Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo! - Chapter 1526
Chapter 1526: I Only Have One Question for You
Shen Shanghua sighed deeply. “Why are you here today?”
Shen Fanxing bit her lips and remained silent for a while before asking slowly,
“Can you tell me why you want to stay here?”
Shen Shanghua was silent for a long time before sighing.
“Because I want to atone for my sins. With my remaining life.”
Shen Fanxing asked calmly, “Can you redeem it?”
Everyone was guilty, including herself.
But she had never thought of redeeming it. Because of everything she had experienced, every choice, and every decision, she had no regrets.
Even if what happened back then happened again, she would still make the same choice.
She didn’t believe in gods and Buddhas like that. If there was sin, everyone had it.
What happened, happened. What was wrong was wrong.
You can only pay the price for your mistakes. You will never redeem yourself or repent.
Atonement?
She just wanted to have a peace of mind.
Shen Shanghua shook his head. “I can’t redeem it. I only hope that I can exchange it for the right to pray. I hope that you can live a better life.”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and asked, “Are you praying for me?”
“Other than that, I don’t know what I should do for you. Whether you accept it or not, that’s my intention. It has nothing to do with anyone.”
Shen Fanxing nodded and looked at the Buddhist scriptures in silence.
“I’m here today to ask you a question.”
“Go ahead,” Shen Shanghua said calmly.
“How can you indulge Jiang Rongrong so brazenly?”
Shen Shanghua frowned and asked, “Why do you ask?”
Shen Fanxing looked at him and said coldly, “Don’t tell me that she’s your wife. She’s been with you for her entire life. It’s only right for you to dote on her. It’s only right for you to dote on her. I have no right to interfere, but… I’ve said it before. You’re not pampering her, you’re indulging her.”
As she spoke, she scanned the simple courtyard and gave a cold smile.
“Is your so-called redemption for yourself or for her?”
Shen Shanghua’s calm expression finally changed. Shen Fanxing’s words made him uncomfortable.
Shen Fanxing narrowed her eyes at him.
“After all these years, I know that you used to be a principled person. The elders of your generation couldn’t say anything against you back then. Even they found Jiang Rongrong’s attitude strange. They all said that you didn’t seem to dote on her. Instead, it seemed like… you had something on her. Or… you felt guilty towards her…”
Shen Shanghua looked up at her.
“What guess do you have?”
His tone was guarded.
Shen Fanxing smiled. Indeed…
“I don’t know your past, so I don’t know what you did back then to make Jiang Rongrong control you to this extent.”
“Since you want me to guess, why don’t I guess…”
Shen Fanxing spoke calmly as she looked at the pink furry gloves on her hands. Her lips curled into a cold smile.
“If this man still has a conscience, he should know that the most guilty thing a man can do to a woman is to… cheat on her. And the most guilty thing a husband can do to his wife is to cheat on his wife and betray his family.”
Shen Shanghua’s expression finally changed. There was no longer any calmness on his face.
Shen Fanxing sneered inwardly. Shen Shanghua was disappointed.
She had experienced too much betrayal.
Su Heng and Shen Qianrou had secretly hooked up. To her, it was disgusting and dirty.
Wasn’t loyalty to a relationship everyone’s principle and bottom line?
If a man couldn’t even do that, how could he earn the respect of others?
Shen Shanghua’s image in Shen Fanxing’s heart plummeted once again.
“Let me guess.” Shen Fanxing clasped her hands together and looked at Shen Shanghua coldly. “The highest level of a husband’s extramarital affair. The family is harmonious and beautiful, and there’s a mistress in the house. If a mistress has an illegitimate child, doesn’t that make life even more perfect?”
Shen Shanghua lowered his head, so no one could see the expression on his face. His arms were trembling visibly.
Xu Qingzhi and Sang Yu looked too shocked.
Xu Qingzhi, who had been to the Shen family since she was young, seemed to be in disbelief.
“Grandpa Shen, you…”
She never expected that the person who was always kind to others when she was young would do such a thing.
She really couldn’t tell that he was someone who would betray his family.
What did Xu Qingzhi think of Shen Shanghua’s affair?
It was as unbelievable as the sudden appearance of the abbot’s son.
It took her a long time to regain her rationality.
“No… Fanxing, I don’t think Grandpa Shen will… Your guess has no basis at all… Don’t misunderstand Grandpa Shen…”
The smile on Shen Fanxing’s face remained aloof. She loosened her grip and stood up slowly, her eyes never leaving Shen Shanghua.
“I don’t believe that it’s true either. So many things have happened in the past. I only have doubts in my heart, but I’ve never thought deeply about it. Back then, this thought had been growing crazily in my heart, but I ignored it.
Because even if I didn’t want to believe it, I didn’t dare to think that you would be such a person. Even if you didn’t really help me back then, it was a blessing for you to exist in my heart when everyone wanted to kill me. I didn’t want to destroy the only beauty in my heart.
I don’t want to think about it. As long as you’re my grandfather, that’s enough…”
Shen Shanghua looked up at Shen Fanxing and his lips trembled. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.
Shen Fanxing looked down at him coldly.
“Just like today. If my guess is right, the grandfather in my heart will no longer exist…”
“Fanxing…”
Xu Qingzhi could hear the disappointment and sorrow in Shen Fanxing’s voice and couldn’t help but call her softly.
Shen Fanxing’s eyes reddened slightly. She ignored Xu Qingzhi’s words and continued to stare at Shen Shanghua.
“So everything I’ve experienced all these years, my only respected grandfather, is actually the culprit! Because of your guilt towards Jiang Rongrong, you’re using my life to make it up to her? As long as she wants to, she can do anything. You can indulge her lawlessness, even if you have to compensate me?”
