Chapter 47 Guilt

Mrs. Shen was almost stunned at this moment.

Even if it was a result that she had expected many times, it was still unacceptable when she actually saw it.

Mrs. Shen covered the tear in the paper bag with one hand and her chest with the other.

Could it be that...

she had wasted all these ten years?

Mrs. Shen felt hopeless for a moment.

She silently packed the paper bag in her hand.

In the evening.

When Lu Ran came back, he saw Mrs. Shen sitting in the living room with a heavy face.

Mrs. Shen's condition was really a little bit wrong.

Usually, she would put on exquisite makeup, but today she didn't put on any makeup.

Without the modification of lipstick, her lips looked extremely pale, with a strong sense of illness.

Opposite Mrs. Shen, Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingzhuo were sitting.

Shen Hongyuan looked impatient and knocked on the table: "What on earth do you want to do? If you feel unwell, go to the hospital. Why did you call me here so late at night?"

Shen Xingran sat quietly on the other side.

He said nothing, but looked at Mrs. Shen worriedly.

Mrs. Shen avoided his gaze and sneered at Shen Hongyuan: "You will know in a while."

As she said that, she looked at Lu Ran on the side.

It was the first time that Lu Ran saw Mrs. Shen waving to him so gently: "Good boy, come to your mother."

Mrs. Shen patted the seat next to her.

When Shen Hongyuan saw Lu Ran, his face immediately sank and he stared at Mrs. Shen suspiciously.

Shen Xingran lowered his head with a little disappointment.

Lu Ran looked at this family, not understanding what they were doing.

He did not go there first, but sent Da Huang back to the room first, and then returned to the living room.

However, he did not sit next to Mrs. Shen, but sat on the single sofa beside him.

In an instant, the family occupied the four directions of east, south, west and north.

It was a bit funny that they were cold.

Mrs. Shen looked at Lu Ran, her eyelids twitched, but she did not have an attack.

She still remembered what she came here to do. She

took a deep breath, stared at Shen Hongyuan opposite her and said, "I know everything you have been hiding from me for fifteen years."

At this moment, Shen Hongyuan froze, and his pupils trembled twice.

Lu Ran observed the two of them and silently calculated the time.

Fifteen years, it should be the year he was lost.

But soon, Mrs. Shen paused again.

She frowned, calculated, and corrected herself: "No, it should be nineteen years! Or even earlier!"

The astonishment on Shen Hongyuan's face disappeared, and a trace of bewilderment slowly appeared: "Ah?"

"You are still pretending to be stupid!" Mrs. Shen shed a line of tears.

Finally, she couldn't help it, pointing at Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingran, saying: "How long do you want to hide it from me!"

This roar made Lu Ran's brain explode.

He had read the original text of this Mary Sue group's pet article, but he didn't remember the details very clearly. He

only knew that the protagonist was Shen Xingran, and the others were all tops.

So when he heard Mrs. Shen's roar, his mind subconsciously deviated for a moment. He

thought Shen Hongyuan and Shen Xingran were together.

Then his pupils also trembled.

Fortunately, the next second, Mrs. Shen said in a sharp voice: "Shen Hongyuan, are you going to hide the fact that Ranran is your illegitimate child from me for the rest of my life!"

Lu Ran: "?"

Maybe it was because his brain was too full of ideas just now.

When he heard what Mrs. Shen said, the only thing that popped up in his mind was: That's it?

Shen Hongyuan was completely confused.

However, the tension in his body slowly dissipated at first, and his head was full of lawsuits: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Xingran also spoke at the right time, with a depressed look on his face: "Mom... I am an orphan abandoned by my biological parents."

Lu Ran was eating melons silently on the side, and recalled in his mind whether there was this section in the original text.

"Pretend! Pretend again!"

Mrs. Shen's voice was about to explode. She raised her hand and threw the paper bag under the table onto the table: "The results of the paternity test are out, what else do you want to say!"

Lu Ran immediately stretched his head with interest.

Shen Hongyuan was completely stunned.

Even Shen Xingran, the moment she saw the dark red paper bag, the calmness in her eyes was broken for a moment.

There was a trace of astonishment.

"This is impossible!" Shen Hongyuan raised his hand to take the paper bag.

He violently tore the document bag open and pulled out several sheets of appraisal results.

Scanning the words on the paper at a glance, Shen Hongyuan's anger rose.

He "slapped" the document to Mrs. Shen: "Look for yourself at the appraisal results!"

Mrs. Shen was stunned.

Shen Hongyuan didn't look like someone who was angry and ashamed because his secret was exposed.

Mrs. Shen picked up the white document and took a look.

She was shocked to find that the result of the appraisal was: there is no blood relationship.

Mrs. Shen was stunned: "This... this bag is red!"

She was disheartened when she saw the color of the bag.

They started this "family meeting" without even opening the document bag.

Who knows...

did the staff put the bag in the wrong place?

Shen Xingran regained his composure after seeing the result. He sat back on the sofa with his head down, a look of loss and grievance on his face.

"What are you doing all day long! Doing paternity appraisals secretly? If you are too free, go out and find a job! You are so neurotic all day long!"

Shen Hongyuan left in anger.

He looked furious, but there was a hint of ease in his steps as he left.

