Chapter 190 I Will Marry No One But Her in This Life
Shen Hanzhi hadn't even had a chance to leave for the meeting when the Zhao family arrived.
Madam Zhao arrived with Zhao Chengmo in a menacing manner, and Shen Han knew there was no way to avoid them, so she had no choice but to have them invited in.
Yu Shu went out to look for Shen Ying but did not return. He gave the housekeeper a wink and had someone call Yu Shu back to entertain the guests.
Then, he politely asked, "Madam Zhao, Young Master Zhao, what brings you here?"
"Mr. Shen, do you really not know? It's all over the internet now. Your daughter had a child outside of marriage while still bound to the Zhao family. Now it's causing quite a stir. Are you trying to make the Zhao family look like easy targets?"
Madam Zhao went straight to the point, demanding an explanation, which gradually darkened Shen Hanzhi's expression.
But even at times like this, he still had to put on a smiling face for Madam Zhao: "What child? This is just a misunderstanding."
Yingying was just being stubborn with me, deliberately causing a scene outside. I've already sent someone to look for her, and she'll be back soon. You'll see when you see Yingying; she doesn't look like she's ever had a child at all.
Mrs. Zhao was almost amused by Shen Hanzhi's explanation: "Mr. Shen, do you think the Zhao family are all fools? I'm not here to waste my breath on you. My Zhao family can't afford a daughter-in-law like this."
Because of the impact your daughter has had on the Zhao family, I…”
"Mom, who said I was breaking off my engagement with Shen Ying? I will marry no one but her in this life. You personally chose her for me, so you can't go back on your word now." Before Madam Zhao could finish her threatening words, Zhao Chengmo interrupted her.
Everyone present was stunned by Zhao Chengmo's resolute attitude.
Madam Zhao was the first to react, and immediately slapped Zhao Chengmo across the face: "What nonsense are you spouting here? What right do you have to speak at a time like this?"
"That Shen Ying, she's already married to you, yet she's had another man's child outside of the marriage agreement, and you still want to marry her? Have you even considered the reputation of the Zhao family?"
Ignoring Madam Zhao's anger, Zhao Chengmo once again firmly stated, "Either I marry Shen Ying, or I remain unmarried for life. You decide."
Shen Hanzhi finally realized what was going on and immediately said with a smile, "In-law, as you can see, these two children have a good relationship. They should be allowed to resolve their own issues. We shouldn't make decisions for others."
Shen Hanzhi was genuinely happy at this moment. When the Zhao family came to his door, he thought the marriage was over.
Who would have thought that after all the darkness, a new path would open up? Shen Ying had no idea that she had won the favor of Young Master Zhao so much. This was truly a wonderful surprise.
"You make it sound nice, but what your daughter has done is unacceptable to me. I will not allow her to enter the Zhao family. You'd better settle things properly and see what you have to offer to compensate my Zhao family for our losses," said Madam Zhao.
Shen Han knew: "We're all family, why make things so awkward? Didn't you hear what your son said? Marrying my Yingying is better than him remaining single for life, isn't it?"
Zhao Chengmo's words unknowingly put Shen Hanzhi in a superior position, and now he could turn the tables and threaten Madam Zhao.
Just as the two were arguing and at a stalemate, Yu Shu returned with Shen Ying.
Shen Ying searched outside all night but couldn't find Xiao Shuijing.
Upon hearing that the Zhao family had come to her door, she felt it would be better to pry the whereabouts of Xiao Shuijing directly from Shen Hanzhi, so she returned immediately.
Shen Mingsu stayed outside to continue helping her search for Xiao Shuijing.
As soon as Shen Ying entered the room, everyone's eyes turned to her.
While in the car, Shen Ying forced herself to regain her composure. She looked directly at Zhao Chengmo and gave him a wink. Zhao Chengmo then came over and loosely took Shen Ying's arm, saying, "Mom, you don't need to say anything. I will marry Yingying."
And Uncle Shen, where did you hide Yingying's child? Quickly return the child to Yingying.
Ultimately, this is a matter between the two of us, and it's none of your business to interfere.
"What did you say? You not only want to marry her, but you also want to raise her bastard child?" Madam Zhao screamed, her vision blurred and she almost fainted.
Zhao Chengmo continued, "I already told Yingying that Yingying's child is my child. Uncle Shen, please give the child back to us immediately."
Madam Zhao wailed incessantly, while Shen Hanzhi stared in disbelief.
Does the Zhao family really like Yingying that much?
How could someone say something like that?
Shen Ying also looked at Shen Hanzhi: "Where did you put my child? Give him back to me right now!"
Shen Hanzhi didn't react yet, but Madam Zhao screamed again. She rushed over and pulled Zhao Chengmo aside: "No, I will never allow it. The Zhao family will never agree to you marrying this woman. Come on, come home with me now."
