Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Chapter 157



After two days of recuperation and rest, Cheng Lydia’s body was largely stable and the fetus was in good condition. However, as a precautionary measure, Cheng Lydia continued to stay in hospital on the advice of her doctor.

Despite Cheng Lydia’s declaration that she didn’t want to be bothered by anyone, Shen Ron came to the hospital today.

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Shen Ron was slightly relieved. But still concerned, he asked, “Are you okay?”

Cheng Lydia was originally lying in bed reading a book, and when she saw him enter, as she did, she placed the books on the bedside table and sat up from the bed. Perhaps it was because she had been lying down for too long, her got up with some effort.

Shen Ron scrambled and leaned over to put one arm around her shoulders and one hand to help her put the pillow in place, carefully helping her body to lean back.

“Thanks.” Cheng Lydia smiled lightly at him gratefully and said, “I’m okay, you don’t have to worry.”

In fact, even if Shen Ron didn’t come today, she was going to call him and ask him to stop by.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen.” Shen Ron spoke apologetically, bitterly, “I still can’t figure out why June would do such an affair, it’s really so out of character for her.”

“If you truly love her, you should believe her shouldn’t you?” Cheng Lydia said.

Shen Ron was surprised, sizing her up, “Don’t you hate her at all?”

He thought Cheng Lydia would hate June, after all, it was June who had served her the pigeon soup.

Cheng Lydia laughed and shook her head, “Yang June wouldn’t have made it so obvious if she really wanted to harm me, she would have thought of this outcome before she drugged her, everyone resented her, the old lady would not spare her, and she must have understood that even if she killed my child, she would pay a greater price than me.”

“You have a point, if even you believe her, then what reason do I have to doubt? But now that all the evidence points to her doing it, it would be hard for me to help her even if I wanted to.”

“So you need to investigate the truth properly and clear her name.”

“The soup was made by Zhang Jane and packed by Zhang Jane, so if it’s not June, it’s Zhang Jane.” Shen Ron muttered.

Cheng Lydia laughs bitterly, Shen Belle is really shrewd, after borrowing Yang June’s hand to kill someone, there is still a Zhang Jane behind her to block for her, no one can suspect her, neither can Shen Ron.

She stared at Shen Ron with a serious face and said, “Ron, it’s not easy for you and June to come together, make sure you protect her and pay more attention to the people around you, no one is really worthy of your 100% trust except the old lady.”

“You mean Belle and Little Mother and Zhang Jane?”

“I’m just reminding you to be more aware of the people around you.”

Shen Ron nodded, “I will, and will take good care of June.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

“You be good too.” Shen Ron smiled at her, “Even though the baby is gone, we are still friends, remember to tell me if you run into any difficulties in the future, I will do my best to help you.”

“Yeah, well, thank you in advance.”

The two men were relatively speechless, neither knowing what to say.

Cheng Lydia, as it were, volunteered, “Go pick June up and take her home, and if you can, take her outside for a couple, after all, Shen Mansion is not very safe with all the people.”

“I’ll think about it.” Shen Ron got up from his chair and admonished her, “Get some rest then, I’m off.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Bye.”

Shen Ron turned and headed for the ward door.

Cheng Lydia’s face faded as she watched his departing back, both so reluctantly.

Yet her discomfort was not seen by Shen Ron.

When Yang June put down the phone, Mrs. Yang immediately asked, “What did Shen Ron say to you?”

“He said he’d come over this afternoon to pick me up and take me home.” Yang June held the phone in her hand, thoughtful.

Mrs. Yang sighed with relief and smiled, “So he has forgiven you? And doesn’t suspect you of giving Cheng Lydia the abortifacient?”

“I guess so.” Yang June suddenly lifted her head and looked at Mrs. Yang with a serious face, “Mom, did you ever suspect that the car accident I had back then was man-made?”

Mrs. Yang froze for a moment and instinctively asked, “What do you mean? Why do you suddenly ask that?”

