Chapter 083 Family Confession (10)
? ”
"He is just so casual in front of me and Xiaoyi, and he is very honest in front of my elder brother and mother. As long as I can remember, James has been working as a family doctor in my family. It is impossible for family members to get injured and sick from time to time, so that James has been idle for a long time, this time his mother deliberately brought him back, it was just an excuse to stay in the country for a while longer."
"What? Can't your mother stay in the country longer?"
"No, the main reason is that she is taking care of everything in the Shen family. When she leaves, the Shen family has no one to make decisions. Naturally, I can't leave easily, but because of my injury, it is a matter that makes everyone feel uncomfortable. An excuse that cannot be refuted."
"That James doesn't look very old."
"He is almost fifty, but he has a good mentality and pays attention to his diet, so it is understandable to look younger."
Hearing this, Ye Sheng touched his face, thinking to himself, what would he look like if he turned fifty?
"Ah Sheng, help me go back, I'm sleepy, I want to lie down for a while."
Ye Sheng got up and helped Shen Tang back to the room. After Shen Tang fell asleep, Ye Sheng propped up his upper body and sat on the head of the bed. He looked at Shen Tang's face and felt tenderness in his heart.
But when he thought of Shen Tang's mother's seemingly gentle but critical eyes, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. From Shen Tang's words, it was not difficult to see that the relationship between him and his mother was actually not close, but it seemed that he Mother also has certain requirements for his partner. He is so ordinary, how can he impress her?
What he is best at is nothing more than writing and drawing. Others are useless.
Ye Sheng felt a little worried.
Even after Shen Tang fell asleep, he couldn't fall asleep.
After thinking about it, he secretly got up and went out the door.
121 Unspeakable
Outside, the sun is shining brightly this time, and the scorching sun in July will almost melt people.
Ye Sheng stood at the door, hesitating whether to go out or not. At this moment, someone came up and asked, "Do you want to go to the vineyard?"
Ye Sheng glanced sideways and saw an old man wearing a long gown. He looked a little old, with deep wrinkles on his face. He was wearing a long cotton and linen gown and a pair of black cloth shoes, but he was in good spirits.
"is it okay?"
The old man pointed to the vineyard, "Of course, there is a gazebo in the vineyard, where you can enjoy the shade and pick grapes."
Ye Sheng took a look. The vineyard was full of dense vines and bright fruits, and there was no gazebo at all. "Then can I trouble you to show me the way?"
"I'm so happy." The old man smiled and walked towards the vineyard.
Ye Sheng followed the old man all the way forward, the sun was dazzling on the road, Ye Sheng squinted his eyes and looked around, surrounded by vines with trellises, the old man stopped suddenly, bent down and slipped through a vine, Ye Sheng There are also some who followed suit and got in. The feeling of being under the vine was cool, and the hot feeling of being exposed to the sun just now disappeared in an instant.
"Well, it's so cool."
"That's right, apart from a lot of mosquitoes, there are no other problems." The old man happily reached out and picked a bunch of round grapes. "You can also pick a bunch and eat it while walking."
Ye Sheng tilted his head and looked at the clusters of bright grapes above his head, his throat moved subconsciously, he picked a small bunch of grapes, tasted it, "Mm, it's so sweet."
"Yes, the grapes here are more than 100 years ago. The Shen family specially imported grapes from France to make wine. This variety of grapes, red or white, can be used to make wine. It's a pity that since the Shen family immigrated overseas After that, this huge vineyard was abandoned."
Ye Sheng looked around, "Abandoned? This vineyard is obviously well maintained!"
The old man smiled, "That is now."
"Come on, there is a gazebo in front of you." The old man pointed to the front, and Ye Sheng finally saw clearly that the pavilion was hidden in the vineyard, and the top of the gazebo was covered with grape vines. From a distance, he didn't know it at all. There is also a gazebo here.
Inside the gazebo, there were stone tables and benches. The old man took out a square wooden box from under the stone table. After opening it, Ye Sheng saw that it contained incense.
The old man lit the incense and put it in the corner.
During this time, Ye Sheng felt that a mosquito was biting him, he touched his neck, feeling the bite. "
Ye Sheng didn't speak, he was really spoiled and raised by Ye Lao, there is really no reason to refute this statement.
"Sit down." The old man pointed to the stone bench, then took out a round tray from under the stone table, then stood on the steps of the gazebo, picked a few bunches of grapes with excellent quality, "Eat, you're welcome .”
"thanks.
Before he knew it, he had already eaten up a small bunch of grapes. Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, he took another bunch in his hand.
"You came back with Xiao Er."
Ye Sheng didn't react for a moment.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, the old man explained, "Shen Tang."
"Yes." Ye Sheng nodded, "You are?"
"He is the grandson of my elder brother." The old man did not hide his identity.
Ye Sheng thought about it, he didn't know who was in Grandpa Shen Tang's generation, "Then what should I call you?"
"Call me the third grandpa." The old man and Shen Tang's grandfather are brothers, and he should be the only surviving elder in the current generation of the Shen family.
Because back then when the Shen family had only one family member, he was reluctant to part with the place where he was born and raised, so he stayed in the country.
And this Shen mansion has not been so lively for many years, the last time was when he came back.
"Third Master..." Ye Sheng was stunned for a while, and then called again, "Third Grandpa."
Elder Shen felt that Ye Sheng was very pleasing to the eye, and he was quite sympathetic. It was not easy for a young man to be so calm, "Seeing that you are also a sincere child, but, do you know the rules of the Shen family?"
Ye Sheng did not speak, but waited for the follow-up.
Sure enough, Elder Shen sighed quietly, "Hey, Xiaoer, he takes everything on himself, he knows that his mother won't agree with you being together."
Hearing this, Ye Sheng also grasped the point. He knew Mrs. Shen didn't like him. He could hear it from the conversation she had with Shen Tang in the morning, but she didn't express any objection, "But Mrs. Shen doesn't care about him." No objection."
"His mother is such a powerful person. She naturally knows Xiao Er's temper, and she won't refute it directly, but you may not be able to stand her tricks. If you meet her to make things difficult for you, you can tell Xiao Er everything. He'll figure it out."
"Why did you help me?"
"I have no children. Among these juniors, I like Xiao Er the most. I also hope that he can be happy. However, Xiao Er has a good vision."
Ye Sheng was a little flattered by the comfort and affection revealed in Old Shen's words, "Third Grandpa, don't make fun of me."
"Hahaha, you kid, you are really interesting."
The two chatted for a long time in the gazebo, until Shen Tang got a call, "I'm in the gazebo in the vineyard."
"Can you?"
"Or I'll come back."
"Well, then I'll wait for you."
Ye Sheng hung up the phone, but seeing Old Shen smiling, he was a little puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's really a person in love, this happiness is about to overflow."
Being teased by an old man like this made Ye Sheng feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'm not kidding you, you go pick a few more bunches of grapes, Xiao Er has liked to eat grapes here since she was a child."
Ye Sheng nodded and felt a little dizzy as soon as he stood up. The next moment, he sat back on the stone bench.
Old Shen asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it may be that I stood up suddenly after sitting for a long time, and my head is a little dizzy." Ye Sheng supported his head with his hands, adapting to the sudden dizziness.
"Then get up and walk around after a while, and I'll pick them." Although Old Shen is about to be a hundred years old, he has always been in good health, so he got up and walked out of the gazebo with a tray.
Ye Sheng stood up slowly supporting the stone table, the feeling of dizziness did not disappear, he raised his leg and took two steps slowly, but felt that the world was spinning, he also felt that something was wrong, he had no choice but to hold on The stone table continued to sit down.
