Chapter 35
“I recorded all your highlights from last night just in case you woke up and cheated, want to come over and enjoy them together?” Shen Ron raised his phone at her while tapping his thumb in the play button.
Shen Ron’s hoarse voice came from the phone, “Tell me properly, who are you begging? For what?”
Followed by Cheng Lydia’s voice: “I beg Shen Ron to kiss me and hold me … Shen Ron… I beg Shen Ron… …”
Cheng Lydia can’t pretend anymore and screams and lunges to grab it, Shen Ron dodges her with a quick eye and a backward glance.
“Delete it for me, Shen Ron you hurry up and delete it for me!” Cheng Lydia was furious and pounced on him to grab it, but the slender woman was no match for Shen Ron and couldn’t grab it.
“Something so wonderful, I’ll have to save it for later to enjoy.” Shen Ron said with a bad smile.
After a half-hearted failure to grab it, Cheng Lydia retreated to the floor as it were, glaring at him indignantly, “Shen Ron, what the hell do you want?”
“I thought I said, keep it as a souvenir.”
“I’m asking you what it’s going to take to delete it.” It was awful, to steal such a vile video? And the scary thing was that last night she didn’t even know she had been secretly filmed.
Just the thought of him existing in her mind’s eye for last night’s humiliation made her want to slash him with shame and anger, while at the same time worrying about being seen by a third person.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but the Shen Ron in front of her didn’t care about her anger and rage, and continued to look at her with a smile in his eyes.
“I’ll delete it one day when you’re on your best behavior.”
Actually Shen Ron has no penchant for this, and there is no third sentence at all on his phone other than the recording of the two he just made, much less the video that Cheng Lydia misunderstood.
“I’m getting up now, are you sure you want to keep staring at a me like that? It’s not like you didn’t see enough last night, is it?”
As soon as he said this, Cheng Lydia immediately turned her back, sobering up and unable to look directly at Shen Ron’s stunningly beautiful body.
Cheng Lydia eventually didn’t let Shen Ron delete the recording either, and out of anger, she purposely didn’t cooperate with Shen Ron in pretending to be intimate in front of Old Lady Shen.
The two men walked out of the bedroom, one after the other, to the first floor dining room.
In order to get a closer look at the heart of the two, the old woman waited for the two to have breakfast together.
And Cheng Lydia, to avoid being suspected or questioned by the old lady, eased up on her face after seeing her walk into the restaurant and tried to act as if she was no different than usual.
The old lady asked Zhang Jane to bring the two bowls of tonic soup that had been stewed earlier to the young couple and said with a smile, “You were exhausted last night, weren’t you? Have some tonic soup to replenish your vitality.”
As soon as the old lady spoke, Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia turned their heads around at the same time.
The old lady was shocked to realize that she had omitted to say something and was busy explaining, “I mean the party last night ended so late, you must be exhausted, right?”
“It’s okay.” Cheng Lydia tugged her lips into a smile and looked down at her breakfast, not even noticing the older woman’s discomfort.
How could a simple person like her possibly think that the two glasses of milk she had downed last night had been spiked with fierce ingredients? After all, this was home, not a public place.
However, Shen Ron is not as simple as Cheng Lydia, and when he saw Cheng Lydia’s extreme behavior last night, he felt that something was wrong. A drunk woman, how could she lose her temper to such an extent, forcing him once was not enough, but also forcing him a second time, so that he is still sore and weak, really need to make up for it.
He picked up the tonic soup and took a sip, his warning gaze sweeping nonchalantly towards Old Lady Shen.
This extremely talented grandmother of his was really capable of doing anything, actually even doing something like drugging her own grandson.
Old Mrs. Shen felt his sword-like gaze and immediately turned her head to play dumb and asked Cheng Lydia, “How was it? Did you have a good time last night?”
Cheng Lydia nodded, “Pretty happy.”
“Any interesting stories? Tell me some.”
Cheng Lydia glanced up at Shen Ron quickly, darting her head back down to feign breakfast when she came in contact with the indifferent smile on his face.
