In the suburbs, the Sheng family manor
In the study on the second floor, Sheng Ju frowned as he puffed out a cigarette, his face looking extremely pale.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully!
He didn't turn around; he knew without even looking who would open the door like that.
Chen Juan couldn't help but get angry when she saw him smoking again.
"The doctor said you can't smoke, and you still do! What did I tell you earlier? I told you to go to the small Buddhist shrine in the back and pray with me, why didn't you come?! The young one is disobedient, and the old one is making trouble for me too, are you two trying to drive me to my death?!"
A son grows up and no longer listens to his mother; when a son grows up, he no longer obeys his mother.
If even her husband doesn't listen to her, she'll be furious!
Sheng Ju frowned deeply and said irritably, "What's all the fuss about? It's just a few cigarettes! Your son upsets you, go deal with him if you dare, why are you taking it out on me?!"
Chen Juan was a paper tiger who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing her husband lose his temper, she dared not raise her voice any further.
She walked up to him, hugged his arm, and whispered plaintively, "I'm so angry I could faint, my heart is clenching."
Sheng Ju sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice, "I'm not much better off than you. I barely slept last night."
Ever since Lin Huier arrived at their doorstep crying and wailing with her pregnant belly, the elderly couple have been unable to eat or sleep properly, and haven't had a single day of peace.
Chen Juan scolded him with exasperation: "How many times have I told him that if our Sheng family really wants to choose a wife, she must be from a good family and a good socialite, carefully selected from thousands of others! Where did he listen to that?! What kind of people are the Lin family! That woman is an illegitimate child born to a disreputable woman! And she's Sheng Xuan's second-hand goods—how can he be so stupid!"
"He's more than just stupid! He's completely brainless!" Sheng Ju roared. "What kind of status does our Sheng family have now? A woman like that would only tarnish our family's reputation! Don't even think about it! If he dares to disobey again, I—I'll disown him as my son!"
Chen Juan became agitated upon hearing this, "Don't talk nonsense! He's our only son. If you don't acknowledge him, who will we rely on when we get old?"
Although she was angry with her son, she still felt sorry for him, especially after being ignored by the old man for several days. Her heart began to soften.
"Honey, our son is just acting crazy because he's temporarily possessed. How can you bear to push your own son away? Isn't that right?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ju gave a cold snort.
"Whether he listens or not, I'll say it again: if the child belongs to the Sheng family, we will naturally love him dearly. As for that woman, she can forget about ever stepping into the Sheng family!"
"I don't like that woman either. She has no manners at all!" Chen Juan snorted. "When the baby is born, I'll just throw her some money to get rid of her."
Sheng Ju frowned and said in a low voice, "The problem is that the Lin family won't let go and is holding that brat by the nose!"
When the son first heard that Lin Huier was pregnant, he flew into a rage and shouted that the child was definitely not his.
To everyone's surprise, the woman produced disgusting evidence, forcing the son to fall silent.
At first, he even considered not having the child, but then he thought that since it was his first child, he persuaded the two elderly people to agree.
If the child truly belongs to the Sheng family, then the couple will definitely accept him. Therefore, they have clearly stated their position: as long as the DNA test confirms the child's identity, the Sheng family will acknowledge him.
Who knew that the Lin family would still pester their son, foolishly trying to arrange some kind of marriage alliance!
