Four hundred and ninetieth chapters beauty easy to grow old
"Xuan'er, did you...did you hear something just now?" Xuan'er's look made Shi's mother have an ominous premonition in her heart. If she really heard what she just said, she would be in trouble.
Xuan'er ignored what Shi Mu said and just walked in step by step. Every step was as heavy as shackles. She stopped in front of Shi Sheng and saw Shi Sheng lowered his head and said nothing, and tears fell down.
, dripping on the back of her own hand, it was shockingly hot.
After waiting for a long time, Shi Sheng still didn't speak. Xuan'er couldn't help but said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Seeing Xuan'er crying, Shi Sheng felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of any suitable words to comfort her. Feelings are not just sympathy, so he could only squeeze out a word of apology in the end.
"I don't want to hear I'm sorry!" The grievance and unwillingness in Xuan'er's heart suddenly burst out at this moment, and she asked Shi Sheng loudly with tears falling, "What is it about me that is inferior to that old woman named Ling? You want to despise her like this?"
I?!"
Facing Xuan'er's excitement, Shi Sheng looked surprisingly calm, "There is no comparison, it's just that I like her."
"Impossible!" The calmer he became, the more excited Xuan'er became, shouting almost hysterically: "I like her! I like her! Apart from knowing a few words and having a pretty good face, what else do you like about her?"
She is in her thirties, and she must have been married before, or even given birth to children. How do you like such a woman?! What about me? I am younger than her, younger than her, even... even
It’s easier to have children than her!” Normally, Xuan’er would never say such words, but at this moment, she just wanted to try her best to vent her unwillingness and anger, without caring about what she said.
Shi Sheng saw her repeatedly insulting Ling Ruo in her words, and his expression gradually cooled down. He slowly stood up with his hands on the ground, looked at Xuan'er levelly and said, "Yes, she is not as good as you in many places, but there are also many places where you are not as good as her. I
I like her without any reason."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Shi's mother listened more and more rudely, and she quickly shouted to stop her. But this time Shi Sheng did not listen to her, but said: "Mother, my son is already twenty years old.
If he is no longer a child, doesn’t his son even have the right to like someone?”
"You! You're so angry with me!" Mother Shi was furious when she saw him talking back to her in front of Xuan'er.
"Sister Xuan'er, I know this is because I can't help you. If you want to blame me, blame me. I believe you will meet someone better than me in the future." If you want to live up to your true intentions, then you can only do it.
There is a negative Xuan'er.
Xuan'er stared at him blankly, and suddenly angrily threw the shoe she had been holding tightly in her hand at him.
"Shi Sheng! I hate you! I will never forgive you in this life!" She threw down these words that she shouted with all her strength, turned around and ran out. This place was the greatest shame in her life for her.
I don't want to stay any longer.
"Xuan'er! Xuan'er!" Mother Shi was so anxious that she chased after her. However, she was old and frail and could not catch up with Xuan'er. Instead, she tripped over the threshold and fell.
Seeing this, Shi Sheng ran over to help her, regardless of his own injuries, "Mom, how are you? Does it hurt where you fell?"
"You don't have to worry about it!" Mother Shi pushed Shi Sheng away and said sarcastically: "You have grown up and your wings have become stronger. You can even ignore your parents' opinions on marriage matters. In this case, you still care about my life and death. I
Wouldn't it be more advantageous to take advantage of you if you die? From now on, no one will care about you. You can do whatever you want, and you can marry whomever you want!" She scolded but couldn't help but shed tears. It showed that Shi Sheng was really serious this time.
It broke her heart.
"Mom, why do you say that? It's too late for my son to wish you a long life, so how can you think like this?" Seeing his mother crying, Shi Sheng felt very sad.
"In this case, you go and get Xuan'er back for me." Mother Shi believed that as long as her son was willing to change his story, he would be able to gain Xuan'er's forgiveness.
Shi Sheng did not move, but lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive my son for being unfilial!"
