What do you want in life

Chapter 32 Can the Oath of the Past Become Forever (11)
Xiaoying smiled sadly when she heard the words. She never doubted Shen Juncheng's feelings for her, but there were too many practical problems to solve. At least, she knew that his family had not accepted her yet—even though Shen Juncheng never mentioned this in front of her. , but based on Xiaoying's understanding of him, if the obstacle at home is resolved, he will definitely be eager to take himself home to meet his parents as soon as possible.

Marriage, for them, is really too distant a vision.

Seeing that she was silent, Shen Juncheng naturally understood what she was thinking. They had experienced the turmoil when they were young together, and looking back now, it is still embarrassing.Now, although he has grown up, it is still not easy to do what he swore at the beginning, to make everything up to himself.No one can survive in this world independently. Parents, family members, these elements that are as important as lovers, are not a last resort, and he does not want to make an either-or decision.

And Xiaoying obviously didn't want him to take that last step of helplessness, "I will marry you when your parents agree with us."

Even though he knew she was right, Shen Juncheng still couldn't help feeling depressed, he put his arms around her and asked sullenly, "You care so much about my parents' opinions?"

Xiaoying nodded, "I don't want you to fall out with your family, especially your mother. After all, she is your mother. I think she loves you more than me."

Shen Juncheng felt uncomfortable, and bit her lip fiercely, "You mean, you don't love me enough?"

Xiaoying was itchy all over from being tortured by him, she could only smile and beg for mercy, and finally said seriously: "Maybe because I am a person without a family, I feel how precious it is to have a home." She stroked Shen Juncheng's On her chin, the hard stubble root moved in her palm, itching.

"Promise me, don't get angry with your parents, okay? Otherwise, we won't have a good time."

Shen Juncheng stared at her for a while, then nodded wordlessly.He was moved by Xiaoying's understanding, but it's a pity that his mother Wu Qiuyue would not understand.

This day seems to be no different from usual.

After work, Xiaoying said goodbye to her colleagues and walked out of the company to the nearby station.

The new company was far away from where she lived, and there happened to be a direct bus to get there, so she gave up her bicycle and took the bus instead.

When she was about ten meters away from the station, a strange voice behind her suddenly called her, "Han Xiaoying!"

She turned her head instinctively, but before she could react, a strange green flashed before her eyes, and then, a bucket of chilly liquid was poured on her head and face!
"Ah—" she screamed, but she didn't have time to dodge. Fortunately, she lowered her head in time to avoid the danger of being splashed on the face!The liquid started to hang down from her hair, and the sloppiness spread all over her body. The people around were all stunned and stopped to watch in amazement!

She thought it was nitrate or concentrated sulfuric acid that was splashed on her body, but her face and body did not feel hot, but sticky and had a pungent smell of paint.

When Xiaoying panicked and trembled all over, she heard the paint-splashing person yell at herself viciously, "Stay away from Shen Juncheng!" and then fled without a trace.

After a while, a thin man rushed towards here, chased a few steps in the direction where the paint-splashing gangsters were fleeing, stopped again, looked back at Xiaoying, who was trembling with paint dripping on her body, sorry Biting his lower lip, he quickly turned around and walked towards her.

"Miss Han, are you okay?" He took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for her, but after looking at the situation, it was obviously useless, so he had to withdraw his hand and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Xiaoying heard him report everything that happened here to someone at a fast speed, and then, after a series of "ummm", he closed the line.

"Miss Han, I'll take you to the hospital first."

"I want to report to the police!" Xiaoying squeezed out a few words through her teeth.

The man was startled, hesitated a bit, coughed twice and said, "Mr. Shen already knows, he will deal with it, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Please call the police for me." Xiaoying finally controlled her stuttering and repeated the request in a smooth manner.

The man glanced at her whole body, then looked around, thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone again, and dialed 110.

The police car arrived immediately, quickly recorded a statement at the scene, and after listening to the reactions of the surrounding people, they pulled Xiaoying into the car and went straight to the nearby hospital.

When Shen Juncheng arrived at the hospital, the doctor was treating her hair paint with a special potion. The pungent smell made Xiaoying burst into tears. She had already changed her clothes and changed into a hospital gown. The red patches here and there on the arm were also washed out by the potion.

He stood beside her silently, with deep and terrifying anger flowing in his eyes, his palms had already been clenched blue inadvertently, and his knuckles were faintly white.

