At this moment, Shen Zhengdong felt that something very important was gradually leaving him.
Seeing Shen Zhengdong staring at him with complicated eyes, Shen Cinian's eyes were full of disgust.
"What are you doing here?"
Hearing Shen Cinian's question, Shen Zhengdong came back to his senses in an instant.
Duan Shuang looked at Tang Wanning with a sinister look and asked, "Tang Wanning, why did you hit my son?"
Shen Cinian took a step forward, blocking Tang Wanning behind him, and his voice was even colder than usual.
"Do you have a say here?"
Hearing Shen Cinian's words, Shen Zhengdong looked unfriendly: "Xiao Nian, Xiao Shuang is your elder after all, how can you speak to her in this tone?"
"She's just a shameless bed-climber, and she's worthy of being called my elder?"
"Shen Cinian." Shen Zhengdong's eyes were cold and his tone was serious, "Where is your upbringing?"
Shen Ci Nian sneered and said self-deprecatingly: "My mother died a long time ago, and as for my father, he was busy raising a son for someone else, so no one taught me what education is."
Hearing the sarcasm in Shen Cinian's words, Shen Zhengdong's face turned pale and blue.
But he didn't know how to refute it. After all, what Shen Cinian said was the truth.
"I'm sorry for you, but you can't do anything to Bei Zheng. What did he do wrong?"
"If he doesn't provoke me, I won't even look at him."
Hearing Shen Zhengdong's nonchalant questioning, Duan Shuang gritted his teeth in anger.
As expected, since they are not my biological children, I just don’t feel sorry for them.
"Even if Bei Zheng provoked you, you are brothers after all. How could you have the heart to use such harsh tactics?"
"Can you please stop flattering yourself? Do you really think that just by changing his last name, he's Shen Zhengdong's biological son?"
"You...you..." Duan Shuang's eyes widened, as if about to spit fire. "Even if Beizheng is not Zhengdong's biological son, Zhengdong's love for Beizheng over the years is obvious to all, and Beizheng has long regarded Zhengdong as his biological father. This is an undeniable fact, don't try to sow discord between them!"
"I'm just stating the facts, why are you so excited?"
"Don't change the subject. I just want to ask you why you were so harsh on Bei Zheng."
Chen Qinian's attitude was lazy and his tone was sarcastic. "Why, you're old and have Alzheimer's? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you have a disease, go get treatment immediately and don't come out and harass others."
"Who are you calling Alzheimer's? Do you even understand the distinction between seniority and inferiority?"
"Look, I told you you have Alzheimer's, but you still don't admit it."
After so many years of living a life of luxury, Duan Shuang had no idea how to deal with Shen Qinian's carefree attitude.
So, she could only throw herself into Shen Zhengdong's arms with tears in her eyes.
"Zhengdong, you have to make the decision for my mother and me, otherwise we will have no way to survive."
"You're so old, and you always throw yourself at men. What's wrong? Can't you live without men?" Shen Qinian's eyes were full of sarcasm. "You're so old, and you don't feel ashamed."
When Duan Shuang heard this, his body suddenly stiffened and even his expression became distorted.
Shen Zhengdong reached out and pushed Duan Shuang, a hint of unnaturalness flashing across his eyes.
"Xiao Shuang, this is a public place, please be mindful of your influence. As a university professor, I need to set a good example for my students."
After these words were spoken, Duan Shuang could no longer hold back and his expression instantly became ferocious.
"Shen Zhengdong, what do you mean? I've served you like a slave for so many years, and now my son has been bullied. It's fine if you don't help us get justice, but you even blame me for bringing shame upon you?"
Because he was too angry, Duan Shuang's chest heaved violently, and even his voice became a little sharper.
"Shen Zhengdong, do you still have any conscience?"
Shen Zhengdong had not expected that his wife, who had always been gentle as water, would now question him aggressively.
What she said made Shen Zhengdong feel even more angry.
"Duan Shuang, you're going too far."
"How did I go too far!" Duan Shuang yelled hysterically, "Bei Zheng has two broken ribs and is in the hospital. Not only did you not seek justice for Bei Zheng, but you actually turned your anger on me. Are you still worthy of being a father and a husband?"
Being pointed at and scolded by people who never dared to question him, Shen Zhengdong was so angry that his veins popped out.
"For so many years, I raised Beizheng as my own son. To consider his feelings, I even left Xiaonian to be raised by my father.
You said you wanted to give Bei Zheng a good education, so I worked tirelessly to make money to satisfy your desires. I even lowered my dignity to beg my father for your sake. So, I ask you, why am I unworthy of being a father and a husband?
Neighbor 1: "I've heard for a long time that Shen Zhengdong abandoned his own child to Old Shen in order to raise someone else's, but Old Shen has always denied it. I didn't expect it to be true."
"As expected, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. It's just a pity for Xiao Shen to have such a father."
"Who says it's not true? He doesn't raise his own son, but raises someone else's son. Shen Zhengdong is a university professor. Is he mentally ill?"
"I think so too. Otherwise, who would do such a thing? No wonder every time Shen Zhengdong comes over, Old Shen doesn't treat him well."
......
Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Shen Zhengdong's face became even uglier, and he hated Duan Shuang in his heart.
It's all this woman's fault. If she hadn't pointed at his nose and scolded him, he wouldn't have lost control in front of everyone.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhengdong's eyes looking at Duan Shuang became much more violent.
Upon seeing this, Duan Shuang was frightened by the violence in his eyes and took a step back, and his remaining rationality slowly returned at this time.
No, she couldn't let the situation continue to develop. Now she and the children could only rely on Shen Zhengdong, and she must not fall out with him at this time!
Looking at the contempt in the eyes of the people around him, Duan Shuang suppressed his inner anger and pulled Shen Zhengdong's sleeve with a trembling voice.
"Zheng...Zhengdong." Duan Shuang's voice trembled, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes. "Beizheng is still lying in the hospital. I can't help but feel distressed when I think of him sweating coldly in pain on the hospital bed. Add to that the words that Xiaojian...Xiaonian said, and I was so angry that I lost my mind."
Before he finished speaking, Duan Shuang's tears began to roll down her cheeks. She was like a dying leaf, unable to find a home.
She raised her tearful face, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with admiration, piety and pleading, as if Shen Zhengdong was her god.
"Zhengdong, my mind was completely confused at the time and I didn't know what I was saying. Could you please...please stop arguing with me?"
