Chapter 1233: Trust
Translator: 549690339
In fact, the more Shuyin hated Shucheng Shan, the happier Jing Rui should be, because this way, the fact that he forced Shucheng Shan to commit suicide would not be a big problem in Shuyin’s heart.
However, he didn’t want Shuyin to feel that his father didn’t like him because of his selfishness.
Jing Rui did not know about other times, but at least before Shucheng Shan’s death, he had been thinking about his daughter.
He regretted pushing his daughter into the fire pit.
Shuyin unfolded the letter and began to read Shu Chengshan’s last words with a calm expression.
The last words were very long. On a piece of A4 paper, it was densely covered with small words.
The handwriting was in the small regular script that Shu Yin was familiar with. When she was young, Shu Chengshan taught her how to write. Even after ten years, she still remembered his handwriting.
In his last words, Shu Chengshan did not mention that he had sent Shuyin to the Research Institute, nor did he apologize to his daughter. He emphasized the confrontation between him and Jing Rui, and the cause of his death.
He had clearly written in the letter that he had chosen to commit suicide of his own accord.
As a killer, it was normal for him to fail his mission and be killed by the target. But he did not need Jing Rui to do it, because he could preserve his dignity by committing suicide.
He told her what he and Jing Rui had agreed on. He would help Jing Zhi recover his memory, and Jing Rui would protect her for the rest of her life.
He had also given all his property to Jing Rui and asked him to pass it to him.
If it had been someone else, he would have been worried, but Jing Rui had a good reputation. He trusted Jing Rui’s character, and that was why he had given him such a huge amount of assets.
If possible, he hoped that Shuyin could work harder, charm Jing Rui, marry him, be the young lady of family Jing, and live the best life.
Shuyin’s expression remained calm after she finished reading the last words.
He was not touched by Shu Chengshan, nor was he angry about his death.
She even felt like she was reading the last words of an unimportant person, and there were no waves in her heart.
Family ties had long died in Shuyin’s hands!
If Shu Chengshan was still alive, Shu Yin would never acknowledge him.
She handed the letter to Jing Rui and said,””Keep it. It might be useful in the future. If Jiang Manshu comes to bother you again, give her this letter and she should be able to shut up!”
Shuyin was expressionless, and Jing Rui could not guess what she was thinking. He could only keep the letter and take her downstairs for dinner.
Shu Yin, who usually had a good appetite, only ate a little this time. She only had one chicken wing, which was her favorite.
“I’m not eating. I’m going back to my room to lie down for a while. ”
Shuyin said, then got up and went upstairs.
Jing Rui did not force her. He watched her go upstairs calmly, but his heart ached.
Her parents were both wearing masks, and even he had never told her the truth. Shuyin’s current strength and calmness were all an act.
Jing Rui put down his chopsticks, took a shower and went into the bedroom.
The room was dark and the lights were not turned on. Jing Rui turned on the floor light, walked to the bed and lay down, then held Shuyin in his arms.
“Yinyin, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was afraid that you would leave me if I told you.”
Shuyin lay quietly in his arms. She didn’t speak or move. She was like a puppet without a soul. She was numb and stiff.
“Don’t misunderstand me. When I first came to you for a deal, I didn’t know Shucheng Shan. After the Research Institute collapsed, I protected you out of my promise to him, but now I’m with you, not because of him. ”
“In my heart, you two have no connection. My feelings for you will not change because of Shucheng Shan’s death. I was going crazy when I couldn’t find you two days ago. I was afraid that something might have happened to you. I was afraid that you would find out the truth, hate me, and leave. ”
“I’ve already settled the Lou family’s matter. I heard the recording on your phone. Don’t believe the nonsense that others are saying. Just believe me. We will make our own decisions. The Lou family has no right to interfere.”
Jing Rui talked a lot. He was a man of few words and rarely talked as much as he did now.
Because he didn’t know which sentence Shuyin would want to hear, nor which sentence would make her feel at ease, he decided to tell her everything that Shuyin might have misunderstood.
After a long while, Shuyin asked him softly,”can I still trust you?”
She was a little scared. Sometimes, the more you trusted someone, the more serious the injury would be.
She had never trusted anyone before, but after working for Jing Rui for two years and getting familiar with his style and personality, she started to trust him.
However, she had no idea that Shucheng Shan had died in his hands.
She didn’t dare to imagine if there were many other things that she had been deceived about.
She trusted Jing Rui so much that he could do whatever he wanted.
Shuyin had fallen in love with Jing Rui because of her admiration for his charisma. She had submitted to a man like him from the bottom of her heart. She believed in his decisions and obeyed all his arrangements.
Whenever she had her own thoughts, she would always be proven wrong if she disagreed with Jing Rui.
In the two years that they had worked together, Shuyin had seen the true charm of a man. She had let her know that she was really just a frog at the bottom of the well.
So, she wanted to follow Jing Rui after they left the Research Institute.
It was not until she realized that Jing Rui was planning to make arrangements for her life and even control everything about her that she had the intention to resist.
Later, when Jing Rui pursued her, she actually agreed without making things difficult for Jing Rui.
It wasn’t that she wanted to agree so quickly, but she trusted him, admired him, and loved him from the bottom of her heart. No one in the world could compare to him.
He said that he would make her happy in the future, and she firmly believed it without any doubt.
If her trust in Jing Rui completely collapsed, she would collapse as well.
Shuyin couldn’t bear such an outcome.
To Shuyin, it didn’t matter how Shucheng Shan died or whether Jiang Manshu was alive or dead. Ten years of hatred couldn’t be dissipated overnight.
What she cared about the most was what she had now, her Jing Rui.
Her feelings for her parents had long been worn out, but her feelings for Jing Rui had accumulated over the years.
She used to feel happy and warm when Jing Rui held her. Why did she only feel cold when she was in his arms?
“Yinyin, believe me. Of course, you have to believe me. You have to believe me!”
Jing Rui lifted Shu Yin’s chin and made her look at him.
“This is the only thing I’ve hidden from you. I’ve never deliberately hidden anything else from you. You should know that it’s easy for me to lie to you about the Shucheng mountain incident!”
“I can even push the blame on Lucas. After all, you were already sure that he killed the man. I have a way to make Lucas admit that he did it.”
“But I didn ‘t. After you started to suspect me, I chose to be honest with you! I’ve concealed this matter, but I’m not lying. ”
