Little fool
Shen Chu thought, even if he and Xie Shiming were holding hands now, these people probably thought they didn't want outsiders to talk about them.
And why does Shen Chu need to prove anything to them?
A group of people who don't need to be cared about too much.
However...it is obviously impossible to let him suffer the loss like this.
"You want to attend my birthday party? Sure. Just beg me and maybe I'll agree."
Shen Chu spoke bluntly and bluntly: “After all, I was invited to participate this time, not for your sake.”
"And today is not your birthday party."
"Or, wait until you invite me to your birthday party. I can reciprocate."
Jian Zizhuo's face couldn't help but twitch.
Although he knew that he would definitely not get a good response, every time he heard Shen Chu answer him, he still had an indescribable "sense of surprise".
Yes, it feels like a surprise.
So people always want to continue exploring.
Jian Zizhuo fixed his sight on Shen Chu, and when he felt the gaze, he shifted his gaze to Xie Shiming.
Tsk, what a scary look.
You should let these blind people around you see this and stop thinking you are so smart all day long.
But without mentioning Xie Shiming's attitude, he actually couldn't figure it out. If Shen Chu had a good relationship with the Shen family, why did he go abroad? And it was said that he had been abroad since he was a child. After so many years, how could he still have the same relationship with the Shen family? No matter how deep the relationship was when he was a child, it would have been worn away by time, right?
What's more, they are not my biological children.
After all, in a family like theirs, even biological children may not have much affection for each other.
There was mockery in Jian Zizhuo's eyes.
He couldn't tell why, but he always wanted to annoy Shen Chu.
Although he is usually the one who gets annoyed in the end...
But if one day I could really see this guy change his face, it would definitely be a very nice feeling.
"I'll have a birthday party, and I'll invite you all to come then."
Xie Shiming spoke at this time, his eyes swept over the people in front of him: "I will definitely invite you to Chuchu and I's birthday party."
Several people looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Xie Shiming to speak at this time.
Jian Zizhuo sneered.
"Okay, I'll wait."
After the birthday banquet, Qiao Jiaxuan took the initiative to book a private room and invited Shen Mingzhou, Shen Shuo, Shen Chu and Xie Shiming to come over.
He didn't try to hide it this time. After all, his attitude was very clear at the birthday party.
"You may have noticed something, so I'll speak frankly."
The door of the box was closed, and everyone was seated. Qiao Jiaxuan did not beat around the bush. His personality was indeed more decisive and direct than his appearance suggested.
He looked at Shen Chu and smiled: "I did come here for this child."
"I wonder how much you know about his biological father?"
After the words were spoken, there was silence for a moment.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about this possibility, but hearing Qiao Jiaxuan say it this way, I still don’t know how to react.
"Chu Chu's father..."
Shen Shuo glanced at Shen Chu and spoke first: “We did look for him, but Chu Chu’s mother didn’t have any news about his father, let alone us.”
Moreover, they had no direct contact with Shen Chu's mother Xiang Xingyue. After all, there was no chance, so it was even more impossible for them to learn about Shen Chu's biological father from Xiang Xingyue. When Xie Shiming was with Xiang Xingyue, he was still too young, and Xiang Xingyue died of illness soon, so it was even more impossible for them to know any news.
In addition, Xiang Xingyue was pregnant before marriage at that time. This kind of thing, no matter when, is not a shameful thing. Xiang Xingyue's parents did not accept it in the first place, and it was even more impossible for them to say anything about it.
Therefore, there is even less information about who Xiang Xingyue is having an affair with.
They really didn't have much information about that man.
Shen Chu also knew this.
He had thought about who his biological father was, but that was just a thought.
In this life and the previous life combined, there is no news about him, and he has never met this person. Even if he thought about him at first, he gradually stopped thinking about him. He had put such thoughts aside a long time ago.
But now, Mr. Qiao in front of him took the initiative to talk about his biological father whom he had never met...
I guess they know each other.
But for a moment, Shen Chu did not take the initiative to say anything.
Or, to be more precise, he really didn't know what to say.
A little confused.
"What is your relationship with Chuchu's father?"
The person who asked the questions this time was Xie Shiming.
He met Qiao Jiaxuan's gaze and continued, "How is his father now?"
The main problem is this -
Shen Chu couldn't help but prick up his ears.
"His father is dead."
Shen Chu opened his mouth and passed away...
These two words were like a hammer suddenly hitting him on the head.
It’s hard to say how big or heavy the hammer is, but it certainly doesn’t feel good.
It's not such a pleasant feeling...
The next moment, someone held my hand.
Shen Chu lowered his head and looked at the hand holding him——
There is no doubt that it was Xie Shiming's hand.
The person who held his hand at this time could only be Xie Shiming.
That hand was much larger than his, with long joints and faint blue veins on the back of the hand. It held him tightly, yet warmly.
As if he had never noticed Xie Shiming's hand, Shen Chu kept his head down and blinked hard.
Qiao Jiaxuan had been paying attention to Shen Chu, so he naturally noticed this scene.
He was a little surprised and a little strange, but more of a sigh at the child's reaction...
"The child's father is called Du Chengxiu. He went to South City alone to make a living more than ten years ago. I met him at that time."
Qiao Jiaxuan sighed and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes. He paused for a few seconds before speaking again: "He is my eldest brother. We are friends who have risked our lives for each other. He saved my life, and then we worked hard together, started a business together, and wanted to gain a foothold in the South City together. He said that because he was a poor boy, the family of the person he loved was unwilling to accept him."
"He wants to build a career, then return home in glory and marry someone."
"Didn't he know that Chuchu's mother was pregnant at the time?"
