It was obvious that the Second Lady came prepared.
Shen Yuhan glanced at the pretty woman with long hair, but he was not in a hurry to go upstairs to attend the online class. He wanted to know what tricks the Second Madam was trying to play. He felt that there was something wrong with bringing a strange woman to his house from the beginning, and it turned out that she was waiting for him here.
He threw out a sentence: "What if she remembers, what if she doesn't remember? Should I remember?" Since this woman could come with the second wife, her purpose must be impure. Can such a woman have good intentions towards him? Or do they think they can be fooled easily
Shen Yuhan didn't need the woman's answer and asked the Second Madam directly: "What does the Second Madam mean?"
The Second Madam rubbed her nails, and changed from the humble attitude she had shown a minute ago to a show of strength and power. She even changed the way she addressed Shen Yuhan: "Shen Yuhan, aren't you afraid that Shan Qihuan will find out about your past?"
"Are you threatening me?" Shen Yuhan was not afraid at all. How could Shan Qihuan not know his past? Maybe he had investigated it thoroughly.
"I'm just threatening you." The second wife's face was a little distorted, "I know you won't help me, but I have something on you, so I have to help you even if you don't want to."
Shen Yuhan was not as angry and humiliated as the Second Madam had imagined. Instead of getting angry, he laughed and said, "Then tell me what I have against you. I'm all ears." He really couldn't understand what the Second Madam was thinking. It was Shan Qibai who bullied others first, and it was ridiculous that she actually came to threaten him.
Is it a desperate move or a desperate throw of the dice
The Second Madam was surprised to see Shen Yuhan so calm. She felt confident when she just entered the room, but now she felt a little uncertain. She always thought that Shen Yuhan was just good at talking. Could it be that he was really not afraid of his embarrassing stories being exposed
"Shen Yuhan, stop pretending. Do you really not remember who she is? Please be more specific. They look a bit similar."
The girl was hugged by Shen Yuhan and said, "Shen Yuhan, I'm your cousin, don't you remember me?"
cousin
Shen Yuhan has been in the modern world for so long, and no relative of the Shen family has contacted him. Suddenly, a cousin appears, which is a matter worth pondering.
If it was really his cousin and she came to him alone, there would be no reason for him to refuse to acknowledge her. But now she came with the Second Wife, so it is conceivable that this person must have ulterior motives.
"What's your intention in coming to me at this time to establish relationship with me?" Shen Yuhan skipped the question of whether he knew her or not.
"I came here today just to tell you that when your father left, he left behind some evidence that was unfavorable to him. If this information is made public, he may not even be able to keep his last bit of dignity."
In fact, Shen Yuhan didn't even know what "Shen Yuhan's" father did for a living. This cousin didn't come to play the emotional card with him, but directly exposed her purpose, which made Shen Yuhan feel relieved.
He was not afraid of the threat from his "cousin" at all: "Mice have teeth, but humans have no limits." He did not read the rest, "It is better that my cousin did not exist if she did this."
The second wife looked like she had succeeded in her evil plan: "The information is in my hands, Shen Yuhan, if you don't want your father to have troubles after his death, let Shan Qihuan spit out my son's company."
Shen Yuhan turned the new bracelet on his wrist and pondered for a second or two. When the two people opposite him thought there was a chance, he suddenly said, "Guys, you should never threaten me with a deceased person."
Perhaps the former "Shen Yuhan" would care about the so-called information, but he is not the real Shen Yuhan after all, so it is impossible for him to be nervous, let alone be threatened. They really found the wrong person.
Shen Yuhan didn't even bother to ask the name of this "cousin". He just stood up and said to Aunt Wang for the first time: "Auntie, please see me off." It was really boring.
When the second wife saw him leaving, she became anxious: "Shen Yuhan, stop right there. Don't you care about your father's reputation?"
Shen Yuhan looked back at her and said, "If they knew about this in the afterlife, they would probably ask us to come to them in their dreams. As for us, our family has been ruined. What do you think they care about more?"
The Second Lady was caught in a dilemma because of Shen Yuhan's overly calm attitude. She couldn't scold him, and beating him was even more impossible.
"Okay, Shen Yuhan, very good!"
The second wife rushed out of his house in a rage, and the "cousin" followed her.
After leaving Shen Yuhan's house, the second wife gradually calmed down and asked the woman who claimed to be Shen Yuhan's cousin.
The second wife changed her angry expression and asked, "How is he? Is he like the Shen Yuhan you knew before?"
