Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

The smile on Shen Ron’s lips faded and he looked askance at her as he listened to her continue speaking, “I said I wouldn’t go back with you, and even if you took me back by force, I’d leave just the same unless you locked me up.”

“Just hate me that much?” He asked.

“Yes.” She replied.

Shen Ron didn’t let that stop him, forcing her into his arms again and leading her towards the Bentley in front of the building. He took her with one arm, pulled open the door with the other, ignored her struggle and shoved her into the car, locked the door and went around to the other side to get into the car.

Inside the carriage, Shen Ron caught Cheng Lydia, who was desperately tugging at the door, by both shoulders and spun her around, saying uncharitably, “You can leave home if you want to, but you can’t stay here.”

“Why not?” Cheng Lydia glared at him.

“Because Gu William is here and I’m not comfortable with that.”

“We’re getting divorced soon, and what I do with him is my business.”

“Then you can move back after the divorce.” Shen Ron gritted his teeth, “By then, even if you move to the Gu family mansion, no one will stop you.”

Shen Ron released her, started the engine and the car edged out of the garden.

Cheng Lydia mentally calculated that if Shen Ron had to force her to go back to The Shen Family mansion, then she would choose to jump out of the car and escape. Anyway, she had already made up her mind and would not go back.

She didn’t give the strained-faced Shen Ron more than a glance, her gaze remaining on the scenery flying by outside the window since the beginning, making her more and more puzzled by the fact that the road Shen Ron took didn’t lead back to The Shen Family mansion, but to downtown.

Do you want to buy her jewellery again to get rid of her? Or treat her to a Western dinner?

If that were true, she would find him hypocritical and ridiculous.

However, the car turned into a garden at that moment and stopped in front of a familiar building.

The surprise on Cheng Lydia’s face was clearly visible, surveying the building outside the house for a long time before she asked, “What did you bring me here for?”

This was the apartment building where Shen Ron had brought her back to recuperate after she was injured by Lim Edith, and apparently Shen Ron wanted her to live back in the same apartment she was living in at the time.

“Aren’t you leaving The Shen Family to live on your own, so you can stay here.” Shen Ron unbuckled his seatbelt, and seeing her sitting motionless in her seat, looked at her ask askance as she did, “What? Not willing?”

“Can I possibly say no?”

“No.”

“That’s it.” Cheng Lydia unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, leaning down to stare at Shen Ron through the glass car window and said coldly, “Then I’ll stay here for the night and I’ll move out when the divorce paperwork is done.”

Shen Ron pushed open the door and got out, and Cheng Lydia watched him go around the front of the car to the rear trunk, open the rear trunk door, and ask, as it were, “What do you want?”

“Take you up.” Shen Ron lifted two suitcases out of the back trunk of the car and led the way to the building.

Cheng Lydia hurried to follow him and surveyed the suitcase in his hand, it was her suitcase, she was planning to use it tomorrow for her things to move out of Shen Mansion, how could … it be.

Cheng Lydia was so deep in thought that she didn’t come back to her senses until Shen Ron opened the door and walked in.

Shen Ron placed the box in the foyer and said, “I asked Amy to put in everything you’ll need, so if you need anything else, go to the supermarket and acquire it yourself.”

Shen Ron took another gold card out of his wallet and handed it to her, “Keep this one for yourself.”

Cheng Lydia looked at the card in his hand, her mind was confused, she was divorcing him, why did he give her a place to live and a gold card? Why are you trying to buy her off with this trick?

When she hesitated to reach out to take it, Shen Ron shoved the gold card into her hand, “You don’t have to feel embarrassed, we’re a couple, it’s only natural for a wife to spend her husband’s money.”

“Shen Ron, what the hell do you want? Can you make it clearer to me?” Cheng Lydia slapped her gold card on the tabletop and stared at him with an annoyed look on her face, “I’m not joking with you, or messing with you, or waiting for you to cajole me, beg me, or please me. I’ve really figured it out and want the kind of life I want.”

“If you could have lived the kind of life you wanted, you would have done it already and you wouldn’t have had to marry me in the first place.” Shen Ron held her shoulder with his palm, “I figured that out too, I didn’t want to miss you, I wanted to keep you.”

Cheng Lydia heard his words and instead of being moved, she was bitter enough to laugh.

Yes, how could he miss her? If he missed her, where else could he find someone who looks like Yang June and has a very similar personality?

His heart belongs to Yang June completely, he loves her to the core, and when Yang June passes away one day, he can still use her as a substitute to relieve the pain of longing.

