Chapter 28 Unraveling the mystery

"This dish is fresh, lobster spring rolls, Xiaoxu, try it." Shen Mingchen suddenly became interested. Yunxi was not satisfied with the dishes for his brother, so he suddenly picked up a spring roll and put it in the small bowl in front of Shen Mingxu.

In order to look neat and tidy like everyone else, Shen Mingxu used the same small bowl as everyone else. The small bowl that Yunxi could fill with two chopsticks turned into a small mountain of food with a spring roll. Shen Mingxu didn't see what happened when the chopsticks just touched the spring roll. The spring roll had already rolled down to his collar and then fell straight to the ground.

"Hey, it fell, don't move, let me see." Almost at the same time, Yunxi found that the food had fallen, put her hand on his arm, and reminded him in a low voice.

The moon-white shirt was abrupt because of a small oil stain. Shen Mingxu had mentioned that there would be a family photo session after dinner, so he had to change clothes. Yunxi whispered in his ear, "Change your shirt, just change your outer shirt, it will be done soon."

"Well, okay, I'll go upstairs and change." Shen Mingxu looked down at the collar of his shirt, but he couldn't see where it was dirty. Thinking that he had to change, he asked for leave from his mother who was on the left side of his brother and sister-in-law, "Mom, I'll go upstairs to change clothes and be back soon."

Mrs. Shen nodded and said yes. Shen Mingxu turned the wheel rim and backed the wheelchair out of the banquet. The man and woman beside him actually stood up together, bent down quietly and accompanied the wheelchair out.

"I'll go, it's my fault." The eldest son spoke with a smile, half joking and half serious with his younger brother.

"Brother, go back quickly, I'll just change my shirt." Shen Mingxu didn't mean to blame his brother. Besides, he was the one who accidentally knocked the food out.

Without saying anything else, Shen Mingchen did not leave, and even helped his brother push the wheelchair.

Shen Mingxu, the housekeeper, Shen Mingchen, and Yunxi, the four of them went upstairs together and came to the young master's bedroom.

"Please wait a moment, I will help Xiaoxu change clothes." Politely asking the eldest master and the young mistress to wait, the housekeeper pushed the wheelchair and took Shen Mingxu into the bedroom.

After seeing Shen Mingchen sitting down, Yunxi sat down on the sofa farthest from him. Yunxi, who did not like to smile, became even more expressionless in front of Shen Mingchen. Her facial features were high-class and bright, and her temperament was cold and arrogant. She sat in a corner of the sofa with long hair like clouds. Her cold and cute face unconsciously exuded a strange attraction to the opposite sex.

The two brothers do not look alike. Shen Mingxu looks like his mother, with three-dimensional and delicate facial features. Because of his superior bones, he not only looks beautiful in a boy's feminine appearance, but he also does not look feminine.

He is a natural handsome nobleman. Shen Mingchen probably looks like his mother, with soft and generous facial features. Although he is not a handsome man, he has developed the temperament of a noble and tolerant person for many years, which makes him elegant and gentle, and very charming as a mature man. The eldest son has excellent manners and posture. He sits comfortably with his left leg on his right leg, tapping the armrest of the sofa with his fingers leisurely, slowly turning his head and looking at Yunxi with cold eyes. As if examining a commodity and carefully evaluating it, for a long time, Shen Mingchen's mouth did not move, but his eyes were full of smiles, which did not reach his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

Yunxi had to look at him, and Yunxi was very uncomfortable with his gaze. After a few seconds, after receiving too many malicious eyes from the other party, Yunxi turned her head to avoid Shen Mingchen's scrutiny.

If the elder brother doesn't speak, the younger brother can't hear anything, but he looks at Yunxi very aggressively, no doubt not taking his younger brother with bad legs and eyesight seriously.

After the family dinner, the parents were still in high spirits, and the younger generation was also happy to accompany them. Shen Zhongheng pulled his wife to sing, and several elders also sang karaoke together. The lights, music, fragrant tea, fine wine, and snacks were all available, and the atmosphere was warm.

Mrs. Wang Ying, who is a professional performer, also sings professionally and melodiously, but her identity certainly doesn't allow her to be a microphone tyrant, so the wife handed the microphone to her young daughter-in-law, so that the young people could also play and have fun with the elders.

Most people think that the silent Yunxi is an embroidered pillow, thinking that she only has a beautiful appearance, but Yunxi took the microphone and generously ordered a song by a Hong Kong diva who is older than her. She sang softly, and the whole audience listened quietly as soon as she opened her mouth.

The wheelchair stopped beside Yunxi's sofa. Shen Mingxu couldn't see Yunxi's expression in the dim light, but he could see her gentle and affectionate eyes looking at him. The love song was lingering and full of love.

At the end of the song, the sister-in-law took the lead in applauding Yunxi, and at the end she praised her very sincerely, saying that her sister-in-law was worthy of being the school belle of the art school, and her singing was really beautiful and professional.

