After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: The Crazy and Pretentious Brother

The sound of shattering just now was clearly from a vase.

As Lu Sheng opened the bedroom door, she saw the porcelain vase that had been on the bedroom windowsill, now broken into large and small pieces all over the floor.

Juanjuan stood in front of Chen Shu, her hands holding a sharp-edged shard stained with fresh blood, her shoulders violently shaking at this moment.

Her eyes were wide open, seemingly full of disbelief.

And standing in front of her, Chen Shu’s right arm had its clothing torn by the shards. Or rather, his right forearm was cut open by the shard, leaving a frightening wound about twenty centimeters long.

The originally pure white shirt was instantly soaked and spread by the blood gushing from the wound.

Even though Chen Shu covered the wound with his other hand, a large amount of blood still seeped through his fingers, dripping onto the floor.

This is...

This scene was simply shocking.

Lu Sheng hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.

Weren’t these siblings just chatting? Did Juanjuan break the vase and then pick up the pieces to cut Chen Shu? But why would Juanjuan do that, was she provoked?

"...Juanjuan, what happened to you?"

Lu Sheng took a deep breath, calling out instinctively.

Hearing Lu Sheng’s voice, Juanjuan’s body trembled involuntarily, and the shard in her hand clattered to the ground.

She turned her head to look at Lu Sheng, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, appearing panicked and at a loss, her body even a bit unstable, "Sister, I..."

"Don’t step on the shards," Lu Sheng quickly went over to support her and asked, "What happened? Did you cut your brother? Did something happen?"

"I..." Juanjuan looked at the continuously bleeding wound on Chen Shu opposite her, her face pale as she opened her mouth, "I didn’t, I..."

Juanjuan didn’t know how to explain, but she really hadn’t intended to cut her brother.

When she first entered the room, she felt resistant because of that deep-seated fear inside her, but later, seeing this man claiming to be her brother, who was elegant and gentle in demeanor and very patient in telling her about their past, Juanjuan couldn’t help feeling confused.

Her memories were already blurred and chaotic, she thought, maybe she had mixed up the memories of being locked in the basement by the human trafficker, or maybe she had mistaken her brother for someone from a movie or TV show she had watched before.

Because her sister said that she was the only relative her brother had in the world and that he had been searching for her whereabouts and had traveled thousands of miles to Jiang City.

Since her brother cared about her so much, how could he possibly do anything to harm her? So Juanjuan gradually let down her initial guard and vigilance.

She carefully listened to her brother, until her brother said he wanted to take her back to Suli, then she began to resist again.

Her sister was the angel who saved her, she had been very happy every day in Jiang City. Even though her brother said that once she returned to Suli, she would be the most prestigious girl in the whole country, she didn’t want to go back at all.

However when she said she didn’t want to go, her brother’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and his tone firm, he firmly pressed down on her shoulders and said she must return with him.

Her shoulders hurt from her brother’s pressing, and that instinctual fear welled up inside her again. Struggling and stepping back, she accidentally knocked the vase to the ground.

The moment her brother let go, she almost reflexively bent down, picked up a shard from the ground and aimed it at her brother, wanting to keep him away from her for a moment.

But to her surprise, just a second before her sister came through the door, her brother suddenly grabbed her hand holding the shard and slashed it fiercely onto his own arm!

In an instant, blood gushed out.

That nearly twenty-centimeter long wound was deep and long, and she was scared to the point of speechlessness.

She didn’t know why her brother would deliberately grab her hand to cut himself, could it be because she didn’t listen to him, so he was angry?

Juanjuan could only say "I didn’t...", but couldn’t come up with anything else.

Seeing this, Chen Shu took the initiative to speak: "I’m fine, Christine didn’t do it on purpose."

Chen Shu’s arm was still bleeding, but his expression remained tender, filled with pity and tolerance for his sister.

"I was too anxious just now, I said I wanted to take her back to Suli as soon as possible, but she couldn’t bear to leave you, so she refused to go."

"I’m sorry... Christine, it’s all my brother’s fault."

"You’ve been through so much and lost your memory, brother suddenly found you, I should have given you a chance to adapt."

Chen Shu looked at Juanjuan, his tone was as tender as an elder brother who loves and accommodates his sister.

Even though he was injured by his sister with a vase shard, he was still the first to reflect on himself.

Chen Shu’s behavior was impeccable, but for a moment, Lu Sheng still felt something strange.

Because if it was her in the room today, whether it was Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, or Fifth Brother, no matter how much they wanted her to do something, they would never put it above her will, nor would they trigger her to make a rebellious action such as slashing with shards.

Although Juanjuan was frightened and uneasy, she was kind-hearted and timid, usually not even daring to point a knife at a live fish, so how could she suddenly slash her own brother with a shard?

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and looked up at Chen Shu, saying, "Anyway, let’s treat the wound first. We have a medicine kit at home, I’ll help you stop the bleeding."

"Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you." Hearing this, Chen Shu’s voice was tender and light again, with a gentle smile on his face.

Sitting on the living room sofa, the medicine kit was placed by his side. Lu Sheng cut off the blood-stained half of Chen Shu’s sleeve with scissors, then bent down to help him rinse the wound.

When the disinfectant poured onto the wound and the blood mixed down, it hurt everyone who saw it, but Chen Shu didn’t utter a sound.

Lu Sheng worked briskly, quickly rinsing the wound, and then started to wrap Chen Shu’s arm with gauze.

The gauze was wound around Chen Shu’s long arm, secured with a knot at the end. After treating the wound, Lu Sheng looked up, only to find Chen Shu intently watching her.

He had been watching for quite some time.

"...What is it? Is there something on my face?" Lu Sheng touched her face subconsciously.

"Of course not," perhaps because of his exceptionally beautiful eyes, the intense gaze seemed inherently tender and affectionate.

"I was just thinking, Christine doesn’t want to go back to Suli with me because you are here."

"Shengsheng, would you like to come to Suli for a travel break?" Chen Shu’s eyes were like streams of spring water, his tone gentle and gentlemanly, "If you would join us to Suli, I think Christine definitely won’t resist going back home with me again."

"And I could also offer you the most perfect travel experience. You only need to be willing, private plane, manor castle, visiting the best delicious, fun, and beautiful places across the country... Whatever it is, I’ll arrange it all for you."

Is Chen Shu inviting her to Suli?

Lu Sheng paused her actions.

Just at that moment, her phone suddenly rang, showing the caller was Huo Yu.

Lu Sheng stood up, saying to Chen Shu, "Sorry, I’m going to take a call next door."

"Okay," Chen Shu smiled and nodded.

Lu Sheng walked a few steps to the side of the living room, and answered the phone, hearing Huo Yu’s voice on the other end: "I’ve found the information you asked for help investigating."

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but grip her phone tighter: "Yes?"

"That Gu Siyu, indeed she was instructed to approach Li Muchen and you," Huo Yu spoke through the phone.
