I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 658 A Person Without Guilt

Gu Chaoxi let out a long sigh. How to describe this feeling? It was as if he couldn't speak.

Zhou Jie is a very ordinary person. Perhaps if he was born in an ordinary family, he could get the love of his parents and have a less stressful living environment.

But unfortunately, their family is not that ordinary.

A brilliant elder brother seemed to attract everyone's attention, so much so that no one noticed that there was actually a younger brother in the family.

My brother's life may be excellent, but not necessarily happy.

My parents had high expectations for my brother, and in order to make him better in painting, they had to let him train frequently and paint day after day.

To be honest, my brother is not happy.

He would rather live a simple life and have simple happiness like his brother.

Unfortunately, however, there doesn't seem to be much tacit understanding between the two brothers, and they don't know each other's true thoughts.

So that in the end, they were separated forever.

There was coldness, mockery, and even a hint of regret in Shen Liao's eyes.

What is there to regret? Such a gifted child of destiny ended up dying at the hands of his own brother?

of course not.

"Why is he still able to run a coffee shop here? Because his brother saved him in the end."

Before he died, in order to prevent others from knowing that his younger brother was a murderer who killed his parents and brother, the man actually held on to his last breath and jumped from the building, becoming a well-known suicide.

At that time, Zhou Jie happened to walk out of the building, and he fell in front of Zhou Jie.

With one last look, I remembered him deeply in my heart.

"Why do you know so much?" Gu Chaoxi turned his head.

Shen Liao had been telling other people's stories from beginning to end, but Zhou Jie was not even willing to mention her.

Obviously, Zhou Jie either didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Liao, or he was really not very familiar with Shen Liao.

"Because I used to be his brother's lover." When saying this, Shen Liao raised his hand to cover his forehead.

The hair on the forehead covers the forehead, so you can't see anything.

But Gu Chaoxi keenly noticed that Shen Liao might have suffered some injury on her forehead, which was why she was so reluctant to expose her forehead.

Or maybe it has something to do with some experience in her past, so that she likes to look at others and try to see through their hearts.

Everyone looked towards Shen Liao.

This is indeed a somewhat unexpected answer.

"You also witnessed his death?"

"Yeah." Shen Liao nodded. At that time, she was looking forward to the boy she liked coming to celebrate her birthday.

But when she came out of the dessert shop carrying the cake, the street was in an uproar and everyone was saying that the young painter had committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Her smile faded inch by inch, and when she stumbled over, all she saw was blood all over the ground.

The man lying in a pool of blood had eaten breakfast with her in the morning and was still dreaming about their future.

How could he commit suicide?

In an instant, Shen Liao knew the cause of death. She was so angry that she rushed up to hit Zhou Jie and questioned how could this man do such a thing.

However, Zhou Jie just looked numbly at the lifeless person on the ground. After a long time, he turned around and forced a smile towards Shen Liao.

"Shen Liao, who among us is innocent?"

She thought this man was really crazy. She cried and slapped him in the face, calling him a devil.

But because he was his younger brother, everyone advised him to mourn and accept the loss.

Some people even thought that Shen Liao was crazy. How could he treat Zhou Jie so madly?

Yes, she was indeed crazy.

From childhood to adulthood, she couldn't get anything she wanted, and her parents were not nice to her.

In fact, she is no different from an orphan. She grew up with great difficulty and got to know Zhou Jie's brother, a talented but a little melancholy man, because of a misunderstanding.

It was like a blade of grass finding the sunshine. She eagerly absorbed the sunshine from it, wanting to make herself better.

He was always generous in telling Shen Liao that she was actually a good person and it was other people who were not good.

Later they naturally became close and became an ordinary couple.

Even if everyone else said that Shen Liao was not worthy, he still firmly told others that Shen Liao was a good person and had his shining points, but no one saw them.

Obviously everything is getting better.

"What about you and Du Yuzhao? What was the grudge between you two?" Pei Yan asked again.

This time, Shen Liao did not avoid the topic, but looked at Pei Yan.

But she didn't answer, she just lowered her eyes and rubbed her fingers on her wrists.

"Du Yuzhao? That guy, ah, he won't tell, right?" Thinking of something, Shen Liao sneered.

"Go ask him yourself. Those things he did are really laughable. He is the one who has no guilt."

"I am just an outsider. I cannot control others, nor should I talk about other people's affairs."

Shen Liao didn't say anything about Du Yuzhao.

It’s not that I can’t say it, but I suddenly feel there is no need to do so.

Du Yuzhao didn't do anything wrong to her, so she didn't care.

Yesterday in the art museum, if Du Yuzhao hadn't bumped into someone by mistake, she wouldn't have wanted to talk to that person.

I always like to put on some pretentious look in front of strangers, especially when I meet tourists from other places, I like to pretend that I am a rookie.

Shen Liao frowned in disgust. Just thinking about this person made him feel uncomfortable.

She bent down, stretched out her right hand to rub her legs, and stood up impatiently by supporting herself on the table.

"I want to go home, please let me out."

Staying here any longer would be the end of her life.

Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything, he just moved sideways to make room for Shen Liao, and the man just moved sideways and squeezed out from the gap.

No one stopped her, and she limped out, clutching one of her trouser legs with her left hand.

Zhou Jie looked up from behind the bar and watched the people walking out of the cafe.

Shen Liao didn't turn around the whole time, but just lowered his head slightly. After he went out, he disappeared into the crowd in a short while.

Pei Yan withdrew his gaze and saw Zhou Jie also lowering his head.

He smiled with the corners of his lips, feeling a little ironic, and looked at the silent Gu Chaoxi.

"How credible can Shen Liao's words be?"

"Eight points. The story is believable, but she glossed over some details."

For example, why is the relationship between Zhou Jie and her so delicate now? If she is really the girlfriend of Zhou Jie's brother, even if his brother is dead, she shouldn't have that expression and behavior when meeting her former sister-in-law, right?

Is it true, as Shen Liao said, that she and her brother have a good relationship?
