Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Cheng Lydia wasn’t hopeful when she admitted to the old lady that she would bring Shen Ron out of Yang June’s house, so she was surprised when Shen Ron showed up in her hospital room.

The good grandson she loved with all her heart and soul had pined away a lot in just a few days, and even his pallor was heartbreakingly bad. And all because of a woman, it was really no good at all.

The old woman hid her heart’s surprise well and just looked at him faintly and said, “Figured it out?”

Shen Ron surveyed her, his face equally bland, “Where are you not feeling well?”

“I don’t care if you live or die, so why are you bothering me? Go back to your June’s room and continue to stay there.” Old Mrs. Shen turned her back sideways to him.

Shen Ron, exasperated, gritted her teeth and said, “Would Grandma be so cold if it was Cheng Lydia who was poisoned?”

“You!” Old Mrs. Shen turned around in anger.

“Grandma, don’t get angry, it’s not good for your health.” Cheng Lydia was busy walking up, holding the angry old lady and snapping at Shen Ron, “Are you visiting Grandma or are you here to provoke her, Young Master Shen?”

Shen Ron opened his mouth and eased his tone.

“I’m sorry.” He lowered his head, then quickly raised it again and said to the old woman, “Get well, I’ll keep an eye on the company.”

“Just got here and you’re leaving?” The old woman frowned.

“What are you not going to do, stay and keep arguing with you?”

The old lady finally compromised and sighed, “Stay and talk with grandma for a while.”

Cheng Lydia backed away sagely, warning in a low voice as she passed Shen Ron, “Don’t make Grandma mad, she’s not faking this time.”

After Cheng Lydia left, Shen Ron walked over to the old woman’s bed and sat down, surveying her and asking, “What exactly is wrong with you?” And his voice softened considerably.

“Lydia said it was hypoglycemia, but I know it’s not that simple, I think she’s worried about me being scared of myself.” The old lady stretched out the hand that still had the needle in it and patted the back of his hand with a painful face, “Grandma knows you’re sad inside, but you can’t ruin yourself just because you’re sad, didn’t the doctor say that June will be fine.”

“Let Grandma worry.”

“Of course I’m worried, Grandma hates to feel sorry for you.”

“I am sad that June has done nothing wrong and no one in the mansion likes her or even tries to take her life. I’m even sadder that I thought Cheng Lydia was different from other women, that I had even decided to try to love her and try to spend my life with her, but she tried to kill June, who had only two years to live, for her own selfish reasons, and she couldn’t wait that long?”

“Lydia is indeed different from the others, you have to trust your own vision and not just believe what others say.”

“Or what?” Shen Ron sneered, “I’ve been thinking about that for the past few days, and I’ve suspected Ho Gina, but I’m sure Ho Gina doesn’t have it in her, and I’ve even suspected you, Grandma, because you’ve never liked June, but Grandma loves me so much, how could she bear to break my heart like that?”

“It’s rare that you still have this faith in an old woman like me, forget it, let it go.”

“It can’t just pass.”

“What else do you want?”

“I … don’t know yet.” Shen Ron lowered his eyelids, it wasn’t that he didn’t know, he just didn’t want to irritate the older woman.

“Well, see to it, and try not to make too big a deal out of it.”

Shen Ron nodded his head in response.

Exiting the ward, Shen Ron walked down the long corridor in the direction of the elevator, and as he passed a certain ward, he saw Cheng Lydia treating an elderly woman.

The gentle gesture, the smile of the sun, the soft words of admonition … how to look like a white angel who has landed on the mortal world, how to look like a person who would do poison to people.

“Old lady you take a break, a nurse will be here in an hour to draw blood for a test, don’t eat or drink in the meantime okay?” Cheng Lydia smiled as she collected her medical records.

The old woman nodded her thanks.

Cheng Lydia helped her pull the covers off her body before standing up straight and preparing to leave. When she looked up and saw Shen Ron at the door of the ward, the smile on her face froze and she stepped out.

“Done talking?” She asked as she stood in front of him.

“What’s wrong with Grandma’s health?” Shen Ron answered.

