Chapter 201
He took Shi Ning to find a less crowded area.
"Eat."
Shi Chen handed her the chopsticks.
The two just moved their chopsticks when a man sat down next to Shi Ning and another man sat down to next her brother.
There was also one behind him, with his hand clapped on Shi Chen's shoulder he teasingly said.
"Tch, yesterday for love you brought to many drinks and drawn yourself looking too wimpy, and right now you are seating with a lady being so lovey-dovey, we would like to see how heavenly beautiful this fairy being worthy of you being like tha—"
He looked up at Shi Ning sitting across from him as he spoke and was suddenly speechless.
"Fuck, it's really a fairy."
Being stared straight at by the other side like this, Shi Ning was a little uncomfortable and silently lowered her head to eat.
Shi Chen broke the hand of the person behind him and backhandedly twisted its hand making the boy wail.
"Ahhhhhh it hurts! Old four be a compassionate person! I just glance once at your little girlfriend, what's there to fuss!"
Shi Chen: "Look again and I'll gouge out your eyes. Good timing since we just recently studied anatomy, I'll take yours' for practice."
The chilling sound of Shi Chen's voice made the boy tremble.
"I'm wrong I'm wrong, I won't look! Not looking! Not even a glance!"
Only then did Shi Chen let go of his hand.
The boy rubbed his sore wrist and looked at Shi Chen as he complained in a small voice.
"It's not all settled, why are you still so grumpy."
Shi Chen: "Makeup your mother, she's my sister. We don't ever makeup because we'll be together for a lifetime."
After Shi Chen's words just fell.
All three boys looked at Shi Ning.
"Fuck, you have such a beautiful sister but you never told us!"
Shi Chen sneered inwardly.
Why would I talk about my baby sister, you are all just three stinky men.
"Hello sister, my name is Du Yu. I'm the oldest in our dormitory room."
"I'm the second, Zhou Wang."
"The third, Zhang Ziqi."
The three introduced themselves one by one.
Shi Ning quickly remembered their names and faces then introduced herself to them.
"Hello, I'm Shi Ning."
"Hello hello, Shi Chen's sister is our sister. When you visit Beijing again to play, you can always find us!" The eldest said.
"Yeah, yeah, we're all very nice, don't be afraid!"
"You're so adorable, not at all like your stinky, hard-to-please brother!"
As medical students, there were fewer girls in the class and for them, they all looked already very beautiful but seeing Shi Chen's sister—at that moment when they saw such a lovely and beautiful girl, three old fellow trees were all in blossom.
However, if they dare to blossom, some people will dare to pull them out completely.
"If you make any more noise, believe it or not, I'll throw you out of here."
Under his death gaze, the three chose to shut up and look up at the sky as they touch their nose and put their other hand on their pockets to hide their embarrassment.
On the other hand, they couldn't believe what they were seeing right now!
Why don't they believe it? They understood Shi Chen's skill long ago during military training.
If he hadn't entered their college as the top student in science, they would have suspected that Shi Chen had been a boss who came out to get mixed up some years earlier. The kind that doesn't do shit and specializes in fighting.
After finishing the meal Shi Chen asked Shi Ning.
"Do you want to stay here for two more days, or go home?"
Shi Ning tugged on his brother's sleeve.
"Play for two days."
Although he acted indifferently, Shi Ning could see that his brother was still in pain.
She wanted to spend more time with him.
"You didn't bring anything with you this time, did you? If you want to play for two more days what will you wear?"
Shi Chen asked.
Shi Ning: "I have money, I can buy it."
She had no use of the cards her parents gave her before, and now they finally came in handy.
Shi Chen: "What about your homework? I haven't see you brought your workbook. Won't you feel bad if you don't study all day?"
He knows better than anyone how hardworking this sister of his was.
"After playing these two days I will go back to study properly." Shi Ning said.
Shi Chen: "Where will you stay for these two days, you know it is impossible to live with me in the boys' dormitory, right?"
Shi Ning knew he was teasing her again and glared at him.
"I have money, I'll staying in a hotel."
Shi Chen: "Gee, rich and willful."
Chapter 202
The roommate behind him came over and interjected again.
"It's not impossible if you really want to stay for a few days in the men's dormitory! I can squeeze in a bed with old three, and I'll give my bed to little sister!"
Shi Chen did not even say anything and kicked him directly in the knee.
"You dream on."
"Come on, brother will take you shopping."
Shi Chen said to Shi Ning.
"Even if you have money, let me pay for you."
Shi Ning then seemed to remember something and said.
"Brother, if I can't stay in your dormitory for a few days can I go and have a look?"
As a girl, she has always been curious about the male dormitory.
Joking aside, when he heard that Shi Ning wanted to go to the men's dormitory, Shi Chen immediately vetoed.
"No way. Why are you going there?"
Shi Ning: "I just want to see."
"There's nothing to see."
Shi Chen always felt that it was not good to let his sister go to this kind of place where men pile up.
Shi Chen's roommate Zhang Ziqi sighed and said.
"Sister ah, we your newfound brothers also want to take you in to play, but your brother and with his stinking temper won't listen to others but has no problem letting others listen to him. You'd better forget it."
"I want to see where you live, brother, ah, I'll just play a little, play a little and then come out."
Shi Ning softened her voice, and her tone had a hint of pleading and pampering.
Then, with a faintly invisible arc, Shi Chen nodded.
Seeing this interaction, the roommate trio was dumbfounded.
F̲u̲c̲k̲, we thought you were so principled!
If your little sister act coquettishly, do you easily agree?
Shi Ning followed them into the men's dormitory.
There was a very odd rule about college dorms.
Boys were not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory, but girls could enter the boys' dormitory.
Arriving at the boys' dormitory, Shi Chen's prediction was as what he had expected. As soon as his sister entered the men's dormitory, all the boys around looked at her like wolves.
If Shi Chen wasn't known for his attitude, several boys would have come up to ask Shi Ning's WeChat.
Opening the dormitory room, Shi Ning saw the place where Shi Chen and the others usually lived.
"You guys are so clean here, I thought the men's dorm was all messy?"
Three people bitterly commented: you think we want to be so clean! If it isn't because of your brother!
After Shi Ning walked in, she looked around and recognized Shi Chen's bed right away.
