Chapter 291 - 115 Snakes have come out of the hole, do not cross the bottom line_2
Yun Shu’s eyes were cold as she stared at the tall man before her, temples streaked with gray, skin etched with fine lines, yet his handsome features remained undiminished. In fact, compared to his scholarly and gentle appearance in his youth, he now seemed even more mature and weather-beaten. Those eyes were just as she remembered: clear, soft, and always harboring a hint of indulgent affection...
"Brother An?" Her thin lips curled into a smile, but it seemed so cold.
The man’s eyes brightened, "Shu’er, have you remembered me?"
"If you want to pick up, go find some young girl. I don’t have the time to play with you. Get out of my way," her tone was cold as ice.
The light in the man’s eyes faded bit by bit, like a puppet whose strings had been cut, no longer showing any sign of life. His pupils were dimmed and lonely, making Yun Shu’s heart tighten unconsciously, but she was the first to turn her head away.
"Shu’er, are you still blaming me? It was all my fault back then. I shouldn’t have pressured you, but I’ve been punished. All these years, there hasn’t been a day when I haven’t missed you. Can’t you forgive me?"
Yun Shu sneered and brushed away his outstretched hand, "Don’t touch me with your dirty hands, Su Antong. Decades ago you were unworthy, and now you’re even less so. Get away from me, or don’t blame me for being rude."
Without giving him another glance, she turned and quickly walked away.
The man narrowed his eyes as he watched Yun Shu’s retreating figure, touched his chin, and a trace of sarcasm passed through his eyes.
I’m not worthy, who in this world is?
Lady He watched as Yun Shu, having returned from the restroom, became exceedingly cold and couldn’t help feeling frightened.
"Lady... Lady Yun, what’s the matter?" Lady He asked timidly, her heart filled with both fear and hatred for this woman.
"Think about what I said earlier, Lady He. I will come to find you again," she said as she tossed a few hundred-yuan bills, picked up her purse, and left without looking back.
Lady He’s face stiffened. Showing off, are you? Just because you’re rich?
In the car back home, Yun Shu leaned back in her seat with a tired expression and gently closed her eyes.
"Shu’er... you are so beautiful. When you grow up, I want to marry you as my bride."
"Brother An, you’re not allowed to talk to other girls, not even a glance, or else... or else I’ll kill you."
"Okay, okay, whatever Shu’er says..."
She suddenly became restless, as if she had dreamed something unpleasant, her face filled with fright, but she was trapped in the dream, struggling to wake up.
"I don’t love you, Su Antong. I have someone I love. For him, I’m willing to give up everything, so from now on, you’d better not show up in front of me."
"Why did you deceive me? I pawned my mother’s heirloom to prepare our wedding home. Why, why are you telling me now that you’ve fallen in love with someone else? What do you take me for?"
"Ah... what are you going to do...."
The dream abruptly ended there.
Yun Shu suddenly opened her eyes.
"Ma’am, we’ve arrived home," the driver’s respectful voice came from the front seat.
Yun Shu closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, expressionless as she got out of the car and walked with dignity into the living room.
Yun Ya was watching TV in the living room. On the screen was Kang Jinse participating in a variety show—a hugely popular program in the country known for playing pranks on celebrities. Kang Jinse was the guest of this episode, thoroughly tricked by the host and eventually tossed into a mud pit, emerging with a shout, her image completely in disarray.
Tsk tsk, like making a monkey perform. Yun Shen and Yun Shu should really take a good look.
At the sound of footsteps, Yun Ya turned with a smile, "Grandma, you’re back."
Yun Shu’s gaze fell on the television screen, just as Kang Jinse was covered in mud, crying without a care for her image.
Yun Shu frowned slightly.
Glancing at the television, Yun Ya laughed, "Isn’t Aunt Jiang quite determined? Almost forty and still working so hard. She could have just stayed beside dad and been a good wife and mother. Oh, but I forgot, she’s neither a good wife nor a good mother. Perhaps the term ’comfortable mistress’ is more fitting, or is it that the allowance dad gives isn’t enough, and that’s why she’s pushing herself so hard?"
Yun Shu shot Yun Ya a glance and sat down opposite him. "Witty and sharp-tongued; it’s a pity not to pursue comedy."
"It’s all thanks to Grandma’s excellent genes," he replied with a tone rich in sarcasm.
At that moment, Aunt Li placed the freshly brewed Chrysanthemum Tea in front of Yun Shu, "Madam."
"Enough with the lip service. I’m asking you, why are you not attending school? What kind of example is it to idle away your days?" Saying this, she gently flicked the tea lid to scatter the flower petals, her movements both classical and graceful, truly a pleasing sight.
