It made me completely abandon all the distractions that I should not have as a bride-to-be, and then I became as calm as I waited for the day of early September to come, even if there were difficulties and dangers ahead, but it could not stop me from staying with him for the rest of my life.

It happened half a month after our marriage was decided, and for some reason, suddenly one day, major newspapers and the Internet in Luzhou City reported on the 'real' life experience of Duan Ruochen, the deputy general manager of Hongda Real Estate, and the content was the same, all of which said that Duan Ruochen's mother was once the daughter of a lowly domestic maid of the Duan family, and once climbed into the bed of the master Duan Hongtao, she gave birth to her son Duan Ruochen, and then the mother and son successively 'turned positive' negative news.

I don't like to know other people's gossip, so gossip news has never been my concern, but when I first saw these news, I was shocked.

I have never thought about why Duan Ruochen and his parents are strangers, and I always think that since marriage is a matter for the two of us, other people and things naturally have nothing to do with me, but the protagonist in this gossip news is my future husband, so I am naturally very worried.

From the time I have been with Duan Ruochen for more than half a year, I know that he is still a melancholy and introverted man in his bones, if these news are true, then its sudden exposure will undoubtedly tear apart his old scars that have been sealed for many years.

Things are the same as I expected, since that day, his temper has become more and more weird, worse than when he was in the hospital before, usually at home is fine, most of the time he is silent, in the company is different, sometimes irritable, inexplicably angry at the staff, sometimes quiet, become approachable.

I know that he is uncomfortable, so I dare not leave him, whenever he is angry at others, I am silent, of course, I am not afraid that his anger will affect me, but I want to stand quietly by his side, silently accompany him, feel his sadness and pain.

In fact, his irritability, his anxiety, and his pain, I saw them one by one, and felt the same way, and I knew that he was not irritated and anxious because his life experience was revealed, but after many years, when those painful memories resurfaced in front of his eyes, his heart would still fluctuate, just like I once deliberately recalled the gloomy time when my parents left, it would always be like heartbreaking, sad and irrepressible.

In those days, Duan Ruochen slept very unsteadily at night, and I often slept until midnight, when I heard the sound of anxious footsteps and lighters in the living room, so I also became very awake at night.

Once, when I slept until midnight, I faintly heard the sound of forbearance crying from outside, I quickly got up, and there was no one in the living room and his room, but I found him on the balcony, and I saw him sitting on the balcony in a decadent manner, with red eyes and a large pile of empty beer cans beside him.

"Ruochen, your leg hasn't fully recovered, how can you destroy yourself like this?" I was so shocked that I hurriedly walked up and tried to help him down, but when my hand touched his body, he savagely pushed him away.

"I don't need you to take care of it, and I don't need your sympathy and pity."

"Ruochen, we are about to become husband and wife, I only care about you, how can I sympathize and pity you?"

"Ye Shen'er, are you like me these days, you have never slept peacefully?"

"If you sleep soundly, I will be safe." I don't affirm, I don't deny.

"Ye Shen'er, do you know why I never took you to my home?" Duan Ruochen asked me with a wry smile, I didn't squeak, waiting for him to continue.

"Because I am indeed an illegitimate child, although my mother has been turned positive, but her identity back then was the daughter of a lowly maid of the Duan family, she climbed into the bed of the male master with her beauty and scheming, and quietly gave birth to me, after the real Mrs. Duan died of illness, she became the head of the Duan family, and Mrs. Duan was envied by everyone." Duan Ruochen laughed at himself.

"Isn't that good? At least you don't have to carry that title now. ”

"Although her goal in life has been achieved, my father has always regarded our mother and son as a shame, although my father made my mother become Mrs. Duan, but he has always looked down on my mother's humble status, and even more disgusted with me, a former illegitimate child. And my mother, in her life, is dedicated to how to become the real Mrs. Duan, my son, in his eyes, is just a powerful tool to enter the Duan family, so when she entered the Duan family, I also became dispensable. ”

"Ruochen, that's all a matter of the previous generation, why should you take it to heart? Everyone has his own choice, no matter what your mother does to you, as long as she is in peace, as for your father, whether he is ashamed of you or not, why should you care, at least he recognizes you as a son, otherwise how can he hand over the huge company to your brother to take care of? I didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so I had to stand as a bystander and comment objectively.

