I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Unrepentant

Everyone fell silent at Shi Nuan’s words. Although her words sounded like a warning, they had to admit that what she said was very reasonable. Huancheng ended up in this state when it was in Shi Jingzheng’s hands. If he continued to manage Huancheng, it would remain the same as before, or perhaps even worse. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Huancheng’s deficit was already bad enough, and the other shareholders did not have any real power. The company might have to declare bankruptcy at any moment. However, the situation would definitely be different if Shi Nuan took over.

Shi Nuan had the Fu clan, the Su family, and the Shen family behind her. If any of them made a move, Huancheng would be able to escape their crisis and might go even further beyond. In any case, it would not be a wasted effort.

Smart people knew how to choose the best for themselves. Furthermore, it seemed that Old Master Shi had planned for this beforehand, which was why he stated in his will to who his shares would be transferred. They had to admit that he really had foresight.

When Shi Nuan saw everyone fall silent, she had a vague understanding in her heart. She raised her eyes as a smile curled on her lips, and just so happened to meet Shen Shixiu’s smiling eyes again.

He looked at her, his eyes closely examining and slightly cheerful. Shi Nuan turned away and looked at Zhou Zheng. “Zhou Zheng.”

With that, Zhou Zheng continued. “There’s another matter, but it doesn’t have anything much to do with Huancheng’s shareholders’ meeting. However, since Mrs. Shi is here, this will save me a separate trip to go to you.”

“What are you planning to do?”

Jiang Yu did not know exactly what Zhou Zheng meant, but her heart stuttered. She was completely helpless now and could only look at the latter warily.

“Nothing. I just want to show you something, Mrs. Shi.” Zhou Zheng chuckled. “I will need to borrow the DVD player and projector for a while more.”

As he spoke, he took out another USB drive from his briefcase. “Guess what’s in here, Mrs. Shi.”

“How would I know what that is?” Jiang Yu snapped at him. She did not like anyone who was related to Shi Nuan.

Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Yu’s behavior and raised his brows, chuckling. “Of course, it has something to do with what you said earlier, Mrs. Shi.” He kept the others in suspense while inserting the USB drive.

Soon, a video was projected on the screen. It was a scene in a hospital. Just when everyone wondered what that video was, Jiang Yu suddenly stiffened and went pale. She rushed up to try and unplug the USB drive. “Don’t try to play your little tricks here. This has nothing to do with today’s shareholders’ meeting!”

As soon as Jiang Yu moved, Jiang Hu was a step quicker than her and stopped her. Jiang Yu wanted to resist, but Jiang Hu pinned her down to the conference table easily.

Jiang Yu’s arm was pinned behind her back, but her face was still looking in the direction of the large screen.

A figure suddenly appeared in that originally empty place. The person was short and very thin.

The video quality on the monitor was not very crisp, but it was enough for people to tell who the person was. It was Shi Wei, the eldest daughter of the Shi family.

What was she doing sneaking around the hospital?

Soon, the picture cut to a ward instead. Everyone saw it and saw that it was Shi Yunsheng’s ward.

What was Shi Wei doing in Shi Yunsheng’s ward?

They soon found out. Although there was no audio in the video, they could see that Shi Wei seemed to have said something. Then, Shi Yunsheng began to grow agitated. After a long time passed, Shi Wei left the ward, and Shi Yunsheng started to feel uncomfortable. It was not long before his breath stopped.

“Oh, God!”

Shi Jingzheng was also shocked. He never expected it to be Shi Wei.

Shi Nuan did not know about this video either, so when she saw it, she clenched her fists. “It was Shi Wei. She made Granddad so angry he was hospitalized, and then she made him so angry that he passed away?”

“Mrs. Fu, please continue watching.” Zhou Zheng motioned for Shi Nuan not to get agitated. Her body was shaking with anger. She was absolutely furious.

Even Shen Shixiu, who was sitting beside her, felt that. He reached out to hold her hand and shook his head slightly.

When Shi Nuan felt the warmth coming from the back of her hand, she raised her head to see Shen Shixiu looking at her. Her gaze was a little complicated, and her eyes reddened as well. “Uncle Shixiu!”

In Shi Nuan’s heart, Shen Shixiu was Shi Yu at that moment. He was the Shi Yu she loved to cling to when she was a child. Currently, Shi Nuan was at her most vulnerable state. She did not care about anything else.

Shen Shixiu sighed. “People can’t come back from the dead.”

“But Granddad didn’t die a natural death. It was premeditated; it was murder!” Shi Nuan could not help but lose control.

Jiang Yu was provoked by Shi Nuan’s words and tried to get up, but Jiang Hu pinned her down fiercely so that she could not move a muscle. He said, “Behave!”

“No, Wei didn’t kill anyone. It was that damn old man who…”

“What did you say?” Shi Jingzheng suddenly snapped back to his senses, especially after he heard Jiang Yu’s remarks and saw the scene on the video.

He grabbed Jiang Yu’s neck. “You knew about this already, didn’t you? You knew that Wei angered Dad to death?”

