Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Zhongjin’s car had left after a long time. From a dark corner in the parking lot, a person slowly walked out.
Under the dim light, her face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. Her right hand was holding onto the pillar as her nails dug hard and rough into its rough surface.
Her fingernails split open and blood trickled down her fingertips, but she was completely unaware of it.
Xu Meixi had already left just now. However, she returned to look for Li Zhongjin because he had left some of his materials in her bag. She was worried he would need them at the company later, so she wanted to bring them back to him.
Unexpectedly, she listened to such a conversation.
Now, she vaguely knew that Li Zhongjin’s purpose in marrying her and bringing her into the Zhen family wasn’t so simple.
She was well aware that she didn’t have an important place in his heart. However, she didn’t expect the truth to be so unbearable.
She thought that he was more or less sincere to her, but she didn’t expect she would be used from the beginning to the end.
Now that he had achieved his goal, the other party kicked her away mercilessly as if she was trash.
Xu Meixi steadied herself and slowly took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the blood off her fingertips. Then, she left the parking lot calmly.

In the ward, Old Lady Zhen held Sang Qianqian’s hand weakly and looked at her with a complicated and loving gaze.
During this period of time, Shen Hanyu had never mentioned why Sang Qianqian disappeared. However, how could Old Lady Zhen not see the big problem between them?
Otherwise, Sang Qianqian wouldn’t have disappeared for so long and avoided Shen Hanyu.
The old lady didn’t ask what was going on between them. She only said gently, “Qianqian, I still remember the first time Hanyu brought you to the Zhen family.”
Sang Qianqian was slightly startled. Why was the old lady suddenly mentioning this?
“That night, Hanyu had the brightest smile on his face since his long stay in the Zhen family’s residence.”
Old Lady Zhen recalled that day and sighed. “When he looked at you, his eyes were filled with happiness. Even though Zhong Jin brought a few unhappy photos, it didn’t affect his mood. At that moment, I knew that Hanyu was probably like his mother. He had set his mind on one person and would never change.”
Sang Qianqian remained silent.
“His personality is cold and he doesn’t talk much. However, you should know how he feels about you.”
The old lady said kindly, “If Hanyu did something wrong, tell him directly and ask him to change. It doesn’t matter even if you have to scold or beat him. If you can’t bear it, then tell this old woman and I’ll teach him a lesson for you. Grandmother is getting on in years, and I don’t know how long I can accompany you. But as long as I’m around, 1 will never let him bully you.”
Sang Qianqian’s nose was sore, and her tears almost fell. “You’ll definitely live to be a hundred years old.”
Old Lady Zhen smiled. “You’re such a sweet talker.”
She paused for a moment, and then returned to talk about Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu. “I heard from Yiping that you and Hanyu have known each other since high school?”
“Yes.” Sang Qianqian could only nod.
“After so many years, so many things have happened. It wasn’t easy for you two to get together.”
Old Lady Zhen sighed. She took Sang Qianqian’s hand and then Shen Hanyu’s. She solemnly placed the former’s hand in the latter’s palm, gently saying, “Hanyu, you must treat Qianqian well in the future.”
Shen Hanyu was silent for two seconds before replying softly, “I will.”
“Qianqian,”
The old lady looked at Sang Qianqian, her aged eyes filled with pleading, “Promise Grandma that you and Hanyu will be together in the future, okay?”
Sang Qianqian’s heart seemed to be blocked by something. After a while, she said with red eyes, “Alright.”
In the future…
In the near future, she would be happy with Shen Hanyu for the rest of her life.
But now was not the time.
Shen Hanyu looked deeply at Sang Qianqian. She lowered her head and did not look at him.
Perhaps it was because of her “Alright” that Shen Hanyu’s expression was no longer as cold as before when he came out of the hospital. Instead, he looked much calmer and gentler.
The two of them didn’t speak the entire way until the car stopped in a courtyard. Shen Hanyu got out of the car and opened the door for Sang Qianqian.
She looked around. This was a very exquisite and antique house. The building wasn’t completely unfamiliar to her.
She had been here once with Shen Hanyu.
When they reconciled and went to the Zhen family’s residence for the first time, Zhen Yiping gave them a house. He said that the courtyard they lived in was too small and that they could stay here if they had children.
At that time, she didn’t want it, but Zhen Yiping insisted that she accept it.
Later, Shen Hanyu brought her here to see if she liked it. “If you like it, we can move in now.”
Sang Qianqian really liked it, but this house was a four-story residence. It would be a waste for two people to live in it, as this house had been empty up till now.
She did not expect Shen Hanyu to bring her here.
“You can stay here for two days.”
He led her into the house and said, “We’ll return to Ming City after Grandma’s matter is settled.”
After a pause, he continued, “If you need anything, just tell the servants. You can also call me.”
“Hanyu, have you noticed?”
She sighed slightly. “Every time you want to bring me back to Ming City, there will always be unpredictable accidents that prevent you from doing so.”
Last time, it was Zhen Zhu’s matter. Then, it was Zhen Group. After that, Shen Shaofeng also got an issue. This time, it was Old Lady Zhen.
Shen Hanyu was silent for a while. “What do you want to say?”
“Now is not the time for me to return to Ming City.”
Her tone was sincere. “Hanyu, give me some time, and give yourself some time.”
His gaze fell on her pregnant belly, which wasn’t so obvious yet. His eyes were cold. “1 don’t think that’s necessary.”
“Have you forgotten that Ruan Xiaodie tried to ruin you and the Zhen family? Although she left, she might not let things go.”
Sang Qianqian said subtly, “The Zhen family is in a rough patch now. Zhen Zhu is in a difficult situation, and there might be someone adding fuel to the fire. You shouldn’t spend too much time on me.”
Last night, Ruan Xiaodie had said that “revenge won’t end easily”. She also said that the current situation was far from her expectations.
Every time she thought of these two sentences, Sang Qianqian couldn’t feel at ease. There were some things she couldn’t tell Shen Hanyu right now, so she could only remind him to be careful.
Ruan Xiaodie’s had twisted thoughts, and no one could determine her plans.
However, after a few phone calls with the former, Sang Qianqian had some understanding of her style.
The Zhen family had a close relationship with Shen Hanyu. If Ruan Xiaodie continued to take revenge, she wouldn’t let the Zhen family off easily. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Li Zhongjin and Zhen Zhu were now fighting more and more fiercely. It seemed as if Ruan Xiaodie had nothing to do with it, but who knew if the woman had intervened?
In the past, even Zhen Chongming, who seemed to have nothing to do with her, was persuaded by and willingly became her fan.
It wasn’t impossible that Li Zhongjin had been incited to fight Zhen Zhu for power..
