Chapter 37. More Suspicious

Shen Yanyan's question drew the attention of the crowd.

 In the beginning, they thought that Shen Tao was annoying.

 Now, they were purely curious.

 The gossip of strangers always attracted attention.

 "Shen Yanyan, don't talk nonsense!" Realizing that Shen Yanyan would resist, Shen Tao started to panic.

 He just wanted to shut Shen Yanyan up, but he had just established a good image as her brother. If he hit her, his good image would be destroyed.

 "Nonsense?" Shen Yanyan stood up and faced Shen Tao without fear. "Brother, don't you know whether I'm talking nonsense? "

 Then, Shen Yanyan ignored Shen Tao and continued talking.

"Everyone, he's my brother but has a bad attitude towards me. He even scolds and beats me at every turn.

 It's different from what he said. I didn't run away from home in a fit of anger. I chose to resist because he scolded, hit, and humiliated me.

 All in all, he's abusing me!"

 Shen Yanyan's words were loud and clear.

 "Domestic, domestic violence? No, do you have evidence? Young girls nowadays are full of lies. Because of their rebellion, they can say anything."

 One of the onlookers was about to give a long speech.

 However, Shen Yanyan unhurriedly unbuttoned her sleeves as he spoke and revealed her arm.

 Shen Yanyan was so skinny after being abused by Shen Tao.

 Now, countless red and purple marks ran through her thin arm.

 It was a shocking sight.

 Those who thought Shen Yanyan was lying and speaking up for Shen Tao were now speechless.

 The cafe fell into silence.

 Some people had already realized they had wronged Shen Yanyan by believing Shen Tao.

 However, after a long while, there were still people who were unwilling to believe the truth and began to find excuses.

 "Maybe, maybe you drew it? I know that the makeup skills of the young ladies are the best."

 "Yeah! There's a good saying that it might not be true even if you see it with your own eyes."

"Since the technology of forgery is so good now, it's not impossible to fake injuries to gain sympathy."

"Even if your brother did hit you, he might only be disappointed. You're still in the wrong. Apologize to your brother and go home."

 "Well said! Would your brother hit you if you didn't do anything wrong?"

 "You can't clap with one hand, and a fly won't bite a seamless egg."

 "..."

 The stubborn people were frantically looking for excuses.

 In the end, their words even became distorted.

 What did he mean by 'if you didn't do anything wrong, would your brother hit you'?

 Domestic violence was wrong.

 This has always been an eternal truth.

 Shen Tao was even more pleased with himself.

 "That's right; I'm just being impatient." Shen Tao was acting again.

 Seeing this, I finally couldn't help it.

 "Flies don't bite seamless eggs? As long as it's a stinky egg, even flies would bite it. "

 "Can't you clap with one hand? Guess, does it make a sound if my hand lands on your face?"

 I faced the person who spoke up for Shen Tao.

 From the looks of it, I was only criticizing one of them.

 I'm saying this to all those who don't have the right values.

 The 'Elite' who had been shouting just now unconsciously lowered his head after I finished speaking.

 They knew that it was wrong for Shen Tao to abuse Shen Yanyan.

 They were just unwilling to admit it.

 They were unwilling to admit that they had once helped bad people.

 Therefore, they started to speak up for Shen Tao and found excuses for his past mistakes, trying to make him a good person.

 It was laughable.

 "Well said! I support you."

 In the silence, the little brother sitting in the corner suddenly shouted.

 Since he took the lead, the rest of the clear-headed people also started to speak up for Shen Yanyan.

 "There's no reason for domestic violence. It's wrong."

"All of you have received nine years of compulsory education. What's wrong? Can't you tell right from wrong? "

 "Maybe they're the fish that slipped through the net from the nine years of compulsory education."

 "Little girl, do you need legal help? Although I'm not a top lawyer, I'm more than enough to help you teach that scumbag a lesson."

 "Hahaha, there are still many good people in the world! I thought there were no good people in this world."

 "..."

 They chimed in one after another, expressing their true thoughts.

 Shen Tao, who was already guilty, didn't dare to argue with those who had spoken up for him.

 They lowered their heads profoundly and could not say a word.

 Under everyone's gaze, I walked up to Shen Tao and said, "Shen Tao, your hypocrisy will be exposed one day."

 Although I'm not much taller than Shen Tao, I feel like I'm looking down on him.

 However, Shen Tao suddenly laughed eerily.

 "Hahaha, cheese, you wait.

 Do you think that Shen Yanyan can get rid of me? I'm Shen Yanyan's brother and her family!

 Even if everyone knows I'm wrong, Shen Yanyan can't change her identity! She should be under my control and earn money for me!"

 Shen Tao got more and more excited.

 After speaking, he looked up and tried to find a trace of anger on my face.

 But I wasn't angry.

 My expression did not change.

 Let's not talk about whether or not Shen Tao and Shen Yanyan's relationship was real.

 Even though Shen Tao was Shen Yanyan's brother, he couldn't stop her from leaving.

 Shen Yanyan was human.

 She was a living person.

 Just based on this, Shen Tao could not control her completely!

 Under Shen Tao's expectant gaze, I opened my mouth, and my voice was still as calm as water, "What are you looking forward to?

 Are you expecting me to be angry? Or do you think my reaction now is to grab your collar and give you a hard punch?

You'll slander me after I make an impulsive decision and say that I'm trying to hurt you to defeat me? "

 I raised my eyebrows and said, without any mercy.

 What I said was precisely what Shen Tao felt in his heart.

 The way he looked at me was initially filled with anger.

 But now, it was mixed with fear.

 "Shen Tao," I smiled at him. "I have a question to ask you."

 "W-what question?" Shen Tao subconsciously replied.

 "Are you Shen Yanyan's brother?"

 I went straight to the point without any hesitation.

 "..."

 Shen Tao was stunned by my sudden question.

 Even though he tried his best to hide his emotions, I still noticed that he avoided my gaze.

 He was trying to avoid the question.

 Because of his actions, I feel my guess is accurate.

 Shen Yanyan was most likely not Shen Tao's biological sister.

 Tsk, the human heart is fearsome.

 "What nonsense are you spouting? How could Shen Yanyan not be my sister? Her birth certificate is in my hands!

Don't doubt my relationship with my sister! Although she's possessed now and doesn't understand how good I am to her, one day, she will understand!

 You're deluding Shen Yanyan, I'm sure of it! But have you ever thought that Shen Yanyan would starve to death and be eliminated from society if she left me?"

 Shen Tao kept talking.

 I vaguely remember.

 When a person lies, they unconsciously speak faster and panic, trying to cover up the truth with different words.

 What a coincidence.

 All of them hit Shen Tao.