Ye Sheng hadn't recovered yet, and James helped Shen Tang to reach the gazebo. James reprimanded him coldly, "Tang, you are too self-willed. It's only the third day of your fracture in such a hot day. How can you..."
"James, I know how to measure."
James moved his lips, but in the end he held back and did not refute.
"Ah Sheng." Shen Tang waved to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng supported his head, turned sideways to look at Shen Tang who was walking slowly, he wanted to get up, but he couldn't help himself, so he could only watch helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Tang noticed something strange when he got a little closer.
"I, I might be sick." Ye Sheng said with a slight frown.
Shen Tang sat down slowly, then reached out and touched Ye Sheng's forehead, "It's a little hot, do you feel any discomfort?"
"Dizziness, lack of strength." Ye Sheng wanted to put his head on the stone table so much that he felt tired even if he supported his head like this.
122 Husband Madman
"James."
James came forward and checked Ye Sheng. Suddenly, he saw a large pile of grape skins beside the stone table. He asked, "Did you eat these all by yourself?"
Ye Sheng nodded.
James couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing serious, I guess it's because I ate too many grapes."
"If you eat too many grapes, you will feel dizzy and weak?" Shen Tang obviously didn't believe it.
"You are so ignorant, you can't eat too much of these wine grapes." James pointed to the grapes around, "These are wine grapes, not like ordinary varieties. Similarly, the grapes contain a lot of sugar, plus he ate a lot of grapes, the sugar was converted into alcohol, and then he was drunk."
"Drunk?" It was Shen Tang's turn to be dumbfounded, it was the first time he heard that eating grapes made him drunk, it was incredible.
Ye Sheng shrank his neck in embarrassment, he could drink very lightly, but he didn't know that he could still get drunk if he ate too many grapes.
This is the first time I have encountered such an embarrassing thing.
Shen Tang looked at Elder Shen approaching with bunches of grapes, "Third Grandpa."
Old Shen smiled, "Here we come, let's eat some grapes."
Shen Tang waved his hand, "I don't want to eat it." Ah Sheng was already like this, he didn't have the heart to eat grapes at all.
Elder Shen looked at Ye Sheng, a little surprised, "Have you recovered yet?"
Ye Sheng was so embarrassed that he didn't want to speak, he put his hands on his head, turned his face down, and didn't look at anyone.
Shen Tang knew that he was shy, "James, help me support Ah Sheng, Third Grandpa, you are carrying the grapes, let's go back first."
"What's the situation?" Old Shen didn't know why.
Considering Ye Sheng's face, Shen Tang whispered, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Shen Tang turned back within 10 minutes after coming out, Ye Sheng lay on the bed, dizzy, until the kitchen brought hangover soup, he drank a bowl and then fell into a deep sleep.
After this time, the Shen family began to circulate a joke, saying that grapes should not be eaten too much, otherwise you will get drunk.
Of course, Ye Sheng didn't know, no one dared to say this in front of him.
Shen Tang was lying beside him, looking at his red face, he couldn't help laughing, he was drunk after eating grapes, it was hard to say anything.
Shen Tang laughed in a low voice, just the slightest shock caused a slight pain in his chest, he stopped smiling, lay down and fell asleep with him.
When the two of them slept together, it was night.
Shen Yi came back early and wanted to find his second brother, but the servant said that the second brother had just had a rest, so he didn't bother him, but ran to the periphery of the vineyard in every possible way to pick a few bunches of grapes.
Just as he was holding grapes in one hand and throwing one into his mouth with the other, a car came from behind him and he saw a face of ice cubes, this person was the confidant of his elder brother Shen Xi's subordinates.
And Shi Yu was sitting impressively in the back seat, but his face was a little ugly.
"Stop, stop." Shen Yi stepped forward to stop the car.
"Shiyu, come down and eat grapes, these grapes are so sweet." Shen Yi said as he opened the car door, and when Shiyu got out of the car, he closed the door.
"Let's go."
Bing Lian drove away in the car.
The expression on Shen Yi's face also changed, he looked at Shi Yu nervously, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
"Mother asked Bing Cuanglian to pick you up, because she was afraid that you would run away?"
Shi Yu's face was a bit ugly, it's not that he didn't run away, it's just that he didn't run away.
"Let me tell you, Second Brother won't tell mother the reason for his injury, but you have to be calm yourself. If mother finds out, you..."
"I know." If she knew the reason why her son was injured, he would be kicked out of the Shen family.
"Come, come, eat a bunch of grapes to suppress your shock."
Shi Yu stood there without any movement, with self-blame and hesitation on his face, and Shen also knew that he was afraid of seeing his second brother get hurt.
Shen Yi sighed slightly, "Let's go, you always want to see him."
Shi Yu silently followed.
Approaching the old house, Shi Yu suddenly felt pressured, no need to look, he knew that his titular grandma must be on the way.
Stare at him.
Shi Yu raised his head and called out respectfully in Zhou Jin's direction, "Grandma."
"Shi Yu, long time no see, you've grown so tall." Zhou Jin still had a smile on her face, but she didn't hide the flash of disgust in her eyes. Yes, disgust, she never liked the child in front of her. Whether it was when I was a child or now.
When the second child brought the child back to the Shen family, she did not agree with him to adopt the child. It was only because of some things she found out later that she finally agreed to keep the child after weighing it up.
But this child is not close to the rest of the Shen family at all, he only looks kindly towards the second child, and he doesn't pay attention to the others.
It was the same at this time, although he called grandma respectfully on his face, in fact, he didn't regard her as an elder at all in his heart, and he didn't even look at her grandma seriously.
He doesn't like her, and neither does she.
Then Shi Yu looked at Shen Xi, "Uncle."
"En." Shen Xi's response was very concise.
Zhou Jin looked at Shi Yu, who was already a little upright, and her tone was as gentle as ever, "I heard from your father that you are sick, so you can stay in the house to recuperate from now on."
When Shi Yu heard the words, she subconsciously looked at Shen Tang to one side, but the latter lazily leaned on the sofa and lowered his eyes, not looking at anyone.
"Thank you grandma."
She pursed her lips and smiled silently.
"Xiao Yi, you too. Your mother is in the country these days, and you have to go home to live. Do you remember how long it has been since you had a good talk with your mother?" Zhou Jin and Shen Yi had obviously different attitudes when they spoke. The words are more intimate.
"Yes, yes, I will move into the house tomorrow and come back to live." Shen Yi cupped his hands and rubbed against Zhou Jin, "Mom, I miss you, can you make me steamed eggs with shrimps?"
"I think you don't miss me, but the steamed eggs with shrimps I made."
"Hey." Shen Yi smiled like a normal mother and child, wrapping her arms around Zhou Jin's neck coquettishly.
She didn't reprimand, after all, there are no outsiders here, so it's okay to let the child get bored once in a while, and Xiao Yi is the youngest child of the Shen family, so he will naturally treat him more favorably.
"It's hard for the whole family to get together. Boss, please tell me that the dishes in the evening should be as rich as possible, and make more of the second child's favorite food."
"kindness."
"Mother, what about me?"
"Naturally, your share is indispensable."
Shen Yi chuckled.
The dinner was rich as always, until the dinner was ready, Shen Yi went to knock on the door of Shen Tang's room, "Second Brother, it's time to eat."
Only then did a faint response come from the room, "En."
"Well, second brother, move a little faster, the third grandpa and mother have already sat down."
"understood."
Shen Tang pushed Ye Sheng who was beside him, "Ah Sheng, wake up."
