Chapter 279
Like her? Shi Fengming's lips curled into a mocking smile. There was once a woman who shyly told him that she liked him and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life. However, her life was so short that it added up to less than a thousand days and nights. Later on, he found out that she meant that she liked the second young master of the Shi family, the richest man in Qing Zhou, and not him!
Now, there was another person who said that she liked him! He wondered what she liked!
Shi Fengming took a deep breath and tried his best to ignore the teary eyes in front of him. He closed his eyes tiredly.
She should have given up this time, right? That would be for the best!
Shi Fengming originally thought that Zhou Jingyi would run away in anger and sadness and never come back. Unexpectedly, she came back in the evening when it was time to eat and drink medicine. Her face was still covered with gauze, revealing only a pair of faint eyes.
"Eat. The medicine is already brewed. I'll bring it to you later." Zhou Jingyi came in with a food box. Xiao Cui quickly pulled the table to the bedside.
Shi Fengming moved his lips but did not make a sound. For some reason, he was suddenly a little afraid of her and did not dare to talk back to her. It was not that he was afraid, but he did not dare to provoke her.
Zhou Jingyi brought out the dishes. Shi Fengming glanced at her and obediently picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat. The dishes were sumptuous and steaming hot, but they tasted like wax in his mouth. He could not help but look at Zhou Jingyi uneasily. Zhou Jingyi sat on a chair at the side with her eyes lowered as if she was thinking about something and ignored him.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull.
"Cough, that …" Shi Fengming tried his best to eat half a bowl but could not swallow anymore. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Is the injury on your face serious? Big Brother and Sister-in-law should have some good ointment. You can ask someone to get some later! "
Zhou Jingyi did not say anything.
When he did not get a reaction from her, Shi Fengming suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He would not admit that he was a little disappointed. He could not help but laugh at himself secretly. Women are indeed the same! I can't be too good to them! Once I treat her well, she will put on airs!
"I'm done eating. Clean up!" Shi Fengming was a little dispirited.
Zhou Jin Yi got up and put away the food. She carried the food box and turned around. Suddenly, she said, "My brother didn't use much strength. It's fine!" She walked out after saying that.
Shi Fengming was stunned, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a faint smile.
Shi Fengju came over after she finished her medicine. Zhou Jingyi bowed to him and left the room, leaving the two brothers to talk.
"Why are you so distracted today? What's wrong? "Shi Fengju asked with a smile when he saw Shi Fengming looking listless. Seeing that he had suddenly become much more obedient, Shi Fengju also guessed that it was most likely related to Zhou Jingyi. He thought to himself that his sister-in-law was indeed an honest person. She had found a way to follow what he had taught her yesterday so quickly.
When Shi Fengming heard the question, he hesitated for a moment before saying in a muffled voice, "Young Master Zhou came today!"
"Young Master Zhou? Your brother-in-law! "Shi Fengju laughed and said," No wonder you look like this. Why? Did someone teach you a lesson? I say, just bear with it. She only has one sister. It's inevitable that she'll be resentful if you bully her like this. It'll be fine if you vent it out. Even if you divorce, the two families can't become enemies in the future! No, that's not right! " Shi Fengju took a deep breath and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Since when did you become someone who listens to others' scoldings? After being scolded by your brother-in-law, you're like a rooster that has lost a fight. This isn't like you! "Even if you were scolded by Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I don't think you'll take it seriously! Let alone an outsider!
"Big Brother!" Shi Fengming was a little angry and embarrassed. He called out unhappily and could only say, "He hit me!"
Shi Fengju's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly looked at him and said, "What did you say? He hit you! Did he hurt you? "
Even if the Shi family owed the Zhou family, they could not allow the Zhou family to hit them. Moreover, Shi Fengming was still "sick". Young Master Zhou's actions were too much.
"No, no!" Shi Fengming did not expect Shi Fengju's reaction to be so big. His heart warmed, but he felt even more embarrassed and unable to speak.
"It's good that you didn't!" Shi Fengju let out a sigh of relief. However, he frowned and said, "Even if you didn't hurt them, it's still too much. Let's wait for Lord Zhou and Madam Zhou to come and settle this with them! Don't worry, we won't renege on what we owe them. However, we won't tolerate other people's impudence and rudeness. "
"No need, no need!" Shi Fengming immediately became anxious when he heard this. Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he could only mumble and explain what happened with the heavy object. He only skipped the part where Zhou Jingyi took a beating for him and said that she liked him. If he didn't say it now, how could Young Master Zhou not tell his parents about it when Shi Fengju asked about Lord Zhou and Madam Zhou? When the truth came out, wouldn't Shi Fengju be embarrassed?
Shi Fengju listened for a long time without saying anything. He only looked at Shi Fengming and said with a smile, "I was wondering why you seemed to be more honest today. So that's why!"
Shi Fengming was slightly disappointed. He thought that Shi Fengju would feel indignant and scold him — that way, he would feel a little better. Who knew that he would say such a thing! It made him feel as if his hopes were dashed and he felt a little sullen for no reason.