"It's not easy to get rid of these things in the hair. Even if it is washed off, the hair will be damaged, and it will take a long time to recover. Alas, such a good hair, what a pity!" When the washing was almost done, the doctor looked Looking at the hair that still has some traces of paint, he was not satisfied and shook his head with emotion.

The man who accompanied Xiaoying to the hospital pulled Shen Juncheng to the corridor outside and explained in a low voice, "It was so sudden, I ran up as soon as I realized something was wrong, but it was too late...I'm really sorry...Miss Han asked to call the police, and I will report it for her. It's..."

"What did the police say?" Shen Juncheng asked hoarsely.

"I just recorded a statement. I didn't say anything. This kind of small case is usually not investigated in depth, and it is likely to be nothing..."

Xiaoying's hair was finally finished. The doctor helped her to tie it up, and told her: "It's better to twist it when you go back, and it will look good when it grows new."

Shen Juncheng stared at her without saying a word. Seeing her get up, he quickly walked over, took off his coat and put it on her, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll take you home."

When I arrived at the door of Xiaoying's residence, I saw a person sitting on the steps, wearing a very fashionable black suit and black trousers, with a pale face, smoking a cigarette.

"Xiaoyu." Xiaoying called him weakly, never expecting him to come to find her at this time.

Xiaoyu, who heard the movement, had already raised her head, but saw Xiaoying's expression was abnormal, and when she looked carefully, she found that something was wrong with her whole body. She looked so embarrassed, and was shocked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

The shock had not dissipated, and when he caught sight of Shen Juncheng who was helping Xiaoying up the steps, the shock on his face became even deeper.

"Are you... Shen... Brother Shen?" His expression seemed to have bumped into a ghost.

In eight years, the three former teenagers have grown up. Compared with eight years ago, Shen Juncheng has completely changed in terms of body and temperament. There is no trace of the stubbornness of the past, but the outline of the mature face and the unique sense of familiarity between the brows cannot be easily erased by the years.

Besides, Xiaoyu has a deep impression of Shen Juncheng in his youth - he used to be the protector of his sister, but he disappeared later.

Of course, Shen Juncheng also recognized Han Xiaoyu immediately, he and Xiaoying have too many similarities.This unworldly little boy whom he once "bought" in order to pursue Xiaoying, has now entered adulthood. Although he is incompatible with the life style of mainstream society, Shen Juncheng immediately accepts him from the bottom of his heart.

There was no painful entanglement in the intersection between Xiaoyu and Shen Juncheng. The memories were full of interesting and funny experiences. For example, Shen Juncheng secretly asked him to pay close attention to the "rivals" who might appear next to Xiaoying, and the time when he was under surveillance. To be able to meet Xiaoying, the bold Xiaoyu specially assisted him to "break out of prison" from the window downstairs. There are so many things, now recalling it, people can't help but smile.

As soon as the two met each other, they recalled the scene of "fighting" together in the past, and couldn't help smiling at each other.Xiaoyu didn't understand the situation, and he never heard Xiaoying mention Shen Juncheng's return to China, but now is obviously not the time to ask about these details, he must first find out what happened to his sister.

After entering the door, Shen Juncheng told Xiaoyu the most important things that happened recently, and a murderous look suddenly appeared on his fair and handsome face.

"I called my sister several times and she didn't answer. I was worried that she had something to do, so I came over to have a look. Unexpectedly... let me find out who it is, and I have to kill him!"

Perhaps because of psychological effects, Shen Juncheng's cheeks twitched slightly when he saw Xiaoyu's ferocious expression that did not match his appearance.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he simply stood up and said to the siblings: "I'm going out for a while, I have something to deal with, so I'll be back soon. Xiaoyu, take care of your sister."

After going downstairs, Shen Juncheng got into the car, his face was as cold as ice, and he called Huang Yiyun without delay, "Where are you? I want to see you."

Huang Yiyun, who was still working overtime in the unit, did not expect Shen Juncheng to call him at all, thinking that Wu Qiuyue's persuasion was very effective, he changed his mind, a little joy filled his heart, and immediately said softly: "I haven't left work yet! Otherwise Tell me a place and I'll go find you, how about having dinner together..."

"Then you wait for me in your station, I'll come over right away!" Shen Juncheng ignored her coquettish invitation, and cut the thread after speaking concisely.

