Chapter 524: 524, Whether we did right or wrong, we know it in our hearts.
There was a sarcastic glint in Shi Yuhuan’s eyes. He teased, “Guozheng, you have always been brave yet insightful. You even planned Annuo’s wedding perfectly. How is it that you can’t even hold a cup of wine steady now, hm?”
Shi Guozheng tensed up. He was so scared, “Brother, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
Shi Yuhuan smirked, half-smiling, half-mocking, “You don’t understand? Xu Meili spent the past couple of days as my guest, and she has told me everything she needed to. Do you want me to repeat every single word she said to me?”
Whilst trying to suppress his trembling heart, Shi Guozheng summoned up the courage to meet Shi Yuhuan’s gaze, “Brother, if you have something to say, just say it straight. I dislike beating around the bush.”
“Beating around the bush, do you think I need to?” Shi Yuhuan’s gaze narrowed slightly, his face expressionless.
Knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, Shi Guozheng decided to strike first, “If Annuo did nothing wrong, there would be no need for fear of sabotage. Should he have made a mistake, even if I did not intervene, Han Qianqian would still find out, and that would cause trouble!”
Having said everything he intended to in one breath, Shi Guozheng’s fear only crept back afterwards. He glanced at Shi Yuhuan’s cold, icy gaze, and dropped his head in fright, not daring to meet his eyes again.
At times, he was truly envious of Shi Annuo. Why did he have a brother like Shi Yuhuan?
If Shi Yuhuan was his own older brother, how great that would be. Everything would have been perfect. He wouldn’t need to do anything, make any effort at all. Shi Yuhuan would have prepared everything and offered it all to him on a silver platter.
Shi Yuhuan coldly scrutinized him, then said after a moment, “Whether Annuo did wrong or not, the both of us are very clear on. Who the child belongs to, both of us are also very clear on that!”
“Of course the child is Annuo’s. Annuo is a man, he should know what he has done. You could ask him yourself.” Shi Guozheng was stubbornly unyielding.
Shi Yuhuan sneered, “Regardless of whether that child has anything to do with Annuo or not, it absolutely cannot be kept. Which is why I have already taken care of it for her. I trust you have no objections.” 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Shi Guozheng’s eyes widened in shock, his gaze locked on Shi Yuhuan, “What do you mean by ‘taken care of’?”
“What’s wrong? You can’t bring yourself to let go, Guozheng? Could it be that this child has something to do with you.” Shi Yuhuan asked indifferently, his eyes slightly narrowed, radiating danger.
In that moment, Shi Guozheng felt like he had just swallowed his own tooth with a mouthful of blood.
He was about to jump up in outrage, but forcefully restrained himself, “No, it’s just – brother, it’s just an unborn child. How could you do such a heinous act?”
Shi Yuhuan nonchalantly responded, “I’ve already done so many bad things. What difference does one more make?”
Furious, Shi Guozheng threw his hand up, flinging the glass of wine at Shi Yuhuan, “Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
As if he had anticipated this move, Shi Yuhuan easily dodged.
He calmly stared at Shi Guozheng, “Isn’t this your father’s retribution? That child – do you truly wish for him to be born? Guozheng, since you’ve asked me not to beat around the bush, why put on a show in front of me.”
“I…” Shi Guozheng was at a loss for words.
That child, Xu Meili’s child, he had never truly considered allowing him to be born. He, Shi Guozheng, would never allow the birth of this child to influence his future.
But no matter how much he wished for the child not to be born, he could not stomach Shi Yuhuan’s cruelty.
