"Nothing. Have you been in the United States all this time?" he asked me again.
I nodded.
He smiled at me very gently. "I don't know why," he said.
"Maybe it's because I'm very similar to my sister, but she seems... "I'm not too happy to accept me." "No," I said.
"Her personality has changed so much. If it were before, she would definitely have accepted you with magnanimity." Sheng Yun said, and then said, "It's okay, take it slow. In a few days, I'll take you to see my two darlings. "
"Really?" I asked, pleasantly surprised.
If only I could see my two children! Although I don't have any memories anymore, I know that it is my bloodline. How could I not be excited at the thought of him taking me to them!
"Mmm, my son Zaizai is in kindergarten now, and my daughter, Jin, has just learned how to walk. They are all very cute, but their mother... I don't really care about them right now. " At this point, Sheng Yun became even more depressed.
"Didn't you try to communicate with her?" I asked, puzzled.
"Arguing as soon as we communicate. I don't want to argue in front of my children, so I didn't lower myself to her level." Sheng Yun said in distress.
"Then have you ever thought about …" Perhaps her heart is not in the family? " I said again.
"I know she's not in the mood for family now, and my feelings for her are fading. To her now, it was more of a responsibility. If your relationship with your sister gets better in the future, I hope you won't tell her these things, okay? " Sheng Yun said.
"Are you afraid she will be sad?" "No," I said.
Sheng Yun nodded and said dejectedly, "That's right. After all, she is my most beloved woman."
When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, I wished that I could recover all of my memories. I wished that I could tell him that I was the woman he loved!
But I can't, I can only say implicitly: "In fact, sometimes people change is changed, even to the people around, should also be a little wary."
"As long as she doesn't cross my bottom line, I won't do anything to her. "I just feel heartbroken, heartbroken that we had such a good relationship, and now it has become like this." Sheng Yun said.
"I suppose your heart must be in pain? Big brother, why don't you eat the medicine she gave you? " I asked again, tentatively.
I thought that he would tell me about it too, but unexpectedly, my question caught him off guard.
He reached out and touched my head. "Little Shu, don't ask so many questions. There are a lot of things you don't know about business. But you're right, sometimes people change. No matter how much you liked her, you have to be prepared to let go at any time. "
I was secretly surprised by his words, and as we chatted, we came to the door of what he called the Light Boat Hotel.
Only then did I realize that the Light Boat Restaurant was not a real restaurant, but a cruise liner. It was floating on the lake, and its exterior was filled with lanterns. It looked extremely quaint.
"So it's a boat. Are we going to eat on it?" I asked, jumping out of the car in excitement.
"Yes, all the dishes on this ship are private. They taste good and the location is hard to reserve. You can enjoy the evening. " Sheng Yun said with a smile.
The evening wind was blowing gently, and his hair was trembling slightly in the wind. Behind him, the reeds were fluttering in the wind, and he was holding a suit in his hand. His white shirt was filled with the wind, and he just stood there and smiled at us.
I was mesmerized by it too.
Tai Ziqian squeezed my hand and said, "Zishu, pay attention to your expression."
I noticed Pseudo Xu Shubei was watching me, so I quickly reacted. I walked over to her and hooked her arm. "Sister, your red dress is too beautiful. I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you."
"Really?" This compliment was something she liked to hear. She happily held my hand, then faintly smiled and said, "Come on, let's go in." Ziqian, you and Sheng Yun go in first. I have something to say to my sister. "
"What can't you say in front of me? Have you prepared something for your sister? " Tai Ziqian immediately stopped and asked with a smile.
"Of course we have to prepare gifts, but not today." Pseudo Xu Shubei smiled and said, "One day, I will specially bring my little sister to the shopping mall to choose her. Today, we sisters will have a chat in private. You can go in first!"
Tai Ziqian wanted to say more, but Sheng Yun pulled his arm and said, "Let them talk. I think Shubei has something to say to Zishu. It's inconvenient for us to be there."
