Shen Jiarui and Luo Wuyan stood not far away, quietly listening to their conversation.
After Shen Jinmo got into the car, Shen Jiarui practically ran to catch up with the car heading back to the Shen family home.
The car, with the heater on, was filled with the cold wind from outside.
Shen Jinmo sneezed coldly.
"What are you doing following me in?" Shen Jingmo glanced at Shen Jiarui with disdain.
Shen Jiarui rubbed his hands together, his tall frame squeezing closer to Shen Jinmo, and nudged Shen Jinmo's shoulder with his shoulder.
Just like when we were kids.
Although they are not biological brothers, they are cousins.
But they all grew up in the Shen family's old house.
In his youth, he was wild and lawless.
Despite being just as playful as himself, Shen Jinmo matured on his own and single-handedly supported the Shen family after his father passed away.
Therefore, in Shen Jiarui's world, as long as his older brother Shen Jinmo is there.
He can then act crazy without restraint, like a child who never has to grow up.
He gets involved in everything from racing cars and boxing to gambling on sports; he doesn't do anything serious.
It wasn't until four years ago, when Shen Jinmo collapsed on his sickbed and became a vegetable, that he was entrusted with a critical mission and realized how difficult it had been for his elder brother to manage the Shen family business and grow it to its current size.
"Brother, there are no outsiders here now, and you don't need to put on an act for anyone. You must have pretended to be dying on purpose to make your sister-in-law feel guilty and change her mind about you, right?"
Shen Jiarui asked him with a grin.
This is the answer he subconsciously wanted.
As long as Shen Jinmo is willing to admit it, he is willing to believe it.
Shen Jinmo's icy hand slowly rested on Shen Jiarui's shoulder and gently patted it.
Her sickly face, illuminated by the passing lights from the window, possessed a touch of morbid beauty.
“It’s not a lie,” Shen Jinmo said with a smile.
Shen Jiarui's right eyebrow twitched violently
It is often said that a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck.
It seems to be indicating something.
Shen Jiarui smiled and shook his head in disbelief: "Even at this point, you're still playing me."
Are you worried that I'm a loose tongue and that my relationship with Shen Wuyan might reach your sister-in-law's ears, ruining your plans?
Don't worry, I won't. I swear on my lifelong happiness.
He also reverently raised three fingers.
Lin Jing, who was driving, sighed in the front seat.
"Lin Jing, drive your car properly, and don't sigh for no reason."
Shen Jiarui was on the verge of a mental breakdown and couldn't stand any negative emotions.
Shen Jinmo also understood why Shen Jiarui had become so irritable.
He also wished that Shen Jiarui could continue to live a carefree life as the second young master of the Shen family.
But men, eventually, must grow up and take on responsibilities.
"Jia Rui, brother, you won't live more than two years. That's a fact, I'll only say it once."
Shen Jinmo solemnly and seriously informed Shen Jiarui.
In an instant, Shen Jiarui seemed to have been put on pause.
She stared blankly at Shen Jinmo, her eyes bloodshot.
"Brother...you big idiot, you big idiot. Aren't you always so good at planning and strategizing? Why didn't you leave yourself a way out?"
Shen Jiarui grabbed Shen Jinmo's shoulder, hugged him, patted his back repeatedly, and burst into tears.
"Cough cough..."
His violent pounding caused Shen Jinmo to cough violently.
Lin Jing quickly reminded Shen Jiarui, "Second Young Master, please take it easy. President Shen can't take this kind of beating right now."
Shen Jiarui jumped back in a second, wiping away the tears on his face: "I'll find you a doctor, the best doctor, I'm sure we can find a solution, I'll go right now."
"Lin Jing, stop the car and let me out."
Shen Jingmo gave Lin Jing a look, signaling him to do as he was told.
He knows his younger brother too well.
When she cries, she's concerned about saving face and likes to hide away to cry.
Perhaps he also wanted to find a place to hide away, calm down, and cry out all his emotions.
After Shen Jiarui was released from the car.
I sat by the roadside, letting the cold wind blow on me for a long time.
His nose turned red from the blowing and snot was running down his face before he got up and went to Luo Wuyan's place.
Luo Wuyan has been discharged from the hospital and is recuperating at home.
When the apartment door opened, Luo Wuyan had just finished showering. She was wearing a shower cap and a bathrobe, and her fair skin was still steaming.
Shen Jiarui was quite cold from the chilly weather.
"What are you still standing outside for? Are you freezing?"
Luo Wuyan pulled him into the house.
Shen Jiarui sat blankly on the sofa, head down, without saying a word.
Luo Wuyan poured him a cup of hot water to warm his hands.
The indoor heating was on full blast, and the constant flow of heat caused Shen Jiarui to sneeze several times due to the large temperature difference.
"It's your brother who's dying, why are you acting like you're the one dying?" Luo Wuyan looked at him as if he had lost his soul and wanted to comfort him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she used her usual sarcastic tone.
"It would be better if I died. My brother is much more capable than me. Why should he be the one to die instead of me?" Shen Jiarui sniffed.
Luo Wuyan was enraged by his words. She snatched the water glass from his hand and slammed it heavily on the coffee table: "So, for your brother's sake, you're willing to die in his place and I don't care?"
"That's not what I meant. I'm just angry that God was unfair to him."
Shen Jiarui realized that he had upset Luo Wuyan, so he quickly turned around to comfort her.
Luo Wuyan actually had a bad impression of Shen Jinmo.
She will always stand by Lu Zhiwei's side.
If his marriage with Lu Zhiwei hadn't broken down, she would still have chosen to stand on Shen Jiarui's side and lament Shen Jinmo's fate.
She couldn't empathize with Shen Jiarui's emotions right now.
