Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Back at The Shen Family, Cheng Lydia took a long nap and slept through the night before being woken up by the sound of cell phone messages.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She grabbed her phone and opened her inbox, the message was from Gu William, a very heartfelt, “Divorce him, I can give you what he can give you, and what he can’t give you, I can give you.”

What would I regret in this life if I had this deep love?

It’s just a shame he showed up so late and at such a bad time.

With her palm jerked away from her heart, Cheng Lydia whipped her head around, only to find Shen Ron lying in bed at some point, and apparently woken by the sound of her message.

Shen Ron tossed the phone back at her and scowled at her mockingly, “What? Seduced by him enough to really want a divorce?”

“Would you agree?” Cheng Lydia looked at him faintly.

“No.”

“That’s it.” Cheng Lydia put her phone back on the desk and turned a back to him.

Shen Ron leaned in uncharacteristically and wrapped his arms around her from behind, his breath brushing between her ears, “You know why I’m so angry?”

“I know.”

“You don’t know that thoroughly enough.” Shen Ron took his own phone from the table on the other side and handed it to her with a few clicks, an intimate photo reflecting into Cheng Lydia’s eyelids. She reached out and took the phone, looking down one by one, a look of surprise gradually appearing on her face.

“When I received these photos in the middle of the night, can you understand how I was feeling? I flew overnight to An Cheng, and as soon as I got off the plane, I saw you guys coming out of the house arm in arm, and I was so angry I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I didn’t sleep all night, and with my anger, I almost used up all my energy during that one hour with you, and even fell asleep on the return flight.” Shen Ron’s slender index finger gently rubbed back and forth in the kiss mark on the nape of her neck, his tone suggestive of explanation.

After returning from Anjo, his anger subsided considerably and he began to realize his impulsive and animalistic behavior.

Yes, the words about not interfering with each other’s private lives were his, and the words about setting her free once the baby was born were his, and Cheng Lydia’s actions were within the bounds of his permission. Not only did he selfishly put a stop to her dealings with Gu William, he wrongly accused her of deliberately revealing the bottom line to Gu William.

It does seem a bit selfish of him to impose his hatred of Gu William on her in its entirety by doing so.

Cheng Lydia twisted her head to look at him, her heart felt funny, was he apologizing? The young master Shen was still apologizing to people?

“I can’t get a divorce as long as you don’t nod your head, all the more reason for you to put yourself down so aggressively.” Cheng Lydia tapped the sender on her phone; it was an unknown number with no name.

“Who sent it to you?” She handed the phone back to him.

“I don’t know.”

“It seems there are quite a few people in the world who are looking forward to a divorce between the two of us.” Cheng Lydia smiled mockingly.

She and Gu William had only decided to travel together the night before and didn’t expect the stalker to get the message so quickly and take sneak peeks at her and Gu William throughout the day.

Cheng Lydia swept her suspicious gaze to the man behind her as if Shen Ron had read her mind and said, “If I had done it, I would have gotten you back the moment you left LS City, why would I have left you alone for a day and a night?”

That’s true, but who could … be stalking him/her? Who is so not looking forward to being with Shen Ron?

When Assistant Peng told Shen RonGu William had withdrawn his bid, Shen Ron’s first reaction was that Gu William was up to no good again.

And whatever trick Gu William intends to play, it’s certainly aimed at him, there’s no need to question that.

“CEO Shen, I’ve made inquiries with Gu’s people and it’s said that Gu William intended to give the land to Shen.” Assistant Peng said.

“Do you believe he would do that?” Shen Ron asked back with a sneer.

“Seriously at first I didn’t believe it, but then after asking around a lot I did.” Assistant Peng said.

When he first heard the news, he had the same reaction as Shen Ron, which is why he didn’t make a good report to Shen Ron, but only told him after asking around to confirm.

“Gu William will be there for today’s dinner with the vice mayor, and CEO Shen can secretly test his intentions.”

“Hmm.” Shen Ron nodded a little, his handsome brow deepening.

He really wanted this land in the west of the city, but he was more afraid that he would accidentally jump into the deep hole Gu William had specially dug for him.

