Chapter 171 Out of Guilt
Lu Hui didn't give him the face at all, "My daughter has been bullied like this, and you still want me to let it go? We are poor and rely on your Shen family to make a living, but it doesn't mean we have no dignity! I admit that you look down on us mother and son, but what right does he have?"
"Just because of the bastard in his sister's belly?"
"Shut up—"
Shen Chengyuan was so angry that he slapped her in the face.
Everyone was shocked.
Lu Hui's hair was all scattered by his slap.
Shen Chengyuan met her desperate gaze, and a trace of panic flashed through his heart.
"Huihui--" Pain and humiliation intertwined together, and Lu Hui felt that she could hardly breathe at this moment.
She had followed Shen Chengyuan since she was a teenager, even though she knew it was wrong for them to be together.
But in this era, if she didn’t rely on Shen Chengyuan, she didn’t dare to imagine what kind of life she would live.
So when Shen Chengyuan wanted her to marry Shen Nan, she was actually willing.
The decision-making power on many matters is not in her hands at all.
Although Ana Shen is a fool, he treats her wholeheartedly.
He was the kind of person who could spend a hundred dollars on her if he had a hundred dollars, but Shen Chengyuan, he had ten thousand dollars, but he could only get ten dollars.
Gradually, Shen Nan's sincerity touched her.
Perhaps out of guilt, she was willing to get pregnant with Shen Nan's child, which gave birth to her eldest son, Shen Jiang.
Shen Chengyuan was quite doting on her, and knowing that he couldn't marry her, he treated her very well in terms of material things, and she even accepted two gold bracelets.
In contrast, Qiu Lian had empty hands and was beaten from time to time.
Lu Hui is very smart. She knows how to act coquettishly and play hard to get, which makes Shen Chengyuan feel itchy and he loves her even more.
So she never thought that Shen Chengyuan would fight with her in public.
Lu Hui bit her lips tightly and didn't want to say another word. She hugged her little daughter tightly in her arms and turned around resolutely.
Shen Chengyuan was completely panicked this time.
She couldn't even pretend anymore and stepped forward to block Lu Hui's way. "Calm down, I...I shouldn't have done that. It's my fault. Please don't leave, okay?"
Qiu Lian was still immersed in shock, but when she saw her man actually using this tone and gesture to coax his niece, her face suddenly turned dark.
In the past, she only thought that Shen Chengyuan treated Lu Hui as his own daughter. She only had one son, and she was happy that her husband was willing to love another daughter.
But now, she truly realized that something was wrong.
Shen Nanfeng, who was standing in the distance, was already used to it, and his eyes were cold.
Lu Hui shook off Shen Chengyuan's hand, "Captain Shen's family is too high for me to marry into. I will raise my child by myself, so please get out of the way!"
“Hui Hui…”
Shen Chengyuan frowned and refused to give in.
Behind them, Qiu Lian was holding back her anger and yelled at them in a sarcastic tone, "Lu Hui, your uncle is the elder. Even if he is wrong, you dare not give him a cold shoulder in front of the guests. How can you be so disrespectful!"
She straightened her back. Even if Lu Hui really had an affair with Shen Chengyuan, as long as she was around, Lu Hui would never be able to show up!
What's more, she is a widow, and there are many ways to deal with her.
The tears in Lu Hui's eyes fell one by one, as if hitting Shen Chengyuan's heart.
Her pitiful look made Shen Chengyuan almost go forward and hug her.
Shen Nanfeng took the opportunity to continue the conversation: “My mother is right, cousin, if you just take Xiaojuan away like this, people who don’t know will think that our family bullied her. We adopted her in the first place for your sake and to take care of you.”
"As for what happened today, it was nothing more than a fight between children. You shouldn't have intervened." He had already thought about it. Instead of letting Lu Hui and Shen Chengyuan cheat on each other behind his back, it would be better to keep her in front of him so that he could know her movements better and control them.
Anyway, as long as she lives in the Shen family for one day, unless they have a falling out, Lu Hui will have to grit her teeth and swallow many things.
Her identity is there.
A widow, living under someone else's roof.
No matter how much Shen Chengyuan protected her, in this heavy rainy day, when the road was blocked, she would have to die in the Shen family.
"As an elder, my father was wrong to hit you, but he has admitted his mistake. If you continue to be stubborn, you are being immature."
After Shen Nanfeng's words, he directly pushed all the mistakes today onto Lu Hui.
To Shen Chengyuan, this was also a reminder that he had done enough, and if Lu Hui continued to make trouble, it was just her own fault.
After all, Shen Chengyuan was used to being the captain, and he had been high and mighty for a long time. If he wanted him to whisper to others to coax them, he could do it with a few words, but he would lose patience if he said more.
Lu Hui understood this logic, but did she deserve to swallow the loss she suffered today?
Just then, Lin Mengyao walked out of the house. She and her mother had heard the noise outside clearly from inside.
They stayed away on purpose because they saw Lin Xiaojun was making a fuss.
No matter what, the Shen family would not fight with a child. Would they still be able to save face if it got out?
Lin Mengyao looked down at the beautiful figure in the yard and sneered, "Sister-in-law, what you said is really chilling."
"I didn't agree to adopt your daughter at first, but I compromised in the end. Even if it gets out, I won't be at fault at all!"
"I'm pregnant, so there's no reason for me to raise someone else's child. Because of this, you accused me of being pregnant with a bastard. You're also a mother, how can you say such vicious words?"
He bombarded Lu Hui with three or five sentences, leaving her unable to refute.
She even became an unreasonable and vicious woman in front of Shen Chengyuan.
Lu Hui was truly isolated and helpless at this moment.
She squatted down, hugged her daughter and burst into tears.
This action caused Lin Mengyao and her son to roll their eyes, and they whispered, "Cry, cry, cry, just cry, it's like we bullied her."
Shen Chengyuan lowered his eyes and said in a dignified tone, “Stop talking, what’s there to quarrel about as a family!”
As he spoke, he bent down and pulled Lu Hui up, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house."
At this point, Lu Hui could only go down the stairs.
In the yard, several people watched Shen Chengyuan's protection with cold eyes. Lin Mengyao raised her eyebrows. That Lu Huike was really good at pretending. Shedding a few tears made the old man so distressed.
But this is just the beginning.
Lin Mengyao would never give Lu Hui and Shen Yujuan any chance. The entire Shen family's property can only belong to her!
The next day, Lu Hui stayed in the house all day, and Shen Chengyuan brought the food to her.
Qiu Lian had already seen the clues, but due to the lack of direct evidence, it was not easy for her to run directly to Shen Chengyuan to confront him.
It would do her no good to fall out with her.
Shen Nanfeng did not tell his mother what he knew. He was worried about the temper of the artillery commander Qiu Lian, and was afraid that she would go and make a scene immediately.
It will be bad.
Several people have their own ulterior motives and want what they want, but their temporary goal is to make Lu Hui's life difficult.
