Chapter 64: Behind the Glory

The atmosphere was faintly fermented at this moment.

Shang Jingyu slowly raised his right hand, as if to touch my cheek, and his magical face couldn't help but get closer, I was stunned, and subconsciously turned my face sideways to avoid it.

Sensing the abnormality of his behavior, he was also startled, and then unnaturally withdrew his arm that was parked in the air, and his burning gaze was obviously retracted.

"That...... You made it up, no wonder I sound a little bit of Fabelt Amun......" he changed the subject a little awkwardly.

"yes." I hung my head slightly and agreed.

"Then I, I'll send you back." As he spoke, he took the lead towards the luxurious sports car parked on the side of the road.

Less to say along the way.

When I approached the door, I was about to get out of the car, but Shang Jingyu insisted on sending me to the door.

"Thank you for today." He stood in the night, his smile shining, "I think, that Miss Su is very angry, and my aunt shouldn't force me again in the short term." ”

I couldn't help but hook the corners of my mouth, "However, I think your aunt really cares about you." ”

"yes." He nodded, "Since I was a child, except for my mother, she is the only one who is really good to me." ”

"What about your father?" I blurted out, only to see the dimness in his eyes in the next moment.

The night air was suddenly a little damp, so humid that it was sticky, and I unconsciously lowered my eyelids.

Every family has some past that they don't want to be known to outsiders, and some of the past they don't even want to touch, not to mention such a large family, just like Furcumins - my heart is dark, what a glorious and noble surname, but behind this brilliance, there are also all kinds of wounds that are difficult to hide.

"I'm sorry,......" I whispered, but I didn't know why I was apologizing.

He paused for a moment, took my hand suddenly, and his voice was resolute, "Follow me." ”

Previously, I had only heard from Shang Xinyi that his temporary residence in the UK was not far from my home, but I didn't expect it to be only a five-minute drive away. He led me all the way into the house, which was spacious and magnificent, much larger than ordinary villas, but he actually walked through the living room and led me directly to a study.

It is said that it is a study, but it is inevitably empty, there are no quaint bookshelves and books that the general owner likes to use to highlight his cultural literacy, and there are no gorgeous and high-end furnishings, the only eye-catching thing in the room is a portrait hanging on the central wall.

My eyes were immediately attracted, the woman in the painting is beautiful, full of classical oriental temperament, soft black hair pulled up in an elegant bun at the back of the head, with a shallow and soft smile at the corners of her lips, and even her eyes are soft as water, as if her beloved is as far as her eyes can see. She sat quietly in her chair with her hands folded, and the sunlight through the window shrouded her, and the whole picture seemed quiet and beautiful.

When it comes to the painter's brushwork, it is indescribably detailed and vivid, presumably the person in the painting is observed, and a smile is engraved into the eyes, so that it can be depicted so full of charm.

"She's my mother." Before I could ask, Shang Xinyu was already behind me, and slowly answered, "My father painted it for her when she was young...... You may wonder why my mother was Chinese and not Mrs. Stewart, as the world is recognized. ”

I nodded, "Curious indeed, but why are you hanging it here?" ”

He sat down on the couch and fixed his gaze on the painting, "because it can't walk into Stewart's house in a dignified manner, just like its owner - it's a scandal, and that's true for my father's family, and it's true for my mother's family." ”

"Oh?" I sat down and listened.

"When my father met my mother, he was actually married, officially took over the Stewart family, and had Mrs. Stewart...... My mother knew this, but she couldn't help but fall in love with him, and we fell in love," he chuckled, "and it should have been a good time." ”

I bowed my head, "This painting must have been painted at that time, right?" You can see from your mother's eyes that she loves your father very much, and your father loves her too, right? ”

He chuckled, "Yes, my father's union with that Mrs. Stewart had a very commercial element to it, and it was my mother who gave him a taste of pure love without any utilitarian nature. ”

"Someone once told me that love is the most praiseworthy selfish desire of the human soul." I smiled, but I could quite understand his father's extramarital affair, "What a happy thing it is to have someone who you love and love you in your life, and what reason is there not to grasp it and not to fight for it." ”

"However, not all people can understand this so-called true love, especially when it involves the honor and honor of the two families." He said slowly, his eyes as silent as a cold star in the dark night.

I was silent, and I could already imagine what was going to happen.

"My mother is the daughter of a Chinese entrepreneur and a well-off family, and when her extramarital affair with my father came to light, it immediately made a huge wave within the family, you know, what it means in China for a girl to do such a thing."

I nodded, "I'm afraid there's only one way to break them up." ”

"My grandfather ordered them to stop dating immediately or he would kick my mother out of the house, and at the time, my mother was pregnant."

"And on your father's side, I'm afraid it's the same situation, right?" I said, "Although he has become the rightful leader, the family elder will not allow him to do such a thing that damages the reputation of the family, either severing relations with your mother, or the position of the person in charge will not be guaranteed......"

"Indeed, and my father's ......," he sighed, "it is clear that he cannot give up all that he has. In the same way, he was reluctant to give up on my mother. My mother was a very stubborn person, and since she had me at the time, her parents would not agree to keep the child if she continued to stay at home, so she resolutely left the house. ”

I sighed in my heart and was silent, the woman sacrificed to such a point for a married man, but the man may not be able to repay her. But then again, if people drink water and know themselves, who can really say anything about love? Maybe she won't get a name or recognition, but her mother is also willing.

Her father settled her in Australia and began a real underground romance. He couldn't admit our mother and son to the outside world, so he had to go to see us secretly every time. As he consolidates his power in the family and tries his best to cover up the scandal, it is not easy for us to meet him, sometimes even for months. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't smile.

The years are far away, and the bitterness and suffering of the year are inevitably sad now.

Looking at the irony under his indifferent appearance, and the sadness that flashed in his eyes, for some reason, my heart was tight.
