166 Holding An Umbrella For You
Shen Yin’s heart skipped a beat. She knew that Shen Luo was referring to the meal she had with Cheng Huo that day.
She secretly glanced at Lian Jing and saw that his face was cold and distant. His cold aura made her shiver.
Shen Nian reached out and tugged at Lian Jing’s shirt. He looked up and smiled sweetly. “Daddy, don’t forget what you heard that day.”
What had he heard that day?
Shen Yin had personally admitted that she was not looking for another man. Shen Nian had even shouted loudly to ensure that Lian Jing, who was hiding upstairs, could hear them.
He knew that he should not be angry, but he could not help feeling sad.
Whenever he thought about Shen Yin had a meal with someone else and how she had chatted and laughed with him, he could not help feeling angry.
Seeing that her words were effective, Shen Luo said even more smugly, “That man was very nice to my sister. Unfortunately, I said too much and told him that my sister had been divorced. He was so angry that he ran off.”
Her thinking was very simple. All these rich and powerful men preferred chaste girls. Since the other man had abandoned Shen Yin over this, this man would be the same.
Shen Yin’s divorce was an indelible stain. Shen Luo wanted this handsome man to know that he had also been deceived by this woman!
But to her surprise, Lian Jing only raised his head calmly and glanced at her coldly. “Are you done?”
Shen Luo gaped in surprise. She had not expected Lian Jing to react like that. “You… you don’t mind? She was someone else’s plaything.”
Lian Jing frowned in displeasure. “You should be glad that you’re a woman.”
“What?” Shen Luo asked in bewilderment. She could not follow his train of thought.
However, Lian Jing suddenly looked at Shen Cheng murderously. “I don’t hit women, but you can suffer on her behalf.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lian Jing raised his long leg and kicked Shen Cheng’s butt.
Shen Cheng could not withstand this kick He fell on his knees pathetically. His knees hit the hard cement ground, and he grimaced in pain.
Shen Luo was terrified. She hurried to her father and cried, “Dad, is your leg alright? I’ll send you to the hospital!”
Shen Cheng pointed at Lian Jing’s with a trembling finger. “You can’t hit me like that. You have to pay! You have to pay for my medical fees!”
Lian Jing did not even look at them. He looked coldly at Lin He, who was watching and plotting against Shen Yin. “If you don’t get lost, I’ll cripple the three of you.”
Lin He trembled under his gaze. It was as if she had been walking alone in a dark forest and a poisonous snake had suddenly darted out in front of her,f flicking its tongue and looking coldly at its prey.
She did not doubt Lian Jing’s words. She helped Shen Cheng up and dragged her daughter, Shen Luo, out of sight.
The raindrops pattered on their shoulders, soaking their clothes. Other than the sound of the rain, the cemetery was completely silent.
Shen Yin looked at the smiling black-and-white photo of her grandfather on the tombstone. Her heart ached. She squatted down and subconsciously raised her hand to stroke her grandfather’s aged face.
“Shen Yin, the rain is getting heavier,” Lian Jing reminded her softly.
Shen Yin turned around in a daze and looked at Lian Jing and Shen Nian, who was frowning. She forced a smile and said, “You go back first. I’ll stay with Grandpa for a while more.”
She had not visited her grandfather for six years. She really wanted to spend more time with him. There were still many things that she had not told her grandfather. She had yet to apologize for not fulfilling her grandfather’s wish. She wanted to stay and keep him company for a while.
The small raindrops suddenly turned into a curtain of rain. They smashed mercilessly into this place where the dead slept.
Water droplets rolled down her hair and into her eyes. She raised her hand to dry her eyes, but she did not know if they were tears or rain. Something suddenly sheltered her head from the rain, and not a single drop fell on it.
She looked up in a daze and saw that Lian Jing had taken off his coat and was holding it above her and Shen Nian’s heads. However, the man who was protecting them was already half drenched.
She looked at her grandfather’s tombstone and for a moment, she seemed to hear her grandfather’s laughter.
Her heart suddenly pounded. She stood up abruptly and looked around expectantly, but there was no familiar hunched figure.
Shen Yin secretly sighed at her own stupidity. As a forensic pathologist, she should not believe in ghosts and gods. However, when it came to her own deceased relatives, she actually foolishly wished that these superstitions were true.
Perhaps Grandpa was watching her from somewhere. Shen Yin stared blankly at the photo on the tombstone and murmured in her heart, “Grandpa, can you see us? I’ve brought your great-grandson to see you, and… the man beside me. Unfortunately, he’s unwilling to give me a home.”
