Chapter 50 I want a son, don't talk nonsense. ...
The person who came was Cao Jingyi.
"Wenbai, are you alright?" Cao Jingyi stepped forward to help him up but was pushed aside by Guo Yuying, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Upon seeing Shen Rong, she stepped forward gracefully to greet her: "Mrs. Lu, we meet again!"
"Ms. Cao, it's been a long time! You've come to Bincheng too?"
Cao Jingyi smiled and said, "I came with my cousin to do business, and I just heard that Wen Bai had an accident, so I came to see."
Her gaze swept over Lin Wenhui and Dong Rongyi, and she nodded with a smile.
Shen Rong was somewhat surprised. Did she not recognize her or was she just open-minded?
However, Shen Rong soon realized that she truly did not recognize her.
Kang Wenbai called out "Wenhui" once, and Cao Jingyi's eyes turned cold, filled with endless hatred as she looked at Lin Wenhui.
"So this is Miss Lin. Seeing is believing, indeed. And this is...?"
Lin Wenhui didn't know why her attitude had changed so drastically, but she had always been good-natured, so she introduced him: "This is my fiancé."
Cao Jingyi puffed out her chest: "I am Kang Wenbai's ex-wife. You should have heard of me, right? Kang Wenbai forced me to sign the divorce agreement in order to marry you. I didn't expect you to turn around and have a new fiancé."
She provocatively asked Dong Rongyi, "Miss Lin probably didn't tell you these things, did she? She's the most sought-after by men. Our Wenbai compares her to the bright moon before his bed."
Shen Rong secretly leaned closer to Lu Lin and whispered in his ear, "This is a real battleground, so exciting!"
Lu Lin glared at her, annoyed. She was like a spectator watching a play, unaware that she herself had almost become a performer in the play.
Shen Rong looked at the group with a bewildered expression.
Kang Wenbai looked annoyed: "I already said it has nothing to do with her, it's just that our personalities don't match."
Cao Jingyi's chest heaved violently, her eyes reddened, and she turned her head away, a tear glistening in her eyes.
Kang Wenbai was even more displeased when he saw her crying: "Why are you crying? It's always like this. I say something to you and you cry. You cry every day. Don't you think it's bad luck?"
Lin Wenhui's face darkened: "Wenbai, you shouldn't have said that about her."
Dong Rongyi, holding his fiancée's hand, said with a grim expression, "Wenhui, let's go. I think it's best if you don't get involved."
A look of embarrassment flashed in Lin Wenhui's eyes. Thinking of Cao Jingyi's words, she felt she should say something to him: "I have something to say to you."
Dong Rongyi's expression softened somewhat: "Let's talk about it when we get home."
"Excuse me, we'll be leaving now!" He nodded to Lu Lin and Shen Rong, then took his fiancée's hand and strode away.
Since someone was coming to pick him up, Kang Wenbai no longer needed to worry about it.
"Let's go too."
Kang Wenbai looked at Lu Lin and Shen Rong, his face burning with embarrassment. He felt ashamed that they had witnessed this scene.
Perhaps Ah Rong had anticipated this scene, which is why she was unwilling to be with him. He felt bitter and his lips were tightly pursed. Guo Yuying bit her lip and looked at Cao Jingyi, feeling only aggrieved.
Bincheng already has two ex-lovers, and now there's this persistent ex-wife. Why is she having such a hard time? Does Kang Wenbai even have feelings for her?
The three left, but Shen Rong fell into deep thought. Kang Wenbai's appearance in Bincheng was not in the book, but his entanglement with the three women continued.
With Shen Rong gone and Guo Yuying filling in, is Guo Yuying going to follow the same path as the original owner? Should I intervene to stop her?
Although Guo Yuying is a bit annoying, she is not a bad person at heart; she is just a spoiled young lady.
"Stop what?" Lu Lin suddenly asked.
Shen Rong covered her mouth in surprise. Had she said it aloud?
There's a saying that's very true: human potential is limitless. In critical moments, her brain reacted ten times faster than usual.
She pointed at Yang Shaokang and the others and said, "I mean, should we stop them? They've been making a scene for so long."
Lu Lin frowned; she definitely wasn't talking about that.
"Brother Tianming, please help me. You're a policeman, so you'll definitely be able to investigate cases. Please help me interrogate this woman. I really have nothing to do with her, and the child in her belly has nothing to do with me."
Yang Shaokang clung to Lu Lin like a drowning man grasping at a straw, pointing at Dou Meiyun with a hurt expression: "Meiyun doesn't believe me."
Shen Rong thought to himself: "It's hard to believe someone like you."
Lu Lin looked at the woman; her face was deathly pale and her eyes were vacant, indicating that she had been terrified.
"What happened?" Lu Lin asked Yang Shaokang.
Yang Shaokang raised his hand: "Okay, I admit it, I know her, and we even dated for a while."
Dou Meiyun couldn't listen anymore and was about to leave, but Yang Shaokang stopped her, saying, "Listen to the end."
“But I broke up with Meiyun when we were discussing marriage. We had a pretty good time talking, and she didn’t bother me. Who knew she would suddenly pull this stunt on me now?”
His eyes turned fierce as he looked at the woman.
"It's been over a year, and you still say you're pregnant? Are you carrying Nezha?!"
He touched it and said sarcastically, "Do you think my hair looks better if it's a little green?"
The woman trembled and shook her head: "I...I."
Shen Rong couldn't bear it, so she went over and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Take your time. If it's just a misunderstanding, that's good. Don't worry, we're all women and we all know how hard it is for each other. We won't hold you accountable for what you did. Right now, we just want to hear why you did it. I guess you want to win Yang Shaokang back, right? So you like him. But this marriage isn't as simple as you think. You don't want to plant a thorn in their side and make him unhappy for the rest of his life, do you?"
