Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Cheng Lena moved her lips with difficulty and sputtered, “Mu …”

“Ron,” Shen Ron recited with a light smile.

Cheng Lydia noticed that her mother’s lips were moving more sharply and her chest was heaving violently, as she seemed to do every time she saw a stranger, and the last time she saw Aunt Helen.

“Mom, what’s wrong with you?” Cheng Lydia worriedly took her raised palm.

Cheng Lena, however, made a concerted effort to wrest her hand from her palm and pointed at Shen Ron.

Cheng Lydia thought she was asking about Shen Ron and smiled, “Didn’t I tell you, your future son-in-law is in a big company and is a LS City native, we met at a friend’s party and it was love at first sight.”

Love at first sight … Shen Ron took a look at Cheng Lydia and really broke it up.

Cheng Lydia felt his gaze and surreptitiously tugged at his shirt with her hand.

Shen Ron was busy saying, “Yeah, we fell in love at first sight at a friend’s party last year, and I was so attracted to Lydia then that I chased her for quite a while before I got her.”

Cheng Lena blinked out tears under her eyes, how could they have fallen in love at first sight at a friend’s party last year? They had known each other for a long time.

Cheng Lydia had told her about her memory loss before, so she was surprised when Cheng Lydia and Shen Ron appeared together. Now that she hears them say something that doesn’t match the truth at all, she guesses that Cheng Lydia must have forgotten her past and Shen Ron only thinks of her as Cheng Lydia, not Yang June.

She doesn’t know what all this is about, how Cheng Lydia got together with Shen Ron and where Yang June went, but one thing she’s sure of is that Shen Ron doesn’t know Cheng Lydia’s true identity.

She had a stomach full of questions she wanted to ask, but couldn’t get a single one out.

She raised her hand and beckoned to Shen Ron.

Cheng Lydia stood up straight and uncomfortably said to Shen Ron, “My mom wants to talk to you.”

She expected Shen Ron to frown in disgust, but to her surprise, Shen Ron acted so faithfully and dutifully that he didn’t avoid taking her hand over Cheng Lena’s palm and leaned down to smile at her, “What did auntie want to tell me?”

Cheng Lena took a hard breath and said with all the effort she could muster, “Little … painting …”

She couldn’t say any more than that.

“What’s wrong with Lydia?” Shen Ron smiled, “Is Auntie trying to say that Lydia is a good girl? That I should love her well? Take good care of her?”

Cheng Lena nodded.

Shen Ron graciously agreed: “Don’t worry, Auntie, I will love Lydia with all my heart.”

Cheng Lena then shook her head again and waved at him, and Shen Ron complied, pressing his ear into her mouth. She licked her dry lips and rejoined, “The little … painting … only … is… …”

Due to overexertion, Cheng Lena coughed violently, coughing up and down.

For the first time since she had woken up, she had uttered such a long sentence, and the four words that had taken almost all of her vitality sounded confusingly unintelligible to Shen Ron’s ears.

“Mom, stop talking for a second.” Cheng Lydia was busy stepping forward to smooth her mother’s violently heaving chest with her hand.

Cheng Lena, however, completely disobeyed, her eyes still fixed on Shen Ron with a deadly gaze and kept waving at him.

Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia joined together to discourage, “Yes, Auntie has something to say when she is better, I will see you again.”

Cheng Lena shook her head, unyielding.

Cheng Lydia put on a deliberately threatening face, “Mom, you’ll scare people away from Ron.”

Cheng Lena was in rare stubbornness, not listening at all, and tears of anxiety were coming down her face.

Seeing this, the calm Shen Ron was also not calm and whispered to Cheng Lydia, “I think, it’s better for me to leave.”

“Yes, please call the attending doctor for me.” Cheng Lydia hugged an excited Cheng Lena.

The attending doctor came over and gave Cheng Lena a quick shot of Valium before Cheng Lena gradually calmed down and fell asleep.

The attending doctor snapped, “Didn’t I tell you? You can’t let the patient’s mood swing too much, or it will easily backfire.”

“I know, to keep the patient in a happy mood.”

“Good to know.” The attending doctor left.

“I’ll keep an eye on it now.” Cheng Lydia apologized, rushing to the doctor’s departing back.

She certainly knew the need to keep her mother cheerful, which was why she had asked Shen Ron to come over on this trip, not realizing that things would turn out this way.

Cheng Lena fell asleep and probably won’t even wake up tonight.

Cheng Lydia walks down the empty corridor, not knowing for a moment where to go; Shen Mansion, it seems, is increasingly pointless to return, and the hospital does not allow for staying at her mother’s bedside all night.

She came to the elevator, hesitated for a moment and then pressed the down button.

About half a minute later, the elevator doors opened and the figure of Gu William appeared in front of her in all its glory.

Both were stunned, and it was Gu William who opened his mouth first, “Planning to go home?”

“Well, what brings you here?” Cheng Lydia surveyed him in a suit, obviously fresh out of the office.

“I just finished spending time with a client and happened to be in the neighborhood, as it were, and decided to stop by and see you.” Gu William handed her the food box in his hand, “I bet you didn’t have a good dinner again, did you?”

Cheng Lydia scanned down at the food box in his hand and asked with a smile, “Chestnut pastry?”

