I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 256
256 Can’t Afford to Wait
Inviting Shen Shaofeng to Yuecheng could be considered as something Sang Qianqian had planned for a long time.
She had already thought of this before she even returned from the capital.
She knew Shen Hanyu too well. If he didn’t want to say something, no one could make him say it.
If she wanted to know the reason behind his behavior, Shen Shaofeng might be the only breakthrough.
!!
As such, using the gifts Shen Hanyu gave in the past as an excuse, Sang Qianqian asked her father to contact Shen Shaofeng.
Even though Sang Pengcheng had added a few ‘lines’ of his own accord, it had dramatically increased the effect.
Shen Shaofeng only thought that she was determined to break up with Shen Hanyu and did not suspect anything else. Otherwise, he would not have had such a good time drinking tonight.
Sang Qianqian was good at getting information out of drunk people.
She asked one question after another, and all of them were related to Shen Hanyu.
Shen Shaofeng couldn’t resist the alcohol and said a lot of things in a disorderly manner.
He spoke in a mystifying manner, which successfully perplexed the Sang family most of the time.
But later, Sang Qianqian finally understood that Shen Hanyu had broken up with her because he had no other choice.
Shen Hanyu did not appear during Sang Qianqian’s stay in the hospital because he was poisoned.
Shen Shaofeng didn’t know how he was poisoned or what kind of poison it was. He only knew that the poison couldn’t be cured and that it would put Shen Hanyu’s life in danger.
Shen Shaofeng couldn’t say more, but he did mention that it was “Mr. Chen” who had treated Shen Hanyu.
Sang Qianqian found Mr. Chen’s number in his phone and immediately called him.
Mr. Chen had seen the unconscious Sang Qianqian before, but he had never seen her after she woke up. Due to this, her voice was completely foreign to him.
The Sang family used Shen Shaofeng’s phone to make the call and claimed to be a relative of the Shen family. Their tone was anxious and their words showed great concern for Shen Hanyu.
Mr. Chen didn’t hide anything and told him everything that happened to Shen Hanyu.
The phone was on speaker mode. After the call ended, the Sang family’s living room was dead silent.
Sang Pengcheng’s heart seemed to be stuck and he could not say a word for a long time.
Previously, he had looked on coldly as his son and daughter fooled around. He had thought that it would be good to ask Sang Qianqian about her actual situation with Shen Hanyu. If he didn’t get a decent reply from her, he would just assume that she had actually given up on the relationship.
However, he did not expect to hear such a shocking truth.
Who would’ve thought that it wasn’t the Shen family who had wronged the Sang family, but the Sang family who had implicated Shen Hanyu?
Shen Hanyu had actually nearly died to save Sang Minglang.
The time he was hospitalized was almost the same time that Sang Minglang was sent to the hospital.
The so-called assistance to the Zhen family in other places was simply a lie.
He had not appeared for more than a month because he was in a military hospital in Beijing.

Shen Shaofeng was helped into the guest room to rest, but the Sang family had a sleepless night.
The next day, Shen Shaofeng woke up with a hangover. He only felt a headache and did not know what he had said last night.
When he went downstairs, the Sang family members were already waiting for him in the living room. They looked like they did not sleep well last night, and there were dark circles under their eyes.
Sang Qianqian’s eyes were especially red and swollen.
Shen Shaofeng only thought that he had drunk too late last night and disturbed them, which made him feel even more apologetic.
When they bade farewell and left, Sang Pengcheng, Sang Minglang, and Sang Qianqian personally sent Shen Shaofeng to the airport.
Shen Shaofeng did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Sang Pengcheng’s attitude towards him was much gentler than yesterday. It was as if he had something to say, but in the end, he did not say it.
The car drove on for a long time. When Shen Shaofeng turned back, he found that the Sang family was still standing on the side of the road, looking over from a distance.
Shen Shaofeng remembered that when he and Hanyu had come to the Sang family to discuss the wedding date with Sang Pengcheng, the Sang family had also stood by the roadside to see them off.
For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart. As a father, Shen Shaofeng naturally hoped that Sang Qianqian could stay by Hanyu’s side.
However, that would be too unfair to Sang Qianqian, just as Hanyu had said.
He had dragged the girl for three to five years, and in the end, he couldn’t give her anything.
How many years could a young girl have in her life? When that time came, Sang Qianqian would probably have to sacrifice the happiness in her life.
Even Shen Shaofeng was worried, not to mention Hanyu.
Breaking up was Hanyu’s last act of giving Qianqian his blessings. Although Shen Shaofeng’s heart ached for his son, he respected his decision.
—
The atmosphere in the Sang family’s living room was even more stagnant than last night.
Sang Qianqian looked up at her father. “Dad, I think…”
Sang Pengcheng sighed silently. “You want to look for Shen Hanyu?”
He had originally made up his mind not to let his daughter leave Yuecheng so easily.
However, Shen Hanyu’s accident had something to do with the Sang family, so he knew that his daughter would not just ignore it.
He still tried her best to persuade her. “Qianqian, Dad doesn’t object to you going. However, Shen Hanyu is determined to break up with you. Even if you go to him, he might not be willing to see you. You might only make things more difficult for him.”
“I will have a way.”
Sang Qianqian had already made up her mind. “Dad, I want to leave today.”
Before the capital, she had to go to Europe to find someone.
Sang Qianqian was not sure how long she was going to stay there, but she did not want to waste a single day.
Because neither she nor Shen Hanyu could afford to wait.
“Qianqian,” Sang Pengcheng’s expression could not hide his sadness, “If you encounter anything outside, you must tell your family. Don’t force yourself.”
This meant that he had agreed to let her leave today.
Sang Qianqian looked at her father, who was obviously old, and felt a lump in her throat. “Father, you must drink those medicines on time. Don’t forget.”
When he mistakenly thought that his son and daughter were not around anymore, Sang Pengcheng was almost crushed by the fatal blow.
When he was in Beijing, he was still holding on to his last breath. When he returned home, he felt relieved, but his body suddenly became ill.
Sang Qianqian had prescribed him a lot of traditional Chinese medicine for his health. These few days, she had been personally brewing the medicine for her father, but once she left for the capital, it would be a long time before she could do that again.
“Don’t you still have me? I’ll take good care of Dad.”
Sang Minglang continued, saying seriously, “In the future, Dad doesn’t have to worry about the company’s matters. You just have to help me find out which girls in Yuecheng are good.”
Sang Pengcheng could not believe it. “Minglang, are you serious?”
“Of course.”
Sang Minglang laughed, “Didn’t you always want me to get married? Only when there’s a suitable candidate can I get married, right?”
Sang Pengcheng was overjoyed.
His son, this iron tree that had not bloomed for ten thousand years, had finally opened his mind and thought toward marriage.
This news somewhat washed away the sorrow from his daughter’s departure. Sang Pengcheng was finally a little comforted.
“Brother, don’t force yourself. This is about marriage. You have to think it through.”
When they went upstairs to pack their luggage, Sang Qianqian reminded Sang Minglang in a small voice.
She knew her brother’s intention. He just wanted to make her father happy, but marriage was a serious matter. She had to be careful.
“I’ve thought it through. I didn’t want to get married in the past because I was still holding a grudge.”
Sang Minglang replied indifferently, “However, it doesn’t matter now. After fighting with the past for so long, it’s time to let it go.”
With him being so honest, Sang Qianqian’s heart felt like it had been lifted. “Then I’ll be looking forward to seeing a sister-in-law the next time I come back.”
Sang Minglang’s lips twitched. “Sure, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.”

That day, Sang Qianqian left Yuecheng and flew to Europe.
