Shen Huai'an patted Lin Wanxing on the shoulder and whispered, "Go back upstairs and rest. Leave this to me."
Lin Wanxing hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to stay here anymore. This place made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He had never felt this way before in his life.
Lin Wanxing actually listened to a lot of what the old lady said. He turned around and went upstairs dejectedly.
Seeing that Shen Er had sent Lin Wanxing away, the old lady became even more unhappy. She was still sitting there, and she wondered if Shen Huai'an even respected her.
"Second brother, so many things have happened today, what do you have to say?"
Since the old lady has come, it means she doesn't want to let this matter pass easily.
She liked Xie Xiaodong very much, and no matter what happened, she would blame Lin Wanxing.
“I’ve already apologized to Xiaodong about what happened today. He’s not the kind of person to hold a grudge. He’s already let it go because Xingxing is so young. Xingxing is too fragile to handle any stress. I think it’s best for me to handle this.”
"Grandma, if you don't believe me, ask Xiaodong. Besides, this matter is hard to explain. Wanxing also said that he only touched Xiaodong lightly. Xiaodong could have accidentally knocked over the water glass."
"Let's let this matter go. Don't worry, Grandma. I will teach Xingxing a lesson he won't break the rules."
Since Shen Huai'an had already said all that, the old lady couldn't continue to argue. She took a deep breath; she had come here today with a belly full of anger. Indeed, she couldn't argue with a fool.
"You and Xiaodong have a good relationship, and he is now wholeheartedly assisting you in the group, so you two must not let this small matter cause a rift between you. It's not worth it."
The old lady was afraid that this matter would affect their relationship, and more importantly, she still had some things she was counting on Xie Xiaodong to do.
"Grandma, don't worry. Xiaodong and I have been friends for many years. How could we possibly quarrel over something like this?" Shen Huai'an said earnestly as he walked over with a smile.
The old lady was personally seen off by Shen Huai'an. Only after watching her walk away completely did Shen Huai'an eagerly head upstairs.
Xingxing felt wronged today, and he also felt somewhat helpless.
Lin Wanxing sat on his big bed, hugging his teddy bear and staring blankly out the window. He was trying to reflect. Although the old lady had a sharp tongue, he had to admit that she was right in many ways.
His second brother was so outstanding, it was normal for him to be liked by others, but Lin Wanxing just couldn't stand Xie Xiaodong's disgusting behavior.
Why wasn't his second brother on his side? Lin Wanxing started to have all sorts of wild thoughts. He was really scared, scared that his second brother would think that he was the one who did those things.
From the moment Xie Xiaodong first appeared, he was unusually wary. He would get jealous if he saw his second brother chatting with Xie Xiaodong for even a few minutes. Xie Xiaodong seemed like a villain who had suddenly appeared to steal his second brother away.
Despite his vigilance, he still messed everything up in the end. Lin Wanxing slowly buried his head in the bear's body, trying to recall everything that had happened in the past few months.
The reason he was wary of Xie Xiaodong was simply because of his lack of self-confidence. Whenever Xie Xiaodong got close to his second brother, he couldn't control himself.
He was afraid and insecure because he had meticulously planned this relationship from the very beginning. He had done so much and worked so hard to get to where he was today.
He used every means to finally get into his second brother's heart. He also knew that his second brother pitied him because of his intellectual disability and the things he had done to him, so he had no choice but to take responsibility for him.
He was too wicked. He thought he could make this relationship his own by using those underhanded tricks, but this relationship was all obtained through deception and couldn't withstand the slightest storm.
If Xie Xiaodong alone could cause such a mess, what would he do if someone else appeared even without Xie Xiaodong?
Lin Wanxing placed the teddy bear on his lap, looked at the ring on his ring finger, and gently turned it.
He made many mistakes. He shouldn't have used those methods in the first place, like drugging, seducing, and taking the initiative to show his love. In the end, things turned out like this.
Lin Wanxing felt extremely depressed when he thought about how his second brother rushed over to care for Xie Xiaodong. Later, the old lady's words made him realize that many things were not as wonderful as he had imagined.
Tears fell without his noticing. Lin Wanxing had never been so sad about love before. He was too naive and hadn't thought things through enough.
"Wanxing, are you alright?" Shen Huai'an knocked on the door from the outside and asked Lin Wanxing softly through the door.
Hearing his voice, Lin Wanxing quickly wiped away his tears, sniffed, and then turned around and shouted towards the door, "Second Brother, I'm fine, come in!"
Shen Huai'an pushed open the door and saw Lin Wanxing sitting on the bed, obediently holding a teddy bear.
"Wanxing, don't be too sad. Your second brother will handle things."
Lin Wanxing bit his lip and asked, "Is Xie Xiaodong's hand alright?"
Shen Huai'an smiled and said, "It should be fine, you don't need to worry too much."
"Second brother, do you also believe that I deliberately scalded Xie Xiaodong with hot water?"
Shen Huai'an did not answer the question. Instead, he asked Lin Wanxing, "The old lady did not say anything strange to you, did she?"
Lin Wanxing remained silent for a long time before saying, "Second Brother, I didn't do this to Xie Xiaodong."
Shen Huai'an smiled. He walked to Lin Wanxing's side and gently stroked his hair in a comforting manner, "It's all in the past, Xingxing, don't think about these things anymore."
Lin Wanxing lowered her head and took a deep breath. "Today, the old lady told me that my current status and position are no longer worthy of my second brother. At first, I was very angry. I felt that what she said was wrong, but after thinking about it, I felt that what she said was very right."
"Why would my second brother, with his status, insist on marrying a fool like me? If it weren't for the marriage agreement from back then, my second brother wouldn't have been dragged down by me. I've always known that my second brother pities me, thinks I'm stupid, and thinks no one wants me, which is why he's so good to me."
