Chapter 181 It’s over, it’s almost dark
It didn't take much time to get in the luxury car and return to the Lin family's mansion, only about twenty minutes. Shen Anxue got out of the car and reached out to hold Lin Wanju's hand.
She remembered that when she was getting acupuncture, the old doctor sighed and said, "You took so long to complete this treatment, which should have taken a week. So, my last acupuncture will be a little more painful."
"Do you understand? The treatment is different if you interrupt the course..."
Shen Anxue felt a little guilty for not being able to complete the doctor's instructions, but there was nothing she could do. She had no idea which would come first, tomorrow or an accident.
So when I got off the car, my knees felt a little painful, but as long as I didn't show it, no one would notice.
From childhood to adulthood, Shen Anxue has been well aware of this truth.
Children who cry get candy, and on the contrary, children who don’t cry are extremely unlikely to be noticed.
The eldest lady's hand was held in her palm. At the moment when their palms touched, Shen Anxue felt her heart soften.
She really enjoyed the time she spent with Lin Wanju, as she would protect her and even indulge herself.
Just like what happened in the acupuncture clinic just now.
She would say seriously that Shen Anxue's scolding was not good enough.
How can there be such a person in the world?
I actually hope you can use more swear words to express your emotions.
Compared with the etiquette and ways of dealing with people that her mother taught her, a small voice sounded in Shen Anxue's heart.
Admit it, being with Lin Wanju makes your soul feel more comfortable.
The two walked side by side, neither disturbing the other, but the silence did not last long.
Sure enough, Shen Anxue saw her mother next to the fountain. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She gritted her teeth and decided to follow her.
"An Xue...Mom has something to tell you."
Shen Anxue seemed to have anticipated that her mother would block her here, so she remained silent for a moment, her delicate and beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Wanju.
The street lights at the Lin family's house cast soft light and shadows on her face, making the shadow of her eyelashes longer.
"Wanju...you should go back first. I'll talk to my mother alone, and it won't take too long."
Shen Anxue made a decision in her heart. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Instead of a tug-of-war, it is better to talk it out with her mother. She has to make a choice eventually, and it is uncomfortable to be caught in the middle.
Lin Wanju wanted to say something but stopped herself, but in the end she said nothing, just nodded and returned to the room.
She sat on the bed with her eyes blank.
The words of the system kept echoing in her mind. Perhaps if she used a little trick, she could sow discord between them, but would she really end up like this?
The confusion and hesitation lingered in my mind.
Lin Wanju took a deep breath and grabbed her hair tightly with both hands. The slight pain allowed her to think more rationally.
"Calm down...Lin Wanju...Calm down!"
"You were just acting, how could you really become that kind of person?"
Do you want An Xue to choose between them?
Then what is the difference between you and the vicious woman like the original owner?
If you put yourself in An Xue’s shoes, what would you do if she asked you to make a choice?
Lin Wanju felt a little breathless in the face of these inner tortures, but in the end she had made up her mind, and her eyes were gradually covered by anger and paranoia.
No…No…
No matter what, I won't let you leave me.
Even with the most despicable means!
...
The quarrel didn't last too long. Shen Anxue forgot how she started quarreling with her mother. It seemed that she lost her temper in just a few words. She only remembered the final outcome of the quarrel.
"What do you want me to do? Dig out my heart and show it to you?"
"Mom, I listen to you and I understand you..."
"When you left me at my relative's house, I didn't even cry. I just cried because I missed you. But why don't you understand me?"
"I never resent you for missing out on my childhood. I understand... I understand everything!"
"But why?"
"Why don't you understand me now!"
"If I didn't like you, why would I stay with you, Miss? Even if I had to flee the country with you, I wouldn't stay for a second longer!"
Shen Anxue was about to leave after she finished speaking. She had been pulled between the two sides of the scale for too long and was on the verge of collapse.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
At this moment, her mother still grabbed her wrist regardless. Perhaps because she walked too fast, Shen Anxue tripped.
Her legs fell directly to the ground, which was almost heart-wrenching because she had just had acupuncture on her knees not long ago.
The doctor said she hadn't had her period in a long time, so the injection was more powerful.
Shen Anxue reached out and hugged her knees. The pain from the needle pricking her acupuncture points was like pressing a time reversal button, and all the pain bounced back into her knees.
"hiss…"
"Anxue...your legs..."
It was not until this moment that Chen Cuilan realized something was wrong. She reached out with trembling hands and rolled up her daughter's trouser legs.
Shen Anxue's legs are very thin, and even if she wears slightly thicker pants in spring, they can be rolled up at once.
Her fingers trembled, and Chen Cuilan almost gasped when she saw the red mark on her knee.
"Did the young lady make these too?"
When Chen Cuilan said this, she seemed to be filled with anger. You know, when she was a servant in the Lin family, she always knew what to do, but now... she couldn't help but want to curse.
"No."
Shen Anxue stumbled to her feet and for the first time refused her mother's support.
"Don't lie to your mother. When the eldest daughter asked you to kneel on the broken porcelain, I should have stopped you instead of worrying about not being able to pay back the money for the vase..."
The more Chen Cuilan spoke, the more she wanted to cry. All the past events were in her memories. How could a person's character change so quickly?
When Shen Shuming married me, at the beginning of their marriage, he also spoke sweet words to me.
But in the past few months, everything has changed.
"I told you it's not true. I just got it when I went to the acupuncture clinic for treatment."
Shen Anxue's tone was a little anxious, but in her mother's eyes, it sounded like a poor excuse.
"You really don't want to go with Mom?"
Chen Cuilan asked cautiously with a tremor in her voice.
"Don't go."
Shen Anxue almost bit her lips in pain, and blood was everywhere.
"I have to make my own choice, Mom... I support you no matter what you do, but this matter has no result, so we don't need to talk about it anymore."
After Shen Anxue finished speaking, she covered her knees and limped into the villa, leaving her mother's sight. She could hear low sobs coming from behind her.
But... Shen Anxue was also on the verge of collapse.
I closed my eyes and let the tears fall. Finally, I made my choice.
...
Lin Wanju stayed in bed for a long time, her hands almost messed up her hair. Suddenly she heard the sound of the door opening, so she looked up and saw Shen Anxue.
The other person covered his knees with his hands, his face covered with tears.
It's like rain hitting pear blossoms, so heartbreaking.
