Chapter 295 Mrs. Gu Knows the Truth
Already seething with anger, Shen Youliang's temper flared up when his daughter-in-law questioned him to his face. However, out of consideration for the reputation of the head of the Shen family, he only glared at Gu Zhiyuan fiercely and remained silent.
Madam Shen, however, did not possess the same level of patience as Shen Youliang.
She said, "If you're ashamed, then don't marry into our Shen family."
Who are we doing this for?
If you weren't so useless and couldn't keep Asu, why would we have bothered going to Hong Kong?
"Actually, you should blame yourself for all of this."
Madam Shen's outburst left Gu Zhiyuan speechless. She had never imagined that someone could turn the tables on her like that.
She hadn't even blamed the Shen family for not raising their son well enough, causing Shen Mingsu to have someone else in his heart, yet the Shen family was blaming her for not being able to keep her husband.
All she could count was that she had met Shen Mingsu less than five times, including today. Shouldn't they have agreed to maintain the reputation of both families after their arranged marriage and whirlwind romance?
The Shen family failed to do this first, so what right do they have to blame her?
Gu Zhiyuan's eyes immediately reddened, and she couldn't help but cry out, "You guys have gone too far! I'm going back to find my brother and my sister-in-law!"
She turned and ran away without a care in the world. Shen Youliang was so angry that the veins on his temples throbbed. He felt that there was yet another shameful thing that had happened to the Shen family.
He was so angry that he didn't react for a moment and didn't stop Gu Zhiyuan immediately.
Shen Hanzhi saw this and frowned deeply. He whispered a reminder to Shen Mingsu, wanting Shen Mingsu to coax the person, but Shen Mingsu stood there like a piece of wood, not moving at all.
As for Shen Han, as the uncle, he couldn't bring himself to humbly coax his niece-in-law. So they just watched helplessly as Gu Zhiyuan drove away.
Shen Hanzhi knew that Shen Ying's actions would inevitably anger Shen Youliang, so he intentionally tried to avoid Shen Youliang.
He was just about to make up an excuse to go home, but Shen Youliang had already seen through his intentions and insisted on calling him to his house.
As soon as the two brothers sat down in the living room, Shen Youliang launched into a tirade without any preamble: "Second brother, look at what your daughter has done. Even if your sister-in-law has done something inappropriate, we're still family. Why can't she talk about it at home? Is it necessary to post it online and make a laughing stock for everyone? She doesn't respect Shen Jia's reputation at all!"
Shen Hanzhi said, "She has already severed ties with me and Ashu, so why would she care about the Shen family's reputation? Since my elder brother brought this up himself, I should also say something to him."
This is clearly Ming Su's dishonest behavior. You could have just gone to Hong Kong to find Ming Su, but why did you have to drag Ying Ying into it and cause her trouble?
Okay, if it was just a verbal argument, we can say that Yingying was being unreasonable, but what about you taking her child on the spot?
Thankfully, the child wasn't lost. If the child had been lost, how would Yingying live her life?
Shen Hanzhi and Shen Youliang had lived peacefully together their entire lives, and he originally didn't want to have any conflict with Shen Youliang.
But once this precedent was set, Shen Hanzhi couldn't hold back.
He had always thought that Shen Ying was his daughter and should listen to him.
He also forced Shen Ying into an arranged marriage and made her do things she didn't want to do. It wasn't until Shen Ying broke off her relationship with him and left the Shen family for two years without returning that Shen Hanzhi gradually began to regret it.
In addition, with Yu Shu threatening him with divorce from time to time, Shen Hanzhi is now intentionally trying to repair his relationship with Shen Ying.
"What do you mean? Would I, as her uncle, harm her? She recklessly exposed the matter online, causing our Shen family to lose so much face, and now it's my fault?"
Hanzhi, what's wrong with you lately? That Shen Ying is spouting nonsense online, are you really not going to do anything about it?
"He's really something now, not even answering my calls, his uncle. You need to contact her right now and make her delete that video," Shen Youliang said.
Shen Hanzhi gave a bitter smile: "Big brother, it's not that I don't want to care, it's that I can't. Yingying has cut off contact with me, and I can't reach her at all."
If you really can't stand it, just ask someone to remove the trending topic.
"Just because I removed the trending topic myself, does that mean everything is fine? You need to make her apologize to me online and explain that it was a misunderstanding, that she was just being petty. Only in this way can you undo the damage done to the Shen family."
"We've both dedicated our lives to the Shen family, and we can't let your daughter ruin it all." Shen Youliang stopped getting angry as he finished speaking, and began to earnestly try to win back Shen Hanzhi's attention to the Shen family.
Shen Hanzhi said, "You can't say that. The recent troubles in the Shen family all started because of my eldest brother's family. Anyway, I don't think it's Yingying's fault."
Yingying is a sensible child; let her vent her anger, and she deleted the video herself.
Or, as I said, once the trending topic is removed, the matter will be forgotten in a few days.
These are all minor matters. Compared to this, your family affairs are the most important. If you don't quickly bring your daughter-in-law back, it will affect the cooperation between the Shen and Gu families, and that will be a major issue.
