Chapter 74 I can't sell my daughter for fame
The silence in the air was startling.
Grandpa is right. It was her fault that the Shen family offended the Zheng family. It was perfect to use her to break the situation.
How can someone who doesn't even want his own parents ask others to cherish him?
Shuang Xu could understand Fu Yun's feelings and found a thousand reasons for her in her heart. Even if Fu Yun agreed, she would not hate her.
It doesn't matter. It's just another time my mom abandoned me.
Fu Yun suddenly held her hand, her eyes reddened: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Shuang Xu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart: "He didn't succeed, Brother Tingzhou saved me."
"Silly child, you have to tell your family about that, too."
Thinking about how she had been like a frightened bird, always on guard against her, pushing the child further and further away, and not daring to tell her when she was bullied, Fu Yun felt both guilty and distressed.
After experiencing ups and downs, I realized that I was really blinded by greed!
"The Zheng family is really going too far! It was that bastard who bullied Shuang Xu first, and they still have the nerve to hold a grudge against our family, frame us, and oppress us. Do you still want me to kowtow to them and beg for mercy?"
Fu Yun gnashed her teeth in anger, "People are all made of flesh and blood. Shuang Xu is also a child of your Song family. How can you be so cruel? Zheng Zuye is a jerk. He is a glutton, a whore and a gambler. If you marry Shuang Xu to him, he will be the first one who will not agree in the long run."
Being accused by a younger generation, Master Song was proud of his status and looked a little embarrassed: "She is my granddaughter, how can I harm her? Think about it clearly. It is impossible for Chang Yuan to get away with it. Once he is really convicted, the Shen family will never be able to clean up this dirty water."
"They were lucky to be tricked by them this time. I accept it. Our Shen family can be down and out, and poor and destitute, but we can never be spineless and shameless!"
Fu Yun's attitude was no longer polite. "Uncle Song, I respect you as an elder. I don't blame you for watching from the sidelines and not helping, but you don't have to mention this matter again. I can't do the thing of selling my daughter for fame. You don't feel sorry for Shuang Xu, but I do!"
At that moment, Shuang Xu felt an indescribable feeling.
I was touched and felt that everything I did was worth it, but I was also afraid that she would know the truth in the future.
Grandpa Song also got angry, and left after saying, "Then you guys wish you good luck."
Just as he reached the door, a car sounded in the yard.
Yue Zifeng shouted excitedly outside at the top of his voice: "Aunt Fu! Come out and see who's back?"
Fu Yun, who had been bedridden for many days due to illness, suddenly stood up and ran out.
"Long!" Her voice came in tears of joy.
When Shuang Xu walked to the door, he saw her crying and hugging Shen Changyuan.
Shen Changyuan was obviously thinner than before and looked a little haggard. He must have had a hard time these days. He smiled and patted Fu Yun on the back: "You are so old, aren't you afraid that the children will laugh at you?"
Yue Zifeng, who was grinning just now, suddenly turned around and buried his face in the man next to him: "Fuck, I made you want to cry."
Before her head even touched the other person's clothes, He Tingzhou pushed her away coldly and ruthlessly: "Hold it."
Shen Yu walked over and touched Shuang Xu's head: "Thank you for taking care of the family these days."
Shuang Xu shook his head and said, "It's not hard."
Before he could finish his words, he noticed a strong gaze.
She looked back and He Tingzhou glanced at Shen Yu's hand touching her hair, his eyes very indifferent.
The scalp feels tight after using the cream. Does touching the hair count as well?
Grandpa Song, who had not yet left, was still standing at the door, looking at the joy of the survivors in the yard.
He never thought that Shen Changyuan would come out so easily.
During the days when Shen Changyuan was detained, he knew exactly who was standing by and watching, and who was working hard for him.
He was still holding Fu Yun, and he nodded politely to Master Song from a distance: "Uncle Song."