After what happened with Cheng Lydia, the tensions between him and Gu William, who were already at odds with each other, were even more heated at this point.

He had not forgotten how hard he had wanted Cheng Lydia in front of him, nor had he failed to see the anger and pain he was holding back in his heart at the time, when Gu William, more than ever, must have wanted to kill him with a single shot?

The reason for the small dinner tonight was to thank the group for their help at the last charity dinner, and after meaningfully stating the purpose of his dinner tonight, he began to drink and eat the food.

The banquet lasted until after ten o’clock, when Shen Ron blocked Gu William’s path and stared at him with a mocking expression, “I wonder what kind of tricks Master Gu wants to play this time?”

Gu William stopped and quirked his head with a bemused smile, “Scared? Don’t take over if you’re afraid.”

“…” Shen Ron was gagged by his remark.

And Gu William seemed to enjoy his speechless look, and with a laugh he took a step away, and had just taken two steps when he looked back at him and said, “I wonder if you would believe me if I told you that Cheng Lydia was forced by me to go to An City as a lady’s companion for a day, on condition that you would be given that land in the west of the city to fulfill your dream? ”

“What do you mean?” Shen Ron wrinkled his brow.

“I don’t think you’d believe it either, poor Cheng Lydia, that silly woman was all for you, and you were gracious enough to hurt her like that.” Gu William smiled again blandly and turned back to sail away.

This … is still a surprising piece of news.

Shen Ron stood in stunned silence in the doorway of the body bag room until all the people had dispersed.

What was Gu William talking about, Cheng Lydia being his lover for a day just to help him get this land back?

With the shocking news weighing on his mind, Shen Ron drove the car as fast as he could, and upon returning to The Shen Family, he dropped the car off and walked quickly up to the second floor, barging straight into Cheng Lydia’s bedroom.

Cheng Lydia was changing her clothes when the sudden movement at the door startled her and she turned abruptly.

When she saw a somber-looking Shen Ron, her hanging heart settled down instead, and it was only surprising to her that Shen Ron would walk into the bedroom in a calm manner any day.

Today she was working a hospital shift, leaving early and returning late, barely crossing paths with him, asking herself what part of her hadn’t provoked him.

Instead, Shen Ron walks in, stares at her and asks, “What’s this about your one-day deal with Gu William?”

Cheng Lydia froze, not expecting him to ask that question.

He knew about it? Did Gu William tell him?

She didn’t squeak, and Shen Ron didn’t have the patience to wait for her to squeak slowly, asking again, “You agreed to be his lover for a day in order to help me get that land on the west side of town?”

“Yes, but …”

“Are you doing this to embarrass me?” Shen Ron interrupted her and his anger exploded in this moment, his hands grabbed her shoulders tightly and shook her, while gritting his teeth, “It’s the first time in my life that I’ve relied on a woman to get land, yes, I want the land, but not in this way, and I don’t want to sacrifice anyone, Cheng Lydia, do you understand or not? Huh?”

“That’s your business.” Cheng Lydia, whose shoulders were raw from his pinching, swatted away his palm and said with a straight face, “The ground was lost to me, and all I did was to make up for my mistake, not to sacrifice myself for you.”

She lowered her eyelids, trying to hide the flash of weakness under her eyes.

The truth is that she is doing this partly to make up for her mistake, but more importantly to give Shen Ron and Yang June a chance to live out their dreams. This may be the last time Shen Ron will give for Yang June and she doesn’t want to affect them because of herself.

Inserted into their marriage, she was already a sinner, wasn’t she?

“You didn’t lose the price, so you don’t have to blame yourself.” Shen Ron’s tone softened considerably. It wasn’t that he didn’t see the glimmer of weakness under her eyes, and it wasn’t that he didn’t understand her mind.

He had warned her more than once that she wanted to marry to gain his forgiveness unless she got the land back. Little did he know that she had actually done so, and had gone and begged Gu William.

If he had known beforehand, he would never have allowed her to do it anyway.

He would not impose on her the responsibilities that she should not bear, and he would never ask her to give what she should not give, let alone something like being a Gu William lover.