"You! You unfilial son!" Mother Shi was so angry that she slapped Shi Sheng hard, hating him for disobeying her, hating him for ruining this wonderful marriage, and hating him for being obsessed with a woman of unknown origin.
Shi Sheng did not dodge or evade, and allowed Shi Mu to hit him. Several wounds on his body that had just begun to heal were cracked open again.
Ling Ruo stood at the door and watched this scene silently. She was resting in another room and came over to take a look when she heard some noise. She happened to hear the conversation between Shi Sheng and Xuan'er.
She never knew that Shi Sheng actually liked her, and she never knew that for this love, he could go back on the newly arranged marriage despite the pressure from Shi's mother.
Mother Shi raised her head and saw Ling Ruo standing leaning against the door. She was immediately furious. She got up with difficulty and rushed to Ling Ruo. She grabbed her clothes and cursed angrily: "It's all you! It's all you who killed my son."
You are so confused that you are out of your mind. You are a vixen. We should not have rescued you at all in the first place! Come on, get out of here right away!"
Shi Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her away, advising: "Mom, it's none of Miss Ling's business, please don't make trouble unreasonably!"
"I don't care, in short, this woman is the cause of everything, get out! Get out immediately!" Mother Shi had never been so angry as she was today, and she couldn't restrain herself at all.
Ling Ruo did not explain anything to Shi Mu, but said: "Shi Sheng, I want to talk to you alone."
"Okay, you go out first, I'll be back later." Shi Sheng pressed Shi Mu hard. After Ling Ruo went out, he comforted Shi Mu for a long time before letting Shi Mu temporarily calm down. However, he still ordered Shi Sheng to rush Ling Ruo immediately.
If she left, she would never want to see this woman again.
Shi Sheng walked out of the door and saw Ling Ruo standing under the eaves, squinting at the dim light shining into the long alley through the narrow gap. No matter how sunny and dazzling it was outside, the long alley was always dark, just like the people who lived here.
He has been shrouded in the shadow of Jian Ji since he was born, and it is difficult to get rid of him forever.
Shi Sheng walked up uneasily and said: "Miss Ling, don't be angry with my mother, she is just..."
"I know." Ling Ruo looked away and smiled lightly at him: "You and Aunt Shi saved my life. Not to mention Aunt Shi scolding me a few words, even hitting me, I would never dare to do so.
I don’t have any complaints.”
"Shi Sheng." She reached out and took Shi Sheng's hand in his surprised gaze, "How old are you this year?"
Shi Sheng didn't understand what Ling Ruo meant by asking, so he just replied: "Twenty-two years old."
"Twenty-two years old..." Ling Ruo nodded noncommittally, and then looked at Shi Sheng tenderly, "I am thirty-four, a whole round older than you."
When Shi Sheng heard this, he already understood what Ling Ruo meant and said quickly: "I know, but I don't care. Miss Ling, I really like you."
"Do you like me, or do you like my face?" Ling Ruo's words were so sharp that Shi Sheng didn't know how to answer. Everyone loves beauty, and he was indeed attracted by Ling Ruo's appearance at first.
Who wouldn't like such a beautiful woman?
Ling Ruo did not urge him to answer, but put his hand on her face, "Shi Sheng, touch this face, it is no longer young. Although there are no wrinkles now, there will be soon. When you
In my thirties, I am in my prime. I am already fifty years old and have become an old woman. By then, no matter how beautiful the face is, it will be gone. When you face an old woman with chicken skin and gray hair every day, can you guarantee that you will look like her?
Do you like me so much now? No, you will be disgusted, and you will regret it, regretting why you were obsessed with marrying an old woman when you were young!"
"I won't! I swear, I will never do it!" Shi Sheng said excitedly, even stretching out his fingers to prove his heart with an oath.
"It's useless, Shi Sheng. People's hearts will change. Until that moment, you can never guarantee what will happen to you." Speaking of this, Ling Ruo's voice was a little deformed. She thought of Yinzhen and the man who once said that he would live forever.
The unsuspecting man is him, who has driven himself to a dead end.
It is said that love fades when lust fades, but before her lust fades, her kindness has already vanished.