Ye Sheng who woke up was a little confused, he half-opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Tang asked, "Is it better? Still dizzy?"
"kindness."
Shen Tang saw that he was not in good spirits, so he didn't say any more, "Well, then you can continue to sleep."
"Okay." Ye Sheng closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
At the dining table, everyone looked at Shen Tang who came out alone, Zhou Jin's face changed slightly, "What about him?"
"He hasn't woken up yet, let's eat first, without waiting for him." Shen Tang sat down.
Shen Yi was also a little surprised. His second elder brother was really a husband-protecting madman. He didn't see his mother's complexion changed. It was rare for everyone to gather together today. It was the first time for the second sister-in-law to have dinner with the family. No one was called up.
Shen Yi didn't dare to look up at his mother's face.
123 Cause Conflict
Shi Yu lowered his head, looked at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
Shen Xi still had an unmoved expression.
It was Mr. Shen who spoke first, "It's all my fault, I didn't stop him, that's why..."
"Third Uncle, it's none of your business." Zhou Jin naturally knew what Uncle San meant by saying this. He was obviously favoring Ye Sheng, but since he is the only elder of the Shen family's older generation, even if it was her, Not daring to disobey, she had no choice but to say generously, "Go, warm some food in the kitchen, and send it over when he wakes up."
"Yes." Hearing this, the servant turned and went to the kitchen.
Shen Tang smiled gratefully at her, "Thank you mother."
"En." She hummed softly, "Let's use your chopsticks."
The rare family dinner together ended in a silent atmosphere. Shi Yu was the first to propose to go back to rest, "Grandma, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Zhou Jin ordered the servant, "Take the young master to the room."
"Good night grandma, good night grandpa, good night uncle, good night uncle."
"Good night, Father."
From the beginning to the end, Shi Yu didn't raise his eyes to look at Shen Tang, and after saying goodnight to everyone, he followed the servant and left.
Old Shen held his teacup and smiled kindly. He chatted with Shen Tang about family matters, "Shi Yu is a child who knows how to be polite. After all, he should also be admitted to university, right?"
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Yes, Third Grandfather."
"How did Shi Yu do in the exam?"
"The results haven't come out yet."
"What kind of university are you going to study at that time?"
"I'm going to let him apply to the military academy."
"Yes, the military academy is good, I think back then..." Old Shen said halfway, then suddenly paused, "Hey, I'm old, I always think about the past, don't talk, don't talk." He bowed his head and drank his tea.
It was Shen Xi who stood up suddenly at this time, "Second brother, since you are fine now, and mother will stay and take care of you, then I will go back first. There are still many things in the group that I need to go back to deal with."
Although Shen Tang was not close to his mother, the relationship between the three brothers was very good, so he would not be polite to his elder brother, "Let elder brother worry, you are busy with your work, mother will take care of you, so don't worry about me."
Shen Xi nodded, "Okay, mother, third grandfather, second brother, third brother, take this opportunity to say goodbye to you here today, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."
Shen Yi was a little surprised, "Brother, why don't you stay for two more days?"
"I am relieved to have my mother here."
Seeing Shen Xi's face that resembled his elder brother's, Elder Shen felt mixed feelings, "Boss, you have always been unsmiling, with a serious face since you were a child, how old are you? If you were my age, wouldn't you be so stern that no one would dare to approach you?"
Shen Xi felt helpless, he had no choice but to grow up like this, "Third Grandpa, don't make fun of me."
Old Shen naturally saw the helplessness in Shen Xi's eyes, "It's rare for brothers to get together, let's stay for two days."
Shen Xi was about to speak, but Zhou Jin opened his mouth to relieve the situation, "Okay, boss, you go back and clean up first, I'm here, and you can handle the group's affairs with peace of mind."
"Okay, mother."
After Shen Xi left, the number of people in the living room decreased again.
Shen Yi leaned over to Elder Shen, "Third Grandpa, how about I play chess with you for a while?"
"Of course, I'm worried about how to pass the time. Let's go to my study." Elder Shen was very happy to be accompanied by someone playing chess. He stood up and held Shen Yi's hand while talking, "Let's go."
"Then, mother, second brother, I'll go first."
Zhou Jin stood up, "Third uncle, go slowly."
"Xiao Yi stays with Third Grandpa well."
"Yes, I know." The divine doctor replied twice.
Now only Zhou Jin and Shen Tang's mother and son were left.
As soon as everyone left, Zhou Jin's face turned completely cold, and she said in a very displeased tone, "You should know the meaning of today's dinner, even if you are not feeling well, you can always show your face, right?"
"The day I married into Shen's family, I had a high fever of over 40 degrees. After receiving all the guests, I felt a little uncomfortable and didn't even show my face? Is this his upbringing?"
"Mother, he belongs to me. If you think his behavior is degrading, don't count me in the family banquet in the future."
"Shen Tang!" Zhou Jin suddenly snapped: "He is so rude! You are still so protective! You are so disappointing to me!"
There was no fluctuation on Shen Tang's face. He raised his eyes to look at his mother, and said slowly, "Mother, I am very serious to tell you, I know you are worried about me, but I am an adult, not a twenty-one Young boy in his early years, because of my sexual orientation, I have always made you unhappy. For this, I sincerely apologize, but, Ah Sheng is my lover. If the Shen family can't tolerate him, then they can't tolerate him I."
"You!" She pointed at Shen Tang, her fingers trembling angrily, "You really want to betray the Shen family for a man!"
Shen Tang counterattacked calmly, "Mother, it's not that I want to leave the Shen family, but that you can't tolerate him."
"What do you mean I can't tolerate him? Today is a rare day for our family to get together. If I can't tolerate him, can I get angry with you here because of his absence? He disrespects us so much! Why can't I tolerate him? "
Shen Tang was not moved, he pointed to the root of the problem, "Mother, you clearly know that he is unwell."
"Mother, he is the person I want to spend my whole life with. I just want you to understand that he is my bottom line. In this world, no one can hurt him."
"You really value him so much, for his sake, you don't hesitate to say such words that hurt your biological mother!"
Zhou Jin's dignity was completely broken, and she looked at Shen Tang with disappointment, "My son who was born in October, actually wants to draw a line with me for a man, haha..."
"Mother, I will say this to you in person today because I care about you. You are my mother, and the grace of nurturing is beyond heaven. If you really love your son, don't let him be caught in the middle. One side is a mother, the other side is a lover, no matter which side to choose, which side to give up, it is difficult for me to choose."
While angry, Zhou Jin inevitably felt a little tired, "In your eyes, am I such a mother? To achieve the goal by any means? I just expressed my dissatisfaction with his rudeness. Are you misinterpreting my meaning like this?"
"Mother, you should understand in your heart what you have done. Back then, my third brother chose a school and started a business with me..."
Zhou Jin interrupted Shen Tang, "Shen Tang! You!"
Zhou Jin was out of breath, she pointed at Shen Tang, "How can you miss me so much!?"
Shen Tang's face was calm, "If you do this, don't blame us for thinking so."
It was the first time for Zhou Jin to experience such a sense of helplessness. When she heard her own son accusing herself like this, she couldn't help feeling sour, "You are all my sons, how could I harm you!"
"You didn't harm us, you just tried to stop it."
"Yes, I admit that I stopped you, but in the end, which time did I succeed?"
"Because you didn't succeed, our mother and son can still coexist peacefully to this day."
