Chapter 187 Demanding an Explanation from the Jin Family
When Shen Ying heard Jin Yanzhou's promise again, a clear panic flashed in her eyes, especially when her gaze fell on the Shen family's driver; deep in her pupils, there was more unease.
Whether Jin Yanzhou gives it to her or not is no longer meaningful to her. From the moment she returned to the capital, it meant that she would not be able to wait any longer.
Jin Yanzhou closed the car door himself. As Shen Ying watched his figure grow smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, her eyes welled up with tears, and even the hand holding Xiao Shuijing trembled slightly.
Driver Lao Xu said, "Miss, the master has been waiting for you at home for a long time. You should go back and think about how to explain things to him."
Shen Ying's face was numb. She didn't respond to Lao Xu's words, but just kept looking down at the little crystal in her arms with affection.
The car finally stopped at the Shen family mansion, where Shen Hanzhi and Shen Ying's mother, Yu Shu, were already waiting at the door.
From the moment Shen Ying got out of the car, Shen Hanzhi didn't give her a kind look. Yu Shu came forward and said, "This must be little crystal. She's so cute. Yingying, you've been wronged these past few days. I had the maid make some nourishing soup. Come in and have a drink."
As the mother and daughter were talking, Shen Hanzhi had already entered the room. He snorted coldly: "Drink? She still has the nerve to drink? She gave up a perfectly good marriage and ran off to Hong Kong to have children. I spent so much money raising her, just to let her do such shameless things outside?"
"You did it, and you even dared to bring this bastard child home! Shen Ying, how could you be so despicable? This child will never stay in the Shen family. We need to send someone to the orphanage right away."
Shen Han knew his words were harsh, and Shen Ying initially didn't react. But when she heard him say he was going to send Xiao Shuijing away, she finally said, "Dad, Xiao Shuijing is not only my daughter, but also your granddaughter. How can you say such a thing?"
Yu Shu also tried to smooth things over: "Her dad, the child just got back. You should calm down and let her sit down and have a bowl of hot soup."
Shen Han knew: "You still have the mind to drink soup? You've produced such a bastard, how am I supposed to explain this to the Zhao family?"
He reached out to snatch Little Crystal from Shen Ying's arms. Little Crystal was frightened and started crying loudly with her mouth open. Shen Ying didn't care about Shen Hanzhi and quickly comforted her in a soft voice.
Yu Shu also stretched out her hand to protect Shen Ying: "Let's not talk about these things in front of the child. We can talk about the Zhao family's matter later. Let Yingying sit down and rest for a while."
Shen Hanzhi remained unwilling, showing no sign of stopping.
Shen Ying finally managed to calm Xiao Shuijing down. She handed her over to Yu Shu and then said to Shen Hanzhi, "Don't try anything with Xiao Shuijing."
Shen Han knew: "You're so protective of her, but have you ever thought about my Shen family?"
If the Zhao family investigates, how am I supposed to explain this to them?
Shen Ying, I'm giving you two choices today: either let this child's father marry you in style, or abandon this child and keep this a secret for me, and let the Zhao family marry you.
You choose for yourself.
He sat down on the sofa, staring angrily at Shen Ying, wishing he could tear her to pieces to vent his anger.
Shen Ying had already guessed this outcome. After she went to Hong Kong, Shen Hanzhi was eager to bring her back to marry Zhao Chengmo, wanting to take the cooperation with the Zhao family to the next level.
She hid in Hong Kong, where Shen Hanzhi couldn't reach her, but now that she's back, it means she can't hide anymore.
Yu Shu said, "Yingying, your father has already agreed that the child belongs to the Jin family, right? You should rest and calm down first. Later, Mom will take you to the Jin family to demand an explanation."
Compared to Shen Hanzhi's many considerations, Yu Shu was wholeheartedly thinking about Shen Ying. After all, Shen Ying had already given birth to the Jin family's child, so it would be better for the family to be together.
“No need, Mom. Jin Yanzhou and I broke up a long time ago. This child is my own child and has nothing to do with anyone else. No one can take her away from me,” Shen Ying said.
She looked stubbornly at Shen Hanzhi, directly rejecting the second option he had offered her.
Shen Hanzhi's chest heaved with anger. He said, "Good, very good, Shen Ying, you are truly remarkable. Guards, lock this wretched girl up. I want to see when she will come to her senses."
And this bastard child, take him away right now, don't bring him in front of me, he's disgusting to look at.
Upon hearing Shen Hanzhi's instructions, the servants of the Shen family came over to pull Shen Ying away. Shen Ying tried to snatch Xiao Shuijing back from Yu Shu's hands, and she shrieked, "Don't touch my child! You can do whatever you want to me, but don't touch her. She's still young, and she can't be separated from me."
Shen Hanzhi ignored Shen Ying's pleas, and Yu Shu was caught in the middle, feeling extremely distressed, especially when she saw Shen Ying's tear-streaked face.
