Chapter 102
“You can’t leave!” Zhang Jane grabbed her wrist with a serious face, “I’m not trying to scare you, hurry up and come with me to the old lady and admit your mistake.”
“I’m not going!” Ho Gina struggled.
“You have to go!” Zhang Jane grabbed her wrist in a death grip and yanked her in the direction of the living room, seeing her deadpan refusal, Zhang Jane spoke as if to threaten, “Do you want me to call the old lady here?”
That worked, and after giving her an annoyed glare, Ho Gina turned on her heel and headed in the direction of the living room.
Before stepping into the living room, Ho Gina paused to adjust her mood, her lips curving into an extremely natural light smile, only until she felt ready to step inside.
“You wanted to see me, old lady?” She stood in front of the old lady, smiling lightly and sweetly.
The old lady raised her eyes, looked her over from top to bottom, and opened the door, “Lydia said you secretly gave her the birth control pills? And that you set up the car accident?”
Ho Gina didn’t expect the old lady to ask so directly, fortunately she came prepared and kept her face just right: “Do you believe her or me, old lady?”
“I believe her.” The old woman said.
Ho Gina froze, which she hadn’t expected.
She was a little anxious: “Old madam how can you trust her? Didn’t you say it yourself, she and the youngest have moved out, how can I still drug her? And the car accident, I can’t foresee the future, how can I know which car she will drive out? Besides, I’m not familiar with vehicles …”
“All right!” The old lady interrupted her with a jaded look, “Do you really think I’m old and confused? Deceiving me with lies over and over again, and the last poisoning incident do you think I really believed your words and believed that you were innocent? I didn’t want to punish you and give you a chance to change your ways. It seems that my decision last time was wrong, not only did you not learn from your mistakes, but you’ve also changed for the worse!”
“I didn’t, I really didn’t.” Ho Gina shook her head, deadpan denials were what she did best, and naturally she wouldn’t let it go.
“Did you always want me to find the evidence and lay it out in front of you?” The old lady gritted her teeth, “I tell you Ho Gina, if it comes to that, don’t blame me for being unforgiving, I’ll put you through jail!”
“I …” Ho Gina said dumbly.
Zhang Jane, who was on the side, rushed to the old lady and knelt down in front of her, tears streaming down her face, “Old lady, you mustn’t do this, Gina, she’s still so young how can she go to jail? You will ruin her for life.”
Zhang Jane finished and then turned to Ho Gina, pulling her coat and pleading, “Gina, just admit it, in fact, Old Lady guessed that you did it a long time ago, she defended you so much, why are you so ungrateful?”
“I … I admit what ah, Mom are you old and confused? How come even you don’t believe me?” Ho Gina yelled in exasperation. Even her mother didn’t help her, which made her anxious, angry and helpless.
The old woman suddenly leaned over and stared indifferently at Ho Gina: “You really didn’t do anything?”
“No. …”
“Well then, I’ll call the police department right now to come and open a case and clear your name.”
The old woman finished and moved over, making a move to pick up the phone and dial.
Ho Gina panicked, the last line of defense in her heart finally collapsed, she jumped up, hugged the old lady’s arm and cried, “Old lady, don’t call, please don’t call the police.”
If they really let the police department open an investigation, they would be extra diligent in solving the case by virtue of The Shen Family’s position of power, and then she would really have no way out. If she confessed to the old lady, she would at least be sure that she would not be punished too severely.
Looking at her tear-stained face, the old lady was instantly distressed.
Though she had long guessed it, she was disappointed, lost, and more than a little sore to hear her admit it herself!
Ho Gina, whom she had always loved as her own granddaughter, whom she had just given a chance to, had actually done such an unethical thing?
The old woman clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and only after a long time was she able to steady herself, said out of the corner of her eye, “What do you say, what shall I do with you, Gina?”
“Old Madam, I was wrong, please give me another chance, I won’t dare to do it again …” Ho Gina pounced on the old lady and begged with tears, and began to play the sad card, Cheng Lydia used this trick in front of the old lady did not work, but she knew that her words would work, the old lady still had old feelings for her.
The old lady coldly shrank her legs back and said, “I’m giving you two choices now, first, apologize to Lydia and marry the second young master of the Ding family immediately, second, apologize to Lydia, go work at the American branch and never return to The Shen Family again, let alone see the eldest young master or Lydia. ”
Having decided to keep Cheng Lydia, it was a choice of last resort to get rid of Ho Gina.
Ho Gina froze, tears filling her eyelashes as she stared at the old woman in consternation.
Although the second young master of the Ding family is not as handsome as Shen Ron, but his family back is not bad, his looks are civilized, and his words and actions are also civilized, he went to the same school as Ho Gina and is two years older than her. He has been pursuing Ho Gina for a long time and has always been the candidate in the minds of the old lady and Zhang Jane.
But Ho Gina’s heart is all in Shen Ron’s body and she can’t even look at others.
