Chapter 36: You Don’t Remember Anything?
The surrounding people had been attracted by the commotion just now. Looking at Shen Zhouyue standing at the top of the stairs and Wen Qiusheng on the ground, everyone had a guess about what had just happened.
Yu Tingyu saw Wen Qiusheng, whom he had invited, in this state and immediately frowned, targeting Shen Zhouyue. “Sister-in-law, even if you dislike Qiusheng, there’s no need to be so cruel to him!”
“If someone dies, it’ll be a huge mess. Our Yu family can’t have a murderer for a daughter-in-law!”
Others chimed in. No one wanted to confirm the truth; they just poured dirty water directly onto him.
The corners of Shen Zhouyue’s mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile laced with sarcasm.
“Is that so?”
He didn’t really want to be this Yu family daughter-in-law anyway!
If not for An’an, who would be willing to suffer this anger…
“It seems you have already confirmed that I did this?”
Hearing this, Yu Tingyu couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “If not you, who else could it be?”
“Sister-in-law, I know you dislike Qiusheng, but Qiusheng just wants to pursue the person he likes. He didn’t do anything else wrong. How could you do this?”
Yu Tingyu diligently poured dirty water on Shen Zhouyue. Shen Zhouyue looked very calm and said coldly, “What if I say I didn’t do these things?”
Zhou Juanjuan became energetic upon hearing this.
She had lost so much face earlier because of Yu Tingzhou, and she didn’t intend to let it go now.
“Some people are really funny. What credibility do words have?”
“There are only the two of you here. If you didn’t do it, could it be that Wen Qiusheng sought death himself and rolled down the stairs?”
Zhou Juanjuan looked smug. Yu Qingcheng beside her felt annoyed looking at her like this.
He couldn’t help speaking up, “Can you not interfere in everything? If Mom finds out, you’ll be scolded again.”
“You’re willing to be scolded, but I’m not.”
Zhou Juanjuan got angry hearing this.
“What do you mean?”
“Do I want to be scolded by Mom? It’s Mom who can’t stand me.”
At this moment, the old lady walked over leaning on her cane. Her sagging skin due to age, combined with her cold expression, gave Zhou Juanjuan a big fright.
She swallowed nervously and silently shifted her feet, wanting to hide behind her son.
But Yu Tingyu was also afraid of the old lady; how could he dare block in front of his mother!
So he quickly walked to Yu Qingcheng’s side, pretending to know nothing.
“I didn’t expect you to have so many complaints about me in your heart. Just as well, I have plenty of time now. Come to me and tell me slowly.”
As the old lady spoke, she walked toward them with her cane.
The sound of the cane hitting the ground was like a death knell to Zhou Juanjuan.
“Come with me!”
The old lady’s tone allowed no refusal.
Zhou Juanjuan looked pleadingly at her children and husband, but no one was willing to pay attention to her.
“What are you dilly-dallying for? Waiting for me to invite you?”
With these words, how could Zhou Juanjuan refuse? She could only follow the old lady to her room with a mournful face.
The old lady walked a few steps, seeming to suddenly remember something, and said to Yu Tingzhou, “Handle this matter well. Don’t tarnish the Yu family’s reputation.”
“Just now Tingyu was right about one thing: the Yu family cannot have a murderer for a daughter-in-law!”
“I know, Grandma. I will handle this matter properly.”
The old lady had great confidence in Yu Tingzhou. Hearing him say this, she walked straight toward the bedroom.
Yu Tingzhou hadn’t gone far just now.
Hearing the commotion, he turned back, just in time to see Shen Zhouyue pushing Wen Qiusheng’s hand away.
Although he felt in his heart that Shen Zhouyue wasn’t that kind of person, seeing is believing. The image he saw was Shen Zhouyue pushing Wen Qiusheng away.
Considering the scene he witnessed, his eyes looking at Shen Zhouyue inevitably carried a hint of suspicion, and he didn’t immediately step forward to defend Shen Zhouyue.
Shen Zhouyue inadvertently glanced at Yu Tingzhou and noticed his look. His heart went cold instantly.
So he doesn’t believe me either…
Shen Zhouyue gave a bitter smile.
He no longer expected anyone to defend him. He pointed directly at the surveillance equipment in the corridor not far away and said, “There is a surveillance camera here. Just check the footage and you’ll know what happened.”
“The surveillance video should clearly show that he grabbed my hand forcefully first. I shook off his hand, and then he fell.”
Shen Zhouyue extended his hand. On his originally beautiful hand, there was a red, swollen mark and several scratches.
His skin was very fair, so even a little mark looked very serious.
“I know it’s the first time I’ve met you all, so it’s normal that you don’t trust me. But if you had just looked at the surveillance, you wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to pour dirty water on me.”