“High blood pressure, high blood sugar, fortunately it was taken to the doctor in time to cause no problems like a stroke.” She didn’t say that it was fortunate that she was there and treated the old lady in time to not cause major problems, because she didn’t want Shen Ron to think she was taking credit.

“But it’s all right now, don’t worry.”

“Hmm.” Shen Ron nodded a little and took a step in the direction of the elevator.

That’s it? Without scolding her? Without insulting her a few times? No divorce to her? That’s not like him, Shen Ron!

“That …” Cheng Lydia called out to him, and when she saw him turn back around, she opened her mouth and said, “Are you okay?”

“It’s not good, so what?”

“…”

The next day, Shen Ron went to work.

Cheng Lydia thought twice and followed suit to Shen’s.

At the regular meeting, Shen Ron flipped through one of the materials, then looked up and said in a serious manner, “I’ve decided to cancel the project of developing a new building with Gu, the budget and planning and the contract can be suspended.”

“It’s Old Lady’s idea to work with Gu, do you want to discuss it with Old Lady before making a decision?” Cheng Lydia was busy but said.

Shen Ron twisted his head and stared at her coldly, “Is it the old lady’s will or yours?”

Cheng Lydia choked at his glare, then said with a serious face, “It was the old lady’s intention.”

“There’s still room for maneuvering if the contract isn’t signed, I’ll communicate with the old lady about this, does anyone have any questions?”

The people inside the conference room shook their heads together.

“Then the meeting is adjourned.” Shen Ron led the way, standing up from within his leather chair and heading for the door of the conference room.

Inside the conference room, Assistant Li of the contract department stared in the direction of the conference room door and muttered, “What’s wrong with CEO Shen? Why does it feel like he’s even colder than before? And he’s lost weight.”

“Shut your big mouth if you don’t want to get fired.” LILY gave her a cross look.

“Assistant Peng, CEO Shen wants you to come to the president’s office.” Alina poked her head in through the conference room door.

“Call me?” Assistant Peng pointed to himself with a look of trepidation.

How does the CEO Shen look scary right now, will the ones named be the ones to get shot? Alina nodded with a sympathetic look on her face, “Yes, you were named for.”

“Secretary Cheng, what do you think it could be?” Assistant Peng turned her attention back to Cheng Lydia.

“I don’t know.” Cheng Lydia shrugged.

She thought Shen Ron would punish her severely, like the time she went to Anjo with Gu William. But Shen Ron didn’t do or say anything except to treat her coldly, as if it was just a matter of time.

Such a Shen Ron is strange and more than a little unsettling.

When Assistant Peng walked into the president’s office, Shen Ron was sitting in his leather chair looking thoughtful, and when he saw him enter, he squared himself up before looking up and saying to him, “You go investigate something for me.”

“What is it?” Assistant Peng put his mind down slightly, it didn’t look like anything bad was waiting for him.

Chung Grace, straw in mouth, lifted her Ken lids to survey Cheng Lydia across the table, and eventually set her cup down to the side with a bemused look, “How big a family is this, and it’s all just like the Golden Bough, and poisoning, and framing, and fighting for favor … tsk. ”

“This is the life of a mansion, you’d better be prepared for it.” Cheng Lydia sighed helplessly, everything that was happening these days was indeed very much like watching a movie and ridiculous.

“An la, my Master Gu doesn’t have one lying around the house, it’s not that complicated.”

“I’ve heard that Gu William’s parents are very conservative and are very particular about the right family, so I’m really afraid you’ll be turned away when the time comes.”

“It’s okay, Master Gu loves me just fine.”

“Well, that’s only if Master Gu truly loves you.”

Here we go again, Chung Grace impatiently changing the subject, “So what are you going to do? Is this just going to take the blame?”

“What else is there to do?” Cheng Lydia looked down and nibbled lightly on the straw with her shellfish teeth, sighing gloomily and lowly, “It’s so hard to have a better relationship with Shen Ron and then this happens and everything goes back to square one.”

It was an outcome she hadn’t expected, and the one she least expected.

