It wasn't two or three years, it was almost twenty years.
No one has ever spent more time with her husband than she has.
"Sir, how could you possibly be interested in her? She's just a country bumpkin, a country girl with no education, no manners, and a cunning mind. She doesn't truly love you; she's only after your status, your wealth, and your fortune."
“Sir, I have been by your side for almost twenty years. I am the one who has truly been good to you.”
Everyone except Shen Jichuan knew about Li Ling's feelings for Shen Jichuan.
Su Yugui, in particular, would often speak well of Li Ling in front of Shen Jichuan.
She tricked Li Ling into helping her keep an eye on Shen Jichuan.
Whenever a strange woman appeared around Shen Jichuan, Su Yugui would find out the next day.
Shen Jichuan said coldly, "She's so young, she can't possibly marry me just because I'm older, can she?"
"Sister Ling, remember your place."
"This time, you and your sister-in-law should go straight back to the old house."
Li Ling looked at Su Yugui with pleading eyes.
Su Yugui chuckled.
“Ji Chuan, Sister Ling has worked for the Shen family for decades. Even if you let her go back to the old house, you still have to let her tidy up a bit.”
"Alright, I came here today because Haiyang called me. He said he wanted me to talk to you about marrying Yang Xuening."
As Su Yugui spoke, she deliberately glanced at Shen Haiyang and said something.
"Haiyang, I've said everything I should and shouldn't have said. You know your dad's temper; he doesn't listen to advice."
"You two can discuss it; I should head back now."
Su Yugui walked out, and Shen Haiyang nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Auntie."
Li Ling then followed Su Yugui outside.
But the person returned shortly afterward.
She walked up to Shen Jichuan and knelt down with a thud.
"Sir, are you really that heartless to kick me out?"
“I have been taking care of Haiyang since he was a very young child. I have been with you for more than ten or twenty years. I have worked hard, even if I have not done anything great.”
Shen Haiyang also spoke up for Li Ling.
"Dad, why did you send Sister Ling away? We all see what she's done for the family."
Shen Jichuan stood up indifferently.
“If it weren’t for the hard work you put into raising Haiyang, I would have let you go five years ago.”
Five years ago...
Li Ling suddenly remembered something, and her face flushed slightly.
That year, she deliberately dressed scantily, hoping to take advantage of her husband's drunkenness and spend a night with him.
Her goal was to get Shen Jichuan to marry her.
As for whether they could actually have a relationship, even if they did, Shen Jichuan couldn't have children.
As long as she could marry Shen Jichuan and become Mrs. Shen, Li Ling would have achieved all her goals.
"Sir, that was an accident. I had a few drinks and went into the wrong room."
Wrong room?
Is it possible to walk from the first floor to the second floor?
Shen Jichuan didn't believe this nonsense at all.
At that time, Li Ling knelt down and begged him, saying that she was being driven away because of this incident, and that it would be shameful if word got out. She begged him to give her some dignity.
She will definitely never dare to do it again.
Shen Jichuan acted as if nothing had happened.
But ever since then, he always locks the door when he goes home to sleep.
He also forbade Li Ling from going upstairs to the second floor at will, let alone entering his room.
Shen Jichuan no longer believed Li Ling's words and stood up with a cold expression.
He casually tossed out a sentence.
"I'm giving you one day to pack your things and go back to the old house. Or, you can just leave."
After finishing his sentence, Shen Jichuan went upstairs to the second floor.
Only Li Ling on the first floor remained, wailing and crying.
Shen Haiyang frowned and offered a few perfunctory words of comfort.
But Li Ling wouldn't let go of him, and Shen Haiyang became annoyed.
To be frank, he had something to do and needed to go out.
Wen Qiao looked at Shen Jichuan who had gone up to the second floor, and then glanced at Li Ling who was crying downstairs.
After hesitating, she looked at Shen Jichuan.
"Sir, you just said that I am your wife, was that to deliberately anger Ms. Su? Let's call this clearing things up."
Shen Jichuan glanced at Wen Qiao, then lifted his long legs and went up the stairs.
He said calmly, "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
Clear things up?
From the moment she kissed him, flirted with him, and told him she loved him, their relationship became inextricably intertwined.