His brother's place was always immaculately neat and clean.
At this time, Shi Ning saw a cat.
It has a snow-white whole body, slightly long hair, a pair of blue eyes, and a face that looked so cute and lovely.
"It's so cute!"
Shi Ning took the cat into her arms and carried it over to show Shi Chen.
"Brother, look at it, it's so cute."
Shi Chen slightly curved his lips.
"It's Huahua."
Shi Ning suddenly remembered and said.
"The one you said that looks like me?"
"Yes."
After that, Shi Chen also touched Huahua's chin with his hand. The cat spits out its pink tongue and licked his hand.
Shi Ning hugged the cat and looked at him.
She then lifted Huahua up and held it in her arms, plastering each other's face.
"Does it really look like me?"
A beautiful girl and a cat with two innocent faces.
Shi Chen laughed outright.
"Well really alike."
They were all equally lovely and likable.
Shi Ning brushed the cat's hair, gently touched its nose with her fingers, and said word for word to Huahua.
"Okay, look at how pretty you are, just like me."
The three men in the room, after seeing this scene all fall to the ground spitting blood.
And roared out internally.
Awwwwwwww, that's so cute!
Mom why don't you give me a sister!
Chapter 203
Shi Ning's family didn't know about her visit to Beijing and took a leave of absence from school by herself. And since the school didn't notify her parents, they thought Shi Ning was going on the autumn trip.
In the past two days while Shi Ning was with her brother she saw Shi Chen's phone occasionally ring, calls he get from his family.
Shi Chen only pretends he didn't hear nor see it every time and let the phone ring until it stop.
And during this time, whenever the Shi family couldn't get through Shi Chen, they would call Shi Ning.
Shi Ning took advantage of her brother's absence to secretly answer the phone and tell them that she was with him to reassure them.
"Your brother looks cold. In fact, he is very sentimental. I know his mother's weight in his heart, so I don't want to break Cao Shu's image, but I didn't expect the child to check it himself. Now that he knows the truth, he can't accept it. Just stay there with him. He will listen to you."
On the phone, her father said to her earnestly.
"Okay."
Shi Ning answered and said again.
"Dad, don't worry about brother. He will come out."
Two days passed, and it was time for Shi Ning to go back to school.
At dinner that day, Shi Chen looked at the ticket on his phone.
"You're supposed to be in class tomorrow, right? I'll book a flight for you in the afternoon and take you to the airport after dinner."
When Shi Ning heard this, she immediately shook her head in a hurry.
"In fact, our autumn outing has five days. I think I can stay here for two more days."
Shi Chen knows that this sister of his was worried about him and want to stay by his side for a little longer. He was touched, but his mouth says different things and reproached her.
"You think brother did not go to high school? Yangchuan annual autumn trip is three days, it never happened to be five days."
Shi Ning pouted as she hung her head down, stirring the food in the bowl with her chopsticks feeling a little depressed.
After dinner, Shi Chen said she had to go back to the dormitory first, and then take her home.
Shi Ning also followed him to the dormitory.
Several boys in the dormitory were very happy to see Shi Ning, and each one showed special enthusiasm.
"Wow, sister, you're here again."
"How did you enjoy the past two days in Beijing? In fact, besides the famous scenic spots, we also have some fun places here. If your brother let us play with you, I would have taken you there!"
Shi Chen's desire to protect his sister was great. They wanted to take his sister out to play, but all of them were rejected by someone.
Shi Ning smiled.
"Thank you guys, but I'm leaving today."
"Ah, so soon? Then when will you come back later?"
Such a lovely girl, the thought of not seeing her they couldn't help feeling melancholy.
Shi Chen couldn't bear it hearing these clowns jumping around his sister and picked up a few pens to threw at them.
"You guys, will you give me a break."
The roommates touched their heads that the pens had smashed into and whispered to Shi Ning.
"Sister, it's hard to fall in love with such a brother?"
They were regarded as a thorn in the eyes by Shi Chen to this extent, what more for those boys who were chasing her. Wouldn't Shi Chen annihilate all of them?
Shi Ning didn't care and said.
"It's better to have my brother. No one will dare to chase me, so it's peaceful."
"….."
"…."
"…."
Can anyone enter this family?
These two siblings are both divine faces and divine minds.
Pure heart and few desires and have no yearning for love.
Shi Chen on the other hand finally packed up his things, he pulled the suitcase and walked in front of Shi Ning, his tall figure obstructed the sight of her and the three giant wolves in the dormitory.
"Let's go."
Shi Ning looked at the suitcase his brother was carrying.
"Brother, it's me going back and not you going back, but why …"
Her widened eyes look at Shi Chen in surprise.
"Are you going back with me, too?"
"I have to send you back safely to feel assured." Shi Chen said.
"And, I should also go back."
Hearing this, Shi Chen's roommates came up to him and said.
"We still have classes tomorrow! Aren't you going to class again?"
Shi Chen: "No, help me answer for the roll call."
"No we can't, because you're looks are so outstanding, even the teacher of the general class can remember you. The last time I helped you to answer in the elective class, the female teacher asked me directly—"
Then Zhang Ziqi began to imitate the voice of the female teacher.
"You're Shi Chen? Did you go for plastic surgery? How come you're still getting uglier and uglier?"
The class burst out in laughter.
At that time, Zhang Ziqi wanted to find a hole to drill in and scolded Shi Chen eight thousand times in his heart.
Shi Chen glanced at him with indifferent eyes and nodded with approval.
"Ah yes, it's too much of a stretch to ask you to impersonate me."
Zhang Ziqi: "?"
What the brother you can't be too much!
After arriving at the airport, Shi Ning sent a message to her parents and told them that she and her brother would be back today.
After getting off the plane, Shi Ning received a call from his father and asked if they had arrived.
Shi Ning said into the phone.
"Brother and I just got off the plane and are on our way home."
Shi Pingzhan: "I'll wait for you at the exit."
After hanging up, Shi Ning said to Shi Chen.
"Dad has come to pick us up."
"En."
Shi Chen responded without saying anything more.
The two went out and saw Shi Pingzhan's car parked outside.
Shi Ning sat in the back and deliberately left the co-pilot to his brother.
Who knew that Shi Chen also followed her on the back to behind.
