Chapter 298: Chapter 299: I’m Just Her Big Brother

Translator: 549690339

Shen Manbing couldn’t describe how she felt.

Her eyes were rimmed in red, her heart roiled like a storm, as if her world had been completely overturned.

To others, this might be an insignificant matter from the past.

But to her, it was important.

Shen Manbing suddenly stood up, “Thank you for telling me this, but I have something to do. I need to leave.”

Shen Manbing walked straight out of the lounge.

Seeing her like this, Xia Yangyang surmised she was probably going to confront Shen Shichuan about it.

Xia Yangyang sighed.

Actually, she wasn’t sure if telling Shen Manbing all of this was a good thing or not.

But after all, she knew…

Nevertheless, this was the truth.

About half an hour later.

Shen Shichuan’s secretary, Zhou Fei, came to find Xia Yangyang: “Miss Xia, the CEO wants to see you.”

Xia Yangyang followed Zhou Fei to the CEO’s office.

One side of Shen Shichuan’s office was a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

At this very moment, he stood by the window, hands behind his back, his figure stretched tall. Oddly enough, Xia Yangyang was reminded of the verse: “Lonely at the top.”

Xia Yangyang knocked on the door.

Shen Shichuan turned his head.

Xia Yangyang closed the door and walked in.

Shen Shichuan spoke first: “Did you tell Manbing that it was me who saved her from drowning when she was a child?”

Xia Yangyang nodded: “All these years, you knew she had misunderstood. Why didn’t you ever clarify?”

Shen Shichuan’s gaze was deep: “Letting her believe it was Ah Chen was fine. I thought it would make their relationship stronger.”

“But you probably didn’t realize, the drowning incident played a big part in why Shen Manbing fell in love with Ah Chen. If you had told her earlier, the one she loved might have been…”

“Xia Yangyang, I am her elder brother!”

Shen Shichuan’s severe tone cut off Xia Yangyang before she could finish.

“But you two aren’t related by blood.”

“Even if we aren’t related by blood, I’m still her elder brother, always just a family member to her.”

Xia Yangyang was silent for a while: “But are you content? Are you content with just being her brother for a lifetime? The thought of her marrying another man, having a child with someone else, doesn’t it hurt you? Can you bear it?”

“Enough, Xia Yangyang, what are you trying to say?”

Shen Shichuan had never been this harsh with her.

It seemed that he was in a hurry to deny something and had even lost his usual composure.

“I’m sorry, Yangyang, just this talk of yours is too inappropriate, I’ve done many things that have wronged you, I did it for Manbing’s future, because she’s my sister, my only family…”

Xia Yangyang suddenly spoke: “Do you know why I suspect you?”

Shen Shichuan was slightly taken aback. He didn’t understand why Xia Yangyang had suddenly changed the topic.

“Actually, you’ve been very secretive. Ah Chen has never managed to find out who tampered with the Kingdom’s Heart. And in daily matters, you’ve always been more considerate of me. Everything you’ve done seems impeccable. But do you know why I suspect you of all people?”

There was a hint of bewilderment in Shen Shichuan’s eyes.

By setting up the trap of the Film Festival Awards, Xia Yangyang was not inviting him into the urn, but instead, she was hunting a turtle from within the urn.

The difference between the two was the latter, Xia Yangyang was certain that he was the hidden hand behind the scenes.

What puzzled Shen Shichuan was that he had always thought his plans were moving at a slow pace. Many of them had not even been put into action.

So far, he was not in danger of revealing his identity.

As Xia Yangyang said, he was impeccable.

He had been trying to figure out where he had made a mistake.