Huang Yiyun shook the phone a few times, tilted his head and thought for a while, he was puzzled by Shen Juncheng's cold but urgent tone on the phone, he didn't seem to come to seek reconciliation with himself.

What is that for?
Shen Juncheng stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped forward like lightning on the road.At this time, the rush hour for getting off work had passed, and he arrived at Huang Yiyun's unit without hindrance.

Parking the car on the side of the road, he pushed the door to get out of the car and called Huang Yiyun, "I'm at the door of your unit, get down immediately!"

Huang Yiyun didn't even say a word, Shen Juncheng had already tied the thread.

Listening to the "beep" busy tone from the mobile phone, she was taken aback again. It was the first time that Shen Juncheng spoke to her in such a vicious tone. His temper has always been good.

"I'm sick!" She muttered dissatisfiedly, she no longer hoped that he would find her something good, but she quickly packed her bags and went downstairs.

It was not yet completely dark, Huang Yiyun stepped out of the large carved iron gate of the unit, and saw Shen Juncheng pacing back and forth anxiously under a vine that had just sprouted.

"I'm here, if you have anything to say, just say it." Huang Yiyun walked up to him and said nonchalantly.

But as soon as her gaze touched the anger in Shen Juncheng's eyes, she became terrified. Although she knew that he would not do anything to her, she still folded her arms around her chest in self-defense.

"Why did you do that?" He stared at her intently.

"Me? What did I do?" Huang Yiyun's mouth was stiff and her heart was guilty. She thought to herself that she hadn't done anything excessive. She just showed those two photos to Wu Qiuyue for admiration. As the victim, she had every right to do so.

"You still pretend to me!" Shen Juncheng is not an irritable person, but at this moment he only feels a fire burning in his chest, "You asked someone to splash paint on Han Xiaoying, didn't you? You hate her that much? You hate her You can do this? Where have you read so many books? I used to think that although you have a bad temper, you are not so despicable. I really, completely misunderstood you!"

"Hey! Have you said enough?" Huang Yiyun yelled angrily, "What are you splashing paint on? What is despicable? What kind of mess is this? What right do you have to criticize me?"

"Don't you?" Shen Juncheng calmed down, tried his best to suppress his anger, and looked at her coldly, "You can only prove your viciousness and stupidity by doing this!"

"Shen Juncheng!" Huang Yiyun bit her lower lip hard.

Ever since she was a child, no one was willing to use such vicious words to describe her. Her self-esteem was seriously bruised, and at the same time, a domineering air rushed to her heart, "I tell you, this matter is related to I have nothing to do with it at all! Yes! I hate her, I wish her bad luck! But Shen Juncheng, if I want to do something," she took a breath, her gaze became sharp in an instant, "I won't use such ruthless means! I will let her...never have a chance to stand up!"

The anger in Shen Juncheng's eyes gradually faded, replaced by confusion and deeper anxiety, "I will not give you such a chance."

"Really?" Huang Yiyun smiled, "Then, you'd better watch over your baby at all times!"

A trace of sadness suddenly appeared in her smile, "Shen Juncheng, don't think that I really love you." She turned her face away, and in the darkening twilight, her pretty face was covered by a touch of sadness, But she did not show weakness, "For so many years... I just couldn't swallow this breath, I refused to admit defeat... You are right, I have read the book, I know the seriousness, I actually want to understand, for that It's not worth it for a woman to put herself in. So, it's not you who come to tell me that it's over between us, but I want to say this to you!"

Shen Juncheng remained silent and just looked at her.

Huang Yiyun's face regained some color, "Now, go with your beloved woman in fear! I'm curious, who would help me do such a thing? But, I don't care anymore."

Under his confused and apologetic gaze, Huang Yiyun maintained her pride, walked past him with her head held high, and walked quickly to the parking lot behind the trail.

Shen Juncheng returned to Xiaoying's residence. The siblings were cooking. Xiaoying's hair became shorter than boys'. Xiaoyu helped her cut it.

He opened his palm and brushed it lightly over Xiaoying's blow-dried hair. The upright strands of hair formed a small black pompom, trembling slightly in his palm.

After the thorough cleaning, Xiaoying became much calmer. Instead of asking Shen Juncheng what he was doing out, she asked him calmly, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"not yet."

