"Back then, it was fine that everyone was kept in the dark about everything. But later on, it was clearly you who didn't want to be close to your mother anymore, and even avoided her.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and you see that your mother just wants to spend more time with her biological child and be close to him, you're actually starting to get jealous!"
“You…you…”
At this moment, Shen Xiujin was so angry that his face turned blue, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak. Facing Shen Xiuyan's aggressiveness, he could only stare at the other party with angry eyes.
However, Shen Xiuyan didn't seem to care about his brother's reaction, but instead became even more aggressive.
"Hmph! I never thought mother would raise such an ungrateful bastard like you. If I had known what would happen today, I should have persuaded mother to strangle you to death back then, so as not to let it continue to annoy me now."
After saying this, Shen Xiuyan suddenly raised his head, his nose turned to the sky, and proudly declared: "But I am different, I am much more filial than you!
From childhood to adulthood, I have never made my mother angry, let alone abandoned her. In our family, from beginning to end, I am the only one who has always been honest and filial to my mother!
"Yes, yes, you have never been angry with your mother, but don't forget that if your mother hadn't appeared in time, you almost lost little Le'an because of your negligence.
By the way, you also caused my sister-in-law to be in danger and almost lose her life, and you were entangled with women. Why didn’t you say a word about these things?
Tsk, you keep saying that you are filial to your mother, but who knows if what you are really thinking about is the family property in your mother's hands..."
"Chen Xiujin, fuck you, stop being so arrogant here!"
"Why am I so arrogant? Humph, don't forget, my uncle is also your uncle!"
Before he finished speaking, the two brothers of the Shen family started arguing in the study. Their voices became louder and louder, and the atmosphere became more tense.
In the end, Shen Xiujin's face was filled with rage, and he slammed the door and stormed out, leaving behind a mess and silence.
...In the restaurant...
Zhou Jingyao sat quietly at the table, listening to Shen Xiujin venting his dissatisfaction and resentment. She couldn't help feeling helpless and could only look up at the sky speechlessly.
She vaguely remembered that Shen Xiujin had told her personally that the relationship between him and his elder brother had always been quite good!
Zhou Jingyao nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Does your mother know about this?"
At this moment, Shen Xiujin seemed to have calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and then said slowly:
"Even if they are brothers, and even if they have a deep bond with each other, once it comes to vying for their mother's attention and favor, or when conflicts of interest arise, they will still argue and even quarrel."
Hearing this question, Shen Xiujin suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Know...know..."
She just didn't know why the two of them were arguing. She just thought that their brotherhood was not very good.
But it was strange that the mother had such an idea. She felt that since the two brothers were not born of the same mother, it was not surprising that they had some disputes occasionally.
"Then...how is your relationship with that Gu Yunchen?"
At this point, Zhou Jingyao no longer had any expectations for the relationship between Shen Xiujin and Gu Yunchen.
After all, the relationship between this man who had just had a big fight with his eldest brother Shen Xiuyan and the brother whose identity he had taken away must not be much better.
But what Zhou Jingyao never expected was that when faced with her question, Shen Xiujin actually spread his hands nonchalantly and answered casually:
"How should I know? We haven't spoken much to each other in the whole time."
Hearing his answer, Zhou Jingyao couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked in disbelief:
"What? You two can't even talk to each other? How is that possible? You're brothers.
This relationship is really too bad! You still have the nerve to say you don’t know, you are simply deceiving yourself! "