Zhao Chengmo said, "Why shouldn't we be allowed to? Don't forget that it was you who asked me to cultivate a relationship with Yingying. Now that we have a very good relationship, even the Zhao family can't stop my determination to marry her."
Madam Zhao was panting heavily. She cursed Shen Ying again: "You little slut, what kind of bewitching potion did you give my son?"
I'm telling you, don't even think about setting foot in my house. I'll settle this score with you another day.
As she spoke, she pulled Zhao Chengmo with all her might.
Zhao Chengmo half-heartedly agreed, but also firmly declared that he wanted to marry Shen Ying.
It took a full ten minutes before the Zhao mother and son left the Shen family mansion.
Shen Hanzhi looked at Shen Ying: "When did you become so close to that person from the Zhao family?"
"Didn't you tell me to develop feelings for him? You should be happy with this result," Shen Ying said irritably.
Shen Hanzhi still found everything that had happened today unbelievable, so he tentatively asked, "Your child, he really doesn't mind?"
“He just said it himself, in front of Madam Zhao, so what else do you have to doubt? Give me back my daughter right now, she’s still sick!” Shen Ying said.
She had no intention of wasting time with Shen Hanzhi here.
When Xiao Shuijing returned to the capital with her, she had just taken her medicine.
It's still unknown whether it has reignited.
Moreover, Crystal has never been away from her for this long since she was born.
I don't know who Shen Hanzhi found, or whether she breastfed her in time.
Just thinking about how Little Crystal might have been wronged in places she couldn't see made Shen Ying's heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.
Yu Shu quickly added, "I've seen Young Master Zhao's attitude. Yingying's engagement definitely still stands. What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the child back."
Shen Hanzhi hesitated for a moment before instructing the housekeeper to take care of it. Only then did Shen Ying realize that the child had not been sent to the orphanage at all, but had been placed in one of his own houses.
Shen Hanzhi had two plans in mind.
First, tell her that the child has been sent away, hoping to get her to focus on her life. If that doesn't work, you can take a step back and threaten her with the child.
When Shen Ying looked at Shen Hanzhi again, a sarcastic smile appeared on her face. She said, "Dad, I'm your own daughter. How could you use all these schemes on me?"
Shen Hanzhi said in a cold voice, "You were the one who disobeyed first, Yingying. Be good and marry into the Zhao family properly. Otherwise, I can give this child back to you now, and I can take it into your arms later."
A chilling sensation crept over Shen Ying's entire body.
Shen Ying looked at Shen Hanzhi coldly, her eyes filled with stubbornness, but even more so with resentment.
She could tell from Shen Hanzhi's tone that he had never regarded Xiao Shuijing as a member of the Shen family.
Shen Ying didn't reply, but sat quietly in the living room and waited. About half an hour later, the housekeeper brought the child back.
Shen Ying took the child from her. The burning temperature of the little crystal body startled her. Without thinking, she screamed, "Someone, get the car ready, we're going to the hospital!"
Yu Shu was the first to react. She ran to the bedroom, grabbed a blanket, and followed him out. Only Shen Hanzhi remained as steady as ever, but at this critical moment, Yu Shu had no mood to argue with him.
After giving Xiao Shuijing an IV drip, and hearing her breathing gradually stabilize, Shen Ying was finally able to catch her breath.
Yu Shu asked, "Yingying, what are you planning to do next? Why don't you wait until the baby is a little better, and I'll think of something for you? You should go back to Gangcheng."
Shen Ying said, "Keeping away all the time isn't a solution. Didn't Zhao Chengmo say he would marry me? Once Xiao Shuijing is better, I'll go find him."
Yu Shu was startled: "You really want to go to the Zhao family? That Mrs. Zhao is not someone to be trifled with. Yingying, listen to your mother, let's not suffer this injustice."
Shen Ying shook her head and didn't say anything more. This was something she had agreed upon with Zhao Chengmo a long time ago, and Zhao Chengmo had already helped her as promised. She had no intention of going back on her word.
Upon receiving the news, Shen Mingsu also rushed over.
When Shen Mingsu saw Xiao Shuijing lying on the hospital bed, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that we've found her."
Sister, after I heard the news, I tried to take those news articles down, but no matter how I tried, the exact same entries would quickly replace them. There must be someone tampering with this.
"I think... Sister, now that the child has been found, why don't you give him a call and tell him to stop?"
It's quite clear who is willing to help Shen Ying so much in this matter, and who is also hiding their true intentions.
When Yu Shu heard that the two siblings had something to talk about, she stood up and said, "Yingying, you talk to Ming first. I'll go buy you a bowl of millet porridge to calm your nerves. You've been out all night and haven't eaten anything. That won't do."
After the ward door closed, Shen Ying said, "There's no need for that. From now on, whatever he does is none of my business."
The fact that Jin Yanzhou helped push the trending topic online means he knew about the matter. But even with his daughter's serious disappearance, he couldn't leave his Jin family home. She had no hope left for this man.
