Chapter Eighty-Nine: Temptation
When Shuqing returned home, Hu Sheng was sitting in the living room waiting for her. As she pushed the door in, he stood up and looked at her.
"Aunt Shuqing!" he shouted.
Shuqing's hand closing the door was stunned for a moment, she glanced back at him, nodded, and closed the door gently.
"Haven't you rested yet?" she walked over to him.
"No, I want to wait for you to come back. He spread his hands and made a gesture that didn't make any sense.
Shuqing pointed to the couch and motioned for him to sit down. Then she sat down next to him. She put her black canvas bag beside her and sank herself into a cool chair. She pursed her mouth, frowned slightly, put her hands on the armrests, and looked at Hu Sheng sharply. Hu Sheng wore a white shirt and a pair of white jeans, he looked clean and fresh, he didn't look like he was in Longmen at all, he looked handsome, elegant and very - well- very calm.
"Did something happen?" he sat down, tugging at the legs of his jeans with both hands as he sat down.
"Why did you only think of coming to Li Zhen a year later?" Shuqing pondered for a moment and asked without answering. "If she hinted to you at that time that she was in danger, why? would you wait until now?"
Hu Sheng looked at Shuqing, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He rubbed his hands back and forth on his thighs restlessly. Shuqing looked at his hand, he looked at Shuqing's gaze, laughed dryly, and then stopped rubbing his hands.
"I don't know if I should tell you or not, I think I can trust you. I can only trust you, I have done the analysis, you are a good person, I think you may be willing to help me. Hu Sheng laughed dryly twice.
"But—" Shuqing said.
"But, Zhenzhen asked me, she told me to keep an eye on you! she said you went to Longmen to spy on her, to-"
"Report to her mother?" Shuqing smiled slightly.
"Uh- I think so. ”
"You believe her, maybe not, otherwise why would you come to me?"
"So I waited a year, I didn't quite believe it, and in addition to showing you before, she gave me this, the one that was given to me recently. With that, Hu Sheng stood up, bent over, and handed Shuqing his mobile phone, which contained a picture. "She warned me that I must not let you see this. ”
Shuqing took Hu Sheng's phone and looked at the picture displayed on it, her face twitched slightly, and the look of doubt quickly flashed through her eyes. She returned the phone to Hu Sheng.
"You must love her very much, right?" said Shuqing.
Hu Sheng smiled awkwardly, didn't deny it, just said: "She has remarried, I only found out after I was released from prison, I hope she can be happy." I just hope she can be happy. ”
"If anything happens to her, she believes that you will protect her as soon as possible, just as you did back then. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't want to believe it, but I think she smashed Zhou Zhiwen's head with a hammer, right? ”
"No, no, she didn't. ”
"I also believed she didn't. Shuqing said and glanced sideways at the black canvas bag next to her, the brown paper bag An Xiaowen gave her was lying inside.
Hu Sheng followed her gaze to the pocket, but he found nothing.
"You're a good person. Shuqing said.
Hu Sheng didn't speak, just looked at Shuqing quietly, his face was expressionless, only his violently undulating chest exposed his uneasy heart.
"No, I'm a murderer!"
Shuqing looked at him, thinking about the three words murderer, to be honest, these three words couldn't describe the man in front of him who looked a little timid.
"Li Zhen will do whatever you ask you to do, right? She asked you to take the blame for her, and you went without hesitation, she spread your domestic violence against her everywhere, and you never refuted the stories she made up. You've made yourself a murderer, you've made yourself notorious, and the people of Longmen Town have avoided you. Is it all because of love? Because you love her! You love her more than anything else, and if you were asked to give your life for her, you would be happy to do it. But, Hu Sheng, have you asked yourself? Do you know her? Do you know the ex-wife who shared your bed?"
Hu Sheng's face was red, his ears were red, he gasped for breath, he kept biting his cheeks, and his thin lips were tightly pursed. He looked at Shuqing, and his eyes flashed with violence. It's like an embarrassing anger after being seen through.
"Of course I know her, we've known her for many years, when we were in college, she's a kind girl, she's kind and kind, gentle and considerate. She would never, never, kill her own father. He said.
"How did she know it was her father? That's the problem, isn't it?"
Hu Sheng looked up at Shuqing, and tears were shining in his eyes.
"You don't know she's a psychopath, a very unstable psychopath. ”
"No, no, no, Zhenzhen is not mentally ill, she is not, we have lived together for a long time and we have a child. She is not mentally ill, she is just overly sad because of Xiaoxi's departure. She was just a wounded mother. Hu Sheng tried his best to quibble, he said too hard, and the spit flew.
"She killed Xiaoxi, she did it, right?" Shuqing was aggressive, she remembered Li Yiwen's sister in An Xiaowen's mouth, she cooked her own son. That seriously mentally ill person.
"No—"
