Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 370 Mother and Daughter ([-])

Tears welled up in Cao's eyes, but the corners of his mouth still managed to reveal a hint of sarcasm, "Speaking is really better than singing. On the surface, you pretend to be gentle and generous, but in fact, you are doing it like this. For yourself."

Shen Yuechen smiled when he heard the words: "Of course I am for myself."

Her frank answer made Cao Shi slightly taken aback, and stammered, "You...you finally admitted it."

Shen Yuechen deliberately paused for a moment, and asked Cui Xin to bring her a new tea.

She is pregnant now, so she can't drink strong tea, she can only drink some herbal tea, or red date tea.

Shen Yuechen took the new tea and warmed it in the palm of her hand. The hot air made her look a little dazed, "Mr. Cao, do you know what your biggest shortcoming is?"

The sudden change in her topic made Cao Shi feel a little nervous.

Shen Yuechen took a sip of the sweet jujube tea, and continued: "It's your little cleverness. You think you can understand everything and think it through, but unfortunately you are too greedy, and in the end you are clever but you are mistaken by cleverness. At the beginning, when I first entered the When we were at the Zhu family, you sent Ying'er to my side in order to flatter you, and you really put in a lot of effort to make her please me. I have to say that Ying'er and I have a good eye for each other. I like her, so I want to keep her by my side and bring her up well. Believe it or not, my thoughts on Ying'er are absolutely the same as on Ming Geer."

When Cao heard the words, she secretly clenched her palms tightly, and she didn't feel any pain at all.

Shen Yuechen took another sip of tea, "Since, since I entered the mansion, you have been by my side all the time, so you naturally know how difficult it is for me to come all the way to today. You are right, I am here today. Everything I do today is for myself, yes, I am for myself. Because I know that only when I have preserved myself can I have the ability and energy to take care of and protect those I cherish and love. If a person If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others, Mrs. Cao, you are so smart, you don't even understand such a simple truth?"

Cao's body trembled slightly, but she couldn't find any words to refute.

Shen Yuechen put down the tea bowl, and continued to finish the last thing he wanted to say: "You only want to climb up, and you even thought about being above me. Have you ever thought that you would be so bold to Yinger? How big is the impact. If you really care about her so much, you shouldn't turn around and try to betray me after sending her to me. If you put yourself in danger, you are putting Ying'er in danger. So, don't tell me how much you care about Ying'er, how much you love Ying'er, your sincerity is just a cover, it's not worth mentioning at all."

Shen Yuechen finished what she wanted to say, but Cao's face turned red and white, I don't know if he was ashamed or annoyed, but anyway, his face was extremely ugly.

Shen Yuechen met her eyes, his eyes were sharp, as if he had already seen her through.

Cao's back felt cold for a while, and she unconsciously lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at Shen Yuechen again.

Wu Ma looked at the timing, and said again: "The eldest grandma is so frank, and my aunt no longer has to pretend to be confused. The old lady and the uncle are already extremely disappointed with the performance of my aunt. So, if you continue to make trouble, The one who suffers is myself. I would like to advise my aunt to accept it as soon as it is good, just for the sake of sister Ying, and don't make more troubles."

Shen Yuechen's words pierced her heart, leaving Cao shi helpless.

If Shen Yuechen was putting on airs, maybe she could get a few cheap words by messing around.But now, she didn't have any excuses to refute, but even so, she still refused to bow her head in anger.

If she recognized it like this, then she would definitely stay.She doesn't want anything else, she just wants to stay, even if she lives in a dark and boundless life like Qin and Sun, it doesn't matter...

She worked so hard to plan for the future, but in the end, she got nothing?It's not fair, it's not fair.

"Let me see Ying'er, I want to see her." Cao plucked up her courage and asked Shen Yuechen again.

Chunming said coldly: "Hmph! Dreaming! You should give up your mind."

The daughter is her last straw.

Cao staggered and wanted to stand up, but was firmly held down by the women on both sides.

Their eyes kept watching her every move, for fear that she would suddenly go crazy and do something presumptuous, which would surprise the grandma.

Cao couldn't break free, so she stuck her neck and shouted, "I want to see my daughter, I want to see Ying'er."

Shen Yuechen glanced at her and said, "Don't forget your identity, Ying'er was never your daughter from the beginning to the end."

Cao was so anxious that tears flowed out, she had no choice but to soften her tone: "I beg you, grandma, I can't just leave like this, I want to see her."

Shen Yuechen pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you want to see her, there is only one condition, and that is to set off on the same day and leave Zhu's house immediately. As long as you are willing, I will let her see you for the last time."

She especially emphasized the tone of the last four words. Cao Shi bit her lip and nodded unwillingly.

Shen Yuechen looked at Mama Wu slowly, and said: "Mama, please bring Sister Ying here."

With many scruples in her heart, Mama Wu replied, "Is it really all right?"

