After getting into the car, Shen Jinghe immediately gave an address.
Wen Yan entered the name of the neighborhood into the navigation app and then realized that Shen Jinghe's place was not far from her apartment.
Out of curiosity, she asked casually.
"Was this house also a gift from your father? The place I live not far from you was also a gift from my father."
Although the question was a little bit gossipy, Wen Yan felt that it wasn't something that couldn't be asked.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jinghe's expression changed drastically, and his voice turned cold.
"If you can't speak, just shut up. Nobody will think you're mute."
"…………" Wen Yan froze, and couldn't help but turn around to look at Shen Jinghe in the back seat.
I thought to myself, this can't be that serious, it's just a trivial matter, but I didn't expect him to get so angry.
As a result, during this eye contact, she was unexpectedly glared at by Shen Jinghe.
Wen Yan was speechless. She opened her mouth but then closed it again.
Not retaliating when insulted is not her style, but she thought about it and held back.
[Hmph, I'll let it slide since you're a patient. Otherwise, when it comes to glaring, I'm second to none. You're so stingy, you won't even let me ask a question. If I open my mouth again, I'll be a pig!]
Wen Yan was a little angry, and as expected, she didn't say anything more the rest of the way.
Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan in the rearview mirror.
Seeing Wen Yan's stern face and recalling her earlier thoughts, he suddenly realized that he had gone a bit too far with his words.
After all, there were some things she didn't know, and her actions just now could be considered as taking her anger out on others.
But if you asked him to apologize now, he simply couldn't bring himself to say such cheesy things.
Thinking of this, Shen Jinghe suddenly became irritable.
Wen Yan had no idea what Shen Jinghe was thinking at that moment, but some memories of Shen Jinghe slowly surfaced in her mind.
Those were memories from the original owner's mind, triggered by the unpleasantness just now.
The original owner of this body did not personally experience these things about Shen Jinghe; she only heard about them intermittently from conversations between her adoptive parents when she was a child.
The incident stemmed from the kidnapping Shen Jinghe experienced as a child.
At the time, the kidnappers had taken more than just him; his older brother, Shen Jingxiu, was also among them.
The kidnapper abducted the brothers Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe not only for money, but also to take revenge on their father, Shen Yuan.
The two children were held captive by the kidnappers for seven days, and in the end, the kidnappers even gave Shen Yuan a multiple-choice question.
He can only save one of the two brothers, Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe!
According to Shen Yuan and Su Yang's recollections, Shen Jingxiu's situation was more critical back then. If he hadn't been rescued immediately, he would have died instantly, while Shen Jinghe's situation was relatively safer.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Shen Yuan chose to save Shen Jingxiu first. This choice was made in front of the two children.
From then on, Shen Jinghe hated Shen Yuan, and this incident became a thorn in his side.
Over the years, Shen Yuan and Su Yang have made many efforts, but Shen Jinghe just can't reconcile with this matter.
Having figured out the whole story, Wen Yan finally understood why Shen Jing had gotten angry earlier.
It turned out that she had unintentionally stepped into Shen Jinghe's minefield.
It's actually quite pitiful that he's been tormented by mental illness for so long.
Thinking of this, Wen Yan couldn't help but glance at Shen Jinghe in the rearview mirror.
I don't know when he took off his mask.
