Chapter 47 The humble young master
After Sheng Xun was kicked by Su Qingyu, he knelt on the ground for a long time and could not get up.
More and more people gathered around to look at him. Sheng Xun wanted to disappear immediately, but Su Qingyu's kick was really hard, hitting the vital point, and the force was fatal.
Shengxun stood up twice and didn't stand up. Finally, he called his assistant. This place was very close to their company. The assistant rushed over quickly and helped him up from the ground.
"M-hospital, go to the hospital." Shengxun gasped, his face covered with sweat.
The assistant didn't dare to ask or say anything. He immediately helped him into the car and took him to the hospital.
Shengxun didn't dare to stay in the hospital longer. Tomorrow was his mother's birthday, and he had to go back early to prepare.
After the severe pain subsided, Shengxun hurried home late at night, despite the doctor's dissuasion.
Only when he was no longer hit by pain could his brain think about Jiang Chu's words.
What he said was that Jin Wanwan was his mother, his biological mother?
What exactly is going on?
If it were anyone else, he might have thought he was talking nonsense, but Shengxun was different.
Sheng Xun, who grew up with strict requirements and criticism, felt like his parents' tool when he was very young. They would only praise him if he became good and achieved good results.
In this tool-man's understanding, he once thought why his parents did this to him. Wasn't he their biological son?
After having this realization one time, he observed the people in their family and found that he really had nothing in common with them.
A child always looks like his parents, even if he doesn't.
There are also children who look nothing like their parents, but look like their aunts and uncles, but he doesn't, not at all.
This kind of doubt and criticism from his parents were the source of his uneasiness since he was a child. Therefore, when he was a child, he always worked hard to become better and better, hoping to gain the approval and love of his parents. This persistence accompanied him as he grew up, and turned into instinct and obsession. .
Therefore, when Jiang Chu said that another person was his mother, his reaction was different from others, and he would not subconsciously think that he was talking nonsense.
Sheng Xun sent many messages to Jiang Chu, asking him what was going on, but Jiang Chu didn't reply to any of them.
He posted again and found that he had been blocked.
He couldn't tell others about this kind of thing. He could only open the videos posted by Jiang Chu and find Jin Wanwan in the videos.
While looking at Jin Wanwan, he took a mirror to look at his own face, and the more he looked at it, the more panicked he became.
He watched like this all night, without closing his eyes or sleeping. He didn't know what he was thinking.
The next day, he went to Qin Yin's birthday party with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard appearance.
Qin Yin frowned when she saw him like this, "Why are you here like this? You haven't even tied your tie. Look how you look like the young master of the Sheng family!"
Sheng Xun seemed to be stung by these words. He suddenly raised his head and looked at her and asked her directly: "What does the young master of the Sheng family look like?"
Qin Yin, who was dressed up, was stunned for a moment, "What's your attitude? Today is mom's birthday, is this how you talk to mom? You come to mom's birthday party like this, mom can't talk about you anymore?"
What else does Shengxun want to say? A guest is coming.
Qin Yin went to receive other guests.
Shengxun didn't move. He sat alone on the seat, not knowing what he was thinking. No matter who came, he didn't respond.
Not only Qin Yin, but also Sheng Yunkai was dissatisfied and glared at him angrily, but he didn't respond, making the two of them even angrier.
It wasn't until Hua Shuming and Xia Hongyu came with their mother that Sheng Xun had some reaction.
He grabbed Hua Shuming and asked, "You have lived in Jiang Chu's house for a long time, right?"
"Yes." Huashu Mingxin said, I won't tell you about Jiang Chu. It has been confirmed that Jiang Chu will be his aunt.
Sheng Xun: "What kind of person do you think Jiang Chu and his mother are?"
Hua Shuming: "...?"
"Aunt Jin." Hua Shuming didn't understand why he suddenly asked Aunt Jin, but he couldn't talk about Jiang Chu, but Auntie could talk.
"She is a very gentle, kind and hard-working person."
