Chapter 94 Some are happy, some are sad
Duan Yu said in a deep voice, "Say what?"
Tao Zhitao smiled, her lips curving upwards. Who was this sweet girl again? Yet, her words were like daggers to Duan Yu's heart.
"Inviting you to your birthday party, getting you drunk and having sex with you, blaming Zheng Yaozong's child on you—all of these were ideas of your kind-hearted sister."
...
She spoke so calmly that the man in front of her seemed dull, stupid, and childish.
Tao Zhitao poked his chest, "Do you know why?"
Duan Yu choked back his sore throat, "Why?"
"What a fool," Tao Zhitao laughed, leaning forward and opening her big, innocent eyes.
"Because your good sister was afraid that Lu Zhenyu would catch Zheng Yaozong cheating and then file for divorce, and rekindle her old relationship with Shen Jingsi. So, she very consciously and proactively found you, the scapegoat, for me."
Madam Duan was so shocked that she didn't know what was going on. Her pupils trembled violently. "You, what nonsense are you talking about! How could Xiao Xi do anything to betray the Duan family and her brother?"
Tao's mother sneered, "Whether she can make it or not, you, as her mother, can just go up and ask her."
She walked over and hugged her daughter. Tao Tiansheng looked at Duan Hong and said, "I already knew about these things. The reason I didn't intervene was because I thought the suggestion made by Brother Duan's daughter was good. It was your Duan family that created this mess, so naturally you have to pay for it."
Looking at the motionless Duan Hong, Tao Tiansheng stepped forward with a half-smile and patted his stiff shoulder.
He turned back to his wife and daughter, and the three of them walked out together, supporting each other.
As she reached the door, Tao Zhitao stopped and turned to look at Duan Yu.
As the man stared blankly at her, their eyes met, and the girl's eyes were still stung by the pain that had extinguished all emotion on his face.
This is the man she has loved for ten years, the man she has secretly protected, the man she only dares to call "brother" so that she can stay with him for a long time.
The night Zheng Yaozong forced her, filled with endless despair, she stepped onto the rooftop of Night Paradise, her thoughts consisting of nothing but:
Let's continue loving each other in the next life.
At that time, she must be brave enough to tell him in person before Feng Manman, "Duan Yu, I really, really like you."
But it seems they probably won't have a next life.
Letting her tears flow, Tao Zhitao curved her trembling lips into a smile.
"Whether you believe it or not, it's true that I said I've liked you for fifteen years that night, and it's also true that I've never been in a relationship and only want to marry you."
Hot tears soaked her chapped lips, and the girl could no longer suppress the sobs escaping her throat.
"I don't regret any of these things, except for one."
Looking at Duan Xi'er standing on the second floor, whose tightly clenched lips twitched uncontrollably, he said, "I regret being blind and trusting such a villain."
After that figure tossed a sinister laugh over, turned and rushed back to the bedroom. Tao Zhitao curled her pale lips and raised her voice.
"Duan Xi'er, I know you've been listening the whole time. But I'll say it again: evil people will get their comeuppance. If I can't kill you, someone else will. Just you wait!"
Tao Tiansheng also looked at Duan Hong, "Brother Duan, give my Tao family an explanation in three days. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face when we meet again in the capital."
The three members of the Tao family left.
As the group of guards gradually withdrew, a long silence descended upon the living room.
quiet.
It was so quiet that Duan Yu could hear his own chaotic heartbeat.
Duan's mother was completely speechless, her eyes glazed over as she slumped there, "What a tragedy, what a tragedy! How could it have come to this? How could it have happened!"
The expression on Duan's father's face could no longer be described as cold and gloomy.
With a loud shout, he commanded, "Bring Duan Xi'er down here!"
The servants hiding nearby trembled involuntarily, but in the end, it was Xiao Cui who stepped forward timidly.
"Please calm down, sir. I'll go right away."
Just as the person had climbed two steps, a scream suddenly came from the second floor.
"ah!!!"
Xiao Cui ran a few steps, stepped over the servant who was slumped at the door, and rushed into the bedroom.
The next second, the person rushed out, their face pale.
"It's terrible! It's terrible! Master and Madam, Miss Xi'er has committed suicide by disembowelment!"
Everyone was shocked!
"What!"
Duan Yu was the first to rush into the bedroom.
As far as the eye could see, Duan Xi'er, dressed in a white dress, lay in a pool of blood, a fruit knife protruding from her abdomen.
