Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 752 Will You Give Up?
So when both Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Sheng came to plead with Old Master Sheng for leniency.
Old Master Sheng held back.
The next day, Sheng Yao was still at a stalemate.
No matter how much Sheng's mother knocked on the door, or how many kind words Sheng's father said, she refused to open it.
The couple was extremely anxious.
Mrs. Sheng almost knelt down before Old Master Sheng.
No matter what, the family can't just stand by and watch Sheng Yao get into trouble.
Grandpa Sheng recalled Sheng Yao, who was born prematurely and weighed less than four pounds. She was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit several times. Because of her poor health since childhood, she was a picky eater, did not like to eat breakfast, and often had stomach pains and felt uncomfortable.
He has gotten much better in the last few years and is no longer as weak and sickly as before.
Whenever Grandpa Sheng thought of this, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't agree to for Sheng Yao.
So, this time, he softened again.
Let her go. Although I have many concerns, at least this way she'll be happier.
Old Master Sheng finally agreed.
Sheng's mother quickly knocked on Sheng Yao's room door.
"Yaoyao, open the door quickly! Your grandfather has agreed to let you go to Chongqing!"
Before Sheng's mother could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened.
Sheng Yao asked incredulously, "Really?"
"Really..." Just as Mrs. Sheng was about to speak, her gaze fell upon the pile of snacks on the table.
Looking at Sheng Yao, she hadn't eaten for two days, but she was still very energetic and seemed perfectly fine.
Mrs. Sheng immediately understood, "Yaoyao, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
How could she forget that Sheng Yao always liked to stuff some snacks into her room, saying she would eat them when she got hungry in the middle of the night?
Sheng's mother used to worry that those snacks were unhealthy and that eating them would be bad for her health, so she wouldn't let her eat them.
But since Sheng Yao wanted to eat it, he had no choice but to go along with her.
Overwhelmed with concern, Sheng's mother completely forgot that there were snacks in Sheng Yao's room.
She scolded playfully, "Do you know how worried your parents are? How can you be so willful?"
Sheng Yao stuck out her tongue, feeling a little guilty and ashamed.
But she had no choice; she couldn't really use the self-inflicted injury ruse on herself.
She's not even with Shen Boyan yet, so she can't let anything happen to herself.
Sheng Yao grabbed her mother and asked impatiently, "Mom, you just said that Grandpa really agreed, you didn't lie to me, right?"
Mrs. Sheng raised her hand and tapped her on the forehead. "You're practically starving to death. Do you think your grandfather would just stand by and watch something happen to you?"
Sheng Yao was overjoyed, but her mother reminded her, "Don't be too happy yet. Your grandfather said that you can go to Chongqing, but you must have someone from our family with you. Also, you can't let Shen Boyan know that you went to Chongqing for him, understand?"
Sheng Yao nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand, I knew Grandpa was the best to me!"
Just as I was feeling happy, Old Master Sheng came out of the room.
He heard Sheng Yao's voice and wanted to come out to see what was going on, but then he remembered that Sheng Yao was using this self-inflicted pain to deliberately make him feel sorry for her, and he became angry.
So, the moment he saw Sheng Yao, an uneasy look flashed across Old Master Sheng's face.
He snorted coldly, pretending not to see it.
But Sheng Yao had already walked towards him.
She took Grandpa Sheng's arm and winked playfully, "Grandpa, are you worried about me?"
Grandpa Sheng straightened his back, deliberately avoiding looking at Sheng Yao, "Why would I worry about you! Seeing you so lively and energetic, you should just go hungry for a few more meals!"
He was scolding Sheng Yao, but there was no trace of anger in his tone.
Sheng Yao acted coquettishly and cutely, "If I really get sick from hunger, you'll worry about me. Besides, you love me so much, how could you bear to let me go hungry? Don't you think I'm right?"
When she acted coquettishly, Old Master Sheng was helpless, and his tense expression relaxed.
He shook his head, his helpless tone full of doting affection, "I really have no way to deal with you."
The Sheng family agreed in the morning, and at noon, Sheng Yao invited Shen Boyan out.
"You can go back to Chongqing now!"
This was the first thing Sheng Yao said to Shen Boyan when they met.
Shen Boyan paused, his hand holding the coffee cup, and looked up at Sheng Yao. "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. You've always wanted to go back to Chongqing, right? I've already had my parents talk to your dad. If he wants us to get married, he can't interfere in anything you do from now on. So, he probably won't care about you anymore."
Shen Boyan gave a mocking smirk.
Shen Congyao's concession was only because Sheng Yao and he were not completely together yet.
He worried that if he didn't follow the Sheng family's wishes, the marriage alliance would fail.
Shen Boyan looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the bustling traffic on the street.
After a moment of silence, he said to Sheng Yao, "You know we won't get married, so there's no point in you doing this. I'm going back to Chongqing, but I'll come back someday."
Shen Boyan knew Shen Congyao too well. Even if he failed, there was no Sheng family, but there were still the Zhang family and the Li family. In any case, he would never miss any opportunity.
"So what?" Sheng Yao smiled brightly, her eyes shining as she stared at Shen Boyan. "That's all for the future. At least you can go back to Yucheng now and do what you want to do. As for whether we can get married, can you guarantee 100% that we definitely can't?"
"No," Shen Boyan answered firmly, "I will not like you."
Sheng Yao was stunned for a moment.
three times.
This is the third time he's said he doesn't like her anymore.
But she just happened to like his stubborn and unyielding nature.
"You say it can't be, so why should I believe you!"
Sheng Yao crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin. "I told you, marriage is something for the future. I'm not thinking about marrying you so soon. Even if you're willing, I'm not."
"Just tell me, do you want to go back to Chongqing?"
Shen Boyan pursed his lips and after a long while, he finally spoke, "If you go back to Yucheng, will you give up?"
"How is that possible!"
Sheng Yao blurted out the words without thinking.
She suddenly covered her mouth.
Why are you talking so fast?
Seriously!
Shen Boyan's chest heaved slightly, as if he were sighing.
Sheng Yao felt a wave of annoyance.
She had already figured out how to talk to Shen Boyan when she came, so how did it turn out like this?
Shen Boyan stood up to leave.
Sheng Yao quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute!"
Shen Boyan stood there, waiting for her to continue.
Sheng Yao quickly organized her thoughts, "I know you don't want me to bother you after you return to Chongqing."
"But think about it, even if you don't stay with me, won't your family arrange other girls for you? Do you think they would agree to you going back to Chongqing like I do?"
After saying this in one breath, Sheng Yao continued when she saw that Shen Boyan did not react, "Even if you agree, your family won't agree, right? After all, the company you have in Chongqing is just a small one, and it won't bring any benefits to your family."
