Chapter 71 "Illegitimate Child"
"You are slandering me. When did I ever lie to you?" Shen Nuo frowned and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"You said you only like me."
Fu Chuji's eyebrows were cold: "Turn around and praise Meng Ziyan."
Mentioning Meng Ziyan again, Shen Nuo forgot to correct his words, she explained: "That's because he is an artist under the Shen Group. If I don't support him, I will support someone else."
Fu Chuji's lips sank, and he sneered: "There are others"
“…”
Shen Nuo looked at him suspiciously: "Are you jealous?"
"no."
He pulled the corner of his lips: "I'm afraid that someone else will take your money. Is there any problem?"
"That's good." Shen Nuo patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought we were really talking."
“…”
Fu Chuji's eyebrows were instantly covered with a layer of frost. He stood up suddenly and said, "I don't dare to think as much as you do."
After he said that, he turned around and went back into the house.
Shen Nuo looked at his back and sighed softly.
It's not that she doesn't understand everything, but she always feels that she knows very little about him. She is a psychologically fragile person and really can't accept being deceived.
Chen Nuo sat outside for a while. The originally dark sky now turned pale, and a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds.
It is difficult to see such a beautiful sunrise in the city, as it is almost always foggy.
Shen Nuo turned to look at Fu Chuji who was already sitting on the sofa: "Do you want to watch the sunrise?"
He said coldly, "No need."
Shen Nuo was disappointed and turned back to admire it himself.
But not long after, she felt someone sitting next to her.
Shen Nuo glanced at him. He lowered his brows and didn't know what he was thinking.
She cleared her throat and took the initiative to open the topic: "Would you like to go to Qingyun Temple with me later? If you don't want to go, just wait here for me to come back."
“Since I’m already here, why shouldn’t I go?”
Shen Nuo wondered: "Don't you believe this?"
He glanced at her lightly: "Who said I don't believe it?"
"Okay, okay."
Shen Nuo propped up his head and looked at him: "Then what do you want to ask for? Do you also want to ask for wealth?"
After knowing him for so long, she always felt that he seemed to have no desires, and it was really hard to imagine what he would want.
Fu Chuji withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Seeking marriage."
“…”
Shen Nuo choked on his own saliva: "Seeking marriage"
"You can pray for wealth, why can't I pray for marriage?" he asked lightly.
“…You’re right, marriage is also a major event in life.” Shen Nuo reluctantly agreed.
Fu Chuji said calmly, "Actually, my family has arranged a marriage for me."
“…”
Shen Nuo was stunned. Her mind went blank for a moment. She pointed at herself and then at him, and said incoherently: "Then you...I..."
Fu Chuji curled the corners of his lips slightly: "It's a pity that she doesn't like me."
“…”
Shen Nuo's heart finally relaxed a little. She complained, "Can you please stop breathing so hard when you speak? It's frightening."
She almost thought she was a mistress.
"Aren't you curious why she doesn't like me?"
"Everyone has their own preferences, and arranged marriages are unacceptable."
After he felt relieved again, Shen Nuo resumed his lazy tone.
"Because I'm a bastard."
He threw out these words in a calm tone, causing Shen Nuo's heart to be shaken again.
She asked cautiously, "You...are you kidding?"
"You think I'm joking," he said with a cold expression.
“…”
Shen Nuo was silent. She had just been thinking that she didn't know him well enough, but who knew he would throw out such a thing the moment she turned around.
I don't know how long it took before she cleared her throat and slowly said:
"These days... every family has two illegitimate children. There are so many of them in our circle. It's no big deal."
Fu Chuji's tone was emotionless: "Really?"
"Of course I am. Look at me. Even if I wasn't an illegitimate child, those people still made up stories about me and my mother behind my back. But so what? No one dares to say those things to my face. My background is secondary. The most important thing is to be able to shut others up."
As Shen Nuo spoke, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
She remembered that a long time ago, the word "illegitimate child" had weighed on her head for many years.
In another world, the Shen family was also a well-known large family, and their situation was somewhat similar to that of the current Lu family.
When Shen Nuo was young, she didn't know her own life experience. She lived with her mother. In her memory, her mother was a woman as weak as a dodder, and the man she called dad only came here once a month.
Her mother had always been in poor health and passed away when she was in junior high school. She overheard her aunt chatting at home, and her words were full of sympathy for her and asked her what she should do in the future.
Later, she was taken back to the Shen family. In fact, she had already guessed it, but after being called a bastard by the child, she still pinned him to the ground and beat him up.
Afterwards, she jumped into the swimming pool and got herself soaked. She ran to her grandfather, who was in charge of the family, to complain, saying that he was the one who pushed her into the water first and called her a bastard.
As expected, she was not punished at all, but her cousin was punished to copy the family rules ten times.
That’s right, their family is so old-fashioned that they even have family rules.
Later, no one in the family dared to mess with her anymore, and Shen Nuo knew very well that her scumbag father was unreliable and had no ability, so she chose to cling to her grandfather. Finally, when she grew up, she was the one who got the most property among all her brothers and sisters.
Perhaps for this reason, she was not too panicked when she first came to this world, and Shen Huai treated her sister much better than she expected.
Putting his thoughts away, Shen Nuo met Fu Chuji's slightly inquiring gaze.
"what's on your mind"
"Oh, I was just thinking about my fiancé whom I've never met."
Shen Nuo remained calm and said, "Even your President Fu is an illegitimate child. He is not the one who makes the decision at the moment, so don't underestimate yourself."
Fu Chuji: “…” This example is not necessary.
But what he couldn't understand was, after losing his memory, could his perspective change so drastically? And...
His eyes darkened slightly, and her expression just now was clearly more like reminiscing.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Shen Nuo sighed and said, "How about I tell you another story about a grassroots who counterattacked and became an emperor?"
"……Need not."
"Okay." She looked regretful.
She looked up at the sky and found that the sun had already come out. The sunlight reflected the red glow on the horizon, and the light was bright but not dazzling.
"bite."
The phone she placed on the table rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a photo sent by Meng Ziyan.
The sunrise in the photo was exactly the same as the one she saw now.
