The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 50

new year 5

Shen Meng didn’t know how many times she was woken up in the middle of the night. She turned slightly sideways. There was no warmth within an arm’s length, and there was no incoming call when she picked up her mobile phone. She wanted to continue sleeping, but she couldn’t leave him alone outside without someone to take care of him. Even at the beginning of spring, the wind was still biting outside. She looked at Shen Luo, who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, and her lips softened a little. She wrapped herself in thick clothes, stepped on cotton shoes, and went out.

Fortunately, I had added the contact information of one of his colleagues before, and then I knew where they were. The person on the opposite side seemed to be awakened. He was not fully awake yet. The words he said made Shen Meng feel more painful than a caesarean section without anesthesia.

“They have already dispersed. Brother Jun should be at Yujian Hotel now.”

Shen Meng immediately hung up the phone. Although he didn’t know what they were going to the hotel for, he didn’t think much about it. When he arrived at the door of the hotel, he realized that it didn’t look like a hotel. It was very remote. It looked more like an Internet cafe than a hotel.

When Shen Meng arrived at the door, Su Shangjun happened to come out. He was hugging another person, who seemed to be his colleague. Neither of them noticed Shen Meng and walked directly around her. Shen Meng could clearly see the lingering aftertaste of alcohol on his face. She put one hand around the man’s waist and kept sniffing behind the man’s ear with the tip of her nose.

Su Shangjun looked like he was enjoying himself, but the man he had seduced had a face full of shyness. Shen Meng followed uneasily, the sound of footsteps even louder than his heartbeat. The two came to a convenience store, and then the man refused to go in for some unknown reason. Su Shangjun touched his face to gain courage and walked in. He came out as if he had won a battle, and as soon as he put his hand on the man’s shoulder, he saw Shen Meng who had been following them.

Shen Meng looked at his husband in disbelief, feeling that all her previous memories were blurred. Although she had always been suspicious recently, she still didn’t believe it when the facts were right in front of her.

He is definitely unfamiliar and definitely not something you want to see.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Su Shangjun immediately kept his distance and stumbled to Shen Meng, trying to pull her back.

“Mengmeng, let’s talk about it when we go home, okay?”

“Don’t call me,” Shen Meng shook him off and said, “This is the first time you have called me this name after we got married. I can’t accept it in such a situation.”

“Mengmeng, it’s not what you see. We were just socializing together. He was drunk and said he was hungry. I…I, I, I came to buy him some food. It’s really just like this. You believe me, you have to believe me.”

The louder Su Shangjun’s explanation sounded, the more convincing it seemed.

Shen Meng looked at the person behind him who stayed there. He seemed to have drunk a lot and his eyes were a little blurry. She was afraid that what Su Shangjun did was against the law, and she still had some selfish feelings for him.

“Is it all your will?”

“Mengmeng, will you listen to my explanation?” Su Shangjun said.

“Really?” Shen Meng’s brief words caused the voice-activated lights in the residential building to light up, but he still couldn’t see the face of the person in front of him clearly.

Su Shangjun knew that no matter how hard he tried to explain, he would only look pale, so he said, “Yes…he was the one who found me.”

“You are still shirking your responsibilities, can you be a little more conscious of being a man?” Shen Meng hated him very much for not taking responsibility now.

“It was really him who found me, I didn’t lie to you.”

“Okay, I believe you, you have done this a few times together.”

“…”

Su Shangjun said nothing.

Shen Meng suddenly realized, “Many times, not just with him, right? Even you changed jobs because you fell in love with him, right?”

What was returned was still Su Shangjun’s silence.

“Disgusting.”

The man knew that Su Shangjun would not leave with him today, so he left quietly while the two were quarreling. Su Shangjun and Shen Meng were silent all the way until they got home, both of them were so calm as if this incident had never happened. Shen Meng sat quietly by the bed, calmed down, and said, “Get a divorce.”

The thing that frightened Su Shangjun the most appeared. He had just explained so much just to prevent her from asking for divorce. He immediately knelt at Shen Meng’s feet and assured him in a low voice but very sincerely.

“Mengmeng, I swear I will never have contact with him again. I will be good to you. This kind of thing will never happen again. Just forgive me. I promise. Please, don’t divorce me. We can’t divorce. We really can’t.”

Su Shangjun’s incoherent appearance made Shen Meng mistakenly think that he cherished this relationship.

“Why can’t we get a divorce? There must be a reason.”

Shen Meng was looking forward to his answer, which would be his attempt to retain her and his explanation of this relationship.

“We already have two sons, and Xiao Luo is still so young. If the two of us divorce, it will have a great impact on him. Furthermore, because of this divorce, it will be disgraceful for everyone, and it will be difficult for the parents to explain, don’t you think?”

Only now did Shen Meng realize that she was his shield, a sea-fixing needle, used to block the mouths of outsiders and protect him from the risk of being drowned by spit stars.

For so many years, so many days and months, Shen Meng has been working hard to pave the way for the future, but he uses his work to mess around with others openly.

Shen Meng felt like her stomach was churning, and she wanted to vomit out all the food she had eaten in the afternoon. She thought she could get out of it completely, but when she saw his almost pleading eyes, she softened her heart for a moment. She had truly loved the man in front of her, and she had to spit out her decisive words and swallowed them back. The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time. Su Shangjun kept kneeling on the ground, and the clock kept ticking, and she still couldn’t let go until now.

With this moment of soft-heartedness, Shen Meng knew that this marriage was inevitable.

But the gap between the two can never be eliminated.

She loved Su Shangjun but couldn’t really make up her mind to break up. All the beauty was shattered because of Shen Luo’s arrival. Like a coward, she could only blame Shen Luo for this hatred.
