Chapter 18 

Ji Beichuan inexplicably was quite concerned about this matter.

The friend over there said: "Actually, it's a bit strange to say, it seems that it's not a simple paternity test, but is asking for some news. I didn't ask much, more or less spying. It seems that Jian Zicheng checked things that happened 14 years ago."

Ji Beichuan frowned: "14 years ago?"

"Yes."

The friend also wondered: "Check it out, there is one thing I find really strange. I heard that Jian Shiwu didn't seem to be born in this hospital ah, you say, why do you think he came here to ask?"

Ji Beichuan was silent, things seemed a little strange, it was none of his business, but he was inexplicably concerned.

Friend: "Could he have an illegitimate child or something?"

Ji Beichuan felt a little bored in his heart, he said, "Please help me keep an eye on it, and tell me immediately if you have anything."

"Alright."

...

The next day

When Jian Shiwu woke up in the morning, he saw that his mother made a lot of delicious food today, such as crystal clear dumpling, fragrant and dense porridge, and delicate fruit platters.

Jian was moved: "Mom, did the teacher praise me yesterday and do you want to reward me today?"

Zhen Meili came out of the kitchen and said, "What are you talking about, you can eat a little, and pack the rest and take it to Shen Cheng."

?!

Mom, wake up, I'm your son.

Everything was derailed from the previous life trajectory. In junior high school, because Shen Cheng hated him, Zhen Meili didn't even have a chance to meet Shen Cheng. The first time she met him was in high school, and Shen Cheng from that period looked different from the present.

The Shen Cheng now has a handsome clean appearance, but his facial features in high school were much more cold and masculine. At that time, there were many problems in the family company. Mother and father were busy working and had no time to take care of the children, which led to Zhen Meili and Shen to not have much communication.

Jian Shiwu slowly sat on the chair: "Why isn't Dad here?"

Zhen Meili came out with warm milk and said, "He left beforehand."

"Oh."

Jian took the milk and took a sip. He said, "Dad seems to be very busy recently, is there something wrong?"

Zhen Meili said, "Don't worry about adults' affairs and be a good kid."

"..."

Jian Shiwu was a little anxious in his heart, but after thinking about it, there are still two or three years before the company started having problems, so he can't rush, he can only make plans early for when the time comes.

He drank up his milk before Zhen Meili sent him off to school.

"Classmate!" As soon as he entered the school gate, a girl's voice came from behind.

Jian Shiwu turned around, curious: "Is something wrong?"

The girl in front of him had a shy look on her face. She had a ponytail and stood cautiously: "Are you Jian Shiwu?"

Jian Shiwu nodded his head.

No, no, no way there is actually a girl looking for him, this posture is to confess, there is no way someone is blind enough to like him, then is to collect debts, but he doesn’t remember owing anyone money!

The girl bit her lip: "I've heard everything about you."

Jian Shiwu asked nervously, "What... what is it?"

"It's about you and Shen Cheng!" The girl raised her head: "They all said that they saw you and Shen Cheng eating together in the back street of the school yesterday. Is that true?"

"..."

Campus paparazzi is everywhere.

If it were the previous Jian Shiwu, he would be dying to not be associated with Shen Cheng, but now he is a bit mature: "It's true."

Just as the girl's face was about to change, she heard Jian Shiwu say, "But don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with him. I was hungry and asked him to lend me money to eat."

The little didn't believe it: "Shen Cheng will lend you money?"

"..."

You are too much now.

Jian Shiwu also had a temper: "Because of my personal charm!"

The girl looked at him and suddenly showed a bright smile: "That's great!"

As she spoke, she took out a letter from her bag, and handed it to Jian Shiwu with a glass lunch box: "Can you give it to Shen Cheng for me, please?"

"..."

He knew it.

Not far from the school gate.

It was school time at the moment, students were entering the school gate, Shen Cheng happened to meet Wang Bin his desk-mate when he arrived at the school gate.

Wang Bin greeted: "Good morning."

Shen Cheng nodded to him.