"Shen'er, remember you asked me before, why my name is Ruochen?" Duan Ruochen was silent, and asked me again after a while, and I nodded.

"Ruochen, Ruochen, because I was born, it was as low as dust, and dust is at least not afraid of people, but in my childhood, and even in my youth, even dust is not as good, at that time, no one was willing to play with me, they all scolded me in front of my illegitimate child, some children of the same age even hit me with bricks, scolded me for being a shameless little mongrel, from that time, in addition to forbearance, I was lying in my grandmother's arms and crying, kind and weak grandmother could only hug me and cry, my poor grandmother, Since I came to this world, I was taken back to my hometown by my ruthless mother, a small fishing town by the sea, and took on the responsibility of raising me, so since then I have been thinking about how good it would be if it was possible, I really wish I was an orphan and had no father and mother. ”

"So, what about later?"

"Later, my grandparents died, but at that time I was still a wild seed who could not see the light, my mother was still a humble domestic servant of the Duan family, I lost the protection of my grandparents and grandmothers, and I no longer had to rely on, my mother had to take me back to Luzhou, but I thought that I was about to face my father, whom I had never met, and it was very likely that I would dine with him at the same table, meet under the same roof, and I didn't know how awkward it was, so I resolutely refused to come back.

Later, my brother finally came forward, he helped me find a house in Luzhou alone, and sent someone to serve me, and he would come to play with me on holidays, teach me to do homework, buy delicious food for me to eat, and buy toys that my peers like to play.

Later, the real head of the Duan family, that is, my brother's mother, passed away due to illness, and my mother's status in the Duan family changed, and soon she also became Mrs. Duan. ”

I knew in my heart, it turned out that the home we live in now was bought by Duan Ruoxuan for Duan Ruochen, no wonder he has been reluctant to move out, and he has refused to decorate when he gets married, I think it is because of Duan Ruoxuan, it seems that Duan Ruoxuan's status in Duan Ruochen's heart is actually quite important.

"Actually, your life is not low, at least your brother, he is good to you!" I didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so I had to mention Duan Ruoxuan, the man I would never be able to see through.

"Do you know why I always look like I'm ignoring my brother in front of me? Because his image in my eyes is too perfect, in front of him, I always feel calm, just like the names of the two of us, he is like a beautiful son of the sky, magnificent, and I, since birth, have lived like dust in the world.

My brother, he was ten years older than me, and in my childhood, he had zero contact with me, and for some reason, when I was just in junior high school, he suddenly found me, and I was scared of him, and you know what he said to me? He told me that since I have the blood of the Duan family in my body, I belong to the descendants of the Duan family, and there is no difference between me and him, so I naturally have a part in the rise and fall of the Duan family, so I must fight for the rise and fall of the Duan family like him. I didn't know what was going on, but I didn't want to figure it out, because I had never felt so respected and valued, so I happily accepted his arrangement. ”

"I understand, when I went to Yuhai Hot Spring Resort that time, you said that you used to go with your family often, and it seems that your brother must have taken you there often." I nodded, and it dawned on me.

"I didn't expect you to remember." Duan Ruochen smiled and nodded, "My brother should be the most selfless person in the world!" Since I started high school, every summer vacation, he will personally take me to the company for an internship, at that time we are almost inseparable, eating, drinking and living together, although very tired, but also I live the most fulfilling and happiest time, and then my brother also persuaded me to go home, I refused, and my brother will no longer persuade me in the future. ”

"It's been so many years, don't you still have a grudge against your parents?"

"Resentment, there is! They let me come to this world, and gave me such an unbearable childhood, not only did they not feel a trace of guilt, but they regarded me as a shame, just ask me how I could not have resentment in my heart, but after all these years, my heart has long been numb, and I can't tell whether I hate them or not. Duan Ruochen said with a wry smile.
