Chen Xueping didn't take it seriously. She glanced at Lin Wanxing with disdain, then curled her red lips into a sarcastic smile and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. My memory isn't very good, and I completely forgot that Mr. Chen has a problem with his leg."
"Wanxing, I'm so sorry, it was just a slip of the tongue. You'll forgive your sister, right?"
Chen Xueping frowned, looking ashamed and remorseful. She always liked to feign apology after deliberately doing something wrong, seeking forgiveness from others, as if not forgiving her mistakes meant she was petty and not generous enough.
Lin Wanxing stared intently at Chen Xueping's face. He understood that expression all too well; since childhood, Chen Xueping had always liked to use this method to make everyone pity her.
She was the one who did something wrong, but in the end she acted pitifully innocent, as if someone else was at fault.
Chen Xueping is truly wicked. Everyone in Jiangcheng knows about Second Brother's leg problem; she remembers it most clearly. How could she possibly forget? She deliberately wants to embarrass Second Brother.
Lin Wanxing stared at her with wide eyes. This kind of person was simply hopeless.
Shen Huai'an said gently, "Xingxing, I'm fine."
"Second brother is fine, Xingxing, don't worry too much. I think Miss Chen didn't do it on purpose. She's not that kind of person."
Chen Xueping smiled smugly. Shen Huai'an, that cripple, was easy to bully. He was a perfect match for a stray dog and a fool.
Chen Xueping smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, I really didn't mean it. Those words were just a joke. How could I dare to be disrespectful to you?"
Lin Wanxing gritted his teeth, feeling uncomfortable looking at Chen Xueping's hypocritical act. His second brother was too easy to talk to; he had too good a temper and was always so magnanimous in forgiving those bad people.
It's precisely because Second Brother has a good nature that bad guys like Chen Xueping always try to bully him.
Lin Wanxing could only turn around helplessly and return the cane to Shen Huai'an. "Second brother, are you really alright?"
Shen Huai'an smiled, his eyes crinkling. He stood up with the help of Lin Wanxing, leaning on his cane. He said with a smile, "It's okay, let's go. Haven't you been looking forward to eating hot pot?"
"Let's hurry up, or there won't be any seats left at that shop."
Lin Wanxing looked at his leg and, still somewhat worried, asked, "Do we need to go to the hospital?"
Shen Huai'an's smile deepened; he liked the feeling of being worried about.
"No need to go, I'm fine."
Shen Er was never a true strongman; he also needed care, and Xingxing just happened to provide him with that missing care.
"Ms. Chen, I hope that when we meet again, it will be in a different way."
Shen Huai'an pushed up his glasses, and the smile on his face suddenly seemed to crack open in an instant, a terrifying smile, and his slightly cold eyes were like a sticky venomous snake.
Chen Xueping instinctively took a step back. When she looked again, Shen Huai'an's smile remained unchanged, still that warm smile, and his refined demeanor was completely the same, as if the smile she had just seen was a hallucination.
Lin Wanxing helped Shen Er slowly walk out of the store.
The two of them did go to that hot pot restaurant. During the meal, Lin Wanxing put slices of meat into the pot and said, "Chen Xueping is so annoying. Luckily, Second Brother, you're alright."
The bubbling red oil in the pot was steaming, and the air was filled with a rich aroma.
Lin Wanxing was sweating profusely from eating all the spicy food.
Shen Huai'an watched Xingxing stick out her tongue from the spiciness, his eyes narrowing slightly. Her tongue was red from the spiciness, and her soft tongue tip unconsciously licked the oil stains on her lips, making her soft lips appear fuller. How could someone be so cute and alluring?
Shen Huai'an casually looked away and offered Chen Xueping some words of comfort:
"She probably didn't mean it, and she has already sincerely apologized to me, so I don't think it's necessary to hold it against her."
Hearing his second brother still speaking up for Chen Xueping, Lin Wanxing became a little unhappy. He wiped his mouth and said very solemnly, "Second brother, you're just too kind. She's deliberately targeting you."
Have you ever heard the saying?
Shen Huai'an poured Lin Wanxing a glass of orange juice and asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Lin Wanxing thought hard for a few seconds, but he couldn't quite remember what the original words were. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally said, "It means that good people are taken advantage of."
"That's what they say, so Second Brother, you can't be too kind, or you'll get cheated or bullied."
Shen Huai'an immediately understood what Xingxing meant. He said, "It should be that kind people are bullied and good horses are ridden."
Lin Wanxing nodded and said, "Second brother, you don't understand at all. Being too kind can actually hurt you."
Lin Wanxing solemnly recounted the comments he had seen on his phone to Shen Huai'an, earnestly explaining the reasons to him and advising him not to be too kind.
Shen Huai'an sat opposite him, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips as he listened intently to Xingxing's words.
He felt that what Xingxing said made a lot of sense, but it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
But Shen Huai'an listened patiently. He listened very carefully to what Xingxing said, and then deliberately nodded to show that he suddenly understood, and agreed, "Xingxing is right, so right."
"I also think that I am sometimes too easy to talk to, but I just can't change it. It's just my nature."
Lin Wanxing had been talking for so long just to tell her second brother to be more discerning in the future. She said that people like Chen Xueping, who seemed pitiful on the surface, were actually the worst behind the scenes. Her second brother sometimes couldn't see the people around him clearly, and that's how he got deceived.
Lin Wanxing sighed helplessly as he looked at his second brother, who was constantly cooking vegetables for him.
My second brother is just this kind of person by nature. I like him because he's good in this way, so how can I try to make him change?
"Second brother, you should eat more too, this sausage is delicious."
Chen Xueping is nothing but a clown. If he doesn't cooperate with her performance, she will be discouraged. He likes it most when someone performs in front of him.
Chen Xueping, she really has some nerve.
The two ate until dark. They ate very slowly. Shen Huai'an ate less, mainly eating while looking at the stars and taking care of them.
"Let's come here again next time. I think this hot pot is pretty good."
Lin Wanxing was a little full, so he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his bulging belly with his hand.
His stomach was so full; he hadn't eaten his favorite food in a long time, so he couldn't stop eating.
Shen Huai'an glanced at Xingxing's adorable face and couldn't help but laugh, "Greedy Xingxing."
Lin Wanxing glanced at the time; it was already very late. They had been really happy today, except for meeting Chen Xueping.
Lin Wanxing recalled that face and the scene where his second brother almost fell and got hurt, and he couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, his second brother was not hurt.
