Chapter 78
“Are you sure you’re doing the right thing?” Shen Ron looked at her askance.
“All I know is that the old man will either die of cold or disease if he keeps this up.” Cheng Lydia spoke with a serious look on her face.
“Heh, I forgot, you’re a white angel.” Shen Ron sneered as he tossed that off and turned in the direction of the car.
Shen Ron drove off in his Bentley.
Cheng Lydia’s mouth dropped open as she watched his car quickly disappear into the twilight. What did he mean by that? Leaving her here?
This man, even if she had done something to displease him, he didn’t have to be so desperate as to leave her here, did he?
“Secretary Cheng, let me take you home.” Assistant Peng walked over to her.
Cheng Lydia nodded and got into his car.
Pulling up her seat belt, Cheng Lydia looked at the stony-faced Assistant Peng and asked, “Do you also think I did wrong?”
Assistant Peng smiled lightly.
Cheng Lydia followed up with a question like, “Or do you think CEO Shen was right to do that?”
Assistant Peng swept her head, still smiling lightly, “CEO Shen has his own principles and thorough consideration, you will understand in a couple of days.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s not clear with you.” Assistant Peng asked, “CEO Shen is going back to Shen Mansion tonight to report to the old lady about her work, what about you? Which way do you plan to go back?”
Cheng Lydia was slightly surprised, sizing him up, he already knew about her relationship with Shen Ron?
It wasn’t really surprising, he and Shen Ron were together every day, sooner or later he would have picked up on some clues.
“Go back to Shen Mansion.” She said.
She made this decision on impulse, of course, she also had to make a report to the old lady, after all, Shen’s was not hers, she was not yet qualified to make any decision related to the company’s interests in private.
No sooner had Shen Ron arrived than Cheng Lydia followed him back to Shen Mansion.
The old lady looked at the two people getting out of the car, one after the other, and asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you work together at the company today? Why did you go back separately?”
“Yeah, I’m wondering about that too.” Cheng Lydia said as she stared at Shen Ron.
Shen Ron looked at her askance, so angry he wanted to swallow her in one gulp, but had to blossom into a smile and walk over to take her hand, “I thought you said you weren’t coming back this way? How come you’re back?”
“Whichever way you go back, of course I’ll go back too.” Cheng Lydia smiled at him.
“That’s right, husband and wife, inseparable.” The old lady smiled and took the two men’s hands, “Come in, we’re waiting for you to eat.”
The dinner was cooked to perfection, and it looked like it had been specially prepared.
Shen Belle smiled as she surveyed Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia and asked, “What? Not having a good time in the two person world?”
“No.” Cheng Lydia smiled at her, “Your brother has work to report to Grandma.”
“Oh, I’d say so.” Shen Belle smiled and bowed her head to eat.
Shen Ron was just about to speak when Mrs. Shen interrupted him, “Let’s talk about work later, you’ll stay here tonight.”
“Is there a problem?” The old woman asked afterwards as she surveyed the pair.
Cheng Lydia shook her head, “Of course the question.”
“Ron what about you?”
“And I’m certainly fine with that.” Shen Ron looked up and smiled at her.
When he returned to his bedroom after dinner, Shen Ron casually tossed his coat onto the couch, turned on the TV with the crank, then sat down on the couch and lazily nestled in. He didn’t look at the TV screen, but closed his eyes and relaxed.
Cheng Lydia walked over to him and stood in front of him, staring down at him with a condescending stare, “Shen Ron, what do you mean by that?”
It’s okay to leave her over on the west side of town and put such a baggy face on her, what the hell did she do wrong? That Baron was obviously very sick and she was saving lives!
“I’m trying hard to think of a remedy for that.” Shen Ron’s eyes opened abruptly to stare at her.
“What do you mean?” Cheng Lydia sat down heavily on the couch across from him, “That Baron is so old and his two grandchildren are so young, where are you going to let him stay when you flatten his house? Give him a suite to live in, consider it a kindness, it’s not like it’s a big deal to you.”
“Didn’t you already promise someone? There’s no point in saying anything, shut up.”
“Look at the way you just treated Baron, what an unsympathetic, cold-blooded animal!”
“So what? It doesn’t matter how cold-blooded I am, if I’m bad for the whole world, as long as my heart is hot for you.”
“I’d rather you be good to the world and bad to me alone.” Cheng Lydia said.
Shen Ron gasped, “If everyone was forced to die to get their way, then how else would Shen develop the project, it would have been shut down long ago.”
“Baron’s situation is different.”
“Which of the people who would occupy the state capital Toby in the west of the city to secretly build dwellings are not poor families? Twenty years ago they circled and built indiscriminately, trying to take state land for themselves. Today, twenty years later, they are asking for money in the form of land sovereignty, the company is distributing three hundred thousand dollars per household out of humanitarianism, they are too small, then I will not give a single cent, see what they can do with me” Shen Ron smiled coldly: “In two years, the playground will definitely be built as planned.”
It turns out he was in such a hurry to develop the project to get the playground built in two years, to get it done before Yang June left …
Cheng Lydia took a light breath and said, “Baron’s house was partly built by you to help him, with fond memories of you and Ms. Yang, and for that alone you should help his …”
“That’s enough, leave me alone.” Shen Ron interrupted her.
Cheng Lydia scanned around the bedroom, “The bedroom is only so big, where do you want me to stay?”
Shen Ron was on fire, getting up from the couch and quickly striding towards her, picking her up across the room and heading in the direction of the king-size bed.
Cheng Lydia whimpered and yelled in an emotional manner, “Shen Ron what are you doing? Are you trying to use force again …?”
With a ‘bang’, before she could finish the words that came out of her mouth, Shen Ron had already unceremoniously thrown her inside the king-size bed, and pulled the covers over her with his hands, leaning down, bracing his hands on the bed on either side of her body to gaze at her and grit his teeth, “If I could, I’d like to strangle You’d be done.”
With that, he stood up straight and turned toward the bedroom door.
Cheng Lydia sat up from inside the covers and stared at his back calling out, “Shen Ron where are you going?”
Shen Ron turned back and looked at her with a cold sneer, “Reporting to Grandma, what? You want to report together?”
Cheng Lydia was dumbfounded.
She really should have gone to report to the old lady about her work, just …
“Why don’t … you just talk to Grandma for me.” She really lacked some courage to go, for fear that the old lady would be as angry with her as Shen Ron was.
“I will.” Shen Ron tugged at the corners of his lips impishly and turned to leave the bedroom.
