thirty yuan, but because Shen Man suddenly pushed the door in and then these things happened, he forgot to give it to her for a moment.

This thirty yuan was the private savings he had accumulated over the past four years, saved bit by bit from his monthly cigarette bills.

It wasn't much money, but it was all he could afford.

…

Since the two of them left home, Lu Hongmei's dormitory application has not come yet, so she can only live in Lu Zhengguo's newly bought house.

She had moved in for a while, but she had never seen her second sister-in-law. Even her second brother only came back in the evening and was rarely seen during the day.

Lu Hongmei couldn't bear to watch any more, so she didn't sleep that night and sat in the living room waiting for people.

She really wanted to ask what happened between the couple.

And her second brother is not sensible enough to please women.

Regarding what happened that night, his second sister-in-law went back to her parents' home in anger. He chased her out, but she changed direction halfway and went to catch some spy.

He was clearly on leave to visit his family, and he was not in the army, nor did he have any mission.

Those people asked him for help, and he really helped.

I didn't consider at all how scared my sister-in-law would be when she returned home late at night. What if something happened? Wouldn't it make the relationship between them even more strained?

Lu Hongmei curled her lips. Second brother is really stupid.

If she hadn't asked, she wouldn't have known about this and would have really thought he was chasing after his sister-in-law.

Fortunately, she secretly helped him solve a bad love affair.

The more Lu Hongmei thought about it, the angrier she became. It was late at night and the sky was pitch black. She did not go back to her room to sleep, but sat in the living room waiting for someone. However, no matter how long she waited, no one came back.

It was almost midnight, and she had to go to work tomorrow. She was so sleepy that she decided to go to bed first.

Just as I stood up, I saw Lu Zhengguo pushing the door open. He was still reeking of alcohol, and his temperament was completely different from his usual reserved and restrained self.

Lu Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then hurried through the checkpoint.

"Brother, have you been drinking?"

"It's the middle of the night, why are you still drinking? If my sister-in-law knew, she would be fed up with you."

Don't think she doesn't know that the second brother likes the second sister-in-law.

On weekdays, as long as his second sister-in-law was around, his eyes would always inadvertently fall on her, restrained yet gentle.

The look in one's eyes when one likes someone cannot be hidden, and she is sure that this person likes his wife.

Unfortunately, he himself didn't know it.

She didn't plan to say it explicitly. After all, this kind of thing needs to be discovered and understood by the man himself. Only then will he have that hard-earned feeling of waking up from a dream.

Lu Zhengguo curled his lips, walked into the house without saying a word, and closed the door tightly with his backhand.

Drinking, disgusting?

No, she wouldn't care.

If she cared, she wouldn't be so determined to divorce him.

Lu Hongmei noticed something was wrong, so she quickly chased after him and knocked on the door.

"Brother, what happened? I remember that you never drink. Did you have any conflicts with your sister-in-law? Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you..."

As soon as Lu Zhengguo entered the room, he fell to the ground drunk, the cold ground touching his skin tightly. He was wearing a straight military uniform, with a high nose bridge and sharp features...

The man who had always been restrained and reserved now lay on the ground with his eyes closed, touching his violently beating heart in his chest, and staring at the ceiling without blinking.

What comes to mind is the short period of less than a month since I came back.

Every little detail between him and Shen Man, and her every smile.

There was no moment when Lu Zhengguo felt so clearly that he had no intention of divorce from the beginning.

Maybe it was because he was attracted to her all the time, and gradually he fell in love with her.

…

Room.

Lu Hongmei was extremely anxious and worried, and she kept knocking on the door.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Are you having a conflict with your sister-in-law?"

"Even if you end up getting divorced, at worst you can just get the person back. There's no need for you to drink alone."

Unfortunately, after knocking for a while, there was no movement inside.

Lu Hongmei frowned and did not sleep well the whole night. She tossed and turned, always feeling that something had happened between her second brother and his wife.

After thinking about it for most of the night, she finally decided to find a chance to go to Shen's house after class tomorrow to get some information and see what was going on.

You can't...really get a divorce.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Hongmei shook her head quickly and said, "No, no, this won't work."

She doesn't want anyone else to be her sister-in-law.
