Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

When Cheng Lydia woke up the next day, Shen Ron was no longer there.

She turned a little, gazing at the empty seat next to her pillow, remembering the text she’d received on Shen Ron’s phone, his mother-in-law asking him to come over early today.

Is he going to his mother-in-law’s house to apologize and give her an explanation?

Cheng Lydia sat up from her bed and scanned the time on the wall, it was just before 8 o’clock.

Downstairs, Amy was cleaning the house and when she saw her coming down she called out respectfully, “Good morning, young lady.”

“Good morning.” She asked, “Did the youngest go out early?”

“The youngest went out at seven o’clock, and told me to tell you he would be back in time for noon dinner.”

“Well, where’s the old lady?” She swept around and didn’t see the old lady.

“The old lady is walking in the garden.”

Cheng Lydia nodded and took a step inside the garden.

From a distance, Cheng Lydia could see the old lady twisting and dancing with Ho Gina, talking and laughing as she danced.

Cheng Lydia had long heard that Ho Gina was a great crowd pleaser for old ladies, and it seemed to be true.

Instead of stopping her writhing when she saw Cheng Lydia, the old woman waved at Cheng Lydia, “Lydia, come and exercise with us.”

Cheng Lydia smiled and shook her head as she walked over to a chair next to her and sat down, taking a sip from the floral tea the maid handed up.

Ho Gina’s extremely unfriendly eyes were cast, but Cheng Lydia only smiled and tasted the flower tea in her cup, unconcerned.

After dancing a bit, the old lady came over and sat down on a chair opposite Cheng Lydia, who thoughtfully handed her a towel and smiled, “Grandma is so energetic.”

“I have Gina to thank for practicing with my section every morning.” The old lady waved at Ho Gina, “Gina, come and sit down.”

“No, I have to go to school to get my thesis.” Ho Gina nodded at the pair, “Let the young lady accompany you for tea.”

“That’s fine, you go ahead.”

“Goodbye, old lady and young lady.” Ho Gina turned to leave the garden.

After watching Ho Gina’s back disappear, the old woman twisted back around and smiled at Cheng Lydia, “If the child has any faults, it’s because she loves Ron too much, forgive her.”

“Grandma, I didn’t mean to be hateful to her.” Cheng Lydia refilled the old woman’s cup with hot tea.

All this time, it was Ho Gina who was hating on her and rejecting her.

The poisoning incident had passed, but she knew in her heart that Shen Ron was not fully convinced that Ho Gina had done the poisoning, nor was she fully convinced that she was innocent.

Shen Ron simplifies things by simply saying he trusts her.

Sometimes when I think about it, my heart is really wrong and depressed, but the old lady has Ho Gina in her heart, and Shen Ron also has some love for Ho Gina, so what else can she do but tolerate it without evidence?

The old lady took a sip of her flower tea and asked her, “By the way, where’s Ron been so early in the morning?”

Cheng Lydia looked at her and eventually just played dumb, “He didn’t say.”

“That boy, he hasn’t been back for two days, and he doesn’t know to take time for me, an old man.”

“Guess something’s up, he said he’d be back in time to join us for lunch.”

Returning from the yard, Cheng Lydia accompanied the old lady to breakfast before returning to her bedroom to watch TV alone.

Near noon, Shen Ron returned.

For the first time, he marched into the bedroom with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and they were bright roses. When he entered, Cheng Lydia was sitting draped in a blanket on the couch watching an idiotic romance show that had just reached the scene where the hero and heroine had a painful breakup.

Upon entering the door and seeing her eyes red, Shen Ron was stunned and placed the bouquet of roses on the table, crouched down in front of her and looked at her very nervously and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you upset?”

Cheng Lydia stares down at him, and he gets nervous about whether she’s happy or not? Would worry that she was angry with him? As in he had broken the rules and bought her roses?

Should she be happy to have his attention?

“I’m watching a Korean drama where the female lead has leukemia.” She said as she wiped a handful of her dense eyes.

Shen Ron sighed in relief, and with his opposite hand, he copied the remote control on the table and pressed the off button, and the TV went black. He looked relieved and snapped, “Don’t watch this kind of undernourishing romantic drama, it’s scary.”

As far as he knew, Cheng Lydia didn’t like romantic dramas, she always said that they were fast food dramas that only little girls and older women loved to watch. She had never thought that today she would watch a romantic drama and shed tears over it.

