Chapter 73 Underground Lover
"You said it." Shuang Xu said immediately, "You can't regret it."
Will he really soften his heart just because a woman cries?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, if crying could make him agree, it would be a very simple condition.
Shuang Xu thought about all the sad things in her life, about her mother's abandonment without any reason, about those ten years of carefree time that could never be returned, and about how the Shen family had fallen into this situation because of her.
I wonder how Shen Yu would feel if he knew that she betrayed him like this.
It is hard not to feel sad when thinking about this, but the more one tries to cry, the harder it is to do so.
She pinched her leg secretly, but it hurt, but she still couldn't cry.
In particular, out of the corner of my eye I saw the curve of He Tingzhou's lips and the look of anticipation.
"…What are you laughing at?"
"Did you not pinch hard enough?" He Tingzhou said kindly, "Do you want me to help you? I'm very strong."
The little bit of tears that she had managed to shed were wiped out by him. Shuang Xu felt a little frustrated. She should have brought an onion with her when she went out.
She passed the blueberry mousse in her hand to him and said, "Can you have some cake first? Give me some time."
He Tingzhou raised his eyebrows: "You bought it for me?"
"I wanted to come to you again." Shuang Xu didn't want to give up so easily. "If yesterday's meeting was ruined because of my wrong expression, I can change to something you like."
He Tingzhou looked at her, his expression didn't change much, but somehow it made people feel that the cold air he had that made him aggressive towards everyone he met had disappeared.
He lifted Shuang Xu's chin and looked deep into her eyes.
Yue Zifeng always loved to tell people the story of how Shen Yu brought Shuang Xu home, and how pitiful the eight-year-old Shuang Xu was, and how her eyes could melt a heart of stone. He spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
But he didn't lie.
Shuang Xu has a pair of eyes that make people want to protect and love them. How can I bear to let her cry? I just want to bring the best things in the world to her.
Shen Yu was very lucky to have found her in a city of 20 million people.
"Just keep it for now, and cry next time." He let her go for now, "Give me the phone."
"What?" Shuang Xu was confused.
He Tingzhou took the phone directly from her hand, scanned her face before she could react, unlocked it, and clicked on WeChat.
Shuang Xu wanted to see what he was going to do, but He Tingzhou took advantage of his height and lifted the phone above her head. After operating it for a few times, he threw it back to her.
When Shuang Xu got the phone, he found that he had set himself to the top and changed the note.
From "Brother Tingzhou" to "Brother Tingzhou".
One word difference and the taste changes immediately.
"You must answer my phone and come whenever I call. You are not allowed to hold hands, hug, kiss or sleep with any man except me - including your brother." He Tingzhou said, "Can you do it?"
This was nothing. Shuang Xu thought he would make some requests like "Remember your identity and don't interfere in my life."
"Okay." She nodded. "I only have one request. Don't let my brother know."
Not letting Shen Yu know means that no one else can know.
He Tingzhou snorted softly: "So you want me to be your secret lover. Am I shameful?"
But this is not a glorious thing. Shuang Xu said, "If my brother knew, he would definitely not agree."
He Tingzhou glanced at her calmly for a few seconds, then turned around and opened the car door: "Go home and wait."
In the following days, there was no news from He Tingzhou. Shuang Xu knew that this was not an easy task, so he did not rush him. However, time passed day by day, and the waiting became more and more tormenting.
She didn't tell Fu Yun until the result came out, so as to avoid her being too happy for nothing.
That afternoon, Fu Yun's blood pressure was a little high again, so Shuang Xu brought her some antihypertensive medicine and poured her a cup of warm water. When Fu Yun was taking the medicine, Shuang Xu's cell phone rang.
Brother Tingzhou: Where are you?
Shuangxu immediately replied: [Here at my fucking mom’s place]
He Tingzhou did not send any more messages.
After Fu Yun finished taking the medicine, Wang Sao came over and reported: "Mr. Song is here."
"He refused to see me when I went to ask him for help. Why did he come by himself today?" During this period of time, Fu Yun has seen the fickleness of human nature.
Mrs. Wang guessed, "Did he change his mind and become willing to help?"
"If you are here, you are a guest. Please invite them in."
The servant invited everyone to the living room and served tea. Master Song walked in and glanced at Shuang Xu who was sitting next to Fu Yun. In addition to his usual stern look, he also looked a little scrutinous.
Fu Yun asked politely, "Uncle Song, how are you doing recently? I wanted to visit you a few days ago, but Cui Ning said you were not feeling well and had moved to the south of the city for recuperation."
"I know you're looking for me about Changyuan." Grandpa Song didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "I came here today because of this matter. Changyuan has been detained for ten days. If it goes on, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to him. Once he is really convicted, there will be no room for maneuver."
Fu Yun was already worried, and upon hearing that, she felt her chest was suffocating.
She was actually well aware of the Song family's attitude of standing aside and watching, but now that her old man had come specially, she couldn't help but hold on to some hope.
"I know what you said. We have done everything we can, but when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. How many people hope that our Shen family will fall so that they can get a piece of the pie. Uncle Song, when my father was still alive, we had a decades-long friendship. Seeing the friendship between our two families for so many years, can you extend it to a longer term?"
"I watched Changyuan grow up, so of course I don't want anything to happen to him. But I've been retired for many years, and now I have little influence. Old Zheng can have a say." Grandpa Song said, looking at Shuang Xu again.
"In the long run, he was the one behind the scenes."
"So you should go to the Zheng family and ask them to let it go."
"That's easy for you to say!" Fu Yun was a little excited. "When he was plotting to frame Chang Yuan, he never thought of letting us go!"
Grandpa Song said, "This matter was caused by Shuang Xu. If Shen Yu hadn't taught Zheng Zuye a lesson for her, she wouldn't have made enemies with the Zheng family. The Zheng family has been in the limelight in recent years, and now they have bet on the right treasure. The road ahead will only get wider and wider. The boy in their family likes Shuang Xu, and it just so happens that Old Zheng also wants to find a reliable girl for him. If Shuang Xu can marry him, the hatred between the Shen family and the Zheng family will be resolved. Then they will be relatives, and Old Zheng will naturally show mercy."
Fu Yun paused.
Shuang Xu, who was silent at the side, finally spoke: "He almost raped me and drugged me to rape me. Do you think this is love?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You're a girl, and you keep calling her a raper. Where's your shame?"
Even though I don't have any hope for them, I still get more disappointment.
"You might as well just say it directly. You want to take advantage of the Zheng family's momentum and sacrifice me in exchange for the prosperity of your Song family." Shuang Xu pointed out bluntly.
"I'm doing this for your own good!" Grandpa Song said righteously, "If you want to save Changyuan, this is the only way."
Shuang Xu looked at Fu Yun, afraid to see a fluttering expression on her face.
Fu Yun was stunned at first, and then fell silent.
Shuang Xu couldn't understand what she was thinking. Perhaps because she was cold-hearted, her tone sounded particularly calm: "Fuck, do you think so too?"
