735 Love to Hold Grudge
Shen Yong’s face was pale. He gritted his teeth, and his cheek muscles were tight, but he didn’t make a sound.
“Daddy didn’t say anything. He was just too angry…” Shen Sisi’s scalp went numb, but she forced a smile and said, “Sister, why do you have to go against daddy? You and daddy are always at odds with each other, is that right? Why would you, as a child, blame your daddy? Sister, you’ll only make a fool of yourself by doing this.”
Make a fool of herself? Who would laugh at her? The last time Shen Yong stood up and publicly used the one million yuan to slander Shen Hanxing. After the truth was revealed, apart from the netizens who felt sorry for Shen Hanxing and were angry for her, a large number of people stood up and said the same thing as Shen Sisi. They said that Shen Yong was Shen Hanxing’s daddy after all and that children should not bear grudges against their daddy. Shen Hanxing had seen and heard too many such comments, such as “there are no wrong parents in the world” and “after all, he’s your biological daddy”. It was as if Shen Yong should be forgiven no matter what he did to her because of their blood relationship. How ridiculous. When had she ever cared about what other people thought?
Shen Hanxing’s eyelashes quivered before she chuckled. “I’m a person who loves to hold grudges. I don’t care what others say or think. If you make me unhappy…” Her voice suddenly turned cold, with a bit of ruthlessness, “Don’t blame me for not showing mercy!” After that, she didn’t want to waste more time and hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Shen Sisi froze on the spot, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. She didn’t know if Shen Hanxing’s last sentence was a warning to Shen Yong or if she was pointing at her. No matter which possibility it was, Shen Sisi was still very angry. “Don’t blame me for being merciless then.” Shen Sisi thought. She also wanted to see who the final winner between her and Shen Hanxing would be!
Shen Hanxing did not take the matter to heart after throwing out those harsh words. She changed into a long dress and went downstairs. Grandma brought Ji Ning and Ji Qian in from outside, a bright smile on her face. When she saw Shen Hanxing coming downstairs, she rebuked, “Hanxing, why have you become lazier after you got married? Look at what time it is. You only get up late in the morning. Aren’t you afraid that your sisters will laugh at you?” Although she said that, her grandma’s eyes were filled with relief and happiness. Her granddaughter had led such a cool life in the past. She had followed her useless grandma since she was young and had never had a good day. When she was six or seven years old, she had to step on the bench and cook for herself. She had to wake up before dawn every day and pack her things after making breakfast. She had to send the garbage she picked up to the recycling station to exchange for money before taking a shower and going to school.
Grandma couldn’t remember when Shen Hanxing stopped lazing around in bed. She only remembered that she had been sensible, obedient, and quick-witted ever since she was young. Seeing that she was getting married and was getting livelier by the day, even a little more mischievous and willful, learning how to laze around in bed and act coquettishly, grandma felt both gratified and bitter. Fortunately, God was kind to her granddaughter, and her life was getting better and better.
“Sister-in-law slept late last night,” Before Shen Hanxing could say anything, Ji Qian spoke out for her and pulled grandma to sit on the sofa. “Sister-in-law has been working hard every day. It’s good for her health to sleep more!”
Ji Ning nodded as well, then said shyly, “Sister-in-law is not lazy at all.”
Grandma couldn’t stop smiling when she saw how Ji Qian and Ji Ning were so protective of Shen Hanxing and wouldn’t allow anyone to badmouth her. She wasn’t really criticizing Shen Hanxing. She was happy that the Ji siblings treated Shen Hanxing with sincerity.
“Alright, grandma won’t scold your sister-in-law anymore,” The wrinkles on grandma’s face were all smoothed out. She patted Ji Qian and Ji Ning’s hands and asked Shen Hanxing with a smile, “Hanxing, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
“I’m a little hungry,” Shen Hanxing rubbed her stomach. She had eaten the night before, so she was famished this morning. She didn’t feel it when she was on the phone, but now that her stomach was empty, she felt terrible. After some thought, she couldn’t help but smile. “I want to eat the wonton grandma cooked. I haven’t eaten grandma’s cooking in a long time. I’m really craving it.”
“You little girl, the moment you wake up, you want to torment this old woman,” Grandma laughed and tapped Shen Hanxing’s forehead. She stood up and said, “Okay, everyone at home pampers you. Grandma will go and make you some wonton.”
