Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Inside the salon, Chung Grace turned her head and gave Cheng Lydia, whose heart was not in Yuma, a sour look, “Honey, you haven’t had a facial in ages, have you? Give some status while you have time today.”

Cheng Lydia let out a sultry sigh, her face full of sorrow.

Once she got out of the Civic Center, she didn’t know where she was supposed to go; back to the office she was sure to be looking for a scolding, and back home she didn’t know how she was going to face the people of The Shen Family.

“Isn’t it just a piece of land? Shen has the money to buy it anywhere.” Chung Grace said again.

“The point is Shen Ron decided that I deliberately sold the price to someone else.”

“After all that time together, he still doesn’t know who you are, huh?” Chung Grace paused for a moment and asked, “How could he suspect you?”

Cheng Lydia glanced at her in the mirror and hesitated to tell her what had happened. The matter involved Gu William, and if she told that it was Gu William who had peeked at her bid, surely Chung Grace would not like to hear it, right?

Who wants someone they like to be suspected of being a thief?

She shook her head and changed the subject, “Enough about that, let me tell you something.”

“What is it?”

“The other day I met a noblewoman in my mother’s hospital room who claimed to be my mother’s best friend for over twenty years and my Godmother, and she seemed quite concerned about me and my mother.” Cheng Lydia took a light breath and said with a smile, “It’s been a long time since I’ve been cared for that much, and it seems that the Lord is still kind to me.”

“Godmother?” asked Chung Grace, sizing her up with a suspicious look on her face.

Cheng Lydia nodded, “Well, she also told me a lot about my parents, and as I suspected, my parents divorced a long time ago. She also told me that if I couldn’t live with Shen Ron anymore, I would get a divorce and she would take care of me.”

“Why do I get the feeling it’s not that simple?” Chung Grace thought about it, “If she was really that close to your mom and your Godmother, why hasn’t she come to you in the last five years?”

“She thinks I’ve gone back home with Mom.”

“You can get in touch even back home, if it’s really as good as she says it is with you guys, five years without hearing from you mother and daughter, and she doesn’t even miss it, no doubt?”

“She said she only recently thought of us, so she came looking.”

“That’s a bit too cold, isn’t it? Could it be a scammer?”

Cheng Lydia lost her smile, “What is she lying to me for, I don’t have money or sex for one thing.”

“Also.” Chung Grace picked up a small mirror and looked left and right, “I don’t think this guy is too trustworthy anyway, so watch yourself.”

“Got it.” Cheng Lydia responded, her heart wavering a little, this self-proclaimed Aunt Helen noblewoman appeared too suddenly, but she showed no behavior like a liar at all, she even shed tears at her mother’s bedside that day, the tears couldn’t be fake, right?

Besides, she really didn’t have anything to trick her with did she?

It was early in the morning when Shen Ron returned and the group had gone to bed.

Cheng Lydia, who had been harboring a guilty conscience, could not sleep. When she saw him coming back, she unconsciously straightened up and was about to say hello when Shen Ron dove into the bathroom, followed by the sound of water running.

After showering, Shen Ron pulled a coat from inside his closet, walked over to the couch and fell back to sleep.

Since the beginning, his face was as gloomy as a rainy June day.

Cheng Lydia got off the bed and hesitantly walked over to his side, her tone never softer, “Shen Ron, I’m really sorry about today, but I didn’t mean to do it, I didn’t think …”

“I don’t like to hear explanations.” Shen Ron interrupted her coldly.

“But I must explain that it was indeed my fault for losing the price, but I did not deliberately reveal it to Gu William as you think, and I had no reason to do so did I?” Cheng Lydia apologized.

“I said I don’t want to hear it!” Shen Ron’s eyes opened abruptly and stared at her.

“I …” Cheng Lydia’s heart trembled at his cold gaze, biting her red lips, she finally did not give up explaining and said, “I met Gu William in the restroom, at that time, maybe I left in a hurry, and accidentally dropped the file bag in the restroom. When I got to the entrance of the cafe, I realized that the file bag was missing, so I ran all the way back to the restroom and just happened to collide with Gu William who came out from inside. I found him with my file bag in his hand and hurriedly snatched it back, and then you appeared … that’s how it happened, and I shall not be allowed to die if there is any half-truth.”

Cheng Lydia stopped talking and scowled at Shen Ron, whose eyes were shut tight, waiting for a response.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for Shen Ron’s response, she continued as she did, “If it was before I married you instead, you could still suspect that I sold the price to Gu William for money, because at that time I was really short of money and needed it badly. But now that Yahn has waived all my mother’s medical bills, I don’t need much money anymore. And my friendship with Gu William is not such that it can make me make the decision to betray the company. Anyway, you can be angry with me, you can scold me, but I hope you won’t treat me like Chen Hao.”

