Sinister Ex-Girlfriend

Chapter 120: The return of the legitimate daughter (16)

Su Wan slept soundly all night. When she got up in the morning for dinner, she thought she was going to be tutored by Mrs. Liu again. As a result, Su Wan did not see Mrs. Liu's figure. She only found out after asking the housekeeper. Mrs. Liu went to Huangjue Temple early in the morning with her personal maid.

Burn incense and pray?

Well, in addition to horse-drawing, Mr. Liu does have such a hobby. He likes to pray to Buddha and ask for fortune-telling.

Su Wan guessed that Ms. Liu must have asked for the signature for her own sake, but this time Ms. Liu was destined to be disappointed...

It was almost noon, and Mrs. Liu still had not returned, but the Marquis of Jingning welcomed a foreigner.

Shen Yushu.

Su Wan had long forgotten what Mrs. Liu said yesterday. When the steward came to report that Mr. Shen was visiting, Su Wan remembered what Mr. Liu had said yesterday about Shen Yushu's visit.

Leaving Wen Yu to guard the yard, Su Wan took Wen Yue to the reception room of the Hou Mansion. Shen Yushu was sitting there upright, holding a teacup in his hand, with a calm and indifferent expression on his face.

"Master Shen, you are here!"

As soon as Su Wan entered the door, she greeted Shen Yushu. Her tone was neither salty nor cool, and she lacked the familiarity of the past.

Shen Yushu was startled when he heard Su Wan's voice. In the past, whenever they met, Su Wan would always call her "Brother Yushu" or "Brother Yushu". Because of their engagement, Shen Yushu did not specifically ask her to change her title, but Su Wan's attitude today was obviously a bit unfamiliar. This sudden unfamiliarity made Shen Yushu feel a little uncomfortable.

"Su...Miss Su."

After hesitating, Shen Yushu still used the honorific title as usual. In fact, at this moment, Shen Yushu remembered that the two of them had known each other for so many years, and it seemed that he had never taken the initiative to get close to her, and he had never even called her by her first name. …

The two were nominally an unmarried couple, but the two of them were sitting in the hall in an extremely cold mood. Su Wan stopped speaking, and Shen Yushu didn't know what to say.

When he was at home, he obviously wanted to come to Jingninghou Mansion to see her and ask about her current situation, but now when he faced those strange and indifferent eyes, Shen Yushu suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Neither of them spoke. Su Wan just sat upright on the wooden chair, while Shen Yushu kept sipping the tea. It wasn't until the cup of tea was finished that Su Wan raised his eyes. Looking at Shen Yushu sitting aside: "How about this tea?"

"ah?"

Shen Yushu was stunned again. He was so preoccupied that he didn't even care about this cup of tea.

"I……"

Seeing that he was speechless and embarrassed, Su Wan couldn't help but smile: "Master Shen, don't be nervous. I see that you have been drinking tea. If you like it, I will ask my servant to make you a few more cups."

"No, no need."

Shen Yushu put down the tea cup and looked at Su Wan's smiling face with gentle eyes: "Actually, the reason why I came here today is... to see you."

Shen Yushu had never paid close attention to Su Wan before, but since the last time he came into contact with her at the hunting ground, Shen Yushu could always inadvertently think of this girl who had a bright smile and was careless in her actions.

The relationship between people is so delicate. When you don't care about the other person, you can't see it no matter how much they do. When you really care about it, you will start to worry about gains and losses.

Shen Yushu felt that Su Wan was a little cold towards him now. Could it be because he was alienated from her in the past?

"Look at me?"

Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Su Wan lowered his eyes, seeming a little worried: "Mr. Shen, actually I also... I just have something to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

After hearing Su Wan's words, Shen Yushu turned his head and looked at Su Wan seriously.

"I think……"

Su Wan finally slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yushu with complicated eyes: "I want... I want... to break off the engagement!"