But what could she do? With no evidence to clear herself, there was nothing to do but admit her own fate.

“It seems Shen Ron doesn’t even like you one iota or know you one iota, or he wouldn’t have wrongly accused you of poisoning him just by hearing that girl’s one-sided story.”

“Yeah, but anyone who knows me a little won’t believe I did it.” Like old Mrs. Shen, like Jenny, like Amy …

Except for Shen Ron, why just except him?

“Forget it, now that it’s happened, let it go, and don’t you think about it so much.” Chung Grace soothed.

“Shen Ron right now makes people feel terrible.”

“What are you afraid of? Can’t he eat you up?”

He couldn t eat her up, and she wasn t really afraid of him, it was just the way she met like an enemy that made her feel uncomfortable, and the stares of those in the mansion who didn t believe her …

Cheng Lydia lifted her head and her eyes accidentally fell on a familiar figure, Gu William.

Eyelids dropping, she just ignored it and lowered her voice to Chung Grace, “You have an appointment with Master Gu?”

“Yeah, join us for dinner.” Chung Grace picked up her phone and glanced at the time, Gu William should be there at this hour, she turned back as it were to look in the direction of the entrance just in time to see Gu William approaching.

“Hey, there you are.” Chung Grace waved at Gu William and moved a spot inside.

Gu William scanned Cheng Lydia and took a seat on the couch, smiling lightly, “So you have a guest.”

“What a guest, this is my good sister.”

“Oh, that’s right too.” Gu William smiled and took a slow, deliberate sip from the lemonade on the table, ambiguity all around his eyes.

Cheng Lydia got up from her chair and struggled to pull a suitable smile, “I’ll stop being a lightning rod for you guys here and go back first.”

“What the hell, we agreed to have dinner together.” Chung Grace scowled at her.

“I don’t really want to eat western food, so I’d rather go home and eat.”

“We can change to another restaurant.”

“No, don’t bother.”

Chung Grace scowled at her and furrowed her brow, “You don’t have an appetite for food, do you? There’s really no need to be so upset, it’s not like the sky is falling.”

“No … I just want to go back and eat.” Cheng Lydia gave Gu William a quick sweeping glance and smiled at the two before turning and walking away without a backward glance.

“You’ll definitely not be able to eat more when you go back.” Chung Grace’s words were still in her mouth, and Cheng Lydia was already walking out of the Western restaurant.

Watching her back as she walked out of the Western restaurant, Gu William asked in a deliberate tone, “What’s wrong? Did she have a fight with Ron?”

“It’s worse than a fight.” Chung Grace beckoned the price waiter to order, not noticing Gu William’s momentarily flushed face as Gu William almost blurted out, “What’s wrong? What’s happened?”

Chung Grace ordered, handed her menu back to the waiter, turned her head to stare at Gu William and asked, “Did you know that a woman named Yang June is still lying in Shen Ron’s house?”

Why do you mention her?

Gu William nodded, “Got it.”

“Well, it’s that woman, a maid at Shen Mansion who had a crush on Shen Ron poisoned her, Lydia found out, the maid accused her of the crime and put the blame on Lydia, Shen Ron was so angry that he almost strangled Lydia,” Chung Grace took a bite of Chung Grace took a bite of her snack and shook her head to lament, “Poor Lydia, it’s not enough for Shen Ron to take revenge on her, but she is also treated as the murderer of Yang June by everyone in Shen Mansion.

“How’s Yang June doing now?”

“It’s already fine.” Chung Grace surveyed Gu William, who had a solemn expression, and said with a puzzled look, “Aren’t you always the one who hates to hear gossip? Why are you so interested in this matter?”

The solemnity on Gu William’s face withdrew as he shook his head and smiled, “Yang June is an old acquaintance of mine, so I wanted to know if she was okay.”

“Yo, you still know Yang June.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Of course, I even chased her.” Gu William smiled extremely wickedly, the glint of worry for Cheng Lydia under his eyes well hidden by him.

Chung Grace mocked sourly, “That’s a lot of women you’ve gone after.”
