“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?”
Xu Qingzhi fell silent.
If that was the case, then as Fanxing had said, how could this kind and benevolent old man deserve her favor?
Because he had let Jiang Rongrong down, he could let her do whatever she wanted?
This included the series of unfair treatment that Jiang Rongrong had given Fanxing in order to favor Shen Qianrou. She slandered Fanxing and didn’t trust her. For Shen Qianrou, she snatched everything that originally belonged to Fanxing. She even sent Fanxing overseas and tacitly acknowledged everyone’s prejudice and disdain towards Fanxing…
In the end, Jiang Rongrong and Shen Qianrou plotted against Fanxing together and poured cold water on her repeatedly…
What she knew, what she didn’t know, everything. If they came together, how would he teach Fanxing to choose to forgive him indifferently?
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Grandpa, you haven’t answered my question. Or you can directly deny or admit that my guess is right or wrong?”
Actually, Shen Shanghua’s expression had already given her an answer.
She only thought cruelly…
She wanted Shen Shanghua to admit it personally and cruelly kill her feelings for him.
Shen Shanghua’s lips were trembling and his eyes were fixated on Shen Fanxing.
The sarcastic smile on Shen Fanxing’s face was like a knife, leaving bloody marks on his face.
Other than being embarrassed, he had no right to say that it hurt.
Embarrassing. It was too embarrassing.
After living for so many years, he actually made her life so unbearable.
“Fanxing, I’ve let you down…”
“Ha…” Shen Fanxing sneered. “When you found out that Shen Qianrou wasn’t your biological granddaughter, you apologized to me. I thought you were apologizing for the love you and Jiang Rongrong had for her and for repenting on behalf of Jiang Rongrong. Now, it seems like that’s not the case. You’ve always been apologizing for yourself…”
Shen Shanghua shook his head, his face full of shame and regret.
“No matter what, I’ve always let you down.”
“Maybe I asked for too much.” Shen Fanxing shook her head sarcastically and sadly.
“In this world, there are no elders who have to dote on and protect their juniors. The law doesn’t state clearly that as elders, you have to give us something. Even if Shen Qianrou isn’t your biological granddaughter, as long as you’re happy, you can leave all your love and assets to her. I’ve always known that you don’t owe me anything.”
It’s just that I feel sad seeing how others behave but I’m different. Without you guys, I can still live well.”
As she spoke, she chuckled and said, “Actually, it’s good that we’re both well. When I think of you guys occasionally, I feel that it’s useless to fuss about some things. Out of my conscience, I can’t do the best, but I won’t refuse to do it either. I can’t even bear to part with a stranger, let alone the blood of your Shen family.
‘And I’m not short of money.’
However, the premise is that you don’t force me. I can only give it to you willingly and not because I was forced.”
Shen Shanghua paused. “What do you mean forced…”
Shen Fanxing smiled sarcastically and said, “Jiang Rongrong came to the company to look for me.”
Shen Shanghua’s face darkened.
Shen Fanxing continued, “She asked me for two billion yuan in alimony. I was naturally unwilling, so she wanted to sue me.”
Shen Shanghua slammed the table angrily and stood up abruptly.
“Nonsense! How shameless!”
Shen Fanxing smirked and said, “What nonsense is this? It’s true that she’s shameless, but isn’t this all because of your indulgence?”
“The law doesn’t say that as elders, you have to treat me well. However, as long as I wasn’t killed back then and didn’t support you well, I’m guilty and deserve to be bound by morals. No matter how I defend myself, the law is the law. No matter how shameless Jiang Rongrong is, as long as she successfully appeals, the law has clear rules. If I don’t fulfill my obligation to support her, I’ll lose.”
“But who doesn’t have a temper? If I wasn’t lucky, I would have died long ago. I’m lucky to survive, but I still have to provide for those who almost killed me? The law is the law. Sometimes, the law doesn’t reason with you, but I’m wronged. It’s hard to reconcile.”
When Shen Fanxing said this, Shen Shanghua’s expression changed drastically. He seemed to have realized something as he stared at her in disbelief.
“You… you want…”
“She forced me.” Shen Fanxing interrupted Shen Shanghua. “I’ve just said that a mistake is a mistake. There’s no compensation, only a price. And you should pay for what you did back then.”
Shen Fanxing smiled at Shen Shanghua before turning around slowly.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Shen Shanghua, who was still standing there. She said calmly, “Congratulations.”
As she spoke, she turned around. Knowing that everyone had left, Shen Shanghua sat on the chair slowly. He suddenly felt that life… was just like that.
If she did something wrong, she would have to pay the price.
Tears streamed down her face, but she smiled like a child.
Shen Fanxing’s last sentence lingered in his ears.
“Congratulations… you’re going to be a great-grandfather.”
Fanxing was… pregnant.
At this point, what else could he be worried about?
Since he had done something wrong, he should be punished.
Fanxing was right.
However, the heavens still favored him.
Either way, he didn’t want anything. His rights and reputation didn’t matter anymore.
He could only rejoice that he had not caused a disaster and that Fanxing was fine.
When the group left Ling Mi Temple, the atmosphere was a little gloomy.
Xu Qingzhi and Sang Yu were suddenly confused.
The two of them only knew to come here for a trip. They had no idea that Shen Fanxing was here for Shen Shanghua.
They had yet to understand the question she had suddenly asked.
Although Shen Shanghua had cheated on Jiang Rongrong back then, it had nothing to do with Jiang Rongrong suing her now.
