Chapter 182 Brother First
After Brother Shen left, Shen Que was the only one left in the study.
He leaned back in his chair, his brother's words echoing in his ears.
Yes, although Cheng Yu has been arrogant over the years, he has never treated his brothers unfairly, and can even be considered righteous.
And this time, he was indeed wrong.
If Su Qianqian likes him, he will admit it even if he is wrong.
But she doesn't like him.
His thoughts would only anger Cheng Yu, destroy their brotherhood, and bring down the Shen family. They were meaningless.
Fatigue and regret washed over me like a tide.
He rubbed his aching brow, took a deep breath, and planned to meet Cheng Yu tomorrow, admit his mistake, and do his best to make amends.
For the Shen family, and for the brotherhood that might still be restored.
The study door was gently pushed open, and Shen Nian'an poked his head in with an anxious look on his face:
"Brother? I heard the news. What happened? Why did the Gu family suddenly..."
Her words stopped when she saw her brother's haggard appearance. She could no longer speak, and was left with only worry.
Shen Nian'an walked in quickly: "Brother! What are you doing..."
Chen Que looked up at her. He didn't have the energy to hide his feelings, so he just told her the truth, briefly explaining what had happened, including his feelings for Su Qianqian and Gu Chengyu's revenge.
After hearing this, Shen Nian'an's pretty face instantly turned red with anger, and her voice rose high, full of anger: "That Su Qianqian again?"
"She is a disaster! An orphan girl who is not presentable is worthy of you, brother, to do this? Is she worthy of making brother Chengyu go crazy for her? She..."
"Nian'an." Shen Que interrupted her and looked up at her.
Shen Nian'an was shocked by the seriousness in his eyes, and the scolding stopped abruptly, looking at him somewhat bewilderedly.
Shen Que spoke in a low voice, and spoke every word very seriously:
"I really like Su Qianqian."
Shen Nian’an opened his eyes wide, as if he didn’t understand.
Shen Que continued, his tone calm but resounding:
"If I could, I would marry her."
This sentence was like thunder, which made Shen Nian'an stand there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
She looked at the seriousness on her brother's face and understood a little.
What he likes is different from what she likes.
After all, compared to Gu Chengyu, she prefers the position of the young lady of the Gu family.
She remembered her father's humble look and her mother's focused eyes on her father.
After a long while, Shen Nian'an digested the news, his eyes were complicated, and he finally lowered his head slowly, his voice a little dry:
"Brother, I understand."
"I will respect her very much."
Shen Que felt guilty when he saw his sister like this.
He whispered, "I'm sorry, Nian'an, because of my impulsiveness, I'm afraid that your long-held goal, the position of the Gu family's young lady, will be..."
“It’s okay!” Shen Nian’an raised his head suddenly and interrupted him: “Brother, it’s okay!”
She walked up to Shen Que and looked at him, her eyes slightly red:
"Brother, do you know? I've been trying really hard to please Madam Gu recently, and I finally won her favor."
"Marrying into the Gu family has always been my goal."
"but……"
She took a deep breath, and finally couldn't hold back her tears and fell, but she stubbornly didn't wipe them away:
"But all these efforts and goals are not important in front of my brother."
She looked at Shen Que, tears rolling down her face: "Brother, it really doesn't matter if I can't marry into the Gu family."
"But brother, you can't say sorry to me, ever."
In her heart, her brother always comes first.
Shen Que looked at his sister's red eyes and tears, and understood what his sister had not said.
He nodded heavily, his voice hoarse: "Brother understands, brother won't say anymore."