Hua Shuming said: "I feel very comfortable every time I stay at their house. She is very good at taking care of others. She is gentle and gentle to everyone. She smiles when we meet her and is very tolerant. She seems to be unable to see all my shortcomings. Praise me often."
"Didn't you also live there?" Hua Shuming shook his head, "No, that time you went there was like someone who owed you 200 million, and you still called her a stinker when you lived in her house."
After Hua Shuming finished speaking, he saw that Shengxun's face turned a little painful.
Hua Shuming asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly ask Aunt Jin?"
Shengxun didn't know what he was thinking, it seemed like he didn't hear what he said.
Xia Hongyu also felt very strange and pushed his arm, "Shengxun, are you okay? What happened?"
Sheng Xun exhaled hotly, touched his face, and suddenly felt that someone was staring at him.
He glanced at the door and saw that it was his grandfather Sheng Shishan.
He didn't know why, maybe because of his guilty conscience, he felt that the way Sheng Shishan looked at him was very different from usual.
Sheng Shishan smiled at him, with a kindness he had never seen before?
After smiling at him, Sheng Shishan went to talk to Qin Yin and Sheng Yunkai. While the guests were eating at the buffet, he called them into a room next to them.
There was only this small room on the first floor, which was a bit narrow and dark. The two of them didn't know what happened to the old man, and they were anxious to tell them here.
Sheng Shishan looked at Qin Yin and said, "Yin Yin, happy birthday."
Qin Yin hurriedly said: "Thank you, Dad."
Qin Yin married Sheng Yunkai, which was considered a high achievement. Back then, Sheng Shishan did not dislike her family background and accepted her kindly. He has been very kind to her for so many years.
Qin Yin is very grateful. Over the years, she has been determined to be an excellent and decent wife of a wealthy family, taking good care of him and her husband, strictly disciplining the children, and never relaxing for a moment.
Sheng Shishan looked at the two of them and said, "There is one thing I want to tell you today. Take advantage of Yinyin's birthday and treat it as a birthday gift."
When they heard that it could be used as a birthday present, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. It must not be a bad thing, but a good thing.
Sheng Shishan took out a document and gave it to them.
The two took it and looked at it together, and found that it was a paternity test, Shengxun's and theirs.
The two of them looked up at him in confusion, turned a few pages, and jumped directly to the last page, their eyes widening in shock.
"Shengxun, Shengxun is not our child?!"
"How can it be?"
Shengxun was a child they personally brought home from the hospital and had never had any accidents since he was a child!
Also, what kind of birthday gift is this to their old man? If it were someone else, they would definitely kick him out without a word!
Sheng Shishan actually smiled, and he handed them another paternity test report, "Yinyin, do you remember when I asked you yesterday which hospital Sheng Xun was born in? I discovered the problem then, and now I understand it. , the two children were held in the wrong arms, this is your biological son."
The two looked at the report with surprise and uncertainty.
This looks like an appraisal done by a private institution. There is no name on it, but it is certain that this person is their son.
The two looked at each other in shock and did not react for a long time.
Qin Yin held the report tightly, her voice trembling, "Dad, who is he and where is he?"
"To say that this is fate, you don't know this person at all." Sheng Shishan said: "Do you still remember that one day at dinner, I mentioned Jiang Chu who had interned in our company? That's him! "
Their eyes opened even wider.
"Oh, he is really a good kid. I saw that he was named one of the top ten outstanding youths in his city during the Chinese New Year." Sheng Shishan said happily: "By the way, have you seen his video? He looks so much like you, especially Yin Yin, it can be said that he is a combination of your best qualities."
He turned to look at Qin Yin and said, "How about I give you such an outstanding son? This is a good birthday gift."
The two of them were still in shock and recalling the past.
Sheng Shishan thought they were just too shocked to react, and he understood very well.
He said: "I have met the mother who raised Jiang Chu. She is also a good person. She has raised our Jiang Chu so well. I will contact them to meet tomorrow. She has raised Jiang Chu so well that we cannot break up directly. They will all be a family from now on, and we will continue to treat Shengxun as family."
