Chapter 23: When Scumbag Men Grow, She'll Cut Their Heads Off
Typhoon day.
Every day, the windows are scraped and rattle loudly.
Wen Shu also suffered from insomnia, sleeping less than three hours in three days.
Her adoptive mother, Wei Jing, called her and told her about Grandpa Sheng's upcoming 80th birthday celebration.
Wen Shu also didn't want to go.
Firstly, it would be awkward, and secondly, she was afraid of running into Sheng Tingwang again.
"Mom, can I not go? I've been so busy with work lately, and if I take more time off..."
Instead of understanding, the person on the other end blamed her for being insensible, saying, "Old Master Sheng is only celebrating his 80th birthday. Even if you don't give him face, you should at least give your father face, right? If you don't go, what will others think of our Wen family? Shuyi, we've already agreed to your decision to break off your engagement with Sheng Li. You need to be sensible. It's settled then."
The adoptive mother did not give Wen Shuyi another chance to make excuses.
No matter how much she suspected before that the deaths of her biological parents were related to the Wen family who adopted her, there was no evidence.
It's a deep-seated worry, but there's no cure.
It just hung there, neither too high nor too low.
In the past three years, the Wen family has not interfered much with her affairs outside.
This was the first time the adoptive mother had made a request regarding Grandpa Sheng's birthday celebration.
She gave in, "Okay."
Put down your phone.
A headache is coming on.
She searched her bag thoroughly but couldn't find a single painkiller.
So, I took my phone, went downstairs to the hotel's own pharmacy, and bought some medicine.
Many tourists, having nowhere else to go, would sit in the lobby downstairs and drink coffee.
Unfortunately, Sheng Tingwang and Xu Chuyin were also there.
Wen Shuyi cursed his bad luck inwardly, quickened his pace, and slipped into the pharmacy.
Xu Chuyin clearly sensed that from the moment Sheng Tingwang discovered Wen Shuyi until she entered the pharmacy, his eyes were glued to her.
Xu Chuyin was unhappy.
But she couldn't find any reason to control Sheng Tingwang's eyes, or even his heart.
"Tingwang, now that we're back in Huacheng, I'm thinking of... continuing to work at Tianjing Group. What do you think?"
Sheng Tingwang withdrew his gaze, picked up his coffee, and took a light sip. "Your health isn't good; you should take good care of yourself."
"I get quite bored staying at home alone. I'll manage my workload, so please agree, okay?"
Xu Chuyin is gentle and charming.
For the past three years, Sheng Tingwang has always gone along with her wishes.
This matter is no exception. "If you feel you can take responsibility for your own body, I won't stop you."
"I will, don't worry."
Looking up, I saw Wen Shuyi coming out of the pharmacy.
Sheng Tingwang clearly made a move to get up.
Xu Chuyin rubbed her forehead and grasped his arm. "Tingwang, I'm not feeling well. Will you come back with me?"
Sheng Tingwang withdrew his gaze and reached out to support her.
Xu Chuyin leaned into the man's arms, letting him hold her, and disappeared from Wen Shuyi's sight.
Wen Shu also saw Sheng Tingwang and Xu Chuyin looking so affectionate and deeply in love.
My eyes are a little sore.
It would be a lie to say I had no feelings.
To say that one's heart is unmoved is to deceive oneself.
In fact, she had told herself this countless times over the past three years.
A man who said he wanted to marry her the night before, then disappeared and married another woman, is not worth her sadness at all.
She should treat Sheng Li the way she treated him.
If you betray me, then I will bury you in the ground.
When spring arrives and flowers bloom, and even more scumbags appear, she will use a sickle to cut off their heads one by one.
To vent the hatred in my heart.
But she realized that she was neither qualified nor had the energy to get entangled with another scumbag.
So be it.
Out of sight out of mind.
From then on, we parted ways peacefully, considering it all a joke.
After returning to her room, Wen Shuyi took her medicine, but still couldn't fall asleep.
She sat on the balcony watching the raging wind and rain.
The phone rang once.
A message asking to add a friend.
It has no name.
