I frowned slightly. I didn't know this person.
The man stood in front of me, and I looked at him doubtfully. " "You are?"
Glancing at the nameplate on the left breast of his suit, I chuckled inwardly.
Knowing that the boss's mother and wife were here, the staff didn't dare to be negligent. They had already adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to its most comfortable state. The faint scent of roses filled the air; it was likely to be perfumed with perfume.
A fresh fruit plate was placed on the tea table, and the water in the teapot had been boiled. Coffee, tea, fruit juice, all kinds of beverages could be seen. This treatment was even higher than the VIP guests in the presidential suite.
Do they think that Shen Yiru and I have a deep relationship with each other and come here to chat?
I took off my jacket and removed the silk scarf around my neck. I poured myself a cup of mineral water and poured Shen Yiru a cup of Pu'er.
After that I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV and watched the news while I waited for her.
There were reports about Lou Shaotang's case on the news. The most popular piece of news at the moment was this case, which was being discussed everywhere. Right now, no one had any objections to Lou Shaotang being sentenced to death. There were only disputes as to whether he would be sentenced to death.
Some asked legal experts to analyze the case and the basis of the sentence, others asked sociologists and celebrities in the media to arrange the debate, etc., etc. In my opinion, all of these programs are just spending Lou Shaotang's fame to use this case to increase the viewership ratings.
At that moment, the host and a few other members of the financial world were discussing about who would take over the position of CEO of "Tianyue" after Lou Shaotang was imprisoned. Most of the people believed that it was Qiao Chenfei, some even thought that it was Lou Yuanhai, they thought that he had deep qualifications, during the three years Lou Shaotang had become a vegetable, he had always been the CEO, thus he was more likely than Qiao Chenfei.
Listening to their heated discussion, there were even more people who ridiculed it, no matter who's house was in the end, this was the's Second House's overall victory. My heart felt extremely uncomfortable.
Hearing the sound of the room card, I realised that Shen Yiru was here. I quickly turned off the TV using the remote control. If she saw it, she would be even more upset than I am.
Just as he placed the remote control back onto the table, Shen Yiru walked in.
I was surprised to see her.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and although her face was powdered, it could not hide her haggard appearance. Her originally jet-black hair had actually gained white hair at the temples. The once noble and arrogant spirit was now completely gone, replaced with a lifeless dejection. He looked ten years older.
I slowly stood up from the sofa. The word "mom" was in my mouth for a long time, but I didn't say it out loud.
Shen Yiru did not call for me, she placed the bag on the sofa. I thought she was going to sit down, but instead she dropped to her knees and plopped down on top of me.
My mind went blank.
"Mom, what are you doing?" After a few seconds, I reacted. I quickly grabbed her arm to help her up.
Shen Yiru pulled my hand to stop her, "Tu Ying, I beg you, only you can save Shao Tang now!"
she said, and burst into tears.
I stopped, my heart thumping.
"Mom, what do you mean? "I don't understand." I looked at her in surprise.
Shen Yiru's tears quickly covered her entire face, "Go ahead and divorce Shao Tang, I beg of you!"
I have not completely recovered from Shen Yiru's sudden action of kneeling and begging me, and am once again stunned by her words.
"Please, Tu Ying!" Seeing me standing there without saying a word, Shen Yiru held my hand and continued to speak. "I don't want to see Shao Tang die, and you don't want to either, right? As long as you divorce him, he will be safe. "
Her words jolted me awake as if I had been struck by lightning.
"Did Di Jin look for you?" I asked.
It must be.
Otherwise, why would Shen Yiru's attitude suddenly change? He must have told Shen Yiru that as long as I divorce him, she would be free.
Great! Since there's no way out with me, I'll take Shen Yiru.
Shen Yiru did not answer directly. Looking at my stomach that was stuck in front of her, she said: "Children are not Shao Tang's, you have done things that let him down, you are no longer worthy to be with him."
She tried to make me do it. My heart is bleeding.
"I have let Shao Tang down for this matter, but I also said it, it's not what you think."
"I don't care what it is, it's a fact that you've let him down!" Shen Yiru still didn't listen to my explanation, "Divorce him, Tu Ying, I beg of you!"
