Chapter 61
When Cheng Lydia returns home, Shen Ron’s car is already parked in the garden, and she looks up to Yang June’s bedroom, where she can faintly see Shen Ron’s silent figure inside.
She let out a low sigh and ripped her seat belt off the car.
Shen Ron didn’t even come down for dinner, and Cheng Lydia knew he didn’t want to see himself.
The old lady who insisted on being discharged looked at a distraught Cheng Lydia and said in a kind and reassuring voice, “Don’t pay any attention to Ron, he’s been such a worrywart since he was a child.”
Yeah, if you didn’t have a sad and indecisive personality, how could you slit your wrists after your mother left and how could you go on a hunger strike after Yang June was poisoned?
He is a strong and cold man on the outside, but in reality he hides a sad and restless heart.
In the morning, the old lady asked Cheng Lydia where she planned to go to work today.
Cheng Lydia thought about it and said, “Go to the hospital, it’s not a day off.”
“Because Ron was cold to you?”
“No, it’s the hospital that has patients waiting for me to operate.”
“Oh …” The old woman nodded, got up and walked slowly out of the restaurant.
Cheng Lydia took a soft bite of the slice of bread in her hand, a little bitterness in her heart.
Shen Ron didn’t want to see her, so why should she bother him? There were plenty of secretaries in the secretarial department anyway, she wasn’t the one who was missing.
She finished her breakfast and was just wiping her mouth to get up when she unexpectedly heard the old lady’s surprised voice from the living room, “Oh, what’s Master Gu doing here? What a rare guest!”
Cheng Lydia’s hand shook as she squeezed the paper by… Master Gu? Gu William? Come to do what?
The barrage of questions caused her to unconsciously pause in her intention to leave the dining room, and unconsciously speed up her steps out of the dining room and towards the living room.
Gu William always likes to say some false and amazing words, always likes to do some easy to make people suspicious behavior, she is really afraid of him. Today, he actually came to Shen Mansion, what did he want to do?
“Good morning, old lady.” Gu William set the gift in his hand down on the table and smiled like a spring.
The old lady surveyed the gifts on the table and smiled with an ambiguous smile, “Master Gu this is here to deliver Belle’s skin care products? It’s unfortunate that Belle didn’t come back to stay last night.”
“Old madam is just so optimistic so fond of joking.” Gu William chuckled and said, “Only yesterday I heard my father talk about old madam’s health problems, this is a nutritional product for old madam’s body, are you feeling better, old madam?”
“See, the boy just has heart.” The old lady opened her hands with a smile, “Old people always have a little health problem, but it’s good to have Lydia around, so I’ve escaped this.”
“It is good that the old lady is well.” Gu William’s gaze crossed to the old lady’s side and landed on Cheng Lydia, smiling politely at her, “Good day young lady.”
“Hello.” Cheng Lydia smiled a little stiffly.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Just then, Shen Ron’s voice suddenly came from above the spiral staircase, cold and mocking, “Grandma, don’t be touched too soon, his Master Gu is not here to visit you, he is here for someone.”
Shen Ron did not sweep his cold eyes at Cheng Lydia, but Cheng Lydia still had her heart hanging in her throat.
She didn’t know if this someone Shen Ron was talking about meant her or not.
“Ron why do you have to step so cheaply on someone’s piece of mind?” Gu William smiled nonchalantly, “But Ron was half right, I did come for you Ron.”
A cold snort spilled from Shen Ron’s … mouth.
For him? That’s ridiculous!
The old lady said sensibly, “Then you can talk, I happen to have to go out for something.”
Zhang Jane immediately and thoughtfully came up and helped the old lady towards the door.
“I’ll go up and change.” Cheng Lydia also took the excuse to leave the scene.
From the time she left the living room, to the time she stepped up the stairs and onto the second floor, Gu William’s gaze remained on her. It wasn’t until her figure was completely gone that she twisted back to look coldly at Shen Ron and opened the door, “I heard June was poisoned?”
“Heard from who?” Shen Ron walked straight to the couch and sat down, his legs folded gracefully.
Gu William didn’t feel the need to waste time answering his question, and asked, “I heard you also believed the little servant that Cheng Lydia had poisoned him?”
