737 Hidden Story
Grandma really regretted it. If she had known that Shen Yong was such a cruel and unscrupulous man, she wouldn’t have advised her pregnant daughter to be more considerate of Shen Yong!
“Did not speak?” Shen Hanxing felt her throat was dry. She pa.s.sed a tissue to her grandma in a daze and said in a tense voice, “did mom say why she did not speak with Shen Yong?”
“I’ve asked, but your mother refused to tell me. She looked pale when I asked, saying that she would divorce Shen Yong once she gave birth to you,” Grandma shook her head. “I thought your mother was pregnant and had a lot of emotional ups and downs. I feared it would affect her health, so I didn’t dare to ask more.”
So, before Qiao Wei came to find her, her mother and Shen Yong’s relationship had a problem? Was the relationship problem between the two of them really because of a difference in opinion? Or was it because something had happened that her mother could not tolerate? Her mother said that she wanted to divorce Shen Yong. Was it an impulse in anger, or had she made up her mind? Shen Hanxing clenched her fists. Her long eyelashes drooped, hiding the turbulent emotions in her eyes. “Was the Shen family’s company already big at that time?”
!!“G.o.d is blind!” Grandma, who had always been kind, suddenly became a little cynical and angry. She slammed the table and said, “your mother just pa.s.sed away, and that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Shen Yong married that mistress! The company closed another big deal, and Shen Yong was so proud of himself!” If G.o.d had eyes, how could he let a heartless villain like Shen Yong be proud and thrive in the business world? He had an affair when his wife was pregnant, and not long after his wife died, he let a mistress take over. He even left his wife’s daughter to his elderly mother-in-law. Was this something a person with a conscience would do?
Shen Hanxing’s heart was hammering. Shen Yong said that her mother’s death had helped him achieve his goal. Her grandma said that Shen Yong’s company took on a big job after her mother’s death. However, her mother died because she injured her body during difficult labor. What did it have to do with Shen Yong taking on a big job? The bits and pieces of information seemed to have pieced together an incredible truth. However, the most crucial part of the story was still shrouded in it, and she could not see it clearly. Shen Hanxing’s brows furrowed slightly as her mind spun, but she could not find the most crucial clue.
Thinking back to the darkest days of her life, grandma felt sad and cried. When she received the news of Shen Hanxing’s mother’s death, it was like a bolt of lightning to her, as if the sky had fallen. If it weren’t for the fact that little Shen Hanxing had to rely on her to survive, she might not have had the courage to continue living.
Fortunately, it was all over now. After wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, grandma composed herself and asked Shen Hanxing, “Why are you suddenly asking this?” Shen Hanxing had been a very sensible child since she was young. After she knew what death was, she had never mentioned anything about her mother in front of her, let alone asked her about these painful memories.
“N-Nothing.” Shen Hanxing’s face turned pale. She forced a smile and said, “I’m just asking.” She didn’t want her grandma to worry about her before settling things. Putting down her chopsticks, she hurriedly stood up and said, “grandma, I’m full. I still have something to do at the company. I’ll go out first. I won’t be back for dinner.”
“Sister-in-law, you’re not coming back for dinner tonight?” Holding hands, Ji Qian and Ji Ning walked in from the outside. The two of them had just gone to the garden to look at the vegetable seedlings they had planted with their grandma. When they entered the house and heard Shen Hanxing’s words, their eyes widened, and they looked left and right at Shen Hanxing and her grandma before blurting out, “Grandma, why are your eyes so red? Are you guys crying?” What had happened? Weren’t the grandma and granddaughter fine before they left?
“No, I just touched some chili,” Shen Hanxing smiled to hide her emotion and changed the topic. “I’ve work to do in the company so I might be back a little late.” Perhaps because of the lack of a family when she was young, Shen Hanxing paid a lot of attention to the family’s atmosphere. If it were not necessary, she would rarely miss dinner.
Used to having a lively dinner with the family, Ji Qian said disappointedly, “What a coincidence… Big brother also has a business meeting tonight and will be back very late.” Fortunately, grandma was there. Otherwise, she, Ji Ning, and Ji Mo would have had a tasteless dinner.
“No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health,” Ji Ning pursed her lips and looked at Shen Hanxing carefully, “Eat on time and don’t miss your meals.”