Shen Yuechen said calmly: "How can it be okay? It's just this test, she has to pass it all the time."

Zhu Ying is a precocious child, and she is very good at observing words and expressions. If she is not allowed to see Cao Shi for the last time, this matter may become a lump, which will be hidden in her heart forever, making her uncomfortable...

Excessive protection may also become a kind of injury.

Wu Ma personally brought Zhu Ying over. When she saw Mrs. Cao, for some reason, she subconsciously hid behind Wu Ma.

This small action of hers made Mrs. Cao feel a little sad.

When did she become so afraid of herself?

Seeing her coming, Mrs. Cao smiled sadly, and hurriedly opened her hands and said, "Ying'er, come here, let me have a look."

Zhu Ying moved cautiously, first looked at Cao Shi, then at Shen Yuechen, her small face was full of uneasiness.

"Aunt Cao is going on a long trip today, so she wants to say goodbye to our sister Ying."

Shen Yuechen said something lightly while avoiding the seriousness.

When Zhu Ying heard it, her eyes turned red, she sniffed, looked at Shen Yuechen eagerly and said, "Mother, is Auntie really leaving?"

Shen Yuechen nodded, "Say goodbye to Auntie properly."

Zhu Ying was already a little scared in her heart, but when she heard Shen Yuechen say this, she became even more disturbed, tears fell one by one, like a master who had broken the thread, and couldn't stop for a moment.

Cao couldn't bear it anymore, seeing her daughter's tears, her whole chest seemed to be tightly grasped, making her breathless.

Cao waved her hand, motioning for Zhu Ying to come to her side, "Ying'er, come here. Come here..."

Zhu Ying first glanced at Shen Yuechen, saw her nodding slightly, then walked over slowly.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he was hugged by Li Shi.

Cao Shi hugged her like he was hugging the last straw to save his life.

Zhu Ying was so frightened that she cried again, and Cao choked up and said, "Ying'er, mother is leaving, but mother still has so many things to say to you. Mother... mother can't bear to let mother go." , if there is no you, how will mother live in the future? Yinger help mother, help mother plead with father, help..."

Before she finished speaking, Chun Ming brought her mother-in-law to the side, trying to separate the two of them.

How could Mrs. Cao be willing to do anything? After a lot of tugging, Chun Ming had no choice but to deal with Mrs. Cao ruthlessly.

Zhu Ying was so tormented by Cao Shi, she ran to Shen Yuechen's arms crying, and said with aggrieved face, "Mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

Shen Yuechen took out the handkerchief from his cuff, wiped her face lightly, and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry."

As soon as Zhu Ying came to her side, she calmed down a lot, and slowly stopped crying, blinking her tearful eyes, and nestled into Shen Yuechen's arms.

Seeing herself ignored by her daughter, Cao couldn't help feeling even more heartbroken. "Ying'er, why are you afraid of me? I am your mother."

Zhu Ying has been raised by Shen Yuechen's side for just over a year, how could she alienate herself like this?

Cao believed that Shen Yuechen was the one who made trouble, so she agreed to let their mother and daughter meet...

"Ying'er, don't listen to her, she's doing it for herself, she won't love you at all. In this world, the only person who really loves you is me."

Cao shi kept repeating these words, but Zhu Ying stayed in Shen Yuechen's arms, motionless and silent.

Shen Yuechen caressed Zhu Ying's back, and asked aloud: "My aunt is leaving, don't you have anything to say to her?"

Zhu Ying nodded first, then shook her head again.

She originally wanted to talk to her aunt, she wanted her to be well, and thought about pleading for her.But, for some reason, after seeing Mrs. Cao, she couldn't say anything, she just felt scared...

Shen Yuechen asked patiently: "Do you have nothing to say, or do you not know how to speak?"

As the saying goes, mother and daughter are connected.After all, Mrs. Cao is her biological mother, and she has taken good care of her for more than four years, so they should be closer.

Although Shen Yuechen didn't want to keep Cao Shi, she also didn't want to obliterate Cao Shi's dedication to Sister Ying.

"Go, go and have a good talk with Auntie, so that she can go away with more peace of mind."

After Shen Yuechen finished speaking, she let go of her arms and asked her to go back to Cao Shi's side again.

"Auntie...Don't be angry, Auntie, Ying'er has something to say..." Zhu Ying said timidly.

Cao Shi nodded with tears in his eyes.

Immediately, Zhu Ying took another step forward, raised her small hand, wiped Cao's face, and said in a low voice: "My aunt once said, let Ying'er be a mother's daughter obediently, and be obedient and sensible. These Ying'er has done it all, and she's doing it very well. Now, has my aunt regretted it again, and she doesn't want Ying'er to be her mother's good daughter... But Ying'er can only have one mother. Now, once you’ve decided, you can’t go back on your word…”