Now the old lady wanted her to marry Young Master Ding in the shortest possible time, and naturally she was reluctant to do so.
“What? You think this punishment is too harsh?” The old lady sneered as she looked at her shocked expression.
“It’s not heavy, it’s not heavy at all.” Zhang Jane shook her head and finished, pulling Ho Gina’s arm and shaking it desperately, “Gina, old madam has already been kind to you, why don’t you quickly thank old madam, young master Ding is true to you, just agree to marry him.”
“Kindly and righteous?” Ho Gina shook off her mother’s hand in disgust, her face smiling worse than tears as she looked askance at the old lady, “Forcing me to marry a man I don’t love, is that called being benevolent? Old Madam, you know very well that I am infatuated with Young Master.”
“It is because you are infatuated with the young master that I must hurry up and marry you off and break off this undeserved thought of yours!”
“Why? Why can’t I marry the young master? What about me is not as good as that Cheng Lydia woman?” Ho Gina shouted with tears in her eyes, “All I did was because I loved the Young Master too much. In order to get closer to the Young Master, I studied hard and tried to become good. But what does Cheng Lydia have? A divorced woman, a woman who had an affair with Master Gu, what qualifications does she have to be the young master’s wife? Why do you prefer to choose such an unpleasant woman than never consider me, old madam? Why?”
“Gina, stop it …” Zhang Jane tearfully discouraged.
Her daughter’s bitter love for Shen Ron is something she understands and is more heartbroken than anyone else.
“Don’t you touch me!” Ho Gina shook off Zhang Jane’s hand and twisted her head to glare at her hatefully, “Are you my real mother or not? You must not be, right? How else would you treat your own daughter like this? Even if you never help me, you are always holding me back. People who are mothers want their daughters to live a happy and joyful life, but what about you? What about you …?”
“How can you talk like that Gina …” Being so hated by her own daughter, Zhang Jane was so pained that she couldn’t say anything.
Ho Gina just cries and tries to get the old lady to take back her orders, because she can’t do either the first or the second point.
Marrying Young Master Ding she will despair for the rest of her life, leaving LS City to go far away to America she will suffer for the rest of her life.
The old lady took a deep breath and said to her, “It’s not that I don’t give you a chance, it’s that God doesn’t give you a chance, you and the young master grew up together and spent a lot of time together, but the young master doesn’t have any feelings for you. In less than six months, she was able to make him die for her, can you? No, so you’re not suitable.”
Ho Gina laughed bitterly, “If you had insisted on marrying me to the Young Master, with the same tough attitude as you insisted on marrying Cheng Lydia to him, perhaps the Young Master could have fallen in love with me and died for me today.”
“Stop fooling yourself, if you love the Young Master you should know his temperament, you are simply not his type. If I were to marry you to him, then not only would you be lonely and isolated for the rest of your life, but the eldest young master would also be empty for the rest of his life.” The old lady stood up from the sofa and leaned over her, “I’ll give you a day to think about it, and tell me your decision by the evening.”
The old woman took two steps, turned her head to look at her and added, “Whichever way it is, the future can be a springtime for you, and if you have any conscience left, you should be grateful for the kindness and generosity I have shown you.”
Once out of The Shen Family mansion, Cheng Lydia had no idea where she was supposed to go again.
At this point it didn’t seem right for her to go anywhere, it was useless to go to the hospital, and she couldn’t really go jumping off a building and force herself to die.
She sat alone on the chilly riverfront, letting the cold wind burrow into her body.
Perhaps because it was so cold, the long stretch of the riverfront was almost deserted except for the crowds of people coming and going. It seemed to her that all these people were much luckier than her, at least they all had busy goals.
Cheng Lydia gathered the collar of her bodice and watched the river’s noisome ships move until her eyes grew tired of looking at them, then she withdrew her gaze and struggled to close her eyes.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
When she opened her eyes, she suddenly found half a small head peeking out of the guardrail directly in front of her. She was stunned, who had been so desperate to sit outside the guardrail?
She rose from the stone chair and stepped in the direction of the small head, a young boy of about six or seven, dressed extremely thinly and sitting with his legs dangling from the outside of the parapet. With his back to her, Cheng Lydia couldn’t see his face or the expression on his face.
Cheng Lydia sized him up for a moment before her lips lifted slightly and she called out with a smile, “You can’t sit there, little one, it’s dangerous.”
When the boy turned his head at the sound of the voice, it was a beautiful-looking child whom Cheng Lydia immediately recognized as the boy with congenital heart disease whom she had been involved in seeking treatment for. She remembered him because he was beautiful and had a touch of Shen Ron in him, and because he was also named Shen, and she even remembered the boy’s name was Shen Kerwin.
Stunned, Cheng Lydia asked out of breath, “How is it you?”
The little boy sized her up and asked in surprise, “Do you know me, sister?”
“Know each other, I know your name is Shen Kerwin, right?”
“How does my sister know me?”
“Because I’ve treated you, I’m a doctor.”
