Living in such a family, Shen Huai'an naturally didn't have much affection for anyone, not even his parents.
He knew all too well that he had been labeled from birth; he was the chosen heir.
Since you've become the heir, you have to give up a lot.
As Shen Huai'an spoke of his past, his expression was so serene. It was as if he were recounting someone else's story, or as if he were telling a true tale. This calm attitude made Lin Wanxing realize that the past must have left an indelible mark on her second brother's heart.
The second brother wasn't inherently cold-hearted; rather, he had seen through the true nature of things.
He was conscious.
"Second brother, the past is the past, don't be sad."
Lin Wanxing felt extremely sorry for Shen Huai'an at this moment. He had never imagined that his second brother had to go through so much. His second brother was fighting against those who were secretly eyeing him all by himself. Just imagining it was terrifying.
It's only because my second brother is so strong that he could be. If it were someone else, they probably would have given up on themselves and never been able to get back on their feet.
Lin Wanxing truly felt sorry for her second brother.
"So Xingxing, don't blame your second brother for lying to you. Your second brother just wanted to survive, just wanted to try to survive under the watchful eyes of the old lady and my eldest brother. I really didn't mean to lie to you."
"As long as I'm still a cripple, they'll lower their guard against me, and that'll give me a chance to bring down Shim Tae-min."
Shen Huai'an was in dire straits back then, and he had no choice but to pretend to be lame.
"I'm sorry, Second Brother. I never knew your situation in the Shen family was so difficult, and I didn't understand your good intentions." Lin Wanxing wiped away her tears and apologized to Shen Huai'an with some self-reproach.
He really wanted to know how his second brother had managed to get through all these years.
"You shouldn't be the one saying sorry, I'm the one who should be saying sorry!" Shen Huai'an knew that Xingxing felt sorry for him. But he really didn't want Xingxing to shed tears for him like this.
I no longer care about those things from the past, let alone the stars.
"Second brother, I really shouldn't blame you. I really didn't know that you would have such a hard time in the Shen family. At first, I thought that Shen Taimin and you just didn't like each other, and I also thought that the old lady was just biased. I didn't expect them to be so vicious."
Lin Wanxing still remembers the first time her second brother brought her into the Shen family's old house. At that time, the whole family was harmonious and caring for each other. Everyone seemed very kind. However, Lin Wanxing could tell that Shen Taimin had malice towards her second brother, but she thought they were just having a bad relationship.
Later he learned that Shen Taimin was so vicious that he would stop at nothing to kill his second brother.
Hearing about those past events now, he realized that Shen Taimin was not only vicious, but utterly devoid of conscience.
He finally got his comeuppance for how he treated his second brother.
