Qin Yinong, Mu Tingyun and her fiancé Chu Kezhou have been working together for many years and form a solid triangle.
When Qin Yinong had sex with her fiancé behind Mu Tingyun's back, the triangle had already begun to deform.
Chen He wants to be the hand that stirs up the situation behind the scenes, luring these three vicious dogs into a dog-eat-dog fight, tearing off their faces, and making the conspiracy public!
The family gathered together to discuss for more than an hour.
After the meeting, Chen He went to the bathroom and then turned into Zhong Pingting's room.
Zhong Pingting hadn't gone to bed yet. She was wearing glasses and leaning against the bedside table, reading a suspense book.
Zhong Pingting is a devout Sherlock Holmes fan. Whenever she can't sleep, she has to read some detective stories before going to sleep.
Seeing Chen He coming, Zhong Pingting marked the book and closed it.
She patted the bed and said to Chen He, "Chen He, come sit over here. I want to chat with you about family matters."
Chen He had only ever been this close to her grandmother, and she always felt awkward with the elderly Zhong Pingting.
After a slight hesitation, Shen He slowly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Zhong Pingting looked at her with an especially gentle look in her eyes.
"I used to dream of having a daughter, but I wasn't destined to have one."
She could have had a daughter.
But when she was six months pregnant, she saw Shen Zhenkun and Zhang Jingyu naked in the car, which stimulated her and caused her miscarriage to shift, resulting in premature birth.
It was a baby girl who could still move when she was born, but she was so weak and delicate, like a kitten. She struggled a few times in her arms and then died.
"I just watched her die in my arms, and there was nothing I could do."
Zhong Pingting took off her glasses and wiped away her tears.
She sighed, "After that incident, Shen Zhenkun and I became estranged and slept in separate beds."
"Because of shame, he actually broke up with Zhang Jingyu completely. After he came to terms with his feelings, he was quite loving and caring towards the two children."
"But what's the point? My daughter died because of his infidelity. No matter how much he tries to make amends afterwards, can he still bring my daughter back to life?"
Chen He listened quietly, not knowing how to comfort Ms. Zhong.
She remained silent.
Zhong Pingting held Shen He's delicate fingers and said to her softly, "I've been married to Shen Zhenkun for my whole life, and we've been a couple of grudges for half our lives."
"But to your second and third uncles, Shen Zhenkun was a qualified father. They also felt pain because of your younger sister's death."
"But men are naturally empathetic to other men. Over time, they no longer think their fathers are such wicked people."
"Especially when their father passed away, all their resentment and complaints towards him vanished. All that remained was remembrance."
"So when they heard you say you wanted to seek justice for your grandmother, your second and third uncles were unwilling to express their opinions."
Patting the back of Chen He's hand, Zhong Pingting sighed, "Chen He, don't blame your second uncle and third uncle, that old man with hemiplegia. As children, they also have their own standpoints."
Shen He shook her head and said, "I understand the dilemma that Second and Third Uncles face. If it were me, it would be difficult for me too."
"Don't worry, old lady. I won't blame my second and third uncles for this matter."
Hearing this, Zhong Pingting felt relieved. "Chen He, you are really a good girl. Your grandmother has raised you very well."
"If your father could stay with your grandmother all the time, maybe..."
When mentioning the stepson Shen Guanghui, Zhong Pingting was speechless for a moment.
After a while, Zhong Pingting smiled bitterly and said, "Shen Zhenkun and I are both responsible for your father's condition. After all, I'm not his biological mother, so I don't have any expectations for him to become successful."
"I'm just an ordinary woman. I can't treat my step-son the same as my biological child."
It's hard to be a stepmother.
Shen He did not comment on this matter.
Shen He glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost ten o'clock.
"Madam, you asked me to stay tonight because you have something else to say." It was getting late and grandma was still waiting at home. Chen He was eager to go home.
"...something happened."
Zhong Pingting lifted the quilt and got out of bed. The old lady was not in good health, so she had to be careful when getting out of bed.
Shen He quickly gave him a hand.
"Help me to the dressing table." Zhong Pingting held Chen He's arm and walked to the dressing table with her support.
Zhong Pingting sat on the dressing stool, opened the drawer, took out a few A4 papers and two CT images and handed them to Chen He.
"What is this?" Chen He stared at the pile of reports and forgot to take it for a moment.
Zhong Pingting said calmly, "Here is my medical report, please take a look."
Shen He took it hesitantly.
She looked at each picture carefully, and after finishing, she pursed her pink lips and had a heavy expression.
"Advanced lung cancer..."
Looking at the old lady's aged face, Shen He tightly grasped the report and asked in a low voice: "When was it discovered?"
Zhong Pingting said: "More than two months ago."
That is what happened before and after she was reborn.
"I'm taking medication, but I'm already old, and my organs are slowly failing. No medication can save me. The doctor said I can only live another year or two at most."
Shen He vaguely recalled that in the previous life, not long after Shen Sili’s accident, Zhong Pingting was bedridden and died soon after.
It seems that Shen Sili's death triggered Zhong Pingting's early death.
"Chen He, I... want to ask you a favor."
Shen He came back to his senses, and didn't dare to agree easily. He said with reservation: "Old Madam, please tell me, I will think about it."
Zhong Pingting laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to use you to arrange a marriage, don't be so nervous."
