Chapter 322: Don't mope around

Shuchun sobbed as she choked. “Shin, we weren’t ready for this!”
“I know!” Shin glared at her, his gaze a little misty and blurry. “But couldn’t you have just fucking talked to me once! It is a life we are talking about here! You just went ahead and…”
Shuchun bit her lips.
“Shin…I am sorry…I freaked out. I-“
“Shut up!”
Shuchun took a step back, startled.
Shin pointed his trembling finger at her. “Don’t ever show your face to me again. I will kill you if I ever see your sight.”
“Shin!”
“Hey, Shin! Where are you lost?”
Liang Zou’s booming chirpy voice snapped Shin out of his daze.
“H-Huh?”
Nana held his hand, and her voice was laced with concern. “Brother Shin, you seemed to be thinking about something. And your eyes…are you crying?”
Shin flinched. He quickly rubbed his eyes and laughed. “Oh, this? It’s nothing. I…just got a bit emotional feeling the baby’s kick. I am fine.”
Liang Xiao Dan and Liang Zou shared a glance. They both found a bit odd.
Nana also felt thr same.
Liang Xiao Dan asked worriedly, “Shin, are you telling the truth? Don’t lie to me, or I will beat you up!”
Shin laughed again. “No, mom, really, I am not lying. And why would I? I am really scared of your beating. You just don’t stop once you start chasing around.”
She seemed dissatisfied. Liang Zou stared at him for a second, and Shin felt nervous under his scrutiny. It felt like he saw right through him.
He softly smiled. “If you say so, son.”
Nana also felt it wasn’t right to force him when he clearly wanted to avoid the topic. There was something he didn’t want to share.
She wanted to know if something was bothering him. As a sister, she wanted to be his support.
But for now, they dropped it.
Nana looked at everyone and said, “Mom, Dad, Brother Shin and Yukito, Yukira, I am planning to work in Natsukashi again.”
They were evidently surprised.
“Work?”
“Yes. There is still almost a whole month for the delivery, and I will just feel bored if I stay at home all day…”
Her pause clearly said that she would continuously think of Jinhai if she does nothing.
“So I thought to get back to work.”
Liang Zou said, “Dear, won’t it be too difficult for you with your tummy? And you will get exhausted.”
Shin also nodded. “Dad is right. It will be tiresome.”
Nana shook her head. “Don’t worry. I will not walk around too much like usual. Meiling and my other staff will help out. I can do simple chores and cook simple dishes. It won’t put much pressure on me either.”
Liang Xiao Dan smiled. “Will you promise to take care of yourself?”
“Of course, Mom.”
She looked at her husband and son. “I think it’s a nice idea. Let her do it, Zou and Shin.”
They sighed and nodded. “Seriously, we are so helpless before you.”
Yukito said, “We will also help Nee-chan like before.”
“And we will also keep an eye on her,” Yukira giggled.
Nana pouted.
A guard came in and said, “Master. Mr. Chen Jianyu has come to meet a young mistress.”
Nana was surprised. “Jianyu? Let him in.”
—
A few minutes earlier, when Jianyu drove into the villa, he saw Jinhai standing outside, just like what Chen Liling told him.
Jinhai saw him from the corner of his eye, but he seemed unaffected by his entrance.
“Bro,” Jianyu quietly said. He stared at him, who looked so desolate. There were faint lines under his eyes that were red and puffy. There was also a blue mark on his cheek when Shin had punched him.
Jianyu silently stared at his cousin, who looked like a completely different person now.
When Chen Liling told him everything that happened, no amount of shock was enough to describe his condition.
Jianyu felt angry at him for sure. He didn’t expect that Jinhai would use him as a part of his plan. They were always like brothers to each other. He felt like a chess piece to him, just like how Nana said that she felt like a puppet.
Last night he thought about it a lot.
But even then, he understood that everything that happened wasn’t just because of Jinhai.
Nana and his engagement broke because he lied, and he made that horrible decision. He couldn’t be firm so he didn’t do justice to Nana.