Although Shen Youliang was very dissatisfied with Shen Hanzhi's attitude, feeling that his younger brother had also slipped out of his control, he couldn't deny Shen Hanzhi's words. Now, the most important thing was to coax Gu Zhiyuan back.
So Shen Youliang went to Shen Mingsu and said, "I don't want to talk to you now, you've caused so much trouble for the family. Go and coax your wife back right now."
Shen Mingsu resolutely refused to go, and no matter what Shen Youliang said, he refused to acknowledge Gu Zhiyuan as his wife.
Shen Youliang then turned his gaze to Madam Shen: "If he won't go, you go."
"What did you say? You want me, an elder, to coax my daughter-in-law? That won't do, I'm not going!" Madam Shen was furious and began to question Shen Youliang's decision in a shrill voice.
Shen Youliang said, "If you don't go, who will? You're the one who drove him away with your insults. I don't care what method you use, just go and coax him back right now."
Before the Shen family could even decide who should appease Gu Zhiyuan, they received a call from the Gu family.
It was Mrs. Gu calling.
Gu Zhiyuan was in a car accident and is now in the hospital.
Upon hearing this news, Shen Youliang dropped his phone to the ground.
He only felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.
What could have been a simple matter of appeasement has escalated to this point, and it seems unlikely that the Gu family will let it go unpunished.
Shen Youliang was completely disregarding Shen Hanzhi at this point and quickly called Madam Shen to go to the hospital together.
Before leaving, he thought for a moment, and in a flash of inspiration, he suddenly had an idea. He grabbed Shen Mingsu and whipped him with a belt.
After beating the person until their skin was torn and bleeding, they took a few more photos before leaving.
Regardless of Gu Zhiyuan's current situation, an explanation must be given to the Gu family. Rather than letting Shen Ming complain and say the wrong thing, which would only provoke a conflict between the Shen and Gu families, it would be better to beat him so badly that he can't get out of bed. This would save a lot of trouble.
At the hospital, Gu Zhiyuan was unconscious and was taken to the operating room. Mr. Gu was away on a business trip, and only Mrs. Gu could accompany her now.
After Mrs. Gu called the Shen family, she sat in the corridor waiting for news from Gu Zhiyuan. At this time, a nurse came over to ask Mrs. Gu to sign some papers and reassured her, "You are Miss Gu's friend, right? Don't worry, I just heard from the doctor that Miss Gu was not seriously injured and only needs this minor surgery."
Mrs. Gu realized that the nurse seemed to know Gu Zhiyuan very well, but Gu Zhiyuan was always healthy and rarely got sick. Out of concern, Mrs. Gu still asked, "Did Yuanyuan come to the hospital often before?"
"Yes, Miss Gu often comes to the hospital to visit her sister-in-law. Miss Gu is very easy to get along with and has a good relationship with everyone here. Don't worry, we will definitely take extra care of Miss Gu." The nurse answered Mrs. Gu's question casually while looking at the medical record.
Mrs. Gu could no longer hear what the other person said after that; the words "sister-in-law" kept echoing in her ears.
Gu's parents passed away early, leaving only Gu Zhishuo and Gu Zhiyuan, a brother and sister, in the family.
Gu Zhiyuan only has one older brother, Gu Zhishuo, right?
Shouldn't she be Gu Zhiyuan's sister-in-law?
Who is the person Gu Zhiyuan frequently visits at the hospital?
"Oh, right, I haven't asked you yet. Are you Miss Gu's friend? Miss Gu had an accident. Is Mr. Gu too busy to come? Should I call her sister-in-law? She's in this hospital." The nurse was perhaps genuinely kind to Gu Zhiyuan, or perhaps she was just naturally enthusiastic, as she continued talking on and on.
But now Mrs. Gu's mind is even more confused.
She deliberately mentioned Mr. Gu, which means that the sister-in-law of Gu Zhiyuan that she mentioned is indeed related to Gu Zhishuo.
Mrs. Gu's nails dug into her palms. She forced herself to remain calm and smiled at the young nurse: "Zhiyuan has always been sensible. She certainly doesn't want her family to worry, so there's no need to inform her... Sister-in-law, right?"
Madam Gu paused for a full moment before uttering the words "sister-in-law".
Honestly, she wanted the nurse to call that woman over so she could see what kind of person Gu Zhiyuan's sister-in-law was.
But reason told her that she absolutely could not alert the enemy now.
Her marriage to Gu Zhishuo was also a business arrangement. If Gu Zhishuo really cheated on her and their relationship reached the point where divorce was inevitable, then she would have to find a way to collect evidence and try to bring the most benefits to the Zheng family.
Mrs. Gu said, "By the way, may I ask which ward Yuanyuan's sister-in-law is in? Now that I'm here, I should go and visit her."
The nurse, caught off guard, immediately gave Mrs. Gu her room number: 405.
Mrs. Gu nodded and quickly moved on to talking about Gu Zhiyuan's situation, seemingly showing no interest in that woman at all.