She coaxed, "Yingying, calm down. Mom will hold the baby for you. Everything will be alright. Be good, Yingying. Don't argue with your dad. Mom will help you persuade him."
Shen Ying was still unwilling. Of course, she was no match for the strength of three or four servants from the Shen family, and she was soon locked in the bedroom.
After Shen Ying left, Yu Shu picked up the child and was about to leave when Shen Hanzhi angrily asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'll go to the Jin family right now and ask them if they want Yingying and this child!"
"If they don't give me an explanation today, even if it means going to the media, I will get justice for my daughter."
In front of Shen Hanzhi, Yu Shu was always gentle, kind, and well-mannered.
Seeing her daughter suffer such injustice, she couldn't control her temper for the first time.
Yingying was sent abroad by her father to study music and art from a young age. Her mother didn't even have the chance to accompany her daughter as she grew up.
After Shen Ying returned home, she wasn't very close to them and didn't talk much. All she knew was that Shen Ying had a boyfriend before, but their relationship was on and off, and not very smooth.
Yu Shu disagreed, but she couldn't bear to go against Shen Ying's wishes. As far as Shen Ying was concerned, that was the best thing.
As long as Shen Ying is well, she doesn't need to pry into Shen Ying's private affairs.
This has been the case for so many years. Even before Shen Hanzhi had the driver pick up Shen Ying from the Jin family today, she didn't know that Shen Ying's child belonged to the Jin family.
But after learning the truth, Yu Shu was filled with uncontrollable rage.
If Shen Ying was talking about a poor young man, it would be understandable if he didn't dare bring him to her.
But the Shen family is not much different from the Jin family, yet that little bastard made her daughter bear his children without any status or identity, and hasn't even made a fuss about it yet. How can Yu Shuneng tolerate this?
Shen Hanzhi blocked Yu Shu's way: "Where are you going? Aren't you embarrassed enough? It's obvious that they look down on your daughter, and you two are rushing to offer yourselves up. Are you trying to trample on the reputation of the Shen family?"
Yu Shu said, "Is face more important than my daughter?"
Shen Hanzhi, it's because you left Yingying alone abroad when she was little, leaving her helpless and alone, that she suffered grievances but didn't tell her family.
Things have come to this point, and you can't escape responsibility yourself. Don't push everything onto Yingying.
She stopped in her tracks, feeling somewhat lost, and hugged the child in her arms tighter and tighter.
Shen Hanzhi was about to lose her temper when a servant outside announced that Young Master Su had arrived.
Shen Hanzhi's expression did not soften at all. He said, "I haven't even settled accounts with him yet, but he came here on his own. If it weren't for him covering up for Shen Ying, saying that Shen Ying and Zhao Chengmo had been together all along, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to this child."
Yu Shu said, "You should say less. Ming Su and Ying Ying have always had a good relationship. Since the child is here, invite her in and talk things over properly."
"Discuss? I have nothing to discuss with him. Tell him to get lost, and this wretched child, keep him away from me."
Little Crystal was already drowsy, but Shen Hanzhi's shout startled her and she started crying again.
No matter how hard Yu Shu tried to coax him, she couldn't.
Shen Mingshou barged in, and upon seeing the situation, he went straight to Yu Shu's side: "Auntie, give me the child, I'll take care of him."
He skillfully picked up Little Crystal and gently patted her back. Before long, Little Crystal's crying gradually subsided, and Yu Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Ming, you're really good. If you hadn't come, Auntie wouldn't know how to comfort her right now."
Shen Hanzhi sneered: "Isn't he amazing? If he hadn't been there to stop it, this bastard wouldn't have been born at all. It's only natural that this bastard is close to him."
Shen Mingsu didn't argue with Shen Hanzhi. He asked, "Where's my sister?"
Shen Hanzhi remained silent, while Yu Shu said, "Yingying is in the bedroom. Asu, tell your aunt the truth, what exactly is going on between Yingying and that guy from the Jin family?"
Does this mean the Jin family disowns Yingying and the child?
Shen Mingsu was at a loss for words.
The Jin family is not the kind of family that doesn't want children. To this day, the Jin family probably doesn't even know that Little Crystal is their bloodline.
Jin Yanzhou kept quiet, but Shen Ying herself was stubborn. She felt that using her child to gain power would damage her dignity, so the relationship remained deadlocked.
Under Yu Shu's attentive gaze, Shen Ming said, "Auntie, my sister broke up with Jin Yanzhou a long time ago. She said that Xiao Shuijing is her child alone."
"Ha, she's got guts. Has she thought about the marriage agreement with the Zhao family? Has she thought about the reputation of my Shen family?"
"She's happy now that she's given birth, but what about us?" Shen Hanzhi roared.
The moment Shen Ying appeared at the airport with her child, he had already suppressed the news. He could keep it from the Zhao family for now, but if it reached Madam Zhao's ears, the Zhao family would not let it go.
Shen Ming said, "I came here on behalf of Young Master Zhao. He wants to meet my sister."