Even without Jinhai’s interference, their relationship was bound to fail. The situation just became favorable for Jinhai.
But it did shock him to realize that Jinhai already knew her from before, and he could go this far to get Nana. He had no idea that Jinhai was this possessive and crazy for her.
Jinhai said, “Are you here to punch me? Are you mad at me? What am I even saying? Of course, you are. I have used you, after all. Come on, hit me. I am standing right here.”
Jianyu shook his head. “Bro, do you realize that everything could be so much simpler if you had just exposed Huian, divorced her, and then chased after your love? Just because Huian tricked, you didn’t mean that you had to do the same.”
“It isn’t necessary that every time you have to give an eye for an eye, Jinhai!” Nana’s voice resounded in his mind.
Jinhai chuckled. “I am so stupid, right? Nana was always in front of me. She was within reach of my palm. But I pushed her away because I wanted revenge. I wanted her for me but by making Huian hurt at the same time. You are right. Things could have been so much simpler if I…”
His gaze blurred again.
Jianyu really couldn’t stay mad at him, seeing at the pathetic state in which he was. Liu Jinhai, CEO of Liu Corps, was helplessly standing outside for his wife in the sun, all hungry and thirsty.
“Bro, how long are you going to stand here like this?”
“Until Nana forgives me,” his tone was clear and stubborn.
Jianyu sighed. “Bro. This is not going to work. Nana’s trust is broken right now. She is deeply hurt. She is not going to come in two or three days and say that she forgave you.”
“So as long as it takes. I am not giving up on her.”
“Bro, I’m not telling you to give up on her. Just standing here is not going to do anything. Right now, she is too hurt. She won’t even bother if you are hungry or tired.”
Jinhai pursed her lips. “She loves me, and she couldn’t bear it when Liang Shin was beating me up. She was the one who stopped him.”
Jianyu’s eyebrow twitched.
“Bro, it might be that case, but she is not going to forgive you like that. You are practically forcing her to pity you and come back.”
“Pity is also fine by me.”
Jianyu wished to bang his head on the wall.
What the hell! Pity? You have really lost it!
Suddenly, he remembered what Serena said, “I will get you back. I will do anything to regain your trust. I will not be depressed and just mope around anymore.”
“Bro…” he said in a trance, “don’t just mope around here.”
Jinhai widened his eyes, and he looked at Jianyu, stunned.
“Huh?”
Jianyu himself was shocked by what he said. He berated himself for saying that.
Stupid! Why did I remember her!?
He was annoyed by the fact that he recalled her face when he wanted to help Jinhai.
He cleared his throat. “I mean, do something tangible. Work hard to get her trust back. Make her believe in you once again. And you cannot do that by just standing here waiting for her doing nothing. On the contrary, she might resent you more.”
Jinhai seriously considered that option.
“But I cannot stay away from her.”
Jianyu put his hand on his shoulder. “Bro. I understand, but at this point, you should be really thinking about what Nana wants now.”
Jinhai froze.
“Think about it,” he patted it and left.
But he stopped in his step and asked, “You must have done something to Suyin, right?”
Jinhai said, “Yes.”
Not that Jianyu cared about Suyin, but he was just curious about what he had done to her.
“What happened to her?”
“Dead.”
Jianyu was startled. He slowly asked. “I see.”
He already knew she might be tortured like hell in there. He knew how the underworld worked.
Jinhai thought back to the time when he got a call from one of his men in the base.
“Boss. That woman is dead.”
“Hm? How?” Jinhai seemed indifferent as if it had nothing to do with him. For him, it felt like some everyday occurrence.
“Well, she couldn’t handle her third abortion back to back. So she died of blood loss and extreme weakness.”
In the course of Suyin’s time in the base, she got pregnant three times, not even knowing who was the father behind her three pregnancies.
The three pregnancies were one after the other, and so were the three abortions. It badly took a toll on her body, and she finally breathed her last in that dark chamber.
“Deal with her body,” is what he only said to his men.
At present, Jinhai muttered. “Good riddance.”
