Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

“That’s enough.” Gu William followed up by blocking Chung Grace’s glass, “You do the same, don’t drink too much.”

“For your own good.” Chung Grace dodged his hand.

“That’s right, don’t want your heartless negative sweat in charge.” Gu Ishara demolished her brother on the sidelines, finishing one drink and going to pour the next, finding the bottle already empty and grumbling irritably, “It’s gone again.”

“Waiter …” Chung Grace waved to the waitress.

“Forget it.” Gu Ishara interrupted her, “There’s no point in drinking beer, I’ll buy you a good drink …”

She burped and said with a smug look on her face, “I tell you oh, I have a big collection of good wine at home.”

“Yeah … I want a good drink.”

“Come … back to my house for a drink.” Gu Ishara got up from her chair, “I have a driver waiting outside … now.”

Seeing that Chung Grace was really getting up to go with Gu Ishara, Cheng Lydia was busy pulling her back, “Are you really going to drink the second half?”

“Of course … it’s rare to find a soulmate … with the same illness, so of course I’ll drink.” Chung Grace put her arm around Gu Ishara and the two turned and staggered towards the door.

“I’m coming with you guys.” Cheng Lydia busied herself with catching up.

“It’s not like you’re going to drink, so it’s a bummer to go.” Chung Grace smiled and swept a glance at Gu William, who was scowling and dialing his phone, and smiled ruefully, pushing Cheng Lydia back onto the couch.

Cheng Lydia, not alarmed that Chung Grace’s deliberate departure was to give her a chance to be alone with Gu William, turned to Gu William as she did and said, “They … are.”

“Don’t worry.” Gu William interrupted her, “I’ve called Ishara’s driver and he’s at the door.”

“Oh.” Cheng Lydia put her foot down a little.

Gu William beckoned the waiter for the bill, then got up from the couch, “Come on, let’s go back too.”

The two walked out of the hot pot restaurant together, and Cheng Lydia was going to take a taxi to the taxi stand when Gu William got beside her and said, “Walk with me for a while?”

Cheng Lydia, slightly surprised, looked up at him, “Where’s your car?”

“I came with Hannah in the chauffeur’s car.”

“Oh.” Cheng Lydia thought for a moment, just as she had something she wanted to ask Gu William about his coming to the old lady this morning and lying about wanting to marry her.

The two stepped out of the parking lot together, and because the view wasn’t too good, Cheng Lydia almost tripped on a small step in the curb.

Out of instinct, she clutched Gu William’s sleeve to steady herself.

“Be careful.” Gu William took her small hand in a backhand.

“I’m sorry, I just can’t drink, I get dizzy when I do.” Cheng Lydia apologized, pulling her hand out of his warm palm.

“That’s drunk?” He asked.

“Not really.” Cheng Lydia smiled, slightly drunk wasn’t really drunk, at least her mind was still clear at the moment and she was moving around okay.

The night was misty and neon, and the two just kept walking forward, neither one speaking.

The riverfront road was ahead, and the river breeze with a slight chill greeted us.

Cheng Lydia instinctively pulled the clothes tighter around her body as Gu William’s pained voice came to her ears, “Why don’t we take a taxi back?”

Cheng Lydia looked up at him and asked, “I want to see the river view, is that okay?”

“Aren’t you cold?”

“It’s not cold.”

“Good, let’s go over there and sit down.” Gu William led her towards a stone chair in front of him and took off the coat he was wearing and put it over her, “You can’t get cold when you drink wine Yung, drape yourself well.”

It was a long, soft coat with a fleece lining, and it was warm enough to drape over his body. Only, Cheng Lydia was too embarrassed to ask for his coat, after all, he didn’t have much on.

“Haven’t you been drinking too?” She was looking for a reason to give him his coat back that wouldn’t be so obvious a rejection.

“I’m not like you, I’m usually used to drinking.”

Cheng Lydia had to pull his coat tighter around her body and nod, sighing with it, “I wonder if they’re both still drinking?”

“I think they’re asleep.”

“By the way, Ishara’s fiancé is having a baby with someone else, so why doesn’t she break up with him?” Cheng Lydia had always been at a loss to understand this.

Gu William smiled helplessly, “Magnificent marriages are, for the most part, cruel and hopeless, and she has her difficulties.”

“It’s not like the parents are forcing the marriage again, is it?”

“Right.”

“How pathetic.”

“Yeah, that’s the sad thing about rich people, marriage and school and hobbies … everything has to be for the benefit of the family.”

“And what about you?” Cheng Lydia twisted her head to look at him, “When you proposed to Old Lady Shen to marry me, did you think about how your parents’ side would react?”

Gu William wasn’t surprised to hear her ask that, just smiled lightly.

He already knew about the old lady having just gone to Lydia, he had been told by the old lady herself.

“So what about you? Have you really made up your mind to divorce Shen Ron?”

“Yes.” Cheng Lydia smiled bitterly, “Like you said, the life of the gentry is not a good one, I’m sick of it, and in the future I’ll find an ordinary person who really suits me to live an ordinary life.”

It was her rejection of him, and Gu William certainly heard it.

“What is ordinary for you?” He asks, “Is Shen Ron not ordinary? Aside from that layer of Dukin status, I don’t see anything different about him.”

Cheng Lydia is silent.

Gu William then went on to say, “In a long married life, what is best for you is what you love each other, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“So leaving Shen Ron, can you love a second man?”

Cheng Lydia was surprised, sizing him up, “Is this your way of talking me out of leaving him?”

That’s not like him!