The two walked into the school side by side, and Wang Bin mentioned to Shen Cheng along the way: "Yesterday, there was a small forum in our school that was very lively. It is said that you and Jian Shiwu have a good relationship. You had dinner together, is that true ?"

In the past, Shen Cheng would have ignored such gossip.

Wang Bin didn't expect to have an answer, but he heard Shen Cheng say "um": "Really."

Wow!

His eye's eyes widened, the spirit of gossip was burning, and he asked, "You two have a good relationship now?"

Shen Cheng strode down the trail without answering.

The two walked for a while, and from a distance saw two people standing under a shade not far away. They were easy to recognize. It was Jian Shiwu and an unknown girl. The distance between the two was not too far apart. The girl was holding a letter and a lunch box, looking very shy.

Shen Cheng's footsteps stopped.

Wang Bin couldn't believe it: "Wow..."

"Did you see that, it's Jian Shiwu." his deskmate urged: "Looks like good market, is there a girl who confessing her love to him? Shall we go up and say hello to him?"

Shen Cheng watched Jian Shiwu accept the lunch box after repeatedly refusing, his sharp eyebrows narrowed, the breath around his body became cold, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his legs and walked to the teaching building.

Wamg Bin was stunned: "Not going over?"

Shen Cheng didn't look back: "I'm not familiar with him."

"……Oh."

Ten minutes later~ Classroom

Jian Shiwu came in from the outside and finally got rid of the girl, but it’s not that he’s willing to bring something to someone else. The main reason was that the girl said that if he didn't help, she would come to him every day, so who could stand it.

Entering the classroom door, Jian Shiwu looked over to where Shen Cheng was. On the left side of the second row, Shen Cheng had already arrived at school, and he was reading a book. Inexplicably, Jian had a not-so-good feeling.

He slowly walked over and glanced at Wang, Shen Cheng's deskmate. He smiled at him and gave him a self-satisfied look, indicating that he was powerless.

?

Jian Shi Wu walked up to Shen Cheng nervously, hesitating whether to take out the lunch box.

Shen Cheng didn't look up.

Jian Shiwu: "That, I..."

The words that were on the edge of his mouth just wouldn’t come out. He couldn’t even send his own love letter, now he’s reduced to delivering someone else’s!

Never mind

Who cares!

Thinking of this, Jian Shiwu took out Zhen Meili’s new lunch box from his schoolbag and put it in front of Shen Cheng: "Has the class representative had breakfast?"

Shen Cheng's hand holding the pen paused. He lifted his eyelids and glanced at the lunch box. It was different from the previous one. Thinking of the scene under the tree, he quickly understood. Jian Shiwu is so capable, now he has the guts to help others deliver things.

Good, really good..

The ink under the pen left clear ink marks on the paper, and Shen Cheng didn't lift his head: "I've eaten."

Jian Shiwu was stunned: "Ah..."

Shen Cheng's eyes were dark and gloomy, not looking at him.

Jian Shiwu was a little embarrassed to stand there, because according to what he knew for many years, Shen Cheng didn't have the habit of eating breakfast. Of course, he didn't eat what he brought before, but recently he felt that the relationship seemed to ease a little, so was it an illusion?

That's right, a little bit of sunshine makes the sun shine, he had forgotten that Shen Cheng hates him.

Jian Shiwu said, "Okay, then I'll take it home."

Reaching out for the lunch box and taking it back, he unexpectedly met Shen Cheng's gaze, as the boy who didn't look at him raised his head: "Auntie did it."

Jian Shiwu's chubby face was a little aggrieved: "Otherwise?"

Shen Cheng's face changed like he was flipping through a book, he stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

What?

Jian Shiwu looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you eat already?"

Wang Bin, who was next to him, saw through everything, he laughed out loud, and gloated: "Maybe he didn't eat enough."

Shen Cheng glanced at him.

Wang who was swept away by the cool gaze, coughed lightly, and waited for Jian Shiwu to leave before coming over, very greedy: "Jian Shiwu's mother's cooking is super delicious, you can share with me too."

