Chapter 153 How Could She Not Know
When Xiao Heng returned to the room again, Shen Qianhe had already taken a shower and changed into the new clothes that Xiao Heng brought her.
It was carefully selected for her by Xiao Heng. The elegant color and exquisite tailoring perfectly set off her elegant temperament.
She stood in front of the window, staring quietly at the night view outside.
The breeze gently blew her black hair, her eyes were deep, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Hearing the door open, she turned around and saw that it was Xiao Heng.
As soon as he saw his sister wearing the clothes he prepared, Xiao Heng couldn't help but feel happy and started to flatter her:
"This dress looks so good on my sister!"
"No, my sister is like a fairy. She looks good in anything she wears!"
Shen Qianhe was amused by his words. She pursed her lips and opened them slightly:
"Brother, can I borrow your phone? I want to... call my husband."
"I was missing all night, he must have been worried."
Xiao Heng's originally relaxed expression froze instantly after she heard the three words "my husband".
He walked to Shen Qianhe's side and said with a serious face: "Sister, I don't think that Xie Jincheng is a good person. Why don't you divorce him!"
Shen Qianhe: “???”
She widened her eyes in astonishment, thinking she had misheard, and then she heard Xiao Heng add seriously: "I know why you married Xie Jincheng, but you don't have to sacrifice your happiness for it."
"I'll take care of Ye Xiangan for you. Divorce Xie Jincheng. From now on, I'll protect you."
Shen Qianhe hurriedly shook his head: "Wait a minute! Brother, I don't want to get divorced."
"Why?!!"
Xiao Heng widened his eyes and looked at Shen Qianhe in disbelief.
"I've inquired for you. That Xie Jincheng is vicious and cruel, and his methods are sinister. He can even kill his own brothers! If you really get together with him, what if he gets in a bad mood one day and starts to attack you!"
"I saw a report on the news a few days ago about a man dismembering his wife! I'm worried about you being with someone like that!"
Shen Qianhe was ashamed.
"You don't know him. The rumors that he is a living devil are all false. He is not fierce at all. He is very kind to Xiaoyu and me. He is a responsible and accountable person."
Xiao Heng sneered disapprovingly and muttered quietly: "Just because he is that woman's son, how good can he be?"
"What did you say?"
Shen Qianhe didn't hear clearly, but still defended Xie Xijincheng: "I don't know why you have such a deep prejudice against someone you have never met, but you can't judge a person's goodness or badness based on rumors from the outside world."
Xiao Heng was somewhat helpless: "In short, I don't think you two will be together. Even if I don't stop you, my father won't agree to you two being together."
When Shen Qianhe heard this, he got a little angry.
She straightened her back, looked directly at Xiao Heng in front of her, and said in a firm tone: "I am an adult, I have my own judgment and ability to distinguish."
"Marrying Xie Jincheng is my own choice, and I don't think there is anything wrong with this choice. At least for now, I have no reason to divorce him."
Shen Qianhe seems gentle and easy to get along with on weekdays.
But in fact, she is a very stubborn person with a rebellious nature.
Once she makes a decision, even ten oxen can’t pull her back.
Although she had just met the Xiao family, in her heart, family ties could not be a reason to interfere with her personal choices.
To put it bluntly, even if Xiao Chengzhou is her biological father, Xiao Heng is her biological brother.
But in her eyes, they were just strangers who had only known each other for a few hours.
How could there be a brother who would advise his younger sister to divorce right after recognizing her as a relative?
Xiao Heng felt reluctant to see his sister unhappy.
He softened his tone and explained, "The situation behind this is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it to you right away."
"Either explain it now, or never mention that again."
Shen Qianhe stubbornly raised his head and stared at Xiao Heng.
The emotions conveyed in a pair of peach blossom eyes are clear:
She! Is! Not! Happy!
Xiao Heng thought for a moment and said, "He is older than you. Being with you is like an old cow eating young grass!"
Shen Qianhe resisted the urge to roll his eyes and glared at Xiao Heng, which made Xiao Heng tremble a little.
"I just like old men! What's it to you?"
Xiao Heng was choked by his sister's words. He smiled awkwardly and tried to change the subject: "Sister, don't be angry. I don't want to interfere with your feelings, but I just feel... How about we go eat something first and talk while we eat?"
Shen Qianhe slapped away his hand that was trying to pull her, turned around angrily, and walked towards the small sofa on the other side.
Xiao Heng hurriedly followed.
"Sister, listen to your brother's advice. Xie Jincheng is just after you because you look pretty. He is definitely not sincere to you!"
"I also like him because he's handsome, but I'm sincere to him. These two things don't conflict. Besides, why do you think he's not sincere to me?"
Xiao Heng was caught off guard by the question. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "No matter if he is sincere to you or not, you two can't be together!"
Shen Qianhe was very dissatisfied with this: "Why?!"
Xiao Heng said in a serious tone, "Because his mother was one of the culprits who murdered our mother back then!!!"
He thought that this reason was enough to shock, anger, sad and painful Shen Qianhe.
But who would have thought that her reaction would be so unusually calm!
Shen Qianhe said indifferently: "I have known about this for a long time. Apart from this, is there anything else?"
Xiao Heng was stunned for a few seconds, and it took him a long time to react: "What else?"
Shen Qianhe: "Xie Jincheng has committed other crimes."
Xiao Heng opened his mouth and said, "No, why were you so calm just now? This is illogical!"
Shen Qianhe asked again: "Then let me ask you, was Xie Jincheng involved in the incident that happened to my mother ten years ago?"
Xiao Heng blinked. He understood what Shen Qianhe wanted to express.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if he was not involved, his mother Zhong Ke..."
"stop!"
Shen Qianhe interrupted Xiao Heng with an unhappy expression, "He is him, and his mother is his mother. They are two completely different individuals."
"You can't deny everything about Xie Jincheng just because of his mother's past."
“Even if he is a murderer, should his children be condemned by everyone because of his crime?”
"His mother has been dead for so many years. The living person doesn't cherish the present life, but has to find trouble to implicate an innocent person. Don't you think you are being too much?"
Xiao Heng was stunned: "I mean..."
"Don't interrupt me, just listen to what I have to say."
Shen Qianhe had a stern face. His originally fair and delicate face now turned red like a ripe apple because of his argument.
"I don't care what he is like in your hearts, but in my heart, he is the best."
"The grudges of the previous generation should be settled by the previous generation. Besides, our mother is still alive, but his mother is no longer here."
"To put it bluntly, although you are my relatives, it is he who can spend my life with me, not you."
"I believe he won't do anything to hurt me."
In her previous life, Shen Qianhe lived cautiously, thinking twice before taking every step, for fear of displeasing others.
She is cautious and always considers other people's opinions. Grievances and sacrifices are the norm in her life.
After her rebirth, she experienced for the first time the feeling of being protected and held in someone’s hands.
In her mind, she kept recalling the words that Xie Jincheng said in her ear when he was moved that night.
"I love you very much, you know that?"
she knows.
How could she not know?
She had longed for that feeling of being deeply loved, but had never truly experienced it.
If there is only one person in this world who will treat her well unconditionally.
That person can only be him.