"That's right, you guys go in first." Pseudo Xu Shubei followed his words and then turned her head. Her eyes were like daggers as she glared at me.
CHAPTER 266 - LOVE THAT CANNOT BE STOLEN
I wasn't afraid.
I don't know why, but after Sheng Yun and I talked so much about it, I felt a lot more at peace.
The initial worry was gone.
I knew that the person he still loved in his heart was me, that he had not joined forces with this woman to kill me, that he had his difficulties.
So suddenly I wasn't afraid.
"Ziqian's worried about you," Pseudo Xu Shubei said as Sheng Yun pulled Tai Ziqian inside. Since I'm your sister, why does he worry so much about you being alone with me? "
The woman in front of me was very cunning. I knew she was testing me, testing me, but she didn't show that she didn't trust me.
"Because I've never seen it before. I'm afraid... "I'm afraid that elder sister won't accept me." My voice was weak. I lowered my head and didn't dare look at her.
She lifted my chin, Zaizai looked left and right, she said: "If you are really my sister, how can I not accept you? "But dad and mom are already dead. I can't just rely on your looks to easily believe something like this, can I?"
"This... I don't know about that. My father told me. " I said in a low voice.
She moved closer to me, forcing me to look at her. Her gaze was fierce, without the slightest trace of gentleness.
She said, "Did you know? Once this person had money, countless people would try to get close to him by all sorts of means. In this society, the entire appearance was nothing special. Just based on Tai Ziqian's words alone, it is a little difficult to convince me that you are my sister. "
"It's alright, it doesn't matter if big sister doesn't recognize me. Dad said not to force it. Father only felt that I don't have many relatives in this world, so he wanted me to come and see elder sister. " My voice was weak but clear, and each word was spoken to her.
"Who is your father? You mean Tai Ziqian's father? Didn't he go out of his way? " Pseudo Xu Shubei's voice grew even sharper as she swept her gaze over me, as if trying to see through me.
"Daddy is away, but he's just a common disciple. Every year, he goes to the United States to accompany me." "No," I said.
"Did you really grow up in America? So tell me, which city in the United States do you live in? In which schools? " she asked me again.
Tai Ziqian had thought of this beforehand, and I have already memorized it thoroughly. I spoke several English names in a row, and when I finished, she started talking to me again.
Her pronunciation of English is also standard, and a bit like a dialect in some part of the United States, I blurted out, "Has my sister ever been in the United States before? You sound a lot like a local American accent.
She was obviously a bit guilty and immediately spoke in Mandarin, "No, I only learned it when I was in university."
"I've never been to the United States, and the pronunciation is still so pure. Big Sister must be very easy to learn, right? Where did you study in your sister's university? " I asked again.
Her eyes flickered, and she said, "How long ago was that? There's nothing to talk about. Tell me about you. What are you planning to do when you return? Where do you live? "I wasn't prepared for it at all. It's strange for a sister to suddenly pop up."
> "I live in my father's house. My brother will stay with me." "I heard from my cousin that you have two lovely little babies. Can I see them some day?"
The disgust in her eyes made my heart tremble.
The thought of my two darlings spending their days and nights with such women made me break out in a cold sweat. I was even more anxious to see them.
"They are making a ruckus. If you want to see them, then see them." Then she said, "What do you know? What major are you studying in college? "
"I study finance the same way as my brother." "No," I said.
"Finance..." She rolled her eyes and then asked me a very professional question in the field of finance.
This question didn't trouble me. I thought about it and then gave her the answer.
I was confident that I didn't reveal any flaws. I was also confident that the current me was completely different from the Xu Shubei of the past. She wouldn't be able to discover anything.
She couldn't see anything, but I knew she was worried all the time. After all, she was guilty of being a thief. She had used this way to get the position of crown prince, and now someone like Xu Shubei had suddenly appeared out of thin air. How could she possibly feel at ease?!
"You can't be Xu Shubei, right?" She looked at me, her eyes suddenly filled with fear.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Aren't you Xu Shubei? " I looked at her suspiciously, pretending not to understand.