He rushed over and pulled the person into his arms; blood was gushing from the person's mouth.
"Xiao Xi, what are you doing?!"
She looked at Duan Yu, her blood-stained hands trembling. She clenched her fist over her abdomen, and with her last ounce of strength, she spoke.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
…
Yesterday's prenatal checkup ended too late, so Lu Zhenyu and Shen Jingsi simply stayed at the hospital and only returned to the manor after receiving all the test reports.
The extended Lincoln drove through a four-meter bulletproof armored gate into the estate.
Looking at the yard full of Rolls-Royces, Maseratis, and Ferraris, Lu Zhenyu, who had just gotten out of the car, turned around in confusion and asked, "Have we had guests?"
Shen Jingsi feigned mystery to whet her appetite, saying, "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
He carried Lu Zhenyu toward the villa. Just as they approached the door, the aroma of baked desserts wafted over.
The door opened, and three heads turned out from under the sofa.
Si Wei paused in his drinking, and exclaimed, "The Pure Love Couple is back! How was it? We warmed the house for you two pretty well, didn't we?"
"A pure love couple?" Feng Jinheng looked at the couple walking towards him and smiled, "A nice couple name."
"Oh." Shen Jingsi looked at her after putting her down. "You even know about couples. Looks like Madam Feng has been giving you a lot of lessons every night after the wedding."
Shen Jinchuan casually handed the items to Lu Zhenyu, who was leaning over to get the alcohol wipes, saying, "Just now, Victoria Beckham gave a lecture, telling Heng-ge that YYDS isn't a nutrition guru, he's an eternal god, and Emo isn't a director, he's depressed."
Realizing that everyone was making fun of him for being old and out of touch with internet trends, Feng Jinheng suppressed his smile and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong with not keeping up with the trend? Luckily, I have my wife to teach me."
"Hmm?" Shen Jingsi raised an eyebrow, pulled Lu Zhenyu, who was secretly laughing as she listened to their conversation, into his arms, and deliberately lifted her up a little.
"You're talking like you don't have one. I have a wife too."
Finally, he added, "And there's also my eldest daughter."
Shen Jinchuan straightened his coat, coughed twice, and bent over to reach for his water glass, inadvertently revealing a sliver of gold on his index finger.
"Excuse me." He sipped his tea with relish, raised his cup in a toast, and said, "My brother is getting engaged next month."
Si Wuwei, who was slurping his drink just two seconds ago: "..."
As gazes from all directions slowly descended upon him, he remained in the position of drinking water, his eyes darting around before he sat up in a daze. "Wait, why are you all looking at me like that?"
Everyone just laughed without saying a word. He licked his lips and said, "What, are you laughing at me for not having a girlfriend?"
Feng Jinheng raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
Shen Jingsi curled his lips into a smile. "Hehe."
Shen Jinchuan smiled and said, "Haha."
When their gaze fell on Lu Zhenyu, the girl pursed her lips, lowered her head, and touched her belly. "Baby, we didn't hear anything, did we?"
Si Wuwei: "..."
joke!
What a joke!
Who is he? The heir of the Si family, Si Wuwei of the capital!
Are they laughing at him for being single and not having a wife?
With a speechless scoff, Si Wei crossed his legs and slumped back down. "Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are everywhere. How ridiculous."
The three of them exchanged glances.
Feng Jinheng, "Are you still only chasing after actress Shi Ying to blacklist the entire industry when there are so many other actresses around?"
"Tsk tsk tsk." Shen Jingsi gave a wry smile. "If you're going to break up, then break up. Why are you so angry and ruthless? Your character is really terrible."
Looking down at the person in his arms who was trying not to laugh, he said, "Wife, it seems that your husband is a pretty good person. During the five years you were gone, I remained chaste for you."
As a cold light, almost slicing through people, shone down, Lu Zhenyu tightly pursed her lips, barely able to suppress her urges, and turned her face away.
“Brother Wei.” Shen Jinchuan looked at Si Wei seriously and nodded solemnly. “I think I understand why you’re single.”
“I’m so angry…” Si Wuwei choked on his words.
After stammering for a while, I finally managed to blurt out, "Who exactly are these three brothers?!"
Unable to argue with three people, they simply started using their hands.
Four men in suits and slicked-back hair started making a ruckus in the living room in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Lu Zhenyu had truly gone mad, Shen Jingsi quickly escorted her to the stairs.
"Wife, quickly hide yourself, lest you get splattered with blood later."
Lu Zhenyu: "..."
