Guiqiu the Hostess Let Go of the Salted Fish - Chapter 108
“Hey, I heard that you are the adopted daughter of the Qin family, right?”
Came with a malicious voice. Shen Shu stopped, she turned her head, her forehead drooped heavily, blocking her silent eyes, only the lips were pressed together tightly, becoming a stubborn word.
“It looks like a dog, but you have to be a little self-knowing about it. How can a mouse’s child become a phoenix.”
The speaker was a white woman. She had developed a very good figure in high school and was wrapped in tights. The men and women going back and forth couldn’t help looking at her. She showed a smug smile and nodded Shen Shu: “Give me a bag.”
Shen Shu took a step back.
She knew exactly what these people were thinking. In name, she is just the adopted daughter of the Qin family. Although she is an adopted daughter and the clothes are not bad, her surname has not changed, and she is the only one who picks up and drop off, so she doesn’t pay much attention to it at first glance. So someone bullied her secretly and asked her to serve tea and water, as if they could also step on Qin’s foot.
Shen Shu also heard people discuss that he might be from a family that favors sons in China. He was born as a daughter who was thrown into an orphanage. So the Qin family did charity, adopted her for fame, and so on.
If so, it might be better.
Shen Shu lowered his head and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, the white woman nodded her finger on Shen Shu’s head, and said in a vicious tone: “I’m talking, can’t you hear me! Are you deaf?”
Shen Shu still did not speak.
The white woman became annoyed and pushed Shen Shu hard.
Shen Shu’s small arms and legs were thinner than ordinary Asians. She couldn’t stand this strength, and she fell backward.
So he fell into a warm embrace and was half-wrapped like a princess.
Shen Shu felt her heart throbbing, she opened her eyes wide, and saw the light green sweater first, and then a long, thin white neck with a very thin gold chain tied to it. Further up, there is a thin, pointed chin. The chin was tapped down, and then amber eyes were revealed, which were different from the warm embrace, these eyes were cold.
When looking at Shen Shu, Shen Shu felt as if he had been scanned by some sophisticated instrument, and coldly judged his own value.
Of course she remembers the owner of these eyes. She is afraid of her, and can’t help but secretly go to see this win the world’s favorite, everyone likes, her relatives by blood.
“I…” Shen Shu said, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and under the quiet gaze of these eyes, he quickly lowered his head, “I…yes, I’m sorry.”
“…You have nothing to apologize to me.”
Qin Yan said, his voice calm. Shen Shu seemed to hear a little disappointment from it.
But how is it possible?
Qin Yan held Shen Shu’s back and watched her stand firm, and then withdrew his hand. When he turned his head, Shen Shu saw that the white woman was still there. She was a little surprised, and then she saw the bodyguard with a big waist at the back of the white woman, and she glanced at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan is ten years older than Shen Shu. When Shen Shu was a young high school student, she already had the charm of a mature woman. She is thin and tall, with a windbreaker over her body, with the fashion sense of a street model.
She bowed her head, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her fingers thinly.
Shen Shu looked sad and said in a low voice: “I…I am not dirty…”
Qin Yan raised her eyebrows. She didn’t say anything, but put her handkerchief in her pocket, put her hands in her pockets, and looked at the white woman. The white woman stepped back subconsciously, but with the bodyguard behind her, she couldn’t do it either.
“Shen Shu is my sister. It is the daughter of our Qin family. It is not your turn to take care of our Qin family’s affairs.”
Qin Yan said three sentences in total. After speaking, she ignored the other party, and hooked her finger towards Shen Shu, as if summoning some pet, and turned and left regardless of Shen Shu’s wishes.
But she is an individual, not a pet that comes and goes on demand.
Shen Shu was indignant, but also followed Qin Yan obediently, with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, unlike a pet, like a maid.
Qin Yan walked slower and slower, Shen Shu was thinking of his own affairs in his heart, and didn’t pay attention. Gradually, the two sisters came together side by side. Only then did Shen Shu realize that she was a little unclear, so she turned her head and looked up to look at Qin Yan. Qin Yan didn’t look at herself, she stared at the front, but there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
Faint, like the fragrance of cedar on her body. There is a gentle fragrance in the coldness, and you have to get close to see the little softness and warmth.
What is she happy for? Shen Shu couldn’t help thinking.
But it was not because of himself, Shen Shu thought again.
On the next day, the nth day, Shen Shu never saw the white girl in school again. She has someone to pick up her to and from school, and when she gets on and off the bus, the personal butler in a neat suit will call her second lady kindly and politely.
Shen Shu is always worried. She has never experienced such a situation before, and feels that all this is like a dream.
