really.
The entire Shen residence was red, except for Shen Junsheng's place.
I don't know whether Chen Guiwu had told them in advance that there was no need to post anything here, or whether Shen Junsheng had already taken down all the red lanterns and wedding characters with his own hands without caring. The yard where Shen Junsheng lived was as deserted and quiet as ever.
Shen Qinghuan walked in and saw that there was no one around, so he went straight into the study.
I pushed the door open, but there was no one there.
She frowned slightly, and a faint aroma of wine wafted through the air. Shen Qinghuan sniffed the scent and followed it to the backyard garden.
Sure enough, he saw Shen Junsheng lying in the flowers, drunk until the early morning.
Apparently, my eldest brother came back drunk since leaving his father's bedroom last night.
"Big brother."
Shen Qinghuan walked to the side of Shen Junsheng, who was still drunk and asleep at noon, and called out in a cold voice.
Ignore her.
"Shen Junsheng!" Shen Qinghuan raised her foot and kicked Shen Junsheng's leg.
The force was quite strong, and this time, Shen Junsheng finally reacted. He slowly opened his cold and sharp eyes, and muttered subconsciously.
“…Awu!”
But when he saw the person in front of him with surprise, the hope in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and his eyes returned to their cold look.
"Why are you here?" His tone was neither salty nor bland, and his voice was hoarse and rough with a hangover.
The messy hair that is usually neatly groomed, coupled with the wild and tall body, makes it look like a drunk Alaska, with a wild and cute contrast.
Shen Junsheng also knew that lying down would be unbecoming of him, so he raised his hands to support himself on the ground and slowly got up.
Shen Qinghuan got straight to the point. "What happened back then? Did that woman like you or my father?"
Shen Junsheng paused, his cold jawline tensed, and then his eyes suddenly raised.
"Why are you asking these questions?" He paused, then twitched his lips and stared at Shen Qinghuan casually with a hint of sharpness in his heart, "Why, are you worried about Sheng Wu?"
Shen Qinghuan, "Answer my question first."
Seeing her so cold and persistent, Shen Junsheng suddenly chuckled, but he couldn't tell whether the mockery in that smile was directed at Shen Qinghuan or himself.
"As expected, even you have fallen in love with such a unique person..." Shen Junsheng lowered his head slightly, muttering to himself, his cold eyes became complicated, wrapped in a hint of hidden sad memories.
The man sat on the stone bench in the garden, picked up a bottle with half a bottle of wine left in it from a pile of empty bottles on the table, and took a sip.
"You and Zheliu both returned to China and Beijing in recent years, while I... was only abroad for two years, the rest was spent in Beijing."
Hearing this, Shen Qinghuan understood that he was about to say something, so she didn't interrupt him and just listened.
"When I was 17, you and Zheliu were both abroad. I met someone in Beijing. She had a bad temper and was prone to violence. The first time I met her, she whipped me and knocked me off my horse. I looked up from where I fell to the ground and there she was, standing in the light."
Speaking of this, Shen Junsheng's dark and sinister eyes were rarely stained with tenderness and affection, as if eight years had not diluted his love for that woman.
"She was very beautiful, incomparable to anyone else. She could do everything: shoot a gun, sing opera, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was so dazzling that I couldn't look away, even though she was 10 years older than me at the time. But I still expressed my feelings to her, and she smiled and promised me that if I dared to propose, she would marry me."
After a pause, as if he thought of something, Shen Junsheng's voice gradually became hoarse and slow, his eyes looked into the distance, and his vision became unfocused.
"Then, I went home and told my father about it, hoping he would propose to me. He initially agreed and told me to treat the girl well. But when it was time to meet her, he rejected it without a care in the world, saying that the girl and I were not a good match and asked me to think it over again."
"At first I thought he disliked her because she was an actress, until my father sent me away to the military academy for two months of training. When I came back, he actually told me that he wanted to marry her!!"
Having said that, Shen Junsheng laughed angrily, a mocking and broken smile spread across his wild and unruly face, the white in his eye sockets was stained with bloodshot, and his pupils trembled slightly, showing such unwillingness and resentment.
"I didn't believe she would change her mind, so I went looking for her. But when I arrived, I found her house had burned down! I didn't even see her body. She was buried in the Shen family's ancestral tomb by my father!"
"Tell me, if he hadn't robbed her, how could she have died? Why would she have chosen to burn herself to death rather than marry him? It was him! He was the one who stole her and stole his son's beloved!"
Shen Junsheng seemed to be venting his anger. His brain was paralyzed by the alcohol and he roared hysterically. Every word he spoke was like crying blood, and his pupils were wide open as he questioned.
"Why would he? He and our mother had three children, so how could he snatch a woman from his son? And even forced her to death!"
Like an enraged beast, he was extremely violent and resentful, and no one could erase the hatred in his heart.
This was the first time in eight years that he had revealed these secrets and resentments to anyone.
“…” How could this be? !
After hearing everything, Shen Qinghuan felt a shock in her heart. Her pupils suddenly shrank and she looked at the crazy Shen Junsheng in disbelief.
According to the eldest brother's temperament, he simply disdains to lie, and this incident also corresponds to why the eldest brother's relationship with his father has been so bad over the years, and they were even at loggerheads last night.
So, this is the truth?!
Did my father really steal someone else's love?! He even sent my eldest brother away and deliberately created time to snatch the woman he liked!
Although Shen Qinghuan had already believed most of it, she still had some rationality and doubts.
She took a deep breath, lowered her eyes and looked at him coldly and seriously, with suspicion in her brows.
"Father is not the kind of person who would be blinded by lust. If he had only met her once, how could he suddenly oppose your marriage with that girl, and even..." do something like stealing my eldest brother's lover!
