Looking at the bright moon

Since the first rain, Yannan has entered a long and humid rainy season.When Sheng Huan walked out of the Fangqiong Tower, there was a drizzle like cow hair floating outside, softly and silently diluting the winter cold, the wind blew on his face, although it felt cool, but it was no longer sharp, very gentle means.

There were many passers-by sheltering from the rain outside the restaurant. Sheng Huan was arranging his raincoat when he suddenly heard a voice saying, "There was a news in yesterday's newspaper that there was a big fire in Zhenqi last night. Half of the street was completely burned, and many people died, which is really scary." The other person listened, lowered his voice, and answered him furtively: "Burned to death? They were all released by the police station to appease them." The lies of the common people! Do you know who was burned to death?"

The person who spoke before said: "Who?" His companion raised his neck, looked around, and then whispered in the ear of the other party: "Huang Tingzhi!"

Sheng Huan was very close to them, so he also caught these three words in his ears.He had heard of this name before. If Wen Mingyu controlled the Yannan half of the country, then Huang Tingzhi was a prominent figure on the other half.Although this person was born in Yancheng, he had moved all his forces to Zhenqi more than ten years ago, and never set foot in Yancheng.There are rumors that he moved because he was defeated by Wen Mingyu, so over the years, the two sides have often confronted each other, and there have been many bloody frictions.

Shenghuan has never paid much attention to these rumors. He pulled up his hat and was about to walk into the rain when he heard the chatterer say: "It is said that this fire was written by the Wen family. In the middle of the night, there were so many gunshots that even people a few blocks away heard it." His companion seemed a little suspicious, and asked him, "How do you know so clearly?" The man He replied: "I have a distant cousin who happens to live nearby. He called today and talked about it. He told me about it."

The content after that was mostly exclamations, Sheng Huan didn't listen any more.When he was with Wen Mingyu before, although that person had a distant attitude, he never did any cruel and cruel behaviors, which caused Sheng Huan to often forget the other party's true identity.Hearing irrelevant people talking about such things now made him feel a bit weird—regardless of the truth, it was really difficult for him to connect this bloody news with Wen Mingyu.

Calculating the time, he has been away from Longyuan for nearly half a month.Not long ago, Jiang Lan fell ill and had a high fever for several days. Her brother was afraid it might be pneumonia, so he took her to the hospital. Fortunately, it was diagnosed as a common cold.However, Jiang Li didn't have much savings in the first place, and after so much trouble, he could hardly even pay for the medicine.In order to help the two of them, Sheng Huan had to find a job in Fangqiong Building in a hurry, and he did some chores. Fortunately, he was used to doing these things before, so he didn't find it hard.

He went to buy some snacks first, and prepared to bring them to Jiang Lan. While waiting for the store to wrap them in oiled paper, Sheng Huan glanced across the street, but unexpectedly met someone's gaze.

The moment their eyes collided, the man quickly shrank his head back, acting like a guilty conscience.Shenghuan was very sensitive to such things, so after taking the snack, he looked there again, but this time he didn't find anyone.

Sheng Huan silently made a list in his mind, trying to find out who might send someone to follow him.He first suspected Wen Mingyu and Wen Yongtang, or maybe someone other than them, but what was the motive of these people spying on him?

This time he slowed down a bit, keeping an eye on the movement behind him.The other party thought that he had let down his vigilance, but he showed up again. There were only two people, one fat and one thin, both wearing gray robes, their faces could not be seen clearly.Sheng Huan didn't want to bring trouble to Jiang Li's residence, so he deliberately went in the wrong direction and turned into an alley.He didn't intend to get rid of the two of them, he just climbed up a low wall, lay down on the rubble, and waited quietly.

It didn't take long for the two men to chase after them, but they found that it was a dead end, and they couldn't help but look around suspiciously.Taking advantage of their distraction, Sheng Huan immediately jumped down from the wall, strangled one of them by the neck from behind, and kicked the other's knee hard.The man screamed in pain and fell to the ground when he kicked him.The other fat man was startled, and rushed forward to help. Sheng Huan still clutched his companion's neck, but backed away, and punched him right in the door, causing him to stagger a few steps, with nosebleeds bleeding half of his face .

"Stop beating, stop beating!" The man whose neck was strangled by him shouted in fright: "This is all a misunderstanding!"

He held up his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and begged: "We were entrusted by others, and we came here specially to find you. We didn't have the opportunity to talk to you before, so we have been following you all this time. There is no malice!"

Sheng Huan didn't quite believe his words, and shouted, "Who told you to follow me?"

The fat man finally wiped off the blood on his face, covered his nose and stared at Sheng Huan, cursing: "Damn it, this kid almost knocked my nose crooked!"

The man who was strangled said: "You still care about what the nose does, if you don't show him the things, I will be strangled to death!"

Hearing this, the man stretched his hand into his bosom to feel for it with a grim expression.Sheng Huan's nerves were tense, and when he saw the other party's movement, he immediately pulled the person in his hand to stand between them.Fortunately, what the fat man took out was not a gun, but a photo.In the photo is a girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, smiling at the camera with her cheeks on her hands.

