Shen Yuan was overjoyed when he received his daughter's call, so much so that his hand holding the phone trembled slightly: "Is...is it Qianqian?"
“Dad, it’s me,” Shen Qianqian replied softly.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Yuan was filled with emotion. Since that absurd night, his once happy and fulfilling home had vanished without a trace. His beloved wife had divorced him and left, and even his daughter, whom he had cherished since childhood, was now irreconcilably opposed to him.
This was the first time Qianqian had been willing to call herself since she went to the countryside as an educated youth.
Self.
Shen Yuan was filled with countless emotions.
“Qianqian, come back to the city. Dad will help you find a way to get a job.” Shen Yuan said his plan. He had been trying to find a way to transfer his daughter back since the day he learned that she had gone to the countryside, but his daughter had refused him several times.
Now that his daughter had taken the initiative to call him, he naturally couldn't miss this opportunity. He was determined to persuade her to come back.
"Dad, I don't want to come back for now," Shen Qianqian replied.
Shen Yuan had anticipated his daughter's response from the beginning, but what he didn't expect was her next sentence.
"I'm married, and I need to live a good life with my husband at home," Shen Qianqian continued.
"What?!"
When Shen Yuan heard the words "I'm married," his mind went completely blank.
How could he not know his daughter got married?
My daughter got married in the countryside. How can this be allowed?
Shen Yuan originally came from the village, and he knew all too well how hard life was there.
That's why he's been trying to persuade his daughter to come home and not stay in the city all these years. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as planned, not to mention that his daughter is now married.
Upon hearing the tone of the voice on the other end, Shen Qianqian sensed something was wrong. When she was preparing to marry Lu Yunzhi, she had written a letter home, but no one replied. At the time, she assumed her father had started a new family and completely forgotten about her.
Now that I see, my father had absolutely no idea about this.
Shen Qianqian asked, "Dad, I wrote you a letter when I was preparing for my wedding, didn't you receive it?"
Shen Yuan racked his brains but couldn't recall his daughter sending him any letters. He then asked, "Besides sending me letters, have you sent me anything else?"
"I've called home so many times, but unfortunately, they always hang up on me." Shen Qianqian
Back.
Upon hearing the word "home," Shen Yuan immediately connected the matter with the woman at home. He then asked Shen Qianqian, "Since you went to the countryside, I've sent you many things. Have you received them?"
Shen Qianqian thought for a moment and replied, "I did receive them at the educated youth settlement, but the amount of things sent each time decreased, and then there was no news at all."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes practically blazed with fury. He knew without a doubt what had happened; the things he had sent to Qianqian had likely been embezzled by his wife and used to support her family.
Speaking of this woman, Shen Yuan felt a nameless anger rising in his heart.
The woman was Huang Ying, and they met at a friend's dinner party about four years ago.
Huang Ying was brought by Zhao Ling, Shen Yuan's childhood friend. At the time, they only said that Huang Ying was Zhao's...
Ling High School friends
Shen Yuan has never been a heavy drinker; he usually only drinks half a glass when he goes out to eat. But that day, for some reason, half a glass of wine made him dizzy.
When he woke up again, he and Huang Ying were lying in the same bed. Afterwards, he gave Huang Ying some money, and Huang Ying took birth control pills in front of him.
Just a year later, Huang Ying came to Shen Yuan's door with her child, demanding an explanation.
Shen Yuan finally realized that Huang Ying had meticulously planned everything to force her way into the Shen family. Recalling these past events, Shen Yuan felt a surge of anger rising within him.
He managed to maintain his composure, and after hanging up the phone with Shen Qianqian, he slammed his fist on the table. The pain from his hand spread to his heart, but it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
Shen Yuan secretly vowed that he must find this woman and get to the bottom of this!
He rushed home in a flurry, kicked open the door, and saw Huang Ying lying on the sofa, lazily watching TV.
My daughter suffers in the village, while she enjoys life here?
Shen Yuan's anger flared up even more.
Huang Ying glanced sideways and saw Shen Yuan return home. She quickly got up, swayed her hips, and went over to hug his arm: "Why are you back so early today?"
Her voice sounded as if it had been soaked in honey water, making it sound exceptionally sweet.
In the past, even if Shen Yuan disliked Huang Ying's way of speaking, he wouldn't say it out loud. After all, she was now his wife, and he felt he should give her that much respect.
Unfortunately, after what happened today, Shen Yuan now looks at Huang Ying with the feeling that she is harboring a criminal.
A wicked woman with evil intentions
"Do I need your permission to come back?" Shen Yuan retorted, then added coldly, "I think we won't need to buy any more sweets for the house; just hearing your voice is sickening enough!"
Listening to Shen Yuan's sarcastic remarks, Huang Ying began to silently reflect on whether she had done something wrong yesterday that displeased Shen Yuan.
Although she has now married into the family and her son has become Shen Yuan's only son, unfortunately, she has not yet completely taken control of everything in the Shen family...
What she has now is far from enough!
Huang Ying composed herself, still smiling as she held Shen Yuan's arm. After he sat down, she quickly massaged his shoulders and legs, asking, "Old Shen, did I make you angry again?"
Shen Yuan is straightforward and outspoken; he never keeps a secret. Sure enough, this time, Huang Ying only asked one question, and Shen Yuan immediately blurted it out.
However, Huang Ying soon regretted asking that question.
"I'm asking you. Where did you send all the things I asked you to send to Qianqian?" Shen Yuan questioned.
Huang Ying: "Why did she receive almost nothing?"
"I sent them all to her." Huang Ying pretended to be confused and said, "Could it be that someone in the village stole them? Old Shen, you know how many people in those poor, remote places are sneaky."
Shen Yuan sneered: "So you think my daughter is framing you? She clearly lost the thing herself, but she's accusing you of hiding it?"
Huang Ying almost bit her tongue in nervousness: "No... that's not what I meant." She knew in her heart how much Shen Yuan cared about that brat!
Therefore, when she learned that Shen Qianqian had a boyfriend and was getting married in the countryside, she immediately kept the news to herself.
The goal was to ensure that once everything was in place, Shen Qianqian, because of her marriage and children, would be confined to a remote village for the rest of her life, while her son could stay in the city and enjoy everything the Shen family had to offer.
Unfortunately, Shen Qianqian, who usually dislikes complaining to Shen Yuan about these things, unexpectedly spoke up this time.
Shen Yuan stared intently at her, convinced that she was the mastermind behind everything. He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and said, "Huang Ying, let's get a divorce."
