After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 194 Don't expect me to say thank you

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuheng's mouth dropped open in astonishment: "The Shen family... the Shen family actually has more than just Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiujin, these two illegitimate children?"

There were actually other people?!

Good heavens, how come he... how come he's never heard of this before?

In that instant, all sorts of chaotic thoughts rushed into Luo Yuheng's mind.

He even began to suspect his own father, wondering if his father, like Shen Hanjiang, was not just another illegitimate child like Luo Yuchuan.

Instead, they secretly hid several more outside, but so far, only Luo Yuchuan has come forward.

If that's the case...

Oh my god, he doesn't even dare to think about it anymore!

"Madam, since you're unwilling to tell me the truth, then forget it. I... I'll think of another way myself," Luo Yuheng said helplessly.

Hearing his words, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but roll her eyes, inwardly cursing:

[This guy's IQ isn't high enough, and his EQ is even lower?]

[It's making my hands itch so much, I really want to rush up and slap him twice to wake him up!]

[What do you mean, "Old Madam"? It's one thing for the housekeeper and servants to call me that, but why are you, an outsider, joining in? Wouldn't it be nicer to call me Aunt Shen or Sister Jiang?]

[And look closely, where do I look like an old lady? I'm perfectly well-maintained, with a beautiful face, and I'm in the prime of my youth!]

[Hmph! She really doesn't know how to talk, and she has absolutely no tact!]

[Hmph! What a brainless idiot! He can't even understand basic manners and how to address people properly. I don't know how he grew up!]

Just then, Jiang Mianmian suddenly changed the subject: "If you want to think of other ways, or to find out anything, just go to the government office and ask yourself."

After all, this matter hasn't been concluded yet! Or, do you think you can find out anything useful?

At this point, she couldn't help but curse, "I advise you not to waste your energy asking around, your brother, that bastard, really did kidnap me!"

Then, Jiang Mianmian poured out the truth of the matter all at once: "However, it's not that his excuses about encountering difficulties or lacking money are all lies!"

Instead, he fell in love with a woman, but that woman fell in love with my son, and my son already had someone he liked.

Of course, he refused to be with that woman, so your brother was furious and came to stand up for her. That's why he kidnapped me, hoping to use me to threaten my son..."

So, you silly boy, did you even understand? The reason your brother did this is entirely because he's a complete love-struck idiot! A fool blinded by love!

[And he's seriously obsessed with love; he'd do anything for that woman!]

Jiang Mianmian, with a look of utter disappointment, continued to berate Luo Yuheng, who stood there dumbfounded:

[To kidnap someone for a woman is utterly foolish! They don't even consider the serious consequences. It's both infuriating and laughable!]

Jiang Mianmian looked at Luo Yuheng with deep sympathy in her eyes. Just now, she had looked through Luo Yuheng's plot analysis.

It turns out that Luo Yuheng had always regarded Luo Yuchuan as his closest elder brother, and had complete trust and reliance on him.

However, Luo Yuchuan never truly treated him as a younger brother. On the contrary, he constantly exploited Luo Yuheng's kindness and naivety to achieve his own goals.

[Heh, if it weren't for your mother protecting you so well, you probably would have been sold to those heartless human traffickers by your good brother long ago! Or perhaps, you would have accidentally fallen into the pond and drowned.]

These cold words were like a sharp blade, mercilessly piercing Luo Yuheng's heart.

What he found even more unbelievable was that the time he accidentally fell into the pond was not an accident, but was done by his good older brother, Luo Yuchuan.

[Silly boy, Luo Yuchuan smeared oil on the edge of the pond beforehand, then lured you there so you would "accidentally" slip and fall in.]

[If someone hadn't been passing by, Luo Yuchuan wouldn't have even called for help. In the end, it was a kind passerby who rescued you, otherwise...]

[Not only that, those so-called delicious foods bought especially for you were actually just things Luo Yuchuan obtained from the women who admired him.]

The reason he gave it to you was because he thought the food from the other people was terrible, so he just tossed it to you and, incidentally, bribed you, you naive kid, using you as a "food bucket" to get rid of that garbage.

Besides that, there was another thing that also made Jiang Mianmian sigh.

The reason the girl you liked later fell for Luo Yuchuan was because he secretly took your belongings and wrote his own name on them.

Listening to Jiang Mianmian recount the things Luo Yuchuan had done, Luo Yuheng felt nothing but indignation and sorrow.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! My brother would never do such a thing! You must be lying to me!"