After getting on the car, Shi Pingzhan glanced at Shi Chen.
"Back?"
"En."
"Have you eaten?"
"No."
"Ningning's mother cooked dinner and go home to eat."
This was a brief conversation between father and son.
Chapter 204
When they were silent, Shi Ning looked at her brother and then at her father she then said.
"Dad, why are you here today, where is the driver, Uncle Zhang?"
Shi Pingzhan smiled at her at his daughter.
"Uncle Zhang is at home, I didn't ask him to come. Dad wanted to pick you guys up today, so I drove myself over."
"Oh~" Shi Ning nodded and inclined her head to look at her brother.
Shi Chen just lowered his head and did not say anything.
After arriving home, Lin Xuemuo personally came over to open the door for them, she gave them a pair of slippers placed in front of them and softly said.
"Your back, come and wash your hands to eat!"
Seeing Shi Chen's luggage in his hand she wanted to help him carry it in and ask someone to put it back in his room.
But when she stretched out her hand on the trunk bar, Shi Chen looked at her. Lin Xuemo thought that he might not like her touching his things, and was about to take back her hand.
Seeing her reaction, Shi Chen whispered.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Lin Xuemuo was shocked and didn't expect Shi Chen's attitude towards her.
She thought he would be too disgusted by her.
"No trouble, no trouble!"
She was a bit flattered and said hurriedly.
"You should go inside. The meal is ready!"
After saying that Lin Xuemuo carried Shi Chen's suitcase in, and because of excitement she directly carried Shi Chen's luggage all the way back to his room.
The family sat at the table.
Because of that incident, Shi Chen has become the key concern of the whole family that whenever he moves his chopsticks to eat Shi Pingzhan and Lin Xuemo would intently watch him.
Lin Xuemo looked at Shi Chen eating slowly and aptly with his still indifferent expression. Seeing his stepson weighing down all his emotions in his heart, she couldn't help but blamed herself a little.
All these years, she was the one who didn't do enough to impress her stepson.
Shi Chen was also a child she watched grow up. She loved this house and this family, and of course, that includes Shi Chen. Although the child didn't like her, she regarded him as her son from the bottom of her heart.
She always felt that she had done wrong and failed to let Shi Chen feel maternal love from her, so he developed this kind of lonely and paranoid temperament. Now that he encountered this kind of problem with his character, she and her husband were worried he gets into trouble.
He was such an excellent child.
How could his mother have the heart to hurt him?
Lin Xuemo learned from Shi Ning that Cao Shu not only cheated in marriage but also had another child outside without telling everyone.
"Eat more food, Auntie specially asked the kitchen to make it for you, all the things you love to eat."
Lin Xuemo felt a little distressed seeing Shi Chen burying his head as he eats but don't have much food on his plate so she stood up and served him several dishes.
The bowl was piled up into a small mountain, and the dishes Lin Xuemuo gave him were among the few he loved to eat.
Shi Chen pulled out a smile.
"You know all about it, so why wouldn't she."
"Huh? Know what?" Lin Xuemou asked when she heard it.
Shi Chen: "Nothing."
He bowed his head and ate a few bites of food, hesitated a few times, and finally said the words.
"Aunt Lin, thank you for all these years."
And, I'm sorry.
He didn't have the face to say the latter sentence and recited it silently in his heart instead.
After knowing the truth, he suddenly remembered how capricious he was in this family. It was clear that his stepmother had done nothing wrong, tolerated him in every way, and cared for him carefully.
He, on the other hand, would only put himself in full armor, not accepting any of her concerns, and even bad-mouthing her.
In those days when they were at peace, he didn't bother her just because of Shi Ning.
He always saw Lin Xuemuo as the destroyer of his family, believing that it was his father who forced his mother away with this woman.
Who knows.
The person he has been defending was the one who made mistakes.
For the first time, he felt ashamed at home because of guilt.
Lin Xuemo was stunned for a moment but she reacted and immediately said.
"What are you talking about this child, why say thank you to me, we are a family ah. What's there to thank."
"Your aunt is right, we are a family, even if something happens, we will be there for you."
Shi Pingzhan also picked up the line.
He has long wanted to comfort his son, but the two usually use cold words and end up arguing so when he wanted to say a few comforting words to Shi Chen he couldn't say it but had to borrow the words of his wife.
Family.
In the past, Shi Chen felt that this word was a bit ironic when used on him. In his opinion, this family, except Shi Ning, were all traitors, and he looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.
Now, however, the word made him feel a little warm.
After eating, Shi Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"I'll go up first, I'm done eating."
Shi Pingzhan: "After a while, you come to me in the study dad wants to talk to you."
Shi Chen guessed that Shi Pingzhan would look for him so he nodded as an answer.
Shi Ning on the other hand was supposed to review her math questions and work exercise after eating now that she was home.
But for the first time, she couldn't concentrate on her studies, her mind was full of other things.
Shi Ning and Shi Chen's rooms were on the third floor while her dad and mom live on the second floor. She couldn't help run to the next door after flipping through her books to see if he was still talking to her brother or if her brother was already back.
Chapter 205
Shi Ning and Shi Chen's rooms were on the third floor while her dad and mom live on the second floor. She couldn't help run to the next door after flipping through her books to see if he was still talking to her brother or if her brother was already back.
"What are you doing?"
By the third time, she was caught by Shi Chen when she slipped to her brother's door to see if there was anyone inside.
"I have a question I don't know and I want to ask my brother."
She immediately made up an excuse.
Shi Chen: "You did not even take the book, not to question the purpose of it!"
All right, her brother is too smart for her to always fool him.
Shi Ning gave up and told the truth.
"Well, I'm here to see you."
Shi Chen opened the door of the room.
"Go in and talk."
When the siblings went inside, Shi Ning sat on her brother's bed and hugged a pillow.
"Brother, what did Dad say to you?"
Shi Chen laughed.
"He wanted to comfort me that heart, I can see that but that… I think he might as well not say it."
Two grown-up men are really not suitable for affectation.
Shi Chen thought of the situation in the study where Shi Zhanping comforted him and felt a few moments of amusement.
Shi Zhanping tried his best to comfort himself, but he only held back those words "want to be open." "It's nothing." These kinds of omnipotent comforting words, Shi Chen worked hard for him.