That young girl has a delicate appearance, beautiful eyes, her eyebrows and eyes are [-]% similar to Sheng Huan, she turned out to be the young Sheng Yunyi.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Huan took a step back in surprise, and saw that fat man took out another ring, put it in his palm and showed it to him, and asked, "Does this look familiar to you?"

The ring looked old and clumsy, with nothing inlaid on it, only a delicate lotus flower carved on the surface, which indeed made Sheng Huan feel familiar - there was a similar one in Sheng Yunyi's place, except that the lotus was replaced with vines, it seemed that she had never seen it before. An old item brought out by the Sheng family.That ring was sold when she was short of money, and she didn't know where it went.

The fat man said: "The person looking for you asked me to convey it on his behalf. His surname is also Sheng. He really wants to meet you. I hope you will show respect."

In the end, Sheng Huan still did not agree to the request of the two people. He was not very interested in the relative who suddenly appeared. It was an extremely embarrassing and boring situation for two people who had never met to suddenly talk about their family relationship.Even Sheng Yunni, who used to face him day and night, didn't have much affection to talk about between them, let alone a stranger.

He leaned against the window, took out the photo from his pocket, and looked at it carefully for a long time.In Sheng Huan's memory, his mother would often smile, but most of the time she was just trying to please the guests, or ridicule him, without any element of pleasure.Compared with the sweet and bright Sheng Yunyi in this photo, she looks like another person ten years later.

Someone knocked on the door frame a few times and called out, "Xiao Sheng, why are you here alone?"

Sheng Huan looked back and found that it was a colleague, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

When he first came here to work, the people who worked with him liked to get close to him, because Sheng Huan was young and had a very beautiful face, so he was very likable.But soon they discovered that Sheng Huan was not a lively person, he was always cold and seldom talked, so they stopped asking for boredom.That colleague obviously also had this kind of thought in mind, he smiled at Sheng Huan, and said, "There is a guest who wants to see you by name, and he is waiting in box five." Then he went to work.

The other party didn't give Sheng Huan a chance to ask questions, but he could probably guess who was coming. After all, in the near future, there was only one person who would rush to find him.

He put away the photos and went to the fifth box.Seeing that the door was closed tightly, Sheng Huan thought for a moment, then knocked lightly.

Someone inside responded immediately: "Please come in."

The voice was clear and soft, like a young man.With a push of strength, Sheng Huan pushed the door open, and the people in the box put their hands in their pockets, and were standing in front of the window staring, leaving only a tall and slender figure of Sheng Huan.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his face slightly, his face facing the light was beautiful and handsome, his eyes looked like the rainy early spring, and he looked at Shenghuan gently and silently.

The moment he saw the other person, Sheng Huan knew that he didn't need to question this person's identity. His appearance was [-]% similar to Sheng Yunyi's, but his outline was tougher, which weakened Sheng Yunyi's unique sharp beauty .Seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Sheng Huan couldn't help but feel a little turmoil in his heart.

"The weather in Yancheng is still so cold." The man chuckled and walked up to Sheng Huan: "I'm sorry to come to you so abruptly, but I really can't wait to see you."

Sheng Huan's expression didn't change much. According to etiquette, he should probably greet the other party a few words, but he really couldn't think of anything to say.

The other party didn't seem to care about his indifference, and only showed a little ashamed expression: "I am indeed an incompetent brother. If I could come back a few years earlier, Yun Ye might not have fallen to that level." Leading to the seat, he said to him: "Sit down, I have already greeted the steward here, no one will disturb us."

His attitude was so gentle that Shenghuan couldn't find a reason to refuse.I just feel that apart from his appearance, this person seems to have a completely different personality from Sheng Yunyi.The man made a brief self-introduction to Sheng Huan. He is the youngest brother of Sheng Yunye, the sixth in his family, and his name is Sheng Jingyuan.Speaking of this, he sighed: "Back when I went abroad with your mother, when something happened at home, she went back before me, but I was kept by my fiancee. When I want to leave again, the family members are already dead. Yun Ye also disappeared, I never thought that she would return to Yancheng again."

Sheng Huan didn't have the slightest memory of what happened at that time, and just listened silently without saying a word.

Sheng Jingyuan looked at Sheng Huan's face carefully, and said in a deep voice, "Yun Ye is too attached to your father. From the day she met Wen Mingyu, she seemed to be a different person. You have been wronged all these years."

Judging from his tone, it seemed that he knew about Wen Mingyu's past. Sheng Huan looked at him suddenly, wanting to ask a question, but finally swallowed the question and replied, "Nothing."

Sheng Jingyuan saw his reaction in his eyes, knowing that Sheng Huan was indifferent on the surface, but actually cared about his parents' grievances very much.He didn't continue this topic, and asked with a smile: "As far as I know, your father took you back a few months ago. Why did you leave again? Wen Mingyu is arrogant, how can he bear the pain of his own son?" work here?"

"He won't care about me." After saying this sentence, Sheng Huan realized that it sounded like a complaint, and changed his words: "I'm going to leave by myself."

