Chapter 159 Self-Blame
Su Zhe remembered Shen Xun had mentioned before that he suspected Su Lu was his sister who had been stolen.
"Qianqian was stolen," Jing Su said.
Shen Xun took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, a breath spanning over twenty years, as if he could only release half of it at this moment. The other half might only be released when he was truly able to confirm that Su Lu was indeed his long-lost sister. Otherwise, he would have to keep hanging in suspense, not knowing how long it would last. If he couldn’t find his sister, he would probably be left hanging for a lifetime.
He would never swallow that breath even in death.
Shen Xun’s story continued. His father, Shen Jiming, despite never bringing troublesome matters back home and always maintaining the persona of a good husband and father at home,
that did not mean others wouldn’t come knocking.
Thinking that being passive, unrejecting, and unaccountable meant others didn’t want him to be accountable.
He didn’t want such troublesome matters to destroy his family, but that didn’t mean others didn’t want to destroy his family.
"There was a woman who couldn’t accept that my dad broke up with her. In fact, aside from the serious relationship he had with my mom back in the day, all his later relationships were messy trysts that couldn’t even be counted as dating. He would lose interest and leave, settling it with some money, but just because he was willing to let it go didn’t mean others were willing to do the same."
Shen Xun smiled, his smile clearly mocking, mocking his father.
"There was a woman who thought she was truly in love with my dad and couldn’t accept that he broke up with her unilaterally, and then she seemed to have become somewhat mentally unstable. The money my dad gave her at the breakup, she didn’t use it for herself but instead bribed our nanny and doorman."
