Chapter 168 A Good Situation for Both Sides



Others may say what they say, but He Wanrong wants to hear Shen Shuhe’s personal answer!

After saying that, he glanced coldly at the woman beside him.

When Shen Shuhe heard the old lady's unfriendly tone, his brows knitted slightly, and he nodded calmly and calmly.

She replied with two words: It’s me.

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of an arm slanting into his sight from the corner of his eye.

Shen Shuhe's heart sank suddenly, and his body reacted first and dodged backwards.

But because she was close to the old lady, she acted without warning, and her fingertips brushed against her ears, causing a slight numbness.

Shen Shuhe's expression suddenly changed.

But before she could get angry, the old lady took the initiative and suddenly stood up and scolded her, "You are a traitor!"

"I've treated you well, and this is how you repay me?!" He Wanrong said one sentence after another, not giving Shen Shuhe a chance to speak.

...

...

She said, Jing Mo doesn’t like you, don’t forget who saved you and the baby in your belly!

She also said that if it weren't for her, an old lady, saying nice things to Jing Mo over the years, you would have been kicked out by him long ago!

Finally, he scolded her again, saying that Shen Shuhe was shameless and ungrateful, and it was a misfortune for our Pei family to have a daughter-in-law like you!

He Wanrong's breath was unstable, and she said sarcastically with a blank expression: "It seems that Jing Mo and Xiao Yu don't like you for a reason!"

After these words were spoken, the living room was filled with endless silence and depression.

Peiyi, who was standing behind, was helping the old lady calm down while looking at the woman sitting upright on the sofa with a complicated look.

His eyes swept across her slightly red cheeks, and his gaze became even more conflicted.

She had always known that the Young Madam was not on good terms with the Young Master and Miss Le Yao, but before it was just a few quarrels among a few people, harmless. But she never expected that the Young Madam, who seemed gentle and quiet on the surface, would do things so ruthlessly this time.

Pushing Pei and the young master and young lady to the forefront in this way was a betrayal in the old lady's eyes!

That's why she was so angry.

Peiyi sighed in her heart, wondering how the old lady would punish the young lady this time, and whether she would forgive her?

As she was thinking, a shadow suddenly fell in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw Shen Shuhe standing up.

"Old lady." Shen Shuhe called out, and the moment He Wanrong raised her eyes and looked over, her voice rang out again.

"I admit that I did it this time. But grandma, don't you want to ask why?"

Shen Shuhe changed his address again, probably because of what the old lady said just now.

There are things that are hard to hear, but there are also truths.

The old lady was right. If she hadn't tried her best to bring them together, she wouldn't have married Pei Jingmo, and she wouldn't have had the baby in her belly.

Although the result of this matter is not satisfactory today, at that time, it was what Shen Shuhe was thinking about.

And the old lady also treated her sincerely.

So she wanted to give each other another chance.

Just as she convinced herself, the old lady started talking. She first snorted with disdain, then glared at her, as if she didn't want to hear any nonsense.

The glimmer of hope that rose in Shen Shuhe's heart was instantly shattered by these turbid yet sharp, cold and disgusted eyes, with no possibility of being put back together.

She relaxed completely, looking at He Wanrong expressionlessly, listening to her words -

"How dare you ask me? What? You think that since I don't know, you can just talk nonsense in front of me and frame someone else to excuse yourself, right?"

Shen Shuhe was calm and just looked at the blushing He Wanrong.

Seeing her silence, the old lady sneered: "What a pity, I have found out everything that happened!"

"Are you trying to say that Xiaoyu or Song Qingyin teamed up to harm you?"

Hearing this, Shen Shuhe's eyes flickered slightly.

The day before yesterday, Pei Leyao and Pei Jingmo did not mention Xiaoyu when they confronted her. I guess he was afraid of being held accountable, so he kept it secret.

Unexpectedly, in order to protect Song Qingyin, he took the initiative to tell He Wanrong.

Shen Shuhe snorted coldly.

Xiaoyu really likes her.

Although Shen Shuhe showed no emotional fluctuations on the surface, He Wanrong still caught the fluctuation in her eyes.

She suddenly knocked on the floor with her cane, and the dull sound brought Shen Shuhe back to his senses.

When I looked up, I saw He Wanrong's even more contemptuous expression.

"Chen Shuhe, what can I say about you? Over the years, I never realized that you are so narrow-minded!" He Wanrong slammed the floor again, and the "bang" sound made Peiyi's shoulders tremble, which showed that the old lady was very angry.

"Xiaoyu is your own son, why are you still arguing with him? He was in a bad mood and was playing with you. If he pushed you into the river, wouldn't it be fine if you just got up? Why are you trying to get revenge for such a small matter?!"

"You pushed Song Qingyin into the lake, didn't you?" He Wanrong said with certainty, "Oh, you just want to use this incident to embarrass Song Qingyin and Xiaoyu, and use it to criticize Jing Mo and me. You think that our Pei family has been wronged by you, right?"

The old lady gritted her teeth and cursed, "You are such a scheming woman!"

"Are you done?"

"What?" He Wanrong said in one breath but received such a cold question in return.

She was stunned, looking into those dark eyes, as if she had just heard wrongly, "What did you say?"

Shen Shuhe ignored him and spoke to himself: "Since you have finished speaking, I will say a few words too."

"There may be something you don't want to hear. Sorry for offending me." The woman kindly reminded.

He Wanrong thought of her current sharp-tongued appearance, frowned and was about to open her mouth, but this time Shen Shuhe did not give her a chance.

The woman's cold voice sounded immediately.

"Old lady, you don't have to use words to control my mind anymore. I told you last time that I don't buy into the victim-blaming theory."

"I don't think I did anything wrong in this marriage, not before and not now. To be more clear, I was the one who made the trending search, but I don't admit it was my fault."

"you--!"

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet." Shen Shuhe interrupted coldly.

He Wanrong's eyes widened. She didn't expect that this woman dared to speak to her like that. She was about to scold her, but the next second Shen Shuhe gave her a look. Those eyes were beautiful and usually gentle and polite, which made people feel more favorable towards her.

But at this moment, the tenderness in his eyes had completely faded away, replaced by coldness, depression, and a sense of oppression that made He Wanrong forget what to say for a moment.

Only then was Shen Shuhe able to continue speaking.

"You have your ideas, and I have mine. Ultimately, we have different positions, so I won't explain anything."

The old lady only has the Pei family in her eyes and heart. She has been fighting for the Pei family and protecting several younger generations all her life. What has she done wrong?

Shen Shuhe didn't have the energy to argue in such a situation. No one could convince the other after arguing, and it was a complete waste of each other's time.

Shen Shuhe finally said: “So, old lady, I will not accept all the scolding and blame you said today, and I will pretend that I didn’t hear it.”

"From now on, if you find me annoying, I can stay out of your sight and you don't have to pay attention to me."

"But I hope you won't interfere with everything I do from now on."

This is a good situation for both parties.

I haven't paid any attention to her for five years, so please keep doing it.
