Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Chapter 21



Twenty minutes later.

In the cafe’s window seat, Cheng Lydia held a bubbling glass full of white boiling water in both hands, her eyes slightly downcast.

Across from her, Chung Grace s face was changing expressions of surprise, annoyance, disappointment …

“It’s cold, add some open ones for me.” Cheng Lydia said with a light smile as she held the cup in her hand out to her.

Chung Grace gave the still steaming glass of water in her hand a distressed look, “Lydia, don’t do this.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Your hands are burning red.”

Is that so? Cheng Lydia looked down at her hands, they were indeed slightly red, the water in the glass was still hot, but why did she feel so cold, this coldness from the palms of her hands all the way Toby to her heart.

Just now, like a storyteller, she calmly told the tail end of what she had been going through for the past month. She thought it would be easier to talk about it, but that was not the case.

Scars don’t heal by uncovering them one at a time; instead, each uncover hurts, and each one is bloody.

“That woman’s name is Feng Ann, isn’t it? I’m going to waste her right now!” Chung Grace jumped up from the couch with a slap on the table.

She’s still as impulsive and cranky as ever.

Cheng Lydia was busy taking her hand and smiled bitterly, “Right now Lim Toby is just an irrelevant stranger to me, and so is Feng Ann.”

“Look at you, always so condescending.” Chung Grace sat down, wiped a wet eye with the front of her hand and stared at her, “So Shen Ron? Is he good to you?”

“It’s quite nice, look he even gave me the Ferrari.” Cheng Lydia gestured with her jaw at the Ferrari downstairs.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“That Ron, I know a little bit about, is said to be a man of his word, strict and decisive, and in the business world is even more merciless, cold-blooded and ruthless to the point of being outrageous.”

“That’s just what some financial journalists write for attention, it’s not that exaggerated.” Cheng Lydia smiled, and to change the subject, she then added, “Well, let’s not talk about me, let’s talk about you, how is your further study abroad in the past six months?”

“Pretty good, it went well.” Chung Grace picked up her coffee and took a sip, still emotionally drained from what had happened to Cheng Lydia.

“Planning to return home?”

“Hmm.” Chung Grace took another light sip of coffee and stared at her, “I actually had a surprise to tell you about when I came back this time, but I didn’t even dare to get in front of you after what happened to you.”

Cheng Lydia lost her smile, “Come on, I know you can’t help it, just say it.”

“Bugger, people are really heartbroken.”

“Even though my life is a mess, I want you to be happy, and your happiness is my happiness.”

“Then I’ll really say it.”

“Say it.”

Chung Grace’s pretty lips tilted slightly and her happy smile reached her eyes, “This time I met a rich and handsome boyfriend abroad, we basically fell in love at first sight, and he invested a huge amount of money in a movie for me. In other words, I’m going to be the female lead in a big production movie soon!”

“Really?” Cheng Lydia whispered in delight, then thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a scam, is it? There are a lot of rich people who cheat actresses nowadays under the name of investing in film and television.”

“No, he’s the future successor of the Vast Group, unmarried and without a girlfriend, I’ve done some secret research.”

Although Cheng Lydia did not know the future successor of the Hao Han Group, she knew that the Hao Han Group was one of the top real estate companies in China, and it was a match for Shen’s.

“Looks like you were right to choose to go abroad to further your acting studies this time.” Cheng Lydia gave her a warm smile and scowled at her, “It’s not easy for our more discerning Miss Shi to finally find her true love too!”

“He’ll be over later, so remember to give me a reference.” Chung Grace said with a big smile.

“It’s a must.”

Chung Grace is a fashionable and beautiful woman who has always wanted to be in the entertainment industry, but she has been in the industry for four to five years without any success. She decided to go abroad for further studies six months ago and has only returned today.

Six months ago at the airport when they broke up, Chung Grace had taken Cheng Lydia’s hand, with a look of conviction, “Wait for my sister to come back a hit, auntie’s medical bills, hospital bills sister all covered, let Lim Toby as far away as possible to get away! And my mom … she can gamble as much as she likes, sis will no longer be chased by the debt to hide.”

Cheng Lydia was moved to tears by her at the time, although … she didn’t see the big, complicated circle of showbiz, much less Chung Grace, who was fighting alone without a background.

But this is Chung Grace’s dream, and she can only pray silently behind her back that her dream will come true soon.

“Here it comes.” Chung Grace’s joy-filled voice rang out.

Cheng Lydia snapped out of her memories and followed her gaze sideways to the entrance. People were coming and going at the entrance, mostly men, and for a moment she wondered which was the handsome boyfriend Chung Grace had been talking about.

It wasn’t until Chung Grace left her seat and greeted one of the men by wrapping her arms around him like a little bird that Cheng Lydia finally got a good look. Just … how could it be him? She blinked her eyes hard, and yes, the man being wrapped around Chung Grace was the same cold man whose car she had just wrecked.

It’s him? How can Chung Grace’s boyfriend be him …?

“William, this is my good sister Cheng Lydia, the one I told you about.” Chung Grace dragged Gu William to the table and pointed to Cheng Lydia and introduced him with a smile, then added to Cheng Lydia, “Lydia, this is Gu William.”

Cheng Lydia squeezed a small spoon in her hand and gently turned the coffee in her cup, her head tilted as she calmly surveyed the man named Gu William.