“It’s for you.” Shen Ron said with a light smile as he held the bouquet of roses on the table in front of her.

“Why did you suddenly think of giving me flowers?” Cheng Lydia looked at the bouquet of roses in front of her, not nine, not eleven, but ten.

Did he pick this number with intent? Or was it unintentional?

“I just walked by the florist and remembered I never gave you roses, so I bought them.” He smiled, “What? Don’t like it?”

“Of course I like it.” Cheng Lydia reached out to take the rose, surveyed him and asked, “Are you okay?”

Didn’t he get a lecture from his mother-in-law? Why does he still have the heart to send her flowers? Could it be … a kind of compensation? The thing that Young Master Shen loved to do was to give her material compensation when he felt sorry for her.

Her question caused the smile to fade from Shen Ron’s lips, she knew? And how did she know?Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryoga nodded his head and smiled, “It’s okay.”

Cheng Lydia nodded and got up to the window, carefully removing the confetti from the bouquet of roses with scissors and inserting them, one by one, into the glass vase.

The vase had been a mere decoration since she married in, and today it finally came in handy.

The crystal clear bottle is enhanced by the rose petals.

She didn’t ask Shen Ron for details because she didn’t feel the need to touch his heart. And Shen Ron had no intention of telling her either, likewise feeling no need to burden her heart.

At lunchtime, Cheng Lydia drank the bowl of tonic soup that the old lady had deliberately prepared for her as good as usual, and though she did not think it was useful, she never resisted the old lady in such trifles.

It was Shen Ron who protested, “Grandma, you don’t want Lydia to have this soup, Lydia doesn’t like it.”

Hearing his words, instead of being offended, the old lady moved her gaze joyfully to Cheng Lydia’s belly and said, “Lydia isn’t pregnant, is she?”

Cheng Lydia’s face was instantly tinged with a touch of discomfort, and she stole a glance at Shen Ron.

“No yet, Grandma.” She volunteered to confide.

She saw a clear flash of disappointment on the old woman’s face, and the guilt in her heart deepened.

She knew that the old lady was expecting news from her belly day and night, but unfortunately things were not as they should be, she and Shen Ron had been married for more than four months, but there was no news from her belly, no wonder the old lady was so disappointed.

Even though she had been prepared to be hounded about her children when she arrived, she still didn’t know what to do at this point that would be a little more appropriate.

Soothe the old lady, don’t worry, maybe next month she’ll get pregnant? But what if she doesn’t get pregnant again next month?

Her fingers tightened with her chopsticks, and she bowed her head and ate in silence.

Shen Ron, seeing how cold the scene was, reached out with his chopsticks and gave the old lady a piece of fish and smiled lightly, “Grandma, do you know why Lydia hasn’t been able to get pregnant?”

“Why?”

“Because you’re putting too much pressure on you.”

“Bullshit.”

“Hasn’t Grandma ever heard of that? It takes time and place to get pregnant.”

“So … which one of these things are you missing in time and place?” The old woman scanned the pair back and forth.

“Lack of a relaxed state of mind.”

The old lady said, “Isn’t it just relaxing? Give you a month off to go out and travel for a break, just to make up for the missed honeymoon between you.”

Cheng Lydia and Shen Ron were slightly surprised at the same time, looking up at the old lady who was giving a big grace… a month’s leave? That was a bit long.

Of course, Cheng Lydia herself is not any dissent, she is worried about Shen Ron. sneak a glance at Shen Ron, sure enough, he found a difficult look on his face.

It’s true, he couldn’t see Yang June for a long month, how could he let go of it? Even if he could, there was no way to deal with the Yang family!

“Where do you want to go?” Shen Ron asked Cheng Lydia after a moment of silence and then twisted his head around.

“I …” Cheng Lydia thought hesitantly and finally uttered, “My mom has been doing pre-op conditioning for the past few months and I want to spend more time with her.”

In fact, her mother’s side is so well taken care of by the hospital now that she doesn’t need her at all, but she still took this out as an excuse because she didn’t want Shen Ron to be embarrassed.

Shen Ron looked at her with some slight movement on his face.

Cheng Lydia didn’t notice, turning to the old lady and smiling at her, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll work hard and try to get you your grandson as soon as possible.”

“I knew our Lydia was the most understanding.” The older woman patted the back of her hand in praise.

How could she not see what was in the young couple’s minds?

