Chapter 511: Chapter 283_2

"Then let me see your phone!" Wenyan came up with an idea, "If you really didn’t see my messages, then they would be unread, indicated by the little red dot. Only if I see it can I believe you."

"Wenyan," Shen Jingxiu looked down at her and let out a long sigh, "There’s no need for that. I don’t have to prove anything to you. If you don’t trust me, then coming here to ask has no meaning. You can leave now."

"...You’re telling me to leave? Just because of this?" Wenyan couldn’t believe it, "You weren’t like this before. And you still say I haven’t offended you?"

"How many times do I have to say it? Why do you keep hassling over a question that already has an answer?"

"Because that’s not the truth! You’re hiding the real story!!" Wenyan grew more and more agitated as she couldn’t pry the truth from Shen Jingxiu’s lips, and his remarks became increasingly offensive.

But Shen Jingxiu was also holding on by a thread.

He should not have treated Wenyan this way; it wasn’t his original intention.

If someone dared to make Wenyan feel aggrieved, he would never let that person off easily.

But at this moment, the person causing Wenyan distress was none other than himself.

He lowered his head, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration: "What I said is the truth. Go back home. I’ll look at your messages after I’ve sorted out my things. If you need a reply now, I can also reply to you."

??? What was he saying?

Wenyan felt like she was about to cry out of frustration.

"Shen Jingxiu! Are you out of your mind, have I given you too much face? Do you really think I’m so desperate for your few crappy replies? I came to you straight away today because I care about you, my brother, and I don’t want any misunderstandings between our family."

"And what about you? How have you been acting? I can’t understand at all what you’re doing. You say you’re telling the truth, yet you can’t even show your phone to prove it, which is very suspicious. I’m not being unreasonable; there’s obviously something wrong with you."

Yes, in her heart, they were siblings, a family.

But his thoughts were already derailing, and he no longer dared to allow himself to be close to her.

"Wenyan, if you keep going, that really will be creating a scene for no reason."

"I trust you my ass! You’re the one making a scene!" Wenyan was truly at her wit’s end.

The more she thought, the angrier she got, anger robbing her of control over her tears, which began to swirl in her eyes.

"Shen Jingxiu, you’ve changed! Let me tell you, I’m not like you, I’m more honest. I came today with the genuine intention to resolve the issue. I’m not making trouble out of nothing, my conscience is clear."

"Keep acting like that and you’ll make me hate you, leading to this outcome. If in the future someone ends up regretting this, that person is definitely not going to be me. I’ll give you one more chance, tell me the truth, or I really will turn around and leave."

Wenyan’s ability to cry on cue was always impressive, her tears falling freely as if they cost nothing, like pearls slipping off a broken string, one after another.

She was probably only fifty percent as upset as she seemed, but those tears made her appear five hundred percent more heartbroken, wronged, and sad.

Shen Jingxiu had never seen her cry so heartbreakingly in real life before; his heart felt like it was being clenched by a hand that had been hovering around his chest.

But he couldn’t give up halfway.

He couldn’t change his mind just because she was crying.

He looked up at Wenyan: "Is this a threat? Then go ahead and try."

"Fine! Very well!" Wenyan quickly raised her hand to wipe the tears away, "Then I have nothing else to say."

Stepping forward, Wenyan brushed past Shen Jingxiu.

In that instant, Shen Jingxiu felt as though something drained out of him, leaving a gaping void inside.

But this was not the outcome he truly wanted.

What he wanted was never to push her away; not even a step, not even half a step.

"Wenyan."

Just as Wenyan’s hand touched the doorknob, Shen Jingxiu suddenly turned around and clasped her wrist.

"Don’t go."

Wenyan’s inner thoughts: [Damn, it’s good I wasn’t quick with my movements, and my tears weren’t shed for nothing. Shen Jingxiu, oh Shen Jingxiu, why can’t reason work with you, and you have to enact this drama? You must be a glutton for punishment, aren’t you?]

The irritating Shen Jingxiu -_-||: "..."

So were the tears real? Was the sadness, sorrow, and grievance genuine?

Am I lying, and is she also acting? In this world, what is truly real?