The woman's tears fell in large drops; her defenses crumbled.
"He used to be very good to me, never raised his voice to me. I just felt that he was forced to break up with me by his family. I originally wanted to secretly see what his future wife looked like, but afterwards I became jealous. I found out that Miss Dou was a proud and aloof person, and was very much favored by the Marshal. For some reason, I..."
She looked at Dou Meiyun and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Dou, what I said to you that day was all nonsense. He doesn't like me, and I don't have any children. During the months we spent together, he never stayed overnight at my place. I thought he was respecting me, but actually... he just doesn't like me!"
With each apology and those large tears, Dou Meiyun's heart softened. She handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, saying, "He's blind. Why are you apologizing? Someone else should apologize."
Yang Shaokang, quick-witted at this moment, immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, ladies. I was reckless and foolish, and I've caused you all trouble."
The woman covered her mouth and cried loudly.
Yang Shaokang couldn't bear it any longer: "Well, I'll give you some more money. Go back to your hometown and marry someone who likes you."
The woman glared at him angrily and spat at him: "Who wants your filthy money? You men have no heart, you're all worthless!"
Finally, Shen Rong and Lu Lin settled her in a hotel and would send her away from Bincheng tomorrow.
The misunderstanding between Dou Meiyun and Yang Shaokang was cleared up, and the marriage between the two families continued.
It was already past 8 p.m. when she got home, and Shen Rong was starving.
"I'm so hungry, your son says he's hungry too." Shen Rong leaned back in the parking space, eating a candied hawthorn, but the more she ate, the hungrier she felt.
"I'll be home soon."
She was just saying we were going to eat out, but she insisted that Aunt Zhang had stewed chicken and we should go back to eat it. Now she's saying she's hungry halfway there.
Fortunately, we were just one more intersection away.
Shen Rong got out of the car and ran while calling out loudly for Zhang Ma.
Lu Lin called out to her anxiously from behind, "Slow down, don't run."
“I’m hungry!” Shen Rong protested.
"Oh, who dares to let our Miss Shen go hungry?" A teasing voice came from inside the house.
Shen Jiashi brought out a bowl of chicken soup and drank it with relish.
He sized up the two of them, his eyes unfriendly: "You didn't hear I was here and deliberately avoided me, did you? What time is it? Why are you so unwelcoming?"
Shen Rong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and reached out her arms to him. Shen Jiashi smiled contentedly and hugged his sister.
"You've gained a little weight, huh?" He teased her again.
Chen Rong was just an elbow strike.
"When did you arrive? Why didn't you call ahead?" Lu Lin asked.
Shen Jiashi shrugged: "I came in a hurry, thinking I'd give you a surprise, but when I got home, good heavens, they were all gone!"
Aunt Zhang peeked out from the kitchen: "Madam, shall we set the table now?"
"Yes, hurry up, let's eat first." She's starving and will talk to you after we finish eating!
At the dinner table, Shen Rong ate with such gusto that it was as if autumn leaves had fallen in the wind, leaving Shen Jiashi dumbfounded.
"Did you abuse my sister?" Shen Jia asked Lu Lin earnestly, as if he hadn't been hungry for days.
Lu Lin helped Shen Rong pick up some food, sighed, and didn't know how to explain.
Aunt Zhang brought over the chicken soup and explained with a smile, "Madam is quite heavy now and can't hold her hunger for long. She doesn't usually eat this late, so she must be starving today."
She pushed a bowl of soup over to her: "Madam, please have some soup. Don't eat too much, or you'll get indigestion."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin immediately put the food he had just picked up back into his own bowl, earning him a displeased glare from Shen Rong.
"Listen to Aunt Zhang, don't overeat. Eat something else when you're hungry later."
Shen Rong then agreed and slowed down.
"Eating so much, no wonder you've gained weight," Shen Jiashi teased her.
Shen Rong pinched her waist, touched her stomach, and looked dejected.
Have you really gained a lot of weight?
"Don't listen to him. Didn't the doctor say that you're just right, not fat?" Lu Lin comforted her while glaring coldly at Shen Jiashi.
Shen Jiashi never expected her to be so fragile now, so he quickly said something nice: "Brother was just joking. She's not fat at all, and she's still so beautiful. I didn't even recognize her just now. How can my sister be so beautiful? She must have given me such a beautiful niece!"
Shen Rong's faint sorrow was instantly washed away: "Are you trying to fool me? I'm naturally beautiful."
Seeing her smile, Shen Jiashi breathed a sigh of relief; he was also a little afraid of Lu Lin's cold, piercing gaze.
"I want to have a son, don't talk nonsense." Shen Rong spat at him.
What, are you still favoring sons over daughters? Are you practicing feudalism?
“Our father is more open-minded than you. Isn’t it great that his daughter is so considerate? Don’t you like that?” Shen Jiashi couldn’t stand his sister’s behavior.
"I love her!" It is precisely because she loves her that she cannot bear to let her struggle in this chaotic world. Her daughter should be born in a peaceful and prosperous era where the country is prosperous and the people are at peace, so that she can enjoy the beauty of life without having to worry about safety all the time.
Shen Rong's expression was somewhat off, and she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly.
Lu Lin reached out and took her hand, gently comforting her: "It's okay, if you want a son, then you can have a son, it's all good."
Shen Jiashi scoffed, "You're buying vegetables, and you're even picking and choosing?"
Shen Rong couldn't help but laugh. "That's right, there's no question about it!"
Lu Lin's eyes also held a smile.
