Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

The old lady raised her hand to block it out and said, “I’ll eat later, you haven’t been back for so many days, I want to talk to you for a while.”

“What does Grandma want to say?”

“Well, I wanted to ask you, are you still going this time back?”

“…” Cheng Lydia was dumbfounded.

She was here today to talk about the divorce, how could she not leave? Did the old lady think that she had decided to move back in? She opened her mouth, almost saying that she wanted to divorce Shen Ron, but once she saw the old lady on the hospital bed, her face white and her lips bloodless, she couldn’t say it again.

If she said the word divorce at this time, would the old lady be so anxious that she would turn her back because of it? If something really happened to the old lady because of her, she would never have peace of mind in her life.

“What? Have you and Ron really decided to move out of Shen Mansion?” The old lady stared at her with emotion, her body trembling with state from anxiety.

Cheng Lydia continues to be dumbfounded.

Just by moving out of Shen Mansion, the old lady was already in such a hurry, so it really didn’t seem like today was the right day to talk about divorce.

The old lady suddenly sighed sorrowfully, with a look of impatience and pain, “Forget it, as long as you can be well, move out, so be it, but remember to come back and visit grandma often.”

Cheng Lydia nodded, softly promising, “We will.”

“Then I’m relieved.” The old woman patted her hand gratefully, “Lydia, you’re a good kid, no wonder Ron fell in love with you.”

“Grandma, what are you talking about, Ron he doesn’t love me.”

“No love?” The old woman lost her smile, “Silly boy, no wonder you don’t feel it, even Ron himself didn’t realize he was in love with you. As the saying goes, the onlooker can see, and I, the onlooker, can see better than you all.”

The old lady smiled and continued, “He went out of his way to contradict me in order to move out and live alone with you, and even promised me to send Yang June away, so if he didn’t love you, how would he be willing to do that for you?”

“Well, old lady, eat some food first before it gets cold.” Cheng Lydia resumed serving the meal.

Instead, the old woman stared, her pale face covered with pleading, “Promise me you’ll be good with Ron, live a good life, look inside him, get to know him a little better.”

“Grandma …”

“The boy has suffered since he was a child, his mother left when he was a teenager and his father was only concerned with being a womanizer outside and not caring about him, if it wasn’t for me, he would have become who knows what. It’s because he had such a father, and saw so many women who were hurt because of his father, that he swore in his heart that he would never grow up to be as philandering and irresponsible as he was.”

Is that why he can be so dedicated?

Is this the reason why his heart decided on Yang June and he couldn’t let go?

Such men are rare indeed.

“Trust me, one day he’ll put that devotion on you.”

“Grandma, I’ll get to know him well.” Cheng Lydia spooned rice and vegetables to the old woman’s mouth and smiled, “Let’s eat first.”

The old lady opened her mouth to catch it.

Cheng Lydia thought for a moment, stared up at her and asked, “Grandma, can I ask you a question?”

“Sure, ask away.”

“Do I really look like Ms. Yang … in every way?” Cheng Lydia asked hesitantly.

It was a question she’d always wondered about, the look-alike she’d seen herself, but Shen Ron said the two were also very much alike in every aspect of their personalities, which was quite unbelievable to her.

The old lady obviously didn’t expect her to ask this question, and after being slightly surprised, she thought about it again in deep thought before shaking her head, “Other than looking alike, I don’t see any similarities in anything else.”

“But …” The old lady followed up with, “I’ve only met her twice in total, the first time was on Shen Ron’s 14th birthday when Yang June followed her parents over to his birthday party, I didn’t have too much contact with her then, but I remember her because there was a little hiccup at the party where she was caught by Belle and ran back to the lounge in tears . She somehow managed to run to the nearby lake and coincidentally saved Ron who was slitting his wrists, and didn’t hesitate to tear up his expensive dress to help him bandage his wounds. The second time I saw her was four years ago, the first thing Ron did when he came back from studying abroad was to propose to the Yang family, and I accompanied him there.

“She’s not as decisive as you are, not as strong as you are, and not as individual as you are. I talked to her alone for about ten minutes on the day of the proposal, and I felt that she was rather timid and fearful, not very opinionated, but very polite, and I still liked it when I looked at it.”

“A well-behaved girl is better suited to be the daughter-in-law of a mansion.” Cheng Lydia smiled lightly.

The old lady was busy saying, “No, really, I prefer one like you, you’re fit to be Ron’s mate, someone who shares his pains and sufferings together. Whereas June is fit to be a lover, the little woman who is kept close under the wing of a man.”

“Thank you, Grandma, for your confidence.”

Yes, she had never been a woman who liked to be protected by a man, nor had she ever been heartily protected by a man in all her years, except for a time by Lim Toby.

Men that will always only bring her harm.

