The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 51

Su Shangjun stood in front of her blankly. The photos on the table were of sharp swords piercing his eyes. His eyes were bleeding. Shen Meng looked at the photos and Shen Luo’s expression was the same as his. The scars that had been scabbed were torn open again. Even after so many years, she still couldn’t forget it.

“It’s all because of you. If it weren’t for you, how could he be like this? You are all equally disgusting.”

Shen Meng’s expression seemed to be that he had seen something extremely dirty, and even touching it felt tainted. Su Shangjun accepted her scolding and said softly: “If scolding me and beating me can make you feel better, then come on.”

The next second, Shen Mengzhen slapped Su Shangjun’s face with burning pain, and the tingling feeling went straight to his heart.

After sending it, Shen Meng took the photo and left. The words Su Shangjun wanted to say to save her were still not heard by her.

Shen Meng drove all the way to Water Town. The crowded market was so congested that she couldn’t drive five meters for half an hour.

Many people on the street recognized her, and they talked to her one after another, only to receive cold answers. When Shen Meng saw him, he and You Min were making dumplings, and the smile on his face was something she had never seen before. Maybe she had seen her before, but she had long forgotten it now.

Seeing the familiar car slowly stop, Shen Luo’s expression darkened instantly, and the dumpling wrapper in his hand seemed to have a soul and was out of control.

“Shen Luo, come here, I have something to say.”

After a few short words, the three of them were stunned. Shen Yixiang was the first to ask: “What are you asking him to do? He is busy.”

You Min patted his hand and told him to go calm down and call out if anything happened.

Shen Luo put down the dumpling wrapper, his hands were covered with flour. He kept rubbing it, and his skin was already hot and red. Shen Luo got in the car. There was still some residual warmth in the car. Shen Meng got straight to the point and took out a photo and handed it to him.

“Is the person in the photo the same person as last time?”

This last time refers to the only time she went to Shen Luo’s residence. They met in the room. Shen Meng thought they were normal friends and never expected that such a relationship would develop.

Shen Luo looked at the photo in his hand expressionlessly. The time was very close, the day before they left. The two were sitting on the sofa chatting. They both laughed without knowing what they said. Shen Luo’s heart was touched. He didn’t know it at the time, but now it turns out that he was smiling so happily, just like when he was a child.

Watching the serious expression on his face gradually melt away.

“Where did this photo come from?”

Although he asked this question, Shen Luo already knew something in his heart. Shen Meng clenched the steering wheel with both hands and said in a loud voice, “Is it important how you got here? I asked you if it’s him?”

Shen Luo looked forward calmly, as if the person in the photo was not him, and said, “So you are spying on me. You didn’t come to see me at all that day, right? You also put up the monitor at that time, right?”

Question after sentence, the remaining warmth in the car gradually drained away, and the tense atmosphere had already placed the answer in front of him.

“I’m your mother. I care about you and wish you well. What’s wrong with me? Do I think I’ll see you become a pervert like your father?”

Shen Meng had already experienced this kind of thing once and didn’t want to experience it a second time.

“Care? Don’t you think it’s too late?” Shen Luo faced her desire to care about her heart like she was looking at an insignificant object.

He doesn’t like it or want it.

Shen Meng didn’t feel at all that she had done anything wrong. From her understanding, Shen Luo was always just a child, unable to resist certain things and unable to make correct judgments, so he would be led astray by someone with ulterior motives.

“Before, it was just because I was busy with work and had no other choice, but I just wanted to give you a better life.” Shen Meng argued.

Shen Luo sneered and corrected her calmly: “It’s not for me, it’s for him.”

It’s for Su Ji, for this child who grew up beside his parents and is a good child in the eyes of outsiders.

After saying that, the atmosphere in the car dropped to an extremely low level. Shen Meng seemed to be touched by something, and his tone suddenly rose.

“What does this have to do with Xiaoji? What I’m talking to you about now is about the photos. Don’t change the subject.”

Shen Luo clutched the photo tightly, looked up at her and said, “Didn’t you ask me if it was him? I tell you, it is him. We have been living in the same room and sleeping on the same bed for a long, long time.”

After Shen Meng received a positive answer, his chest rose and fell more intensely, “Why are you so shameless? Separate from him immediately and no more contact is allowed.”

Shen Luo only thought what she said was ridiculous, why could a person who suddenly broke into his life be able to point fingers at him, or even want to interfere with his choices.

“No way.”

Shen Luo put the photo into his pocket.

“I shouldn’t have left you here in the first place and allowed you to grow into such a shameless person. Now that your wings are strong, you can fight against me.”

Shen Meng was so angry that she no longer knew how to describe her current mood. Shen Luo’s face gradually disassembled and reorganized in front of him, turning into another person – Su Shangjun.

His expression was solemn, his eyes were full of sadness, and the tip of his nose was red. I don’t know if it was from crying or the cold wind. The car window opened at some point, and the cold wind blew in. The tears left on his face were so cold that it hurt.

“This is shameless. If I say that I have done everything that he and I can and cannot do, what is that called?” No matter how much these words hurt him, Shen Luo continued speaking in a straight tone, “But you are right. You should not have left me here in the first place. You should have strangled me when I was born. A shameless person like me should not live.”

Every word he spoke was like a knife stabbing his heart continuously, and every word was a pain carved into his flesh and blood. Shen Meng’s blood surged up for a moment, and his mind went blank. He slapped her hard. She didn’t expect that he, who usually seemed so well-behaved, would be so “loose” behind her back.

This was the only word left in her mind.

Shen Luo, who received a slap, hit his head heavily on the glass. The whole glass trembled and made a trembling sound of disbelief. People passing by looked inside the car. Shen Luo gasped in pain and was dizzy for a long time. Fortunately, he recovered quickly.

Shen Meng pointed at him and said with some uncontrollable emotions: “Yes, after I knew what kind of person he, Lord Su, was, I should have thought that you would also be a virtuous person in the future. Why didn’t I strangle you to death? You are all equally disgusting. Get out, get out.”

After venting her emotions, she lay on the steering wheel and cried loudly. Shen Luo subconsciously stretched out his hand to pat her, but stopped halfway. He immediately retracted his hand before she could react, closed the window, and left the car while she cried.
