There is a white round table in the middle of the grass of Yunjin Garden, with a huge parasol overhead. The round table is filled with all kinds of snacks, melons and fruits.
Shen Yin and Shen Anrong sat around the round table. Shen Yin still couldn't shake off the anger just now: "Mom...they said that to you, aren't you angry?"
Shen Anrong took a sip of tea and shook her head: "After so many years, I have become accustomed to hearing and listening, so I don't feel angry anymore. Now I can still live in this exquisite mansion and be my Anran Mrs. Tang." , outsiders look very envious and jealous. Yin Yin, my mother is very contented."
"But--."
Shen Anrong covered her hand with kindness in her eyes: "Yinyin, what I'm most worried about now is you, do you know?"
"I..." She muttered, "I know." She lowered her head, her eyes evasive. The reason why she suddenly came back today was because her mother made a big fuss about the miscarriage on a TV show and in the police station. Yesterday, Qin Muzhen had warned her to resolve the matter, but now that she was actually face to face with her mother, she didn't know how to speak?
"Yinyin, you don't have to worry." Shen Anrong smiled, with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "That bitch Xia Tong has been sued by me. The lawyer said that based on the evidence and circumstances currently available, That woman will definitely go to jail. Yinyin, you don’t know how happy your mother is, she can finally avenge you!"
"Mom——." Shen Yin covered Shen Anrong's hand and said hesitantly: "Mom, you really don't have to do this for me. This matter has not been investigated clearly. Xia Tong is not necessarily the one who drugged me. People, if you make such a fuss, it will make people think that our Shen family is being aggressive."
"Yinyin——."
"Mom, withdraw the lawsuit!" Shen Yin bit her lip and interrupted her.
Shen Anrong pushed her hand away, slightly surprised: "Yinyin, is this your own idea?"
"This is what Mu Chen and I share." Shen Yin said, "Mu Chen has decided that the wedding will go ahead as usual. He doesn't blame me anymore. I don't want him to hate me because of this incident. Mom, since this incident has passed, Let’s not mention it again and let it fade away.”
"How is that possible?!" Shen Anrong became angry: "Yinyin, why did you suddenly become so weak? Aren't you afraid that the woman will take advantage of you and act like a obedient person, and next time she will openly step on your head and do something like this? Something more outrageous?"
"But Mom... I'm so tired..." Shen Yin lowered his head and held up the tea cup on the table: "You always say that this is for my own good, and that is for my own good, but have you ever thought about what I really need? What?"
"I..." Shen Anrong was speechless.
Shen Yin sat next to her, taking good care of her, but still covering her hands with a somewhat old look: "Mom, I am already 29 years old, and I have long been tired of the exciting ups and downs in the entertainment industry. Rumors. Now, I just want to quit quietly, then marry Mu Chen, and be an ordinary housewife with peace of mind. I really don’t want to put my no longer young heart in the limelight of the entertainment industry, you know ?”
Shen Anrong opened her mouth, but was speechless. She patted the back of her hand for a while: "Is this really what you think?"
Shen Yuan nodded vigorously.
Shen Anrong sighed quietly: "Since you have brought your words to this point, I have no choice but to reluctantly agree to let that Xia Tong go."
"Mom, have you agreed to withdraw the lawsuit?" Shen Yin's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Yeah", Shen Anrong smiled, but slightly raised her eyebrows: "But you can ask me to withdraw the lawsuit, but I won't agree to let her off easily like this."
"Mom——." Shen Yin shook her arm like a baby.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass her." Shen Anrong patted her daughter on the shoulder: "You can avoid jail, but you lost a child no matter what you said before. Is it not too much to ask her to apologize in public? "
"Mom..." Shen Yin was about to say more, but was interrupted by Shen Anrong with a wave of her hand: "You don't have to plead for her anymore. This is the biggest concession that mother can make. If you can't even do this, then I and I That woman can only be seen in court.
Seeing her mother's resolute expression and decisive tone, Shen Yin could only nod her head as she had indeed reached a point of no return: "Well, I will go to Xia Tong to discuss it and try to resolve this matter peacefully."
Next, the two of them chatted about some household matters, which eased the tension that had been lingering between them since the beginning. Shen Yin slowly took a sip of tea, and suddenly thought of something: "Mom, wait until I get married. After Mu Jue, you should also divorce Tang Zhenbang. I saved a lot of money from singing, which is enough for us and my wife to survive for the rest of our lives. Even without him, I can make you live a good life."
Shen Anrong shook her head: "No need..."
Shen Yin didn't understand: "Why? He treated you like that, why do you have to stay in this house as a widow and depend on others? Don't you feel uncomfortable having to endure people's rumors and face an unfaithful husband? ?”
"You don't understand..." Shen Anrong said slowly: "When a woman reaches my age, love and other things are no longer so important. At least now, I have a husband in name and a noble husband. identity, that’s enough.”
"But - these are all false. Mom, you are such a good woman, but you have never found love in your life. Don't you think it's a pity? I really hope you can find someone who truly loves you before your hair turns gray. You understand? Your man will accompany you throughout the rest of the journey."
"But what if I can't find it?" Shen Anrong asked back: "If I get divorced but can't find the person in my mind, how many people will roll their eyes behind my back, poke my spine, and laugh at my greed? .”
"Mom, people have to live for themselves, why do you care what outsiders think? As long as you live with peace of mind, live a free and happy life."
Shen Anrong smiled noncommittally, and suddenly said with some meaning: "Yinyin, you seem to have a lot of opinions about Zhenbang?" She hesitated: "Do you hate him very much?"
"I..." Shen Anrong's rhetorical question made her pause, and she suddenly felt almost suffocated. Even though the sun hanging above her head was glaring, Shen Anrong only felt cold.
In a daze, she seemed to hear her quiet cries every night she was raped in the past many years.
Quietly, not daring to be discovered.
"No...no..." After a while, she spoke and smiled unnaturally: "No way, my father is so good to me, how could I hate him?"
"Yes -" Shen Anrong touched her hair gently: "In the past ten years, although he has not been doting on me, he has always treated us mother and daughter very well. How could you be so kind back then? Quickly establish yourself in the entertainment industry and become famous. He has also done a lot of hard work behind the scenes. How can you hate him?"
Looking at the gentle smile radiating from the inside out on the face of the woman in front of me when she mentioned that man, she was speechless for a moment, so she could only turn her face away and stop talking.