“If Shen Belle really was behind the poisoning of me before, the one who killed Ho Gina and drugged my sister, then it’s not impossible to create a car accident on my wedding day.”

“This is murder for life, how dare she?”

Yang June’s face was slightly cold and her tone was mocking, “Didn’t mom also create a car accident back then to enable me to marry Ron, causing her sister … to do so.”

“Yang June!” scolded Mrs. Yang, glaring at her in annoyance.

It’s a taboo subject, one that Mrs. Yang never lets Yang June bring up, which is why she’s so furious when Yang June brings it up.

“Mom.” Yang June said with a straight face, “That incident, even though you went super overboard, don’t worry, I won’t say anything about it because I don’t want to be a child without a mother. But I hope you can promise me that no matter what happens in the future, remember to be nice to your sister, we owe her that.”

“As long as you and Shen Ron are well, I won’t touch her a bit more.” Mrs. Young said.

“My sister has already done this for me, and if I can’t make it right with Shen Ron, it’s between me and Shen Ron and has nothing to do with her.”

“That depends on how she treats Shen Ron.”

“Mom! I don’t want you to be like Shen Belle.”

Mrs. Yang stood up from the sofa and glared at her daughter, “Yang June, what kind of attitude is that? Am I not doing this for your own good?”

Yang June followed suit and got up from the couch, “Mom, you’re not just doing this for me, but for yourself, and I’m doing it for your own good. shen Belle is bound to pay, which is why I don’t want you to become like her.”

“You …!” Mrs. Young was furious.

Yang June stepped forward and took her hand, “Mom, I was worried about you and I didn’t want to ff to you, that’s why I said those things to you. I’m sorry that I upset you again.”

“Mom, you get some rest, I’m leaving.” Yang June let go of her mother’s hand and turned towards the door.

“Where are you going?” Mrs. Young went after her.

“Back to the Shen Mansion.”

“You’re not waiting for Ron to pick you up?”

“No wait, I want to go back first by myself.”

“Why? Aren’t you afraid that old woman will beat you to death?”

“It won’t happen, don’t worry mom.” Yang June patted her hand soothingly.

When Yang June returned to Shen Mansion, the old lady happened to come down from upstairs with Shen Belle, and when she saw her, her face suddenly changed and she scolded her, “What are you doing back here?”

“Grandma, I came back to explain myself to you clearly.” Yang June bowed her head and said.

“What’s there to explain? You’re not trying to tell me that you didn’t give the abortion pill, are you?” The old lady walked to the sofa and sat down with Shen Belle’s help, and Zhang Jane immediately poured her a glass of water.

Yang June went around to the old lady, bent her knees and then knelt down, “Grandma, it really wasn’t me, I swear, please believe me. I did make a mistake, I was the one who sent the pigeon soup to Ms Cheng, but I really didn’t give the medicine.”

While pleading, she swept a resentful gaze at Zhang Jane and said, “Grandma, please make sure you investigate this matter thoroughly and clear my name, I am really innocent.”

Zhang Jane was a little flustered by her resentful gaze, and both also almost dropped their teacups. She said, “Are you doubting me, Young Madam? How could I possibly harm the child in Ms Cheng’s belly?”

“But the pigeon soup is clearly what you packed for me.”

“I packed the bags in front of the group, besides, Ms Cheng is carrying the flesh and blood of The Shen Family, how could I possibly hurt her, Old Madam, I was really wronged.” Zhang Jane turned to the old lady in anxiety.

The old lady spoke impatiently, “Okay, save your breath Yang June, stop passing the buck, what good did Zhang Jane do when she killed Lydia’s baby? You tried to take over the position of the young lady of The Shen Family and killed Lydia’s baby, and you still have the face to come back and bite people? Do you have any shame?”

“I …” Yang June bit her lip and ran away crying.

Shen Belle watched Yang June run up to the second floor before wrapping her arms around the angry old lady and saying in a kind and relieving voice, “Grandma, what June said isn’t unreasonable, it’s better to wait until things are clear.”