Shen Cheng opened the box: "You're not hungry."

"No way!" Wang Bin was dissatisfied: "Didn't you eat already?"

"Didn't you just say it?" Shen Cheng said to himself, "I didn’t eat enough."

"..."

Wang Bin  looked at Shen Cheng's cold profile, and sincerely felt the vengefulness of his deskmate, but what made him even more emotional was that Shen Cheng's mind was very deep.

In the evening, Mahjong Hall.

It was raining heavily, and the outside of the mah-jong hall was covered by a rain curtain, and only the sound of rain crashing between heaven and earth was left.

Someone said to Gao Can, "I'm not coming, my mother-in-law asked me to pick up the child."

Gao Can waved her hand impatiently.

The man said, "Are you still fighting? Not going to pick up your son Shen Cheng?"

Gao Can sneered: "How can a little boy be so squeamish, and he can't die, think of it as exercise."

"..."

The man was a little speechless at Gao Can.

It was raining heavily outside, and the person who went out came back soon. He said, "Hey, eldest sister, there is a lame man outside. He says he’s your husband. Would you like to go out and have a look?"

Gao Can looked back impatiently, and saw a man with an umbrella standing not far away, lame and poor, he looked angry.

Laughing out of nowhere, the others followed suit:

"Is it your husband?"

"It's inconvenient to come out when it’s raining so hard."

"Yo, Gao Can, you should go now!"

The seemingly caring words contained irony, and Gao Can was furious when she heard it. She cursed softly, pushed the door and walked out.

Shen An's clothes were thin, and the weak man seemed to be blown away in the wind. He coughed heavily and said to her, "You have been playing cards here for three days, and the landlord has just come over to press for this year's rent. Did you take the money under my pillow?"

Gao Can was impatient: "What money, I don't know."

"You, are you crazy? That's our rent money." Shen Dashan's chest heaved up and down: "Do you want our family to live on the street to be satisfied? I can sleep in the bridge hole, but Shen Cheng is still in school, what do you want him to do, Gao Can, you must return the money today."

The woman standing in the rain had red bloodshot eyes, and her back was wet from the rain. Now she didn't pretend: "I took the money to pay off the debt, and there's no more."

Shen Dashan's eyes widened: "No more?"

"Are you….are you crazy!"

He was so angry that he couldn't hold the umbrella, anger welled up in his heart, and he raised his head to slap down.

Gao Can couldn't believe it, and she was also getting angry: "Shen Dashan, you dare to hit me? You have no ability, you don't have the money to pay the rent, you hit me, I married a cripple like you, and I've been out of luck for eight lifetimes, yes, I'm crazy, I don't want to live anymore, you don't have to ask me to go home, I'll be annoyed when I go back and see you, and it's even more annoying when I see your son!"

Shen Dashan shivered in anger: "Gao Can..."

Gao Can smiled sarcastically: "Oh yes, strictly speaking, Shen Cheng is not your son, you don't have a son."

"Boom"

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the thunder fell. The whole world was engulfed by the torrential rain, and it also made the people in the rain completely cold. Shen Dashan's eyes were scarlet, and the thin man seemed to gnash his teeth. He said: "Back then, if you hadn't replaced the child, how could he..."

Gao Can's eyes were sharp: "If it weren't for me, Ji Beichuan would have died a long time ago. You were crippled in a car accident and spent all your family's savings. I was pregnant, no nutrition, no milk, and the family couldn’t afford milk powder. He was born sick. If it wasn't for me, he would have died long ago, poor, starved, and killed by you!"

In the heavy rain, she didn't hold an umbrella, her face was covered with rain, and with her red eyes, she didn't know whether it was tears or rain.

"Don't think that I don't know why you rode your bike that year and got into an accident, wasn't it just looking for a woman?" Gao Can's voice was hoarse, she looked at Shen Dashan for a moment, and said word by word: "I hate you, you ruined my life."
