Chapter 134
Mrs. Yang’s legs went limp and she slowly fell onto the sofa, her face flushed white for a moment.
And her reaction, to Cheng Lydia, was the best proof that what Gu William said was true.
Cheng Lydia suddenly rushed to her and stared at her excitedly, “So this is all your and Yang June’s mess, so tell me, Yang June and I are half sisters, right? And … where is my father? Where is he now?”
Gu William only told her what he had seen and heard, but did not know what kind of relationship she had with Yang June color to the Yang family.
Vaguely she could already be sure of the fact that she and Yang June were real sisters, after all, they looked so much alike, but where was her father? Where was her father again?
Mrs. Young lifted her head slyly and stared at her asking, “Did Shen Ron tell you that?”
“Shen Ron he doesn’t even know.” Cheng Lydia growled low.
Shen Ron doesn’t know yet? Still don’t know about …?
Mrs. Yang suddenly lost her smile, it’s good not to know!
“Let me tell you one thing at a time, your parents divorced when you were six and your mother gambled and took you away from the Yang family, but June was five at that time too. After your parents divorced I took June and married into the Young family, then your father died when you were seven, June was your real half-sister and you were so close, so close that your mother and I found it a headache.”
“And …” Mrs. Yang paused before continuing, “It’s not that June replaced you, it’s that you replaced June. The day before Shen Ron’s birthday party, I found June sketching a boy with a paintbrush, and that boy was Shen Ron. I told her that tomorrow was Shen Ron’s birthday party, and that old Mrs. Shen wanted to meet her, and June was I told her that tomorrow was Shen Ron’s birthday party and that Mrs. Shen wanted to meet her, and June was so happy that she picked out a little purple dress herself in order to meet the boy she liked. But just when she woke up the next day, she had chicken pox all over her face, and we were all in a hurry, and then June offered to let you attend in her place …”
Mrs. Yang stood up from the sofa and grabbed her arm while pulling her upstairs and said coldly, “Come with me.”
Cheng Lydia was pulled along with her, struggling slightly twice before going with her, mentally wondering what she was going to do next.
The two walked up the revolving staircase, one after the other, to Yang June’s bedroom.
It was a cozy, chic, unromantic, girlish bedroom, and Cheng Lydia was left hanging by the door as Mrs. Yang surveyed the bedroom.
It was the first time she had ever been so close to the place where Yang June had lived, the first time she had ever known Yang June from a perspective other than Shen Ron’s.
Mrs. Yang used the key to open the bottom drawer inside a closet, holding out a pile of photo albums and notebooks and other things and put them on the table, turning to look at Cheng Lydia askance: “What you are seeing now is partly a false image, which I used to hoodwink Shen Ron, the truth is all here.”
She gestured with her jaw to the book on her desk.
These, they were the things she never dared to let Shen Ron see.
Cheng Lydia was stunned, and Mrs. Yang walked over and pulled her to the table to sit down, pulling out the paper pressed at the bottom and spreading it out. On the white rice paper, Shen Ron’s youthful appearance was clearly shown.
Various angles, one after another, not just sketches but paintings as well.
“June has loved to draw since she was a child, but you didn’t, so I never dared to let Shen Ron know that June had drawn these paintings.” Mrs. Yang paused before continuing, “A month before the banquet, Shen Ron came to June’s school to give a speech, and June fell in love with him at first sight, as it were, and that’s how this one painting came to be.”
Cheng Lydia shuddered as she flipped through the sheets of paper, then put them back on the table and picked up a photo album that was set aside. The album was a thick one, starting from the time when Yang June was born. As the album turned from page to page, Yang June grew up a little bit, until she was about five or six years old, and there were more people in the photos.
There was Mrs. Yang and a middle-aged man with his arm around Yang June, and Cheng Lydia noticed the middle-aged man appearing more and more often, her heart tightening, unable to move her gaze a bit more.
“Is that Daddy?” She murmured softly.
The man in the photo is so young and handsome, so kind.
Cheng Lydia had seen her father’s face for the first time, and if she had not come here today, she might have spent her lifeThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, although he and your mother divorced, he loves you and June very much,” Yang June turned the photo album down a page and pointed to a photo in the photo where Yang Shangjie was holding Yang June and Cheng Lydia one on one side, “He would often take you guys together He wanted you to love each other like normal sisters. And you Sang June didn’t disappoint him, the relationship is closer than ordinary family sisters.”
Mrs. Yang flipped the album down two more pages, and there were more and more pictures of Cheng Lydia and Yang June together, hanging out and eating together, from childhood to adulthood, each with a happy smile.
“Even though I was always against you seeing each other, you still used to see each other and go out together without my knowledge, even the money you borrowed from June back then to save Shen Ron’s life was hidden from me.”
Cheng Lydia even saw a reflection of herself as she grew up, two similar faces, gathered around a circle of candles in full flame, smiling with a happy face.
“This was taken on your eighteenth birthday, June had the cake maker make your birthday cake by hand.” Mrs. Yang’s tone was no longer annoyed, there was just sadness and grief anymore.
“Don’t you blame June, she didn’t want to replace you and marry Shen Ron, I was the one who kept begging her and pushing her because I knew she was secretly in love with Shen Ron, because I wanted her to be happy and because our Yang family needed a backer like The Shen Family. If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have thought to bring her to the party in the first place.”
“Here’s the diary she wrote, read it for yourself.” Yang June sighed quietly and turned towards the door.