"You must be hungry? Come eat with us."

"it is good."

After a while, Xiaoyu came out with two bowls of noodles and placed them in front of Shen Juncheng and Xiaoying, "Brother Shen, I was just asking if my sister had any enemies, she is so slow that it makes people want to throw the pot, and she actually checked every one of them." Can't come out. Could it be that bad luck hit a psychopath?"

Xiaoying got up, went into the kitchen and brought out another bowl of noodles and a plate of vegetables, and heard Xiaoyu asking Shen Juncheng, "You and my sister were in the same company before, you should know her situation, right? She usually knows everything. Don't tell me, just ask me this and that!"

Shen Juncheng looked at Xiaoying, who lowered his head and ate noodles silently, so he shook his head, "It's not clear yet, but I'll ask someone to check."

Hearing what he said, Xiaoyu felt much more relieved, glanced at Shen Juncheng who was sitting with Xiaoying, and suddenly grinned, "I never thought that after so many years, you could still be together, I started to believe in fate That's it."

Shen Juncheng smiled at him.

"However, sister, it's not safe for you to live alone... Well, do you want me to find a girl to accompany you? Or, you can live with your colleague named Guo..."

Xiaoyu is usually preached by Xiaoying a lot, and it is rare for him to have a chance to reverse it, so he is not willing to let it go easily.

"No need." Xiaoying thought he was wordy, interrupted him: "I like quiet."

Shen Juncheng also said: "I will visit her every day."

Seeing the two of them denying it in unison, Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel happy. The implication of Shen Juncheng's words is already obvious. His sister has officially been taken over by Shen Juncheng, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

After her brother left, Xiaoying packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen to clean them. Shen Juncheng followed her and watched her work silently.

After a long time, he explained in a low voice beside her ear, "I went to her just now...it wasn't her doing it."

Xiaoying froze for a moment, then regained her composure, and continued to wash pots and pans with her head down.

Shen Juncheng hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to gently hug her, and pressed his lower lip with difficulty, "Maybe it's Jiang Fang, I'll find someone to take care of her..."

"No, it's not him." Xiaoying interrupted him suddenly, her tone was slightly cold, but she no longer wanted to hide anything, and said bluntly, "...it's your mother."

Like a drop of ice water falling on the heart, the cold feeling slowly permeated.Shen Juncheng opened his mouth to explain a few words, but suddenly found that he couldn't make a sound.

In fact, after he was sure it wasn't Huang Yiyun, he vaguely guessed who it might be, but he didn't want to believe it, so he took Jiang Fang out, and sincerely hoped that he did it.

"How do you know?" he asked dryly in a hoarse voice.

Xiaoying rinsed the bowls and chopsticks under the faucet. Amid the sound of gurgling water, her soft voice seemed to be cut intermittently, "Eight years ago... she was at your grandma's house... and said to me Had the same thing..."

"Stay away from Shen Juncheng!" These vicious words still linger in Xiaoying's ears, and the moment the paint-splashing gangster uttered them, she understood everything.

He took a deep breath, and after a while, he forced a smile, "Why didn't you say that when Xiaoyu was here just now?"

"I don't want him to know that he has a quick temper. If he finds out, he will definitely mess up." Xiaoying washed her hands and turned to face Shen Juncheng. Her clear eyes watched him quietly, "The moment I was splashed , I was really angry, so I insisted on calling the police, but now that I think about it...she is your mother after all..."

Shen Juncheng looked at her complexion, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help grabbing her hand, "Do you want to say goodbye to me again?"

Xiaoying stared at his nervous expression, and slowly laughed, "No, I won't give in again. Shen Juncheng, I want to be with you now, more than ever, so...you should be grateful your mother."

Shen Juncheng stared at her firmly, then suddenly pulled her into his arms fiercely, and hugged her tightly.

The car drove into the gate of the villa, and the silver-gray sliding door slowly closed behind.The driver parked the car in front of the main entrance downstairs of the villa, turned his head and said to Shen Nanzhang in the back seat with his eyes closed, "Boss, we're here."

Shen Nanzhang opened his eyes and looked out, and the familiar scenery came into his eyes again.

After staying in Hong Kong for nearly a month, it was considered that the matter was settled. When he returned home, he was not very happy, but felt a headache. He had learned long before the return trip that the cold war between his wife and son had begun again.
