He is paranoid and warm

These words suddenly made Sheng Shushu think of himself.

Wasn't it the same when she licked Xiao Yu?

Because of this, she instantly felt that she shared the same emotions with Mr. Xiao.

People really change very easily. In the past, she really had no feelings for Mr. Xiao. She even disliked him a little because they had no contact in their previous life and always felt that he bullied Xiao Yu.

Not now, it would be better if he bullies Xiao Yu more.

"Was it during that period that you and Ms. Zhu got together?" Sheng Shushu felt a little upset.

Perhaps it's because I'm standing from the perspective of Mr. Xiao and Ms. Ren Qiu. I always feel that they have a friendship with each other, but they haven't broken that layer of window paper.

As a result, Xiao Laochen snorted and cursed: "Bullshit! Who wants to be with her?"

Sheng Shushu was startled. She didn't expect him to suddenly swear.

After so many years, he still sounded angry, "She often goes to bars, and she can easily get me drunk, and she even slept with me in your mother's clothes..."

At this point, Xiao Qixiang sighed and said, "It's my fault too. I shouldn't have made that mistake."

During that period, Ren Qiu had hardly contacted him. She must have known about what had happened between him and Zhu Yun, so she ignored him even more.

Even business dealings with him have to be cut off.

"When your mother was pregnant with you, she had actually already saved up some family property. When she married Sheng Huanian, she only touched a small part of it."

"After divorcing Sheng Huanian, she started her business again. It was so simple, but she refused to touch those assets. Maybe she thought they were the result of doing business with me. Maybe she disliked me and the wealth related to me?"

Sheng Shushu doesn't think so.

Maybe Ms. Ren Qiu was reluctant to move?

That was the bond and memory between her and Mr. Xiao.

It was not until she was seriously ill and about to die that Ren Qiu gave most of her assets to Sheng Huanian.

It was to ensure that she would be treated well by Sheng Huanian.

"When she was seriously ill, I actually approached her and asked her to entrust the child to me, but she refused and preferred to look for Sheng Huanian. She said that after all, she was married to Sheng Huanian."

"I have never believed in Sheng Huanian. When he married Ren Qiu, he also said that he would treat her well and that you were his child."

"I believed it and even blessed them. Since she is pregnant with Sheng Huanian's child, I have no right to interfere."

Xiao Qixiang never thought that Ren Qiu lied to him and said that the child was Sheng Huanian's just to break away from him.

When she was seriously ill, Xiao Qixiang specifically looked for her because he felt that even if Sheng Shushu and Sheng Huanian had a child, since they had been able to divorce before and send it back now, Sheng Huanian would not treat it well.

Sheng Huanian still repeatedly assured that he would take good care of Sheng Shushu after Ren Qiu left.

Xiao Qixiang thought that after all, they were father and daughter, so they couldn't be that bad.

The only thing he could do was to arrange an engagement between Sheng Shushu and the Xiao family, which would be a bit of a guarantee for her.

In the years that followed, Sheng Shushu seemed to be living in wealth.

Xiao Qixiang leaned back in his chair. "Zhu Yun knows how I feel about your mother. She is jealous of your mother and hates your mother. She used her pregnancy to provoke your mother."

Whenever Xiao Qixiang mentioned Zhu Yun, he always felt so angry that his heart ached. After so many years, whenever he thought of Zhu Yun and Xiao Yu's background, he felt that he had betrayed Ren Qiu.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant with someone else's child without any clue, and she wouldn't have been so desperate that she would just marry a random man in order to avoid being a single mother.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Sheng Huanian was able to accept Sheng Shushu must be that Ren Qiu made a deal with Sheng Huanian before his death and gave him a large sum of assets.

"Xiao Yuming knew how much I hated Zhu Yun and how much I felt guilty towards your mother and you. He insisted on snatching this engagement away and marrying you, just to piss me off and avenge me for my indifference to his mother Zhu Yun!"

"I can understand that as a son, he feels sorry for his mother..."

"But he never knew how shameless his mother was!"

When Xiao Yu was mentioned, Xiao Qixiang also felt a pain in his lungs.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said, "Since you two have obtained the marriage certificate, even if he wants to piss me off, he should at least be nice to you."

"Although he has such a mother, Xiao Yu has no problem with his personal conduct. He should not do anything to you."

Sheng Shushu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Then you really overestimate him."

Xiao Qixiang frowned and immediately became serious, "Why, did he bully you?"

Never mind. She shook her head and said, "It's hard to explain. Anyway, I won't issue a letter of apology."

She hasn't mentioned the divorce to Mr. Xiao yet.

"I came here unexpectedly today, and I didn't expect to talk to you for so long. Don't get too excited. Your health is more important."

Xiao Qixiang waved his hands, "You won't live much longer anyway. Your mother has been gone for so many years, and I finally waited until you were able to get married, but in the end, Xiao Yu got the advantage. I've endured enough."

Sheng Shushu frowned, "Then you have to hold on a little longer, don't you want to see me live a happier life?"

Xiao Qixiang looked at her for a while and smiled, "It seems to make some sense."

He stroked his cane and sighed heavily again.

"I really regret pushing her to Sheng Huanian."

If she had not married Sheng Huanian, perhaps the story would have been completely different.

"If she hadn't married Sheng Huanian, she wouldn't be so depressed, let alone so seriously ill..."

Xiao Qixiang looked at Sheng Shushu and said, "When your mother passed away, she refused to have a tombstone erected. She didn't want a grave. Before her family dealt with it, I took her ashes."

“She’s always been there for me.”

Sheng Shushu looked at the cane in Mr. Xiao's hand.

I've known for a long time that he cherishes this cane and holds it in his hand every day. Is it because of this reason?

Holding the cane every day is like holding her in the palm of your hand every day?

Sheng Shushu suddenly felt extremely sad. Old Xiao was a man who could be both heartless and affectionate.

"Xiao Yu has no idea about the story between you and Zhu Yun?"

Xiao Qixiang snorted coldly, "Xiao Yu never bothered to ask me, and had already labeled me. As for Zhu Yun, does she have the nerve to tell the truth to her own son?"

Having said that, Sheng Shushu probably knew why Xiao Yu trusted Zhu Yun so much.

After all, she is his biological mother. For a child who grew up in an orphanage, this motherly love comes late and is precious, so he must have subconsciously believed it.

"Aunt Xiao, are you really best friends with my mother?" Sheng Shushu suddenly asked.

Old Xiao shook his head. "Not really. She knew your mother because of my suggestion. She is a filial child and only she understands me. I can only care about you through her. I can't find any other reason."

"But Xiao Wang really likes you."

Sheng Shushu nodded slowly. She knew this.

She finally understood that Aunt Xiao had hardly appeared in her life for so many years since she and Xiao Qingzhou had been engaged. It turned out that she was not a true close friend of Ms. Ren Qiu, but was just following the old man's orders.