"Peaceful coexistence? Is this considered peaceful coexistence? You even said that you want to draw a line with me for the sake of a man. You think I don't like Ye Sheng, yes, I just don't like him, but from the time I saw him to Now, didn’t I say something about him? I know you like him, I know you love him, but I’m just dissatisfied that he doesn’t know how to be polite! You still protect him!!”
124 Deep Gap
"You think I'm monitoring you everywhere to control you, but after any of your accidents, I didn't come here immediately. When you grow up, you refuse to stay by my side. I can only understand your every move through them. Move, did I do it wrong? Huh?"
"When you were young, you followed your grandfather back to China. Our mother and son had no chance to get along with each other at all. Later, your grandfather passed away and you came back, but the relationship with you and me became more and more alienated. I also want to be closer to you, like Xiao Yi. Same, but how about you, you always call me mother politely, and you are not as alienated as a servant at home... I am your mother, will I harm you? Will I?"
"You blame me for preventing the third child from studying medicine, but look at him now, he has a disordered work and rest all day long, and sometimes he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat. Don't I feel bad? In the early days of your business, you worked all day without sleep and food. , Don’t I feel distressed? Why did I stop you, but I didn’t want you to work too hard? I admit that my approach was a bit extreme, but who am I for? For myself? Now you are still using this to stab me , do you think I won't hurt?"
At the end, Zhou Jin couldn't help crying.
This woman who had been strong all her life, this woman who had raised three children by herself and worked hard, showed her weak side in front of her son for the first time.
The Shen family has a great career, if she is not a strong woman, how can she support such a huge family.
But these children, except for the eldest, didn't understand her, and the second actually misunderstood her to this point.
When the third child chose to study medicine, although she did not directly object, on the one hand, it was because the third child liked it, and on the other hand, after she understood the hardships of this industry, she tried every means to stop it, including the second child. When he wanted to return to China, she did not stop him, but when she learned that he was going to start a business, she opposed it. She knew how hard it was in the early days of starting a business. She understands better than anyone else that if she starts her own business, it will only be harder, so she also tried her best to stop it.
But who is she for?For herself?
She just wanted the children to have a less difficult life in the future, but in the eyes of the children, all of this actually became the most important barrier between mother and child.
Shen Tang was stunned. This was the first time he saw his mother shed tears. He was a little at a loss. In his impression, his mother had always been the one who gave orders from above. How long ago would she show such a weak expression.
"Mother, mother." For the first time, Shen Tang was at a loss.
"Don't call me!" Zhou Jin yelled!
"I have been dignified and self-sufficient for these years, and I am also tired! I also want to cry, but I want to face everyone with a strong appearance. Now my son doesn't want me as a mother, why don't you let me vent! "Her emotions completely collapsed, and tears flowed out as if she didn't want money.
Shen Tang stood up, today's mother actually made him feel a little strange.
Zhou Jin wiped the tears from her face, "Shen Tang, get out of here! I'll pretend I never gave birth to an ungrateful person like you!"
"Mother, I'm sorry." Shen Tang walked to her side, squatted down, and covered the back of her hand with his good right hand, "I didn't know you..."
She pulled out her hand and slapped Shen Tang on the shoulder fiercely, "I don't know, I don't know that you don't know how to ask! Even if people all over the world think your mother is a bad woman, you can't think so!"
"I'm sorry, mother." Shen Tang apologized again, "But, Ah Sheng, I will never give up no matter what!"
Seeing her son who had just apologized to her, she continued to protect Ye Sheng in a blink of an eye. She was angry and anxious, and she gritted her teeth angrily, "Shen Tang!"
Shen Yi, who was driven out after hearing the movement in the living room, stood there for a while, but seeing that his second brother was so stubborn, he couldn't help but hate iron for being weak.
"Second brother, are you stupid? Now you should comfort mother, you..." Shen Yi stopped talking, and stood beside Zhou Jin quietly, "Mom, don't cry, I will always be your most caring Little cotton-padded jacket, let's ignore the big fool like the second brother."
"Mother, you have worked hard. From now on, the three of us brothers will respect you well. Don't be sad." Shen Yi stretched out his hand to pat her on the back while coaxing her.
Seeing this scene not far away, Mr. Shen almost narrowed his smiling eyes into a line. This little one is really smart. Among the three brothers, the third one is the one who can make people happy. Presumably, they are all taciturn, and the third child is a master with a glib tongue. As for the second child, although he is a genius at work, he is really awkward in dealing with the short-sightedness of these parents.
Shen Xi, who was also watching this side not far away, didn't step forward, because like his second brother, although he was good at business, they were equally helpless when it came to coaxing women.
It's just that they can only stand aside.
"Mother, I know that the second brother misunderstood you, he is confused, but you are too impulsive, look at the pale face of the second brother, and he is still injured, just now you took a picture, the second brother... "
Zhou Jin raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes were red, and seeing her second son standing here with his arms dangling awkwardly, he couldn't bear to say that he was a mother, "Go back to your room and rest."
"Mother, I'm sorry."
"Let's go!" Her voice was hoarse.
Shen Tang saw Shen Yi blinking at him, so he turned around and was about to go back to the room, but he turned the corner and saw Ye Sheng standing in the corridor.
He walked over quickly, "Ah Sheng."
Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to support Shen Tang, and the two of them returned to the room. The moment Ye Sheng closed the door, he turned around and pushed Shen Tang against the door, tipped his toes slightly, leaned forward, and kissed his lips.
Ye Sheng couldn't describe the complicated mood in his heart at this moment. How could he have made Shen Tang treat him so sincerely, even at the expense of speaking to his mother. At this moment, he was completely moved.
At the same time, I feel very sorry for Shen Tang, as he said, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, no matter what choice he makes, he is the one who gets hurt.
Shen Tang thought of him so much, so naturally he shouldn't keep silent.
Shen Tang was frightened by Ye Sheng's initiative, he was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative back, he pushed his teeth, invaded his mouth, and exchanged a deep and lingering kiss with him.
After the kiss, the faces of both of them were a little red. Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to wrap Shen Tang's waist cautiously, and slowly leaned his head on Shen Tang's chest. He was afraid of hurting Shen Tang, so he was extremely careful. Hearing the beating of Shen Tang's heart, he felt that the emotion was about to overflow his heart and fill his eyes.
It wasn't until Shen Tang felt that the clothes on his body were a little wet that he realized that Ah Sheng was crying.
The two hugged each other silently.
It wasn't until Ye Sheng stabilized his mood that he helped Shen Tang to lie down on the bed. He lay beside Shen Tang, "Shen Tang, you are so stupid."
Shen Tang remained silent, he was indeed stupid, no matter how successful his career was, he had never handled the relationship between mother and child well, in this regard, he was a failure.
"You are so stupid." Ye Sheng said.
Shen Tang still didn't speak, he just didn't want Ah Sheng to suffer a little bit of grievance, he would protect him well for his people.
But now it seems that he misunderstood his mother, and he felt a little guilty about it. What his mother said was right. He had never been close to his mother. None of them are proactive people, which created the current estrangement.
In all fairness, Ye Sheng is somewhat envious of Shen Tang, "I'm an orphan, so I envy children with parents. Shen Tang, you must cherish what you have. You must take care of your career, but you must also maintain your family relationship. With a mother like you This thing itself is very happy, you should cherish it."
"I will always stay with you."
Hearing these words, Shen Tang suddenly felt a little distressed. He half hugged Ye Sheng and said softly, "I know."
That night, the two embraced and slept without talking to each other.