“It seems the Yu family is too high for me to climb. Let’s separate after we go back. If I had known your family disliked me so much, I wouldn’t have come here today…”
Before Shen Zhouyue could finish his words, Yu Tingzhou walked quickly to his side. “You are with me, not them.”
“Don’t say such things again; I don’t want to hear them.”
Yu Tingzhou lowered his head, his gaze falling on Shen Zhouyue’s wound. Frowning, he said, ” knowing he’s not a good person, why did you get so close to him?”
He blew gently on Shen Zhouyue’s wound. The light breeze landed on the wound, making Shen Zhouyue want to pull his hand back uncomfortably.
But Yu Tingzhou had no intention of letting go.
“You know your own body well. Must you find trouble for yourself just for a moment of spite?”
Although Yu Tingzhou’s tone carried a hint of blame, it was mostly concern.
However, because of Yu Tingzhou’s look just now, Shen Zhouyue didn’t really want to appreciate it.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes hiding the expression in his eyes. He withdrew his hand lightly and said in a bland tone, “I was just passing by. Who knew he would suddenly go crazy?”
“If I had known earlier, I would rather have hidden.”
And saved myself from getting covered in filth…
Shen Zhouyue’s words had a double meaning.
If he had known Wen Qiusheng would appear today, he certainly wouldn’t have come. It affected his mood too much.
“Tingyu, next time don’t bring irrelevant people home. Who knows what ideas such people harbor in their hearts?”
“I know your sister-in-law’s character. He doesn’t have the guts to do such a thing. This matter is either a misunderstanding or someone deliberately plotting.”
Wen Qiusheng’s closed eyes moved slightly, eyelashes trembling.
Shen Zhouyue guessed Wen Qiusheng was likely feigning unconsciousness. An idea formed in his heart, and he planned to continue provoking Wen Qiusheng.
“Tingzhou, forget it!”
“We can’t let Tingyu and the others cut off contact with their friends just because of us. That would be too much.”
“Although I don’t get along with Mr. Wen, it’s just a small matter. I think today’s situation must be a misunderstanding.”
Shen Zhouyue’s tone was very gentle, and his speech was very slow, sounding very comfortable.
Of course, Wen Qiusheng didn’t think so.
“Fine. No need to waste time on irrelevant people. Tingyu, you invited this person, so you are responsible!”
“No matter what, he was injured in our house. You take responsibility for taking care of him until he recovers!”
Yu Tingzhou spoke lightly, but Yu Tingyu was unwilling.
He had a playful personality; otherwise, he wouldn’t know Wen Qiusheng.
Now asking him to give up his free life for someone he had known for less than half a year? He wouldn’t do it.
He frowned and noticed Grandma wasn’t here, so he carefully sidled up to Yu Tingzhou with a somewhat ingratiating smile. “Brother Tingzhou, how about… how about you help him find a nurse?”
Yu Tingzhou didn’t speak.
Yu Tingyu observed carefully and found no trace of impatience on Yu Tingzhou’s face, so he continued, “I’m very busy every day; I don’t have time to take care of him.”
“And you know my personality, Tingzhou. I’m not cut out for taking care of people. To avoid making him worse, let professional people do it!”
Yu Tingyu gave a well-behaved smile to Yu Tingzhou, making Yu Tingzhou feel somewhat helpless.
“Contact my assistant directly; he will arrange it.”
“Alright, it’s getting late. Your sister-in-law’s hand is injured. I’ll take him to treat it. His health isn’t very good. Don’t make him angry next time, understood?”
This was the first time Yu Tingyu had seen Yu Tingzhou with a cold face, so he nodded obediently.
Just as Yu Tingzhou planned to pull Shen Zhouyue away, Wen Qiusheng suddenly sat up from the ground, clutching his head.
His eyes were somewhat blank, carrying a trace of panic.
Looking at the people surrounding him, “Where… where is this?”
He adopted a defensive posture, looking panicked and somewhat pitiful.
Shen Zhouyue, however, didn’t believe Wen Qiusheng’s act at all.
He approached with a smile and asked, “Do you remember nothing?”
Before Shen Zhouyue could reach Wen Qiusheng’s side, Wen Qiusheng panicked. “Go… go away…”
His body was trembling, and his face showed fear, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Seeing Wen Qiusheng like this, Yu Tingyu muttered softly, “And you say this has nothing to do with you? If it had nothing to do with you, how could he show such a reaction…”
He thought his voice was very quiet, but the space here wasn’t large, and Yu Tingyu’s voice was very clear, so naturally, others could hear it too.
Yu Tingzhou immediately lowered his face. “Yu Tingyu!”
Yu Tingyu immediately made a zipping motion across his mouth, indicating he would be obedient and not talk too much.
Shen Zhouyue didn’t continue to approach. Keeping a certain distance, he asked softly, “Do you really remember nothing?”
