Chapter 152: Liang Wenfei And Shen Lichuan’s Wedding Date
“……No.”
Wells didn’t understand love, but he understood a man’s possessiveness, domineering and stingy towards women.
He had originally intended to ignore it, but since Liang Chaosu asked, he naturally had to report in detail.
“After Miss Lian Cheng heard about the situation in Huaxia, she stared at the ceiling for a long time without speaking, and then only said, ‘I dragged him down.'”
“Dragged him down…”
On the phone, the man seemed to repeat it, his voice barely audible.
Wells wasn’t sure either. He held his breath and fell silent for another two seconds.
The man only said, “Take good care of her.”
……………………
After several phone calls indicated the phone was off, Mother Liang put down the receiver, realizing she had been blocked.
Liang Chaosu resented them, and Mother Liang had anticipated this the moment she made her decision.
Young love is like that, burning like a raging fire, regardless of cost, regardless of consequences, without reason, the greater the obstruction, the more one wants to break through the shackles.
But what happens when you truly get it?
Not to mention Gu Xingyuan, the precedent of someone who lost all power, status, and future prospects. Just look at the children of the nobility who have overcome everything for love over the years, disregarding their status and family background, insisting on marrying ordinary women. Are their marriages happy now? Are they blissful?
No.
Some, driven mad by the greedy faces of their partners’ families, have their relationships nearly shattered.
Some have had their affection worn away by the daily grind of trivial matters, returning to their philandering ways.
Others, exhausted from battling their careers alone day after day, finally understand that their parents’ emphasis on compatible backgrounds was correct.
In this life, decades are too long. Single love cannot fill every minute, every second.
Mother Liang, having lived through half her life, would rather Liang Chaosu resent her now than lose his future prospects, be attacked from all sides, and end up with nothing in middle age, regretting it deeply.
But she still worried about Liang Chaosu’s health. She sat alone indoors for a while, then called Father Liang.
“I ask you, since Lian Cheng is resolved, why are you blocking Chaosu, preventing him from seeing her one last time so he can truly give up and let go?”
Without waiting for Father Liang’s reply from the other end, Mother Liang’s tone became sharper.
“And Liang’s, Chaosu has returned, why aren’t you letting go, still pressing him step by step? Chairman Liang, are you lying to me? You’re not trying to force Chaosu to return to the country at Liang’s, you just want to fight him for power and control, to protect your status.”
Father Liang was stunned. He waved for the executives who were reporting to him to leave, then walked to the small lounge by the bookcase. “Nianci, your words are too harsh.”
He sat down on the sofa and unbuttoned his suit jacket. “Not letting Chaosu go to Iceland is because we’re afraid that in his desperate anger, he’ll do something reckless. Look at him now, if he’s not under our supervision, can you rest assured?”
Mother Liang, “Don’t fool me. What’s going on with Liang’s? He’s at the peak of his resentment now, and you’re still suppressing him, forcing him. Aren’t you afraid he’ll hate you?”
Father Liang leaned forward, picked up his teacup, and poured a glass of water. “Where am I suppressing him? It’s only temporary. Nianci, I’m over sixty now. What benefit is there in fighting for power and control, other than making outsiders laugh and damaging our father-son relationship?”
Father Liang felt uneasy and gave a perfunctory reply.
This time, he had actually lied to Mother Liang.
The real reason for preventing Liang Chaosu from returning to Iceland and for not letting go of Liang’s was his suspicion that Lian Cheng was still alive.
This was because Shen Lichuan’s reaction after Lian Cheng’s supposed death was not right.
He was, after all, a young man, not astute in worldly affairs, and lacked emotional control.
Although he showed pain, hatred, and regret, even losing his reason and wanting to call off the engagement, and later being stopped by the Shen family, he refused to cooperate, stating he would not appear at the wedding.
His decisive severance after the hatred was also well-executed.
But Father Liang’s mind kept replaying those few seconds when Shen Lichuan came down from the rooftop.
It wasn’t the hysteria of a life-and-death parting, but rather anger that surpassed hatred.
Father Liang took a sip of tea, the scalding hot water burning his throat.
He frowned and put down his teacup. “Feifei’s wedding is tomorrow, and Shen Lichuan still resolutely refuses to attend?”
“Yes, Feifei said he’s at Shen’s company, refusing to see her or his parents.”
Mother Liang was filled with rage, almost burning through.
“He’s always helping that troublemaker Lian Cheng from behind the scenes, showing he’s not over her. Now that you’ve discovered it in advance, and Lian Cheng is gone, he definitely hates you to death.”
“It’s good that the wedding is off, but him regretting it three days before the wedding, without giving anyone a chance to react, and now Feifei has just moved in with the Shen family. If we notify the guests now that the wedding is off, what will outsiders speculate about Feifei?”
Speaking of this, Mother Liang’s heart ached. “Feifei is even carrying a child, three months along, her belly is already showing. After breaking off the engagement, what about this child?”
At the same time, on the top floor of Shen’s Group.
Father Shen, with a team of bodyguards, forcefully opened Shen Lichuan’s office door.
Shen Lichuan’s secretary was pinned against the wall by a bodyguard, still trying to reason, “Chairman, President Shen hasn’t rested for a day and a night, he just fell asleep—”
“I also haven’t rested for a day and a night. Feng Chengshu, you are his secretary, and more importantly, an employee of Shen’s.”
Father Shen’s anger had erupted into a raging inferno. He couldn’t maintain his years of refined cultivation anymore as he strode into the room.
The bodyguards had been instructed not to follow, and they closed the door tightly, guarding the entrance.
The president’s office also had a small lounge with a bathroom.
Father Shen went straight there, twisted the door open, and on the bed directly opposite the door, Shen Lichuan was lying on his side, actually sleeping.
The curtains were drawn inside, making it dim and dark. In the heavy shadows, his dark circles were more pronounced, and his stubble made him look disheveled, not like someone who hadn’t slept for a day and a night, but rather as if he hadn’t slept for a week.
Father Shen gritted his teeth, suppressing his boiling anger. Without turning on the light, he walked over and called out to wake him, his tone relatively gentle.
Shen Lichuan was sleeping deeply, and was truly exhausted. It took several pushes from Father Shen to wake him up.
“Father?”
He blinked slowly, then suddenly sat up. “Why are you here?”
Father Shen was angry, annoyed, and heartbroken, and also disappointed. “Tomorrow is your wedding with Liang Wenfei. She’s already staying at our house, and she’s carrying your child. What are you thinking? Do you have any sense of responsibility as a man?”
Shen Lichuan lowered his eyes and tidied his clothes.
After a pause, he asked hoarsely, “What is responsibility?”
Father Shen laughed in anger at this. “Responsibility is being responsible for the woman who is carrying your child, and shielding them from storms.”
Shen Lichuan clenched his fist, his knuckles turning pale from the exertion.
It was this responsibility that bound him.
Four years ago, Liang Wenfei and Liang Chaosu conspired to switch the engagement, and he had to take responsibility.
He had to bear the responsibility for Liang Chaosu’s despicable and shameless actions that harmed Lian Cheng for four years, and for Liang Wenfei bullying her for four years.
Now that these four years of persecution have been revealed, as parents, Father and Mother Liang are not looking for problems with their children, but are instead trying to deal with the victim, demanding Lian Cheng’s death and the death of her child.
At this very moment, he still had to have responsibility towards Liang Wenfei.
Then who would take responsibility for Lian Cheng?