Master Song has been in the officialdom all his life, and he showed no embarrassment at all. He said kindly: "It's good that you're back. Mianzhi and I are very worried about you. It's not easy to turn danger into safety this time. You must be careful with your words and actions in the future."
Shen Changyuan said: "You taught me that."
After Grandpa Song left, Fu Yun invited everyone into the house.
The clouds of sorrow that had hung over the villa for days dissipated with Shen Changyuan's safe return, and all the servants were rejoicing. There were many guests today, and Mrs. Wang was busy making a list, sending the driver to buy groceries, and preparing dinner in the kitchen, without even touching the ground.
Shuang Xu was making tea, and He Tingzhou was sitting on the sofa opposite her.
Yue Zifeng finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart, and he chattered non-stop, telling about the cold stares he had suffered while running around with Shen Yu outside these days.
In front of everyone, Shuang Xu was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't even look at He Tingzhou.
But I always feel guilty and get distracted from time to time when making tea.
"It's time to turn off the fire." Shen Yu's voice rang beside her, reminding her, "Mingqian Longjing tea is fresh and tender, and the water temperature should not exceed 85 degrees."
"...Oh." Shuang Xu quickly turned off the fire, "Then I'll leave it for a while."
Shen Yu looked relaxed, a look he hadn't seen in days. He smiled and said, "It's okay for family members to drink together."
Shuang Xu felt as if there were two nails stuck in his back.
While serving tea, he glanced at He Tingzhou.
He was listening to Yue Zifeng reading the blacklist recorded in the grudge book, his expression was very distracted, and he didn't even look at her.
"Make one for me, too."
"Do you still need to keep a grudge book? Aren't they all other people who are holding a grudge against you?" Yue Zifeng was very gossipy. "Tell me, who was the first person to be included in your grudge book?"
He Tingzhou said lazily: "My enemy, how can I tell you?"
Shuang Xu brewed the tea, and Shen Yu poured a cup himself and handed it to He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou reached out to take it and glanced at the clear, bright green tea soup, which exuded a refreshing bean fragrance.
"Tingzhou, I'm so sorry for what happened to my dad this time." Shen Yu said sincerely, "How do you want me to thank you?"
He Tingzhou took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, "No need."
These words sounded like something that meant there was no need to thank each other between brothers. Shen Yu placed his hands on his shoulders and patted them twice.
Only Shuang Xu knew what He Tingzhou meant.
There was no need for Shen Yu to thank him; this was a deal between her and He Tingzhou.
Fu Yun strongly requested that they stay for dinner. Yue Zifeng rubbed his hands and said, "Aunt Fu, I won't be polite. I'm already hungry."
He Tingzhou was not disappointed and stayed without hesitation.
After dinner, Shuang Xu sat next to Shen Yu, and opposite Shen Yu was He Tingzhou.
Shen Changyuan was able to escape from trouble this time thanks to Commander He's help, so he was quite polite and grateful to He Tingzhou in his words.
He Tingzhou responded calmly and behaved naturally throughout the whole process.
After dinner, they did not stay long, leaving the space for their family.
Fu Yun asked Shen Changyuan about his experience in the past few days and whether he had suffered. Shen Changyuan comforted her: "In a society ruled by law, who dares to take action?"
He did not mention a single word about the mental torture he suffered during the interrogation.
Shuang Xu's cell phone vibrated slightly in her pocket. When she saw the words "Brother Tingzhou", she subconsciously looked up at Shen Yu and Shen Changyuan.
They were talking and no one noticed her.
Brother Tingzhou: [Come out]
"Father, mother, the company needs a document urgently. I'm going over there."
She found an excuse and when she stood up, Shen Yu said, "I'll take you there."
Shuang Xu quickly shook his head: "No need, brother, you have been tired for several days, take a rest."
As she walked out, Fu Yun's voice came from behind her: "Come back early when you're done. If it's too late, ask your brother to pick you up."
Thinking that He Tingzhou probably just had something to say, it wouldn't be long before Shuang Xu agreed and walked out into the night.