125 [attitude improved]
The next morning, when Shen Tang was still sleeping, Ye Sheng dressed and went out.
because of midsummer
"He is just so casual in front of me and Xiaoyi, and he is very honest in front of my elder brother and mother. As long as I can remember, James has been working as a family doctor in my family. It is impossible for family members to get injured and sick from time to time, so that James has been idle for a long time, this time his mother deliberately brought him back, it was just an excuse to stay in the country for a while longer."
"What? Can't your mother stay in the country longer?"
"No, the main reason is that she is taking care of everything in the Shen family. When she leaves, the Shen family has no one to make decisions. Naturally, I can't leave easily, but because of my injury, it is a matter that makes everyone feel uncomfortable. An excuse that cannot be refuted."
"That James doesn't look very old."
"He is almost fifty, but he has a good mentality and pays attention to his diet, so it is understandable to look younger."
Hearing this, Ye Sheng touched his face, thinking to himself, what would he look like if he turned fifty?
"Ah Sheng, help me go back, I'm sleepy, I want to lie down for a while."
Ye Sheng got up and helped Shen Tang back to the room. After Shen Tang fell asleep, Ye Sheng propped up his upper body and sat on the head of the bed. He looked at Shen Tang's face and felt tenderness in his heart.
But when he thought of Shen Tang's mother's seemingly gentle but critical eyes, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. From Shen Tang's words, it was not difficult to see that the relationship between him and his mother was actually not close, but it seemed that he Mother also has certain requirements for his partner. He is so ordinary, how can he impress her?
What he is best at is nothing more than writing and drawing. Others are useless.
Ye Sheng felt a little worried.
Even after Shen Tang fell asleep, he couldn't fall asleep.
After thinking about it, he secretly got up and went out the door.
121 Unspeakable
Outside, the sun is shining brightly this time, and the scorching sun in July will almost melt people.
Ye Sheng stood at the door, hesitating whether to go out or not. At this moment, someone came up and asked, "Do you want to go to the vineyard?"
Ye Sheng glanced sideways and saw an old man wearing a long gown. He looked a little old, with deep wrinkles on his face. He was wearing a long cotton and linen gown and a pair of black cloth shoes, but he was in good spirits.
"is it okay?"
The old man pointed to the vineyard, "Of course, there is a gazebo in the vineyard, where you can enjoy the shade and pick grapes."
Ye Sheng took a look. The vineyard was full of dense vines and bright fruits, and there was no gazebo at all. "Then can I trouble you to show me the way?"
"I'm so happy." The old man smiled and walked towards the vineyard.
Ye Sheng followed the old man all the way forward, the sun was dazzling on the road, Ye Sheng squinted his eyes and looked around, surrounded by vines with trellises, the old man stopped suddenly, bent down and slipped through a vine, Ye Sheng There are also some who followed suit and got in. The feeling of being under the vine was cool, and the hot feeling of being exposed to the sun just now disappeared in an instant.
"Well, it's so cool."
"That's right, apart from a lot of mosquitoes, there are no other problems." The old man happily reached out and picked a bunch of round grapes. "You can also pick a bunch and eat it while walking."
Ye Sheng tilted his head and looked at the clusters of bright grapes above his head, his throat moved subconsciously, he picked a small bunch of grapes, tasted it, "Mm, it's so sweet."
"Yes, the grapes here are more than 100 years ago. The Shen family specially imported grapes from France to make wine. This variety of grapes, red or white, can be used to make wine. It's a pity that since the Shen family immigrated overseas After that, this huge vineyard was abandoned."
Ye Sheng looked around, "Abandoned? This vineyard is obviously well maintained!"
The old man smiled, "That is now."
"Come on, there is a gazebo in front of you." The old man pointed to the front, and Ye Sheng finally saw clearly that the pavilion was hidden in the vineyard, and the top of the gazebo was covered with grape vines. From a distance, he didn't know it at all. There is also a gazebo here.
Inside the gazebo, there were stone tables and benches. The old man took out a square wooden box from under the stone table. After opening it, Ye Sheng saw that it contained incense.
The old man lit the incense and put it in the corner.
During this time, Ye Sheng felt that a mosquito was biting him, he touched his neck, feeling the bite. "
Ye Sheng didn't speak, he was really spoiled and raised by Ye Lao, there is really no reason to refute this statement.
"Sit down." The old man pointed to the stone bench, then took out a round tray from under the stone table, then stood on the steps of the gazebo, picked a few bunches of grapes with excellent quality, "Eat, you're welcome .”
"thanks.
Before he knew it, he had already eaten up a small bunch of grapes. Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, he took another bunch in his hand.
"You came back with Xiao Er."
Ye Sheng didn't react for a moment.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, the old man explained, "Shen Tang."
"Yes." Ye Sheng nodded, "You are?"
"He is the grandson of my elder brother." The old man did not hide his identity.
Ye Sheng thought about it, he didn't know who was in Grandpa Shen Tang's generation, "Then what should I call you?"
"Call me the third grandpa." The old man and Shen Tang's grandfather are brothers, and he should be the only surviving elder in the current generation of the Shen family.
Because back then when the Shen family had only one family member, he was reluctant to part with the place where he was born and raised, so he stayed in the country.
And this Shen mansion has not been so lively for many years, the last time was when he came back.
"Third Master..." Ye Sheng was stunned for a while, and then called again, "Third Grandpa."
Elder Shen felt that Ye Sheng was very pleasing to the eye, and he was quite sympathetic. It was not easy for a young man to be so calm, "Seeing that you are also a sincere child, but, do you know the rules of the Shen family?"
Ye Sheng did not speak, but waited for the follow-up.
Sure enough, Elder Shen sighed quietly, "Hey, Xiaoer, he takes everything on himself, he knows that his mother won't agree with you being together."
Hearing this, Ye Sheng also grasped the point. He knew Mrs. Shen didn't like him. He could hear it from the conversation she had with Shen Tang in the morning, but she didn't express any objection, "But Mrs. Shen doesn't care about him." No objection."
"His mother is such a powerful person. She naturally knows Xiao Er's temper, and she won't refute it directly, but you may not be able to stand her tricks. If you meet her to make things difficult for you, you can tell Xiao Er everything. He'll figure it out."
"Why did you help me?"
"I have no children. Among these juniors, I like Xiao Er the most. I also hope that he can be happy. However, Xiao Er has a good vision."
Ye Sheng was a little flattered by the comfort and affection revealed in Old Shen's words, "Third Grandpa, don't make fun of me."
"Hahaha, you kid, you are really interesting."
The two chatted for a long time in the gazebo, until Shen Tang got a call, "I'm in the gazebo in the vineyard."
"Can you?"
"Or I'll come back."
"Well, then I'll wait for you."
Ye Sheng hung up the phone, but seeing Old Shen smiling, he was a little puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's really a person in love, this happiness is about to overflow."
Being teased by an old man like this made Ye Sheng feel a little uncomfortable.
"I'm not kidding you, you go pick a few more bunches of grapes, Xiao Er has liked to eat grapes here since she was a child."
Ye Sheng nodded and felt a little dizzy as soon as he stood up. The next moment, he sat back on the stone bench.
Old Shen asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it may be that I stood up suddenly after sitting for a long time, and my head is a little dizzy." Ye Sheng supported his head with his hands, adapting to the sudden dizziness.
"Then get up and walk around after a while, and I'll pick them." Although Old Shen is about to be a hundred years old, he has always been in good health, so he got up and walked out of the gazebo with a tray.
Ye Sheng stood up slowly supporting the stone table, the feeling of dizziness did not disappear, he raised his leg and took two steps slowly, but felt that the world was spinning, he also felt that something was wrong, he had no choice but to hold on The stone table continued to sit down.
