Shen Bin was originally striding forward but suddenly stopped. His mother, Mrs. Shen, who was following behind him, almost bumped into Shen Bin, managing to steady herself after a couple of wobbles.
"Binzi...."
"Did Shen Chun tell you?" Shen Bin couldn’t believe his mother would know Wang Ping.
Then there was only one possibility, Shen Chun brought it up herself.
Thinking about all the introductions he had made that Shen Chun rejected, it turned out she had her heart set on soone else. And this person was soone from the compound. Who was Wang Ping? Also a military child. How could Shen Chun, if the two liked each other, that could be possible. But now it’s Shen Chun who wants to marry, which is sothing the Wang Family could never agree to.
The first reason to oppose it is what the Shen Family has done, which now everyone in the compound knows about.
"It wasn’t Chun’er who said it, your father and I have seen him so we inquired a bit before we knew him." Mrs. Shen’s eyes were evasive, clearly indicating she was lying.
"This won’t work." Shen Bin rcilessly gave the reason straight away, "What you’ve done is known by people in the company and the compound, so I didn’t find soone in the company for Shen Chun. If she doesn’t like the ones I picked, let her find soone herself."
"Binzi, don’t be angry, Chun’er also..." Shen Bin did not wait for her to finish, turned around, and left.
Mrs. Shen watched as his figure left in large strides, sighed in the end, and turned back inside. Shen’s father saw his wife coming in, "How was it? Did he agree?"
"He said for Chun’er to consider others." Mrs. Shen glanced at her daughter on the kang, "I think you’re just being restless. Fine, just choose from the people your brother picked."
"Why? I can’t even find soone I like? If I don’t like them, marrying would only upset myself." Shen Chun’s face was full of cold, "Don’t say I don’t know what’s good for . You can see it too, he’s just dealing with our family now."
Shen’s father was increasingly dissatisfied with Shen Bin. If it weren’t for his wife persuading him beside, he would have made a fuss again. Now seeing his daughter standing by his side, he found her more agreeable, "I think Chun’er is right. Wife, I say let’s do it that way, if we don’t show the Li Family what we’re capable of, they won’t take us seriously."
Having stayed in the city for a while, Shen’s father beca more confident in his speech.
Mrs. Shen was still a little hesitant.
Shen Chun, however, already impatiently spoke up, "Dad, mom has always been this hesitant."
This was indirectly asking Shen’s father to take action.
Hearing his daughter’s affirmation, Shen’s father felt invigorated, slapped his leg, "Then let’s do it."
Mrs. Shen looked at her husband and daughter and ultimately said nothing more.
In the following days, rumors began to spread that Shen Bin got married in the countryside without actually getting divorced, and that his marriage partner had shifted from Gao Xique to the adopted daughter Shen Chun. Once the matter spread, it caused a great commotion. Originally, while Shen Bin was working in the company, he suddenly received a notice to hand over his work to soone else. Although Shen Bin was puzzled, he asked nothing, proceeding directly to hand over his work to the person who ca. Once everything was handed over, he received orders for a leave of absence. Shen Bin’s expression remained unchanged, asking no further questions.
When he got ho, Ye Ling hadn’t returned yet; only Ye Zhenfen was at ho. Ye Zhenfen seed to already know sothing and wasn’t surprised by her son’s arrival ho during non-office hours. She rely called the maid to prepare food, held her grandson, and asked her son to co to the study.
When the study door closed, Ye Zhenfen sighed, "Shen Bin, those at the top are very concerned about this matter now. Don’t worry; once we’ve explained the situation, everything will be fine."
"It’s about Shen Chun, right?" With such an urgent call, Shen Bin had already guessed.
Ye Zhenfen nodded, looking at her son with a heart full of affection, "Just take this ti as a holiday, have a good rest at ho for a while, and accompany Ye Ling more often. Her father’s return recently has been tough on her. As for his plan to hold a few feasts, you go help organize them."
"Mom, I’m fine." Shen Bin was exceptionally calm, "I knew this day would co sooner or later."
In the end, it made him completely disheartened towards the Shen Family, with no trace of family affection left. He had been waiting, knowing the Shen Family would eventually stoop to this tactic, yet he sohow hoped they wouldn’t, but that last bit of hope had vanished.
When Ye Ling returned, she found Shen Bin holding their son. At work, Ye Ling had also heard about Shen Bin being ordered to take a leave of absence, which worried her deeply, but she couldn’t just leave the company. She held on until the end of the day, and upon seeing the scene at ho, her heart eased.
"You’re back." Although his face was cold and hard, Ye Ling could see the tenderness in Shen Bin’s eyes.
She hurried over to him, "How do you feel after spending a whole day with our son?"
"He’s very well-behaved," Shen Bin summarized simply.
Ye Ling pursed her lips into a smile, "Really? Then it seems you must’ve had an easy ti. As soon as he sees , he starts fussing to be held, and the mont I put him down, he cries. Such a nuisance."
Then she pouted.
It was as if she was a bit jealous.
"Well, it’s because I’m his dad." Shen Bin said with a face full of pride.
When Ye Zhenfen ca out of the kitchen, she saw her daughter-in-law chatting with her son, both of them smiling. She truly relaxed, feeling her daughter-in-law was really great—good-tempered and sensible. Under such circumstances, who wouldn’t bear a grudge?
After dinner, Ye Zhenfen directly took her grandson to her room, leaving Ye Ling and Shen Bin with the opportunity to talk in the bedroom. "The company is also talking about this. I only found out you were sent ho today. Mom must have advised you; rest assured, I believe you will be alright."
"Thank you." Shen Bin pulled her into his arms, "Wife, with that assurance, I’m not worried at all."
"Stop with the sweet talk," Ye Ling gently pinched him without applying force, making their interaction a bit more intimate.
Yet in Ye Ling’s heart, there was so concern. As long as the Shen Family clung to their claims, it would be hard to manage on the company’s end unless they found witnesses. But who from the Shen Family would stand out? Ye Ling thought of Gao Xique, but if they approached her, the military might accuse them of conspiring on their account, leaving Ye Ling at a loss for solutions.
The current proof would be to check if Shen Chun is still a virgin. If she is, then nothing more would need to be said. But Shen Chun wouldn’t cooperate, and if pushed, she might turn hostile, so this is where the problem remains stuck.
