Chapter 224 Will You Choose Him or Me?
Yue Zifeng was devastated when he learned the truth.
"You..." He held his anger for a long time, then raised his fist towards He Tingzhou, "How could you do such a thing?! I want to beat you up."
He Tingzhou raised his eyelids coldly, took his hand back, and changed the subject abruptly: "--But now that things have come to this, although what he did was not kind, his feelings for my sister are genuine, I think..."
Shen Yu interrupted him: "If it was Zhao Zhao today, would you still say 'it's over'?"
Yue Zifeng is dumb.
Put yourself in his shoes. If someone took advantage of his misfortune and deceived his sister into betraying him behind his back, no matter whether he was sincere or not, he would definitely fight He Tingzhou to the death.
"I only regret that I didn't break you up earlier." Shen Yu said.
If they had separated the day their relationship was discovered, Shuang Xu would not have fallen deeper.
"I don't care what you are like now. You got her in such a despicable way. I will not allow her to be with you again."
"Why do you think you have the ability to break us up?" He Tingzhou rubbed his left arm nonchalantly. "She is 23 years old this year, not 8 years old. Shen Yu, when can you accept that she is no longer the child who followed you and called you 'brother'?"
Shen Yu said: "She grew up by my side since she was a child. The relationship we have had for fifteen years is something you cannot compare to."
He Tingzhou sneered: "For five years, you left her alone in the United States without paying any attention to her. What you should have done was subtraction, not addition."
"You grew up with her, so what? You own her past, but her future belongs to me."
"Are you too conceited?" Shen Yu asked, "How long have you been together? Do you think she would give up her brother for you?"
The evening breeze blew through He Tingzhou's shirt, making people feel cold just by looking at him.
Something flashed across his eyes so quickly that it was hard to capture.
He put his hands in his pockets and unconsciously rubbed the things inside. The velvet texture was both smooth and slightly grainy.
He pursed his lips slightly, still looking calm and composed: "It's hard to say. Are you so confident that she will definitely choose you?"
This topic was too dangerous, Yue Zifeng interrupted hastily: "You two have the same brother and the same partner, it's not like you two are mortal enemies, why bother choosing?"
He was afraid that the prince would get angry and insist on competing with Shen Yu. He Tingzhou always had his own way and the word "concession" did not exist in his dictionary. If the situation got out of control, Shuang Xu would be the one who would be embarrassed.
He didn't expect that it was Shen Yu who was tough this time.
"Zifeng, this matter has nothing to do with you." Shen Yu said firmly, "I must take Xiaojiu away today."
The door opened from the inside and Shuang Xu came out at this time.
She was relieved that the two men didn't continue fighting, but only a little.
She walked down the stairs. Shen Yu's expression today was far from warm. The layer of gloom made him look even more gloomy.
But when facing Shuang Xu, he still tried to keep his eyes as gentle as possible, just like when he was eight years old, and stretched out his hand and said to her: "Xiao Jiu, come home with your brother."
He Tingzhou called her from the other side: "Come here."
Shuang Xu turned her head and saw his dark pupils, without a single ripple in them, staring at her without blinking.
Shuang Xu didn't expect her birthday to be like this. She stood between the two people, like standing on a ship that was split in half. The crack spread to her feet, putting her in a dilemma.
"I'll go home with my brother first." She said to He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou's jawline slowly tightened, and he called her again, speaking each word clearly: "Song Shuangxu, come here."
He hasn't called her that since she moved out of the Song family.
But Shuang Xu couldn't stay today, Shen Yu would not let her stay. Instead of letting the two of them confront each other, she should make this matter clear to Shen Yu.
"He Tingzhou, I have to go back today. I have something to tell my brother."
He Tingzhou said, "Do you want to choose him?"
Shuang Xu had no idea what they talked about outside: "I'm not choosing anyone, I'm just going back for a visit."
He Tingzhou knew very well that since Shen Yu took her away today, he would do everything he could to prevent her from coming back.
He walked towards her, grabbed her wrist, his long eyelashes drooped, half covering his dark eyes, with a stubborn look in his eyes: "Then choose now. Do you choose him or me?"
Shen Yu's voice was carried over by the night wind. He didn't say much, he just called her: "Xiao Jiu."
Shuang Xu was forced into a dilemma, and clenched his fingers hanging at his side: "He Tingzhou, can you stop being so overbearing? He is my brother."
Yue Zifeng wanted to mediate the situation: "Oh, they are just angry. It will be fine tomorrow when they calm down. We are all family, so there is no grudge left overnight."
No one paid any attention to him.
He Tingzhou slowly loosened his fingers, and the obsession in his eyes disappeared at the same time: "So you want to give up on me?"
"I'm not giving up on you. Can you wait for me here? We'll talk when I come back..." Shuang Xu wanted to pull his hand, but he had already put it in his pocket.
His voice was so cold that the air around him was rapidly cooling down. "What are you talking about? About your deep brother-sister relationship, and how I can't compare to your ten years of relationship?"
Shuang Xu's voice was interrupted by his snorting.
He Tingzhou said: "I will give you another chance, do you want to stay or go with him?"
Shuang Xu pursed his lips: "Do you really have to force me like this?"
It was hard to find the usual warmth on He Tingzhou's face. For a moment, Shuang Xu remembered his cold eyes on the yacht.
The wind is as strong today as it was that day.
He turned and walked back, walked up the steps and into the house without looking back.
The Shen family's driver had already driven over, and Shen Yu opened the door: "Let's go."
On the way back to Shen's house, Shuang Xu didn't say a word, just leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.
Shen Yu looked at her several times. She was facing the window and was so quiet that even her breathing seemed inaudible.
When they arrived at the Shen family's house, Shen Changyuan and Fu Yun were waiting for them. Fu Yun's leg had healed, and she came over to greet her with a smile: "I thought you were going to spend the day with your friends. Your brother said you would be back in the evening, so I asked Wang's wife to cook your favorite dishes. Why do you look so bad? Did you freeze?"
"No, I'm just a little tired."
"Then let's eat quickly, and go back to rest early after dinner."
There was a table full of dishes on the table. Shuang Xu was upset and ate a few bites with them.
Seeing that she had a poor appetite, Shen Changyuan said, "If you are tired, go upstairs and sleep. Don't force yourself to stay up."
"Wait, the cake hasn't been cut yet." Fu Yun hurriedly asked someone to take the cake out of the refrigerator.
A very beautiful three-layer cake with white cream and a princess in a puffy skirt on the top layer.
Frost lit the candles, closed his eyes, made a wish amid their smiling faces and sang birthday songs, and then blew them out.