Ye Sheng hadn't recovered yet, and James helped Shen Tang to reach the gazebo. James reprimanded him coldly, "Tang, you are too self-willed. It's only the third day of your fracture in such a hot day. How can you..."
"James, I know how to measure."
James moved his lips, but in the end he held back and did not refute.
"Ah Sheng." Shen Tang waved to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng supported his head, turned sideways to look at Shen Tang who was walking slowly, he wanted to get up, but he couldn't help himself, so he could only watch helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Tang noticed something strange when he got a little closer.
"I, I might be sick." Ye Sheng said with a slight frown.
Shen Tang sat down slowly, then reached out and touched Ye Sheng's forehead, "It's a little hot, do you feel any discomfort?"
"Dizziness, lack of strength." Ye Sheng wanted to put his head on the stone table so much that he felt tired even if he supported his head like this.
122 Husband Madman
"James."
James came forward and checked Ye Sheng. Suddenly, he saw a large pile of grape skins beside the stone table. He asked, "Did you eat these all by yourself?"
Ye Sheng nodded.
James couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing serious, I guess it's because I ate too many grapes."
"If you eat too many grapes, you will feel dizzy and weak?" Shen Tang obviously didn't believe it.
"You are so ignorant, you can't eat too much of these wine grapes." James pointed to the grapes around, "These are wine grapes, not like ordinary varieties. Similarly, the grapes contain a lot of sugar, plus he ate a lot of grapes, the sugar was converted into alcohol, and then he was drunk."
"Drunk?" It was Shen Tang's turn to be dumbfounded, it was the first time he heard that eating grapes made him drunk, it was incredible.
Ye Sheng shrank his neck in embarrassment, he could drink very lightly, but he didn't know that he could still get drunk if he ate too many grapes.
This is the first time I have encountered such an embarrassing thing.
Shen Tang looked at Elder Shen approaching with bunches of grapes, "Third Grandpa."
Old Shen smiled, "Here we come, let's eat some grapes."
Shen Tang waved his hand, "I don't want to eat it." Ah Sheng was already like this, he didn't have the heart to eat grapes at all.
Elder Shen looked at Ye Sheng, a little surprised, "Have you recovered yet?"
Ye Sheng was so embarrassed that he didn't want to speak, he put his hands on his head, turned his face down, and didn't look at anyone.
Shen Tang knew that he was shy, "James, help me support Ah Sheng, Third Grandpa, you are carrying the grapes, let's go back first."
"What's the situation?" Old Shen didn't know why.
Considering Ye Sheng's face, Shen Tang whispered, "We'll talk about it when we go back."
Shen Tang turned back within 10 minutes after coming out, Ye Sheng lay on the bed, dizzy, until the kitchen brought hangover soup, he drank a bowl and then fell into a deep sleep.
After this time, the Shen family began to circulate a joke, saying that grapes should not be eaten too much, otherwise you will get drunk.
Of course, Ye Sheng didn't know, no one dared to say this in front of him.
Shen Tang was lying beside him, looking at his red face, he couldn't help laughing, he was drunk after eating grapes, it was hard to say anything.
Shen Tang laughed in a low voice, just the slightest shock caused a slight pain in his chest, he stopped smiling, lay down and fell asleep with him.
When the two of them slept together, it was night.
Shen Yi came back early and wanted to find his second brother, but the servant said that the second brother had just had a rest, so he didn't bother him, but ran to the periphery of the vineyard in every possible way to pick a few bunches of grapes.
Just as he was holding grapes in one hand and throwing one into his mouth with the other, a car came from behind him and he saw a face of ice cubes, this person was the confidant of his elder brother Shen Xi's subordinates.
And Shi Yu was sitting impressively in the back seat, but his face was a little ugly.
"Stop, stop." Shen Yi stepped forward to stop the car.
"Shiyu, come down and eat grapes, these grapes are so sweet." Shen Yi said as he opened the car door, and when Shiyu got out of the car, he closed the door.
"Let's go."
Bing Lian drove away in the car.
The expression on Shen Yi's face also changed, he looked at Shi Yu nervously, "Are you okay?"
"fine."
"Mother asked Bing Cuanglian to pick you up, because she was afraid that you would run away?"
Shi Yu's face was a bit ugly, it's not that he didn't run away, it's just that he didn't run away.
"Let me tell you, Second Brother won't tell mother the reason for his injury, but you have to be calm yourself. If mother finds out, you..."
"I know." If she knew the reason why her son was injured, he would be kicked out of the Shen family.
"Come, come, eat a bunch of grapes to suppress your shock."
Shi Yu stood there without any movement, with self-blame and hesitation on his face, and Shen also knew that he was afraid of seeing his second brother get hurt.
Shen Yi sighed slightly, "Let's go, you always want to see him."
Shi Yu silently followed.
Approaching the old house, Shi Yu suddenly felt pressured, no need to look, he knew that his titular grandma must be on the way.
Stare at him.
Shi Yu raised his head and called out respectfully in Zhou Jin's direction, "Grandma."
"Shi Yu, long time no see, you've grown so tall." Zhou Jin still had a smile on her face, but she didn't hide the flash of disgust in her eyes. Yes, disgust, she never liked the child in front of her. Whether it was when I was a child or now.
When the second child brought the child back to the Shen family, she did not agree with him to adopt the child. It was only because of some things she found out later that she finally agreed to keep the child after weighing it up.
But this child is not close to the rest of the Shen family at all, he only looks kindly towards the second child, and he doesn't pay attention to the others.
It was the same at this time, although he called grandma respectfully on his face, in fact, he didn't regard her as an elder at all in his heart, and he didn't even look at her grandma seriously.
He doesn't like her, and neither does she.
Then Shi Yu looked at Shen Xi, "Uncle."
"En." Shen Xi's response was very concise.
Zhou Jin looked at Shi Yu, who was already a little upright, and her tone was as gentle as ever, "I heard from your father that you are sick, so you can stay in the house to recuperate from now on."
When Shi Yu heard the words, she subconsciously looked at Shen Tang to one side, but the latter lazily leaned on the sofa and lowered his eyes, not looking at anyone.
"Thank you grandma."
She pursed her lips and smiled silently.
"Xiao Yi, you too. Your mother is in the country these days, and you have to go home to live. Do you remember how long it has been since you had a good talk with your mother?" Zhou Jin and Shen Yi had obviously different attitudes when they spoke. The words are more intimate.
"Yes, yes, I will move into the house tomorrow and come back to live." Shen Yi cupped his hands and rubbed against Zhou Jin, "Mom, I miss you, can you make me steamed eggs with shrimps?"
"I think you don't miss me, but the steamed eggs with shrimps I made."
"Hey." Shen Yi smiled like a normal mother and child, wrapping her arms around Zhou Jin's neck coquettishly.
She didn't reprimand, after all, there are no outsiders here, so it's okay to let the child get bored once in a while, and Xiao Yi is the youngest child of the Shen family, so he will naturally treat him more favorably.
"It's hard for the whole family to get together. Boss, please tell me that the dishes in the evening should be as rich as possible, and make more of the second child's favorite food."
"kindness."
"Mother, what about me?"
"Naturally, your share is indispensable."
Shen Yi chuckled.
The dinner was rich as always, until the dinner was ready, Shen Yi went to knock on the door of Shen Tang's room, "Second Brother, it's time to eat."
Only then did a faint response come from the room, "En."
"Well, second brother, move a little faster, the third grandpa and mother have already sat down."
"understood."
Shen Tang pushed Ye Sheng who was beside him, "Ah Sheng, wake up."