The "cousin" shook her head: "No, my cousin used to ignore us, but now he has become very elegant and his way of speaking is very different. He is completely different from himself, like a completely different person. It is impossible for a person to change his personality so completely. Is he pretending?"
The Second Madam said coldly: "Pretending? This is not the result I want. I want to know whether he is Shen Yuhan himself or not?"
Before Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan got married, the second wife also met Shen Yuhan once. She wanted to fight for her son, but gave up when she saw that he didn't have much temperament. Shen Yuhan at that time was definitely not like he is now. He spoke illogically, without focus, and was a little timid. Compared with the current Shen Yuhan, she not only suspected that this Shen Yuhan was not the original one, but she was also criticized by Shen Yuhan a lot some time ago, and she couldn't help but wonder if the real Shen Yuhan was replaced by Shan Qihuan
The "cousin" said: "From his temperament and conversation, I don't think he is my cousin. I can't tell what he looks like either. Every time I see him, he dresses up in an exaggerated way. Sometimes he wears more makeup than I do."
The second wife said in annoyance, "I should have found a strand of his hair for comparison. His closest people are gone, and now only you can help me solve this mystery." Shan Qihuan is such a picky person, how could he be willing to marry a scoundrel and treat him well? I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on.
The second wife was in an inexplicably good mood when she thought about being able to find something to hold against Shan Qihuan to suppress the principal wife.
"Cousin": "Second Madam, how about I go and test him for you?"
The second wife smiled and said, "No need. I guess he is not the original Shen Yuhan at all. Maybe the real Shen Yuhan was replaced after he fell into the water."
"Cousin": "Then let's just wait and see?"
The reason why she was so active was naturally because she had her eyes on the dividends that the Shan family gave to the Shen family. She and the Second Lady cooperated for their own benefit.
Shen Yuhan was completely unaware that his outstanding performance had aroused the suspicion of the Second Lady.
Their arrival reminded him that he still needed to learn more about the Shen family. It would be very annoying if someone often claimed to be his relative in the future and he ignored them all.
But who should he ask about the Shen family
She may not know as much about the Shen family as her husband, and everything she knows now is hearsay.
The words of that "cousin" and the second wife were not credible, or they were just trying to deceive him. He recalled his performance just now and there should be no flaws. As for the matter of Shen Yuhan's father, he could discuss it with her husband.
However, he was afraid that such things would happen more and more in the future, and each time would be a test for him, unless he told Shan Qihuan his origins one by one.
No, not yet.
The matter of reincarnation cannot be told to anyone, because no one can accept that they married a ghost of unknown origin, right
Shen Yuhan felt that he still had to sort out everything about "Shen Yuhan" from childhood to adulthood.
But, how to do it
"Shen Yuhan" is such a failure as a person. From childhood to adulthood, he doesn't have a single friend worth confiding in
Forget it, it’s useless to think about these things now. It’s better to learn modern knowledge first, so that it will be convenient to check it later. The worst case scenario is that her husband finds out that she is not the real "Shen Yuhan" and is afraid of this "ghost" of his, so he divorces her and then she goes out to make a living alone. Thinking about it this way, the most important thing is not the Shen family’s affairs, but to ensure that she can live in the modern world in the future.
Thinking that I might have to leave Shan Qihuan one day, I feel sad.
He suddenly lost interest in learning new knowledge.
The weather outside is nice, and the sun will probably set soon.
Shen Yuhan changed into his coat. He wanted to go out and relax, so he decided to walk around the community. He usually went in and out by car, and had never really walked around the community where he lived.
The second lady's arrival did affect his mood.
Even though he has people he can talk to in modern times, he can't really open up to them, and he still has to deal with many things on his own.
Shen Yuhan quickly put on his coat and went out.
He and Shan Qihuan's home was warm, like a temporary safe haven for him, and he was afraid that it would be gone one day.
Life has been going too smoothly lately and Shen Yuhan hasn't faced the reality of the problem for a long time, so his mood has become increasingly depressed.
How about taking a walk by the lake? Many communities have an artificial lake, but he has only heard of it but has never actually been there.
The WeChat on his phone started to ring. Shen Yuhan took out his phone and took a look. It was from their calligraphy and painting group. Someone posted a long picture with the words "One Hundred Interesting Things Around the World" written on it. Then, the first person spoke up, followed by the second, and the third. The group, which had been quiet all along, became lively.
While everyone was chatting animatedly, Wen You said that he and his friends were planning to have a Christmas party and asked if everyone wanted to come out and play.
