Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Disgraceful Acts
"Dad, you’ve said yourself Si Chen is promising and his future is bright. His marriage with his wife was arranged, and there is no love between them. You’ve heard the hospital rumors and know that divorce is inevitable for them. They’ve just been together for two days and they don’t have any kids. If I am patient, I can have him," she stated passionately.
Yu Shiya boldly put her feelings out in the open because her parents already knew about her feelings for Si Chen. She reasoned that she had to win her parents over sooner or later if she wanted to be with Si Chen. Perhaps, they might even help her.
If they won’t help, she would move into the hospital family accommodation and never co back. Regardless of anyone’s opinion, she loved Si Chen, and that was all that mattered.
Yu Shiya had been pampered like a princess since she was young and had beco stubborn and spoiled, determined to get whatever she wanted, by any ans necessary. This applied to her feelings as well. She had been picky with her choices in boys since she was young, but now that she has finally found soone she likes, she won’t give up easily.
"Nonsense!" Yu Zhengxiong, her father, slamd the table angrily, his face creasing up with new wrinkles. "You are a maiden of a respected family, but you want to marry a divorced man! What a disgrace!"
"Regardless, if you do not agree with , then I will not get married!"
Yu Shiya was fighting back tears. Although her parents have spoiled her, she was not one to cry and complain amidst the harsh working conditions in the hospital. Yu Zhengxiong was proud of his daughter’s strength and resilience. Seeing her cry now, he felt a mix of heartache and anger, blaming his wife for her behavior.
"You spoiled her," he muttered blafully.
Cheng Yu, who was in the midst of wiping away Shiya’s tears, retorted in annoyance: "Had you not encouraged her to study dicine, where would she have t Si Chen? Who was the one that praised him in front of our daughter? This is all on you."
Yu Zhengxiong was at a loss for words, left speechless by his wife’s poignant words. He let out a deep sigh of resignation. What good would regret do now that it has already happened?
Seeing her father wavering, Yu Shiya impulsively knelt, gripping his arm and pleading tearfully, "Dad, I’ve never asked you for anything in my life but I truly love Si Chen. Can you please help ?"
Cheng Yu’s heart ached seeing her daughter in such a state. She shoved Yu Zhengxiong in frustration. "Well, say sothing!" she demanded.
Yu Zhengxiong wore a stern face, refusing to relent even though he wanted to help his daughter. The sight of his always proud daughter sobbing made it hard to say no. Plus, Si Chen was indeed talented. Even though his family was not as well-off as theirs, he had the potential to accomplish great things in the field of dicine. This, he couldn’t deny.
If Si Chen beca his son-in-law, and with a bit of support from himself in the future, Si Chen would have a very bright future.
Considering Tong Yao’s tarnished reputation, Si Chen’s divorce seed inevitable. It might even be a favourable deal for Tong Yao if she was compensated well during the settlent.
Having made his decision, Yu Zhengxiong let out a deep sigh, "I will get soone to probe and ask if he has any thoughts on divorce."
After speaking these words, he left the room.
Encouraging a divorced man to marry his daughter did not sit well with his conscience. But all parents want the best for their children, and he was doing what he thought was best for his daughter.
"Your father agreed, why are you still kneeling? Get up" Cheng Yu quickly pulled Yu Shiya up, gently wiping the tears from her face, grumbling softly. "I want to see with my own eyes what Si Chen looks like, and what charm made my daughter so infatuated."
Her eyes still red from sobbing, Yu Shiya let out a small chuckle, "He’s very handso, and I’m sure you’ll like him too."
"Once he is divorced, bring him ho for a al so we can confirm the relationship. We need to act fast before others do. We need to secure him while he’s still not in demand. Otherwise, if he becos successful and chooses soone else over you, then we’ll be offering a bridal gift to others for no good reason