After the meal, the two of them accompanied the old lady for a while to drink tea, and she claimed to be going back to her room for a nap.

Before going back to the room, he asked the two of them to stay here for dinner as well, and naturally Cheng Lydia agreed to do so.

Stepping into the bedroom, Shen Ron suddenly grabbed Cheng Lydia’s wrist, stood in front of her and gazed at her and said, “Thank you.”

“What?” Cheng Lydia played dumb.

“You gave up the trip because you were worried I wouldn’t be able to answer to the Youngs, right?”

“Not …”

Shen Ron’s arms folded and brought her into his arms before her words of denial could exit, lowering his head to kiss her on the lips.

No need for her to deny it, he understood.

Today when Mrs. Yang called him over, she questioned him with a snotty nose and tears if he had changed his heart and if he was in love with another woman. He firmly declared that he loved Yang June and always had.

Mrs. Young was uneasy and asked him to swear and to give his word, which he did one by one, almost without even thinking about it.

Yes, he loved Yang June, for Cheng Lydia, he never dared to face whether that kind of feeling was love or not, but one thing he knew in his heart was that if there was no Yang June, he would have fallen in love with her.

So the only thing he owed was guilt.

That’s why he bought the bouquet of roses when he passed by the florist, it was a kind of compensation for his soul, he didn’t know if it would work, but it was all he could do.

Even the kiss … at hand was bestowed on her at a deficit.

Cheng Lydia quietly parted her small face to avoid his lips.

He was stunned and looked at her ask, “What’s wrong?”

“My phone is ringing.” Cheng Lydia said softly, pulling her phone from inside her pocket.

She was still grateful for the call, otherwise she didn’t really know how she would have responded to Shen Ron. it was hard to accept a kiss with a compensatory nature inside her.

The call came from the hospital’s main desk, asking her to get to the hospital immediately because a female patient she had operated on the other day had a relapse and her life was on the line.

Cheng Lydia walked to her closet almost without thinking and pulled out her coat and put it on, and took her handbag off the coat rack with an air of haste.

Shen Ron followed her and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing, a patient at the hospital had a sudden emergency and needed me to come over.” Cheng Lydia pulled open the carved wooden door.

“I’ll walk you there.”

“No, I’ll just drive there myself.”

“The car keys are in the first cabinet in the living room.”

“I know.” Cheng Lydia’s words trailed off as she disappeared down the hallway.

The Shen Family had two spare cars, a Mercedes that Tom usually drove and a Porsche, and Tom left for lunch to run some errands.

Cheng Lydia pulled open the first cabinet inside the living room and caught a glimpse of the Porsche car keys, which she took and headed to the garage.

Driving the Porsche for the first time, Cheng Lydia didn’t feel rusty, but rather light and fast.

Right in front of the Shen Mansion is a long downhill road, not steep, but rather long.

As the car approached the gate, security had thoughtfully opened the automatic gate, but despite this, Cheng Lydia slowed down out of habit. She pointed her toe on the brake, but the car didn’t slow down at all.

Was it because the brake pedal was too high? Puzzled, she increased the power on her toes, and the car continued unabated.

After a handful of hours of avoiding the obstructionist on either side of the gate, the car exited the mansion and began to make its way downhill.

The car was picking up speed, faster and faster, and Cheng Lydia got anxious and put all her strength on the brake pedal.

However, the car acted as if it was out of control and went completely against its owner’s wishes.

Before owning an Audi, Cheng Lydia seldom drove, and her driving skills were not that proficient, so when she encountered such an unexpected situation, she was in a panic.

The mind keeps asking: How could this happen? How could this happen?

There was a small moderate turn ahead and panic set in and she couldn’t even control the steering wheel.

A terrified scream broke from his throat, followed by a loud ‘bang’ as the car slammed into a 100 year old tree, tilted, and after two big 360 degree flips in a row, was stopped by another large tree.

It was on all four wheels and the body was badly deformed.

Cheng Lydia could no longer tell whether she was frightened or eaten up by the tremendous pain in her forehead, her mind went blank, and little by little her consciousness drew … away.

She eventually passed out.

The security staff, who had been puzzled by Cheng Lydia’s erratic behavior when she left the house, ran out immediately after hearing the loud bang to find out what was going on.

Also running out was Shen Ron, who had been standing on the landing to watch Cheng Lydia leave.
