Chapter 5: The Explosive Revelation
The information in this statement was too explosive.
I blurted out, “Shen Ke and Bai Wenyan, were they lovers?”
“Yes,” Xin Yu looked me in the eyes and nodded, “It’s no secret, the whole family knows.”
I was stunned.
It’s not that I never thought of this aspect.
It’s just that the gap between the two people was too obvious.
Shen Ke is handsome and has been studying painting since he graduated from the art school, with an artist’s transcendent temperament.
Bai Wenyan is three years older than Shen Ke, dropped out of college, got married and had a daughter. Perhaps because of the rough life, she looks much older than her actual age.
Such two people even stand together with a sense of disconnection.
I was still digesting the information in Xin Yu’s words.
She continued, “They were in love online back then, and my brother loved her to death, but Bai Wenyan turned around and hooked up with a married man. Because of this, my brother didn’t even want to go to school and wanted to find her regardless…”
Speaking of this, she paused and looked at my expression.
Seeing no emotional fluctuations, she continued with a smile.
“After my mother knew about this, she advised him not to mess with Bai Wenyan… Although she is Shen Ke’s stepmother, she has always been sincere to him. But guess how Shen Ke treated her?”
Xin Yu looked at me, a hidden hatred on her face.
“He was furious and pushed my mom down the stairs.”
“My mom’s leg still hurts on rainy days.”
“Sister, I tell you these things to let you know that Shen Ke, this ungrateful person, is not worthy of you.”
…
It wasn’t until Xin Yu left for a while that I was still shocked by the information in her words.
If all this is true, then Bai Wenyan’s husband’s death was just an accident?
I immediately contacted my detective friend.
“Hey, Lao Zhou, please help me check something…”
Just then, Shen Ke’s call came in abruptly.
In an instant, a surge of hatred welled up in my heart.
This dirty man, on the one hand, morally kidnaps me in the name of atonement, and on the other hand, he keeps his dirty love history with his ex around, openly flirting under my nose.
How disgusting.
And how heart-wrenching!
If I let him go easily, how can I be worthy of myself who was played like a fool?
I picked up the phone –
“Hello?”
On the other end, Shen Ke almost scolded me in a commanding tone.
“Le Ning, withdraw the report immediately! Is it worth calling the police for a child breaking cosmetics?”
He’s really looking for death!
But I will not only get this money but also make him regret it.
Hearing Bai Wenyan’s sobbing faintly from the other end of the phone, I made sure she was also listening to the conversation, and I lightly said, “You are now a new painter, and a hundred thousand or so is just a few paintings for you, of course, you don’t care. But I’m different, I’m a hardworking person, how can I compare with you?”
Shen Ke enjoyed my flattery very much.
His tone softened down: “Okay, okay, it’s my fault, I will accompany you shopping more in the future, as long as you like, I will buy it for you.”
I smiled.
Just praise him casually, and he really takes himself seriously.
He doesn’t know that his reputation as a new painter is just me pulling relationships to help him build up.
I can make him, and I can also let him fall into the abyss.
And Bai Wenyan’s reaction made me more satisfied –
After hearing about Shen Ke’s ability to make money, she was indeed anxious.
Afraid that we will reconcile.
She hurriedly interrupted:
“Shen Ke, how can the trouble Suisu made let you pay for it?”
“Miss Lin is already making a fuss with you, and if you protect Suisu again, she will be even more unhappy.”
Her voice raised a bit, not allowing me to speak, and continued to say:
“One’s own actions, one’s own responsibility, I will not owe a cent.”
“I just hope Miss Lin will stop being aggressive, Suisu was just scratched by your dog, and had to go get a shot overnight, and has suffered a lot. Now she thinks the police are going to arrest her… The child is still young, how can she stand such intimidation?”
She is really an old green tea from 1982.
In one sentence, she reminded Shen Ke that I had just made a fuss with him, and reminded me –
Dou Dou was thrown down the fifth floor.
I thank her for her reminder.
Thank her for reminding me to always remember to let these two scumbags pay the price.
The fish has taken the bait.
I hung up the phone, waiting for her to take the initiative to send money.
