After being read, the fake daughter became the group's favorite

When Gu Lin arrived at Shen Huaichu's house, it was pitch black again. A faint light from outside shone through the gaps in the curtains, but it was of no help in the dark house.

He had just checked on Shen Qian'an's condition.

During this period of time, he also intercepted many requests for help from Shen Qian'an and Shen Tu, and he was not completely unaware of Shen Huaichu's actions.

When Gu Lin met Shen Qi'an, he was still a "carefree and unrestrained" young master, especially in contrast to Shen Huaichu.

After not seeing him for a long time, Gu Lin almost didn't recognize him.

It is unlikely to say that he was not touched at all. After all, he had known Shen Qian'an for a long time. In name, he and Shen Huaichu were both his cousins.

But Gu Lin was not naive enough to think that Shen Huaichu and Shen Qi'an would shake hands and make peace.

Now it seems that only the situation back then has changed a little, and the person lying on the ground has changed from Shen Huaichu to Shen Qian'an.

Shen Huaichu was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and his brows slightly furrowed. He didn't care at all about the person who came in.

Gu Lin walked over silently and sat next to him.

The living room fell into silence for a moment.

Shen Huaichu asked first: "Why are you here?"

Gu Lin stared at the out-of-place bonsai decoration on the coffee table and gradually became distracted.

He did not answer Shen Huaichu's question, "I blocked the news about Shen Qi'an." Shen Huaichu was silent for a moment, turned his head slightly and said nothing more.

Gu Lin's Adam's apple moved, trying to make the atmosphere less heavy. "I heard Jingyi and the others went out to play? That's great, the whole family can go out to play. Brother, you should work hard and try to be on the play list next time."

Shen Huaichu slowly opened his eyes, sat up, put away the empty wine bottle in his hand, and looked straight at the decoration on the coffee table.

"Jing Zeyou noticed that she was in a bad mood recently, so he took her out to relax."

If it were any other time, Gu Lin might have started asking why he was in such a bad mood, but looking at Shen Huaichu's condition, his intuition told him that it was probably related to Shen Huaichu.

Shen Huaichu clenched his hands on his knees a little harder, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Lin, Shen Qi'an is right, I am really a coward."

Gu Lin's eyelids trembled slightly, and he pulled the corner of his mouth, "Brother, Shen Qi'an has never been on good terms with you, how can you believe what he says?"

Shen Huaichu's mouth curved with bitterness, and he suddenly said: "Her voice sounds very happy, but it's not because of me. All I brought was obstacles."

It turns out that Jing Zeyou was right.

He is afraid, he is afraid of everything, which affects Jingyi.

Gu Lin couldn't bear it, "Brother, please don't be like this, okay?"

"From now on, there is no need to block Shen Qi'an's messages..."

How could he not be a coward? He didn't even have the courage to tell the truth to his own aunt. How could he not be a coward?

Gu Lin snatched the bottle of wine from Shen Huaichu, "Shen Huaichu! It's just a few words! He treated you so well in the beginning, but he didn't do anything to you. How come you become like this after just a few words?!"

Shen Huaichu slumped his shoulders and murmured, "How could it be just a few words? Those were the things I tried so hard to hide."

Jing Yi was right, his aunt was a very warm person. She knew about his revenge plan, but she also always hoped that he could become a 'good person'.

A "good person" who, after taking revenge, turns his heart to the sunshine.

How is that possible? If he was a good person, then what would these ten years mean?

Gu Lin hesitated to speak. Shen Huaichu laughed at himself. He knew what his brother wanted to say. "Xiao Lin, aren't you also very clear about this? Otherwise, you wouldn't have helped me to block the news."

Shen Huaichu never told Shen Tu about Shen Qi'an's affairs. Firstly, he didn't want Shen Tu to worry about these things. Secondly, Shen Qi'an was also Shen Tu's nephew, and Shen Huaichu couldn't guarantee that Shen Tu would always stand by him.

Gu Lin lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in them. He wanted to tell Shen Huaichu that his mother would not do that, but he couldn't say the words.

If he was so sure, he wouldn't have helped Shen Huaichu block the news about Shen Qian'an. Isn't it because he is afraid that Shen Tu will plead for Shen Qian'an?

Shen Huaichu took the bottle of wine that Gu Lin had snatched away, drank it in big gulps, leaned back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling with a dazed look, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Shen Qi'an said he was afraid. Yes, he was very afraid. He was afraid that Jing Yi would have an accident on the racetrack, afraid that Jing Yi didn't need him at all, and even more afraid of becoming a hindrance to Jing Yi.

The more afraid you are, the more obvious it will be.

The hand hanging by his side rose uncontrollably, getting closer and closer to the pink peach tourmaline, but stopped when it was about to touch it.

He said to himself, "She is different from me. She looks like a fully armed hedgehog, but she actually has the best heart."

……

"Xiao Lin, what are you daydreaming about?"

Shen Tu looked at Gu Lin, who was unconsciously picking up rice grains with chopsticks, and asked puzzledly.

Gu Lin came back to his senses, hid the thoughts in his eyes, and smiled: "No, I'm thinking about work."

Shen Tu also knew that Gu Lin was interning with Shen Huaichu at Huarui. Shen Tu was happy about this and did not expect Gu Lin to become another Shen Huaichu. She would be happy if he could learn one or two things from him.

"If you don't understand something, ask your father or your brother." Shen Tu thought for a moment and said, "Or you can listen to both and consider it in a compromise."

Gu Jin said with a smile: "Madam, your son has taken all the benefits." Shen Tu glared at him, "Why are you arguing about this with your own son?"

Doesn't she think that such a good resource should not be wasted? It's best to absorb any advantages.

Besides, he is obviously his son, but he had to be given to her nephew. Who is in the wrong?

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Gu Jin smiled obsequiously and started to pick up food for Shen Tu.

Gu Lin smiled, lowered his head and stirred the rice, and asked unnaturally: "Mom, have you contacted Shen Qi'an recently?"

Shen Tu stopped picking up food. He hadn't heard this name for a long time and felt a little dazed for a moment.

In my memory, that little nephew went from being cute to spoiled, and then to being arrogant.

"No, what's wrong?"

Gu Jin frowned and looked over, wondering why his son suddenly mentioned such a person.

Gu Lin pulled the corner of his mouth and avoided the couple's sight, "No, it's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I suddenly thought of it."

Shen Tu sighed, "I heard that he would visit those two people occasionally. He still has some conscience, and his life seems to be pretty good..." As she spoke, she did not forget to say, "Just ask me here, but don't mention it in front of your brother. It's not good to make him angry."

Shen Tu was actually relieved that Shen Huaichu did not take action against Shen Qi'an. After all, she was the one who had called her aunt since she was a child.

If she really ended up in death or injury, she wouldn't know what to do.

"She has her own considerations, and the final choice of this consideration will not always be me."