Qiao Jiaxuan looked at Xie Shiming with a complicated expression and shook his head: "I don't know."
"In fact, he didn't even know he had such a child until his eldest brother passed away."
Shen Chu tightened his grip on Xie Shiming's hand, slowly raised his head, and couldn't help but pursed his lips.
"Then how did he... die?"
"I'm overworked and my body is broken."
Qiao Jiaxuan looked at Shen Chu: "I'm sorry, even I only knew about your existence after my eldest brother passed away."
"Because when your father died, he said he wanted to bury him back home and let me take a look at your mother on his behalf, but I couldn't find anyone at that time."
Shen Chu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he went back with his uncle and Xie Shiming. He did hear a grandmother say that someone was asking about his mother. Could it be this Mr. Qiao at that time?
It's a pity that they missed it.
"Over the years, I have never given up looking for the child's mother. Later, I got the news that she had already..."
Qiao Jiaxuan sighed, "After confirming the news, I thought about letting my eldest brother get closer to the other party. Later, I found out that someone had worshipped before, so I followed the path and found out about the existence of this child."
It was only until Shen Chu returned that he knew where to find the child.
Even if there was no this project, Qiao Jiaxuan would have come to City B.
Life is so unpredictable.
It's also very common.
It is so common that these matters of life and death do not even give people a way to vent when they are talked about.
Shen Chu was silent all the way, and didn't say a word until he returned to his room.
Xie Shiming followed him into the room, knowing that no one would come back to disturb him at this time, he closed the door and watched Shen Chu lying on the bed in a depressed mood.
He was somewhat surprised at what would happen after the birthday party tonight.
After thinking for a while, Xie Shiming walked past Sen Wan to tidy up, half squatted beside the bed and looked at Chen Chu.
Shen Chu was lying on the bed with his face facing Xie Shiming. When he saw Xie Shiming squatting down to look at him, he turned his face to the other side.
After a while, Xie Shiming stood up, walked around his feet, and squatted down on the bed again.
"Don't look at me."
Shen Chu buried his face in the bed.
After a while, he almost suffocated himself, and quickly raised his face and glared at Xie Shiming.
But this person still doesn’t leave!
"I'm worried about you."
As if he knew what Shen Chu was thinking, Xie Shiming said, “I’m afraid you’ll cry.”
Shen Chu flattened his mouth and lay on the bed, his face a little dull: “I can’t cry.”
“Isn’t this bad?”
"But I don't know if I'm sad right now, I just... I might be sad, I don't know, I just don't feel good."
"I don't want to talk."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand came up and rubbed his head.
"It's okay, if you don't want to talk, then don't talk."
"Not being able to cry doesn't mean anything."
Xie Shiming slowed down his tone: "Chu Chu, no one thinks you have to cry."
I don’t know why, but after Xie Shiming said these words, Shen Chu wanted to cry.
But he sniffed and held it.
After knocking his chin on the bed, Shen Chu paused for a while, and finally said, "I haven't seen him. It's impossible to say that I haven't thought about why he didn't come to see me, but it's just a thought. I thought... I haven't seen them, but I know that my mother loves me. As for him... I don't know anything, so I told myself not to think about it."
"But it turns out he doesn't even know I exist."
"But he loves his mother, but..."
Shen Chu couldn't say the rest of the words.
Because he suddenly remembered his childhood and wondered if that disaster and misfortune was really him?
Otherwise, why would his biological father also die of overwork in a place he didn't know?
The more he thought about it, the paler Shen Chu's face became.
Xie Shiming realized something was wrong and frowned as he tried to pry Shen Chu up.
But Shen Chu was upset at this time, and he subconsciously resisted and struggled, and even wanted to bury his head again, not wanting Xie Shiming to look at him.
"Chu Chu——"
Xie Shiming locked the person in his arms and frowned: "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Chu met Xie Shiming's gaze with red eyes, and then smashed his head on Xie Shiming's shoulder: "Really, can you not be so sharp all the time."
"For you, it's impossible."
Xie Shiming whispered: "Or you can just cry."
"No."
Shen Chu’s voice was muffled, and his expression was invisible.
But Xie Shiming felt the wetness in the crook of his neck.
He couldn't help but frown, still feeling something was wrong.
Not only did he suddenly know about his biological father, he must have thought of something else just now...
But obviously Shen Chu was unwilling to say it.
Xie Shiming could only hug her tighter.
After thinking for a while, he whispered: "If you want to hide something, you are just a little fool who is looking for trouble."
Shen Chu: “…”
He is crying!
Too much!
Still talking about him!
Shen Chu was so angry that he wanted to pinch Xie Shiming's waist, but he was buried in the socket of Xie Shiming's shoulder and couldn't see it. When he stretched out his hand, he touched Xie Shiming's lower abdomen first.
Suddenly, I felt the tightness in that place.
It's even harder to pinch it this way.
But Shen Chu's mind was in a mess, he couldn't pinch it, and he didn't dare to move. He just kept his hand there, feeling the rise and fall of his tense breathing.
I don't know how to react further...
After a while, Xie Shiming's slightly hoarse voice rang in my ears -
"At the beginning..."
Shen Chu seemed to have just woken up from a dream and hurriedly tried to push the person away.
But he is the only one who can push himself.
He was in a panic and wanted to stand up when he pushed Xie Shiming. However, he was tripped by someone's leg and couldn't even tell whether it was his own. He suddenly fell backwards. As a result, because of his panic, his hand changed from pushing to grabbing.
As a result, when she finally reacted, she grabbed Xie Shiming's collar and lay on her back on the bed.
Then, he met Xie Shiming's gaze that was looking down at him.
