Chapter 702: 189: It’s Too Late for Regrets_4
“Whimper…” Zhao Ziqing covered her mouth and cried loudly.
“Mother, let go of my sister!” Zhao Zijun walked over to pull Zhao Ziqing away.
“Get out of my way!” Shangguan Furong swung her hand, sending Zhao Zijun flying into the corner of a table. His forehead was instantly covered in blood.
“Shangguan Furong, what are you doing!” An old voice suddenly emerged in the air.
“Brother!” Zhao Ziqing pulled herself free from Shangguan Furong’s grasp and ran to Zhao Zijun’s side.
Old Lady Zhao pounded her walking stick on the ground, “Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs! Look at what you’ve done!”
Only then did Shangguan Furong notice the injured Zhao Zijun.
“Ah!” She cried out in agony and collapsed onto the ground.
How had her life come to this?
“Grandma, it doesn’t hurt. Please don’t blame my mother.” Zhao Zijun walked up to Old Lady Zhao and glanced back at Shangguan Furong.
Old Lady Zhao closed her eyes.
The child was a good boy. It’s a shame he had the wrong mother.
“Come, Zijun, let Grandma take you to get your wound cleaned.” Old Lady Zhao held Zhao Zijun’s hand.
“What about Mother…” Zhao Zijun looked back at Shangguan Furong, who was laying on the ground.
At this moment, Shangguan Furong seemed like a madwoman.
Her eyes were filled with despair, devoid of any signs of life.
Anger clouded Old Lady Zhao’s face, “Don’t worry about her.”
No matter what, Shangguan Furong shouldn’t have taken her anger out on the children!
She had already proven herself as an unfit mother in the first half of her life, and yet, in the second half, she continued to harm her children!
As for this matter, Old Lady Zhao had initially intended to simply give Shangguan Furong a warning.
She wanted Shangguan Furong to understand that the Zhao Family didn’t rely on her.
Yet she never expected that Shangguan Furong would show no signs of remorse.
Zhao Ziqing also felt some fear towards the Shangguan Furong from earlier, and held onto Old Lady Zhao’s hand tightly, “Right! Let’s not care about her!”
The Zhao Family had a family doctor. After examining him, the doctor frowned, “The wound is quite deep, stitches are needed, and it might leave a scar. Remember not to eat any cold or spicy food for a while.”
“A scar?” Old Lady Zhao became anxious, “Doctor Wu, is there any way to prevent scarring?”
The injury was on Zhao Zijun’s forehead. A scar would disfigure him.
Doctor Wu shook his head, “There’s no medicine that can prevent scarring, but luckily the wound isn’t big and a scar won’t ruin his appearance too much. You don’t need to worry.”
“Grandma, I’m okay. Please don’t blame my mother.” Zhao Zijun tugged on Old Lady Zhao’s sleeve.
Old Lady Zhao sighed.
Zhao Shen didn’t come home until late.
Old Lady Zhao was sitting at the dining table, the food on it had gone cold.
“Mother, you haven’t eaten? It’s late, you don’t need to wait for me.” Zhao Shen put down his briefcase.
Old Lady Zhao glanced at Zhao Shen, “Sit.”
“Okay.” Zhao Shen nodded, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
Old Lady Zhao took a bite of the cold food, “How do you plan to handle the situation with Lin Fang?”
Zhao Shen said, “I want a divorce from Shangguan Furong, and to marry Lin Fang.”
After an afternoon’s consideration, Zhao Shen felt that he could not wrong Lin Fang.
Just because Lin Fang was kind didn’t mean she deserved to be bullied.
“Are you sure?” Old Lady Zhao looked up at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen was very determined, “Yes, I’ve decided. Lin Fang is kind and dignified, I want to be with her!”
Before Old Lady Zhao could respond, a disheveled Shangguan Furong walked over from the other side, “I don’t agree! I won’t divorce you! If you want a divorce, it’ll happen over my dead body!”
Otherwise, she wasn’t stepping aside for that wretch of a woman!
That wretch thought she could replace her and marry Zhao Shen?
That would never happen!
In just a few hours, Shangguan Furong seemed to have aged more than a decade. Her eyes were swollen and red, and her face was without a trace of color.
Compared to Zhao Shen, it was as though nothing had happened to him.
This was the disparity between men and women.
“Furong, our relationship has already come to this. What’s the point of not divorcing?”
“I don’t care, I’ll never divorce you!” Having said that, Shangguan Furong turned and made for the stairs.
Old Lady Zhao sighed, “After all, she is the mother of the two kids.”
The family splitting up was not the result Old Lady Zhao hoped for.
“This marriage cannot continue.” Zhao Shen’s attitude was very firm, “I cannot let Lin Fang suffer.”
Shangguan Furong, unwilling to divorce, locked herself in her room for days and wouldn’t speak to anyone.
Ever since the situation had come to light, Zhao Shen had become increasingly brazen, often bringing Lin Fang to the Zhao family villa, and would occasionally spend the night.
