Chapter 127 - He Was Her Last Hope
Chapter 127 – He Was Her Last Hope
Inside the hospital room, Shen Youlin was lying on the bed.
The fingers of her left hand were tapping her right shoulder as she quietly stared at the ceiling of the room.
That was how Shen Weisheng found his sister when he entered the room.
Shen Youlin didn't even turn her head to look at him. She continued to stare at the ceiling as Shen Weisheng made himself comfortable on the chair beside the hospital bed.
Shen Weisheng looked at her and frowned when he saw the lost look in Shen Youlin's eyes.
There was an awkward silence in the room as Shen Weisheng tried to find out just how should he try to start a talk with his younger sister.
Only now did he understood the meaning behind Fang Zhihan's evil smile when the man had told him that he need to talk with Shen Youlin about her drug addiction.
The man had somehow already guessed that it would be uncomfortable for Shen Weisheng to talk with Shen Youlin after so many years.
As Shen Weisheng raked his brain and tried to think of something to start the talk, he suddenly heard Shen Youlin asking him.
"Why are you still here?"
Shen Weisheng was startled for a moment but his face immediately went cold when he registered Shen Youlin's question in his mind.
"What do you mean by why I am here? Do you expect me to leave you here alone in the hospital?"
He saw Shen Youlin looking at him silently for a few moments and then Shen Youlin laughed …but Shen Weisheng couldn't see any humor in her eyes as she laughed.
"Brother, it is not like you have not done this before."
Shen Weisheng's face looked like he had been slapped hard on his face by Shen Youlin's few words.
He suddenly remembered when in his high school, Shen Youlin had been beaten by his bullies, he had dropped her at the hospital entrance but he never accompanied her inside the hospital.
'Don't show your fake love and care for me again.'
With these cold words, Shen Weisheng had left from there. He had left his younger sister at the hospital's door all alone when she had fought for him and had got beaten.
"Youlin…I …I…"
Shen Weisheng opened and closed his mouth several times but he couldn't find anything to say.
What could he say to Shen Youlin?
At that time, he had not believed in anyone in Shen family. For years, he had lived in Shen family thinking that he was really an illegitimate child.
Everyone was selfish. That's what Shen Weisheng used to think.
His mother liked perfectness so she did everything to mold her children into a perfect ones.
They should be good in studies, always prim and proper. They were not allowed to behave like other children…shouting, crying in front of others. If they did, then they are not sensible.
His grandfather was only concerned with business. As long as he had an heir for the future, it didn't matter to him what was going on.
And his father…ha… Shen Weisheng knew that Wang Weimin was a good man but whenever he tried to stop their mother or said that she was going very hard on them…he would easily get shut up by his mother's few words.
So he stopped caring altogether.
He was a stepfather, in the end.
In Shen Mansion where no one had ever cared for him, Shen Weisheng found.
It took him a long time to find out just how did his other younger sister Shen Yiling made all these selfish people care about her.
It was not something special.
His younger sister, Shen Yiling was just very good at putting act.
She could easily let his mother feel that she was not at fault whenever she failed to pass the criteria their mother had prepared for them.
In grandfather Shen's case, she just obediently did whatever he asked her to do.
All in all, if his mother and grandfather said left then Shen Yiling walked left, if they said right then Shen Yiling walked right.
However, these people, in the end, didn't even get to know when they started to walk on Shen Yiling's orders foolishly.
Shen Weisheng didn't think that Shen Yiling was not a good person. In his eyes, she was just very clever. She made even Shen family go according to herself.
She even tried to do the same thing for him when he had come to the Shen Mansion in the beginning. He remembered how she had first put him in some trouble then saved him. After that, the clever sister of his had indirectly asked him not to perform well in comparison to her in the coming exams.
Fortunately, he was not stupid enough to fall into her schemes.
However, after finding all these, she was just another addition to his list of selfish persons in Shen family.
Amidst all these selfish people, Shen Youlin's care was something new for him and he couldn't digest it. He thought that she also had some motives behind it. Calling him brother sweetly and running behind him every day was just a part of plans.
That's why his disgust towards Shen Youlin was more than he had towards Shen Yiling.
Shen Yiling at least showed her true thoughts when she wanted something. He could at least know her intentions. But Shen Youlin was different.
He could not find out her motives.
However, it was very late when he found out that Shen Youlin didn't have any motive….that she genuinely cared for him.
She was really trying to find her brother in him.
But what did he do?
He taunted her, mocked her, and made fun of her in front of everyone.
When he had realized this, Shen Weisheng had already had pushed Shen Youlin very far away from himself.
He realized that he was the last hope of Shen Youlin to live in Shen family house.
Because the very next day of their last fight, Shen Youlin moved out of Shen Mansion.