"What's the use of you saying that?"
In the study, Shi Chen coldly asked a rhetorical question.
Shi Zhanping was blocked by his words, and a familiar anger came up.
Sure enough, he and this son, the eight characters do not match.
Why can't he understand his father's painstaking efforts!
After a phone call from him, there is no news, how can not be contacted, so that he is worried about him at home day after day.
Now he's back. He wants to enlighten him again for fear that he won't get through it.
As a result, the boy did not appreciate it at all, and gave him back a sentence.
"What's the use of you saying this?"
"You brat, I knew I couldn't say anything nice to you!"
Shi Zhanping was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Shi Chen: "so stop talking. It's useless to say so much. It's better to do something practical, such as Dad loves you."
In his mind, he thought of the three second goods in the bedroom, and often expressed his love to him like this. He also said a sentence.
It was originally a joke, but Shi Zhanping's expression changed from dumbfounded, surprised, and finally moved.
His son finally told the truth!
It turns out that he has been longing for his father's love! Do you usually work against him just to attract his attention? What an awkward and soft heart it is!
He took a big step towards Shi Chen, wrapped an arm around his shoulders, held him in his arms, patted his back with his palm, and said with emotion,
"Son, Daddy loves you. I really love you."
Shi Chen: "…."
Why did he always feel as if the old man had misunderstood something?
But things have come to this point, Shi Chen can only go with the flow and say.
"My son loves you, too."
Thinking of this scene, Shi Chen couldn't help laughing.
He really did not expect to be able to hug the old man and say love you to each other in his lifetime.
It's so damn numb that his goose bumps are going to rise.
Shi Ning heard him say this, also followed the laugh.
"Is Daddy so cute? Hahahahahahaha."
"Brother, don't blame him, he really did his best."
For Shi Zhanping, comforting Shi Chen is itself a proposition of ten levels of difficulty.
Shi Chen: "When I came out, I also ran into your mother, and she also comforted me a few times. I have to say, your mother is still much better at talking than the old man."
Said here, Shi Chen look a little darker.
"It was always me who misunderstood Aunt Lin, I want to say sorry to her, how come the words are so hard to get out of my mouth.
Shi Ning: "your mother can definitely feel your heart. Besides, just like her mother said. We are a family. It doesn't matter whether we say these words or not."
Yes family.
He has a family besides his mom.
Shi Chen smiled in relief and looked at his sister.
"After knowing this, my parents came to comfort me, but you didn't say anything."
Shi Ning spent the past few days with him. If he didn't mention these things, she wouldn't mention them. She just accompanied him quietly and tried to make him happy.
"Because I believe that my brother, can pull through. There's nothing you can't do, nothing you can't overcome. You just need time to digest it." Shi Ning put her thoughts into words.
"In your mind, I'm that good?" Shi Chen guffawed.
"Mmm!" She worships her brother, blindly.
Shi Chen was happy, but his face showed a sad and frustrated expression.
"Hey, but brother is not as good as you think, also need to be comforted."
Shi Ning naturally knew that he was pretending.
It's a good idea, but it's rare for my brother to be pampered, so she has to cooperate.
She jumped off the bed and walked to Shi Chen's side, who was sitting in the sofa while she stood.
She touched her brother's head like Shi Chen usually touches her head.
"Good boy ha, no more hard feelings."
"All the bad things will pass, and after tomorrow, it's all good news."
The soft palm seems to have power to his body.
Shi Chen curled his lips and his obsidian eyes looked at his sister.
"Well, it's still your comfort that works best."
Chapter 206
Shi Chen curled his lips and his obsidian eyes looked at his sister.
"Well, it's still your comfort that works best."
The next day Shi Ning went back to school.
After seeing Shi Ning, Wan Yue asked.
"Eh, how is your brother?"
Shi Ning: "He was sad when he first learned about it, but now he should be better."
"Oh, that's good." Wan Yue responded and didn't ask any more questions.
Shi Ning looks at him, right now whenever she sees him she feels as if everything about him wasn't true.
"Are you really, the son of Cao Shu and Uncle Jin?"
The world was too small… The illegitimate son of his father's ex-wife and her half-brother has become her desk mate.
Wan Yue: "Yes."
As if he suddenly thought of something, he turned around and seriously asked Shi Ning.
"You don't hate me after knowing the truth, do you?"
"Of course not."
Wan Yue sighed with relief and asked a follow-up question.
"And won't ignore me because of this?"
"Nope."
She just felt surprised, and would not have any bad impression of him, he was worried unnecessarily.
"That's good."
Getting such an answer was undoubtedly a dose of reassurance, and a smile reappears on Wan Yue's face.
Shi Ning: "But your biological parents are so rich, why do you still want to work?"
"Because I think I have nothing to do with them as long as I don't use their money. I hate the identity of an illegitimate son more than anyone."
Wan Yue said with a bitter smile.
Shi Ning looked at Wan Yue and felt saddened.
He and his brother did nothing wrong, yet they have to suffer because of the mistakes made by the adults.
Although she does not like Cao Shu, being Wan Yue's deskmate these days she thinks he was quite nice.
He was neither humble nor arrogant, but hard-working and serious—the kind she appreciates most.
Besides, this boy…..
Was her brother's brother.
Although Shi Chen does not seem to recognize this brother, Wan Yue also has no intention of having him as a brother.
But because of this relationship, Shi Ning instead felt that Wan Yue was quite amicable.
"How old are you?" Shi Ning asked.
Wan Yue: "17 ah."
"What month is it?"
"October."
"Then you are two months younger than me, from now on you can treat me as an older sister, and I will cover you."
Shi Chen's brother was also her brother.
When Wan Yue heard this, he immediately disagree.
"I'm not going to be your brother."
Shi Ning: "Why your brother is also my brother, and I am older than you, but I cannot be your sister?"
Wan Yue: "I am related to your brother by blood, and you are not. Don't identify relatives indiscriminately."
"Oh.."
Shi Ning didn't insist. If he didn't want it then she wouldn't insist on it. She could just take care of him more for her brother at school in the future.
Boys were more emotionally sensitive and could be more aware of a girl's heart than girls.