“I know you don’t like living in The Shen Family mansion, you like your freedom, and I’ve made a deal with Grandma to let you live here from now on.”

“And what about you? Come over once a month like we agreed?” Cheng Lydia lost her smile, what was the difference between that and keeping a secret lover in a golden house?

Yes, her relationship with Shen Ron was originally an agreement, and aside from that marriage license, it wasn’t even close to those little lovers out there.

At least they have feelings for each other. To put it bluntly, she’s just a procreative tool that people buy with money.

A trip to Japan, a romantic Western dinner, she was spoiled by Shen Ron, and actually asked for the love and dignity that only ordinary people are entitled to have.

“I’m staying here with you.” Shen Ron’s voice rang out, earnest and calm.

Had she misheard?

Cheng Lydia raised her head suddenly and stared at him in surprise before asking, “Where’s Ms. Yang? Don’t you have to stay at Shen Mansion with her?”

“I’ve decided to take her to the hospital.”

“Why?”

“Here’s the price, Grandma agreed to let you move out of Shen Mansion on the condition that June be sent away with you.”

Cheng Lydia’s heart tightened.

How could Shen Ron accept such a request from the old lady? Didn’t he have to keep Yang June at Shen Mansion as a way to preserve her identity and status?

So that she could get out of Shen Mansion, Shen Ron sent Yang June away from Shen Mansion?

This is absolutely great for her, but why … is it so hard on her heart?

“Why would you do that? It doesn’t seem like a decision you would make.” She muttered.

“To keep you.” He said.

“But I don’t want that.” Cheng Lydia gazed up at him and said with a straight face, “I’m the one who interfered in your marriage, and I never wanted to take her place in your heart. Maybe you’ll think I’m being hypocritical if I say that, so you can still interpret it that way, it’s me, Cheng Lydia, who doesn’t want to be psychologically burdened, who doesn’t want to be accused of breaking someone’s marriage, who doesn’t want to be reduced to a shameless woman in other people’s mouths.”

“How I interpret that is up to me.” Shen Ron sighed softly, “I’ve sent June to Yarn.”

“Yahn?” Cheng Lydia was surprised again, then smiled mockingly, “You’re not afraid I’ll poison her again?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sure you don’t.”

He believed her? So he sent Yang June to Yarn for long-term treatment?

Wasn’t having his trust the thing she’d been looking forward to most these days?

“I have no direct proof that Ho Gina did the poisoning, and she’s biting the bullet that she didn’t. Ho Gina is Zhang Jane’s daughter, grew up in Shen Mansion, and is considered part of The Shen Family, so even if she admits it, I can’t really take her to the police, I can only protect June better in the days to come and not give her a chance to get close.”

From his words, Cheng Lydia understood that in fact he did not believe himself 100%, of course, Shen Ron would say that he believed her words and would come to her voluntarily to ask for forgiveness is already out of her expectation.

Shen Ron, I’ve already decided to get a divorce, so why are you coming back to me with this?

Cheng Lydia drew a bitter, helpless breath and bent down to lift her two traveling boxes into the house.

After Shen Ron leaves, Cheng Lydia finally answers the phone that’s been getting blasted by Chung Grace.

Chung Grace was furious and got right to the point: “Cheng Lydia, you didn’t really go home with Shen Ron, did you? You weren’t won over by his fake sweet words, were you? You haven’t changed your mind, have you? I’m warning you, you’re not a 17 or 18 year old girl anymore, you should have some stance and dignity.”

Although she shouldn’t meddle in other people’s private affairs, Chung Grace can’t help but want to do so because she can’t stand the thought of her best sister being bullied by a man like that.

Cheng Lydia was silent for a moment and returned her sentence, “Pick me up tomorrow at Xingtai Residence.”

“Really?”

“Hmm.”

“Okay, I’ll definitely be there early tomorrow!” Chung Grace hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Cheng Lydia took the phone off her ear, her heart, beginning to wander.

I have to admit, Shen Ron’s words tonight still hit her that much, especially after knowing that he was willing to send Yang June to the hospital for her.

But Chung Grace is right, she’s too old to be overwhelmed by sweet words that she doesn’t know are true.

The next day, Cheng Lydia woke up early, had breakfast outside with Chung Grace and did some gift shopping before driving to The Shen Family mansion.

Cheng Lydia returned to The Shen Family just as Shen Ron was leaving in his Bentley, the two cars met in the garden, the windows slowly lowered and Shen Ron’s handsome face with a light smile showed up and said to Cheng Lydia, “Remember to make dumplings for dinner today, I’ll be home on time. I’ll be home on time.”

