Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

In a few short sentences, Cheng Lydia had probably understood what was going on.

To an angry Shen Ron she soothed, “Don’t blame him, it’s no use blaming.”

Yeah, at this point in time, is blaming him going to solve the problem?

If I had known that, I wouldn’t have asked him for a drink last night even if I was depressed to death, let alone tell him about the divorce today.

There was a knock on the car window outside, Shen Ron held it down and Tom said with a respectful face, “Young master, young lady, the old lady wants you to come back to Shen Mansion.”

The two men’s eyes swept to the other side of the parking lot, where the old woman sat with a grim expression on her end inside the Mercedes.

Shen Ron eased up a little and said to Cheng Lydia, “I’ll take you back to Taianju first, Shen Mansion I’ll be fine on my own.”

“That’s okay, I’ll go with you.”

“You’re no match for Grandma.”

“She has my papers, she always has to get them back doesn’t she?” Cheng Lydia smiled helplessly, “Besides, she must want to see me more now.”

Shen Ron looked at her with a determined face and had to start the car and drive in the direction of Shen Mansion.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

In fact, Cheng Lydia’s heart was not as calm as it appeared, of course she knew she was no match for the old lady, but … she was all alone now, nothing could threaten her anymore couldn’t it?

When the two of them returned to Shen Mansion, the old lady was already sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting. The stern gaze swept over across the room, and Cheng Lydia couldn’t help but be stunned, her heart feeling both weak.

She unconsciously leaned towards Shen Ron’s side, instinctively trying to seek that glimmer of security from him.

Sensing her trepidation, Shen Ron reached out and grabbed her wrist, giving her a silent shot of encouragement.

“Grandma.” Cheng Lydia called down.

“I’d be interested to know who wants the divorce.” The old lady scanned back and forth at the two, her face covered in annoyance.

Cheng Lydia was silent.

Shen Ron calmly replied, “We both want a divorce.”

“Nonsense! Have you asked me?”

“Ask if you can say yes?” Shen Ron asked rhetorically.

“So you guys just snuck off to the Civil Service?”

“What else could we do?”

“You … Shen Ron you shut the hell up!” The old lady chided with a drink and turned to Cheng Lydia in exasperation, “Cheng Lydia, where is the original agreement? You haven’t forgotten all about it already, have you?”

Cheng Lydia shook her head, “I haven’t forgotten.”

“So did you do it?” Old Mrs. Shen said in a deep voice, “I repeatedly promised to find the best experts for your mother from the United States, spent huge amounts of money to research a treatment plan, and the surgery was successful, do you admit to all this?

Cheng Lydia nodded, “I admit it.”

“So what do you think I’ve done that violates the agreement, and you’re going to give it to me now.”

“Grandma didn’t violate the agreement in any way.” Cheng Lydia choked out.

The old lady did everything she needed to do and did it successfully, she was the one who was useless and didn’t take care of her mother.

“Since you think I have completed the agreement, is it now your turn to repeat the agreement?”

The old woman’s remark dumbfounded Cheng Lydia, and about that she was indeed weak-minded.

The old lady added, “After all I’ve done for you, what have you done for us at The Shen Family? If you can name one thing, I’ll let you go right now!”

Cheng Lydia remained mute, yes even one thing she could not say, the fact was that the old lady wanted a great-grandson, but she failed to give her one as agreed, the unreasonable party was her, so even if the old lady beat her severely at this time, she did not dare to have a complaint.

The old lady sneered, “What? You can’t say it, can you? You also know you have done nothing for The Shen Family? And on what basis did you go through with the divorce? On the basis of your untrustworthy words?”

Cheng Lydia bit her lip and didn’t say a word.

Shen Ron, who had been asked to shut up on the side, spoke up and said unkindly, “Grandma, don’t press her, I’m the one who wants to leave.”

“You want to leave? That’s all the more reason I can’t say yes.”

“Why?”

“What else can I do? I want you to be good together.”

“Don’t you just want a great-grandson, Grandma? It doesn’t have to be her, does it?” Shen Ron said blandly, “There are so many women in LS City, who doesn’t?”

“Anyone, you’ll marry one back for me instead.”

Shen Ron gritted his teeth, “Yes, you tell me which daughter you like and I promise to get you back in half a month and marry her, so that’s the total, right?”

He said it seriously, not like he was gagging.

Not only was the old lady surprised, but even Cheng Lydia was amazed.

She looked sideways at the side of his exasperated face, what had he just said? He was willing to marry a woman he didn’t even know yet in half a month in order to divorce her?

How much does he hate her, how much does he hate her? Or is it … how much for her?

“You’d rather marry a woman you’ve never met than divorce Lydia?” The old woman surveyed him as if she were surveying a complete stranger to herself.

“Yes.” Shen Ron agreed with conviction.

“You’re crazy.”

