In the past six years, Shen Zhongming has been hoping for a miracle at every moment.
The miracle finally occurred, and he was so overcome with emotion that tears poured out of his eyes, leaving him unable to speak through his sobs.
Seeing Shen Zhongming in front of her with tears streaming down his face, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but be touched.
Back when her mother died, she hadn’t seen him shed a single tear, yet today he broke down because his brother’s condition had improved.
This showed the immense pain and torment he had been bearing all these years.
Shen Cheng’s eyes were also reddening, but she stubbornly refused to let a tear fall in front of him.
She sniffled, tried to compose herself, and then grabbed a roll of toilet paper and threw it at Shen Zhongming.
"Crying at your age, aren’t you ashamed? I’m embarrassed for you. Hurry up and wipe those tears."
Her voice was cold, devoid of any warmth, as if it could freeze everything around her.
Shen Zhongming took a deep breath, tore off a piece of paper to dry his tears, and looked up at Shen Cheng with an ingratiating smile, "Girl, you said the dean asked us to go to Jiang City. Does this mean that this time, Dad can go?"
Just now he was crying a river, and in the blink of an eye, he’s wearing a completely different face; his speed of changing faces was unmatched.
Shen Cheng looked at him and let out a dry laugh, "I seriously think you’re here to be a comedian."
It made her want to slap him against the wall so hard that he couldn’t be pealed off.
Hearing her say that, Shen Zhongming seemed displeased, "Didn’t you just say that Dad crying was embarrassing for you!"
Shen Cheng couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and simply ignored him.
Seeing this, Shen Zhongming became anxious, "Girl? Give me a reaction will you! Can I go this time or not?"
A reaction my ass! Shen Cheng shot him a cold glance, "You better stay well at home; all you do is cause trouble when you go out."
"Girl! Dad promises he won’t cause any trouble this time! Please believe me just once!"
Speaking of her unreliable father, Shen Cheng could only scoff.
If it hadn’t been for his insistence on visiting his son in Jiang City two years ago, she wouldn’t have been followed for three whole days.
If she hadn’t managed to lead those people away afterwards, her brother probably wouldn’t be alive today.
And now he had the nerve to make guarantees in front of her?
"Promises are useless; you’re not going."
Shen Cheng had no intention of compromising, no matter how Shen Zhongming cajoled, pleaded, or nagged beside her, she simply wouldn’t agree.
Shen Zhongming was extremely disappointed, sitting beside her and sighing heavily, "Ah... Ah!"
Seeing him , Shen Cheng’s heart softened, "Alright, if you..."
Her words were cut off as her phone began to ring.
Reaching into her bag, she pulled out her phone, glanced at the screen, and without thinking, pressed reject.
"Girl, why didn’t you answer it?"
Shen Zhongming couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked a question.
Before Shen Cheng could respond, her phone rang again.
Touching the screen lightly with her finger, she pressed reject once more.
About a minute later, she received a text message.
Perverted Bastard: Shen Chengzi, I’m giving you one minute to think it over—if you don’t return my call, just wait for me to come back to the country and deal with you. Don’t doubt my ability, because there has never been anything I wanted to do that I couldn’t do.
After reading the message, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth, then she replied with a message: Isn’t it tiring to type so much?
Perverted Bastard: "Haven’t you heard of a word called ’outsourcing’?"
Shen Cheng: "Damn! Your thick skin could wrap around the globe three times!"
