After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 595 - 375: _3

Tang Xi stood to one side, "Why did he die, and why do you say it is related to Mr. Shu?"

"It’s a matter from long ago. Your father was an outstanding individual, the person I deeply loved," Shen Qinglin muttered to these words, "the person I’ve loved for a lifetime."

"Tang Xi, let mom tell you a story about how I established News Group," Shen Qinglin wasn’t wearing very thick clothing, but she didn’t seem to mind the cold, "After getting out of prison, I submitted resumes everywhere trying to find a job. I thought that, having studied at a prestigious school, I would be able to find a decent job. I knew I didn’t have a diploma, but just relying on the education I had received since I was young, proficient in four languages, familiar with clothing and jewelry design from a young age, even though I had just been released from prison, even without an educational background, I should have been able to find a job at a small company."

"But I was too naive back then," Shen Qinglin said with a bitter smile, as if recalling those past events vividly.

"I went to many small studios, but as soon as they saw that I had been in prison, none would hire me, and I couldn’t even pay the rent. Out of necessity, I managed to fake an identity, only then did I go to a small jewelry design company, but not as a designer, rather as a receptionist and errand runner."

"Still, it allowed me to make ends meet. The small jewelry company declared bankruptcy within a year and was quickly acquired. The employees who wanted to continue in this field stayed here, and I chose to stay, because, leaving here to find another job would have been difficult. The new owner was Li Congxing, thirty-eight years old, very astute. He was also starting a business; his family was in the jade business, which failed, and now he was preparing for a comeback. I went with him to Myanmar to buy materials, and on the way, we became involved. I actually didn’t want it, but I was drunk that time."

"I was beautiful when I was young. Li Congxing expressed his admiration for me and said he wanted to take responsibility, he wanted to marry me. At that time, I knew Lu Yanlin had already died, and I was alone, even basic necessities were a problem for me. I wanted to desperately make a success of my career, to find you, and also, to take revenge on Shu Chong’an. I wanted to show him, to prove myself, that as his daughter, I too could make a career. I didn’t want to be a chess piece in a wealthy marriage!"

"Li Congxing treated me very well, he took good care of me. After that night, our relationship progressed quite a bit, tinged with a hint of romance. But I didn’t agree to be his girlfriend. He was also very handsome, tall, and slightly romantic like the poets from the north, he knew how to be romantic. I was honest with him then, I told him I had been in prison and had a child. He was very surprised, the kind of surprise any normal man would have. I thought he was regretting it, after all, no man could tolerate a woman who had been to prison and had a child."

"But what I didn’t expect was that three days later, he took me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate."

He said he wanted to marry me.

He also said, he would take care of me, and be by my side for a lifetime.

I was also very happy at the moment.

I didn’t love him, but if we could respect each other as spouses and live a normal marital life, that was also good.

He was very business-savvy, with a keen eye. I handled the design, and we were in the jade business, which soon improved. Starting from a small company, we gradually expanded our scale. After five years, beside the jade business, we started engaging in other jewelry businesses, including custom clothing, leather goods, custom-made leather boots. We established a group named DaeKang.

At that time, I also gained a little fame in the design circle, with countless wealthy wives seeking me for designs.

I designed a series called Heart Piercing.

The day that series was launched, was your birthday, and it was designed for you.

And it was that design that let more people know the name Designer Shen Qinglin.

These three years I have been very happy with Li Congxing. Being with him, I seemed to have temporarily forgotten my past troubles, I even forgot my own identity.

"But what I didn’t expect was, Li Congxing deceived me. He had a child, he still loved his ex-wife. He married me because, from a previous blood donation I had left personal information, his wife needed a kidney transplant, he wanted my kidney... he lied to me. After the truth came out, he cried and told me he had also fallen in love with me, he said he regretted it."

"Yet I didn’t expect, Li Congxing deceived me." Her expression changed inadvertently.

The warmth in her eyes was gone, replaced by resentment and indignation.

"Li Congxing had a wife, and he still loved his wife very much."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xi’s expression changed. She looked at Shen Qinglin, even a stranger would want to offer some words of comfort in such circumstances. Not to mention, the person in front was her biological mother connected by blood. Yet Tang Xi didn’t know how to comfort her, she just gently patted her shoulder.
