After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Mating Like Dogs in Heat

Chen Shu’s sentence made Lu Sheng’s expression turn stern instantly.

What is he talking about? He asked her if she was afraid that he would poison the wine?

Since Chen Shu asked such a question, he must know she’s now wary of him.

And based on their previous interactions, it was unlike him to ask such a question.

So, Lu Sheng looked up, this time not hiding the hostility in her eyes, and asked, "Do you know I went to see Gu Siyu?"

"Not only that." Chen Shu gently shook his head, leaning his tall body against the back of the chair. His gaze still looked relaxed as it met hers.

"I also know that Christine braved the rain last night to look for you, and her doing so in such weather at dawn must have been to tell you something important."

"I presume it has something to do with me."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

Indeed, for a man as scheming and dark as Chen Shu, such surveillance was to be expected.

Thankfully, he hadn’t committed the deranged act of kidnapping Juanjuan during the storm.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be sitting here, calm and composed.

"Since you know everything, I won’t beat around the bush."

Lu Sheng raised her eyes, saying bluntly, "Juanjuan told me, she saw you kill your father, or perhaps you killed your mother too, then you imprisoned her."

"I don’t know why you fabricated that lie to deceive me before, nor do I know why you want to take Juanjuan back."

"But with what has happened, and how Juanjuan barely escaped from home, and after experiencing so much in Jiang City,"

"Even if you’re Juanjuan’s biological brother by blood, I can’t possibly hand her over to you, allowing you to take her away."

Chen Shu seemed to have anticipated Lu Sheng would say these things, showing no surprise at her words.

He merely raised his eyebrows slightly, asking, "What if I say, I must take Christine away?"

Lu Sheng’s face was expressionless, her eyes devoid of any emotion, "Then you can try and see if you can take her from me."

Her tone was calm, yet there was an overwhelming oppressiveness.

Perhaps to outsiders, whether in terms of height, physique, status, or wealth and power, the girl couldn’t possibly compete with the man before her.

However, Chen Shu knew too well, she was serious; her threat was real.

If he really tried to forcefully take Christine, she would definitely make him pay a price.

—This threat did not anger or frighten Chen Shu.

Instead, it made the blood in his veins surge with excitement.

This kind of thrill, he could never feel from those ordinary, mundane humans who only feared and submitted to him.

"The man’s shallow green eyes, identical to mine and Christine’s, made me feel so nauseous that I leaned against the church walls and vomited uncontrollably as soon as I stepped outside." freёwebnovel.com

"So, later, I captured that man, and before I killed him, I gouged out his eyes."

Lu Sheng did not speak.

Chen Shu’s chest heaved slightly, his tone was cold.

"My father, always lofty, never really cared for the lives of commoners. Or rather, he was a cold-hearted, intermittently manic lunatic."

"If one day he discovered that my mother had an affair and fornicated with another man, a lowlife from Suli, or he realized Christine and I were not his children, then me, my mother, and Christine—three of us would all be killed by him."

"I thought by killing that man and throwing those disgusting eyes into a pit, I could forever bury these secrets."

"However, my foolish mother, she pitiably mourned her lover in her diary, recording the details of their secret meetings over the years."

"Even more foolishly, she allowed my father to find this diary."

"That night when I went to the master bedroom, my father was already madly stabbing my mother in the chest with a knife, her body was stormed into a sieve."

"Later, seeing me, perhaps thinking that his son, whom he had always prided himself on, was just a lowly bastard, my father, always proud of his noble birth, wanted to flay and carve me, and so he charged at me with a knife."

"But what to do, even being a lowly bastard, I was still young, tall, and strong. I easily subdued him and then slit his throat with a dagger."

"When the blood sprayed on my face, it should have felt warm, yet when I wiped it, it felt incredibly cold."

Chen Shu lifted his eyes, the light green eyes seeming somewhat sad, he scoffed in self-mockery, "Shengsheng, I didn’t want this either, but I had no other choice, did I?"