Shen Ron let out another snort and twisted his head to look askance at him, “I’m curious, Master Gu are you here today to seek justice for June or for Cheng Lydia?”
“They’re both innocent.”
“You trust Cheng Lydia that much?
“Just by what I know about her character.”
“That’s a big mouthful.” Shen Ron took the cup of tea from Amy and took a slow, light sip.
“As far as I know, the poison June was poisoned with is something you can’t find domestically, only in the Japanese underground trading centers, and with Cheng Tian being socially simple and not having that much money on her, she couldn’t get that poison at all. Surely you can think of all this, I’m better off in Japan than you are, and I can help you get to the bottom of this if you need me to.” Gu William stared at him, his face a little less flippant than usual.
It was obvious that he was serious about this.
“Thank you for your kind words, but no, I’m not doing too badly in Japan.”
“Just don’t be a hero.” Gu William was slightly annoyed.
“Master Gu if there is nothing else, then please go back.” Shen Ron unceremoniously gave the eviction order.
“Don’t you want justice for June at all?”
“Master Gu looks like he wants it more than I do?” He asked rhetorically.
Gu William stopped talking and gritted his teeth as he stared at his elegant profile, turned and headed for the door.
“Master Gu is shedding just like that?” Shen Ron asked with a sudden grin the moment he was about to walk out of the house.
Gu William stopped and twisted his head, “Or what?”
“I thought you’d ask me to let you meet June, after all, coming all this way to make a special trip.” Shen Ron flattened his legs and got up and took a few steps in the direction of the door, smiling at him askance.
In all these years, Gu William had never set foot in The Shen Family, yet he came here on the day of Yang June’s poisoning. If he hadn’t wanted to see her, why would he have come early in the morning under the pressure of being insulted by him?
He said that, in turn, making Gu William feel a little uncomfortable from it, and he looked away slightly, his tone cold, “No need.”
“That’s not like you.” There was some slight disbelief in Shen Ron’s mind, yes, it wasn’t like Gu William’s personality, with his fondness for June, he wouldn’t even be able to just leave.
“People do change.” Gu William finished that sentence, swept a glance in the direction of the spiral stairway entrance on the second floor, and turned to walk out.
Upstairs, Cheng Lydia’s hanging heart was finally relieved that Gu William, the time bomb, was gone, finally.
People do change. …
What did that mean? Shen Ron watched his departing back and wrinkled his brow.
He turned and looked askance out of the corner of his eye at Cheng Lydia who was slowly descending the spiral staircase and taunted, “Does he mean that he has changed, no longer loving June to loving you? And he’s not here for June today, but for you?”
Is that right? Is that right?
How could she know what Gu William had in mind?
Cheng Lydia curved her lips, “A bad woman with a hot temper who doesn’t know how to please men and viciously poisons others, a nasty woman that you Ron find tiresome even if you take one more look at her, where does she get the charm to attract a LS City first class prince? Master Gu is willing to take one more look at me, just like Ron, like you, because I have a face like Ms. Yang’s and can relieve the pain of longing in your hearts …”
“That’s enough!” Shen Ron interrupted her with boredom, “You can’t see the end of the story when anyone with a clear eye can?”
“No sense in that!” Cheng Lydia stepped away from him.
Shen Ron yanked her back with a quick hand, his cold eyes meeting hers, “I don’t give a damn about you and him, but let me remind you, if you really want to be with him that badly, sign the divorce now, it won’t do anyone any good to drag it out any longer!”
“Shen Ron!”
“What? Don’t want to? He came all the way out here for you, shouldn’t you respond in some way?”
“Is it possible that I have a crime in your mind called rotten intercourse in addition to being vicious and nasty?” Cheng Lydia was fired up and glared at him, “I tell you Shen Ron, I was willing to divorce Lim Toby for one important reason besides being forced to be impatient, and that was that I had no real relationship with him. But I’m not necessarily with you, you’re my famous husband, the first and only man who has ever possessed my body!”
After a pause, Cheng Lydia laughed coldly, “Want to divorce me, do you? Do what Lim Toby did, set me up, find a third child to insult me to my face, then beat me up and throw me out of Shen Mansion, then maybe I’ll agree to a divorce.”
Throwing that down, Cheng Lydia turned on her heel and marched off.
