Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

In the evening, when Shen Ron returned home, it was already after ten o’clock, and he was surprised that Cheng Lydia was not in her bedroom. At this time in the past, Cheng Lydia was either nestled under the covers reading a book or watching TV.

But at this point in time he was bored with even looking at Cheng Lydia more than once, so naturally he didn’t care where she was going. Taking a newly drafted contract out of his briefcase, he turned and headed for the old lady’s bedroom.

Although he was now in charge of Shen, he still needed to ask the old lady’s opinion on many decisions to show his respect for her old man.

The old lady usually starts her break at ten o’clock, and if it weren’t for the fact that this contract was a bit urgent, Shen Ron wouldn’t have bothered her old man so late.

Standing at the door of the old lady’s bedroom, Shen Ron put his ear close to the doorway to listen for movement inside, and if the old lady was asleep, he would come back in the morning.

There was movement in the house, and it was clear that the old lady had not slept.

The old lady’s voice could be faintly heard saying, “… It’s a bit hard to ask Lydia to take this blame for me, do you think she could have run away from home in her grief if she hasn’t come back so late?”

“Don’t worry old lady, I’ve asked Amy, the young lady said when she left this morning that there was a chance she would be on night duty tonight and wouldn’t be back.” Zhang Jane said.

After a pause, Zhang Jane added, “But I see that the Young Master is quite angry this time, and it looks like he has decided that the bid price was revealed to Gu by the Young Lady.”

“What about? Will the two of them keep getting angry like this?”

“This … is really hard to say with the youngest’s personality.” Zhang Jane expressed concern.

The old lady said hesitantly, “Do you think … if the eldest young master knew that the price was deliberately revealed to Gu Andrew by me, would he tear this old bone of mine apart?”

“No, the youngest is so dutiful to you.”

“Well, I don’t think he’d have the guts to do that.” The old woman reassured herself.

Shen Ron’s palm, which had been ready to knock on the door, gradually clenched into a fist, surprise and annoyance hitting him at the same time, his teeth clacking together.

How could he not have expected that it would be the old lady who revealed the price to Gu Andrew, the president of Gu, and without asking much, he knew why the old lady had done so.

Shen Ron was about to slam the door when Zhang Jane, who had heard the commotion, had come over and pulled the panel away.

Seeing Shen Ron in the doorway, Zhang Jane and the old lady were both surprised, a look of weakness crossing their surprised faces at the same time.

“What brings you here, Great … Young Master?” Zhang Jane backed up to the door with her mouth open.

“If I don’t come, how will I know what you’re up to again?” Shen Ron sneered, a sweep of his lingering gaze landing on the old woman.

The gaze was so terrible that the old woman, who was the eldest, couldn’t help but shiver.

“Grandma, I already married Cheng Lydia the way you wanted, why are you still doing this?” Shen Ron rushed a few strides to the old woman’s bed and glared at her condescendingly.

“What do you want?” Old Mrs. Shen raised her face and scanned him, “What kind of a gesture is this? Do you really want to tear down my old bones?”

“I’m the one asking what you want!” Shen Ron was so angry that he could only squeeze his tightly clenched fist even tighter, so tight that he didn’t even feel the pain of his nails sinking into his flesh. Of course he couldn’t do anything to the old lady, he could only endure it, fiercely.

“Shen Ron, do you think you’re an emperor? How many times can a small Shen group provide you with fun? It would take at least a billion or more to build an amusement park, such a big risky investment you didn’t even think of acting on, just to please a dying woman, are you sure you’re not doing this to play Shen out as soon as possible?”

“Like I said, that land west of town is perfect for a playground, and the return on the playground when it’s finished is high, along with …” Shen Ron gritted his teeth, “June is my wife, not a dying woman.”

“Lydia is the one who is your wife!”

“Cheng Lydia is the one you have in mind, not mine! And I’m already married to her, what more do you want?”

“You did marry her home, but don’t think I don’t know how you treat her.” Old Mrs. Shen’s anger was gradually coming up, “Cheng Lydia has been married in for a month, right? But look at her belly, there’s still no news at all.”

Shen Ron looked at her askance and laughed, “So you secretly drugged us?”

He found out about it …

A trace of weakness flashed through Old Madam Shen’s heart, but she quickly covered it up and justified it by saying, “You forced me to do it.”

“Does it have to be news from Cheng Lydia’s belly before you’ll stop?” Shen Ron yelled low in exasperation.

Old Mrs. Shen nodded coldly, “That’s right.”

Seeing that the grandparents and grandsons are getting more and more stalemated, Zhang Jane came up and took Shen Ron’s arm, pulling him towards the door while persuading him, “Young master, don’t argue with the old lady anymore, the old lady is doing this for Shen’s sake and for The Shen Family’s sake … .”

