Chapter 9 The White Moonlight Arrives
Chapter 9 The White Moonlight Arrives
Wen Shuyi's heart was inexplicably gripped. She and Sheng Tingwang had only been intimate for one night, so why should he bear all this for her?
"If he dies, you will all be the culprits who killed him, and none of you will escape punishment."
Shen Xinwan was taken aback. "Who harmed him? He admitted it himself."
"Shen Xinwan, you made your daughter lie, you bribed Sister Xiong to give false testimony for you. If Grandpa finds out about these things, you will not only be kicked out of the Sheng family, but you will also be beaten to death. Do you believe me?"
Wen Shuyi's words.
This gave Shen Xinwan goosebumps. She stammered in denial, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"Let me tell you, Shen Xinwan, I have nothing to do with your relationship with Sheng Li because I no longer want him. But you two are trying to outmaneuver Sheng Tingwang, otherwise, neither of you will have a good ending."
Wen Shu also became ruthless.
Shen Xinwan was still a little scared.
She understood the principle that even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
"Shuyi, you're overthinking it. Sheng Tingwang is a meritorious member of the Sheng family. Grandpa Sheng dotes on Sheng Tingwang so much, of course he wouldn't kill him. He... how could he die? You can put your mind at ease."
Shen Xinwan left with her arms crossed.
Wen Shuyi could not hide her unease.
Inside the hall.
Sheng Li, holding the family law, used all his strength to strike Sheng Tingwang's back.
"Sheng Tingwang, if you're so capable, then try to hold on and not die. Let's see how long you can last."
Sheng Tingwang frowned deeply and straightened his back.
No matter how harsh the laws were on him, or how deep the wounds were, he remained unmoved.
He has nothing now, but his bones are still hard.
Old Master Sheng ultimately felt sorry for Sheng Tingwang.
Seeing the blood on his back always reminds me of the suffering he endured during those years abroad.
You can always see his father's shadow in him.
"Alright." Old Master Sheng stopped the punishment. "You've been punished, Tingwang. Since you've made a mistake, move out of Sheng Garden and reflect on your actions. Come back when you've reflected on your actions."
"Yes." Sheng Tingwang had no objection.
Sheng Li wasn't satisfied with the beating and harbored resentment. "Grandpa, we haven't even hit him a few times yet, and your favoritism is so obvious."
"He's in poor health, do we really have to beat him to death?"
"Then... after Sheng Tingwang leaves the Sheng family, shouldn't he be made to support himself?" He wanted to see how the useless Sheng Tingwang would survive without a penny. "If you show him favoritism, you might not be able to win people's hearts in the future."
Old Master Sheng's face was grim.
This grandson will never understand the principle of leaving a way out so that you can meet again.
He didn't speak.
Sheng Li assumed that the old man had agreed.
She helped him walk outside, saying, "Grandpa, please take it easy."
……
I saw Grandpa Sheng and his son Sheng Li come out.
The people outside didn't ask any further questions.
The old man glanced at Wen Shuyi, his voice deep yet authoritative, "Since this has happened, let's just call off your marriage with Sheng Li. Let's find a day for both families to sit down and talk things over, and that will be the end of it."
Wen Shuyi was about to agree.
Sheng Li's voice rang out again, "Grandpa, I don't agree. I don't mind Shu Yi. She has taken good care of me these past two years. I can't bear to be separated from her. I think our relationship can still be repaired. It's just a difficult period to get through. Grandpa, I still want to marry Shu Yi."
Wen Shu had no idea what Sheng Li was up to.
But she knew he had no good intentions.
"Grandpa, I..."
Wen Shuyi's words were interrupted again.
"Grandpa, who doesn't make mistakes? Besides, this time, even if you're not careful, you're still at fault. I hope you can give her a chance, Grandpa, I'm begging you."
talking.
Sheng Li knelt down before Old Master Sheng in front of everyone.
His sincerity was astonishing.
Zhou Wenyue couldn't help but tease, "Ah Li, I didn't expect you to be so devoted. Wen Shuyi has already become Sheng Tingwang's woman, and you still want her? You're still young, aren't you? You've got a big heart."
Mother Li Shuping looked unwell.
Sheng Zongjie had the same idea, but thinking about his upcoming promotion and the need to get the Wen family's support, he couldn't help but speak up for his son, "Dad, A-Li is deeply in love with Shu-Yi. I've seen everything they've done over the past two years. It's okay if he makes a mistake. As long as Shu-Yi repents and they still love each other, they will definitely be able to stay together happily."
Father and son begged for mercy together.
Old Master Sheng, of course, wouldn't insist on being the villain who breaks up a loving couple. "Since that's the case..."
"Grandpa, I don't want to..." Wen Shuyi didn't want this opportunity either.
She wanted to escape this place right now, immediately, not even for a moment longer.
"Shuyi, since Ali doesn't mind, just get along with him properly. Our Sheng family isn't one to hold a grudge." Sheng Zongjie interrupted Wen Shuyi impatiently. "You've always been a sensible and good child. For the sake of our two families, let's just let this matter go."
That sounds a bit odd.
It all seemed like they were giving Wen Shuyi another chance to marry into the Sheng family.
But she really didn't want it.
"Uncle Sheng..."
Grandpa Sheng raised his hand, indicating that the matter was no longer under discussion. "You young people, take care of yourselves. We'll discuss marriage again once your relationship is stable."
Grandpa Sheng left together with his children.
Wen Shuyi remained in the same place.
She wanted to go and see how Sheng Tingwang was doing.
"Tingwang".
The voice of a young, pleasant girl.
Wen Shu also turned her head.
What a beautiful girl.
Her skin was fair and cool-toned, her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as an ink painting, and the touch of cherry blossom pink on her lips was just right.
She had never seen this person before.
The girl ignored the people present.
He pushed open the door with a look of anxiety and went inside.
"Tingwang, I'm here."
Does she know Sheng Tingwang?
Just as Wen Shuyi was about to go in, Sheng Li raised his hand to stop her. "Do you know who this person is? Her name is Xu Chuyin. She is Sheng Tingwang's white moonlight. During the years when Sheng Tingwang was a special forces soldier abroad, she was always by his side. Sheng Tingwang has an almost abnormal dependence on her. Shuyi, you have no chance."
For some reason, Wen Shuyi's heart felt a sudden clench.
The fingertips gripping the door slowly softened.
I can't quite describe the feeling, it was just...uncomfortable.
"Why are you telling me all this? My relationship with Third Master isn't like yours with Shen Xinwan."
Sheng Liqi's expression changed slightly. "Xinwan and I... I just felt sorry for her raising the child alone, and I also wanted to do something for my deceased friend so that he could rest in peace. Why do you always say things like that?"
Wen Shu also looked at Sheng Li with confusion.
Even now, he's still making excuses about these things. What's the point?
"Sheng Li, you don't actually want to get back together with me, do you?"
"I told you, I don't look down on you." He looked like he wanted the person to be grateful.
Wen Shuyi felt nauseous at the sight. "I despise you. I'll say it again, we've already broken up. Get out of here."
"Wen Shuyi, I don't expect you to be grateful, but you need to know your limits and have some self-respect. Sheng Tingwang is not your type at all. He's just playing you. He loves Xu Chuyin very much, the kind of love he'd give his life for. Do you really have to act so worthless?"
These words stung Wen Shuyi.
She glared at Sheng Li, a fierce glare.
During their eye contact, Sheng Li finally softened his stance. "Shu Yi, if you feel wronged by Sheng Ting taking advantage of you, I can call the police now. As long as you say he raped you, he'll have to go to jail."
