Chapter 87
There was a traffic jam on the road, and it was already late at night when we returned to Chenyuan.
The housekeeper was leading people to carefully carry a painting upstairs.
Shen Zhuoyu called out, “Uncle Lin, is this the painting that Big Brother bought at the auction?”
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Yes, Second Young Master. The eldest young master said the basement was damp, so he asked us to put it in the study on the third floor."
Chen Zhuoyu had a strange expression on his face, and said with a half-smile, "Brother, do you like the girl in this painting? I thought he had been emotionally deprived since childhood and didn't understand love."
Before he could finish his words, he heard footsteps behind him.
"It's just a painting. I took the picture because I saw you liked it." Shen Jinghan's indifferent and emotionless voice came from behind.
Lin Ran's body stiffened, and she stepped back without saying a word, letting him go in first.
She lowered her head, feeling the man's cold gaze on her. He paused for three seconds before retracting his gaze and entering the side hall.
"So, big brother doesn't like this painting." Shen Zhuoyu smiled, "That's really a pity."
Shen Jinghan walked upstairs expressionlessly. As he passed by him, he said coldly, "You are exactly the same hypocritical as Shen Zhongqi. Also, don't take Lin Ran to places like auctions in the future. Don't you think there are enough rumors?"
Lin Ran trembled.
The smile on Shen Zhuoyu's face gradually disappeared. The two brothers looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
"I'm going." Lin Ran raised her head, her voice trembling slightly. She looked at the noble and stern man, clenched her fingers and said, "If I hadn't seen the world, how would I have known that Big Brother could bid 200 million for a painting he didn't like, or casually give away 500 million worth of jewelry to please a beautiful woman."
Her eyes were moist, and she smiled slightly, "Only after I went there did I realize that your surname is Chen and mine is Lin. Even if we have lived together for eight years, we are still people from two different worlds and can never become a family.
So why bother hypocritically maintaining superficial harmony?
Since Big Brother hates us, he should have kicked us all out. Oh, we were the ones you kicked out seven years ago, and we shamelessly ran back again."
She smiled and spoke slowly, "Then keep going. Why bother pretending? It's disgusting."
She couldn't bear to smile, and her fingertips pierced her palm, but she didn't feel the slightest pain. Why did he have to act so hypocritically, spending a fortune on jewelry in front of others, hugging her left and right, just to humiliate her, to make her retreat, to let her see clearly how humble and pitiful she was.
She really didn't know her place before, so all the suffering she endured over the years was what she deserved.
Lin Ran kicked off her shoes, knocked over the half-person-high vase next to her, and returned to her room with an expressionless face.
The side hall was completely silent. Shen Jinghan's aloof face was pale, and his eyes were slightly drooped, hiding all his emotions.
Shen Zhuoyu was so frightened that her mouth could fit a duck egg.
The housekeeper and others held their breath, wishing they could disappear into thin air.
Who would have thought that the usually submissive Fifth Miss would actually dare to challenge the Eldest Young Master to his face, calling him a hypocrite and disgusting!
Even Shen Zhongqi didn't dare to curse him like that to his face!
The most shocking thing was that the arrogant young master didn't even get angry!
"Is this the first time she's lost her temper?" Shen Zhuoyu's jaw dropped in shock, and he laughed, "When she scolds people, it's quite exciting."
She actually dared to scold Shen Jinghan in front of so many people, calling him disgusting!
What courage!
He couldn't help but applaud.
Shen Jinghan's handsome face was gloomy, and his whole body was filled with endless coldness. He said word by word: "I guess he is crazy."
Shen Zhuoyu put his hands in his pockets and nodded: "She is indeed crazy. I am not as crazy as her."
Shen Zhuoyu went downstairs and knocked on her door: "Ranran, are you okay?"

Lin Ran returned to the room, her whole body shaking. Her emotions collapsed in an instant, and she didn't know what was breaking her defenses.
She knelt on the ground and took off the evening dress that did not belong to her with trembling hands.
