Shengjing Noble

Chapter 129 No messing around

Su Shengming's mind began to constantly reappear the days when he spent time with his family.

He once felt bored and repelled such a life, but now he knows that the most important thing in life is not to seek pleasure and pursue those short-lived and empty things.

If he had understood his mother at the time, cared more about his brother and sister, and listened to the advice of his relatives, perhaps he would not have taken this desperate path.

It's too late to say anything. He has become a useless person, or in other words, he is no longer a human being.

The pain washed over him like wave after wave of floods, until his whole body gradually became numb and his consciousness slowly disappeared.

……

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when he woke up again, Su Shengming felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes, he saw a blurry light.

He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then he could see everything around him clearly.

"Where am I..."

He blurted out, then quickly realized something and immediately touched his tongue in his mouth.

Still there?

His hands weren't chopped off either!

I still have eyes, I’m not blind!

what happened?

Su Shengming looked around and found that he was in Suiyuexuan's mother's room.

"Why am I here... Is this just a dream..."

He couldn't believe it and looked up at his sleeves to see the red marks on his wrists from the chains, and the abrasions were still red.

So, it was all true?

But wasn't he made into a human pig? How could he appear in Suiyuexuan safely?

Could it be that his mother saved him?

Thinking of this, Su Shengming felt even more ashamed to face Lu Wanjun.

For so many years, the mother and son have been at loggerheads with each other and neither of them is willing to give in. Even though he knows that he is extremely wrong and has failed to live up to his mother's expectations, he is unwilling to face Lu Wanjun at this time.

He was afraid of seeing his mother's disappointed eyes, and even more afraid of hearing her blame and abuse.

He knew that he was not as capable as his eldest brother, not as talented as his second brother, and not as obedient and well-behaved as his sixth sister.

But even so, he didn't want to hear his mother say that he was good for nothing.

What he cares about most is Lu Wanjun, but precisely because he cares about her, he doesn't want to lose.

Thinking of this, he wanted to escape again. Even if it would make his mother worry, he had to leave here.

Su Shengming struggled to get up. His ankle was injured by the chain and it was extremely painful for him to walk.

But he still gritted his teeth and limped to the door, leaning close to the door panel to listen to the noise outside.

After making sure that no one was there, he carefully opened the door bolt.

As a result, when he opened it, he saw an enlarged face. He was so scared that he screamed and fell on his butt on the ground behind the door, grimacing in pain.

Su Lanyin pushed open the door, folded her arms across her chest, looked down at him, with a smile in her eyes.

"Where are you going, Fourth Brother? You're sneaking around like that. Are you going to be a thief?"

In the past, Su Shengming would have definitely argued with her angrily, but after going through hell, he thought he would never see his sister again.

As a result, one of them couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Su Lanyin knew that he was feeling upset, so she stopped teasing him and walked straight up to him and pulled him up from the ground.

"It didn't hurt from the fall, did it?"

She casually said a word of concern, but was hugged by Su Shengming.

He tried very hard, as if he was afraid of losing, but also as if he wanted to find it again.

"Yinyin...it's my fault..."

"Fourth brother..." Su Lanyin called softly, patted his back, sighed and continued, "You still know that you are not good!"

The first half of the sentence sounds gentle, but the second half explodes on the spot.

She pushed Su Shengming away and grabbed his ears, shouting angrily: "You stinky boy, you actually dared to go gambling, do you know how much money you lost? That was all my dowry, damn it, I really lost everything to save you! You have to pay me back double in the future, or I will no longer recognize you as my brother!"

"Hiss... You can scold me but don't do it, it hurts..."

Su Shengming dodged and apologized repeatedly.

After all, he was in the wrong first, and he felt extremely regretful for surviving the disaster, and he also felt extremely guilty towards Su Lanyin.

So, he let her vent, even though his ears really hurt.

The brother and sister were arguing until Lu Wanjun walked in.

"Yinyin, stop messing around!"

Su Lanyin was not convinced: "Mom, I am teaching my fourth brother a lesson for you!"

"Go out, I have something to talk to him about."

"Ok."

Su Lanyin nodded reluctantly, finally let go of Su Shengming's ear, then turned and left the room and closed the door.

Only Lu Wanjun and Su Shengming were left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.

Over the years, the mother and son have never had a heart-to-heart talk. Every time they meet, they either quarrel or ignore each other.

Lu Wanjun thought about it all night and reflected a lot.

She shouldn't have ignored Su Shengming. She always thought he was a naughty and cheerful and strong child.

But we forget that a child is first and foremost a child. Even if he has a strong heart, he cannot lack the love of his mother.

Thinking of this, Lu Wanjun's eyes became wet and she gritted her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.

Su Shengming didn't dare to look at her, thinking that his mother must be very angry this time and he would definitely be beaten up again.

This time, he decided not to talk back or beg for mercy, and let his mother beat him up to vent his anger and alleviate some of his inner guilt.

Lu Wanjun raised her hand, and he subconsciously closed his eyes and shrank his neck, but he did not dodge like usual. He gritted his teeth and looked patient.

However, the crisp and loud slapping sound that he had imagined did not happen, nor did he feel any pain. Instead, there was only a warm and soft palm gently caressing his cheek.

Su Shengming slowly opened his eyes and looked in disbelief at his mother who was always fierce and unfriendly to him. He was a little at a loss for a moment.

Lu Wanjun looked at her youngest son, whom she had never really treated with care, and she felt a mixture of emotions and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mom, don't cry. I did something wrong and I won't dare to do it again..." Su Shengming raised his hand in panic to wipe her tears, but the tears seemed to have broken off the string and could not be wiped away.

"Ming, it was all my fault in the past. I shouldn't have thought you were strong just because you were naughty. I ignored you again and again and was always impatient with you."

"It's natural for a child to make mistakes, but mother didn't tolerate you. She always beat and scolded you, and even compared you to your two brothers. It's all mother's fault... It's mother who let you down, and that's why you were instigated and deceived by the wicked and went down the wrong path."

Su Shengming thought about giving his mother a good beating, but he didn't expect to hear these words.

Something that he never dared to dream of before actually came true?

His mother apologized to him and said it was not his fault.

But... he was obviously wrong too.

"Mother... I was unfilial and had bad habits. I almost got you into trouble. I even mistook a bad woman like Liu Ruyan as my most trusted elder. It was all because of my stupidity!"