After saying these words, he thoughtfully gave them time to accept and went out to receive the guests for them.
As soon as the old man left, Qin Yin's legs went weak and she almost fell down, but Sheng Yunkai held her up.
The two of them sat on the chair together, took out their mobile phones and found Jiang Chu's Weibo, looking for him in his videos.
However, his recent videos were all about other people, and he never appeared in the video.
The two of them flipped through anxiously, and finally found his photo, a photo of him and Xi Qinghe on the day they left City B.
As she watched, Qin Yin suddenly covered her mouth to block her sobs.
Sheng Yunkai's stern face became more tender. He looked at the photo intently, "He, he really looks like us. Is this the magic of genes?"
Qin Yin kept nodding her head, her fingers trembling as she clicked on the photo because her hand slipped and opened the last video he forwarded.
In that video, Jiang Chu was selling stinky tofu with a bright smile.
"He's like an angel."
"He must have suffered a lot."
They both spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time.
He suffered a lot. Wasn't part of this suffering caused by them?
They also remembered the time they went to the company to find him and force him to leave Shengxun.
There are a few words that are bombarding their hearts at this time.
"You can indeed drive me, a helpless person here, into despair."
"Even if I become depressed and go crazy, it doesn't matter to you, right?"
"Sheng Xun and I are both children of our parents. Have you ever thought about what would happen if your sons were treated like this?"
Qin Yin's chest felt tight and painful, and she almost couldn't breathe.
Is this retribution? At that time, she scoffed, thinking that what she said was so ridiculous actually turned out to be a prophecy.
"It was us. It was us who forced him away. It was us who made him lose his job. It was us who misunderstood him and made him suffer so much. It was us." Qin Yin started to cry.
"We didn't fulfill our parental responsibilities for a single day, and we added suffering to his difficult life. He was... how uncomfortable he was at that time."
The two of them watched all his videos like a masochistic act, and even Sheng Yunkai's eyes were red when they saw the end.
Just through these videos, they can feel how miserable his life was and understand how outstanding he is.
They were both students at Jin University, and they knew how many famous teachers they had paid to Sheng Xun since he was a child, and how much money they spent to send him to Jin University.
And not only does he not have such a thing, he also has to spend time helping his mother with work and cooking.
Not only is he so smart, he is also very sensible and filial. There may be no better child than him in the world.
The children they missed.
When Sheng Shishan brought Sheng Yunkai and Qin Yin into the room, Sheng Xun kept staring closely.
After a while, Sheng Shishan came out.
Shengxun saw that he was in a good mood, smiling and talking to many people, so it shouldn't be a bad thing.
But Sheng Yunkai and Qin Yin never came out. When everyone here was almost finished eating and the banquet was over, they came out of the room slowly.
Although they were smiling, Shengxun noticed that their eyes were a little red.
Shengxun didn't sleep long that night. After lunch the next day, his grandfather and parents didn't leave the table. After the servant cleared the table and left, they all looked at him.
Sheng Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly became extremely nervous.
Sheng Shishan said kindly: "Shengxun, we have something to tell you. Don't be nervous. This matter will not have a big impact on your current situation."
To put it this way, it doesn’t feel like a trivial matter.
"It's like this. We just found out yesterday that your mother had an accident when she gave birth to you in the hospital. You and Jiang Chu were carried in the wrong arms. Your biological mother is Jiang Chu's mother, and Jiang Chu is your parents' biological son."
Shengxun's brain seemed to be unable to move, "Who am I with?"
Sheng Yunkai said: "Jiang Chu, you and Jiang Chu were hugged by the wrong person."
Sheng Shishan said: "Don't be nervous, you are still our family and you can still work in the company."
In fact, Shengxun couldn't hear what they were saying.
His thoughts had flown to places far, far away.
He remembered the surprise in his eyes when he first met Jiang Chu, and a trace of longing that he had been unwilling to admit.