She immediately realized that she had misspoken, and smiled in embarrassment, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I've been a bit on edge recently, quarreling with him everyday, it's been so noisy that it's making me nervous. "Alright, alright, let's go eat on the boat first."
Tai Ziqian and Sheng Yun had been standing at the bow waiting for us. They seemed to be talking about something.
We got on the boat, Tai Ziqian subconsciously reached out his hand. I thought he was going to pull me, but Pseudo Xu Shubei grabbed his hand first. The next second, my hand was grabbed by Sheng Yun.
In that instant, I had the illusion of being electrocuted, my brain circuit short-circuited and blank out.
When he thought about how he was once loved by this man, he could not help but feel excited.
But I knew I had to control it, and now that the situation was so unclear, there was no way to show any emotion at all.
"Wife, I've already ordered all the dishes. They were your favorite dishes since we came last time." Sheng Yun said gently to Pseudo Xu Shubei.
When I heard him call her "my wife," my heart ached.
However, Pseudo Xu Shubei remained indifferent. "What would you like to eat if I order something that I like to eat? What would you like to eat if you order something that Ziqian likes to eat? And Zishu, what would you like to eat?"
"I just came to the country, so I don't know what to eat." I said, smiling.
"Little Shu, come sit with me." Tai Ziqian sat down and gestured for me to sit beside him.
Lili, for some reason, was especially enthusiastic about Tai Ziqian. She saw me sitting next to him, sulking, next to Sheng Yun, and said, "Ziqian, I'm so jealous of you for being so nice to Zishu."
"Come on, you two made me jealous a lot of times, so I didn't say anything." This is my own sister. I treat her better than I treat her. " Tai Ziqian said with a smile.
"Why has it been so many years since your father decided to tell us? Does my aunt know? " Sheng Yun asked.
"My mom knows. A few years ago, when my dad left home to cultivate, he left my mom. It was because they had left each other, and also because my father is now very old and hopes that someone can take care of Little Shu, that's why he told me what happened that year. " Tai Ziqian said, then winked at Pseudo Xu Shubei. "Shubei, I think this is just a godsend. Even though we were fated to be together, we suddenly have a little sister who is exactly the same as you. "
"It's not exactly the same, is it? It's just that she looks so much younger than me. She looks like one of those people who are well protected. She speaks in a soft voice and walks with her head lowered. "Zishu, since you've returned, you should be like elder sister. Be more confident in everything." Pseudo Xu Shubei said.
"I feel that Zishu's gentleness and gentleness is rather good." Sheng Yun said in an indifferent tone.
The dishes were served one by one. After losing my memory, this was the first time I tasted such a pure Chinese dish.
Every dish on the table was unexpectedly my favorite. Every dish was to my liking and I ate happily.
All Sheng Yun knew was my taste, right... I suddenly understood why the two of them weren't so good now. All of Sheng Yun's good feelings for her were based on what I once liked. How could my previous liking be this woman's?
They were destined not to live together, and perhaps she was attracted to Sheng Yun at the beginning, but she soon knew that she was only a substitute for me. The love she received didn't even belong to her, and she replaced my identity, meaning that everything must be done according to my preferences in order to not reveal any flaws.
She can steal everything from me, but she can't steal love. Because she knows very well that what Sheng Yun loves is my soul, and that she can't steal it.
"It's not tasty at all, I don't like this kind of sour food." Pseudo Xu Shubei had only taken a few bites when she couldn't help but get angry.
"Shubei, I remember that your favorite taste was sour and spicy." Tai Ziqian said while smiling at her.
"That was before, and now the taste has changed. Waiter, bring the menu over! " Pseudo Xu Shubei said in a displeased tone.
"She's denying her whole past now." Sheng Yun shook his head helplessly and then asked me with a smile, "Zishu, do you like these dishes?"
I nodded. "None of the Chinese restaurants I ate abroad tasted as good as this," I said.
"If you like it, then eat more. Shubei's taste is becoming more and more unruly now." Sheng Yun said.