Luo Yuheng stared wide-eyed at Jiang Mianmian in front of him, his emotions collapsing to the extreme.

He couldn't accept this fact because he had countless beautiful memories with his brother.

Those days of playing together and growing up together are still vivid in my mind, how could they be fake?

Luo Yuheng glared at Jiang Mianmian, his voice trembling with anger, and questioned, "Did my mother bribe you? Did she deliberately send you to tell me these lies?"

Let me tell you, no matter what, I will never believe your lies! You won't succeed!

At this moment, Li Tingxue and Guan Lingshuang, who were listening with great interest, were startled by the sudden roar.

The two looked at each other, their faces full of confusion.

What's wrong with him?

"Didn't he just say he wanted to hear the 'truth'? Why is he unhappy now that Grandma (Aunt Jiang) has said it?" Li Tingxue muttered to herself.

Guan Ling Shuang was also completely bewildered, and gently shook her head, indicating that she was equally puzzled.

Luo Yuheng suddenly stood up from his seat, and the movement was so violent that it knocked over the chair behind him.

He pointed at Jiang Mianmian and shouted, "Madam Shen, you have really disappointed me!"

I trusted you so much, and came to you full of hope to ask for answers, but I never expected you to be this kind of person...

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yuheng turned around and left without looking back.

He was so angry that he completely disregarded the etiquette and manners he usually valued.

Watching Luo Yuheng's departing figure, Li Tingxue and Guan Ling Shuang couldn't help but exchange a glance, thinking to themselves:

"Why did Luo Yuheng suddenly start calling Grandma (Aunt Jiang) 'Madam Shen'? Could it really be what we're thinking...?"

Um... what kind of person am I exactly?

Jiang Mianmian frowned, muttering to herself with a face full of doubt.

This Luo Yuheng is really baffling!

Jiang Mianmian grew increasingly angry: "Hmph, I was telling the truth! I didn't lie a single word. Your brother is a complete romantic idiot, plus a paranoid."

[If I hadn't acted decisively and sent him to jail, you and your mother would probably be the next ones to suffer! Not only are you ungrateful, but you also took your anger out on me—you're acting like a complete idiot!]

At this point, Jiang Mianmian continued muttering, "[Tch, besides, it's just a few tiny Gu worms. As long as he does it discreetly, who could possibly find out?]"

At this moment, Luo Yuheng, who had already reached the door, still felt a little guilty, thinking that his behavior just now was somewhat "impolite" and really went too far.

But just as he was about to turn and leave, he overheard Jiang Mianmian's words.

Suddenly, a surge of anger welled up inside him, almost causing him to lose control on the spot. Luo Yuheng gritted his teeth, roaring madly in his heart:

You, Jiang Mianmian! How dare you curse me and my mother like that!

Hmph, even if you beg me to go back now and apologize to me, I will never forgive you.

And don't expect me to say 'thank you,' not a chance!

I'm going to make you so angry, let's see what you can do about it!

For Luo Yuheng, not saying "thank you" to others is not a trivial matter, but a major issue concerning his dignity and face.

So even though he was feeling terrible inside, he stubbornly refused to back down.

Jiang Mianmian snapped, "Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast!"

Jiang Mianmian glared at the figure that had already run off into the distance, and said irritably, "Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast! Otherwise, I would have had the butler throw you out!"

Meanwhile, Luo Yuheng hurriedly ran home.

His handsome face flushed red with anger, attracting the attention of many people along the way. Upon entering the house, his commotion naturally caught Madam Luo's attention.

Luo Yuheng returned home in a huff, attracting the attention of his mother. She knew her son had gone out, but didn't know where he had gone.

Seeing her son like this, Madam Luo was also very annoyed.

He was born from my own womb, yet he always seemed to contradict me, and he was incredibly close to that bastard child, Luo Yuchuan, who almost drove me to my death.

Just thinking about it makes me feel really...

However, Madam Luo's heartache for her son prevailed, and she couldn't bear to lose her temper with him.

So Madam Luo hurried over, grabbed Luo Yuheng's sleeve, and asked softly, "My son, where have you been? Why are you back so angry?"

Luo Yuheng abruptly shook off her mother's hand and said angrily, "Never mind me! I'm in a terrible mood right now!"

Looking at her son's stubborn appearance, Madam Luo felt both heartache and helplessness.

She sighed and said softly, "How can I not care? What happened? Tell me quickly."

But Luo Yuheng was unmoved and still angrily said, "What else could it be? It's just that damned Madam Shen!"