"Big Brother," Shi Fengming smiled awkwardly, "Do you have any ointment that reduces swelling and bruising? Ask someone to send a bottle to her later! After all, she took that punch for me. I don't want to owe her anything! "
"Okay, I'll go back and look for it. I'll ask your sister-in-law to send it over!" Shi Fengju nodded.
Shi Fengming saw that he didn't take the opportunity to laugh at him and secretly let out a sigh of relief. The slight awkwardness in his heart also disappeared. He hurriedly said with a smile, "Big Brother, when sister-in-law asks someone to send the ointment over, don't say that it was me who said it. I don't want her to have any other thoughts!"
"Okay!" Shi Fengju nodded again.
"Then many thanks, Big Brother!" Shi Fengming hurriedly said with a smile.
Shi Fengju also smiled. He thought to himself, Why are you still so awkward? It's just a small matter, yet you have to make it like this! If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't have the patience to play such a boring game with you.
After sitting for a while longer, Shi Fengju got up and left. He returned to Ning Garden. At night, he indeed asked Sang Wan to find a bottle of ointment and asked Sang Wan to have someone send it over. Sang Wan then asked Xing Zhi to send it to Su Xin Pavilion.
Shi Fengju couldn't help but laugh when he thought about this matter. He then told Sang Wan.
Sang Wan heard this and sighed. Her watery eyes were half resentful and half dissatisfied as she glared at him. She said, "Aren't you two brothers going a little overboard? Sister-in-law is really pitiful. If she finds out the truth in the future, who knows how angry she'll be! Actually, what did she do wrong? Her mistake is that she shouldn't have liked Second Young Master! She's really honest and straightforward! "That's why she let you play with her!
Shi Fengju smiled faintly and asked, "Oh? If you were her, what would you do? "
Sang Wan casually said, "What would I do? Of course I would go home! Second Young Master clearly doesn't have her in his heart. Why bother to keep her and make him hate her? It's better to just go home and be happy! She has her parents who love her dearly and her brother who cares for her. Regardless of whether she marries in the future or not, she can live a good life! Why bother to be so entangled! "Wouldn't she be the one suffering if she were to be entangled?
Shi Fengju dragged out an "Oh" and leaned back on the couch. His voice was somewhat faint as he said, "So that's what Wan Niang thinks!"
Sang Wan didn't notice the emotion in his words and continued to say, "Is it wrong to think this way? She'll only be humiliated if she stays! "
Shi Fengju felt even more depressed for no reason. He refused to accept this and said, "But when we were in Hangzhou, didn't you try your best to persuade Second Young Master to keep Sister-in-law? Why did you change your mind now? You can't wait for Sister-in-law to leave! Wan Niang, your position changed too quickly! "
"These are clearly two different things!" Sang Wan said, "I have a good relationship with Sister-in-law. I can also see that she really likes Second Young Master. If they reconcile, wouldn't it be good for everyone? It's Second Young Master's good fortune to have a wife like her! But Second Young Master has already pretended to be sick, and Sister-in-law still doesn't leave him. According to what we said before, he should believe Sister-in-law, right? He won't! This can only mean that he never wanted to keep Sister-in-law. If that's the case, why should Sister-in-law stay? It's better to just go home! "
"If she leaves so easily, then she's not sincere to Second Young Master. If she really likes Second Young Master, why would she leave just like that?" Shi Fengju refused to accept this.
Sang Wan said again, "Then what do you think is sincere? Does she have to pester him to death to be sincere? Sincerity can't withstand tests and injuries. As long as one is human, one will feel tired sooner or later! Instead of giving up at that point, it's better to let go now and leave a good impression on each other. At least, when they think of each other, they won't feel disgusted! Second Young Master doesn't like Sister-in-law at all. So what if she's willing to stay by his side? She'll just make him hate her even more! Besides, there was Su Qing 'er in the past. Who knows who else will be there in the future? Since Second Young Master hates her to this extent, she'll be the one to suffer in the future! "
Shi Fengju suddenly sat up and placed his hands on Sang Wan's shoulders. "Are these words from Wan Niang's heart? Does Wan Niang really think so? "
Sang Wan was startled. When she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel vexed. She forced a smile and said, "I'm just expressing my feelings! I only have no scruples in front of you. Don't tell anyone what I said. If anyone knows, I won't be able to face them! "
"I'm expressing my feelings!" Shi Fengju sighed and said. He lowered his head and rubbed his forehead against hers. He smiled and said, "Wan Niang, I won't treat you like this. You can't leave me, okay?"
Sang Wan was most unwilling to talk about the mess with Gu Fangzi and Wang. When she heard that he seemed to want to mention it again, she smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I won't!"
"It's good that you won't!" Shi Fengju pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips. He said softly, "Wan Niang, I won't do anything you don't like. Mother is my mother after all. I can only make decisions for my own matters! "
Sang Wan forced a smile and nodded gently in his embrace. "En."