Shen Mingxu half-closed his eyes, did not talk to them, and did not look at them.

He had his own thoughts in his mind. Whether others like to listen or not, Yunxi only sings one song. Whether praised or criticized, Yunxi is still Yunxi. She is always decent and has no other emotions. She dresses herself up every day to match the identity of the young lady of the Shen family. She is low-key and gentle, and treats everyone with the same attitude. But she is not completely closed to herself. As long as she can help with big and small things at home, she will do her best. She soon became the lady's capable assistant and an important person who is trustworthy and smart in the mouths of the servants.

Yunxi is trying to adapt to this huge family, but Shen Mingxu, as a member of the family, is not living well because his eyesight makes him anxious and painful.

Once, a worker brought him water to take medicine. The light in the room was fine, but the water cup was transparent. He tried to look again and again, but he couldn't see where the cup was. As a result, the word spread that the young master was in poor health and took medicine and got angry at the worker and knocked over the cup.

"Xiaoxu, don't be angry. I have told you that I will not bring you a transparent glass cup again. No, don't mind it anymore." The worker trembled and cleaned up the water stains and broken cups on the floor. Yunxi learned that Shen Mingxu was angry, and immediately came back from her mother-in-law, hugged Shen Mingxu's shoulders to comfort him, and asked him not to be angry anymore.

His eyes were not good to begin with, and the recent reexamination was very bad. He had high intraocular pressure, frequent pain, and large shadows appeared from time to time. The medication had no effect. Yunxi was contacting a better ophthalmologist, hoping for a miracle.

"I'm not angry with him, I..." He was angry with himself, and he was very scared. Shen Mingxu felt that he was really going to go blind.

"I talked to him and told him that I didn't blame him, and I wasn't angry with him. I said that." She patted his back gently, like coaxing a child.

After taking care of Shen Mingxu and making him take medicine, Yunxi applied medicine to his eyes. Seeing that pair of beautiful eyes couldn't focus, and turned around blankly, not knowing where to look, she felt powerless and distressed. Most of the time, it's not enough to have the heart, money, and time to cure a disease.

Shen Mingxu lay listlessly on the bed all day. He didn't respond when Yunxi whispered to him, and would only occasionally hum to show that he was listening.

"We have contacted a designer to help us renovate the lighting on the floor we live in. The house is too big, and it's difficult to renovate the hall and dining room on mom and dad's side right away, but we can start here right away. Also, you use a wheelchair to go in and out, and dad has already asked someone to design the entrance and exit of the main building here, and they should be designed to facilitate wheelchair travel, and they will start soon." Yunxi said so much to comfort Shen Mingxu. In fact, this is his home. Why should he be wronged or unhappy? What he hates most is his legs that cannot walk and his eyes that cannot see. No one has hurt him, and all his complaints come from his body.

Although he is not mobile, Shen Mingxu's rehabilitation of his right leg is very effective. If his eyesight is good, he can try to walk a short distance with crutches. As long as he is not too tired, he will not damage the existing functions of his legs. However, his eyesight is too poor. He cannot see the road under his feet clearly, and he cannot tell whether it is a door or glass in front of him. He cannot walk by himself and can only move around in the room.

The same is true for his eyes. The attending doctor has talked to Yunxi. Shen Mingxu's left eye vision is so poor that it affects his life. Although his left eye still has some vision, he is still advised to start learning Braille, Braille and using a cane to adapt in advance. However, Shen Mingxu's legs cannot walk normally, and he cannot use a cane to assist in his movements while using crutches. Therefore, his poor health undoubtedly restricts his ability to take care of himself, and he has entered a dead end of repeated cycles.

Living together every day, Mrs. Shen fully understood the difficulties of her youngest son, and she also saw Yunxi's meticulous care and concern for him. She liked Yunxi more and more, and felt that it was her son's luck to meet such a lover.

Yunxi accompanied Shen Mingxu to visit an ophthalmologist. During the car and flight, Shen Mingxu's left leg began to cramp before he got off the plane. It took almost a whole day to reach the destination. When he lay down in the hotel, he felt uncomfortable and vomited. Fortunately, there were caregivers and drivers with him, otherwise Yunxi would not be able to take care of him properly.

His legs hurt so much that he couldn't even straighten his waist, let alone get in and out of the wheelchair and take care of himself. Shen Mingxu was taken care of by the caregiver in the bathroom for a long time, and Yunxi was allowed to come in only after it was completely cleaned up.

In such a messy situation at the time, Yunxi didn't regret bringing him out to see the eyes. The old expert said a word, and she really regretted bringing Shen Mingxu out to face the trial.

"You are blind in your right eye. The reason is very complicated. You have keratoconus, and your left eye must be affected due to multiple injuries and detachment. It is not a healthy eye. Blindness is only a matter of time. All treatments are just to treat your psychological acceptance." The old expert looked kind and did a careful and detailed examination, but Yunxi didn't expect him to speak so directly in front of Shen Mingxu. She just wanted to rush over and cover his mouth.