"What is getting more and more unruly!" It's obvious that you don't understand what I like to eat right now! " Pseudo Xu Shubei exploded, frowning as she spoke.
It was embarrassing for a man to be angry in public like this.
Sheng Yun put down his chopsticks, frowned and said coldly: "Can't you have a good meal?"
"Can't you just forget the me of the past and fall in love with the me of the present? How did it feel to mention my past to me over and over again? I have changed, I am no longer the me of the past! Sheng Yun, can you stop mentioning it? I don't feel happy at all! I don't think at all that we once loved each other very much! " Pseudo Xu Shubei said loudly.
"Pa!"
I didn't expect Sheng Yun to suddenly slap her hard in the face. I was stunned, as was Tai Ziqian. Pseudo Xu Shubei was even more stunned!
CHAPTER 267 - UNINVITED GUEST
"I can tolerate anything else, but please do not deny our past love. There is no love from the past. Today, you and I are strangers. " Sheng Yun was really angry. His face was trembling slightly from the anger and his eyes showed an intimidating look.
This is the real Sheng Yun!
When we first met, Sheng Yun, who seemed patient, patient, and tolerant, made me feel a little disappointed. I always felt that it was different from what I imagined.
However, the person in front of him right now was the real Sheng Yun. He had his bottom line, he had his temper, and he was not the type to indulge and tolerate.
The slap he gave Pseudo Xu Shubei made me want to clap.
Pseudo Xu Shubei was completely stunned. She covered her face as she looked at Sheng Yun and said with a shrill voice, "You … What right do you have to hit me? "
"You deny all our past, deny all our love!" Sheng Yun said angrily, "You are trampling on my dignity in love, you are challenging my limits. I know you've changed, and I know we won't be able to go back, but please remember, anyone... No one can deny the fact that we once loved each other deeply, including you and me! "
"What's so great about loving! You think too much! " Pseudo
Xu Shubei covered her face and cried, "You actually dared to hit me!?" "Sheng Yun, don't think that you're that amazing!"
"Alright!" Tai Ziqian stood up and slammed the table, "Do you live like this every day? It's rare to have a meal, but when Zishu just returned home, can't you retract a little? Sheng Yun, that's enough. Say less. Shubei, you sit down too! "
Sheng Yun sat down resentfully and finished the rice wine in his cup in one go.
Pseudo Xu Shubei also sat down angrily, and the two of them did not say a word for a long time.
Tai Ziqian tried to smooth things over, so he said to Pseudo Xu Shubei, "Shubei, it's been so long since you've seen me. Don't put on a face. Do you remember when we fought together? When I was in America, I used to think about it. "
Pseudo Xu Shubei smiled in embarrassment, then said perfunctorily: "How could I not remember? I'll remember it in my heart. I know that without you, Tai Ziqian, I wouldn't be where I am today. Oh, Sheng Yun, you always talk about you in my ear and say how nice you were to me. "Here, let me toast you!"
Tai Ziqian picked up his wine cup and clinked it with Pseudo Xu Shubei.
"Elder sister, let me toast you as well. I heard a lot about you from my brother in America, and I thought you were amazing. You were my example. " I said.
"What role model am I? Success is just luck." Pseudo Xu Shubei seemed to despise my past, and her tone was almost inaudible.
Still, she had a drink with me.
Sheng Yun was sitting by the window looking at the night scene on the lake. I don't know what he was thinking, but his sad silhouette made me feel an indescribable, instinctive pain in my heart.
He must have been thinking about the times when he and I had dinner here.
I was glad to see how much he valued his memories of the past.
"Cousin, let me toast you as well. I hope you won't be unhappy and feel happy, okay?" I said to him.
He seemed to come back to his senses and smiled at me. He quickly picked up his wine cup and said, "Alright, but don't drink that much."
"I drink at social gatherings all the time, but I've never seen you being so concerned about me." Pseudo Xu Shubei complained on the side in dissatisfaction.