Lu Ran didn't expect that the melon would be empty after being cut open.

He snorted, thought it was meaningless, and patted his butt and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to grab a handful of the fruit plate on the table.

Only Shen Xingran was still sitting there.

Mrs. Shen held the document and the dark red file bag that was scattered beside it. It was hard

to tell whether she was in a good or bad mood for a while.

Shen Xingran was not an illegitimate child, which should be a good thing.

But Shen Hongyuan's attitude made Mrs. Shen desperately want to prove that she was right.

She called the appraisal agency in anger.

The operator on the other side apologized and told her that the white bags were used up, and the recent orders were all red bags, and everything was subject to the test results.

Mrs. Shen sat there, her mood was like a disco, up and down.

She started to curse the operator, put down her phone and finally regained her sanity.

At this moment, she finally noticed Shen Xingran on the sofa opposite.

The child she raised to the age of nineteen was sitting quietly with her head down.

As if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

"Ranran..." Mrs. Shen's heart was suddenly filled with a mixture of embarrassment and compromise, "You made me look at me... Mommy..."

"I know." Shen Xingran said in a muffled voice, "Mom, you don't have to say anything, I'm fine."

After saying this, Mrs. Shen felt even more guilty and distressed.

"Mom, you have the right to be angry with me. After all, I said bad things outside." Shen Xingran said in a low voice.

Mrs. Shen didn't even remember the rumors that Shen Xingran had spread outside, and immediately said, "There is no overnight hatred between mother and son. Mom has forgiven you a long time ago."

Shen Xingran stood up slowly after hearing this.

He walked slowly towards Mrs. Shen, sat on the ground like he did when he was a child, and rested his head on Mrs. Shen's legs.

Mrs. Shen's heart softened, and she reached out to hold the end of Shen Xingran's hair.

"Mom." Shen Xingran choked and said, "I don't have biological parents, and I don't have other relatives. If you don't want me, I will really have nothing."

"I was afraid that you wouldn't want me, so I said it outside..."

"Good boy, don't say it, don't say it." Mrs. Shen hugged him and comforted him softly.

Shen Xingran's words completely touched Mrs. Shen's heart.

For a moment, the living room was warm and touching.

The barrier between the two disappeared.

Shen Xingran buried his head in Madam Shen's arms, feeling Madam Shen caressing his head, but a trace of complacency flashed in his eyes.

Madam Shen probably didn't remember.

Mrs. Li, who told her the story of illegitimate children and adopted children, was not in the same social circle as her.

It was because Shen Xingran knew Master Li that Mrs. Li and Madam Shen got along well.

During this time, Shen Xingran had already seen that Madam Shen's mind was still lingering on the word "illegitimate child".

So he simply played along.

He asked Master Li to tell Madam Li an outrageous story.

With Madam Li's habit, in order to tell the story vividly, she would definitely pin the matter on her non-existent relatives.

He also knew that Madam Shen had gone to the third floor to get his hair.

Even the agency that Madam Shen found was "passed" to Madam Shen's ears by Shen Xingran who found someone he knew.

The only surprise was probably that Shen Xingran did not expect that this agency would actually use red bags.

The moment he saw the red file bag, Shen Xingran was not just stunned.

He was actually a little happy.

If he was really Shen Hongyuan's biological son...

But, to Madam Shen, he was obviously an orphan with no one to rely on, which was more to her liking.

Shen Xingran closed his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

The next day, Lu Ran got up early as usual.

When he finished washing up and took the dog out, he unexpectedly found that Madam Shen and Shen Xingran were downstairs.

Shen Xingran was waiting at the table.

Madam Shen personally brought out a bowl of steaming sweet porridge from the kitchen and brought it to Shen Xingran.

"Try it quickly, this porridge has been cooked for two hours!"

Shen Xingran quickly stood up to take it, and said angrily: "Mom! Be careful, don't burn it."

The mother and son leaned against each other, drinking the porridge intimately.

Lu Ran turned his head to look at the restaurant.

Seeing Lu Ran coming, Shen Xingran raised a smile.

He seemed to have thought of something and asked Mrs. Shen: "Mom, didn't you say that you wanted to bring your brother home? Do you want to discuss the schedule?

"Who else do you want to invite? The upper circles in Beijing have to be notified."

Shen Xingran made arrangements naively, "It will appear solemn if Dad writes the invitations himself, right?

Mrs. Shen frowned when she heard his words.

At that time, she really wanted to bring Lu Ran back.

But now, there is no point in bringing him back. She already has a child as sweet as Ranran, and she doesn't lack a son.

Besides, once Lu Ran comes back, she will inevitably have to explain why he got lost. There

will definitely be a lot of people asking her questions, looking at her with a look that Mrs. Shen hates...

"Let's talk about it later." Mrs. Shen took a sip of porridge and evaded.

"Ah? Is that so?"

Shen Xingran turned her head and smiled at Lu Ran in the living room.

Shen Xingran didn't want Lu Ran to return to the Shen family's household registration book and family tree.

But when Mrs. Shen mentioned it before, he didn't react at all.

It's because he knew at that time...

Lu Ran would never come back.

I just don’t know…how Lu Ran felt after getting hope and then seeing it suddenly dashed.
