Opening the car door, Xia Tong handed a cup of milk tea to Shen Yun in the driver's seat: "Drink something, your face looks very bad."
Shen Yin wanted to reach out to take the milk tea, but her hands were shaking uncontrollably. This woman had always appeared in front of her with a distant and arrogant image. She had never seen her look so embarrassed.
"Thank you——." Finally, she held it and took a sip hastily. Not only did the tension on her face not ease, but it became even more tense.
Xia Tong sat on the passenger seat and looked at the window in front of him without saying anything.
"Xia Tong..." she suddenly called her, with a slight hesitation: "Just now - what did you hear?"
"What do you hope I hear?" Xia Tong asked, "Or, Miss Shen, what do you hope I don't hear?"
Shen Yin stared at her with wide eyes, his beautiful water eyes filled with a frightening scarlet color.
After a long while, she choked and said: "Xia Tong, I beg you not to say anything you heard today, not even a word. Can you just treat it as a good deed and accumulate some virtue? Otherwise, everything will be lost for me... ...." Shen Yuan's usually delicate face now looked pale and almost despairing.
Xia Tong looked at her and sighed: "If you are willing to believe me, tell me the whole story, otherwise I really can't make a decision. I'm afraid that if I agree to you now, it will ruin the lives of others. Life……."
She held Shen Yin's trembling hand, and there was a power called stability in her eyes. Gradually, Shen Yin's mood stabilized, and then he slowly said: "Tang Zhenbang is my godfather in name, but in fact, But I am his lover, and I have been with him for thirteen years from the age of sixteen to now."
"Does your mother know about this?"
He pondered and shook his head: "How dare I let her know? My mother lived a very hard life. When she was young, she fell in love with a superficial painter. After she got pregnant, she was ruthlessly abandoned. She worked hard alone. After raising me up, I finally met Tang Zhenbang when I was fourteen years old. I thought that all my hardships would finally be over, but I didn’t expect that man’s deliberate efforts to get close to her were actually because of me.”
Thinking of the girl nestling in Tang Zhenbang's arms just outside the shopping mall, she looked under eighteen years old. Xia Tong couldn't help but be stunned: "I didn't expect that there would be men with Lolita complexes in reality."
Chen Yin smiled disdainfully: "Tang Zhenbang is not the only man who has a Lolita complex? Men in this world are all cheap. I like girls at the age of twenty, I still like girls at the age of forty, and I am still a girl at the age of sixty... Haha...it's so ridiculous, do they think women will never grow old?"
Xia Tong couldn't help but retort: "There are still men who are different. After all, Tang Zhenbang is just an example..."
"Do you know why Mu Jie has been at odds with his father all these years?" she asked without answering.
Xia Tong shook his head blankly.
He groaned and laughed: "That's because Qin Hansheng met a girl when Mu Jue was six years old, and then fell madly in love with her. He was so obsessed that he didn't even care about his wife, Mrs. Darcy, being sick. In the end, he gave birth to a child with the girl. , that is, Mu Jie’s younger brother——.”
Xia Tong opened her mouth in surprise. She had always known that Qin Muzhen had a younger brother named Qin Muxuan. He had been a naughty boy since he was a child, and was later sent to England by Qin Muzhen. But she had never thought that the two of them were actually the same. Half-brothers."
"What happened next?" she asked.
"Because of her husband's change of heart, Mrs. Darcy was so disheartened that she neither saw a doctor nor took medicine, and finally died of illness. Unfortunately, even after she died, her husband was not by her side. Because of this incident, Mu Xie There has been a deep rift with his father since childhood, and the relationship between brothers is not good..."
Xia Tong clenched her hands. No wonder she only saw Qin Hansheng every time she went to Qin's house, but not Mrs. Qin. And Qin Mujie always said nothing about his mother, looking dim and unclear. It turned out that So many things had happened, but she didn't know any of them.
"And I am also greedy." Shen Yin whispered: "When Tang Zhenbang violated me for the first time, I was only sixteen years old. At the age of a flower, I was dreaming of many unrealistic dreams. That night I resisted desperately and didn’t want to give in. But he promised in my ear that as long as I was willing to spend one night with him, he would spend money to make me a queen. He really knew what women needed. I was very greedy at that time. I want to enter the entertainment industry, I want to be famous, I want to become strong, I want to have enough power to protect my poor mother..."
She buried her face in the crook of her legs, and there were faint stains of tears falling on the ground: "So I was like a man possessed, letting him control me. Who knew that one step of weakness would lead to the entire defeat... ….”
Xia Tong looked at the crying woman in front of her, and suddenly didn't know what to say. She was also an illegitimate daughter, so she could understand Shen Yin's decisive thoughts. She just wanted to work hard to climb up, even if she sacrificed everything. , just to make myself stronger so that I can have enough power to protect the people around me.
It's just that she was so desperate that she almost sacrificed her own soul.
Xia Tong lowered his head and looked at her belly: "Is this child really Tang Zhenbang's?"
After a pause, he nodded helplessly: "Yes."
"Then what are you going to do?" Xia Tong asked, "Have you ever thought that it would be unfair for you to marry Mu Zhi while pregnant with someone else's child?"
Shen Yin shook her head: "I originally just wanted to use this child to marry him and then abort it. I don't want to be sorry for him by giving birth to my and his child!"
"I don't want to be sorry for Mu Jie, but you can't be sorry for the child in your belly?" Xia Tong's tone became colder: "Have you ever thought about it, when the child in your belly knows that he is just a tool for you to get married? , how chilling would he be? Don’t you have any maternal instinct for him?”
Shen Yin looked at her with tears on his face, a little confused: "Reluctant to leave?"
Xia Tong shook off her hand, feeling depressed and angry, although she didn't understand where this angry feeling came from.
She remembered that a few years ago, she had also been discouraged by the child in her belly, and had the idea of aborting it and starting a new life. It was only when she actually lay on the operating table in the hospital that she understood what it meant. Mother and child are connected, what is heartache?
So in the end she deserted and chose to give birth to Guaiguai.
Xia Tong lowered his eyes and shook off her hand: "Forget it, I know how serious the impact of this matter is. I will consider it carefully and won't talk nonsense. You - you can take care of it yourself -."