Yes, he was handsome, tall, and rich, and a womanizer. She’d just seen the bravado of him spilling a Bugatti to his ex-girlfriend, and had accidentally learned that he’d spent last night at the woman’s place.

“Ms Cheng, hello.” Gu William spoke, looking at her with a wry smile.

“Hello.” Cheng Lydia’s light smile was faintly sarcastic.

Chung Grace looked back and forth at the two men who were reacting strangely, “What? You two know each other?”

“Don’t know.” Cheng Lydia withdrew her eyes from Gu William and took a sip from her coffee.

Gu William only stayed in the cafe for a few moments before claiming to have something to do and left. Looking at Chung Grace, who was filled with happiness and glowing, Cheng Lydia could not bear the blow and did not mention a word about Gu William and the woman. She only reminded with a solemn face, “Grace, men are many-sided, make sure you see every side of them thoroughly.”

“Got it, I’ll keep an eye out.” Chung Grace spat her little tongue at her.

Since they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, Cheng Lydia and Chung Grace had dinner together and went shopping together before heading home.

Chung Grace bought a light blue shirt for Gu William at the Armani counter. Looking at the care she took in picking out the shirt, Cheng Lydia’s heart was saddened by the fact that it seems Chung Grace will not be able to escape from love in the end.

It was after ten o’clock back at The Shen Family, and Cheng Lydia made a point of scanning the garage and didn’t see Shen Ron’s car, which didn’t appear to be back yet.

The first floor living room was quiet, everyone was probably asleep at this hour, Cheng Lydia gingerly went upstairs and took out her pajamas from inside the closet to take a shower.

Warm water poured from the rosette, kissing every inch of her body, closing her eyes and thinking of nothing, enjoying such a comfort in silence.

She thought that by hiding in this little world she would never be disturbed again, but then the bedroom door was pushed open with a rough force.

Cheng Lydia’s eyes opened abruptly and she leaned in to listen to the movement outside, followed by the bathroom door being pushed open and Shen Ron’s figure appearing in front of her.

No warning, rough action.

Cheng Lydia whimpered and quickly pulled the towel from the hanger and wrapped it around her body, glaring at him with annoyance and trepidation.

“Get out!” Cheng Lydia yelled at him in annoyance.

Cheng Lydia’s first thought was that Shen Ron was drunk? He was in a drinking frenzy, because this man was not a very good drinker she had seen, but he didn’t look like it. His gaze was blood red like fire, his expression annoyed, his gaze on her as sharp as a sword, and he looked like he wanted to eat her in one bite.

Cheng Lydia quickly recalled in her mind how she had acted and spoken today and didn’t seem to have offended him, so what was the irritation on his face for?

The water was still running from the rosette, and Cheng Lydia raised her hand to turn off the valve.

Shen Ron’s eyes were burning with irritation, no lust-related thoughts about the half-exposed body in front of him, and he was holding back his anger the moment he rushed in, but finally he couldn’t hold back his glare at her and yelled, “What’s with the car?”

Cheng Lydia dawned on her.

Turns out he was so mad because he saw her wreck the car.

It’s just, it’s just a broken headlight, why get so angry? And also broke into her bathroom, to the 4S shop a delivery original original match for him is also a very small amount of just.

His overreaction annoyed Cheng Lydia, and she walked away from him wrapped in a towel, then turned her head to look at him askance and said blandly, “Since you gave me the car it’s mine, and it’s mine if you wreck it.”

“Who said the car was yours?” Shen Ron chased after her and yanked her arm; Cheng Lydia was caught off guard and the towel he was holding slipped to the ground as he yanked it hard.

“Ah!” Cheng Lydia exclaimed once again, scrambling to pick up the towel on the floor and wrap it around her body to glare at Shen Ron without a smile, “What the hell do you want?”

Shen Ron, whose anger had subsided a little, turned around and turned his back on her, “Go put your clothes back on.”

He didn’t need to tell Cheng Lydia couldn’t wait to get dressed and when she came out, Shen Ron’s anger was only half gone, but his tone remained cold: “Be more careful next time and don’t bump into it.”

“Young Master Shen, I had an accident today, and all you care about is your car but not asking if my people are okay?” Cheng Lydia was speechless.

This man, really, is right up there with Lim Toby, both in the cold-blooded category.

Shen Ron swept her off her feet, “Aren’t you fine?”

But in fact, Cheng Lydia didn’t expect him to care if he lived or died, and it wasn’t surprising that he reacted this way.

“Bring it.” Shen Ron held out his hand at her.

“What?” Cheng Lydia glanced askance at his outstretched palm in disbelief.

“The car keys.”

“Oh, I was going to have Tom deliver it to 4S tomorrow.”

“No, I’ll go.”

“You have to bother running around personally for something so trivial?” Cheng Lydia didn’t understand again.

“Where’s all the nonsense!” Shen Ron choked her impatiently.

Cheng Lydia pointed a gaze at the car keys on the liquor cabinet table, “There they are, take them.”

Saying no more to him, he walked towards the king-size bed and lifted the covers and lay down in it.

Shen Ron copied the car keys from the liquor cabinet, swept his gaze over Cheng Lydia’s back to him, squeezed a cold snort from between his lips, and turned to walk quickly away.

Within a minute, Cheng Lydia heard the sound of the Ferrari’s starting engine fading into the distance.