Maybe that’s why she gradually became strong, strong enough to protect herself until she did.

In the days to come, she would never choose to be a little woman dependent on a man either.

Coming out of Shen Mansion, Cheng Lydia was in a warm sun, walking alone in silence.

She came to talk about divorce, how did it come to this when she hadn’t even mentioned the word divorce in all this time?

She squeezed her phone tightly in her palm, hesitating to dial Chung Grace’s number, daring to imagine how annoyed Chung Grace would be if she knew she had been inside for so long without saying a word about the ‘divorce’.

Inside the mansion, Cheng Lydia had just left when the old lady rolled out of bed immediately, stretching her legs and twisting her waist while smiling, “I’m exhausted from lying in bed all morning.”

“Would you like to wipe the powder off your face, old lady?” Zhang Jane asked as she stood beside her with a basin of hot water.

“Yes, of course.”

Zhang Jane wrung hot towels for the old lady, who took them, still in a good mood and with a smile on her brow, “Do you think Lydia will change her mind over this?”

“The old lady’s bitterness has been used to this point, and I think the young lady will change her mind.”

“Well, the boy is kind, surely she won’t care if I live or die, hey … I just like her nature.”

Zhang Jane hung her head, embarrassment showing in her eyes.

Knowing that Cheng Lydia was coming over today to talk divorce, the old lady thought about her response all night and finally opted for her best trick – the bitter one!

To make herself look more like a sick person, she had a fancy makeup artist come over to help her put on such a zombie sick face.

And she bets on Cheng Lydia’s kind heart, and to her surprise, Cheng Lydia actually does get bluffed by her.

The old lady wiped the powder off her face, turned her head and swept a glance at Zhang Jane and said, “Amy’s girl did a good job too, remember to give her a double bonus at the end of the month.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, old lady.”

“By the way, send Amy to serve Ron and Lydia at the Xingtai residence.”

“Good.”

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you sulking?” The old lady walked over and surveyed the sullen-looking Zhang Jane, then patted her hand and said with a smile, “I’ve accomplished a great thing today, aren’t you happy for me at all?”

“I …” Zhang Jane raised her eyes to look at the old lady, the mist of tears attacked her eyes, then both knees bent and fell to the ground and cried out in pain, “Old lady, you scold me, throw me out …”

“What’s wrong? Is this?”

“I know that old madam’s heart is actually as clear as a mirror, she saw early on that Gina was secretly in love with the young master, and also guessed early on that the poison was laid by Gina, I didn’t believe at first that Gina had the guts to do so. But old madam is right, young madam is so kind and forgiving, how could she do such a thing as poisoning.”

Zhang Jane wiped a tear from her eye with her sleeve and continued to choke up, “It was my failure to discipline Gina, to make her recognize her identity and do such hurtful things. If it wasn’t for her, Young Master and Young Madam wouldn’t have reached such a point of divorce, let alone clamoring to stand to move out. Old Madam’s kindness has been engraved in my heart long ago, so no matter how you punish us mother and daughter, I won’t blame you.”

The old lady looked at her with a remorseful face and smiled indifferently, “It’s all in the past, let’s not mention it.”

“Old Lady … the more forgiving you are will only make me more ashamed.” Zhang Jane paused and stared up at her, “Why don’t you help her get a degree abroad, Old Lady, and send her away, as far away as possible.”

The old lady lost her smile, “Don’t you know your daughter well? When she was asked to go to college in An City she didn’t even want to, she had to stay in LS City, she couldn’t let Ron go.”

“I’ll talk her into it.”

“Good for you.” The old lady leaned down and picked her up from the ground, smiling, “Don’t blame yourself too much, things weren’t as bad as you thought, it was even considered a blessing in disguise.”

“The Old Lady …”

“Ron has felt guilty about Lydia after such a misunderstanding and has been thinking of ways to make amends, such as trying to get her out of this wrong place to move out and live alone, and I was able to take this opportunity to send Yang June away.”

“But … young master and young lady are gone, won’t you be lonely, old lady?”

Apart from Shen Ron, the family is left with Mrs. Shen and Shen Belle, who in turn are 100% outsiders to the old lady, with no blood Toby connection.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them go for long, on the contrary, Yang June is afraid that once she leaves this time, it will be hard to have an excuse to move back in the future.” The old lady smiled again, her eyes flashing with a shrewd light.

Looking at her, Zhang Jane couldn’t help but feel her heart tighten.

The old lady is so shrewd and calculating that every move she makes is a hidden trap. But her silly daughter still naively thinks that the old lady is just an old man who likes to play cards, listen to music and eat snacks.

If it wasn’t Yang June who was poisoned, but the rest of The Shen Family, I guess the old lady would have had a completely different outcome, right?