Rather than saying that he resembles Gu Mengchen, it is better to say that he resembles his parents. He has always wanted to please his parents who blended in.
Later, during the relationship, he learned about Jiang Chu's family situation. In fact, he disliked it, and when talking about it to his friends, he was a bit shameless and didn't take it seriously.
Especially his mother who sells stinky tofu.
At that time, he regarded Jiang Chu as Gu Mengchen's stand-in. Gu Mengchen was his artistic muse. How could he be related to something like stinky tofu?
Fortunately, Jiang Chu is in school, and he can think of him as a lotus growing in the mud. He has been far away from the mud and has been placed in a vase of clear water.
Later, Jiang Chu's mother came to see him at school and wanted to sell stinky tofu in the school food court. He was very angry.
It was then that he began to hate Jin Wanwan. Couldn't she be sold honestly in her hometown? Why should she pester Jiang Chu and remind him again and again that he grew up in a heap of stinky tofu?
This was the beginning. Later, when Jiang Chu returned home, he also thought that Jiang Chu stayed in that small place with Xi Qinghe because of her illness.
He questioned her, his words extremely harsh.
He still remembered that the smile on her face was a little stiff and she looked at a loss.
When he saw her here the day before yesterday, he was extremely angry. What did he say? Why was she crying?
Shengxun trembled all over, ignored the shouts of others, grabbed his coat and rushed out of the door.
At this time, when he went to the train station, he could no longer catch the direct train.
He applied for a temporary certificate in a daze, bought the fastest transfer ticket, and got on the bus.
He had been watching Jiang Chu's videos along the way. Except for the video with Jin Wanwan as the protagonist, he watched it several times. He also looked for Jin Wanwan in other videos until he saw that his phone was out of power and turned off.
He thought he would be able to stop this way, but he was still very uncomfortable. He bought a charger and found a place to charge it and continue watching.
Finally he arrived.
When he got off the familiar bus, he actually felt a little homesick and timid. He couldn't wait but didn't dare to get close.
This time he got a taxi and took a bus to Xianglili.
It's just a little strange, Xianglili is very quiet.
He had no time to think about anything else at the time. Xianglili was very close to home, so he walked there step by step.
The further he walked, the more he felt something was wrong. The people he saw were all wearing black clothes, and some of them had a white flower pinned to their clothes.
When he arrived at the door of Jin Wanwan and Jiang Chu's house, his legs went weak and he lost all strength.
There was a white curtain hanging on the small door, and an elegiac couplet was posted on it.
Even if Sheng Xun doesn't understand the customs here, he still knows that someone in the family has died.
There are only two people living in this house, one is Jiang Chu and the other is Jin Wanwan.
The sky was dark and the spring cold had not receded. A thin mist filled the small village, and the moisture stuck heavily to the face.
Shengxun stretched out his hand and touched it, only to realize that it was his tears.
His tears told him that no matter who these two were, he couldn't bear it.
It must be a dream, this foggy look is too much like a dream.
How could it be, how could it be like this? He saw them in front of him the day before yesterday.
Shengxun wanted to escape, but he couldn't move at all.
He gasped for air and saw someone looking at him, not knowing what he was saying.
He was helped and dragged into the door by someone unknown, and he saw the photo on the mourning hall at a glance.
The woman above smiles so gently.
Shengxun was so stung that tears rolled down his eyes and he could no longer stand.
With tears in his eyes, he watched Jiang Chu, who was wearing mourning clothes, stand up and look at him expressionlessly from a high position.
That was his last look before he regained consciousness.
When Shengxun opened his eyes again, he heard someone in the room say: "He's fine. It should be because he hasn't slept much in the past two days and hasn't eaten anything."
He saw Jiang Chu looking at him, and when he opened his eyes, he snorted, "He deserves to eat too."
The man left when he saw that he was awake, and said "sorry" to Jiang Chu before leaving.
It was already dark at this time, the world was shrouded in darkness, and there was no sound. There were only two of them in the mourning hall.
