Chapter 405: The young wife knows the truth and tries to comfort her husband
Through the screen, Qin Shaochen could still see clearly that the person coming was Du Lan.
There was a deep doubt in his eyes.
Why did Shen Zhixu ask Du Lan to come over and let him hide behind the screen to eavesdrop?
What exactly is Shen Zhixu up to?
While Qin Shaochen was thinking, Du Lan had already sat down.
His smiling voice rang out: "Zhixu, why did you think of inviting me over for tea?"
Even without seeing Du Lan's expression, Qin Shaochen could feel his happiness just by listening to his voice.
Qin Shaochen felt sour in his heart.
Du Lan must still like Shen Zhixu.
"I asked you out today because I have something to ask you."
Shen Zhixu's voice called back Qin Shaochen's attention.
His heart tightened and his expression became tense.
What does Shen Zhixu want to ask?
Could it be that he noticed the relationship between him and Du Lan?
He subconsciously wanted to speak, but finally held back.
Du Lan said, "Zhi Xu, what do you want to ask?"
Shen Zhixu: "Why did you come to see Qin Shaochen yesterday?"
Du Lan: "Didn't Shaochen tell you?"
"I asked him, but he said nothing."
Shen Zhixu said in a low voice: "I think he is hiding something from me. He gets anxious when I ask too much. I can only come to you."
"He..." Du Lan hesitated to speak.
Shen Zhixu leaned forward, his voice becoming anxious: "What happened to him?"
Qin Shaochen's heart was in his throat, and he really wanted to stop the conversation between the two people outside.
But the sound was stuck in my throat and I couldn't make it out.
He knew very well that Shen Zhixu would find out about the relationship between him and Du Lan sooner or later.
He can't hide it.
It would be better to take this opportunity to let Shen Zhixu know the truth.
He really didn't have the courage to say this in person.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just..." Du Lan seemed very embarrassed, but after a few seconds of silence, he said, "He probably didn't want to tell you. Actually, he and I are brothers."
Shen Zhixu already knew the truth, but still pretended to be surprised: "Are you brothers?"
"He is my half-brother, less than a year older than me."
Du Lan took a sip of tea and said, "I've known about this for a short time. My father told me when he was seriously ill. He said he wanted to see Shaochen and his father one last time."
Du Lan looked across and didn't see much emotion in Shen Zhixu's expression.
He rolled his eyes and said, "My father left a legacy to Shaochen, and I came to him for this matter."
Shen Zhixu: "You haven't seen each other for so many years?"
"I haven't seen him, but whether he has seen me or not, I don't know."
Du Lan obviously had something else to say.
Qin Shaochen couldn't see his expression because of the screen, but he knew that this man must have something else to say.
really,
Du Lan then said, "My father said that Shaochen and Uncle Qin have been in frequent contact with him over the years."
Qin Shaochen's eyes widened slightly.
What nonsense is Du Lan talking about?
Before Du Lan appeared, he had no idea that he and Du Xinyuan were related by blood.
He didn't even know he had two fathers.
Du Lan knew clearly that he had never met Du Xinyuan, so why did he lie to Shen Zhixu?
"Zhi Xu, I heard this from my father. I don't think he would lie to me at a time like this. My father treated Shao Chen very well and left him a large sum of money, enough for him and Uncle Qin to have comfortable food and clothing. This can be considered as my father's compensation to him and Uncle Qin."
Du Lan sighed: "But Shaochen seems still not satisfied. I heard from my father that he wants the company."
Qin Shaochen's eyes widened!
Du Lan is lying!
He wanted to refute loudly, but thinking of Shen Zhixu's explanation, he finally held back.
He tried not to speak, but he couldn't stop breathing heavily.
Shen Zhixu was sitting very close to the screen, and when he heard the slight noise, he immediately said loudly: “Qin Shaochen is not that kind of person, how could he possibly want the company?”
"I also don't think Shaochen is that kind of person, but Dad wouldn't lie to me at a time like this."
Du Lan looked at Shen Zhixu, "Zhixu, I know I shouldn't say these things. But I don't want you to be kept in the dark. How come it's such a coincidence that you met Qin Shaochen after we broke up?"
Shen Zhixu frowned: "What do you want to say?"
"I'm just guessing. Qin Shaochen must have known that we were in a relationship, which is why he showed up in front of you after I left the country. He and I look so much alike, you'd definitely notice him."
"You mean Shaochen approached me on purpose?"
"I think it's too coincidental, so... Zhixu, I didn't mean to sow discord between you. I just don't want you to be deceived all the time."
Du Lan lowered her eyes, looking aggrieved. "My mother and father don't have a good relationship. I know very well how painful it is for two unsuitable people to be together. I have advised my mother to give up this relationship that doesn't belong to her, but my mother said she was not wrong and that she and my father are legally married."
Du Lan didn't say that Qin Shaochen's father was the third party, but the meaning was too clear.
Qin Shaochen was so angry that he was shaking all over.
His hands and feet were tied, but his fists were clenched tightly.
Du Lan's duplicity was beyond his imagination.
"Chenchen rarely talked to me about his family. I only knew that he grew up in a single-parent family."
