Chapter 9
Shen Ron returned to The Shen Family mansion when he saw Mrs. Zhang rushing out towards him in a panic.
He quickly got out of the car, surveyed the sweaty Mrs. Zhang and asked, "Mrs. Zhang, what happened? Is it June ......."
"No, it's not Miss June, it's ...... your grandma who wants to jump off the building. You've come back just in time, hurry up and go to the top floor to persuade her ......"
Shen Ron didn't wait for Mrs. Zhang to finish her sentence and immediately took a step towards the house, rushing to the top floor as fast as he could.
On the top floor, Mrs. Shen was trying hard to persuade Old Lady Shen: "Mom, you should come down, it's too dangerous, what if you really fall down?"
"I don't want to live anyway, it's just as well that I fell, what do you think is the point of my living?" The old lady wiped a handful of tears from her face with her sleeve and continued to wail, "Other people have children and grandchildren at this age, but what about me? The Shen Family will not have a successor until the end of time." ......
"Grandma!" Shen Ron shouted at the old lady and rolled his eyes in no good humor, "Stop pretending and come down, in case you really fall and regret it."
"Brat, how dare you say I'm faking it?" The old lady continued to wipe her tears with her sleeve, with an indignant look on her face.
"Grandma, I can tell you, this is the fourth floor. If you really fall down, not to die there is a possibility of breaking your arm or leg, then you can not play mahjong and can not walk anymore. Don't complain the day too boring." Shen Ron threatened.
He had long been tired of seeing old ladies slit their wrists, jump off buildings, and hang themselves at every turn.
"You you you ...... I'm going to die for you!" The old lady huffed and turned around, scaring a bunch of maids into screaming.Shen Ron was also startled and was busy saying, "Grandma, wait a minute."
While he knew the old woman didn't have the courage to kill herself, it was also really dangerous to just stand there by the guardrail.
"What are you going to say and don't get in the way of my jumping." The old lady said impatiently.
"Grandma, it's better if you talk." Shen Ron lost the battle.
"Then I'll really say it."
"Go ahead." Shen Ron said stiffly, secretly praying in his heart that the old lady wouldn't say anything too difficult for him. But he could estimate what the old lady would say next, which was nothing more than coercing him to go on a blind date with some daughter or a dinner date with some famous lady.
When the old lady has nothing to do all day, she likes to think about it.
However, this time he was thoroughly wrong.
The old woman sitting straddling the parapet, like a trick, had an extra newspaper in her hand and raised it at him, "I want you to marry this woman named Cheng Lydia."
Everyone in the room froze at this statement.
Cheng Lydia...... just made headlines today for cheating Lim Toby?
Shen Ron was also stunned. He didn't expect the old lady to be so desperate this time, asking him to marry someone's wife? And to marry a married woman with a very bad reputation?
"Mom, are you confused? This Cheng Lydia is Lim Toby's wife." Mrs. Shen was the first to react and opened her mouth to remind. How could this woman, whom she could not see from the bottom of her heart, be worthy of Shen Ron?
"I've looked into it, and she'll be divorcing Lim Toby soon."
When Zhang Jane said this morning that Shen Ron was in the news, the old lady didn't believe it at all, because even the dog she kept at her feet knew that Shen Ron's heart was full of that woman Yang June, and was not interested in other women at all. But when she saw Cheng Lydia's picture in the newspaper, she was really surprised and understood instantly.
Cheng Lydia had a similar face to Yang June and Shen Ron must have gotten into a scandal with her because of that.
It's not easy to see her grandson fall in love with a woman other than Yang June, so she can't let it go easily.
The old lady spends the day investigating Cheng Lydia as a person and finds out that she is actually not as bad as the newspapers make her out to be. Although the family was not good, the person at least had a proper occupation and was not bad looking.
Of course she wanted Shen Ron to marry a rich, beautiful celebrity, but no celebrity has the face of Yang June, so Cheng Lydia was the perfect candidate.
Now to old Mrs. Shen, who has had her heart broken by Shen Ron, she has only one condition for the woman, if she is female, as long as Shen Ron is willing to marry.
"Grandma, it's better if I jump." After a long moment of dumbfounded silence, Shen Ron suddenly stepped towards the guardrail and sat up with a flip.
Ask him to take a wife? He'd rather jump off a building.
"Then I will immediately order Yang June to be thrown out of The Shen Family."
Shen Ron paused in his movements and twisted his head to glare indignantly at Old Mrs. Shen.
"I'll do what I say." Old Mrs. Shen decided to go out on a limb.
Shen Ron, who was blue from anger, nodded and gritted his teeth, "Don't you just want a grandchild? Fine, I'll marry, but it doesn't have to be Cheng Lydia, there are plenty of women in this world who can bear children."
Yang June has always been his weakness, always!
He knows his grandmother won't let him go without adding to The Shen Family, and possibly resenting Yang June. it's about time he had a woman for her peace of mind and for Yang June's sake.
Mrs. Shen naturally understood what was going on in his mind and said in a serious manner, "I want Cheng Lydia, you go and get her back for me."
Just kidding, what she wanted is not only her grandson, but also her grandson to have a happy marriage and a warm little family like a normal man. If it was any other woman, Shen Ron would not fall in love, but Cheng Lydia is different. Cheng Lydia looked like June and was definitely much more valuable than other women.
On the rare occasion that Shen Ron relents, she of course tries to raise the bar as much as possible for the woman.
"Grandma, Cheng Lydia loves Lim Toby, and besides, how can people think about getting married when they're not even divorced yet?"
"I want her anyway."
"I ......."
"Young master." Butler He walked up to Shen Ron and advised in a low voice, "Just say yes, Old Lady has been hanging on the parapet all night, can't you see her hands and feet are shaking?"
The sharp-eared Old Lady Shen heard Housekeeper He say this and was busy increasing the frequency of her shaking limbs, acting as if she could barely hold on.
Shen Ron, seeing the old woman's shaking limbs, and thinking that she had indeed been hanging on to them for quite a long time, had to nod in agreement, though with extreme reluctance, and said grimly, "I'll try."
"It's a deal." The old lady got down from the parapet with the support of He's housekeeper, looking at the gloomy Shen Ron, she suddenly felt unbearable and went forward to pat his arm, "My dear grandson, grandma is doing this for your own good, think about it, in the future, when your child is born, it will look like you and June, it will feel as if you and June gave birth to it, how wonderful it is. "
"It's fine to ask me for a wife, but Grandma has to grant me a request as well."
"You name it, Grandma promises it." The old lady patted her chest and promised.
Shen Ron said with a straight face, "No matter what happens in the future, no one is allowed to evict June."
"Of course not." The old lady blasted her horse back furiously, "I've always liked that girl June, I'll treat her like my own granddaughter, don't worry."
As long as Shen Ron would take a wife and have children, she naturally wouldn't bother with a woman who was so vulnerable that she was just breathing.
