Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

“Love is supposed to be easy to be careful.”

Maybe so, Cheng Lydia smiled lightly.

There was a moment of silence before she looked up at him with a straight face and said, “I’m having dinner with you today to say thank you for telling me the truth.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“I thought you’d think I was as crazy as Shen Ron, and that’s why you’re talking nonsense.”

“I did have my doubts at first, but then I believed it.”

“Why?” Gu William raised a slight eyebrow at her.

Cheng Lydia paused and said, “I went to Yang June’s mother and she admitted it, but …”

“But what?”

“June isn’t really as bad as we think she is, she has her own difficulties.”

Gu William instantly understood somewhat and smiled helplessly, “So you didn’t tell Shen Ron the truth, and you don’t plan to tell him in the future?”

“June fell in love with Ron earlier than I did, no more shallowly than I did, and besides she’s about to leave this world, I think it would be a bit cruel to her if telling Shen Ron the truth at this time makes Shen Ron give up on her. Becoming a vegetable is already pathetic for her, she can’t be made to lose Shen Ron’s love again.”

Cheng Lydia took a light breath, knowing that Gu William would think she was stupid for doing this and Chung Grace would not support her when she found out, so she didn’t tell Chung Grace and she wasn’t going to tell her.

Gu William hesitated for a moment and stared at her, “I’m worried that you’ve been tricked by Mrs. Yang.”

“I don’t know if she lied to me otherwise, but one thing I feel she didn’t lie to me about is my relationship with Yang June. I feel like it’s real, and those photos and diaries don’t feel like they’re faked.”

Gu William, though he felt sorry for her, could not sway her thinking, and only said regretfully, “Since you have decided to do so, I will not mention it again.”

“Lydia, it’s only a matter of time before you suffer for being so kind.” He placed his large palm over her small hand and patted it compassionately.

“I’ll be good.”

“That’s fine.”

“So how about you? How have you been?” Cheng Lydia asked.

“Me?” Gu William smiled, “Now that it’s done, there’s no point in me staying here, so I’d better be a good boy and go back abroad and stay there.”

Seeing the guilt on Cheng Lydia’s face, he was busy adding, “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t leave because of you, it was for work. I came back in a hurry last time, and I didn’t plan to stay in LS City often.”

Cheng Lydia nodded, unsure of what to say for a moment.

She knew Gu William had come back because of her and was leaving now because of her, only Gu William himself wouldn’t admit it and she didn’t have to force him to.

“Then I can only wish you the best of luck in your time abroad.” Cheng Lydia stared at him with a straight face and said, “I still say, find someone who suits you and live your life well, don’t spend your youth and money on women you don’t love.”

Gu William just smiled lightly, not saying yes or no.

Cheng Lydia’s cell phone rang, and she pulled it out of her bag to see that it was Shen Ron calling, and gave Gu William a quick scan before she looked away to answer.

“Are you done eating? I’m downstairs.” Shen Ron’s flat voice came.

Cheng Lydia froze and craned her head out the window to see Shen Ron’s Bentley parked on the side of the road.

“I … haven’t yet.” Cheng Lydia scanned the dishes that had just been served on the table.

“Am I welcome to come up and sit down?” Shen Ron said, “It just so happens that I didn’t have much to eat at dinner.”

“If … you can control your emotions.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t give you any trouble.” Shen Ron hung up the phone and was the next thing Cheng Lydia saw as he pushed open the door and got out of the car towards the restaurant.

Cheng Lydia craned her head to look at Gu William and found him watching Shen Ron’s figure coming this way as well.

These two men were extremely unable to touch each other, and every time they did it was a volcano touching the earth type of rack, and she was really a little uneasy about it.

“What about it? Do you want to get back before he comes up?” She asked Gu William with some concern.

Gu William was indifferent and shrugged at her, “It’s already too late.”

In fact he wasn’t worried about Shen Ron coming up; after all, this was a public place and he and Cheng Lydia weren’t doing anything unseemly.

Shen Ron had walked straight towards the two of them, then sat down in the seat beside Cheng Lydia, and after beckoning the waiter to add the dishes, he surveyed Gu William across the table with a mocking smile, “What? You want to see my Lydia one more time before you leave?”

“No, I don’t know when we’ll get together again after today’s farewell.” Gu William also beckoned the waiter to add more food.

Cheng Lydia scowled at the duo, not realizing that Shen Ron already knew about Gu William’s plan to leave the country, he was really well-informed.

“I’m putting Lydia in your hands from now on, you better treat her right.” Gu William poured him a glass of red wine.

“Lydia was never yours, so why give it to me?”

“Shen Ron you better not irritate me so I don’t tear up my ticket in a fit of rage.”

“You’d better not tear it up, and you’d better be able to get the hell out of the way.” Shen Ron said nonchalantly.

There will be no peace between him and Cheng Lydia with Gu William around.

When she said goodbye to Gu William from the door of the restaurant, Cheng Lydia felt the reluctance in Gu William’s eyes, but she didn’t say anything and got into the Bentley car with Shen Ron.

The car pulled into traffic before Cheng Lydia stole a sideways glance at Shen Ron and spoke with a note of explanation, “Ron, Gu William and I bumped into each other downstairs at Chung Grace and then had dinner together, nothing more.”

Shen Ron returned her sideways glance for a ken, reaching out and patting the back of her hand with his large palm, saying nothing.

Is this a silent understanding? Cheng Lydia speculated.

“By the way, how did you know I was with him?” Cheng Lydia asked suspiciously.

“Saw his car as I was passing and figured he’d see you before he left, and when I looked up I did see you guys sitting in the window seats on the second floor.” Shen Ron replied.

He deliberately ignored the scene of Gu William covering Cheng Lydia’s small hand with his large palm, not without discomfort in his heart, only Gu William had already decided to leave LS City, he really couldn’t find a reason to mind.

“Yeah, it’s just a goodbye dinner.” Cheng Lydia smiled, “Thank you for understanding.”

When she returned to Shen Mansion, the old lady was watching TV inside the living room, and when she saw the two of them walk in together, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she said to Zhang Jane, who was beside her for hours, “Young people nowadays are really less and less easy to understand, so it’s actually so good to go back?”

She thought there would be at least six months of cold war between the two, and that Cheng Lydia would never set foot in The Shen Family again, but the Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia in front of her didn’t look like they were pretending, and the two of them didn’t need to pretend for her now.

“That’s a good thing, old lady.” Zhang Jane snapped back at her.

The old lady said joyfully, “Of course I know it’s good, I’m just curious how they got better so fast.”

The old lady’s intentionally low words still reached Cheng Lydia’s ears, and she looked up at Shen Ron, and mentally sighed at the fickleness of fate as well.

Just a few days ago, she too had thought that her life with Shen Ron was over, that even if she was forcibly tied together by Mrs. Talent, it would be a formalism with no substance.

I didn’t expect that in just a few days, I would be back with Shen Ron, without being forced, all by my own volition.
