I'm really rich

Chapter 231 Don't cry

Shen Mian couldn't remember more causes and consequences.

She only remembered that Jiang Chen, who was still so young at that time, was pushed to the ground, and a drunken man held a wooden stick in his hand, and each stick fell firmly on him.

Shen Mian felt pain even looking at it, but Jiang Chen seemed to have gotten used to it, even his expression didn't change.

In the end, it seemed that the mother overpowered the man who smelled of alcohol.

Shen Mian rushed over and saw that he was covered in injuries, and she obviously didn't know each other, but she suddenly burst into tears.

Her living environment since she was a child made her unable to understand why someone would beat a child with a wooden stick.

Jiang Chen was injured, but his consciousness was still clear. He looked at her sideways, and after a long time, the long fragment of the beer bottle in his hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, but it was covered by her crying.

He spoke the first words to her—

"do not Cry."

It seemed to be the first time the two met.

Thinking of this, Shen Mian suddenly felt very lucky, if the two of them hadn't met back then...

Probably aware of Shen Mian's gaze, Jiang Chen glanced sideways at her and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Shen Mian pursed her lips and asked, "I think of our first meeting, do you still remember where it was?"

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes silently, and after a few seconds, he said, "Milk tea shop."

Shen Mian shook her head: "I mean, Mianmian and Xiao Chengzi met for the first time."

Jiang Chen froze, and looked at her again, with complicated emotions in his eyes: "Do you remember?"

"I remember some, but it seems that there are many things that I still forgot." Shen Mian asked suspiciously, "Since you remember me, why didn't you tell me before?"

Jiang Chen said, "It's not important."

"Why is it not important?"

Jiang Chen stared at her clear eyes, without rushing, and said apologetically, "Because I was not good to you at that time."

The memories of that period seem to be engraved in his mind. Every day after leaving the orphanage, he thinks about it over and over again, and misses it over and over again.

But every time he remembered, what he regretted the most was that she was like a little angel sent by heaven to save him, but he didn't treat her well enough.

When she pestered him and made him laugh, he was indifferent and ignored her.

When she asked him to be the queen mother's husband, he exposed her fantasy, causing her to cry and say that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

The brand new car she gave him was also casually placed on the ground by him, without cherishing it, and he secretly picked it up until she left.

He didn't even say goodbye to her when he left.

Because she has too many friends, all the children in the orphanage like to surround her.

At that time, he felt that it probably didn't matter to her whether he could leave or not.

Although he felt that he was ashamed of her, Shen Mian didn't feel that way.

"Did you treat me badly? But when I think about it now, among the few things I remember, you are very good to me, just like the first time we met, you were all hurt, and you comforted me not to cry."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen lowered his head silently.

If he confessed now that he said this at the time just because he thought her crying was too loud, would he be beaten?
Think about it or forget it.

After being quiet for a while, Shen Mian withdrew her legs that were on his lap, hugged a pillow and nestled on the sofa, and said relaxedly and comfortably: "Jiang Chen, that memory is very beautiful, and when you think about it in the future, you should also I think so."

Jiang Chen responded in a low voice, "Okay."

Shen Mian opened her mouth again, hesitated to speak, but she remembered that Jiang Chen had told her that she could ask anything she wanted to ask directly.

So she tentatively said: "Jiang Chen, when we first met, the person who hit you..."

Jiang Chen said, "It's Xu Zhanguo."

"I know, that's not the question." Shen Mian asked seriously, with a tight face, "I mean, is he still alive?"

Jiang Chen: "..."

"No, he's still in prison."

At that time, Huayang subdued Xu Zhanguo, but the struggling Xu Zhanguo scratched a bloodstain on his arm. After Shen Lie knew it, he was extremely angry.

If Xu Zhanguo hadn't been detained, Jiang Chen had reason to suspect that Shen Lie would do it himself.

Hua Yang was not angry because of her injuries. She took Shen Mian and hired a lawyer for Jiang Chen, joined forces with the local Children's Protection Association to help him file a lawsuit, and sent Xu Zhanguo to prison. Shen's custody was also successfully stripped.

But that time he was not locked up for long, and he hasn't come out until now because of the incident that killed Ye Yiyao's father later.

Shen Mian sighed, feeling a little regretful, but at the same time remembered another thing: "By the way, my mother said that she and my father still wanted you to live in our house, why didn't you then?"

Jiang Chen remembered that Hua Yang did ask him if he would like to live in Shen's house.

He also understood that, to put it bluntly, that meant adoption.

But Jiang Chen refused, because he had heard that Xu Zhanguo would not be sentenced for long for the crime of torture alone.

With his rascal nature, after he comes out, he will definitely find the person who adopted him, Sapo, and once he finds out that the person who adopted him was the one who sent him to prison, then he will definitely take revenge.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

Shen Mian was living so happily.

He didn't want to give her the slightest possibility of being hurt.

Therefore, he would rather live in an orphanage where no one wants to live, until Jiang Yongqing saw the news and recognized him, and took him back to Jiang's house.

But in front of Shen Mian, he didn't mention these things, he just replied in a low voice: "If I am adopted by your family, I will be your elder brother."

Shen Mian believed it, so her ears turned red.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he would think so much.

The atmosphere was ambiguous, and the living room was quiet for a while before Shen Mian expressed his feelings again: "It's really lucky that we met that year, otherwise I would never have imagined where you would be now."

Judging from the memory of him being beaten in his mind, if his father hadn't been arrested at that time, Shen Mian didn't dare to think about whether he would have survived those years.

With calm eyes, Jiang Chen casually stretched out his hand to pour her a glass of warm water, and then said half-jokingly, "Probably in prison."

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Mian's expression became serious.

Jiang Chen handed her the water in his hand, "Just kidding."

"Yeah." Shen Mian took a sip, and the warm feeling filled her whole body, causing her to let out a breath unconsciously.

Jiang Chen stared at her slightly red ears, couldn't help being dazzled by what she said just now.

He didn't know where he would be now if he hadn't met her.

He only knew that on that day, the clouds were overcast and the surroundings were very dark.

If it wasn't for her sudden intrusion, then the fragment of the beer bottle in his hand would have pierced the heart of his so-called father.
