Shen Huainan swung the red wine glass in his hand, the shadows of the trees outside the window were swaying, and the street lights beside the path in the yard were twinkling.
"Please come in."
The door creaked. Although it was almost late at night, Aunt Wu was still wearing a crisp suit and black high-heeled shoes, with her hands respectfully placed in front of her, forming a strong contrast with Shen Huainan in pajamas.
Shen Huainan put the red wine glass on the table beside him, "It's cold in the corridor, so let's come in and talk."
After all, it’s not like the thermostat in his room is turned on all year round. It’s late spring, and the marble-paved corridor is so cool at night that it makes people get goosebumps.
Stepping on the soft carpet, Aunt Wu stepped into Shen Huainan's room, turned around and closed the wooden door heavily.
Shen Huainan got straight to the point: "Please speak."
Aunt Wu was stunned at first, and she was also a little surprised. It turned out that Shen Huainan had known her little thoughts a long time ago. Not only did he not expose her, let alone go to her to accuse her, but he waited patiently until she took the initiative to plead guilty.
"I'm sorry, Master Nan..."
Aunt Wu is a bit older than Shen Huainan's mother Kang Shuling. She watched Shen Huainan from infancy to adulthood, and privately followed Kang Shuling to call him "Xiaonan" and "Nannan". Only in formal occasions, outsiders were present. When I arrived, I called him "Little Mr. Shen" and "Young Master".
"You have to know that no matter what I do, it will be for your mother's good. There is no way I will do anything to betray your mother." Aunt Wu suddenly became a little excited.
Shen Huainan had no expression on his face. He just casually sat down on the brown sofa next to him and crossed his legs. He reached out and patted the sofa, motioning for Aunt Wu in front of him to sit down as well.
Aunt Wu was a little hesitant. No matter how unhappy Shen Huainan was before, she would never embarrass others.
Shen Huainan spoke again: "Sit down and talk."
Aunt Wu straightened her skirt before sitting down, "Thank you, Master."
"I can see your loyalty to my mother," Shen Huainan leaned his hand on the armrest of the sofa, looking up with a tired look on his face, "but you don't think that your actions are somewhat lacking in consideration. Already?"
"You were not such an impulsive person before."
Shen Huainan went to the bottom of Qishangyundong's unit today. When he saw Jian Anran, he suddenly calmed down for some reason. At the same time, he realized that he had been used as a gun.
That pile of photos was obviously not a day's work. Kang Shuling must have known about this matter for a long time. According to his mother's vigorous and resolute handling methods, it should have been dealt with by logic. It is impossible to delay it until today, let alone delay it. Destroyed my emotions and body.
Kang Shuling has always presented herself as a strong woman from the inside out. In fact, her heart is as strong as she looks on the outside.
It was a loveless marriage to begin with. She should not, let alone have a mental breakdown because of her husband's cheating, and sit in a chair all day, paralyzed.
Shen Huainan quickly deduced that things were far from as simple as he saw. People like them seemed to have arranged all their posthumous affairs from the moment they were born, including the inheritance rights of the company and various stock equity. It was all decided from the beginning.
An illegitimate child like this was really out of character for him and Kang Shuling.
There must have been a dead end somewhere, so the always cautious Aunt Wu would take this tack, deliberately provoking him to tell him everything.