“Just think I’m crazy.” Shen Ron held out his palm at her, “Give us back our papers.”

The old woman swept his outstretched palm and shook her head, “No, I won’t give it back to you.”

“What’s wrong again?”

“Not really.” The old lady stood up from the sofa and sneered at Cheng Lydia, “I Shen Qiao Yujiao never do business that loses money, Ms Cheng you better be able to obediently make good on your promise or else …”

The smile on her face instantly turned sinister, “I can’t do anything to you when others go for your mother, I will get back what you owe me, just you wait and see!”

The old woman threw that down and turned to head back inside.

Shen Ron was busy walking up to stop her in her tracks and frowned, “You better be able to get me out of The Shen Family or I am definitely going to divorce Cheng Lydia.”

“Do you think I wouldn’t dare?” The old lady glared at him viciously, “If you dare to leave, I will absolutely drive you out of The Shen Family, out of Shen, and my Qiao family has plenty of people who can take over your position. I will let you know that stripped of the identity of The Shen Family’s eldest young man, you Shen Ron are just the most ordinary member of the outer central beings.”

“Grandma!” Shen Ron yelled in annoyance.

“I’ll do what I say, just try it.” The old lady threw another sentence at Cheng Lydia: “When Shen Ron becomes a beggar on the street, I’ll see what will happen to your conscience!”

With the old lady gone, there was instant silence inside the living room.

Shen Ron breathed in helplessly and turned to look at Cheng Lydia next to the couch.

The old woman returned to her bedroom and lay down on the sofa with the help of Zhang Jane, closing her eyes and taking a sultry breath.

Zhang Jane made her a cup of tea and then stood quietly to one side.

The old woman rested for a moment and opened her eyes to stare at Zhang Jane, “Why don’t you say something?”

“What does the old lady want to hear from me?” Zhang Jane asked.

The old lady smiled ruefully and said, “You’ve become less talkative since Gina left, you’re blaming me for that, aren’t you?”

“No, you think too much, old lady, I just don’t know what to say.” Zhang Jane bowed her head.

After all, it was her own daughter who died, so even if she had resentment, it was normal. The old lady did not force her to admit it, and sighed ruefully, “The more Ron defends Lydia, the more I can’t let Lydia go, even if I’m resented by the younger two for the rest of my life.”

“It’s not unreasonable for the old lady to think that.” Zhang Jane echoed in response.

The old lady added, “How easy is it to want Ron to like a woman, after this village there is no such store, he is stupid, I can’t follow him to be stupid isn’t it?”

After today’s incident, she believed more conclusively that Shen Ron was in love with Cheng Lydia, otherwise how could he be willing to marry another woman in the shortest possible time in order to give her freedom?

This stupid kid thinks it’s for Cheng Lydia’s own good, but he doesn’t know he’s breaking his own heart!

“The old lady has a point.”

“So you’re for what I’m doing?”

“Whatever you do, old lady, I will support you.”

“Thanks.” The old woman took her hand and patted it, grateful, “It’s enough to have your support.”

Cheng Lydia thought there was at least one small consolation in her mother’s death, and that was that she would never again have to live without dignity, never again have to be a stand-in for another woman, never again have a child for a man who didn’t love her.

But the old lady’s words just now had knocked her hopes down to the bottom so hard that she had to go back to her old self.

After she got out of the Shen Mansion, she just kept running forward, aimlessly all the time.

Tears blurred her vision, a white blur ahead of her, she raised the back of her hand and touched a handful of tears in her eyes before continuing to run on, and without looking, she ran to that lake near Shen Mansion.

Desperate, since she didn’t even think about it, she dove in.

The lake was cold and instantly wrapped around her body like an earthy felt.

Shen Ron, who arrived afterwards, was terrified and busily jumped into the lake after her, fishing her out of the water with one hand, furiously saying, “Cheng Lydia, are you crazy? Do you want to die that badly?”

Cheng Lydia coughs loudly while crying, “Doesn’t she just want to force me to die? Then I will die for her, why did you save me? Do you want to see me being tortured to death by The Shen Family? Do you want to see it that badly?”

There are so many women in the world that the old lady doesn’t want, but she has to be trapped in The Shen Family, isn’t that just to drive her to death and get back at her?

The lake wasn’t deep, but it was bone chillingly cold, and Shen Ron couldn’t help but shiver, his arms tightening around the struggling woman as he said in a rush, “Come up with me first, I promise you you’ll be free soon, and you won’t be tortured to death.”

He feared that if he didn’t get to shore again, everyone would freeze, and then he wouldn’t be able to get up there if he wanted to.

“It’s no use, I owe it to you The Shen Family, she won’t let me go.” Cheng Lydia whimpered, letting the tears and the lake water fall down her cheeks.

Her body was already limp in his arms from the cold, but her hands kept pushing against him, trying to break free of his embrace.