Ye Sheng who woke up was a little confused, he half-opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Tang asked, "Is it better? Still dizzy?"
"kindness."
Shen Tang saw that he was not in good spirits, so he didn't say any more, "Well, then you can continue to sleep."
"Okay." Ye Sheng closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
At the dining table, everyone looked at Shen Tang who came out alone, Zhou Jin's face changed slightly, "What about him?"
"He hasn't woken up yet, let's eat first, without waiting for him." Shen Tang sat down.
Shen Yi was also a little surprised. His second elder brother was really a husband-protecting madman. He didn't see his mother's complexion changed. It was rare for everyone to gather together today. It was the first time for the second sister-in-law to have dinner with the family. No one was called up.
Shen Yi didn't dare to look up at his mother's face.
123 Cause Conflict
Shi Yu lowered his head, looked at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
Shen Xi still had an unmoved expression.
It was Mr. Shen who spoke first, "It's all my fault, I didn't stop him, that's why..."
"Third Uncle, it's none of your business." Zhou Jin naturally knew what Uncle San meant by saying this. He was obviously favoring Ye Sheng, but since he is the only elder of the Shen family's older generation, even if it was her, Not daring to disobey, she had no choice but to say generously, "Go, warm some food in the kitchen, and send it over when he wakes up."
"Yes." Hearing this, the servant turned and went to the kitchen.
Shen Tang smiled gratefully at her, "Thank you mother."
"En." She hummed softly, "Let's use your chopsticks."
The rare family dinner together ended in a silent atmosphere. Shi Yu was the first to propose to go back to rest, "Grandma, I'm a little tired and want to rest."
Zhou Jin ordered the servant, "Take the young master to the room."
"Good night grandma, good night grandpa, good night uncle, good night uncle."
"Good night, Father."
From the beginning to the end, Shi Yu didn't raise his eyes to look at Shen Tang, and after saying goodnight to everyone, he followed the servant and left.
Old Shen held his teacup and smiled kindly. He chatted with Shen Tang about family matters, "Shi Yu is a child who knows how to be polite. After all, he should also be admitted to university, right?"
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Yes, Third Grandfather."
"How did Shi Yu do in the exam?"
"The results haven't come out yet."
"What kind of university are you going to study at that time?"
"I'm going to let him apply to the military academy."
"Yes, the military academy is good, I think back then..." Old Shen said halfway, then suddenly paused, "Hey, I'm old, I always think about the past, don't talk, don't talk." He bowed his head and drank his tea.
It was Shen Xi who stood up suddenly at this time, "Second brother, since you are fine now, and mother will stay and take care of you, then I will go back first. There are still many things in the group that I need to go back to deal with."
Although Shen Tang was not close to his mother, the relationship between the three brothers was very good, so he would not be polite to his elder brother, "Let elder brother worry, you are busy with your work, mother will take care of you, so don't worry about me."
Shen Xi nodded, "Okay, mother, third grandfather, second brother, third brother, take this opportunity to say goodbye to you here today, and I will leave early tomorrow morning."
Shen Yi was a little surprised, "Brother, why don't you stay for two more days?"
"I am relieved to have my mother here."
Seeing Shen Xi's face that resembled his elder brother's, Elder Shen felt mixed feelings, "Boss, you have always been unsmiling, with a serious face since you were a child, how old are you? If you were my age, wouldn't you be so stern that no one would dare to approach you?"
Shen Xi felt helpless, he had no choice but to grow up like this, "Third Grandpa, don't make fun of me."
Old Shen naturally saw the helplessness in Shen Xi's eyes, "It's rare for brothers to get together, let's stay for two days."
Shen Xi was about to speak, but Zhou Jin opened his mouth to relieve the situation, "Okay, boss, you go back and clean up first, I'm here, and you can handle the group's affairs with peace of mind."
"Okay, mother."
After Shen Xi left, the number of people in the living room decreased again.
Shen Yi leaned over to Elder Shen, "Third Grandpa, how about I play chess with you for a while?"
"Of course, I'm worried about how to pass the time. Let's go to my study." Elder Shen was very happy to be accompanied by someone playing chess. He stood up and held Shen Yi's hand while talking, "Let's go."
"Then, mother, second brother, I'll go first."
Zhou Jin stood up, "Third uncle, go slowly."
"Xiao Yi stays with Third Grandpa well."
"Yes, I know." The divine doctor replied twice.
Now only Zhou Jin and Shen Tang's mother and son were left.
As soon as everyone left, Zhou Jin's face turned completely cold, and she said in a very displeased tone, "You should know the meaning of today's dinner, even if you are not feeling well, you can always show your face, right?"
"The day I married into Shen's family, I had a high fever of over 40 degrees. After receiving all the guests, I felt a little uncomfortable and didn't even show my face? Is this his upbringing?"
"Mother, he belongs to me. If you think his behavior is degrading, don't count me in the family banquet in the future."
"Shen Tang!" Zhou Jin suddenly snapped: "He is so rude! You are still so protective! You are so disappointing to me!"
There was no fluctuation on Shen Tang's face. He raised his eyes to look at his mother, and said slowly, "Mother, I am very serious to tell you, I know you are worried about me, but I am an adult, not a twenty-one Young boy in his early years, because of my sexual orientation, I have always made you unhappy. For this, I sincerely apologize, but, Ah Sheng is my lover. If the Shen family can't tolerate him, then they can't tolerate him I."
"You!" She pointed at Shen Tang, her fingers trembling angrily, "You really want to betray the Shen family for a man!"
Shen Tang counterattacked calmly, "Mother, it's not that I want to leave the Shen family, but that you can't tolerate him."
"What do you mean I can't tolerate him? Today is a rare day for our family to get together. If I can't tolerate him, can I get angry with you here because of his absence? He disrespects us so much! Why can't I tolerate him? "
Shen Tang was not moved, he pointed to the root of the problem, "Mother, you clearly know that he is unwell."
"Mother, he is the person I want to spend my whole life with. I just want you to understand that he is my bottom line. In this world, no one can hurt him."
"You really value him so much, for his sake, you don't hesitate to say such words that hurt your biological mother!"
Zhou Jin's dignity was completely broken, and she looked at Shen Tang with disappointment, "My son who was born in October, actually wants to draw a line with me for a man, haha..."
"Mother, I will say this to you in person today because I care about you. You are my mother, and the grace of nurturing is beyond heaven. If you really love your son, don't let him be caught in the middle. One side is a mother, the other side is a lover, no matter which side to choose, which side to give up, it is difficult for me to choose."
While angry, Zhou Jin inevitably felt a little tired, "In your eyes, am I such a mother? To achieve the goal by any means? I just expressed my dissatisfaction with his rudeness. Are you misinterpreting my meaning like this?"
"Mother, you should understand in your heart what you have done. Back then, my third brother chose a school and started a business with me..."
Zhou Jin interrupted Shen Tang, "Shen Tang! You!"
Zhou Jin was out of breath, she pointed at Shen Tang, "How can you miss me so much!?"
Shen Tang's face was calm, "If you do this, don't blame us for thinking so."
It was the first time for Zhou Jin to experience such a sense of helplessness. When she heard her own son accusing herself like this, she couldn't help feeling sour, "You are all my sons, how could I harm you!"
"You didn't harm us, you just tried to stop it."
"Yes, I admit that I stopped you, but in the end, which time did I succeed?"
"Because you didn't succeed, our mother and son can still coexist peacefully to this day."