He was in love with Shi Ning and he wanted to develop these feelings for her, but she wants to accept him as her brother instead. How could this proceed that way?
"It seems that I am acting too inconspicuously to make you say such things."
Wan Yue said mockingly to himself.
His voice was relatively low so Shi Ning didn't hear him clearly, she looked at him inquiringly.
Wan Yue: "Nothing. I think I'm not good enough for you."
Not good enough to make you love me too.
You only want me to be your brother.
This twist does not affect Wan Yue, it doesn't matter if he is an illegitimate son, people who despise him would still despise him anyway, as long as Shi Ning won't alienate him because of his status.
With this thought, Wan Yue opened the door of his house with the key.
Because he had to work at night, he did not choose to live on campus but rented a single room in a slightly isolated area.
After he went in this time, he found something wrong in the room. Many things seemed to have been too quiet.
Sure enough, he saw Cao Shu on his bed.
Cao Shu: "You're back?"
Wan Yue's face sank: "Why are you here?"
Cao Shu put a key ring on her fingers that was white as a scallion.
"Just two hours before you came back, this house you're living in, I bought it."
She said, sweeping her disgusted gaze around the room.
"Can you live here? You don't even have a sofa. It's just a bed, a table, and a chair. It's as small as a pig cage."
"I think I'm living quite well."
As long as you don't come here.
Cao Shu stood up from the bed and walked to him. Wan Yue looked at her grim smile and had an ominous feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, Cao Shu threw a slap on his face.
"I told you to leave but you didn't listen! I thought you wanted to do something, but you couldn't sit still and jump out! Did you tell Shi Chen about you? What do you want? Revenge against me? Or do you think what I gave you is not enough and want more?"
These days she went crazy contacting Shi Chen whom she couldn't reach, the thought of her son would never care about her made Cao Shu panic.
All this change started when Wan Yue came here, and she naturally assumed that this matter was also told by him.
In her anger, her force was not small, and Wan Yue's face was instantly red.
He touched his face where she had slapped him and smiled coldly.
"What do I want? Your money? Or your ridiculous motherly love?"
"Tell you what, this boy doesn't even care!"
He took out the card that Cao Shu had given him from his bag.
"It's because of this card that your son found out about me, and then found out about you. Blame yourself."
He said coldly and sarcastically said.
"Since you don't want to recognize me as a son, you just leave me alone and give me some money as a hypocritical gift. Where does it lead you now? Didn't you deserve this?"
"If you hadn't been stubborn with me and tossed yourself around so much, would I have given you so much money?"
She admits that in her heart, Wan Yue was not as good as Shi Chen, but at least she gave birth to him. Even if she couldn't admit him openly, at least she could give him the best material life. That's why when she saw Wan Yue working in a restaurant, she gave him a $5 million card in a fit of pique. Who knows that her compassion has harmed her.
"It's all because of you, you wolf! I told you to stay quiet, and you'll have everything you need, but why didn't you listen to me? If I had known you were like this, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place!"
Cao Shu scolded and cried, hammering Wan Yue's chest with her hand.
Wan Yue grabbed her hand.
"I advise you to stop, you think you're my mother? What right do you have to hit me?"
Did the two of them are now disowning her as their mother?
Cao Shu was so angry that she lost her temper and couldn't help raising her hand again to slap Wan Yue on the face.
Wan Yue stopped her other hand and pushed her hard, pushing Cao Shu to the ground.
"That slap just now, consider it a return of your kindness for giving birth to me. Now, I don't owe you anything."
He threw the diamond card at her side, his eyes were cold to the point of looking at a stranger.
"Take your money and get out of here."
The words he had held in for so long were finally spoken to her.
The mood his feeling now could only be described in one word, bliss!
Cao Shu looked at him incredulously, "What did you say?"
Did he tell her to get lost? Was he out of his mind?
Wan Yue then suddenly remembered.
"Oh, you bought this house didn't you."
"That's okay, I'll go out."
"Be my guest."
When he finished, he turned around and headed for the door, which he heavily shut threw .
Cao Shu looked at the empty room and fell to the floor in dismay.
She has been unable to understand what she has gained from doing so much and calculating all her life?
Chapter 207
Shi Ning received the news that her grandmother was seriously ill in the hospital during a language class.
She remembered that the teacher was talking about a literary text, and she was making annotations in her book when the class teacher suddenly walked into the classroom and interrupted the language teacher.
"Mr. Li, excuse me, I need to see a student in my class."
The language teacher nodded.
Lao Liu beckoned to Shi Ning.
"Shi Ning, you come out with me."
Shi Ning put down the pen in her hand and went out of the classroom.
It was the first time she had seen Lao Liu's face so grave, so she asked tentatively.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Lao Liu patted her on the shoulder and sighed.
"Just now your family called the office. Your grandmother had a heart attack this afternoon and is now being rescued in the hospital. The situation should be very serious. Your family asked you to go back and have a look."
Shi Ning ran as fast as she could and stopped the car, got out, and raced to the hospital.
Outside the operating room, Shi Pingzhan and Lin Xuemuo were already waiting outside the operating room. Shi Ning walked up to her parents and asked in a trembling voice.
"Grandma, how is she?"
"The surgery has been going on for more than two hours, and the doctor has just given two critical notices."
Her father who has always been calm and collected in whatever situations has now a trembling voice as he said these.
The closed door of the operating room was lit up with the words "in surgery" in bright red.
A door that hinders patients and relatives.
There was nothing they could do but stand outside the gate and wait anxiously.
Shi Ning saw his father's reddened eyes, hanging head as he covered his face with his hands, teardrops fell between his fingers while her mother paced around back and forth praying to heaven with her hands folded.
"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless."
At this time, in addition to putting all their hopes on the doctors in the operating room, they could only believe in ghosts and gods.
The operation took a long time and their family waited outside the ward for five hours.
During these few hours, Shi Ning wanted to rush in countless times but also knew she mustn't and she couldn't.
All she could do was wait outside and pray for her grandmother.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the door of the operating room opened. Shi Ning and her family rushed up. Shi Pingzhan grabbed the doctor's scrubs and asked with red eyes.
"How's it going? My mother, is she okay?"
The doctor who was used to seeing life and death would always still feel sorry and sad seeing the moment he sees the family and tell them the unfortunate news.
