Of course, it was impossible for Jian Shangwen to stay there and wait for Liang Shen to settle the score with him.

After sending Xiao Hei back, he slipped back into the crowd.

It was late at night, and the cool evening breeze blew on his shoulders. He looked up at the moon and sighed slightly inwardly.

Actually, I was a little impulsive.

He shouldn't have taken action against Cheng Hui too early, as this would easily arouse the vigilance of all parties.

In fact, he has a lot of patience, and some of Cheng Hui's behaviors basically have no impact on him, but... what Cheng Hui should never do is to bring up some things in the past.

An illegitimate child born to a poor woman...

Jian Shangwen stood by the hot spring pool and lowered his eyes. He could see his figure reflected in the pool. The rippling water made his figure a little blurred. He thought of his youth.

The woman was a fisherman's daughter living by the sea. In order to support her family, she sat in the dim night for many days and nights, lighting a not-so-bright lamp to sew fishing nets and process seafood. Her figure was so frail, but she actually supported such a small family.

At that time, Jian Shangwen didn't understand what poverty was.

He only knew that when other children were old enough to play, he and his younger brother could only help his mother with work in order to supplement the family income and earn medical expenses.

Wen Jin has been weak and sickly since childhood. Although they are brothers from the same mother, he is much thinner.

At that time, neighbors always teased him, saying, "What a bad brother! He robbed his brother of his nutrition in the womb."

Jian Shangwen didn't know what this meant, but it didn't stop the young child from believing it. So since he was young, he always gave in to his younger brother in everything, thinking that it was all his fault, that he was a bad boy, and that he owed his younger brother.

So when the man showed up at their house, he told his mother that his wife was infertile and wanted to take a child back home.

At that time, he and Wen Jin hid behind the cabinet and peeked at him curiously.

Father Wen turned around and saw the boy standing next to Wen Jin. It was an old and dim room, and the boy was wearing a yellowed shirt. He was also thin, but his face was fair and delicate. Compared with the timid Wen Jin, he was more calm and generous. He just stood there quietly, attracting people's attention.

Just a glance.

Father Wen thought that he should take him back.

After he left, there were a lot more things in the house. The man looked very, very rich in his suit and tie, and he also brought a lot of delicious food that they had never eaten before.

The younger brother devoured the cake ravenously and said in a vague tone: "Brother, it's delicious. I wish I could eat it all the time..."

At that time, Wen Jin was sick again and was very thin.

The mother's eyes were filled with sorrow. When the man left, he told her which child he wanted to take away. However, compared to her sensible older son, she was more worried about her frail and sickly younger son. Wen Jin's health was too poor. If he could not get the best treatment and was not taken good care of, he might not live to grow up.

But......

She hesitated to speak.

Jian Shangwen sat quietly at the table, watching his brother who was coughing and shaking all over while eating cake. He lowered his eyes and pushed the other snacks in front of Wen Jin. He looked at his mother and said, "Let my brother go."