“So unreasonable, she’s trying to drive me to death!” Shen Ron, who had been pulled to the door, twisted his head around and yelled into the house.

Old Mrs. Shen was so angry that she jumped up from the bed and pointed at him, yelling, “Shen Ron, don’t worry, I’ll die before I drive you to death!”

The door to the room was pulled shut by Zhang Jane, finally separating the bickering duo.

Mrs. Shen and Shen Belle were also woken up and were coming out of the house.

“Big brother, what’s wrong with you? Why are you arguing with Grandma?” Shen Belle asked worriedly as she walked up to Shen Ron.

An exasperated Shen Ron, however, pushed her away from him and took off in the direction of the main entrance with a quick stride.

Inside the resort the nights are brightly lit and colorful.

The cool sea breeze poured into her clothes, causing Cheng Lydia to shiver involuntarily, and she paused to pull her coat tighter around her.

Tonight’s yacht party was as lavish as she’d ever seen, but it still couldn’t escape the tackiness of women and booze.

Cheng Lydia had only had two glasses of red wine in total and was a little tipsy at this point.

She knew she was a bad drinker and had to work hard to keep herself sober and try to control herself from losing her temper.

Gu William embraced her shoulders and took her back inside the bedroom of the villa hotel.

Upon entering the bedroom, Cheng Lydia propped one on the prong of the door and gazed at him and smiled, “Thank you, I’d like to go to bed early.”

She looked normal herself, right? Should be normal, she thought.

Gu William sized her up, a little uneasy, “Are you going to be okay on your own?”

“I’m only slightly drunk.” Cheng Lydia continued to smile.

Gu William stared at her for a long time before nodding, “Then get some rest and get up early tomorrow.”

“Of course, I have to rush back to work.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Good night.” After a slight hesitation, Gu William turned to leave her bedroom door, his pace clearly seeping with reluctance.

Cheng Lydia closed the door and then shook off her somewhat groggy head and turned to her closet to pull out a set of robes and head for the bathroom.

Warm water slid over her skin and she closed her eyes, hoping that all was safe when she returned to The Shen Family tomorrow and that her day had not been in vain.

Shen Ron, I’ve done my best for you and Yang June’s dream.

She suddenly felt a little amused, was there a more foolish woman in the world than her? Willing to give herself so and so for her husband and the woman he loved.

In the next bedroom, a short distance from the couch to the floor-to-ceiling window, Gu William paced back and forth as if he couldn’t stop walking.

There was a loss like a hot current flowing through his body, rushing and invading every nerve cord in his body. The woman he loved was next door, he could embrace her couldn’t he? Even if it was just for one short day, one night.

But he politely Say good night to her like a little gentleman, politely withdrawing from her domain.

If he had been a gentleman, he would not have used the excuse of the land to force her to stay with him for a day and a night against her will, and he would not have disturbed her life and spoiled her image in Shen Ron’s mind after he knew she was married to someone else.

Finally, he braked.

Finally, he stepped towards her bedroom.

Gu William stood at the door of Cheng Lydia’s bedroom with an extra glass of honey water for the hangover in his hand. After knocking several times in a row without getting an answer, he pushed the door and walked in.

At this point Cheng Lydia was asleep, lying on the quilt like a kitten, her black hair loose, her features clear, the robe tied tightly around her body, yet still showing a few hints of spring.

She was so sound asleep that she wasn’t even aware of him standing in front of her bed, probably exhausted from a long day of tossing and turning.

“Lydia …” Gu William leaned over and pushed a hand on her arm while Cheng Lydia just gave a low grunt and frowned before going back to sleep.

“Are you that relieved with me?” Gu William smiled lightly and stood brushing her hair, which had fallen over the convergence of her eyes, to one side.

He expected her to deadbolt the door, but he didn’t expect it to open with a twist.

Actually, Cheng Lydia wasn’t worried about him, nor was she defenseless, she was just too drunk and tired to remember to leave the door unlocked.

Gu William carefully lifted her off the quilt, placed her under the covers, tucked her in, and then, lowering his head, gently planted a soft kiss on her bare forehead.

He didn’t end up taking her for himself this night, not willing to give up, and not able to bear it.

Setting the room temperature and turning off the headlights, he just sat motionless in front of Cheng Lydia’s bed, gazing at her quiet sleeping face by the dim light of the wall lamp.

It was a … more desirable way of guarding her body than owning it.

3:00 a. m., bar.

A grim-faced Shen Ron tilted his head and drained his glass of whiskey, then slammed it hard against the opposite wall.

