Shi Mei faced the question as if she tilted her head to think for a moment before swiftly responding, "Because I like my husband, he is the best."
Lin Hang was at a loss for words.
Her intelligence now was that of a five-year-old’s.
To her, everything was the simplest it could be.
Because she liked, that’s why she liked.
And he, was he destined to miss out?
Lin Hang couldn’t accept it.
His gaze lowered slightly as he continued to feed her cake, his thoughts drifting far away.
Shi Yuanyuan and Shi Bingbing sat opposite each other in the café, playing with their phones, when Shi Bingbing suddenly said, "Sister, does Lin Hang really have money to help us? He looks so young, and he just graduated from abroad, about the same age as Shi Mei. I somehow feel it’s unreliable."
Stirring her coffee with a little silver spoon, Shi Yuanyuan glanced unintentionally in the direction of the private room and said, "He definitely has money, it’s just a matter of how much. The Lin Family is also a wealthy and influential family, that much we can believe."
"Is he serious about Shi Mei?" Shi Bingbing felt somewhat disgruntled. "What’s so good about Shi Mei anyway? Before she became foolish, she couldn’t say anything coherent for the life of her, and Lin Hang actually liked her so much. Now, even though he clearly knows she’s foolish, he hasn’t given up. He even wants to buy her from our family. It’s a pity, though, Shi Mei is already married to Shi Lingyan. The money Uncle got from Mr. Shi must be over a hundred million, right?"
"Who knows? But we didn’t get much of that money. It all went to waste in the business failures of Uncle and Shi Yunchang, that prodigal son. However, the 200,000 we’re getting from Lin Hang this time, we absolutely must not let Uncle’s family find out about it, or at least half of it will be taken away."
"Surely not," Shi Bingbing’s face revealed disbelief, "Uncle’s family isn’t lacking to the point where they need that hundred or 200,000, right?"
"Whether they lack it is one thing, wanting it is another," Shi Yuanyuan sipped her coffee. "But I feel that Lin Hang’s feelings for Shi Mei are just so-so. He was abroad for several years, and during all that time, we never saw him, despite how Shi Mei was living. Now that she’s finally living a good life, he’s come back to reconnect with her. It also requires the Shi Family’s approval."
"I feel like Old Mrs. Shi would definitely agree," Shi Bingbing lowered her voice, "wasn’t there Old Lady Shi’s birthday banquet a while ago? I observed a bit, and I noticed that she really liked the Senior Sister—not just her, but Mr. Shi too. He couldn’t take his eyes off the Senior Sister. Considering Shi Mei is foolish, if he wanted to divorce her and get together with the Senior Sister after, it would be understandable."
"Do you think those high-born families are like us?" Shi Yuanyuan laughed. "After that birthday banquet, almost everyone knew Shi Mei was a fool, and Mr. Shi, despite knowing this, was willing to marry her, which speaks volumes about his loyalty and righteousness. The flatterers are all making a big deal out of this point. If Shi Lingyan and the Senior Sister dare let slip a hint of impropriety now, Shi Lingyan’s reputation would be ruined."
Shi Bingbing’s eyes widened, "So they can’t get divorced?"
"They can divorce, but it can’t be that Mr. Shi cheated first," Shi Yuanyuan whispered. "If a divorce is to happen, it has to be the wife who errs first. That way, Mr. Shi and the Senior Sister’s reputations can be preserved."
"Mr. Shi would never do that."
"Of course Mr. Shi wouldn’t, but don’t forget, he has a troublesome grandmother."
Lin Hang, Lin Hang (heng), not Shi Lingyan, not Shi Lingyan (yan).
