Chapter 601: Do You Hate It?_1
Looking at Shen Junrou’s expression, she didn’t seem pleased by the death of Mao Xingren. In fact, her face appeared somewhat blank as she sat quietly on the sofa for a long time.
Su Chengyu got Shen Junrou a bottle of water, then sat down and rested with his eyes closed. After a while, Shen Junrou spoke. "Thank you."
"You’re welcome. I didn’t expect that there was a marriage alliance between the Shen Family and the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Mao Xingren should have been your cousin. Why did he mistreat you?"
Su Chengyu opened his eyes, curious about Shen Junrou’s story.
Shen Junrou stayed silent, seemingly unwilling to discuss it, so Su Chengyu did not press further.
After a while, Shen Junrou took a sip of water and broke the silence. "He’s not my cousin, I have no relation to him at all."
Su Chengyu did not interrupt her. He could tell that Shen Junrou had a lot hidden deep within her. If she was willing to talk about it, he would willingly listen.
After mustering the courage to discuss her past, Shen Junrou finally began to open up, as if these burdens had been suppressed for far too long.
Shen Junrou was indeed the young lady of the Shen family. However, she was the daughter of Shen Yongji, who had an affair with a well-known woman of pleasure.
In his youth, Shen Yongji was frivolous and enjoyed frequenting the red light district. Shen Junrou’s mother was then the star of Suifeng’s pleasure quarters. When she gave birth to Shen Yongji’s child, she kept it a secret.
Shen Yongji’s legal wife was the biological sister of Mao Taixi, the second in command of the Black Dragon Commerce Association.