The design is a clear blue sky.
It's not hard to guess.
At this time, the people adding her as a friend are either Sheng Li or Sheng Tingwang.
She knew Sheng Li too well; his profile picture was usually a sports car.
Moreover, adding someone as a friend often includes a declaration of love.
There's only one possibility for something like this, which has nothing at all: it's Sheng Tingwang.
Wen Shuyi simply deleted him back then.
I forgot to block you.
This time it went smoothly.
Her world was finally quiet.
Sheng Ting added Wen Shuyi as a friend several times, but received no reply.
He was a little agitated.
I'm not in a good mood.
As he went out, he unconsciously walked to the outside of her room.
Just as I was about to raise my hand to press the doorbell.
Then Sheng Li's voice came through, laced with sarcasm, "Just got back to the country and you're already trying to harass my girlfriend, Sheng Tingwang. Have you forgotten you're already married? Are you only satisfied when you've ruined Shu Yi's reputation?"
"What are you doing here?" Sheng Tingwang frowned.
Sheng Li raised his eyebrows smugly, "To be honest, I had Shu Yi's team design an engagement ring for me. I'm going to propose to Shu Yi."
Sheng Ting's blatant disbelief is laughable.
That's pretty far-fetched. "She said yes?"
"She will definitely say yes." Sheng Li believed that he was better than Sheng Tingwang when it came to Wen Shuyi's feelings. "Even if she doesn't say yes right away, it doesn't matter. I have patience. A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold."
"Then I wish you success."
Sheng Li took two steps to stand in front of Sheng Tingwang. "Then please don't harass my fiancée again."
"You can say that after she becomes your fiancée." Sheng Tingwang raised his hand to straighten Sheng Li's collar, looking down at him condescendingly. "However, in my opinion, the chances are quite slim."
Sheng Tingwang patted Sheng Li's chest.
It was more like a warning to him to stay away from Wen Shuyi.
Sheng Li had no idea where Sheng Tingwang got his confidence from.
She glared at him and retorted, "My chances are slim, but what about you? Who do you think you are? If you treat relationships like a game, then your appearance as her savior was nothing but a scam."
A hint of malice crept across Sheng Tingwang's brow.
The kind that involves killing.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Wen Shuyi stood at the door, watching the two arguing men. "If you want to argue, can't you go somewhere else? You're disturbing my rest, you know?"
"Shuyi, I'm here to bring you some dessert." Sheng Li smiled cheaply and handed over the pastries he had bought with a fawning expression. "I had the hotel's pastry chef make them. Try them."
"I don't want to." Wen Shuyi was a little annoyed. "You guys get out of here right now. If you keep making noise at my door, I'll call security."
Done.
Wen Shuyi closed the door.
The two men were met with a cold shoulder, and neither of them received a pleasant look.
They left, one on the left and one on the right.
……
three days later.
The typhoon has finally passed.
Wen Shuyi received a message on her phone that she could board the ship in the afternoon.
She and Zhang Erfei wanted to go back to the city.
"Sister Shuyi, our tickets weren't booked together this time. I'm in Class C, and you're in Class E. Here's your ticket, please take it."
"it is good."
It takes three to four hours by boat to get from the island to the city.
Wen Shuyi originally wanted Zhang Erfei to book a double cabin, but there were too many people returning to the city, so they couldn't book together.
Forget it.
It only takes three or four hours.
When boarding the ship.
Wen Shuyi even looked around and didn't see Sheng Li and Sheng Tingwang, so she finally felt a little less upset.
After boarding the ship.
She tidied up her luggage and prepared to wait for the ship to depart.
Two-person cabins are actually the most convenient for family members, best friends, or colleagues to book together.
It was the first time Wen Shuyi had been in such a confined space with a stranger. Before she even saw the person, she had already started tapping on the castle with her feet.
If it were a woman, it would be a little better.
If it were a man, she really...
She took out her laptop, pretending to be busy, to cover up the awkward situation that hadn't even happened yet.
The ferry is about to depart.
The door to the room was just pushed open.
She looked up...