“What else is there to find out, isn’t she just trying to get Lydia’s baby killed and secure the position of young lady of The Shen Family for herself?”

“But big brother will definitely be upset again if he sees you talking about sister-in-law like that.”

“How dare he?” The old woman said indignantly, “Lydia is carrying his child.”

“Alright, Grandma you don’t have to be so angry either.” Shen Belle patted her hand, “It’s not worth it to always be at odds with big brother over a woman, take it easy.”

The old lady snorted coldly, how could she be so easily dispelled when she was in the midst of her anger!

Yang June ran back to her bedroom in tears and flopped onto her bed, crying her heart out.

There was a knock at the bedroom door and Shen Belle came in, seeing her crying so hard, she stepped up and sat down next to her, patting her shoulder and soothing her, “Sister-in-law, don’t be sad, Grandma is angry and will inevitably speak harshly, so don’t take it personally with her.”

Yang June just whimpered and didn’t listen to her.

Shen Belle had to continue to comfort, “As long as big brother believes that you are innocent, things will definitely come to light one day, don’t cry.”

Yang June touched a handful of tears on her face and choked up, “Although I also hoped that the child in Cheng Lydia’s belly would not be born, I never wanted to harm her in this way. Why does Grandma refuse to believe me?”

“You shouldn’t blame Grandma, after all, Zhang Jane has been with her for so many years, Grandma must trust her more.”

Yang June rolled out of bed and sat up, taking Shen Belle’s hand and asking worriedly, “Belle, do you think Grandma will really kick me out?”

“No, what Grandma said was angry, and the anger will pass after a while.” Shen Belle patted her hand comfortingly.

“But Grandma just decided it was me, Belle, can you help me talk to Grandma and ask her to believe me, I’ve had a hard time waking up from my coma, a hard time getting together with Ron, I really don’t want to be separated from him, please.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you talk Grandma into it.”

“Really?” Yang June asked gratefully.

“Really.” Shen Belle gave her a small smile, “Then get some rest, I’ll go talk Grandma into watching.”

“Okay, thank you then.”

“You’re welcome, home and family, and I wish everyone well.” Shen Belle said and turned to leave.

In the afternoon Shen Ron returned to Shen Mansion and after greeting the old lady went straight up to the second floor and headed for Yang June’s bedroom.

He pushed open the door and saw Yang June’s dazed back sitting on the window sill, after a sigh of relief, he stepped over and took her into his arms, “Didn’t you say you’d wait for me to pick you up? Why did you come back by yourself?”

Yang June twisted her head to look at him and whispered, “Ron, do you also believe that the baby in Lydia’s belly was killed by me?”

“How could that be.” Shen Ron rubbed her hair and said softly, “If it wasn’t for believing in you, I wouldn’t have gone to pick you up and take you home?”

He sighed and continued, “I’ve been sad for the past two days with the loss of the baby, and seeing that Grandma was angry, that’s why I didn’t go get you back. And Lydia’s right, if you really wanted to harm her child, you wouldn’t be stupid enough to do it in such a direct way.”

“Lydia really said that?” She asked, lifting her head, moved.

Shen Ron nodded, “Well, she was the one who made me not even have that one shred of doubt I had left, and the one who reminded me to pick you up and bring you home.”

“Lydia is such a nice person.”

“You too, you’re both good girls.” Shen Ron said as he gazed at her.

When she heard him say that, Yang June just smiled bitterly, she wasn’t a good girl, not even close to Lydia.

Shen Ron suddenly let go of her and gazed at her with a serious look, “June, I’ve already found a place out there today and we’re moving out this weekend.”

“Move out?” Yang June was surprised.

“Well, there are a lot of people inside the mansion and we don’t know who is good and who is bad, you see Lydia didn’t get hit, and we still don’t know who is actually setting her up, so it’s safer to move out.” His gaze softened and he said with a look of pity, “It’s been so hard for us to get back together, I can’t put you in such a dangerous environment to live in.”