So everything in the dream dissipated.
When Shen Shu opened his eyes and faced the intricate rose vine pattern on the ceiling, Shen Shu finally realized that he was dreaming. Dreaming of the past, the past… when she was still under the fence of the Qin family.
Yes, she always felt that way. She was like a wild child who broke into someone else’s house suddenly, helpless, and they saw her pitifully giving her a bite of food. Although she lives a life that seems to be no different from those around her, she has always been under the fence.
Shen Shu let out a long sigh of relief, and now…
The door was suddenly opened.
Shen Shu wrapped the quilt around himself and looked at the tall and thin woman who entered the door, with gritted teeth in her voice: “You should knock on the door!”
“I knocked, but you didn’t answer. I’m afraid you will faint in it.”
Qin Yan replied, putting the warm white water on Shen Shu’s bedside table, and she stared at Shen Shu: “If you promise me to monitor in your bedroom, I can knock on the door every time until you respond.”
“…Don’t even think about it.” Shen Shu replied. She wrapped herself in the quilt and looked at Qin Yan, “What is monitoring is abnormal behavior!”
“I’m just worried about you.”
Qin Yan sat aside. There is a huge carpet next to it. On the carpet is a very comfortable black walnut single-seat sofa. The cushions are comfortable and can accommodate the whole person. Qin Yan sat there, her long legs stretched loosely, she picked up the blanket on the side and put it on her lap. Seeing that Shen Shu hadn’t gotten up yet, she raised her eyebrows.
“You sleep naked?”
Shen Shu: “…No.”
Qin Yan: “Then why do you wrap yourself up like this? Shy?”
Several magazines were scattered in the cabinet on the side. Qin Yan glanced at them. They were all magazines belonging to a small hand-crafted circle, bearing the distinctive personal mark of the producer. She picked it up, turned a page, and scanned it.
Shen Shu looked at Qin Yan’s master’s behavior, and his molars grind: “I’m not shy, but I’m not used to being in front of outsiders…”
Qin Yan turned a page without lifting his head: “I am not an outsider, I am your sister. After the death of your parents, you have no relatives closer to me than me.”
Shen Shu got out of bed quickly, of course she was not convinced, but she put on a coat while saying: “Who said, I still have a daughter…my daughter is my closest relative.”
Qin Yan sighed and looked up at Shen Shu: “She has only half of your genes. And you and me, we share the genes of the same couple. We are the closest, closer than our parents and children. .”
This is the first time Shen Shu has heard of this theory. People in the world always think that children are the natural bond of connection. Parents and children bear ethical filial piety and share blood. As for brothers and sisters, of course they are also close, but they will always be one level behind.
Shen Shu looked back at Qin Yan, she looked at Qin Yan’s stern face, no longer the radiance she remembered, with a little sick look.
She is really old, but the years have tempered her even more sharply, and her temperament is outstanding.
“So, I won’t hurt you. You have to believe me.”
Qin Yan’s voice fell, Shen Shu lowered his head, put on his clothes in silence, and did not speak.
Shen Shu knew what Qin Yan meant. They were the same parents, the same gene, and the same disease. But there is only one kidney that can be transplanted. Qin Yan mentioned it to Shen Shu a long time ago to prepare her for the operation.
But Shen Shu couldn’t.
She could not accept this “gift”, just as she could not accept Qin Yan’s intrusion into her life without any worries.
How can she accept it?
The “elder sister” who had never liked her in her opinion suddenly showed her affection for her. It was as if the world had become illusory, comparable to her irresponsible parents suddenly saying “I love you” to her.
If she accepts this kindness, maybe her life will be more earth-shaking, right?
Shen Shu couldn’t help thinking, even though she was taken back to her manor in this city by Qin Yan, even though Qin Yan said in front of everyone that she was the second in command of the Qin family. But Shen Shu felt that this was because he had been dreaming.
In the dream, the eldest sister she had longed for finally stopped her hurried footsteps, turned her head back, and pity the gaze that had been going forward fell on her.
“I…” Shen Shu lowered her head, she hooked the buttons of her coat.
It is strange that although they are the same parents, but perhaps because of insufficient nutrition in their childhood, Shen Shu is not as tall and slender as his elder sister, but is much shorter. When wearing a wide coat, it is like a suit. Children in adult clothes have a kind of rebellious childishness.
“I… still think about it.”
Qin Yan lowered her eyes. She stopped looking at Shen Shu, but said softly: “It doesn’t matter, you can think about it slowly. Only this time, I want to remind you not to think about running away. The children have grown up and have their own. Life, and our parents have passed away. We only have each other, and before I die, you still have a long time to think about it, a long, long time.”