The first person to respond to Wen You was Lian Qi, and then Lian Qi contacted Shen Yuhan in the group and asked him if he wanted to go.
Shen Yuhan is not able to send messages while walking like modern people do for the time being, and he is not used to sending voice messages to people. After finding the artificial lake, he sat on a bench by the lake and replied to messages. Chatting with them relieved a lot of anxiety. Maybe he should get in touch with modern young people
He first checked what Christmas was, and then asked in the group: Are we all going
Wen You was the first to reply to Shen Yuhan, and he explained again: There are five people who have signed up now. This is a Christmas party, it's very simple, just chatting, singing, playing games, eating and drinking.
When Lian Qi asked where they were going to play, Wen You said that they had booked a villa and drove a horn, and he even sent the location directly.
Shen Yuhan has already learned how to read the map, and this place seems not too far from him.
If he didn't go, wouldn't he seem unsociable
Wen You asked Shen Yuhan again: Yuhan, are you coming
Shen Yuhan still replied cautiously: I don’t know yet, I need to discuss it with my family.
Wen You thought of the handsome man who took him away last time: You are adults now, there is no need to tell your family everything.
Lian Qi also felt: Yes, Brother Xi is too strict.
Shen Yuhan thought that Shan Qihuan was not strict with him and smiled silently. He was his brother after all. Sometimes Shan Qihuan really cared for him like a brother. When he thought that they might be separated one day in the future, his heart ached.
Shen Yuhan replied: I will consider it.
Lian Qi really likes Shen Yuhan’s domineering attitude when he talks back at others: You must come, I haven’t seen you for a long time!
After sitting for a while, Shen Yuhan found that the sun had set, and the wind blew, making his face feel cool.
He didn't know that Shan Qihuan, who came home early from get off work today, didn't see him and felt anxious.
Shan Qihuan asked Aunt Wang: "Where is Xiaohan?"
Aunt Wang was busy preparing dinner and shook her head: "He was in the house before, I didn't notice him just now. Is he in the greenhouse?"
Shan Qihuan naturally didn't find anyone upstairs. Usually, Shen Yuhan would come downstairs to pick him up after hearing the car, but why was he gone today
He went to the greenhouse, but there was no one there. It was so cold outside, why did he go out
Shan Qihuan dialed the number directly. Fortunately, Shen Yuhan brought his cell phone and the call was connected.
Shen Yuhan, who was enjoying the breeze by the lake, sneezed as soon as she answered the phone: "Husband."
"Where did you go? I didn't see you when I got home." Shan Qihuan's concern was evident as soon as he opened his mouth.
Shen Yuhan rubbed his nose and said, "I just saw that the sun was shining brightly, so I sat by the lake for a while."
Shan Qihuan picked up the scarf hanging on the hook and said, "You're not wearing a scarf?"
Shen Yuhan touched his neck: "Oh, I forgot." Normally, her husband would put it on for her when they went out, but today she forgot. She didn't know since when it became her husband who was serving her.
Shan Qihuan took off his scarf and said, "Why don't you forget about yourself? Send me your location and I'll come find you."
"I was just about to go back." Shen Yuhan blinked and realized that he had been thinking too much and didn't even know which direction he came from. Looking around, every villa looked the same, and he couldn't remember which fork in the road he came from. He immediately changed his words, "Honey, you should come pick me up. I'm lost."
"How dare you run out by yourself when you are so stupid?" Shan Qihuan put on the shoes he had just taken off.
"I'm not stupid, I'm very smart." Shen Yuhan stood up and stretched his arms and legs, then stood by the lake waiting for his husband. He had already heard the sound of his husband putting on his shoes and closing the door to go out.
He wondered if his husband would be surprised if he knew that he was an ancient person and had learned to use a mobile phone, a siri, and the Internet. He wasn't bragging, he just thought he was pretty smart.
While thinking about this possibility, Shen Yuhan sneezed again.
"Shen Yuhan, I'm telling you, are you going to get mad if you don't get beaten for a day?" Shan Qihuan began to teach his wife his unique way of educating her as they walked. "If you catch a cold, you'll get beaten."
"That shouldn't be the case." Shen Yuhan felt that her nose was starting to itch. "If I catch a cold, my husband will really beat me up."
"What do you say? Why don't you try to see if I can beat you up?" Shan Qihuan began to warn him verbally.
Shen Yuhan squatted down and picked up a fallen branch, stirring the calm ice water in the lake: "I'd better not hit me, husband, I'm afraid of pain."
Shan Qihuan smiled: "Then I have to know the situation. Where is it? I'm here."