Jiang Yu coughed. “Zheng, let go of me. You… Wei didn’t do it on purpose. Her anger just got the better of her. She was angry that he was biased. Zheng, you…”

“You’re shameless!” Shi Jingzheng slapped her across the face. “She was angry, so she killed him? He was my dad! He was my biological dad!” Although Shi Jingzheng was disgraceful himself, he was nowhere near that shameless.

I never thought that Father died not because of an illness, but because my very own daughter angered him to death. How am I supposed to accept this?

“There’s no rush, Mr. Shi. There’s still more to come.”

Then, the image cut to another place. Shi Wei walked to a dark corner and seemed to be meeting someone. However, that person was very cautious, so his face was not captured by the camera. They could only vaguely tell that it was a tall man.

In the video, Shi Wei seemed to be saying something to the man. After talking for a while, she turned around with a ruthless smile on her face. There was no panic or fear to speak of. No one could tell that she had just killed a person.

Thus, the excuses Jiang Yu used earlier were not valid.

Then, the video transitioned to a different scene again. It was back at Old Master Shi’s ward. This time, the person who came in was Jiang Yu. She seemed to be observing something. After a long time, she left after seemingly confirming something. Although there was panic in her expression, there was no fear or guilt.

Shi Nuan clenched her fists. So, Granddad’s death was really caused by Shi Wei, and Jiang Yu covered up for her? There was that mysterious man too.

“No, that’s impossible. This is all fake. Shi Nuan, what are you up to? How could you make a fake video in order to frame us? You’ll be struck by lightning!”

“Me? Struck by lightning?” Shi Nuan stood up. At that moment, she no longer had any feelings for Jiang Yu. “You all killed Granddad. How dare you push that crime to others with such impunity? When you went to his ward that night to see him, didn’t you feel guilty? Didn’t you feel scared? Did you not have nightmares when you sleep at night? You murderers!”

Shi Nuan’s eyes reddened. She only came to Huancheng that day for the shareholders’ meeting. Prior to that, she had no idea that something like that actually happened.

She clenched her fists, feeling her emotions spiral out of control.

“Nuan!” Shen Shixiu stood up and put his hands on Shi Nuan’s shoulders. “Calm down.”

Shi Nuan’s body trembled. She could not hold back anymore and threw her arms around Shen Shixiu, hugging him. “Uncle Shixiu.”

When I encountered any problems when I was young, it was always Uncle Shixiu who took care of me and helped me solve them. I still remember when I was a child and acted spoiled around him. He would call me Nuan helplessly.

Now, when she was at her weakest, Shen Shixiu was her anchor.

Zhou Zheng and Jiang Hu were stunned to see Shi Nuan and Shen Shixiu like this. Zhou Zheng had a calm temperament, but Jiang Hu did not.

I can’t stand to see Madam running into another man’s embrace. Even though Mr. Fu isn’t around, we’re still here.

Jiang Hu rolled up his sleeves and was just about to go over, but Zhou Zheng stopped him and shook his head lightly.

Shen Shixiu reached out to pat Shi Nuan’s back, saying gently, “Nuan, you’re an adult now. You have to learn to bear it, okay?”

Shi Nuan cried for a while, so she felt much better then. She pushed him away and nodded. “Yeah,” she responded. However, she still felt upset.

Granddad was such a good person. What are Shi Wei and Jiang Yu’s hearts made of? If it’s just because they wanted to get those things, they could’ve spoken to me or Granddad. He wouldn’t refuse to give it to them. However, they still chose such a method.

“Jiang Yu, what Shi Wei did was murder, and you’re an accomplice. I’m calling the cops!” As soon as Shi Nuan said that, Jiang Yu seemed to go crazy. “No, Wei didn’t mean to do this. She… It was you! It was your fault. If you hadn’t caused Wei to be unable to get a foothold in the entertainment industry, if you hadn’t caused Wei to… to…” Jiang Yu could not complete her sentence. “If not for a jinx like you, how would my Wei turn out like this?”

“Oh? Is that so?” Zhou Zheng said coldly. “Mrs. Shi, do you still think that your daughter was framed by Madam? In that case, please look at this!”

Zhou Zheng continued to play the video. The image on the screen was of Shi Wei.

It was photos and videos of Shi Wei going in and out of major entertainment establishments. There were also videos of her going to Court Martins and places rich people went to when they wanted to play friskier. Then, there were photos and videos of Shi Wei going to the hospital because she was injured after going to Court Martins.

Shi Wei had gone to all these places alone. In other words, she reaped what she sowed.

“No, that’s all fake. How can they be true? You really did everything you could just to frame Wei. You…”

“Jiang Yu, even now, you still think that we were at fault, and not Shi Wei?” Shi Nuan yelled at Jiang Yu. “You’re hopeless. Look closely. Shi Wei went to all those places by herself. No one forced her to go. If you don’t believe us, you can go to the police and ask them to check if it’s true or not.”