Cheng Lydia gave him a breathless look and ignored it.

Chung Grace, however, was so angry that she almost jumped out of the car and screamed, “This guy! That’s a blatant provocation, really arrogant and self-absorbed narcissist!”

Shen Ron, however, slowly closed the window again before she could finish cursing and drove off in the direction of the gate.

“Hey! Why did he leave, who do we talk to when he’s gone?”

Cheng Lydia smiled indifferently and pointed to a spot up ahead, “Just park there.”

Chung Grace parked the car in the garden, and Cheng Lydia had expected her to be eager to get out, but she didn’t turn off the engine, let alone unbuckle her seat belt and get out.

“What’s wrong?”

“I …” Chung Grace smiled apologetically, “Shen Ron is gone, I’d better not go, you talk to the old lady.”

Cheng Lydia scowled at her, nodded knowingly, and got out of the car herself.

“I’ll come pick you up later.” Chung Grace maneuvered the steering wheel to turn around, then quickly departed.

Cheng Lydia understands in her heart that Chung Grace is impatient and easily angered. She is worried that she will not get along with the old lady when she is confronted with her words and will impulsively turn her back on the old lady or pounce on her and tear her apart.

If Shen Ron was there, she could point all the fingers at Shen Ron, take it out on him too, and fight him to the end, and Shen Ron was the first party.

Cheng Lydia also knows that Shen Ron is off today and doesn’t have to work at all, so it looks like he’s avoiding it on purpose.

Cheng Lydia took a light breath and took a step towards the house.

Amy squints and greets her, “Young lady is back, good morning young lady.”

Cheng Lydia smiled at her, scanned the large living room and asked, “Where is the old lady?”

“The old lady hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days and hasn’t been out of her room.”

“What’s wrong with the old lady?”

“The doctor says it’s chest congestion from bad moods.”

“The old lady’s mood …” Cheng Lydia stopped asking, in fact she already knew in her heart what was going on, how could the old lady’s mood be unstable after all that had happened these days?

Amy, however, lowered her voice and said to her, “The old madam is angry with the young master, the young master has been arguing with the old madam every day for the past few days, the young master is even yelling to move out of The Shen Family mansion, the old madam got sick in a fit of anger, plus she has caught a cold in the past two days, she is miserable.”

Cheng Lydia was stunned, as far as she knew, Shen Ron is still very filial to the old lady, if not particularly touch the bottom line usually will not be anxious with the old lady, even if anxious, will not be ruthlessly will be angry with her half dead.

This time Shen Ron actually moved so much anger? It’s really perverse!

She took a step towards the old lady’s house, and Zhang Jane happened to come out of the house with the food, seeing her face flashing instantly with a flash of apology and lowering her head in greeting, “You’re back, young lady.”

What she doesn’t understand is whether Zhang Jane knew beforehand that Ho Gina was poisoning Yang June, or whether she knew afterwards, or whether she was complicit with her.

Zhang Jane seemed like the kind of woman who was honest and comfortable with her on a regular basis, and Cheng Lydia preferred to believe that she knew about it only after the fact.

“What’s the matter? The old lady isn’t eating?” She surveyed the tray in Zhang Jane’s hands.

Zhang Jane sighed, “Yeah, I haven’t eaten since last night.”

“Let me do it.” Cheng Lydia took the tray and stepped towards the house.

The curtains in the room were closed, the light was dim, and the old woman was leaning back on the bed with her eyes closed.

Cheng Lydia placed the tray on the bedside table and went to the window and pulled the curtains back in their entirety and pushed the floor-to-ceiling windows open a bit. The interior was suddenly brighter and the air circulated a lot better.

The old woman seemed to be awakened by the sudden light, and opened her eyes surreptitiously.

“Are you feeling better about your cold, Grandma?” Cheng Lydia smiled as she walked over and took her outstretched palm.

“You’re back.” The old woman smiled and gestured for her to sit down.

Cheng Lydia sat down before her bed as she had been told, and said in a kind and reassuring voice, “Grandmother, you must not always close the windows and curtains; the windows will get well quicker when the air is circulating, and too little light tends to depress the mind.”

The old lady nodded and Cheng Lydia added, “And ah, eat your meals on time, I heard from Zhang Jane that you didn’t even eat last night.”

“Can’t eat, no appetite at all.”

“You have to eat something even if you don’t have an appetite, be a good girl, I’ll feed you, okay?” Cheng Lydia picked up the meal on the table.