Shengxun was still lying on the ground. Su Qingyu squatted next to him, smiled, and asked him: "Shengxun, what are you doing here? Are you here specially to attend your mother's funeral?"
Shengxun's voice was hoarse: "Mom, mom..."
"Who is your mother? Please tell me clearly."
Sheng Xun raised his head with difficulty and looked at the portrait in the mourning hall.
Su Qingyu said: "How could my mother be your mother? Don't you dislike her very much? Do you still remember what you did and said? Do you want me to tell you everything in front of your mother's portrait?"
"No, no, no, no, Chu Chu, no, please..." Sheng Xun's tears flowed out from his bloodshot eyes, his voice was painful and unpleasant.
527: [Repentance value +3. 】
Su Qingyu: "It seems that you know that this is your biological mother."
He smiled, like a combination of a devil and an angel, "Shengxun, do you want to know what kind of person your mother is?"
Think, he thinks too much.
But he instinctively felt that Jiang Chu was too terrifying at this time and was about to destroy him.
He smiled very tenderly and yearningly, "Mom is the mother you have wanted since childhood."
"When you were a child, did you want a mother who loved you tenderly? She not only loved you, but also praised you every day. But your parents in the Sheng family kept scolding you, and they only had harsh words for you."
"Let me guess." He lifted his chin and looked at him, "You like Gu Mengchen so much, is it because he looks like your parents? Did he smile at you when you first met him? It must be the warm and bright smile that your parents never smile at you, right?"
"So you, poor man, can't help but get addicted."
"Because you have never had such a smile on your parents' faces. Because you are a person that no one loves. Because you have spent your whole life just to get your parents' warm smiles."
"You don't know, she, your biological mother, has it. She gave it to you more than once, but you ruined it every time."
Tears overflowed crazily in his red eyes. Shengxun shook his head, not wanting to listen to him anymore. But his mind couldn't help but think along Su Qingyu's words.
He thought of seeing the first video he shot in Xiangli in City B. In the video, Jin Wanwan and Uncle Li recalled what happened to Jiang Chu when he was a child. She always remembered and praised such small things, with a happy and proud smile on her face. .
He thought of Jin Wanwan smiling and handing him stinky tofu, her smile warm and approachable, and was forced back by his eyes and words.
He thought of Jin Wanwan's face full of anticipation and excitement when she saw him in the park, and was scolded by him until she cried.
"Don't, stop talking, please stop talking, please..."
[Repentance value +4! 】
Su Qingyu: "Shengxun, do you know? Last time she knew you were her biological son, so she ran to see you. She was afraid that you would dislike her, so she wanted to hide behind a tree and take a peek at you, but you did What?"
"You knew she had a heart disease, but you scolded her and made her cry. Do you know how sad she was? Do you know she wouldn't be able to bear it? Do you know she died the next day after she came back?"
Shengxun held his head in his hands, covering his head tightly, curling up into a ball in the corner, whimpering and trembling in pain.
527: [Host, repentance value +5! 92! 】
Su Qingyu hadn't let him go yet. He walked up to him, held his wrist, and opened his hand little by little. A gentle smile appeared in his blood-red eyes, "Sheng Xun, why are you crying? Isn't it very funny? happy?"
"You just found out that the person who could give you all the love you longed for was your mother, and she passed away. Are you happy? Are you happy that she doesn't have to embarrass you?"
527 even forgot to report the increase in repentance value and watched Sheng Xun go crazy.
He was like a trapped animal that had been tortured and went crazy. He strangled Su Qingyu's neck and covered his mouth like a madman.
The lunatic host of his was still smiling and said: "It's great that you don't have to have such a mother anymore. Even when I saw her a few times, her face was full of disgust and I never called her mother. How can you maintain the eldest son like you?" A high status."
He easily kicked away Sheng Xun, who had not slept or eaten much for two or three days.
Then he kicked him out again and looked down at him, "Sheng Xun, you are not worthy of keeping vigil for my mother. You have soiled her clean soul."