After hearing him say that, a look of surprise flashed across Cheng Lydia’s face, hadn’t he previously been insisting that she had deliberately revealed the price to Gu William? And decided that she did so to ruin the relationship between him and Yang June, deliberately not allowing Yang June’s final dream to come true.

In fact, even she herself did not know whether the price was lost by herself or not, because she herself did not know whether Gu William had secretly opened her file bag or not.

Shen Ron read her mind and said in a slightly apologetic tone, “I apologize to you for what I said earlier, but I also want to remind you not to take any liberties with anything in the future, especially things like being Gu William’s lover.”

“I only eat, drink and play with you, not sleep with you.” Cheng Lydia argued instinctively.

She still does not want Shen Ron to misunderstand her.

“That’s not allowed either.” Shen Ron declared domineeringly. At the same time, there was some secret sigh in his heart at Gu William’s feelings for Cheng Lydia, who would give up this hard-earned land in order to be with her, even if it was only for one short day.

Shen Ron turned and went into the bathroom and took a hot shower.

When he came out Cheng Lydia was already lying in bed ready for bed, he walked over to her and lifted the covers to press up against her body.

Cheng Lydia, startled by his sudden movement, asked out of breath, “What do you want?”

“And what for? Having a baby, of course.” Shen Ron lifted his handsome face, buried in her chest, and stared at her close up, “This is all a mess because of the lack of children, and the only way my life and yours will truly be peaceful is if we have children.”

But the old lady said that unless she had a child, she would continue to torment him and keep him from living in peace.

“But, didn’t we agree to do this once a month?” Cheng Lydia had more than a little fear in her heart about his closeness, especially after that time at the resort villa.

“Who made your tummy uncomfortable? Otherwise we wouldn’t even have to do it once a month.”

“There’s no rush in this kind of thing.”

“But it’s even less likely to come if there’s no rush.” Shen Ron lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, blocking out the words she was about to say …

Seeing that Shen Ron insisted on taking the land in the west of the city, the old lady finally gave her approval. However, she was not willing to die, but after catching the opportunity, she asked Cheng Lydia for assistance, asking her to help persuade Shen Ron to approach some amusement park.

Cheng Lydia looked at the old lady with a begging face, her mouth promised, but she couldn’t help but laugh bitterly under her heart, would Shen Ron listen to her? This is obviously impossible.

If she really helped the old lady along, Shen Ron would surely mistake her again for being deliberately jealous of Yang June and ruining their relationship.

So, although the old lady tried desperately to arrange for her to go with Shen Ron to see the land, she didn’t talk him out of a single word along the way.

The Mercedes pulled up in front of a sparsely populated flat area and Shen Ron led the way out of the car.

Sitting in the carriage, Cheng Lydia looked around through the glass window, sure she had never been here before, but something about it felt vaguely familiar, as if it had appeared in a dream.

She pushed open the car door and stepped out, the flash of familiarity in her mind growing stronger.

“CEO Shen, it’s all from here to that hill ahead, the place is very square, but one bad thing is that there are still a few families living at this time, each one wants to lionize, I guess I’ve seen too much news about ‘ding-zi’.” Assistant Peng said with a headache on his face.

Shen Ron hooked his lips in disbelief and said, “Privately hijacking state land to fund Toby is already an act of greed, and trying to use it to extort money from entrepreneurs? Such people don’t need to be polite with them.”

“I’m just afraid that if they get impulsive, they’ll follow the example of others and spontaneously combust.”

“If they really want to play like that, then let’s play with them, big deal, lose some money, and when the wind dies down, do what you have to do, no one can stop it.”

Cheng Lydia slyly turned her face sideways and looked at Shen Ron’s oozing cold-blooded side face with a chill in her heart.

No wonder there are rumors that Shen Ron is a domineering, ruthless, cold-blooded and ruthless man in the mall.

“It’s a human life, is it even worse than an ant in the eyes of your entrepreneurs?” She stared at him with an incredulous expression.

Shen Ron swept her off her feet and laughed, “Whether it’s a human life or an ant’s life depends on how they position themselves.”

“You’re still cold-blooded.”

“You just know that now?” Shen Ron grinned wickedly and lifted his hand over her shoulder, “Come on, let’s show you the front.”