Shen Mingxu said nothing since he heard the doctor's words. He nodded slightly and reached out to touch the wheelchair rim. He wanted to go back.

"You..." Yunxi was so angry that she didn't know what to say. How could he talk like that? She saw her lover sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face. He avoided her gaze and lowered his eyelashes. He could no longer hide his sad and lost emotions.

Seeing him being carried into the car and sitting steadily, Yunxi hugged Shen Mingxu's shoulders directly. She supported him and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxu, don't listen to him. Experts are not reliable now. I will accompany you to go abroad to see your eyes again. You will definitely get better."

"He is not wrong, he is just more direct." Enduring the irregular pain in his left leg, Shen Mingxu's eyes were full of black fog. He was really uncomfortable. In fact, he knew that it would not be cured, but he was still unwilling to give up, otherwise he would not have made this trip.

After returning to Nandu, Shen Mingxu lay down for three days before going to the company again. Gradually, he could not see. He could not accept it psychologically. He was unwilling to tell outsiders that he could not see, so he became more dependent on Yunxi. He could not leave her all the time, wanting to hear her voice and hold her hand.

On weekends, Shen Zhongheng was not at home. Mrs. Shen made an appointment with her friends to go out and play cards. The young couple had their own space in the big family.

After giving Shen Mingxu a massage, Yunxi fed him some medicine. He looked listless, but he still raised his hand and wanted to rub his eyes. Yunxi hurriedly held Shen Mingxu's hand, "Does it hurt? I'll help you massage your eye sockets, don't rub your eyes yourself."

"I didn't use much force, it's a little itchy..." In short, Shen Mingxu felt sore and itchy in his eyeballs, and he was uncomfortable. Shen Mingxu's handsome eyebrows wrinkled again. Yunxi held his big hand with her small hand and coaxed him patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Mingxu, who was not so physically fit, fell asleep. Yunxi covered him with a thin blanket and left the bedroom quietly.

The main house of the Shen family has five floors. They live on the west side of the second floor. This elegant and simple building has a high ceiling. There are no bedrooms on the fifth floor and the third underground floor. Are there collections and entertainment facilities there? Not really.

Using various fragmented time, Yunxi had already explored the building clearly.

The design of the building is different from that of ordinary residences, especially the fifth floor and the lowest underground floor, which are equipped with secret doors with heavy passwords and high security levels, just like the most important places among the important ones.

Yunxi went straight to the fifth floor, which was the most important place in the Shen family after she had thought about it for several times. Facing the secret door that needed iris to open, she took out the iris and fingerprint of Shen Mingxu that she had prepared and successfully imitated, and decided to give it a bold try.

She thought about it for a long time and thought that the only people who could open this place were Shen Zhongheng and his wife and Shen Mingchen. Yunxi was not 100% sure whether Shen Mingxu could open it. After all, he had lived in the UK for a long time, and now his health was so poor, the possibility of obtaining the qualification to open the confidential place was relatively low. But she still wanted to give it a try, especially Shen Mingxu was the person who could get her iris and fingerprint most easily, so after everything was done secretly, she took the risk today.

Success! Yunxi used Shen Mingxu's iris to open the door of the secret room on the fifth floor.

As soon as she walked into the door, Yunxi smelled a scent similar to the incense in the temple. The light fragrance was not unpleasant, but she did not expect it.

The door was open and spacious, but not as crowded as she had imagined. She was even prepared for many secret doors inside, but the empty feeling made Yunxi think she was wrong.

She took another step forward and vaguely saw the incense table, which resolved Yunxi's doubts about the fragrance. She looked more carefully and saw that the golden Buddha wearing a Tibetan Buddhist hat was placed behind the incense table. She felt a mixture of secrecy, tension, shock, and excitement that she would never have again in her life.

The tail of midsummer had more rain, but it was still hot. Fortunately, the office building was cool and dry. Half of Shen Mingxu's bones were clamoring, and he said it would rain tomorrow.

"Lie down for a while. You will feel much better after the massage and then apply hot compress. I'll help you with the documents. I'll mark the key points and tell you slowly when you feel better."

Shen Mingxu nodded before Yunxi finished speaking. His legs were cramping badly last night, and it was difficult for him to come to the company today. After sitting for most of the day, his body couldn't stand it anymore.

Shen Mingxu was pushed into the suite by the masseuse in a wheelchair. Before Yunxi walked out of his office, Shen Zhongheng's first secretary sent a message to Yunxi, asking her to come out to explain something.

This was not the first time that Shen Zhongheng's secretary came to see Yunxi, but this time he brought a lot of documents.

The half-foot-high documents were placed on Yunxi's desk. He asked Yunxi to sign them all. As usual, there was no need to let the young master know.
