But, so what?

I remember there is a saying, "Being too clever and scheming may lead to the loss of your loved ones' lives."

Isn't this the best portrayal of him and her? More than forty years ago, she and he did too many shady things to get what they wanted.

But what is the result?

Her little cousin was forced to marry Lin Heng under his and her design, but she ran away half a year later and her life or death is still unknown. This man has been searching for her all his life, and it seems that he has found nothing in the past ten years.

It was forty years before she married Shen Hongxiu as she wished. However, her life during these forty years was not as good as she had imagined.

First of all, her son was replaced, and she was frightened the whole day, wishing she could strangle Shen Zhehan to death, but she had to pretend to be a loving mother.

Secondly, in order to avoid exposing her true colors, she didn't dare to write a single word in front of Shen Hongxiu, let alone composing poems, which was not her forte.

That was her cousin Mo Yunyan's strong point.

Mo Yunyan can write plum blossom seal characters with both hands, while Luo Aofu can only write a more delicate small regular script.

She made a living by selling inventory for a few years, but the situation kept changing, and coupled with her disagreement with her mother-in-law, it was natural for her to give up everything.

But now, she seemed to be about to lose everything.

When Mr. Shen and her husband came back with their son, that was the moment she was kicked out.

She knew that once this matter was exposed, she would have no way out. For the Shen family, what they hated most was concealment and deception. Even in some small matters, they would not allow it, let alone in terms of offspring and bloodline.

One can imagine what will happen to them when they come back.

If she were young, Luo Aofu might not have the same thoughts as she does now, but when she saw Lin Heng walking in, it seemed that she understood many things at once.

What is not yours is not yours after all, just like the man in front of you, from young to old, he seems to have never forgotten Mo Yunyan, but so what? In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, turning the young man into an old man, and the young girl into an old lady. What's the point?

Seeing Luo Aofu silent and seemingly disheartened, Lin Heng, who was sitting on the chair, curled up the corner of his mouth with a faint smile.

He made two clicking sounds with his mouth.

"Luo Aofu, I never thought that you were so good at hiding things from the world. You first used this trick to deceive a husband, and then used it to avoid the punishment for losing your own son. But I don't understand why you are so excited to raise other people's children. You have to know that you were ruthless to your own brothers and sisters back then."

Luo Aofu was stunned. She clenched her hands, lowered her head and said nothing.

Lin Heng then waved his hand with some disinterest, "There's no point in talking to someone like you about this. You won't understand."

Luo Aofu took a deep breath, raised her head, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here? You didn't come here just to say this, did you? It's been decades, we're all old, what's the point of talking about this, good or bad?"

Then, with a cold smile on his face, he said, "After all, you and I are both the ones who survived. Isn't this good?"

Lin Heng sneered. Even though he was in Madam Shen Hongxiu's ward, he was not in a hurry. He knew that Mr. Shen was on the way with his eldest son. The Shen family was in chaos. Uncle Shen and Shen Hongwen tried their best to suppress it, but many people had been arrested. So no one came to take care of Luo Aofu.

He said slowly, "Yes, we are both old, so for the sake of our decades of friendship, I am here to save you."

Her situation was different from others. There was no room for explanation or maneuver.

If the child was only one or two years old, she might be able to stay by relying on her status as a mother.

Over time, the relationship between mother and child will naturally be restored.

But Shen Yu is forty years old now, and he will be a grandfather in two years. He doesn't need her as his mother at all.

So what Lin Heng said was really ridiculous.

"...I'll take you away, otherwise you won't have a good ending here."

"Leave, where to go after leaving here?" Luo Aofu asked back.

"The Shen family is about to collapse. The things on that ship are enough to turn into a mountain, making it impossible for the Shen family to recover. All of this was done by Shen Zhehan. When Mr. Shen comes back, it will be your death. Don't think that they will drive you out. They may want your life!"

"I'm already this old, it doesn't matter, I'll just die..."

"Haha, don't pretend in front of me. If you really want to die so badly, why are you staying in the hospital? Why don't you just hang yourself with a rope?"

Lin Heng really understood Luo Aofu and ruthlessly exposed her illusions.

Luo Aofu's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, "I have to see what my own son looks like before I die."

"Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe what you said. If you really wanted to do this, you wouldn't have concealed it for forty years. Even though you were panicked and frightened at first, when you realized what was going on, if you had a bit of motherly kindness, you could have secretly inquired about it, even if you didn't tell Shen Hongxiu. You've been ignoring everything for forty years, so you must have forgotten that you have a son, right?" Lin Heng sneered mercilessly.

If he hadn't embarrassed Shen Hongxiu in the end, he would not have taken this old poisonous snake away.

Luo Aofu gritted her teeth, and her flushed face turned pale again.

"...Okay, leave with me, and never come back to the Shen family again."

Lin Heng seemed not to want to talk any more. He had no interest in whether Luo Aofu was a qualified mother. If possible, he hoped that Shen Hongxiu's son would be strangled to death by his wet nurse. That way, he could vent his anger.

After all, if it weren’t for Shen Hongxiu, his Yunyan might not have been so cruel to him.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Suddenly Luo Aofu stared at Lin Heng intently and asked through gritted teeth, "Why did you suddenly come here today? Tell me, did you tamper with the cargo ship of the Shen Family Shipping Company?"

Lin Heng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that stupid woman Luo Aofu would ask him this.

"Yes or no, what does it have to do with you? Don't you know what your fate will be?"

"Tell me, did you do it?" Luo Aofu growled.
