Chapter 37 Chapter 37. More Suspicious
Shen Yanyanâs question drew the attention of the crowd.
In the beginning, they thought that Shen Tao was annoying.
Now, they were purely curious.
The gossip of strangers always attracted attention.
âShen Yanyan, donât talk nonsense!â Realizing that Shen Yanyan would resist, Shen Tao started to panic.
He just wanted to shut Shen Yanyan up, but he had just established a good image as her brother. If he hit her, his good image would be destroyed.
âNonsense?â Shen Yanyan stood up and faced Shen Tao without fear. âBrother, donât you know whether Iâm talking nonsense? â
Then, Shen Yanyan ignored Shen Tao and continued talking.
âEveryone, heâs my brother but has a bad
attitude towards me. He even scolds and beats
me at every turn.
Itâs different from what he said. I didnât run
away from home in a fit of anger. I chose to resist because he scolded, hit, and humiliated
me.
All in all, heâs abusing me!â
Shen Yanyanâs words were loud and clear.
âDomestic, domestic violence? No, do you have evidence? Young girls nowadays are full of lies. Because of their rebellion, they can say anything.â
One of the onlookers was about to give a long speech.
However, Shen Yanyan unhurriedly
unbuttoned her sleeves as he spoke and
revealed her arm.
Shen Yanyan was so skinny after being
abused by Shen Tao.
Now, countless red and purple marks ran
through her thin arm.
It was a shocking sight.
Those who thought Shen Yanyan was lying
and speaking up for Shen Tao were now speechless.
The cafe fell into silence.
Some people had already realized they had wronged Shen Yanyan by believing Shen Tao.
However, after a long while, there were still people who were unwilling to believe the truth and began to find excuses.
âMaybe, maybe you drew it? I know that the
makeup skills of the young ladies are the
best.â
âYeah! Thereâs a good saying that it might not be true even if you see it with your own eyes.â
âSince the technology of forgery is so good now, itâs not impossible to fake injuries to gain sympathy.â
âEven if your brother did hit you, he might
only be disappointed. Youâre still in the wrong. Apologize to your brother and go
home.â
âWell said! Would your brother hit you if you
didnât do anything wrong?â
âYou canât clap with one hand, and a fly wonât
bite a seamless egg.
â
|| âI
â¦
The stubborn people were frantically looking
for excuses.
In the end, their words even became
distorted.
What did he mean by âif you didnât do
anything wrong, would your brother hit youâ?
Domestic violence was wrong.
This has always been an eternal truth.
Shen Tao was even more pleased with
himself.
âThatâs right; Iâm just being impatient.â Shen
Tao was acting again.
Seeing this, I finally couldnât help it.
||
âFlies donât bite seamless eggs? As long as itâs a stinky egg, even flies would bite it. âCanât you clap with one hand? Guess, does it make a sound if my hand lands on your face?â
I faced the person who spoke up for Shen Tao. From the looks of it, I was only criticizing one of them.
Iâm saying this to all those who donât have
the right values.
The âEliteâ who had been shouting just now unconsciously lowered his head after I finished speaking.
They knew that it was wrong for Shen Tao to abuse Shen Yanyan.
They were just unwilling to admit it.
They were unwilling to admit that they had once helped bad people.
Therefore, they started to speak up for Shen
Tao and found excuses for his past mistakes, trying to make him a good person.
It was laughable.
âWell said! I support you.â

In the silence, the little brother sitting in the corner suddenly shouted.
Since he took the lead, the rest of the clear-headed people also started to speak up for Shen Yanyan.
âThereâs no reason for domestic violence. Itâs
wrong.â
âAll of you have received nine years of compulsory education. Whatâs wrong? Canât you tell right from wrong?â
âMaybe theyâre the fish that slipped through
the net from the nine years of compulsory education.â
âLittle girl, do you need legal help? Although
Iâm not a top lawyer, Iâm more than enough to help you teach that scumbag a lesson.â âHahaha, there are still many good people in
the world! I thought there were no good
people in this world.â
|| âI
They chimed in one after another, expressing
their true thoughts.
Shen Tao, who was already guilty, didnât dare
to argue with those who had spoken up for
him. They lowered their heads profoundly and
could not say a word. Under everyoneâs gaze, I walked up to Shen
Tao and said, âShen Tao, your hypocrisy will
be exposed one day.â
Although Iâm not much taller than Shen Tao, I feel like Iâm looking down on him. However, Shen Tao suddenly laughed eerily. âHahaha, cheese, you wait.
Do you think that Shen Yanyan can get rid of
me? Iâm Shen Yanyanâs brother and her family! Even if everyone knows Iâm wrong, Shen
Yanyan canât change her identity! She should
be under my control and earn money for me!â Shen Tao got more and more excited. After speaking, he looked up and tried to find
a trace of anger on my face. But I wasnât angry. My expression did not change. Letâs not talk about whether or not Shen Tao and Shen Yanyanâs relationship was real. Even though Shen Tao was Shen Yanyanâs
brother, he couldnât stop her from leaving. Shen Yanyan was human.
She was a living person.
Just based on this, Shen Tao could not control
her completely! Under Shen Taoâs expectant gaze, I opened my mouth, and my voice was still as calm as
water, âWhat are you looking forward to?
Are you expecting me to be angry? Or do you think my reaction now is to grab your collar and give you a hard punch?
Youâll slander me after I make an impulsive
decision and say that Iâm trying to hurt you to defeat me?â
I raised my eyebrows and said, without any
mercy.
What I said was precisely what Shen Tao felt
in his heart.
The way he looked at me was initially filled with anger.
But now, it was mixed with fear.
âShen Tao,â I smiled at him. âI have a question to ask you.â
âW-what question?â Shen Tao subconsciously replied. âAre you Shen Yanyanâs brother?â
I went straight to the point without any
hesitation.
||
â¦
Shen Tao was stunned by my sudden question.
Even though he tried his best to hide his
emotions, I still noticed that he avoided my gaze.
He was trying to avoid the question. Because of his actions, I feel my guess is
accurate.
Shen Yanyan was most likely not Shen Taoâs biological sister.
Tsk, the human heart is fearsome. âWhat nonsense are you spouting? How could
Shen Yanyan not be my sister? Her birth certificate is in my hands! Donât doubt my relationship with my sister!
Although sheâs possessed now and doesnât
understand how good I am to her, one day, she will understand!
Youâre deluding Shen Yanyan, Iâm sure of it! But have you ever thought that Shen Yanyan would starve to death and be eliminated from society if she left me?â
Shen Tao kept talking.
I vaguely
remember.
When a person lies, they unconsciously speak
faster and panic, trying to cover up the truth with different words.
What a coincidence.
All of them hit Shen Tao.