I wonder how the old lady would feel if she knew that not only had she disgraced Shen Ron, but she had spent the night alone with Gu William on the river?
“Why don’t you speak up?” The almighty Shen Ron asked, looking at her askance impishly, managing to snatch a glare from Cheng Lydia.
“Old lady, here’s today’s paper.” Ho Gina came in from outside the dining room holding a stack of newspapers and placed them in front of the old lady.
The old lady took a sip of milk and casually flipped up the newspaper in her hand and said, “The government department held the party last night, it should have been reported.”
Reported at …
Cheng Lydia’s heart stuttered.
Ho Gina saw the flash of panic on her face and smiled badly as she turned to stand in the corner.
She’d purposely saved the paper for the old lady until now because she wanted to wait until Cheng Lydia was present, and it would look a little more interesting wouldn’t it?
By not leaving the restaurant, she was waiting in rank for the good show to come next.
After all the fuss he made last night, if there was a story about it, he’d be a big part of it, right?
Sure enough, as soon as the old lady flipped through the entertainment section, Cheng Lydia caught a glimpse of herself in the large picture above. She couldn’t see it very well from a little distance, but she could tell at once that the woman in the picture was herself and the man in the picture was Gu William.
“Huh? Isn’t that you Lydia?” The old woman asked, after surveying the picture for a long time, twisting her head and placing the newspaper in front of Cheng Lydia.
Cheng Lydia finally got a good look at the picture, which shows her shirtless and desperate, leaning against Gu William’s arms, with Gu William’s black suit draped over her.
Because she was slightly hanging her head, was puffy and all in disarray, if not particularly familiar, without looking carefully, basically could not recognize her.
And underneath the picture were the accompanying words: the female companion of the new president of Gu’s group assaulted a pregnant woman at the venue, seriously affecting the normal order of the banquet.
She looked at herself in the newspaper in a daze, not really understanding why the truth had been twisted into this. She assaulted a pregnant woman? When had she ever assaulted Feng Ann?
“What’s going on here?” The old woman saw that Cheng Lydia didn’t say anything and asked Shen Ron instead.
Shen Ron shrugged, “How should I know, it’s not like I was the one who reported it.”
“Is it true what it says about beating pregnant women?” The old lady asked Cheng Lydia instead, “And Lydia, how did you become Gu William’s date?”
“Gu William even gave her a suit.” Shen Ron fanned the flames in a cynical manner.
About the outfit that was associated with Gu William, he had a fire in his heart every time he thought of it.
Cheng Lydia, however, was pissed off and turned to Shen Ron with an indignant face: “Shen Ron, don’t you know clearly in your heart whether I have assaulted a pregnant woman or not? It was my ex-husband’s sister who tore my dress, causing me to go naked in public, while you left me to save your own face and took another woman away from the scene, it was William who kindly took me away from the scene and bought me clothes to wear, he did what should have been done by you and took the responsibility that should have been taken by you. Now as you wish, all of Pennsylvania City knows that it was Gu William’s lady friend who made a fool of herself at the party, not you Shen Ron’s!”
Cheng Lydia finished those long-awaited words in one breath.
“Brat!” It was only after a long time that Old Mrs. Shen raised her palm and slapped Shen Ron on the head, saying without good grace, “How could you do this to Lydia?”
“Grandma … I’m your real grandson.” Shen Ron rolled his eyes breathlessly.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Next time you bully Lydia like that, I won’t spare you.” The old lady said and tried to smack him again, Shen Ron panicked and ducked to the side, throwing down his knife and fork and leaving, not even eating his breakfast.
Ho Gina, standing in the corner, didn’t expect things to work out so satisfactorily and left the restaurant doorway with gritted teeth and indignation.
She originally thought that the old lady would be furious after seeing Cheng Lydia so close to other men, and even if she didn t throw Cheng Lydia out, she would certainly scold her severely for a while, but she didn t expect … it.
Looks like the old lady really loves Cheng Lydia.
