Chapter 80,2
Shen Yunqing should have continued to study abroad. But after learning that Ren Fulings father had returned to China because of his work, and even Ren Fuling could no longer go abroad, he decided to stay.
Of course, knowing that his parents didnt want him to be with Ren Fuling, the reason he gave was to stay home to take care of the family business.
Yes, taking care of the family business.
5 years ago, Father Shen watched him leave with Ren Fuling in public, throwing Shens reputation on the ground. He became seriously III when he got home. Shen Yunqing was bent on coaxing Ren Fuling to forgive himself at that time, ancl he didnt care to inquire about the news at home. He waited until Father Shen had a stroke. Mother Shen cried and looked for her son everywhere. Only then did Shen Yunqing realize that so many things had happened at home.
His temperament was lofty. If it wasnt for Ren Fuling, how could things be as they are right now? He had to leave the Shen family and continue to study abroad with peace of mind. However, Ren Fuling could no longer go abroad because of her father's job changes, so Shen Yunqing would naturally stay and plan to live with his lover.
He said he was staying to deal with the family business. But he had always claimed himself to be a literati that carecl for the country. How would he be willing to be tainted by the smell of money? Ancl the accounting books were cumbersome and complicated. After reading them for a few days, he left them behind. only to follow his old routines.
Mother Shen had always been at home taking care of her husband and child, and she was illiterate. Now that her husband had a stroke, she was busy at the hospital bed taking care of him. She had no idea how Shen Yunqing was conducting business at home.
She began to mention that Shen Yunqing should take back the grandson kept in the Fang family. But Shen Yunqing himself didnt want that child, let alone to take it. Later, as the Shen family gradually weakened. Mother Shen finally sensed that something was wrong and quickly took over the business, not bothering to urge.
Lying in bed every day, Father Shen also thought that the blood of Shens family and shouldnt stay outside, but he couldnt even speak well. At first. it was okay when Mother Shen took care of him. But when Mother Shen went to support the business at home, she was uneasy about letting the little servants take care of him. After all, they werent his family members.
She was in a difficult situation. It so happened that Father Shens mistress came to the door just to find support. Although Mother Shen was uncomfortable with the fact that Father Shen had a woman outside, she was taught that women take their husbands as their heaven since she was a child. So, after the sadness, she also accepted the second wife.
The matter of taking care of Father Shen was naturally left to the second wife.
The second wife was young and beautiful. She looked beautiful even from afar. Otherwise, she wouldnt have been raised outside by Father Shen. Its just that she looked pretty but had never servecl anyone before.
Knowing that she was young and beautiful, how could she have any true feelings for Father Shen, an elderly old man? She thought she would live in the mansion, but she didnt expect to wait on a stroke patient. She resented it in her heart. On the surface, she took care of Father Shen, but secretly, she took her anger out on him.
Poor Father Shen spent most of his life in luxury. But now, he couldnt even move to say that he had been abused by the woman he used to look down on the most. He felt bitter in his heart. but he could only stare at the beclboard every day.
Shen Yunqing didnt even bother to think about how his father was suffering. Father Shen had a stroke and couldnt speak. Mother Shen always doted on him and couldnt control him. After Mother Shen took over the family business, he could finally pursue Ren Fuling with great pleasure.
The two obviously live in the same city, but they sent each other poetry ancl letters. The sweetness was beyond measure.
However, while no one in the Shen family could stand in the way anymore, Ren Fulings father had started to block the two from dating, in contrast to his previous attitude of being happy with the two when they were abroad.
The reason given by Ren Fulings father was that he originally thought Shen Yunqing was a good talent and he could give his daughter to him with confidence. He didnt realize that he was a man who abandoned his wife when he returned to China. If Ren Fuling married such a person, how could she have a good life?
Father Ren was also considered very well connectecl in Jin City. In acldition to the country itself, there were some acquaintances in foreign countries, he could survive anywhere, and his temperament was always arbitrary.
Therefore, when he saicl this, Shen Yunqing didnt question it. He just secretly hatecl the Fang family for being unreasonable. A simple divorce would have been fine, but they had to make the matter known to everyone, causing him to lose face.
