Chapter 45 Repeating His Mistakes
Wen Shuyi glanced at Sheng Tingwang and lowered her voice, saying, "Yi Ni, I'm currently at Sheng Tingwang's house, working as his nanny."
Xia Yini blinked, looking like she didn't understand.
"A nanny? Sheng Tingwang has children at home?"
"Well, it's a long story, let me tell you." Wen Shuyi began to make up a tale, "So, he adopted a little boy in Bincheng, and I was the one who used to take care of this little boy. I used to work at an orphanage. He took the child away, and the child wasn't used to it, so I came over. I heard you two are dating, right?"
Xia Yini, who had been listening to Wen Shuyi's story with a frown, was now listening intently.
A smile instantly appeared at the corner of her eye, and she said shyly, "It's the two families who are interested, but we haven't even started yet. He... seems a bit unapproachable."
"Do you like him?" Wen Shuyi asked softly.
Xia Yini blushed, glanced at Sheng Tingwang, looked away, and nodded, "I really do like him."
"Do you need my help? Let me tell you, he adopted this child purely out of loneliness. Once you two get married, I'll take the child away without affecting your lives."
Wen Shuyi gave Xia Yini a look that said, "Leave it to me."
Xia Yini blushed even more at her words, "What are you talking about? It's not even close to happening yet."
"How can there be no hint of anything? I bet he likes you too. Otherwise, why would he have asked me to come along? Wasn't it just to make you jealous and urge you to confess your feelings? Don't you think so?"
Wen Shuyi's nonsense actually convinced Xia Yini.
She blinked eagerly. "Really? You mean he actually likes me too?"
"I think so," Wen Shuyi gave a reassuring look.
Xia Yini gained confidence. "Then it seems we really need to find a good opportunity to have a chat and make this fire burn brighter."
"That's right, that's right."
Wen Shu also encouraged Xia Yini.
Although he couldn't hear what Wen Shuyi was saying, Sheng Tingwang understood from her expression.
He loosened his tie and called out, "Wen Shuyi, come here."
When Wen Shuyi heard her being called, she turned around and glanced at Sheng Tingwang. "Coming right away."
She turned to Xia Yini and said, "I'm just one of his employees. Please don't overthink it. You know, it's really hard to make money these days. You have to be subservient to people and compromise your principles."
"I understand, thank you for your hard work," Xia Yini said understandingly.
After saying hello.
Wen Shuyi returned to Sheng Tingwang's side. "Xia Yini and I were high school classmates, and we caught up."
"Was it just a casual reminiscing, or were they fabricating some baseless story?"
He seemed to see right through her, and Wen Shuyi felt a little guilty. "I wouldn't dare, we were just catching up."
Sheng Tingwang did not expose her on the spot.
An elder called out Sheng Tingwang's name.
He went over and exchanged pleasantries with the elders.
Li Jiangyan took the opportunity to pull Wen Shuyi aside.
"Shuyi".
He seemed a little agitated.
Three years.
He had no news of Wen Shuyi.
He asked Li Suian countless times where Wen Shuyi had gone, but she just wouldn't tell him.
The little boy in Li Suian's WeChat Moments who looked like Wen Shuyi really aroused his suspicion.
He once suspected that she was married and had children.
Until just now, I saw her walking in beside Sheng Tingwang.
He suddenly felt as if he had returned to three years ago.
The fingertips gripping Wen Shuyi's arm trembled uncontrollably. "Shuyi, how have you been these past three years? Why did you leave Huacheng three years ago? Why didn't you tell me? Even if we were just ordinary friends, you should have told me if you were having any difficulties."
Wen Shuyi shook his head slightly.
She had always felt apologetic towards Li Jiangyan.
"Brother Jiang Yan, three years ago, something unexpected happened to me, and I had no choice but to leave Huacheng. Now that I'm back, it's also out of necessity, so..."
She didn't know how to explain it.
She didn't want to tell anyone about her troubles.
Li Jiangyan didn't understand this before.
Over the past three years, he has gained some understanding of the relationship between Wen Shuyi and Sheng Tingwang through the words of many people.
"After you broke up with me, you dated Sheng Tingwang for a while, and then you left Huacheng. Was it because of him?"
Wen Shu also shook his head.
She didn't want to talk about these things. "Brother Jiang Yan, I don't want to bring up the past anymore."
"I understand. You've come back again because you're going to repeat the same mistakes with him, right?" Li Jiangyan couldn't understand why, after falling down with a man, you would get up and cling to him again. "Why Shu Yi? Since you broke up, why are you getting back together? Why? Is he really that good?"
Wen Shu also could not explain it.
If Li Jiangyan wants to know, then he should ask Li Suian.
"Sorry, I don't want to talk about it."
Li Jiangyan pulled her into his arms, his whole body trembling with heartache. "I know, I know you've suffered a lot. Leave Sheng Tingwang, he's not right for you. Shuyi, let's get back together, okay?"
Wen Shuyi felt uneasy.
If there is still someone in this world who truly cares for her.
Perhaps only Li Jiangyan remains.
But given her current situation, it's simply impossible...
"Brother Jiang Yan, calm down. We can talk about it another day. Please let go first."
She gently patted his back.
Li Jiangyan stubbornly held on to it.
He had a lot to say to her.
"Shuyi, you're afraid of Sheng Tingwang, but I'm not. If he's so capable, let him beat me to death in this kind of situation, and I'll respect him as a real man."
Li Jiangyan's words had barely finished when
Sheng Tingwang's cane pressed against his left shoulder socket.
He was incredibly strong; with what seemed like a light tap, Li Jiangyan almost flew off his feet.
"Brother Jiang Yan..." Wen Shuyi lifted her leg to help him up, but Sheng Tingwang's indifferent words came from behind her, "...Wen Shuyi, if you dare to go over there, I'll kill him today. You can try if you don't believe me."
Wen Shuyi withdrew her foot again.
She knew that Sheng Tingwang wouldn't go too far.
But she didn't dare to gamble.
Just then, Li Suian walked over and saw Li Jiangyan fall to the ground. She quickly reached out to help him up, asking, "Brother, are you alright?"
"Sui'an, take Jiang Yan with you and leave." Wen Shuyi gave Li Sui'an a wink.
Li Suian immediately understood, "Brother, today is Grandpa Xia's birthday banquet. Others may be shameless, but our Li family still has our dignity. Let's go back first, and we can talk about it another day."
Li Jiangyan glared at Sheng Tingwang with red eyes.
That one glance held both resentment and a refusal to give up.
Seeing Li Jiangyan leave.
Wen Shuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't blame Sheng Tingwang.
But he was unwilling to explain anything.
"Nothing to tell me?" he asked harshly.
Wen Shuyi stiffened slightly, then turned to look at him. "It's not illegal for old friends to hug each other when they reunite, is it?"
"So, are you telling me that you still have feelings for him and are planning to rekindle your romance?" He pressed, each word probing. Wen Shuyi retreated step by step, her eyes darting away. "That's between him and me. It doesn't seem to concern Third Master."
"You are the mother of my son, so you must keep yourself pure and virtuous."
Wen Shu also smiled bitterly.
What law stipulates that a mother with a son must remain single for life?
"Third Master, you probably misunderstand the meaning of 'keeping oneself clean and virtuous.' It refers to a person's character. As long as the relationship is upright and proper, the law has no jurisdiction over it. Why should Third Master seek this trouble?"
