At this moment, Xie Xiaodong suddenly realized everything. It wasn't that they had set a trap for Shen Huai'an; on the contrary, Shen Huai'an had used a counter-strategy to deceive them.
Xie Xiaodong coughed up blood, the heavy rain lashed his cheeks, and the cold wind howled, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
He was pretending so well, and Shen Huai'an trusted him so much, so when exactly did he expose himself?
After so many years of friendship, why did he doubt himself?
Shen Huai'an looked at him coldly. He was like a bug crawling in the mud, powerless to struggle but unable to escape, and could only accept his fate.
Listening to the sound of rain falling, Shen Huai'an took out a handkerchief from his suit jacket. He elegantly flicked the folded handkerchief open, and his once gentle and sunny eyes were completely gone. In their place were a pair of sinister eyes hidden in the darkness. His sinister smile sent chills down one's spine.
Looking at his current state, Xie Xiaodong fell into deep self-doubt.
Is this really the Shen Er I know, or is the gentle and warm Shen Er I've always seen actually a disguise?
Xie Xiaodong was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that all those previous personas were carefully crafted by Shen Er.
If that's the case, then Shen Huai'an is truly terrifying.
Everyone who meets Shen Er says he is an elegant and refined gentleman. Xie Xiaodong watched him walk over without relying on a cane, standing up straight and walking normally. Wasn't his leg lame?
Didn't they say his leg was completely crippled? Shen Taimin said Shen Huai'an needs to rely on crutches to walk at all times. What's going on?
The car's high beams flashed intermittently, casting a flickering light on Shen Huai'an's tall figure as he approached with a smile on his lips.
"Xiao Dong, don't look at me like that, it makes me sad."
Shen Huai'an slowly squatted down beside him. "I'm sorry, the brakes were broken, that's why I accidentally bumped into you. I don't know which bastard tampered with my car."
"We'll catch that bastard and make sure he doesn't get away with it."
Shen Huai'an half-squatted down and looked at him with heartache in his eyes. He took a handkerchief and gently wiped the rain and blood from his face. "Look at you, you're such a mess. It makes me feel bad too."
"Let me wipe the dirt off your face properly." Shen Huai'an smiled and gently wiped his face.
The next second his expression changed, and suddenly a hand grabbed Xie Xiaodong's hair tightly. Xie Xiaodong was forced to tilt his head back, his face contorted in pain, and his scalp and hair looked like they were about to be ripped off.
"Huai'an, don't be like this. We're best friends. There must be some misunderstanding. I'll explain it all. Trust me." Xie Xiaodong kept shouting, his mouth wide open.
He still dared to mention the word "friend" repeatedly. Shen Huai'an had given him many chances. In the beginning, he left Jiangcheng because he didn't want to offend the Shen family because of himself. At that time, he had just gotten into trouble and lost his parents. He was isolated and helpless in the Shen family. It was at that time that Xie Xiaodong left.
Xie Xiaodong received all the connections and preferential treatment because he was Shen Er's friend. However, after Shen Er got into trouble, the Shen family members also began to change their attitude. Xie Xiaodong realized that he could not get any benefits from being by Shen Huai'an's side. He was afraid of offending Shen Taimin and the old lady, and he did not want to be dragged down by Shen Huai'an, so he chose to leave.
Shen Huai'an wouldn't blame him for this. They were originally going to live their lives peacefully and never cross paths again, but this guy just had to come back and make things even more disgusting, so Shen Huai'an didn't want to let him off so easily.
From the moment he appeared, Shen Huai'an had already become suspicious of him. How could he suddenly appear in the Shen family after leaving Jiangcheng for so many years?
As a friend, I originally wanted to give him some face, but he became increasingly ungrateful, so I can't blame Shen Huai'an for being heartless.
Shen Huai'an remained unmoved by his explanation. Xie Xiaodong never told the truth; he was the type to say whatever came to mind, his mouth full of flattery. He could fool the old lady and everyone else, but he could never fool Shen Huai'an.
"Do you know what it means to show off your skills before an expert?" Shen Huai'an shoved the handkerchief into Xie Xiaodong's mouth. He didn't want to hear Xie Xiaodong say another word.
"Pretending to be a good person in front of me is too boring. In the whole Jiangcheng, who doesn't say that I, Shen Er, am a true gentleman and an elegant gentleman? I have been a good child in my parents' eyes since I was a child. I am the pride of the Shen family and the most suitable heir in my grandfather's heart."
"But am I really such a perfect person?"
"It's a pity that the real Shen Er is selfish and irritable. You don't act like a decent person at all. You're so awkward that I don't know what to say about you. You should learn how to hide your emotions or put away your cleverness."
Xie Xiaodong was indeed showing off his limited skills before an expert; when it comes to pretending and acting, who can compare to Shen Er?
He could maintain his good-natured facade for ten years straight, until everyone praised him for his gentle and unhurried nature, and even the old lady found it difficult to find fault with him.
His lover admires gentlemen, so he himself is a gentleman.
The only person who knew he was a complete hypocrite was Shim Tae-min.
From childhood to adulthood, Shim Taemin has stumbled countless times over him.
"Forgive me, Xiao Dong!" After finally getting his forgiveness, Shen Huai'an casually took off his wristwatch, put it on his fist, slowly clenched his fist, and punched Xie Xiao Dong hard in the mouth.
