Shen Jingyu stood up, and Su He and Du Meng both accompanied him to the door.
Su He sincerely thanked him, saying, "Brother-in-law, I didn't recognize you as my brother-in-law because of this matter. It's because I acknowledge you as my brother-in-law that I brought it up. Whether you believe it or not, I would never really betray my sister."
"Mm. Understood," Shen Jingyu replied in a deep voice. It was precisely because he saw through this that he held no resentment towards Su He.
Du Meng hesitated several times before calling out to him just as Shen Jingyu was about to leave. "Brother-in-law, I won't speak carelessly around my relatives. And I won't tell my brother about the Su Family's matters either."
Shen Jingyu turned back and gave her a long look before responding with a heavy "Mm." He then strode away; he still needed to catch up with that woman who had stormed off.
After Du Meng spoke, it seemed as if she had let out a breath of relief. She could tell that Shen Jingyu was a man of depth and wisdom, as if no scheme could escape his notice. Having grown up in the Du Family and witnessed many dark dealings, she sought a partner like Su He—naive and pure, sometimes even a bit foolish. As long as he treated her sincerely, she wouldn't mind having such a cunning relative or a treacherous brother; she was determined to spend her life with him.
Thus, the members of the Su Family would undoubtedly become her relatives in the future. She felt a sense of righteousness from them, something she was willing to protect.
Su He, on the other hand, lacked Du Meng's experiences and was quite simple-minded. He turned to Du Meng and said, "Our marriage is definitely secure this time. Our child will soon have a happy little family!"
Du Meng knew they were being selfish. Watching Su He happily caress her belly made her feel unashamedly happy.
He Xiaoqing sat at the table observing everything unfold. She took a deep breath to steady herself before getting up to clean up the mess her son had made. The young couple had been engrossed in their own world for a while before they came over to help He Xiaoqing tidy up.
Downstairs, Su Xingju had been unable to get a taxi for quite some time when Shen Jingyu finally came down. She felt that Shen Jingyu was like fate sent to her side, meant to change her and help her through her trials.
"Get in the car, Xingxing. Let's go home together."
Su Xing didn't want to hear him speak and turned away, heading off to catch a taxi elsewhere.
Seeing this, Shen Jingyu rushed over in a few quick strides, wrapping one arm around her shoulder while the other slipped beneath her knees, lifting her up effortlessly.
"Shen Jingyu! I'm over a hundred pounds! Put me down; you can't strain your injury!"
"Concerned about me?" Shen Jingyu felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Put me down now!" Su Xing's tone was extremely firm, and when she spoke, a hint of alcohol wafted from her breath.
She thought that having a few drinks today would calm her nerves, but little did she know that this woman had quietly downed more than she could handle.
Now, not only did her head throb, but she also dared not struggle in Shen Jingyu's arms.
In just a few steps, he had placed her in the passenger seat and, for safety's sake, locked the car door before moving to the driver's seat.
As Su Xing stubbornly tried to get out again, Shen Jingyu quickly started the engine.
Fortunately, he refrained from drinking; otherwise, feeling the car speed up like this would surely give Su Xing a heart attack.
"What are you doing?! Slow down! I don't want to get into an accident with you!"
Su Xing gripped the seatbelt tightly as the trees and streetlights outside blurred by at an alarming speed.
Shen Jingyu furrowed his brow and subtly eased off the accelerator.
Sometimes he really wanted to take her along and say goodbye to this world together!
In his frustration, his words dripped with cynicism.
But Su Xing was increasingly skeptical of his attitude. Since their reunion, she had gained a new understanding of him; he would never easily give up on life because he must have someone he cared about now.
"Think about yourself; don’t drag me into this! Look how free I've been these past five years without you!"
"Am I holding you back from making money or living your life?"
"I’m taking you with me! You think I’ve enjoyed these past five years without you? A life without a man isn’t living; it’s just existing."
"Even a mute could learn to be eloquent?"
"Xingxing, you need to try to believe in me!"
I have returned, the trouble beside you, and this trouble arose because of me, so I have my reasons to deal with it!
Moreover, even if it weren't through Su He, Du Gang would still come to me on behalf of that person from the Shen Family! What exactly are you calculating? Huh?
Shen Jingyu can actually understand. Su Xing's anger stems from two aspects: one is the trouble caused by Su He, and the other is the past events involving the Shen Family, like an unhealed scar on him. Scars will eventually be exposed. Yet Shen Jingyu has prepared himself to face it.
Su Xing closed her eyes, pretending to doze off. She felt irritated.
Aren't you tired of taking care of me and my family while also looking after others?
Shen Jingyu instinctively tightened his grip on the steering wheel; he wanted to explain to her. But the words that came out sounded somewhat accusatory: Ruo Xi, just consider me as her; endure her for me this once. You used to be so generous.
Su Xing replied, "You are being unreasonable."
She continued to pretend to sleep, not wanting to continue this conversation about Han Ruoxi. No matter how generous she was, she wasn't foolish enough to pay for a woman who harbored malice.
Su Xing couldn't understand why Shen Jingyu would say such a thing. He had his own status; if he loved someone else, she wouldn't lose anything either. After saying those words, Shen Jingyu suddenly realized he had misspoken. He was supposed to look after his sister, and Su Xing shouldn't have been dragged into this.
Seeing what he had just said was utterly outrageous, Su Xing seemed determined not to engage with Shen Jingyu any longer.
Upon arriving at Xing Yu Mansion, she parked the car and dashed inside, wanting to retreat to her home—her safe haven. But who was Shen Jingyu? A specially trained soldier; catching up with Su Xing was far too easy for him.
Following her upstairs, he intended to apologize in the elevator but was rejected by Su Xing.
"Xingxing, can you not care about Ruo Xi?" he began. "Between her and me—"
"Stop right there, Shen Jingyu! I don’t want to mention her. If I find out who plotted against me, I will repay them in kind. If you have the ability, then protect the person you want to protect."
After all these years in this world, I have friends and connections; I do things openly without resorting to underhanded tactics. If you have grievances or grudges, come at me directly.
As for Su He, even if you do it for him, I won't be grateful. You should take care of yourself.
Su Xing finished speaking in one breath, and the elevator arrived at the floor.
The door opened, and Su Xing walked back to his house with heavy steps.