However, after knowing that Fang Licheng had been living in seclusion and not remarried, the resentment turned into relief.
Lin Shiheng, a nearly adopted son of the Fang family, wasnt heard after joining the army. Now only Fang Licheng and Mother Fang were living with the child at home. Although Shen Yunqing hated Fang Licheng for not giving face, he was also a proud person and wouldnt do anything to bully them. Therefore, he could only accept this anger and concentrate all his attention on Ren Fuling and his future father-in-law.
Father Rens attitude was firm, but he couldnt stop Ren Fuling from secretly meeting with Shen Yunqing in the name of a party. They were very dissatisfied that her father had to stop their pure love.
On a sunny day, Ren Fuling clrank too much wine and slept with Shen Yunqing after a bit of urging. Because she was afraid of being chastisecl if she tolcl her father, and the two just continued to hide it, enjoying the thrill of the affair.
Shen Yunqing got the body of his sweetheart, knowing that it was 80% a sure thing, he completely lost his previous anxiety. They continued to send love letters one after another as if he was just calmly waiting to marry the beautiful woman.
On this day, when Ren Fuling returned from boating on the lake with her sweetheart, she returned home with a sweet smile on her charming face. When she openecl the door, she saw her fathers livid face.
Dad ..."
The smile on her face instantly froze, and she reluctantly made herself look normal. She stammered, Its so late. What are you doing in your daughter"s room?
So, you know its so late!
Father Ren slapped the table with a black face, pointing to his daughter and yelling, Look at what you look like. How long has it gotten clark? You are a girl, and youre still playing outside!
Eh, Dad!"
Ren Fuling grew up spoiled. Seeing his anger. she quickly stepped forward to hug his arm ancl pouted, I was like this when I was abroad. Why should I change? And Im not the only one, Miss Cheng and Miss Zhang are the same."
They are going out with their fiancv, and they are all accompanied by maids. They are in full view of the public. Of course. they have nothing to worry about. Can you do the same!?"
This time, Father Ren wasnt as easily foolecl as before. Instead, he threw off his daughters hand and spoke with a cold face, Dont think I dont know, you went out to see that Shen boy, right?
How many times have I told you that although his qualifications are good. his mind is useless, and he is a man who abandons his wife ancl child. If you marry him. there will be no good end!"
Dad!
Ren Fuling heard him talking about her lover; she immediately bristled with displeasure, You are just prejudiced against Yunqing. He is a very talented person, not at all like what youre saying!"
Yes, talented.
Father Ren snorted with ridicule, Whats the use of having talent but bad character?
Things aren t like whats rumored out there."
Ren Fulings delicate face was full of indignation, That was the old societys feudal marriage. Yunqing was forced into a blincl arranged marriage!"
Forced?
Father Ren stood up violently and slammed a teacup on the floor, Could you have a child when youre forced??!!"
If he doesnt want to marry, he didnt have to marry his wife. When his wife just gave birth, he forced her to divorce. If you dare to marry such a person, I won't acknowledge it!"
Before, I also said that he is compatible with you ancl didnt stop you from meeting in private. As soon as I knew what kind of person he was back home, I immediately told you clearly. Why are you so stubborn?!
He spoke while huffing and puffing. gasping for breath, pointing at his daughter. His hand was trembling, If he really has you in his heart, why should he hide the fact that he has a wife, making us all think that he is unmarried? Fuling, listen to me, hurry up and break it off with this man. Since he can treat his wife who gave birth to his son like that, he can also treat you like that in the future.
No, Dad."
Ren Fuling was anxious, her forehead was sweating, and she quickly defended her lover, When we spoke to each other abroad, Yun Qing didnt hide the fact that he had a wife from me. He didnt lie to anyone. but I was afraicl that you were worried and didnt tell you."
Father Rens eyes were simply glaring. What did you say?!!!"
You knew he had a wife ancl family but still associated with him?!
Its just an arranged marriage in the olcl society. It doesnt mean anything, I...
Beast!!!"
-Pa!
Father Ren didnt wait for her to finish, he threw a slap at his daughters face. His eyes were full of alienation, How did I raise a daughter like you?!!!" Its better to tear down ten temples than to break a marriage. Youre committing a sin!"