Cheng Lydia, knowing full well Mrs. Young s intentions, could not resist turning the pages of the thick diary …
After coming out of Yang June’s room, Cheng Lydia’s feet felt like roots, and every step she took was difficult.
Within the lines of her diary, she feels Yang June’s love for Shen Ron and the pain of her heart’s crush and the pain of trying to fulfill her sister.
Did she replace Yang June? Did she steal Yang June’s happiness?
Lady Yang was sipping gracefully from her cup of tea when Cheng Lydia took a deep breath and looked at her askance, “What is your intention in letting me know this?”
Madam Yang raised her eyes and looked at her askance, her tone was also incomparably cold: “Don’t you want to know the truth, I’m letting you know the truth.”
“No, you’re trying to convince me to voluntarily quit Shen Ron and Yang June’s life.” That was her intention, and from the beginning Cheng Lydia had understood it.
“Even if it is.” Mrs. Yang took a light breath, “Although the one that Shen Ron loves is you, but from the beginning it was you who was attending the party as June and also dating Shen Ron as June, if you still have some conscience, you shouldn’t take Shen Ron away from June, after all, she is already miserable now. ”
“If Shen Ron knew about it, do you think he would be at your mercy to continue to keep June?” Cheng Lydia sneered, knowing what she knew about Shen Ron, he would never.
He has such deep feelings for Yang June that he would be furious if he found out that everything in the past was just a mistake.
“If you’re really ruthless, then go ahead and tell him.” Mrs. Yang brushed off the sentence and lowered her head to continue drinking tea.
Cheng Lydia was speechless, she had come here today originally just to seek confirmation of Gu William’s words, not realizing that there was much more to the story than what Gu William knew.
I have to admit that after reading Yang June’s diary and photo album, she really had some hesitation in her heart.
Throughout the day, Shen Ron followed a heavy heart over Cheng Lydia’s transformation, and was distracted even when he met with clients at lunch.
Before he leaves work, he takes out his phone and prepares to call Cheng Lydia to invite her to dinner for a break. instead, Assistant Peng walks in moments before he puts the call through and tells him that the head of CB Group wants to have dinner with him tonight.
Shen Ron surveyed Assistant Peng, he hadn’t received a call from the CB side since the meeting at the Star Hyatt that day was stirred up by Cheng Lydia, he had decided that the deal was yellow.
Assistant Peng smiled and said, “After CEO Shen left that day, Master Gu entered the meeting room and told the people over at CB that Secretary Cheng was your wife, and also told them that your mother-in-law was critically ill and needed you to rush to the hospital. At that time, the CB people expressed their understanding and then dispersed. Today, I received a call from CB’s side, saying that CB has decided to develop this new project with Shen, together.”
Shen Ron raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Assistant Peng in surprise, obviously in disbelief.
“He said that the boss of CB likes to work with people who love their families and wives, saying that such people are more responsible.” Assistant Peng smiled again, “And thanks to Master Gu’s temporary rescue, I just wonder if Master Gu will die of remorse when he finds out?”
“He won’t.” Shen Ron shook his head.
As much as he disliked Gu William, he had to admit that Gu William was still quite a gentleman, as evidenced by the way he treated Cheng Lydia.
The evening was spent with the CB’s discussing the details of the new project until 10:30, and it was eleven o’clock when they returned home.
Thinking Cheng Lydia was asleep, Shen Ron pushed the door and stepped into the bedroom, only to find her leaning against the bed and staring, not reading a book or watching TV as she usually did.
Seeing Shen Ron return, she immediately moved from the bed to the floor and walked towards him whispering , “You’re back.”
She smoothly took his briefcase and coat and hung them on the coat rack, and squeezed his large palm with her small hand, “Is it cold outside?”
Shen Ron gave a mechanical shake of his head, “It’s okay, it’s not too cold.”
Cheng Lydia is being anticlimactic, again …
He looked at her with some uncertainty in his mind, and only half-heartedly asked, “Have you had a good day? Did you go out for a stroll?”
“Went and hung out for a bit.” Cheng Lydia nodded and turned towards the bathroom, “I’ll put a hot bath on for you.”
Shen Ron followed her inside, grabbed her arm where she was twisting the water valve, sized her up and said, “Lydia, don’t be like that, just tell me what’s on your mind and I’ll try to help you in any way I can.”
Instead of feeling touched by her sudden thoughtfulness, it made him feel hard.
Cheng Lydia swept her head down to his large palm on her arm, startled to realize she had indeed been a bit of a rebel, and she took a light breath and said, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to be nice to you.”
“You don’t need to be so nice to me, you don’t need to live your life.” He said.
Cheng Lydia smiled astringently, she wanted to be nice to him and she wasn’t tired of it at all. He was the man who had loved her deeply for so many years, he was also the man she had loved for many years, being nice to him was a blessing, a pleasure.
She can’t bear to tell Shen Ron the truth, nor can she tell him. For June’s sake, for June to be able to fulfill her dream in this life, she wants her to be able to leave this world in two years with Shen Ron’s favor.
She clearly remembered this paragraph in Yang June’s diary: Today, I had my first fight with my mom, and she told me to go and ask my sister for Ron before he returned home. I ran out of the house, I wanted to run away from home but I didn’t know where to go. I was eventually found by my sister on the riverfront, and she said that no matter what happened, it wasn’t terrible with her, and that no matter what happened, she would do her best to help me because I was her only sister …
Cheng Lydia took a deep breath and stared up at him, “By the way, I’d like to ask you a favor.”
“What is it?”