Shen Zhixu lowered his eyes.
Du Lan couldn't see the guilt in his expression.
Shen Zhixu really regretted it. He should have cared more about Qin Shaochen so that he would know how much suffering Qin Shaochen had been going through during this period.
"Zhi Xu, you are a good person."
Du Lan's expression looked sincere. "Although we're not a couple, I've always considered you a friend. I don't want to see you being kept in the dark. It must be very sad to be schemed against by the person you love."
"Thank you for telling me that."
Shen Zhixu sneered in his heart,
If Du Lan hadn't said it, he wouldn't have known that Du Lan would throw dirty water on his wife.
Shen Zhixu remained calm, “I will ask Qin Shaochen clearly.”
He really wanted to ask his confused little wife,
Will you doubt him again?
Who is the real villain?
"Don't quarrel with Shaochen. Even if he is wrong, he is still my brother."
Du Lan's righteous tone made Qin Shaochen feel both disgusted and angry.
Does this person have any shame?
"I won't blame his father for destroying the relationship between my parents, but the company is my father's life's work. It's too much for him to take it away."
Du Lan was still throwing dirty water on Qin Shaochen.
"Zhixu, go back and persuade Shaochen to give up the company. I can give him all of my father's inheritance, but I really can't leave the company to him. It's not about the money, but I have to be responsible to so many shareholders."
Shen Zhixu: "I will have a good talk with Qin Shaochen. There are many things I must ask clearly. I want to settle everything that happened during this period with him one by one."
Du Lan couldn't hear his hidden meaning and thought that Shen Zhixu must be looking for Qin Shaochen to settle the score after being cheated.
But Qin Shaochen understood.
He thought about the quarrel he had with Shen Zhixu over the past two days and the many hurtful words he had said to him, and he lowered his head guiltily.
If he still doesn't understand that Du Lan is trying to sow discord, then he is a complete fool.
Having achieved his goal, Du Lan did not talk about Qin Shaochen anymore, but deliberately got closer to Shen Zhixu: "Zhixu, there is a yacht cocktail party this weekend, can you accompany me?"
"I don't have time! I have to put an end to what happened between Qin Shaochen and me."
Shen Zhixu was busy "dealing with" his disobedient little wife.
Du Lan thought he was going to divorce Qin Shaochen and felt very proud.
After Shen Zhixu becomes single again, he will have many opportunities to get close to Shen Zhixu.
There is no rush for this moment.
Du Lan and Shen Zhixu chatted briefly and then left.
After he left, Shen Zhixu took out a recorder from his suit pocket.
He recorded everything Du Lan said just now.
Shen Zhixu stood up from the chair, walked over and locked the door of the private room from the inside.
He walked behind the screen with a recorder in his hand and said to Qin Shaochen, who was bowing his head, "Chenchen, do you need to listen to it again?"
"No."
Qin Shaochen whispered, "I heard everything you said just now."
Shen Zhixu squatted down in front of him and untied the tie that was wrapped around his hands and feet.
"Who do you trust now?"
Qin Shaochen raised his eyes, his eyes slightly red: "My father is not the third party who destroys other people's feelings. My father and I have not seen Du Xinyuan in these years. Du Lan is lying. Don't believe a word he says."
Shen Zhixu stared into his eyes: "If you don't want me to believe him, then tell me yourself."
"A few days ago, Du Lan came to me and said I was Du Xinyuan's son and asked me to meet Du Xinyuan. I went to the Du family and after meeting Du Xinyuan, I clearly stated that I did not want his inheritance. Du Lan asked me to sign a waiver. The next day, when I went there, I saw you at the Du family, so I left."
Qin Shaochen recalled what had happened in the past few days and realized that he had fallen into Du Lan's trap a long time ago.
Du Lan deliberately let him see Shen Zhixu, and also deliberately let the assistant say those words.
He was too stupid to believe it without verifying it.
"Shen Zhixu, I'm sorry!"
Shen Zhixu said with a sullen face: "Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I shouldn't have misunderstood you." Qin Shaochen hated his own stupidity and lowered his head in guilt.
"You still haven't realized your mistake."
Shen Zhixu's words made Qin Shaochen raise his head in confusion: "I..."
"Your mistake was that you didn't want to communicate with me. If you had told me what was in your heart earlier, we wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings."
Shen Zhixu stared into Qin Shaochen's eyes and said word by word, "You are willing to believe Du Lan, but you don't want to believe me. We have been together for five years. Don't you know how I treat you?"
"I..." Qin Shaochen's eyes trembled: "I... I know I was wrong!"
He really knew he was wrong, but Shen Zhixu's expression scared him.
He was afraid that Shen Zhixu would not forgive him.
He reached out and took the man's hand: "Do you forgive me?"
Shen Zhixu pursed his thin lips into a line and did not respond to him.
Qin Shaochen was anxious, tears welling up in his eyes: "Chen Zhixu, I really know I was wrong. I have a baby, can you bear to give me up?"
A gleam flashed across Shen Zhixu's eyes.
His goal was achieved.
It seems that his wife will not divorce him!
