Chapter 240 Do You Know Where You Went Wrong?
"You know those photos are fake, but you still don't want to listen to my explanation and misunderstand me?"
"I'm sorry." Li Jingshen lowered his head to admit his mistake, not daring to look up at Shen Zhichu. He could imagine how disappointed Shen Zhichu's face was.
He was afraid that Shen Zhichu would leave him, and even more afraid of her words, "Let's end it."
"Are these the only three words you can say?" Shen Zhichu had a blank expression on his face and turned to look at the top of Li Jingshen's head.
His hair was disheveled, and his black hair was covered with dirt and grass, as if he had rolled around somewhere. There were bloodstains on his white shirt and wounds on his face.
Shen Zhichu asked, "How did you get those injuries?"
Li Jingshen's hands hanging on his thighs suddenly clenched into fists, and his jaw straightened. Afraid that Chen Zhichu would worry and think too much, he wanted to say that he accidentally fell and injured himself.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Shen Zhichu ruthlessly cut it off.
"Don't lie."
The biggest source of conflict between them is misunderstanding, mutual suspicion and distrust. No matter whether the lies are well-intentioned or not, they should not continue to be told.
Li Jingshen said honestly: "I had a fight with Lu Tingchuan."
Shen Zhichu was not too surprised: "You two really know each other."
"Did you guess it?"
"I guessed it when I was having dinner with him. He has been trying to sow discord. I thought it was just a trick of his, but I didn't expect that I would fall into his hands." Shen Zhichu said, with a hint of bitterness between his brows.
Li Jingshen looked at Shen Zhichu's dejected expression, and panic filled his heart. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but when he opened his arms, he didn't know how to hug her so that she wouldn't get hurt. He could only blame himself: "It's my fault. I was too scared."
Shen Zhichu didn't expect to hear the word "afraid" from Li Jingshen's mouth. All along, Li Jingshen gave her the feeling of being proud and conceited. He was not good at apologizing or admitting his mistakes, and he was not afraid of anything.
It may be related to the environment he lives in and his status. If there is a problem, solve it. Fear of such negative energy will only make people regress, but Li Jingshen has always been a person who strives forward.
Now when he stared into her eyes and said anxiously, "I'm scared," Shen Zhichu was shocked, but also felt distressed.
"Can you tell me why you are afraid?" Shen Zhichu asked.
Li Jingshen did not hide anything from Shen Zhichu. He told her everything he had experienced in the Li family.
For example, the fight for the heir to the Li family's property. His parents died in a car accident, and there is also the son born to Lu Tingchuan, his mistress, who has the same father's blood as him.
"Lu Tingchuan is your half-brother?" Shen Zhichu was surprised. She guessed that Lu Tingchuan might be Li Jingshen's business rival or mortal enemy, but she never expected that they were actually blood brothers.
One of them has the surname Lu and the other surname Li. How could such a big family like the Li family tolerate Lu Tingchuan's surname? Therefore, Shen Zhichu never thought about it in this way.
"Yes, he believes that his mother was killed by my parents. After being taken to the Li family, he never changed his last name and took his mother's. He is a person with a strong sense of revenge. He has always liked to compete with me for things, including people, to achieve his goals. He will do anything to achieve his goals. He is very meticulous and sometimes I can't see through him."
Shen Zhichu shuddered involuntarily, finally understanding why Lu Tingchuan wanted to approach him.
"Then why didn't you tell me before?"
"I was so angry at the time, and he sent me those photos, and you lied to me..." Li Jingshen couldn't help but lower his voice, "Anyway, I was wrong, and I will never wrong you again."
In fact, she was also wrong. If she hadn't thought too much and explained things honestly, there would be no misunderstanding between them.
After resolving the misunderstanding, Shen Zhichu couldn't let Li Jingshen kneel any longer. She said softly, "Get up. I won't lie to you again and I will definitely stay away from Lu Tingchuan."
What she hated most were those people with bad intentions and ulterior motives. After knowing what kind of person Lu Tingchuan was, she wished she could stay away from him.