After saying this hesitantly, Su Wan leaned back on the chair, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

break off an engagement?

Shen Yushu stood up suddenly and looked at Su Wan in disbelief: "What did you say? You want to... break off the engagement with me?"

Shen Yushu's question was full of disbelief. At this time, his bright eyes were staring at Su Wan's eyes unblinkingly: "Why? Why do you want to break off the engagement?"

At least, she should give him a clear answer.

"No reason, I just... don't like you anymore. I've always liked you so much, but you don't like me. I feel very tired."

Su Wan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yushu without flinching: "I also want to find a husband who loves me and treats me well."

She said this with such sincerity that her eyes turned red involuntarily.

Shen Yushu's heart trembled, and he looked at Su Wan guiltily: "Actually, I can also..."

I can also be nice to you.

"Too late."

Su Wan stood up slowly and interrupted Shen Yushu's words: "Some things have happened and can never be undone. Shen Yushu, you and I are destined to miss each other in this life. I am a little tired, so I won't send you off."

Without waiting for Shen Yushu's reaction, Su Wan took Wen Yue away slowly without hesitation.

In the empty living room, Shen Yushu stood still for a long time, his slender figure looking a little lonely at this moment...

…………

Qingchuan Hou Mansion.

Shen Qingjin heard about Shen Yushu's visit to Su's house early in the morning, and she had been restless because of it. Just when Shen Qingjin was racking her brains to think of how to reveal Su Wan's "true face" in front of Shen Yushu, Shen Yushu had already returned with the boy in a daze.

"Brother?"

When Shen Qingjin saw Shen Yushu passing by her courtyard, she immediately rushed to Shen Yushu with her skirt in hand: "Brother, didn't you go to Su's house? Why are you back so soon?"

Su family...

Hearing Shen Qingjin mention the Su family, Shen Yushu's face immediately turned ugly.

Shen Qingjin's eyes flashed, and as usual, he raised his hand and hugged Shen Yushu's arm and continued with an "innocent" expression: "It's already lunch time. The Jingning Marquis Mansion is so rude. It doesn't even know that the elder brother Liu is here." Will you have a meal at my house?"

After saying this, Shen Qingjin pouted deliberately, and the expression on his face became very angry: "I originally thought that Miss Su was the only one in Jingninghou's house who was so willful, but I didn't expect that their house would treat guests like this. I obviously don’t take you seriously, brother!"

"enough!"

Shen Yushu suddenly interrupted Shen Qingjin's words loudly. In Shen Qingjin's memory, his brother had never spoken to him in such a fierce tone in the past two lives. This time he was actually cruel to her? And it’s about the Su family?

For a moment, Shen Qingjin felt even worse. She pursed her lips, and mist formed in her eyes: "Brother, you actually hurt me for others? Did I say something wrong? No one in the entire imperial capital knows about Miss Su. You are just a idiot! Their family is trying too hard to get married to ours! I...I just don’t like the Su family, let alone Su Wan, she is not good enough for her brother at all!"

At this time, Shen Qingjin simply took advantage of the topic and burst into tears at Shen Yushu. She knew that her brother had always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and loved her the most. Maybe because of this matter, he would reconsider her marriage to the Su family.

only……

After hearing Shen Qingjin's words, Shen Yushu froze in place——

Worthy or not?

Even if everyone in the entire aristocratic circle of the imperial capital felt that Su Wan was not worthy of him, so what?

Now, it was Su Wan who wanted to break off the engagement, and he suddenly felt at a loss.

Without the annoyance and anger of having the engagement broken off, Shen Yushu would feel very guilty whenever he thought of what Su Wan had said, as well as her expression and eyes at that time——

No matter how willful or disrespectful she is in the eyes of others.

At least, she had tried so hard to like him and done many things for him that others considered wishful thinking.

But he never seemed to give her any response.

Therefore, even if everyone in the world has the right to laugh at her, only Shen Yushu has no right to look down on that woman...
