Chapter 54: Reasons for Cheating
Chen Shuyun was speechless for a moment. They had never cared about Su Ying, so there was indeed no difference. But now that they had met and knew each other, she felt that they should at least have some feelings for Su Ying.
"Yingying..."
Gu Jinghong also nodded to Su Ying, and Su Ying pushed him to the round table. Du Feng moved a chair away, and Su Ying pushed Gu Jinghong's wheelchair over.
Su Jianshe is the factory director, and the house he was allocated is quite spacious, with two bedrooms and a large living room that can accommodate a round table and a coffee table.
Chen Shuyun didn't sit down, but just looked at Old Mrs. Su. When she saw Zhao Yumei and Su Xiaohan bringing dishes from the kitchen, she wanted to help.
Su Ying grabbed her.
"Mom, please sit down. We are guests and don't need your help."
Chen Shuyun was a little annoyed by the word "guest" and didn't go over to the other side.
Su Ying pulled out a chair for her to sit on, and she sat down. Old Mrs. Su's face immediately turned ugly. Chen Shuyun sat awkwardly and tried to get up, with Su Ying holding her shoulders firmly.
Three dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a plate of fried pork skin with celery. This is considered a treat for Su Ying and the others.
Even Gu Jinghong, who had always had a blank expression on his face, frowned slightly.
Su Jianshe pretended to say a few opening remarks, then asked his father to pick up his chopsticks, and then invited Su Ying and Chen Shuyun to eat.
Chen Shuyun wanted to pick up the chopsticks, but when she saw that Su Ying and Gu Jinghong didn't move, she awkwardly withdrew her hand and just lowered her head, ignoring the strange atmosphere.
"Shuyun, I know I've been unfair to you, but we've been married for many years. Even if we don't have any feelings for each other anymore, we shouldn't hold a grudge against each other, right? What do you think?"
When Chen Shuyun heard Su Jianshe calling her, she quickly raised her head.
"Yes, well, I, I didn't say there was any grudge between us."
However, when she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yumei. This woman was a thorn in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it to Su Jianshe.
Su Jianshe continued.
"Then why did you let Su Ying come to the factory and make such a fuss? Do you know how difficult it was for me to survive until the day after tomorrow? When I left Shangyang Village, I couldn't even find a job when I returned to the city. At that time, I could only afford to eat one meal a day. Later, I worked on the ground carrying bricks for others. Every night when I returned to the shed, my hands were full of blisters. At that time, I thought, I have to work hard. I still have a daughter to support, and you are still waiting for me to return to Shangyang Village. I have to make a name for myself so that I can bring you here. But later, I was injured and lay in bed for half a year. It was at that time that Yumei took care of me day and night. Shuyun, I'm sorry, I am sorry, but I beg you, don't make a fuss anymore. My life was saved by Yumei. Can you just help us?"
Chen Shuyun had already burst into tears after hearing this, and was choked with sobs and could hardly speak.
"Stop talking, stop talking. I... I didn't know. I really didn't know you had suffered so much. I'm sorry. It's my fault."
The more Su Ying listened to her words, the more speechless she became. How had she wronged them? Regardless of whether Su Jianshe's words were true or not, even if they were, so what? These weren't reasons for his infidelity. Furthermore, Su Ying didn't believe a single word of Su Jianshe's claims that he did everything for them.
Su Jianshe was also moved and actually started crying. Zhao Yumei stood beside him with a towel and wiped his tears.
Su Xiaohan also lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
"Auntie, I want to apologize to you on behalf of my mom, too. My mom has always been strong-willed and never said a soft word, but she feels really bad for you. But she loves Dad, and they've been a loving couple for so many years. Everyone in the factory knows it, as do the neighbors. They all know they're in love. Auntie, I know this isn't fair to you, but I still ask you to let them go."
Old Man Su also sighed.
"Alas, my family is so lucky to have such a good woman. If it weren't for Yumei, he would have died by then. Think about it, can you do what Yumei did?"
Old Mrs. Su snorted.