"Peaceful coexistence? Is this considered peaceful coexistence? You even said that you want to draw a line with me for the sake of a man. You think I don't like Ye Sheng, yes, I just don't like him, but from the time I saw him to Now, didn’t I say something about him? I know you like him, I know you love him, but I’m just dissatisfied that he doesn’t know how to be polite! You still protect him!!”
124 Deep Gap
"You think I'm monitoring you everywhere to control you, but after any of your accidents, I didn't come here immediately. When you grow up, you refuse to stay by my side. I can only understand your every move through them. Move, did I do it wrong? Huh?"
"When you were young, you followed your grandfather back to China. Our mother and son had no chance to get along with each other at all. Later, your grandfather passed away and you came back, but the relationship with you and me became more and more alienated. I also want to be closer to you, like Xiao Yi. Same, but how about you, you always call me mother politely, and you are not as alienated as a servant at home... I am your mother, will I harm you? Will I?"
"You blame me for preventing the third child from studying medicine, but look at him now, he has a disordered work and rest all day long, and sometimes he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to eat. Don't I feel bad? In the early days of your business, you worked all day without sleep and food. , Don’t I feel distressed? Why did I stop you, but I didn’t want you to work too hard? I admit that my approach was a bit extreme, but who am I for? For myself? Now you are still using this to stab me , do you think I won't hurt?"
At the end, Zhou Jin couldn't help crying.
This woman who had been strong all her life, this woman who had raised three children by herself and worked hard, showed her weak side in front of her son for the first time.
The Shen family has a great career, if she is not a strong woman, how can she support such a huge family.
But these children, except for the eldest, didn't understand her, and the second actually misunderstood her to this point.
When the third child chose to study medicine, although she did not directly object, on the one hand, it was because the third child liked it, and on the other hand, after she understood the hardships of this industry, she tried every means to stop it, including the second child. When he wanted to return to China, she did not stop him, but when she learned that he was going to start a business, she opposed it. She knew how hard it was in the early days of starting a business. She understands better than anyone else that if she starts her own business, it will only be harder, so she also tried her best to stop it.
But who is she for?For herself?
She just wanted the children to have a less difficult life in the future, but in the eyes of the children, all of this actually became the most important barrier between mother and child.
Shen Tang was stunned. This was the first time he saw his mother shed tears. He was a little at a loss. In his impression, his mother had always been the one who gave orders from above. How long ago would she show such a weak expression.
"Mother, mother." For the first time, Shen Tang was at a loss.
"Don't call me!" Zhou Jin yelled!
"I have been dignified and self-sufficient for these years, and I am also tired! I also want to cry, but I want to face everyone with a strong appearance. Now my son doesn't want me as a mother, why don't you let me vent! "Her emotions completely collapsed, and tears flowed out as if she didn't want money.
Shen Tang stood up, today's mother actually made him feel a little strange.
Zhou Jin wiped the tears from her face, "Shen Tang, get out of here! I'll pretend I never gave birth to an ungrateful person like you!"
"Mother, I'm sorry." Shen Tang walked to her side, squatted down, and covered the back of her hand with his good right hand, "I didn't know you..."
She pulled out her hand and slapped Shen Tang on the shoulder fiercely, "I don't know, I don't know that you don't know how to ask! Even if people all over the world think your mother is a bad woman, you can't think so!"
"I'm sorry, mother." Shen Tang apologized again, "But, Ah Sheng, I will never give up no matter what!"
Seeing her son who had just apologized to her, she continued to protect Ye Sheng in a blink of an eye. She was angry and anxious, and she gritted her teeth angrily, "Shen Tang!"
Shen Yi, who was driven out after hearing the movement in the living room, stood there for a while, but seeing that his second brother was so stubborn, he couldn't help but hate iron for being weak.
"Second brother, are you stupid? Now you should comfort mother, you..." Shen Yi stopped talking, and stood beside Zhou Jin quietly, "Mom, don't cry, I will always be your most caring Little cotton-padded jacket, let's ignore the big fool like the second brother."
"Mother, you have worked hard. From now on, the three of us brothers will respect you well. Don't be sad." Shen Yi stretched out his hand to pat her on the back while coaxing her.
Seeing this scene not far away, Mr. Shen almost narrowed his smiling eyes into a line. This little one is really smart. Among the three brothers, the third one is the one who can make people happy. Presumably, they are all taciturn, and the third child is a master with a glib tongue. As for the second child, although he is a genius at work, he is really awkward in dealing with the short-sightedness of these parents.
Shen Xi, who was also watching this side not far away, didn't step forward, because like his second brother, although he was good at business, they were equally helpless when it came to coaxing women.
It's just that they can only stand aside.
"Mother, I know that the second brother misunderstood you, he is confused, but you are too impulsive, look at the pale face of the second brother, and he is still injured, just now you took a picture, the second brother... "
Zhou Jin raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes were red, and seeing her second son standing here with his arms dangling awkwardly, he couldn't bear to say that he was a mother, "Go back to your room and rest."
"Mother, I'm sorry."
"Let's go!" Her voice was hoarse.
Shen Tang saw Shen Yi blinking at him, so he turned around and was about to go back to the room, but he turned the corner and saw Ye Sheng standing in the corridor.
He walked over quickly, "Ah Sheng."
Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to support Shen Tang, and the two of them returned to the room. The moment Ye Sheng closed the door, he turned around and pushed Shen Tang against the door, tipped his toes slightly, leaned forward, and kissed his lips.
Ye Sheng couldn't describe the complicated mood in his heart at this moment. How could he have made Shen Tang treat him so sincerely, even at the expense of speaking to his mother. At this moment, he was completely moved.
At the same time, I feel very sorry for Shen Tang, as he said, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, no matter what choice he makes, he is the one who gets hurt.
Shen Tang thought of him so much, so naturally he shouldn't keep silent.
Shen Tang was frightened by Ye Sheng's initiative, he was stunned for a moment, then took the initiative back, he pushed his teeth, invaded his mouth, and exchanged a deep and lingering kiss with him.
After the kiss, the faces of both of them were a little red. Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to wrap Shen Tang's waist cautiously, and slowly leaned his head on Shen Tang's chest. He was afraid of hurting Shen Tang, so he was extremely careful. Hearing the beating of Shen Tang's heart, he felt that the emotion was about to overflow his heart and fill his eyes.
It wasn't until Shen Tang felt that the clothes on his body were a little wet that he realized that Ah Sheng was crying.
The two hugged each other silently.
It wasn't until Ye Sheng stabilized his mood that he helped Shen Tang to lie down on the bed. He lay beside Shen Tang, "Shen Tang, you are so stupid."
Shen Tang remained silent, he was indeed stupid, no matter how successful his career was, he had never handled the relationship between mother and child well, in this regard, he was a failure.
"You are so stupid." Ye Sheng said.
Shen Tang still didn't speak, he just didn't want Ah Sheng to suffer a little bit of grievance, he would protect him well for his people.
But now it seems that he misunderstood his mother, and he felt a little guilty about it. What his mother said was right. He had never been close to his mother. None of them are proactive people, which created the current estrangement.
In all fairness, Ye Sheng is somewhat envious of Shen Tang, "I'm an orphan, so I envy children with parents. Shen Tang, you must cherish what you have. You must take care of your career, but you must also maintain your family relationship. With a mother like you This thing itself is very happy, you should cherish it."
"I will always stay with you."
Hearing these words, Shen Tang suddenly felt a little distressed. He half hugged Ye Sheng and said softly, "I know."
That night, the two embraced and slept without talking to each other.

The next morning, when Shen Tang was still sleeping, Ye Sheng dressed and went out.