She was heartbroken and kept crying. My heart felt as if it were being torn apart, and tears ran down my cheeks.
I closed my eyes and clenched my hands into fists, but there was a thought pounding in my head.
After a while, I opened my eyes that were filled with tears and slowly said, "I won't divorce Shao Tang." "My tone of voice was firm and resolute, as I persevered on with my promise to Lou Shaotang. I promised him that I would never leave him in this lifetime, regardless of life or death. "
Hearing that, Shen Yiru's face was filled with anger, "How can you be so selfish!?" Even though she was angry, she didn't roar at me like she used to at me. Instead, she cried even harder and said, "You promised him, have you considered me?" She slapped her hand to her chest. "At my age, you want me to send a black-haired man? Do you know how I brought the Great Shao Tang? Do you know how much I've suffered in order to cultivate him into a good person? He's been a vegetable for three years. Don't you know how I've endured? "
Her voice was full of tears as she asked one question after another, as if she was hammering a heavy hammer on my broken heart.
Yes, I know.
It's not easy for Shen Yiru to live these past few decades. I have experienced the bitterness of bringing up the Great Lou Shaotang, as I'm like her, leading the Great Little Yu by myself.
Lou Shaotang was her only, and also her entire being.
Once she lost Lou Shaotang, her entire world would collapse.
Seeing that I did not respond, she changed the subject and said, "Also, you think that I will believe you and protect Shao Tang's purity for my entire life? If you were really like this, you wouldn't have done anything that would let Shao Tang down! "
She raised her hand and pointed it at my stomach.
I didn't want to argue with her again.
Seeing that I was still unmoved, Shen Yiru withdrew his angry face and begged me weakly once again, "Tu Ying, I beg you, please save Shao Tang, divorce him. Shao Tang cannot die! I can't go to jail either! Tu Ying, I beg of you! I beg of you! "
Looking at Shen Yiru who was kneeling on the ground, crying so hard that she did not look human, tears were on my face. Every breath I took caused my internal organs and bones to hurt.
If it wasn't for Lou Shaotang, how could the overbearing her treat me? This daughter-in-law whom she has looked down upon all her life knelt and begged, her attitude as low as the dust.
I can't bear it, but I can't do it. I have already made a life and death agreement with Lou Shaotang.
I closed my eyes. With a sharp heartache, I said ruthlessly, "I'm sorry."
Shen Yiru was startled, and immediately stood up. Because she had kneeled for too long, her feet were numb, and she lost her balance and fell to the side.
"Mom!" Startled, I hurried to support her.
She flings her hand so hard that my face hurts.
"Don't touch me! I'm not your mother! " she snarled at me. "You wicked woman! Shao Tang treats you so well, for you, he can even give up his life, but you treat him like he's dead! Tu Ying, how can you be so ruthless! I curse you to die a horrible death! "Scram!"
She slumped down on the couch and covered her face with her hands, sobbing at the top of her lungs.
I wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't because I was in too much pain myself.
I don't want to lose Lou Shaotang either, I want to save him. But by doing so, it would hurt Lou Shaotang's heart.
How can I hurt him when he loves me so much?
Afraid that my emotions would collapse just like Shen Yiru's, I didn't linger and quickly left the room.
Because I was worried that Shen Yiru would be too sad, and that nothing bad might happen to him, I called Li Bin and told him to go to his room to take a look. Five minutes later, he called me back and said that he had already sent a car to take Shen Yiru back to Garden.
I was relieved. Because I was too depressed, I didn't let the driver drive me home, nor did I let the bodyguards follow me. Instead, I walked back alone, but before I knew it, I had arrived at the detention center.
Standing at the door, looking at the cold steel door, I cried. I took out my phone and sent a message to Lou Shaotang: Hubby, I miss you.
Ever since I left the facility that day, I had been sending him messages every day like this, telling him what I was feeling, what I had done, what I had eaten. Even though I knew he wouldn't see it, I insisted on sending it to him. Because only through this kind of talk can I expel the strong and indelible yearning for him.
Just as he was about to put his phone back into his pocket, a message notification rang.
I opened it and was surprised.
