“Zhen, don’t be angry. When you’re angry, it hurts my heart. This kind of despicable person isn’t worth your anger.” Shen Mei’s fingers gently caressed the man’s chest, her demeanor alluring and affectionate.
Li Zhenting continued to support her as they walked towards the hospital room, his face still dark.
“Zhen, actually, I think Jing Chenxi and my sister are quite compatible. Six years ago, even before your divorce, he was already getting close to my sister…”
Shen Mei spoke seemingly casually, but jealousy brewed within her. Back then, her goal was clear: if she couldn’t marry Li Zhenting, she had to marry Jing Chenxi. Before meeting Li Zhenting, she had even attempted to seduce Jing Chenxi. Unfortunately, he hadn’t spared her a glance. Now, if Jing Chenxi could win over Shen Ning, she thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing. She knew that the Jing family would never accept Shen Ning, at most, she’d become a secret lover.
“Stop.” Her words were abruptly cut off by Li Zhenting’s stern shout.
Shen Mei stared at him in fear.
“Meimei, go rest in the hospital room. I’m leaving.” Li Zhenting released her hand and turned away.
Shen Mei watched his infuriated back and a smile curled at her lips.
The more Li Zhenting humiliated Shen Ning, the happier she became. It seemed that Shen Ning’s influence on Li Zhenting wasn’t as significant as she had imagined. She could relax a bit.
Shen Ning, you insist on coming back to endure this abuse. Let’s see how long you can hold out!
Shortly after, a young man hurried over.
“Ms. Shen, this was found in Shen Ning’s office. According to surveillance footage, she mixed this into her perfume.” The man handed her a small black bag.
She took it, opened it, and found a small bottle of black liquid inside. When she uncorked it, a strong moldy odor nearly made her vomit.
She quickly sealed it shut.
“All right, I understand.” Shen IVIei put the item into her bag. “Peruvian resin isn’t available in the market right now, is it?”
“That’s correct, there won’t be any for at least a week.” The man smirked.
Shen Mei smiled and handed him a bank card.
The man took it and promptly left.
Li Manor.
“Ding Ding, this is your favorite braised pig’s feet. Would you like to have a small bite?” Li Wanqing held a bowl in front of Coco, tempting him.
“I won’t eat.” Little Coco pouted, very stubborn.
“Oh, my dear grandson, what am I going to do with you? It’s almost afternoon, and you haven’t eaten anything. Are you trying to starve your grandma?” Li Wanqing sighed with a look of distress.
“Grandma, if you make Daddy not marry Shen Mei, I’ll eat. Otherwise, 1’11 just starve.” Little Coco’s face turned red as he spoke stubbornly.
This was his second big move, refusing to go to kindergarten and staying at home to pressure them.
Li Wanqing was Li Zhenting’s mother, and usually, sons would listen to their mothers. He wanted Li Wanqing to pressure Li Zhenting into canceling the wedding with Shen Mei.
This time, even Li Wanqing was puzzled. Although Ding Ding wasn’t very close to Shen Mei, after all, she was his birth mother. In this world, which biological child didn’t want their parents to be together?
“Ding Ding, can you tell grandma why you don’t want Daddy to marry your mommy?” She had lived for so many years, but she still couldn’t understand this.
“Because she’s bad.” Coco thought for a moment before replying.
“Then can you tell grandma what bad things she’s done to make you hate her so much?”
Now Coco couldn’t answer.
He hadn’t actually witnessed Shen Mei doing anything particularly bad. She had slapped him and Shen Ning, but those actions didn’t seem bad enough to warrant such hatred.
“Is it because she hit you last time?” Li Wanqing chuckled. Which parent didn’t discipline their children? These days, Shen Mei had also been caring for him, which Li Wanqing had noticed.
“No, it’s because she’s not my mommy.” Coco couldn’t make up a reasonable explanation and blurted it out in frustration..