But Sheng Jingyuan seemed to know everything, frowned and said: "He doesn't accept you, does he?"

His words carried a hint of blame, Sheng Huan didn't want others to criticize Wen Mingyu in front of him, just about to explain a few words, suddenly he heard Sheng Jingyuan say: "Wen Mingyu doesn't like you, it's justifiable, after all, back then... Yun Ye nearly killed him."

He uttered a very shocking sentence in a calm tone. After Sheng Huan listened to it, he felt that he lost the warmth from head to toe.He stood up all of a sudden, and said in disbelief: "What do you mean?"

After Sheng Jingyuan said that sentence, he seemed to regret it, but seeing Sheng Huan's pale face, he was shaken again, and explained to him slowly: "That matter is very complicated. It can't be explained clearly in a few words. You are still young Small, not suitable for carrying these."

The other party looked sincere, just like a gentle and steady elder.Sheng Huan didn't know if Sheng Jingyuan was lying, but he had doubts about his parents' past.Although Sheng Yunye repeatedly claimed that Wen Mingyu was the one who had a bad heart, but when Sheng Huan really got in touch with Wen Mingyu, he realized that Sheng Yunye probably hadn't told the truth.

Wen Mingyu is not ruthless, he is ruthless at all, it seems that he has never had half a love for Sheng Yunni from the beginning to the end.Sheng Yun kept saying that Wen Mingyu had abandoned her, but Sheng Huan felt that they might never have been together.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Sheng Huan wants to hear what Sheng Jingyuan said at this time. He rarely insists on one thing like this, staring at the other party and saying, "I want to know." He was afraid that this sentence would sound too loud Too cold, he quickly lowered his tone: "Please tell me."

Sheng Jingyuan and him looked at each other for a long time, and finally laughed, and sighed happily: "Your appearance is exactly the same as Yun Ye." He poured himself a cup of tea, took a few sips slowly, and said: " Ever since I was a child, I have always responded to Yun Ye's request, now you are also asking me, how can I refuse you?"

He also stood up, walked to the window again, looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and said to himself: "Yun Ye and Wen Mingyu met in school, and your father was already a famous man at that time. There are a lot of people, but he doesn't seem to care about anyone, and you are very similar to him in this regard." He held up the teacup and lightly touched his lips: "The first time Yun Ye saw your father, she went crazy. , throwing away all dignity and pride to pursue him, but..."

Sheng Jingyuan's expression gradually became serious: "Wen Mingyu doesn't like her, no matter how Yun Ye shows his favor, he will not be moved. I once persuaded Yun Ye, but at that time she didn't listen to my advice at all."

This was Shenghuan's expected development, but hearing this, it was just a wishful thinking story, Shenghuan looked at the other party in puzzlement, and urged: "Then what?"

"Yun Yihua hired a group of people with a lot of money and kidnapped Wen Mingyu." At this point, Sheng Jingyuan seemed quite unbearable, and closed his eyes: "Wen Mingyu was abroad, and the Wen family did not protect him very well at that time. Ye told me that after Wen Mingyu was arrested, she resisted fiercely, she wanted to keep Wen Mingyu, and in desperation, she simply ordered those people to break his hamstring."

It turned out that this was the origin of the two scars on Wen Mingyu's ankles. Sheng Huan's heart sank heavily, and there was a buzzing in his ears. Although he expected that it would be a bad past, he didn't expect it to be so bad.He stood in the same place in a daze, and heard Sheng Jingyuan's voice coming from afar: "Yun Ye gave Wen Mingyu a dose of medicine, and now... I have you. After that, she was also very scared, and hurried to find me, but just as she left Not long after, Wen Mingyu managed to kill his guards and escaped alone, he was seriously injured and lay in the hospital for a long time, and was picked up by the Wen family when he just woke up."

Sheng Huan remembered the day he was drugged by He Baoyue. When he was in a daze, he heard Wen Mingyu say "the mistakes I made". Every word of the words was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

It was indeed a huge mistake. Wen Mingyu was affected by the medicine and did not restrain himself, which led to his birth.Sheng Yunye even committed an unforgivable mistake. She used such despicable means to achieve her wish, but instead framed Wen Mingyu for abandoning her.Sheng Huan used to wonder why Wen Mingyu was so indifferent to him, but now that the truth came out, he realized that the other party was too tolerant of him.

He is not entitled to Wen Mingyu's affection at all. No one can have a good impression of a physical evidence that shows that he has been insulted.

A cold drop of water suddenly dripped from the side of his face and fell into Sheng Huan's neckline.He was in a daze, seeing a few more falling down, then raised his hand and wiped his face, wiping away the tears on his face messily.

He no longer doubted Sheng Jingyuan's words. After hearing the whole story, Sheng Huan already had a strong intuition. He knew that what the other party said was the truth.

Before today, Sheng Huan still had a slight expectation of being able to reunite with Wen Mingyu, but this expectation may be an unbearable torture for Wen Mingyu.

Sheng Huan clearly realized that he should never appear in front of Wen Mingyu again.
