I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 254
254 I Don’t Care
Shen Hanyu walked over and held the old lady’s hand, comforting her silently.
Old Lady Zhen’s eyes were red. “So, is this why you’re so insistent on not taking over the Zhen family’s business?”
“I don’t want to disappoint Grandmother,” Shen Hanyu said gently.
Because even if he took over, it was destined that he would not be able to do it for long.
!!
“But I’m more than just disappointed.”
Old Lady Zhen looked at Shen Hanyu with tears in her eyes. “I thought God sent you back to the Zhen family because he pitied me for missing my daughter for so many years and that the Zhen family had no successor. Who would have thought that even having you by my side was an extravagant hope…”
“I still have a lot of time to spend with you.”
Shen Hanyu’s voice was calm, as if he was talking about someone else’s life. “Grandmother, don’t be sad.”
How could Old Lady Zhen not be sad?
No one knew how happy she was to be reunited with Shen Hanyu.
It wasn’t just because he was Zhen Yixin’s only descendant, but also because the Zhen family had very few grandchildren. Other than her two granddaughters, there was no one else.
As for these two granddaughters, the older one had a rebellious character since she was young and did things her own way, so her relationship with her family was very strained. Although the younger one was sensible and obedient, and was also talented, she was still too young, only fourteen years old this year.
Even if they were carefully cultivated, it would probably take ten years before they could take on the main role.
To the current Zhen family, ten years was too long, and there were too many variables.
As for the members of the Zhen family, they were even less worth mentioning.
All these years, they had been relying on the Zhen family’s protection. It was easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree. There were people who got by, people who bullied others, and people who were willing to settle down and do things. However, Old Lady Zhen didn’t take a liking to them in terms of ability or character.
Even if there was someone she liked, there was still a difference between close and distant.
Old Lady Zhen would rather spend time and effort to raise her own granddaughters than hand over the huge Zhen family business to a branch family member to manage.
Shen Hanyu’s return meant a lot to the Zhen family.
Although he was Old Lady Zhen’s grandson, she had the intention to groom him as the future heir of the Zhen family.
After she made it clear to Shen Shaofeng last time, Old Lady Zhen had a serious discussion with Shen Hanyu about this matter.
Unfortunately, Shen Hanyu was unwilling to get involved in any of the Zhen family’s businesses.
The old lady had thought that he was more or less apprehensive because of her status and planned to slowly persuade him in the future.
Unexpectedly, there was a hidden story in between.
—
As there were outsiders in the house, Old Lady Zhen quickly calmed down after losing her composure for a moment.
She confirmed Shen Hanyu’s condition with Mr. Chen again and again, and then asked about his current condition.
Ever since her husband had passed away, Old Lady Zhen had been helping her son, Zhen Yiping, to manage the Zhen family for many years. Deep down, she was not someone who would admit defeat easily. Although she was old now, her courage and aura were still there.
After learning that Mr. Chen was indeed powerless, although she was disappointed, she quickly made a decision.
In a low voice, she instructed the butler to contact her son, Zhen Yiping, who was out on a business trip, and asked him to come back as soon as possible. After that, she calmly accompanied the guests for dinner.
After dinner, they sent off Mr. Chen as well as the guests from the Fang family.
Old Lady Zhen pulled Shen Hanyu to sit down, her eyes filled with heartache. “Hanyu, it’s not that I don’t believe in Mr. Chen’s medical skills, but there are many times when nothing is absolute. For now, don’t believe him too much. There are as many doctors as the hairs on an ox in this world, and there is no lack of people with superb medical skills. Just because Mr. Chen is helpless doesn’t mean that others can’t think of a way. I promise you that I will find a famous doctor at all costs and do my best to cure you.”
In fact, Shen Hanyu had done some research on the poison.
At present, among the thousands of medical cases recorded in the country and abroad, most of them did not live past five years, just as Mr. Chen had said.
However, he didn’t want to hurt his grandmother, so he didn’t explain. “Thank you, Grandmother.”
Old Lady Zhen’s heart ached and she sighed. “You’ve been hiding it from me for so long. Why did you bring Mr. Chen over to tell me today?”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were calm. “I’m not in the right condition to get married.”
“So, you don’t want to marry into the Fang family? Or are you afraid of implicating Xiao Lan?”
Old Lady Zhen thought she had guessed the reason. “Actually, Xiao Lan and Hongyi both know about your situation, but they have no opinion on the marriage. Even last time, Grandmother jokingly asked Xiao Lan when you two would be able to marry and give the Zhen family a grandson. At that time, Xiao Lan only blushed and said that she had to ask you for that.”
“Hanyu, we’re not forcing you to marry into the Fang family,” the old lady said. “However, Xiao Lan is willing to marry you. You don’t have to refuse just because you’re worried she’ll be sad. Why don’t you get married now while you’re still in good health?”
If anything happened to him in the future, he would at least leave a son or a daughter to comfort the Zhen family and the Fang family.
“Grandmother, you misunderstand. It’s not that I’m afraid of implicating Fang Lan, but I don’t like her at all.”
Shen Hanyu laughed and said, “Don’t try to match a couple randomly in the future.”
Old Lady Zhen was rather shocked. Had she been seeing things all this while?
“What kind of girl do you like?”
Old Lady Zhen came back to her senses and asked eagerly, “You tell Grandmother. I promise to find her for you.”
When Old Lady Zhen and Shen Hanyu first reunited, they were in the hospital.
At that time, Shen Hanyu had already decided to break up with Sang Qianqian and had not mentioned her to the old lady at all.
Due to this, the old granny did not know of Sang Qianqian’s existence and asked him this question.
What kind of girl did he like?
In Shen Hanyu’s mind, he seemed to see Sang Qianqian’s sweet smile and her lovely eyes.
He said lightly, “I don’t have any thoughts of getting married for the time being. We’ll talk about it after my illness is cured.”
This was clearly an excuse.
Old Lady Zhen wanted to persuade him again, but Shen Hanyu had no intention of saying more. He excused himself and went back to his room.
That night, Zhen Yiping rushed back home. When he found out about Shen Hanyu’s condition from his mother, he was naturally shocked.
The next day, he used all the connections he could and spent a lot of money to search for famous doctors who were good at detoxification in both the country and abroad.
—
Half a month later, Yuecheng.
Shen Shaofeng, who had already returned to Ming City, suddenly received a call from Sang Pengcheng. The other party wanted him to go to Yuecheng.
“Back then, you brought your son over to propose marriage and gave Qianqian a pile of legally binded documents. Now that they’ve split up, you better bring a lawyer over to take these things back.”
Some of these documents were direct gift agreements. If they were returned, they would need to go through the relevant transfer of ownership.
Shen Shaofeng felt guilty toward the Sang family and did not have the face to take it back. “Since Hanyu gave it to Qianqian, then take it. There’s no need to return it…”
“The Sang family doesn’t care about the Shen family’s things.”
Sang Pengcheng’s tone was cold. “You’d better get here as soon as possible. My daughter really doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Shen family anymore. She also doesn’t want to ruin her good mood because of these things.”
Shen Shaofeng had no choice but to call Shen Hanyu.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Hanyu was silent for a long time. “Since she doesn’t want them anymore, then I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip.”
