Chapter 53: Shen Yu’s emotions

Shen Yu has a husband who loves her and a lovely daughter. She was born in an ancient town. Her mother ran away with someone else when she was very young. This kind of thing was very common in this era. She grew up with her father since she was a child. Although she had a stepmother, she was not close to Shen Yu. Daughters are all money-losing goods ... Children who grew up in single-parent families have extremely sensitive inner worlds, and Shen Yu is the same. So when she grew up, she stayed away from the north and settled in Hangzhou.

Her father had instilled in her the idea of being a law-abiding woman since she was a child. Shen Yu did just that when she grew up. She gave up the offer from her favorite art troupe and chose to teach children dancing at the Children’s Palace. At the age of 20, she married a man who seemed to be good at living. She became a good wife who was very good at managing the household. Although her husband was not very capable, he was the man that Shen Yu thought she could control. Although there was no such thing as who controlled whom in married life, it also depended on whether a woman could control her husband. This was indeed the case. In front of her husband Wu Jianhua, Shen Yu had the final say on almost everything. She would not make the decision when there were outsiders. Although the slogan that women could hold up half the sky had been shouted for many years, in this era, men still had the final say.

Shen Yu’s memory of her mother was already very vague. She only remembered that she was a very beautiful woman. Even if a beautiful woman did nothing, she would provoke men. Shen Yu did not want to be a woman like her mother. She would always keep a certain distance from all men, especially those with ulterior motives, which would make her particularly vigilant, just like the young man Lin Li.

Shen Yu still can’t forget the first time she saw Lin Li. At that time, she and her husband walked into the grocery store run by her mother-in-law with their daughter. Lin Li’s eyes were fixed on her. From that moment on, Shen Yu knew that this boy was dangerous. She knew that she was attractive to men, but no one would stare at him. After being discovered, he was not afraid to look at her. From the first moment, she hated Lin Li a little. Shen Yu didn’t know what she hated about him. It might be his confidence and recklessness.

Since then, Shen Yu has always distanced herself from Lin Li. Even if he saved her daughter, she only changed her mind. When they met, she still noticed the boy’s evil thoughts about her, so she kept her vigilance and distance. But since the incident with her father-in-law, Shen Yu understood the importance of relationships and status. Because she knew what Lin Li thought of her, she couldn’t help but compare her husband Wu Jianhua with Lin Li, but the result was incomparable.

Lin Li was born into a family, received education, and was exposed to friends and environment. These determined his vision. Similarly, Wu Jianhua’s process from childhood to adulthood was different. The vision of the two was very different, so naturally there was no comparison. It can only be said that death is the fairest thing for people.

Since then, Shen Yu thought that it would be good to have another capable friend. As long as she controlled herself and kept a good distance, nothing would happen. Gradually, she talked more with Lin Li, and Shen Yu’s perception of him changed again. He was indeed a very attractive teenager. He was sunny and handsome, full of vitality. He was young but not lacking in confidence. He was humorous but not excessive. Even in a short time together, Shen Yu felt a sense of danger. She knew that this was not a man she could control, not to mention that he had had that kind of relationship with her beautiful mother-in-law Zhou Xiaochai. Shen Yu felt that it was necessary to keep a distance from him.