“Well, because I don’t know what else you like to eat anymore.” Gu William said that he had never gotten along well with her and hadn’t seen her like any other food except for one peek at her eating a chestnut crisp.

Cheng Lydia took the chestnut crisp gratefully, “Thank you.”

It seems his ‘just’ passing by, ‘just’ happened to be a bit of a stretch, as he bought the same brand of chestnut crisp from this same store during his mother’s last surgery, saying he had traveled halfway across LS City to get it.

Gu William scanned the direction of the hospital room and asked, “Is Auntie feeling better?”

“Better than yesterday the day before, and in good spirits.” Cheng Lydia paused and apologized, “I’m sorry, it’s past visiting hours and … my mom she’s not well enough to see strangers.”

After the incident she had just had, she realized that her mother wasn’t fit to be subjected to too many new things with at this time.

“That’s okay, I was just stopping by to see you.” Gu William said, “Just in time, I’ll give you a ride back.”

Cheng Lydia hesitated for a moment, somewhat embarrassed to brush off the kindness of others, and nodded as she did, “Yes, thank you then.”

Cheng Lydia got into Gu William’s Bugatti, the box of chestnut crisps that Gu William had run halfway across LS City to get for her on both laps, and she sat motionless.

She was still a little uncomfortable in front of Gu William, after all, she was a lone man and a woman.

Gu William twisted his head to look at her and said, “Why don’t you eat?”

Cheng Lydia said, “I’m afraid I’ll get a smell in your car.”

“It’s okay, I’m not that prescriptive.” Gu William said indifferently.

“Then … I’ll be glad to.” Cheng Lydia looked down and untied the plastic bag and removed the lid from the food box, inside was a neatly yarded chestnut crisp.

The pungent aroma came rushing in, still the same one she loved.

She really hadn’t eaten well at dinner because of her mother, and now she immediately felt hungry at the sight of food.

She pinched up a piece and put it in her mouth, then took a second piece, then turned her head and asked him, “It’s delicious, do you want some?”

Gu William gave her a sideways glance and nodded, “Just as well.”

Though he wasn’t hungry at all, he didn’t care to hold up a little fuller if he could eat what she fed him with her own hands.

Cheng Lydia pinched a piece of chestnut pastry into his mouth and smiled, “I don’t think any man would like a snack, I wonder if you’re the same.”

“Do you mean Shen Ron?” He asked.

“Shen Ron really doesn’t like it much either.”

“Before I met you, I never ate either.”

At first he was curious about what was so delicious about the chestnut crisp that it was worth her wolfing it down so much, as it were, and went to try a piece, only to find that it tasted quite good, sweet and fragrant.

Over the years he has not been a big fan of pastry-type food, but whenever a client or friend wanted a snack, he would unconsciously recommend the chestnut pastry.

“Why does it have to do with meeting me again?” Cheng Lydia asked as she picked up a piece and took a bite.

Gu William but smiled, there was much that he could not say at once.

“Here, have another piece.” Cheng Lydia shoved another piece into his mouth.

Along the way, the two of them ate and talked, but they were so happy that they didn’t feel awkward anymore.

When the car drove near The Shen Family, there was just the last piece of chestnut pastry left, and Cheng Lydia raised it in her hand and asked him, “The last piece for you or for me?”

“I’ll eat.” Gu William replied.

Cheng Lydia was surprised and laughed, “I thought you’d be a gentleman and let me eat.”

“What? Regret asking me?”

He could buy her as much as she wanted next time. But the next time he wanted to eat the food she fed him, he didn’t know when or if there would be a chance.

“It’s just a snack, not enough to regret it lah, and I’m full.” Cheng Lydia passed the snack to his mouth, “Here you go.”

“Thanks, I’ll buy you back next time.” Gu William opened his mouth to catch the treat.

And just then, a Bentley car sped past and quickly turned onto The Shen Family’s private road.

Gu William was taken aback, and with a quick movement swerved halfway to the side to avoid going to one side.

It was Shen Ron’s car, and Cheng Lydia only had time to see a rear end disappearing quickly ahead of her, and she wondered if Shen Ron had seen Gu William’s car or if he had seen her with Gu William. But on second thought, Shen Ron was so determined to divorce her that he shouldn’t care who she was with.

As the car pulled up in front of Shen Mansion, Gu William looked sideways at Cheng Lydia and asked, “Will I give you any trouble?”

Cheng Lydia shook her head, “No, after all that’s happened, Shen Ron isn’t as immature as he was before.”

She doesn’t tell Gu William about her agreed divorce from Shen Ron because she doesn’t want it to affect him and Chung Grace. she doesn’t forget what Gu William said the other day that he won’t leave her alone as soon as she divorces Shen Ron.

“Well then, good night.” Gu William leaned over and pushed the car door open for her.

Cheng Lydia, however, did not get out of the car, but stared at him and asked hesitantly, “Have you been in touch with Chung Grace in the last few days?”

In fact, she had wanted to ask this question just now on the road, but she just hadn’t dared to ask it for fear that he would be upset and affect the cordial atmosphere between the two of them.

“She’s back in France and hasn’t been in touch with me.” Gu William smiled ruefully, “I guess she needed some quiet time, that’s why she didn’t contact me.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