“But …” Yang June’s mouth dropped open.

“What? You don’t want to move out? Don’t want to live as a couple?” Shen Ron scowled at her in surprise.

He thought she would be so happy that she would nod her head in agreement without even thinking about it, not …

“I think we just got together and Grandma would be upset if we just left, she already hates me so much because of Lydia’s miscarriage and I can’t let her hate me even more. And I think living in Shen Mansion is fine and I’m used to it, there’s no need to move out and upset Grandma.”

A life for two with Shen Ron? She could only dream of it, but she couldn’t leave Shen Mansion just yet, she had things to do.

“I’ll go talk to Grandma.”

“Don’t, Ron,” Yang June shook her head with a serious look on her face, “I don’t want you guys to fall out over me, and I want to get things right with Grandma, and I’ll be more careful on my own, really, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

“June, you’re always so thoughtful.” Shen Ron smiled and took a light breath, looked at her and said, “Remember when you were a kid, you talked me into leaving the country every day so I could be strong, even though you obviously didn’t want to, I heard you cried a lot when I left, didn’t you?”

“Ah …” Yang June froze, then nodded, “Yeah, because I can’t leave you alone.”

“So that time you met with Gu William in class because you went to see me?”

“Gu William?” asked Yang June instinctively and rhetorically, then nodded, “It’s … yeah.”

Her reaction was unnatural and sluggish, and Shen Ron sized her up and asked suspiciously, “June, don’t you remember much about the past?”

“Yeah, don’t really remember much, guess my memory’s gone down after four years or so of lying around.” Yang June smiled faintly, “Ron, why don’t we go for a walk?”

Her biggest fear is Shen Ron mentioning the past because she simply can’t cope with it.

Although Cheng Lydia had written down all the bits and pieces of her previous time with Shen Ron in a book for her to memorize, her brain would still go blank whenever Shen Ron mentioned it before she was too busy searching her mind for the answer.

Shen Ron looked at her with that slight feeling in his heart that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong, and he nodded, “Good.”

The two men walked out of the main house and into the back garden.

Yang June was surprised to find that there was actually a back door to the outside in the back garden, and walked over to it as curiously as she could.

“Is it possible to get out of here?” Yang June asked, turning her head to look at Shen Ron.

“Yeah, there’s a trash transfer station out there and the road to the little lake.”

“You mean there’s a small lake out there?” Yang June looked surprised.

Shen Ron smiled faintly, “Just go and see.”

He thinks to himself that Yang June must not know that the small lake is where they first met, where she saved him.

Yang June was bored out of her mind at Shen Mansion these days, and was glad to hear that there was something else out there.

The two walked out the back door together, down a path, and after about two minutes of walking, the small lake came out in front of the two.

“Really yeah, there’s really a lake out front there, is there fish in it? Can we go fishing there together on the weekend?” Yang June asked joyfully.

Shen Ron looked at her with a look of excitement and asked, “You didn’t even forget about this place, did you?”

“Huh?” Yang June was surprised, her brain started to run rapidly, and Fang remembered that Cheng Lydia had written in her book that she and Shen Ron had first met at a lake near Shen Mansion, could it be this lake in front of her?

“Remember, this is where we met, when you foolishly slashed your wrist.” The excitement faded from Yang June’s face as she took his left hand and surveyed the scar on his arm, heartbroken, “That was silly of you, but it’s a good thing I caught it.”

“Yes, it’s a good thing I have you.” Shen Ron hugged her tenderly and stroked her hair, “And it’s a good thing I made a fool of myself once, otherwise how would I have met you and fallen in love with you?”

If she had just met him at the party like other little princesses, he would not have paid much attention to her despite her excellent performance, after all, there were so many guests at the party, and there were certainly not few who were prettier than her and more striking than her.

“There’s no fish here, but I’ll have someone put some in tomorrow, and when they get a little bigger, I’ll go fishing with you every weekend.” He said.

“Good.” She smiled, more melancholy than laughter in her smile.