Ye Max yawned and swept a look at the thick layer of glass shards spread under the opposite wall, rolling his eyes in disgust, “Young Master Shen, are you funny? These glasses haven’t offended you.”

“You just drink, and then nag and slam the glass in your face.” Shen Ron gave him an indignant glare.

“I give up my sleep to be here with you to go nuts and you have to smash a cup in my face me? But I’m still going to say it even if you slam the cup in my face.” Ye Max quickly caught one of the cups he threw out and put it back on the table, saying, “Don’t be too busy getting mad, think about it for a second, who would the old lady be doing this for, but for you The Shen Family? Isn’t there any risk in investing in a playground? It’s just that you think so. And about Yang June, are you really going to keep her for the rest of your life? Do you really want to keep her for the rest of your life? Or when you get old, just leave The Shen to Belle’s children? Don’t forget, Belle is not your own sister, passing it on to her is like passing it on to an outsider.”

“So long ago, I don’t want to think about it.”

“It’s because you don’t think about it that the old lady is anxious for you, and is forcing you to do all this. Besides how far away is this problem? In another few decades you won’t even be able to have a baby if you want to.”

“It seems like every time I get you out for a drink, you’re speaking for someone else, it’s so hard to find a confidant to talk to these days.” Shen Ron sighed slyly, his body lazily leaning back against the back of the sofa chair as he closed his eyes and got up.

“I’m helping reason, not relatives.” Ye Max paused and said, “Seriously, I quite sympathize with the old lady, she has worried about Shen all her life, and has managed to bring you up, and when you are old enough to enjoy your blessings, you still have to worry about your affairs. It’s just as well that she can’t get your filial respect and understanding, but she still has to be resented and scolded by you pointing at her nose.”

Shen Ron opened his eyes slyly and looked at him sideways.

Ye Max had been saying that for so long, and it was the only thing that really pierced his heart.

“Why do you say that like it’s all my fault? And it makes me sound so tenacious.”

“It would have been.”

“Forget it, you might as well shut up.” Shen Ron stopped him from going on.

No matter how much Old Mrs. Shen had given to the family, as long as he thought of her forcing him to marry Cheng Lydia in order to hold her great-grandson, and drugging him and Cheng Lydia, even the land in the west of the city was deliberately given away, he was so angry and hateful.

Although he won’t admit it, Yang June is indeed dying, and he just wants to fulfill her last wish before she dies, the last!

Ye Max did shut up, not out of fear of him, but because he was really tired after a long night of persuasion.

It was late at night, and Shen Ron had been drinking, so he was getting sleepy and didn’t even want to move on the couch.

Until … his phone rang.

It was someone sending an MMS over, and he wiped his phone out of his pocket and clicked on his inbox, and when he saw the MMS, his gaze, which was already somber, gradually sank colder, and his expression stiffened in the moment.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Max asked, surveying his gradually grimacing expression.

Shen Ron speeds up the swiping of his phone screen, then hands the phone towards Ye Max and asks with a sneer, “Where do you think this is?”

Ye Max took a look at the phone he handed him| and was instantly stunned that the HD photo displayed on the screen of the phone since it was an intimate photo of Gu William and Cheng Lydia?

Photos include the two walking together on the beach, skiing together, lying hand in hand in the snow, and stepping into a villa hotel together …

“That’s the nice Cheng Lydia you’re talking about,” Shen Ron lifted his lips in a faint smile, the anger in his heart no longer able to be described in words or vented in deeds.

The address on the photo he knew where it was, of course, it was in An City, eight hundred kilometers away.

It turns out that Cheng Lydia had gone out for a day and night to go on vacation with Gu William to An Cheng, and she had the nerve to lie to Amy that she was working the night shift?

Gu William …!

Why the preference for Gu William?

“I’ve always heard that Gu William is a top-notch woman-picker, but I didn’t expect his name to be true, it’s only been a few days and he’s already gotten his sister-in-law.” Ye Max reached out his hand and patted Shen Ron’s shoulder, “I’m sorry for your loss, I’ve expected this outcome.”

Shen Ron played with his phone and said lightly, “What do you think I should do? Pretend to be deaf and dumb? Or rush to An Cheng immediately and kidnap her home?”

“Play deaf and dumb, after all, you’re the one who’s going to make her cheat.” Ye Max shrugged.

“If it was another man I might be able to do it, but it’s Gu William … I can’t!” Shen Ron pranced up from the couch, copied the car keys from the table and took a big stride towards the bar door.

“I take it it’s not just because the other guy is Gu William?” Ye Max’s mocking voice rang out, reaching his ears unobtrusively.

Shen Ron tugged at the corners of his lips in a noncommittal manner, looking like he didn’t bother to talk to him much.