“I just don’t want you to regret it in the future.”

Cheng Lydia sighs softly, “What reason do I have to regret leaving a man who doesn’t love me?”

There might be regrets and nostalgia in the future, but she was sure she wouldn’t regret it.

“What if Shen Ron had you in mind? Would you still leave him?”

“Maybe …”

“You must be thinking about the existence of Yang June again huh?” Gu William interrupted her and turned back to her, gently holding her shoulders with both hands, gazing at her steadily with a low smile, “Don’t be silly, the existence of Yang June is just a pattern, a farce, a flashback. And it was of your own making, in fact all along Shen Ron was more pathetic than you, it was you who made him miserable.”

“What …” Cheng Lydia couldn’t understand what he was saying and asked dully, “Am I too drunk to turn my brain around? Why can’t I understand what you’re saying?”

“Have you never wanted to get those memories back that you lost?” Gu William asked rhetorically.

Cheng Lydia shook her head, “I’ve never felt the need to.”

“That’s why you’re in this fog today.” Gu William paused, he really didn’t want to tell her anything about her past if he could.

Telling her would mean that he could never have her in his life, ever again …

He wasn’t a great man and had thought about being selfish for love, but seeing her so bruised and battered just couldn’t bear to keep hiding it.

Especially not after seeing the old lady this morning.

Time back to this morning.

After recovering from her shock, the old lady scowled at him and asked, “It’s better to tear down ten temples than to destroy one marriage, Ron and Lydia haven’t even divorced yet, do you think it’s appropriate to do that?”

Gu William said nonchalantly and unhurriedly, “Since Shen Ron can’t protect Lydia, let me protect her, I think that’s fine, it’s good for all of us.”

“How do you know Shen Ron can’t protect Lydia?” the old lady Shen said angrily, “What part of what Ron has done so far is not protecting her? Do you think he doesn’t love Lydia? He loves Lydia, he has been in love with Lydia for a long time. He just couldn’t get past the piece of Yang June and felt that he owed Lydia, that’s why he decided to set her free and let her go find a man who really loves her and find a better love.”

The old lady paused and added, “You can only see his cruel side, but not his sincere side. Besides, I can see that Lydia also likes Ron, since they like each other why can’t they be together properly? Is it really going to come to that … point where Ron marries a strange woman back in half a month and Lydia leaves the man she likes to marry a man she doesn’t love?”

The old lady suddenly burst into old tears and stared at Gu William, crying bitterly and begging, “William, it’s not easy to get Ron to like a woman, I beg you to help them, okay? For the sake of Ron’s poor health.”

Gu William wondered, “What’s wrong with Shen Ron’s health?”

The old woman wiped away a tear and said, “Ron’s grandfather and father both died of congenital heart disease, and that little thing Shen Kerwin was genetically predisposed to it, and Dean Feng once said that Ron’s heart didn’t respond well to ultrasound, and although it’s nothing at the moment, I’m worried that sooner or later something will happen to him… …”

“That’s why I was so anxious to force him to marry and have children, I was afraid that after his accident, The Shen Family would really have no successor …” The old lady finished this sentence and gulped away even more.

Gu William doesn’t know if she’s telling the truth or not, if it’s a bitter ploy, but he chooses to make it work anyway.

He chooses to make it work, not out of sympathy for Shen Ron’s potential for a congenital heart condition, but because he is convinced by the words from the old woman’s mouth that they love each other.

If Cheng Lydia is pulled hard from Shen Ron to himself, Cheng Lydia will not be happy, and then he will certainly not be happy either.

This is love, supreme.

“Do you know why Aunt Cheng wanted to see Shen Ron so strongly before she died?” Gu William gently stroked her hair that had been blown by the river breeze and said softly, “I guess she must have wanted to tell Shen Ron that you were the woman that his heart was longing for, that you were the Yang June that he had fallen in love with back then.”

Cheng Lydia stared at him in shock, only to feel the sky begin to spin around her.

She never understood why her mother wanted to see Shen Ron before she died, never did!

And right now, the words coming out of Gu William’s mouth were so shocking that they added to the confusion in her already less-than-clear brain from the alcohol.

“What are you talking about …” She burst into tears of anxiety.

“I said, Yang June is the stand-in, your stand-in.”

“No way. …” Her mouth dropped open and even her breathing became difficult.

“Shen Ron said it was impossible too.” Gu William smiled faintly, “I’ve been afraid to mention it, partly because of a selfish desire to steal you away, and partly because no one would believe it, including you. I suppose every reaction after hearing me out would have dismissed me as the crazy one jealous of you because of love.”

It took half a second for Cheng Lydia to find her voice: “How did you know?”

“It seems you really have forgotten the past quite thoroughly.” Gu William couldn’t help but be poignant.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

For that one memory from years ago.

She forgets, but he never forgets through the years!

That year, LS City, the season of spring blossoms.

Almost all the noble families in LS City received birthday invitations from The Shen Family. The Shen Family’s Jerry son had his first birthday party and no one dared to neglect it, and of course, no one wanted to neglect it.

In the Gu family’s living room, Mrs. Gu threw the invitation in her hand next to the table and scoffed in a disdainful voice, “This old lady Shen is really funny too, her son and daughter-in-law are having a messy divorce and she actually has the heart to throw a birthday party for her grandson.”

Without looking up, Gu Andrew continued flipping through the newspaper in his hand and said, “The old lady started this birthday party because her precious grandson was in a bad mood.”

“How can you be in a good mood when your parents are getting divorced?”

“Yeah, poor kid.”