"I'm sorry, we tried our best."
"The surgery was not unsuccessful, the patient has not regained consciousness yet and could … be at any time."
The doctor didn't point out the rest, but the meaning was clear.
This person, they could no longer be saved. She was only hanging on to one breath and may go at any time.
The doctor patted the back of Shi Pingzhan's hand.
"There's not much time left. Please say goodbye to the patient."
"How long does my mother have?" Shi Pingzhan asked.
Doctor: "We don't necessarily know but short if less than three days, long if it may be a month."
A six-foot-tall man was momentarily unsteady on his feet, the doctor helped him to sit on a bench outside the operating room with a compassionate gaze.
"I'm sorry and condolence."
When the grandmother was pushed out, the old woman's face was bloodless but extraordinarily peaceful.
This scene was familiar, in her last life, she was also in the hospital when her grandmother died suddenly because of heart disease, and even after resuscitation she still died.
Why do people die?
When death comes to human beings, was there nothing they could do except grit their teeth and accept the pain that they cannot bear?
Shi Ning quietly looked at her grandmother in the hospital bed, and when she saw that there was still fog on the oxygen mask, Shi Ning rushed to the doctor.
"Doctor, my grandmother is not dead yet, she's still alive, look, she's still breathing, she can still be saved. Aren't you doctors, aren't you doctors the ones who save people's lives? How can you guys let her, let her wait to die."
'Waiting for death' these two words came out from Shi Ning's shaking lips as her emotions were finally taut and cried out.
The doctor let her vent and handed her a tissue.
"There are times when doctors can't do anything, little girl, so mourn."
Shi Ning cried and shook her head.
"Then you can't let my grandmother die like this without doing anything. You can do something, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, try it."
This time the doctor shook his head.
"Little girl, the patient's condition is naturally clearer to us as doctors than to you. With your grandmother's current condition, there is only one possibility if further surgery is performed."
"Dying on the operating table."
That night, Shi Ning stayed up all night, squatting in front of her grandmother's ward guarding it.
The next day, she had to go to school.
Perhaps because Old Madam Shi was old and has been in poor health in recent years, the adults were prepared for this result today.
Shi Ning saw her father kneeling in front of her grandmother's bed and crying all night, but today he has been able to comfort her in turn.
"Ning Ning, it's not a good idea for you to keep watch here, why don't you just go back to school, you still have to attend classes."
"Mom and Dad will be here."
Shi Ning smiled bitterly.
"Grandma in this situation, how can I still have the heart to attend classes."
"Or you can go home and get some sleep." Shi Pingzhan said.
"I can't sleep."
She was afraid that if she slept, she wouldn't see her grandmother one last time.
"Then go to school, your grandmother hasn't left yet, there's me and your mother here, and the doctor. You go to school first, and daddy will let you know if anything happens."
In the end, Shi Ning was driven to school by her father.
Shi Ning knew that her father didn't want her to keep dwelling on that sad atmosphere, so he forced her to come to school.
But even when she arrived at school, all she could think about was the hospital, the ward, and her grandmother.
Chapter 208
But even when she arrived at school, all she could think about was the hospital, the ward, and her grandmother.
Wan Yue saw that she was unhappy and asked her what had happened.
Shi Ning did not elaborate, she just said that her grandmother was sick and was in a very bad condition in the hospital.
This was the first Wan Yue saw her just holding the pen and had no notes on her book the whole time the class was ongoing.
Whenever Shi Ning was studying, she would always pay full attention to class or to her exercise books as she brushed those questions and notes.
But right now, it was the first time that he saw her completely lost in thought.
And he knows the reason why she was like this, it seems that her grandma Shi's situation was very bad.
"Be strong, your grandmother certainly doesn't want to see you like this."
Wan Yue knew that there was no way to comfort her about this and she had to get through it on her own.
Shi Ning looked at the books on her desk.
She used to love studying and was always energetic, but now she finds studying tedious.
"What's the used of studying no matter good our grades are and how high our score is, they were no use."
When her loved ones were seriously ill and their life was in danger, she still couldn't do anything.
Shi Ning muddled through a few days, the family hesitated to tell Shi Chen the news.
Shi Chen has been close to his grandmother since he was a child, and the relationship between him and Old Lady Shi is even deeper than Shi Ning, who suffered a blow not long ago and now wants to tell him about it, Shi Zhanping is a bit intolerant for a while.
"Tell your brother, he has a right to know."
Shi Ning said to his parents.
"Don't let your brother not even see the last of Grandma."
When Shi Chen arrived at his grandmother's bed, he did not know if his grandmother had sensed.
Hearing the siblings keep calling out to her.
Grandma, Grandma, Grandma.
Grandma Shi woke up, and her mind was a little clearer than before.
Only she talks to them for a few minutes and then she falls asleep again.
Later that night.
Grandma Shih then left.
When the old man died, both Shi Ning and Shi Chen took a leave of absence from school.
Shi Zhanping also put aside his company's business to prepare for his mother's funeral.
The day of Mrs. Shi's funeral, countless people came to offer their condolences.
Among them are also Cao Shu and Yu Chuyao.
Shi Ning has not seen Yu Chuyao for a long time, she compared to the past, really fell down a lot.
Although Shi Ning doesn't like her.
But Yu Chuyao is, after all, her grandmother's adopted daughter, and when the old man dies, it's only right for her to come and offer her condolences.
Yu Chuyao and Cao Shu, both close to Mrs. Shi, two people in front of the old man's coffin in pain and tears can not help themselves, like more than their real blood relatives come to hurt.
Many guests came and ran to comfort them.
After the funeral, Cao Shu approached Shi Chen.
"Xiao Chen, mommy thought about what happened last time, it's mommy's fault. Don't you ignore mommy, okay?"
Cao Shu cried eyes swollen more walnut-like, and when she saw Shi Chen, she couldn't help but cry again.
"These days mommy is reflecting on herself, it's me who did wrong. But you are my son, you can't just ignore me because I made a mistake."
Shi Chen handed her the paper.
In a light voice, he said, "Is it appropriate for you to tell me this at Grandma's funeral?"
Cao Shu huffed and commiserated, "But normally, you refuse to even see me."
