Chapter 935: Chapter 666: Fu Sheng and Ming Xu (Part 1)_5
Fu Sheng put down her chopsticks, "What does it matter?"
Ye Han felt a prickle in her heart and hurriedly looked towards Shan Mingxu, only to see Shan Mingxu watching Fu Sheng, the expression on his face hardly pleasant.
"He doesn’t like me, it’s his lack of vision. I liking him is also my poor judgment."
"..."
Perhaps having spoken the words, Fu Sheng felt a sense of relief. She suddenly stood up and looked at Shan Munan and Yin Shihua,
"Uncle, Aunt, I’m really sorry for troubling you these past six months. Your kindness, Fu Sheng will remember it all her life, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Yin Shihua pressed her lips tightly, feeling very upset...
"They say even a drop of kindness should be returned with overflowing gratitude. Fu Sheng is an orphan, doesn’t have much ability and can’t repay you immediately, and I certainly won’t repay kindness with betrayal and take away your beloved son."
"..."
Yin Shihua looked at Fu Sheng.
"I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. The shrimp dumplings are really delicious, but I really have no appetite. Thank you, Captain Shan, and thank you, Uncle, Aunt, Ming Lang, Sister Mengmeng..."
"Fu Sheng..."
Yin Meng took a shallow breath, "Are you just speaking out of anger when you say you’ll leave? Where do you, as a girl, plan to go?"
"Oh, Ming Lang didn’t tell you, did he? The military is recruiting female soldiers at the beginning of September, and I signed up."
"..."
Shan Mingxu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly looking at Fu Sheng,
"You signed up for the military? Ha... Do you think you can get selected?"
"Joining the military requires a physical examination. Can you pass all the physical tests? There’s also the educational requirements and family background checks, and—"
"Shan Mingxu, from now on, I am no longer your concern."
"..."
After saying this, Liang Fusong bowed towards the Shan Family’s Uncle and Aunt in front of her, and said nothing more before leaving her seat.
From now on, I am no longer your concern...
That simple sentence was like a bucket of cold water pouring down his head, leaving him thoroughly chilled.
Shan Mingxu didn’t realize there would be such words in this world, so simple yet powerful enough to make one lose strength in an instant.
Fu Sheng’s silhouette, as she went upstairs, was graceful, yet so fragile that it made one feel heartache.
Shan Ming Lang put down his chopsticks and followed after Fu Sheng left the table...
Zeng Xiaocheng sat at the table, feeling a bit itchy. What... is the situation here?
Why did Shan Ming Lang have to follow?
"Um... Uncle, Aunt, you enjoy your meal, I’ll go take a look..."
With that, he hurriedly followed after the disappearing figures of Fu Sheng and Shan Ming Lang at the stairway.
————
In the hall, the other people remained seated at the dining table, but the atmosphere at this moment was even more tense than before.
Yin Shihua had long put down her chopsticks, and the lunch she painstakingly prepared all morning had already lost its intended color, aroma, and taste.
The usually reticent Shan Munan spoke at this time,
"Fu Sheng has lived in our home for so long, I’ve already regarded her as part of the family, but since Fu Sheng chooses to leave, we have no reason to stop her."
Shan Munan asked the servant beside him to pour wine for everyone,
"Let’s drink this glass as a farewell toast for Fu Sheng."
"..."
Shan Munan’s words were actually a smooth acceptance, both emotionally and rationally, given the present reality, Fu Sheng leaving is much better than her staying at home.
"Join the military... ha... the military..."
Shan Mingxu couldn’t hear his father’s words at this moment, his mind still stuck in the swirl of cold words just spoken by Fu Sheng.
After mumbling such a sentence, Shan Mingxu also put down his chopsticks, got up, and rushed upstairs with long strides.
"Mingxu!"
Shan Munan was just raising his glass when Mingxu got up to go upstairs, which was practically a slap in his face.
Shan Mingxu paused his steps briefly.
Ye Han clenched her fist, looking at Shan Mingxu’s tall and upright figure, she unconsciously swallowed...
Shan Mingxu’s haste and urgency, even that low, almost dismissive mumble moments ago, Ye Han seemed to deeply understand the underlying meaning and emotion.
Actually, the thing about feelings between men and women, when complicated can indeed be a headache and heart-wrenching, but if truly simplified, it’s actually very simple.
Just like when Ye Han saw Shan Mingxu in the private room of a cafe during a matchmaking, coming in with a blank expression, following closely behind Shan Munan...
At that moment, this handsome man, seemingly marked with something unique between his brows, was etched as eternal in Ye Han’s heart.
Military man...?
No, upon seeing Shan Mingxu for the first time, Ye Han didn’t feel he was such an upright military man, rather he seemed like...