Shen Ron still didn’t respond, and Cheng Lydia, a little anxious, grabbed him by the corner of his shirt with her hand and tugged, asking carefully, “Ron, are you listening to me?”

There is still silence, continued silence.

“If you’re sleepy, go to bed, I can’t sleep anyway.”

Silence …

“Why don’t I just go face the wall for one night and you take it easy.”

Silence …

“Shen Ron, please say something.” Cheng Lydia continued to tug at his coat.

Finally, someone stopped being silent and grabbed her wrist that was tugging on her coat and threw it to the side with such force that Cheng Lydia was caught off guard and was thrown to the floor by him.

“Ah …!” She exclaimed, half of her body sprawled out on the carpet, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked up at Shen Ron.

Shen Ron sat up from the couch and stared down at Cheng Lydia, who was still sitting on the floor, and spat out through gritted teeth, “Will apologies and face time help? Will that land come back because of this?”

No, indeed, never to return.

But the mistake had been made, and all she wanted to do was express her guilt with an apology.

She sulked up from the ground and hung her head, “I’m sorry.”

“Want me to forgive you? Yes, go get my land back!” Shen Ron sank his body into the couch again and covered himself with his coat.

Get the land back? That’s obviously not going to happen.

Cheng Lydia sighed helplessly and turned back to the bed.

She lay in bed, unable to sleep for a long time, and when she turned her head she could see Shen Ron curled up on the couch.

Unlike last time, last time she could sleep peacefully and go to sleep at once. But tonight, she could not sleep, fearing that he would be cold, that he would catch a cold, that he would not forgive himself …

Shen Ron, however, was truly sleepy, curled up motionless, his breathing gradually becoming even, even as Cheng Lydia pulled the covers over him without feeling them.

At night he had a dream that he and Yang June were walking hand in hand on an open flat area, and Yang June was happy as a little butterfly, pointing to the left and saying that they would build a carousel field on it later, pointing to the right and saying that they would build a Ferris wheel on it, and pointing to the middle and saying that they would build a roller coaster on it. Every weekend I bring my kids over and play until they get tired.

Suddenly the dream shifted and Yang June stomped into the abyss ahead of him, and by the time he caught up with him, he only had time to hear a desperate cry … for help.

Shen Ron sat up suddenly from the couch, cold sweat breaking out.

It turned out to be a bad dream, only the location of this dream was both so familiar.

Shen Ron wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head with the black of his sleeve, a heart still pounding. He looked down to see the covers on himself and twisted his head to look at the king-size bed to find Cheng Lydia curled up in a ball under his coat.

A cold grunt of disdain spilled from his mouth as Shen Ron lifted the covers and stood up from the couch, heading for the bedroom door without looking back.

Don’t think that giving him the covers will erase the sins she committed today, it’s not that cheap!

It was really cold on such a cold day with just a coat over it, so cold that Cheng Lydia stayed up all night.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen it when Shen Ron had just woken up from the couch, she just hadn’t shown it. She sat up from her bed in a ghostly manner, her eyes looking through the floor-to-ceiling window at the light on in Yang June’s bedroom.

Shen Ron … What exactly did he dream about? Did he dream about Yang June?

Sitting in front of Yang June’s bed, Shen Ron took her slim little hand and gazed steadily at her sleeping face.

He wondered why he had a dream like that, was it a sign that his June would soon leave him for a place he couldn’t get to?

And what did the last desperate cry for help she had left him mean?

He took her small hand and dropped a soft kiss with his red lips against it, a teardrop rolled down from his eye to the back of her hand, his tone filled with pain, “June, I want to save you too, but there’s really nothing I can do.”

The one just now was not only part of his dream, but also part of the memory.

Fourteen years ago, before the bidding for the land on the west side of town had begun, he and Yang June, who was only ten years old, drove by there, and Yang June said she wanted to get out of the car and walk around. He followed her, listening to her with a cheerful face as she planned how to make the vacant lot a playground, but there was no abyss there, and Yang June didn’t fall off, and he mentally remembered her pie-in-the-sky fantasies.

He vowed in the back of his mind that when the bidding for this land started, he would bid it down and build it into a playground.

Yet today, the land he had been eyeing for fourteen years and was sure to win was snatched up by Gu William.

It’s Yang June’s only dream, and he can’t help her achieve it!