Shi Chen is unusually calm, he really does not have the heart to talk to her about this today. If this person in front of him is not his mother, he would have thrown people out long ago.
His indifferent eyes fell on Cao Shu's face.
"Mom, I don't blame you for cheating on Dad in the marriage in the first place, and I don't blame you for having other children."
A hint of joy flashed across Cao Shu's face and she grabbed Shi Chen:
"So, you've forgiven mom?"
Shi Chen drew out his hand.
"What I'm sick of, is that you lied to me."
His eyes were cold as he said to Cao Shu,
"All these years, you really went to a lot of trouble to make me hate Dad and Aunt Lin."
"Is it fun to play your son around like a fool?"
"I didn't, I was just afraid that if you followed them, you wouldn't recognize me as your mother."
Cao Shu's heart went cold.
Her son is so clever that her schemes seem to have nowhere to hide from him.
"So you never cared about me, if it would be hard. You went out of your way to make me loathe that family, and you thought you were hurting the very people you hated?"
Shi Chen closed his eyes.
"The person you hurt, the person who will suffer the most because of those words of yours, is me."
"Where do you think I can be happy living in an environment that you should loathe and must force yourself to reject any kindness or warmth in this home?"
"Stop saying you love me, the only person you love most is yourself."
After Shi Chen finished, he did not care about her anymore, but walked away.
Chapter 209
"Stop saying you love me, the only person you love most is yourself."
Once Shi Chen finished saying this, he did not care about her anymore and walked away.
After the funeral, the lawyer who brought Old Madam Shi's will read it in front of all the relatives.
Old Madam Shi took great care of her younger generation. All the funds and real estate under her name were distributed to Shi Ning and Shi Chen. There was only one old mansion, she chose to give it to her son.
"The will is read, and you just need to sign it."
Said the lawyer as he handed the official document to Shi Ning and them.
"That's all that was read out?"
Yu Chuyao stood up and looked at the lawyer who read out the will with her red eyes open in disbelief.
"Yes, the above is the entire content of the will made by the old madam during her lifetime."
The lawyer replied.
"No, that's impossible! Grandma didn't mention half a word about me in her will?"
"No." The lawyer's businesslike tone seemed distinctly icy.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! How is it possible!"
Yu Chuyao grabbed the will and carefully read every word on it, the property distribution was full of Shi Ning and Shi Chen, none of which was her name.
"You promised me. You clearly promised me that you would give me the villa in the west of the city. You also said that you were afraid that after your death, I would be alone in the Shi family and leave the house for me."
Yu Chuyao said to herself, her eyes full of madness.
"There must be a mistake, a mistake!"
The lawyer took back the official document of the will and said.
"Indeed, the old madam's will previously left that villa to you and left you five million in cash."
Yu Chuyao's face showed joy as she wiped away her tears.
"Right! I knew that Grandma wouldn't really leave me alone!"
"But just a few months ago, the old madam personally called and commissioned me to amend the will. All those things you have belong to Miss Shi Ning now." The lawyer added.
Yu Chuyao: "What did you say? She gave all my share to Shi Ning?"
"Right."
"By what right! Why should I give it to her! This is what the old madam promised me!"
Losing the last trace of hope, she didn't care about her image anymore and questioned loudly. At the same time, the eyes quenched with hatred were cast towards Shi Ning.
"It's all because of you, it's all because of you, it's all because of you that you have caused me. If it wasn't for you, Grandma couldn't have done this to me!"
After saying that she was about to lunge towards Shi Ning.
Shi Chen stopped in front of Shi Ning and pushed Yu Chuyao away as hard as he could.
"Grandma also saw who you really are before so she made such a decision."
"Yu Chuyao, our family raised you because they were kind to you, not because they owed you."
After saying that he seemed so disgusted that he didn't want to give her one more look and directly called for security to drag Yu Chuyao out.
Shi Ning looked at this will in the lawyer's hand.
She really didn't expect that her grandmother would divide all her possessions, except for the old house, in half between her and Shi Chen.
It turns out that Grandma really loves her.
Without warning, the tears were again uncontrollable and seem to have opened the floodgates to fall.
After returning from the funeral, Shi Ning locked herself in her room and never came downstairs.
She sat on her bed until early in the morning.
Suddenly as if she had made up her mind about something, she jumped off the bed and went to the next room.
The door to Shi Chen's room was unlocked, and she opened it with a gentle push.
As soon as she entered, she smelled smoke.
This was the first time she saw that her brother smoking.
"Brother …," Shi Ning called out.
Shi Chen heard and turned his head to see her and instantly hid his cigarette behind his back.
Shi Ning: "Don't hide it, I saw it all."
She really didn't expect that her brother would actually smoke.
Shi Chen extinguished the cigarette and threw it into the trash, smiled bitterly, and said to his sister.
"I don't smoke much of this stuff, and I avoid it in front of you, but I didn't expect to be caught in the act today."
After college, the number of times he smokes increases.
He looked at Baidu and went to learn it. But because he studied medicine, knowing that smoking too much is bad for his health, Shi Chen didn't smoke much. He would come smoke only when he was particularly upset.
Shi Ning habitually sat by his bed, and Shi Chen also sat against her.
Shi Ning: "Brother, how does it feel to study medicine?"
"I feel like I'm shouldering the great task of saving people all the time."
"To be serious, a doctor is an ordinary profession. It's just because it's in charge of people's life and death and health, so it's more of a responsibility." Shi Chen said.
After listening to it, Shi Ning was silent for a moment and suddenly said.
"Brother, what do you think, if I want to be a doctor too?"
Last year, when Shi Chen asked her what she wanted to do in college, she still felt she hadn't thought about it and just wanted to improve her grades and study hard.
But now, she seems to have found the path she wants to take.
Shi Chen was not too surprised and asked in a soft voice, "Because of Grandma?"
"Grandma is one reason, more importantly, I want to save more people."
She didn't want to experience the feeling of being helpless in front of the operating room and having to wait.
"I often wonder these days if our country's medicine could be a little more advanced, and the doctor who operated on Grandma a little more capable, a miracle might have happened."
Although the person who operated on her grandmother at that time was already the most capable expert in the city, she still believed that science and technology were endless and there was still a high room for improvement in medical technology.