Shen Yuhan immediately threw away the branch in his hand and waved towards Shan Qihuan at the intersection: "Husband, I'm here."
As soon as he walked forward, Shan Qihuan wrapped the scarf around his neck. Shen Yuhan stood in front of him. She didn't feel cold anymore when she stood with her husband, but it was still quite cold standing alone.
Shan Qihuan pulled the man forward and hugged him, putting his warm palm on his face: "You are so cold, why did you run out here?"
Shen Yuhan stuffed his hands into Shan Qihuan's coat pockets: "I just suddenly want to see the sun."
"We can go back now. The sun is out." Shan Qihuan only saw the ice floating on the lake and didn't think it was beautiful. Maybe it was because his wife had artistic talent and all she saw were scenery and paintings, while he only saw symbols of money.
"Yeah." Shen Yuhan nodded, but didn't move.
"Aren't you leaving?" Shan Qihuan thought to himself, it's only been one day since they last met, but he's still so clingy. He's really the reincarnation of a clingy person.
Shen Yuhan felt warm leaning against her husband. He let go of Shan Qihuan and held his hand instead. Shan Qihuan put his hand back into his pocket, and the two walked back home together.
Shen Yuhan couldn't help but think of the second wife who came to visit and threaten him today: "Husband, today the second wife brought a woman who claimed to be my cousin to my house to see me."
"Are you here about Shan Qibai's matter? Are you here to plead with you or to threaten you?" Shan Qihuan immediately thought of the Second Madam's tricks when she heard them. She only knew those tricks and had been using them for more than ten years, and she was almost tired of them.
"Threatened me." Shen Yuhan thought that her husband had guessed it, so there was nothing to hide. "That cousin said that she had information that could bring ruin to my father's reputation."
"You believe it? I was just making it up. If she had this information, she wouldn't have mentioned it earlier or later, but why did she bring it up at this time? It must be fake. Let me handle this matter, you don't have to worry about it. If they want to bother you, just let them come to me."
Speaking of this, Shan Qihuan took the initiative to mention the two houses he bought.
"I have transferred the house back to your name, and the keys are with me. It's up to you to decide what to do with it."
Shen Yuhan's eyes lit up slightly, and the trouble that the Second Madam had brought him in the afternoon was solved in an instant: "Then I'll go see you when I'm free."
Shan Qihuan guessed that he might be homesick: "Yeah."
When he just walked over, he saw Shen Yuhan's lonely back. He felt a little lonely at that time, as if he would disappear if he didn't catch him quickly. At that moment, Shan Qihuan felt a little panicked.
The troubling problem was solved, and Shen Yuhan's mood improved: "Husband, Wen You and the others invited me to spend Christmas with them, should I go or not?"
"Then do you want to go?" Shan Qihuan never meant to restrain Shen Yuhan. He just saw his lonely back and didn't want him to be alone without even a friend to talk to. He pretended to be generous and said, "If you want to go, go ahead."
"Really?" Shen Yuhan didn't have a deep understanding of Christmas, and he completely believed what Shan Qihuan said.
Shan Qihuan forced a pale smile and said very reluctantly, "Well, I don't like celebrating Western festivals."
Shen Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she also wanted to experience the lifestyle of modern young people. It would be fine as long as her husband didn't mind.
After returning home, Shen Yuhan replied to Wen You and Lian Qi in the group, saying that he could go.
The group became lively again.
Shan Qihuan sat aside and watched Shen Yuhan replying to messages with friends in the group. She was smiling happily and completely forgot that she had a husband next to her. She felt sad in her heart.
He kept telling himself: I can't stop Shen Yuhan from making friends.
He lowered his head and moved his fingers, opened the online shopping app and canceled the order for the Christmas tree he had purchased at noon.
It’s just a crappy Christmas, what’s the big deal? He doesn’t want to celebrate it at all!
At night, Shen Yuhan had a slight cough, probably because he caught a cold from the cold in the afternoon, so Shan Qihuan got up and made him some cold medicine.
Shen Yuhan gulped down the powder, then lay down with the quilt in his arms. He looked at Shan Qihuan with bright eyes and asked softly, "Hubby, I have a cold. Will you really beat me?"
Shan Qihuan said, "I'll beat you up for real." The next moment, he got into bed and patted him lightly on the butt. He kissed Shen Yuhan on the ear bone and threatened, "I'll save it for now and beat you back all at once later."
Shen Yuhan blushed: "… "
It turns out that this “beating” is not that beating.