"I know this is a ridiculous statement on my part. Even if we work hard, we are just ordinary people, how can we do it if experts can't."
"But—"
Shi Ning paused and continued.
"If I encounter the same patient as grandmother next time, I never want to see the doctor say to the patient's relatives again that they can't operate, and they can only wait for death."
This was too cruel.
"Then go ahead and do it." Shi Chen said.
"I don't think this idea of yours is ridiculous. Before these things like telephones and airplanes were invented, who could have imagined it? All technology must be explored by people. There are always people who dare to think before they dare to do it, and only when they do it can there be results."
"It's just that you're studying liberal arts, and if you want to choose a major like clinical medicine, you have to be in science class." Shi Chen said.
"Then I'll switch subjects. I remember in our high school it's possible to transfer."
"Your brother supports any decision you make, but if you choose science, it means you have to jump out of the comfort circle of liberal arts, give up your biggest advantage, and keep up with the progress of science class when you are three months behind others. This road is not easy."
Shi Chen helped her analyze the pros and cons.
"As long as it's the path you choose, you have to go on even if it's hard, don't you?"
"Yes."
Tonight, Shi Chen felt that the girl he was protecting, grew up overnight.
Chapter 210
Science class one.
After class, the room was so noisy and too rowdy that two male students bumped into Lin Suno's desk between jostling.
Lin Suno was lying on the table when they bumped his desk. Disturbing his rest, Lin Suno raised his head as he looked at them with his cold eyes.
The student who bumped into him realized that he had disturbed his sleep and said in slight repentance.
"Sorry Suno, I bumped into you accidentally, it's okay, you go back to sleep!"
"How can I sleep when you guys are making so much noise?"
He asked back in a cold voice, impatience permeating his entire body.
The two boys didn't expect him to be so angry, so they said quickly.
"Oh, let's go away."
The two said as they went ahead and walked away, discussing in whispers.
"What's up with this Lin Suno, he seems to be extra grumpy these two days."
"Yeah, usually he is a little less talkative but quite nice, what's going on with him these days?"
"That young master is close to writing the words "not in a good mood" on his face."
After driving people away, Lin Suno also realized that he seemed to have lost his temper a bit.
But he couldn't control it.
In the past two days, he was annoyed to the extreme and even implicated the people around him.
He knew what happened to Shi Ning's family, and he also went to Grandma Shi's funeral.
From the time he knew the news after Grandmother Shi's death, he had been trying to find Shi Ning, but what could he do if he did?
Was this the kind of thing that others could comfort and get over?
Besides, he couldn't comfort people.
On the day of the funeral, he saw Shi Ning.
The girl, who was originally bright and full of life, was now depressed and gloomy because of this incident.
Just a few days without seeing her, Shi Ning has significantly lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He wanted to find a chance to talk to her that day, but after the funeral process, Shi Ning followed the family back.
The feeling of only being able to watch her sad and upset, and not being able to do anything, made Lin Suno unusually annoyed.
These days, he even went upstairs from time to time to the third art class to sneak around two times, just to see if Shi Ning has come back to class, the result was that every time she was not there.
What was she doing now?
Was she still sad?
Was she crying? Was there anyone with her when she cries?
These questions have been going back and forth in his head, and Lin Suno almost went crazy.
"Today, today is the day, no matter what, I have to go to her once with a brazen face."
He said to himself secretly in his heart.
The class bell rang soon after.
The physics teacher who was originally his period did not come in, but instead, the class teacher, Mr. Zhang, walked in.
"Students, today teacher has an announcement to make."
"In our class, a new student is going to be transferred, and she will be studying with you in the future."
"New student? What's that, a direct transfer to the competition class? That should be awesome, right?"
"Is it a top student from another science class? Or is it from another school?"
The class started talking about it.
Lin Suno, on another hand, was not interested in these. Because he was worried about Shi Ning he was losing interest in learning, let alone caring about transfer students.
"Hey, Suno. There's only one seat available next to you in our class. Maybe this transfer student will sit with you. Don't you see what your future deskmate looks like?"
The boy in front of Lin Suno turned around and said to him.
"I don't like sitting with others," Lin Suno whispered.
"The class teacher knows this, so he won't arrange people to sit with me. It's not that he can't add a seat in such a largely empty place at the back of the classroom."
"Okay." The boy felt like he was making a fool of himself and turned back his head.
"Student Shi Ning, come in." After informing the class, she called Shi Ning as she approached.
The moment he heard Shi Ning's name, Lin Suno almost thought he was hallucinating.
Was it the same Shi Ning he knew?
How did she come to the science class?
Shi Ning walked in and didn't say much, not even a smile just a simple statement.
"Hello, I'm Shi Ning."
Everyone has heard about the Shi family and could understand why she was like this and did not say anything.
It was just strange that this student was ranked number one in liberal arts class so why was she in the science class?
The class teacher said.
"Your physics teacher is still waiting to start his class, so I won't keep you too long. There are no extra seats in our classroom now, so you can sit with Lin Suno for one class first, and the teacher will help you add a table at the back of the classroom in the next class."
Shi Ning looked at the seat next to Suno, the left side by the window, her preferred position.
"Teacher, can't I just sit there? Why do I have to add another seat?"
The class teacher hasn't spoken yet when the boy sitting in front of Lin Suno scrambled to say.
"Well, Mr. Lin Suno, who is the first in our science class and is famous for learning from thousands of miles, has a quirk. He doesn't like to sit with others, so he likes to study by himself. To make sure he takes care of his mood, our class teacher tacitly allows him to sit alone. And our classmate Suno also likes to use two tables alone which also the teacher tacitly agrees. What's this called? This is the privilege of learning from a genius!"
"Oh, I see."
Shi Ning remembered that it was true. Suno seemed to sit alone from the beginning of high school.
"You talk too much!" The class teacher glared at him.
"Then it's you, after class, go to the empty classroom in the next building and move a table for Shi Ning to put in the back."
There were only a few students in science class one so the back of the classroom has a large space, not to mention putting ten tables were no problem.
"Okay." The boy responded.
"No need." A cold, slightly hoarse voice came.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who spoke.
It's Lin Suno.
He repeated it again in everyone's sight.
"I said no need, she doesn't have to go anywhere, just sit next to me."
