Chapter 101 You are a bad fate
Chapter 101 You are a bad fate
Mr. Shao asked everyone to stay for dinner, saying that today was Mid-Autumn Festival and it was an honor for his son to celebrate it with so many people.
Everyone politely said goodbye, and Shao's father didn't want to force them.
Aunt Zhan seldom spoke, and the few words she did say were always in line with Shao's father's tone and meaning. She seemed very docile, completely different from Wang Qingwan.
When Yan Liang went out, he looked at her curiously again.
The other person seemed to be secretly looking at Yan Liang as well. When Yan Liang met her gaze, she suddenly lowered her eyes, making Yan Liang think it was his own illusion.
Jiang Xiaomei was in a bad mood after getting in the car. She stared at the receding trees outside the window without saying a word.
Sheng Boyan wanted to send them back to Dongfu Mansion, but Yan Liang suggested going to the old house to visit Sheng Shaojun. Even if Sheng Shaojun didn't want to see her, Yan Liang felt that the superficial courtesy should be there, not to mention that Sheng Shaojun really loved her.
A trace of relief flashed in Sheng Boyan's deep eyes: "If my mother's attitude is cold, don't blame her, she just has a knot in her heart that has not been untied."
"Yeah, I understand." Yan Liang said softly.
Jiang Xiaomei also wants to go. She hasn't seen Aunt Sheng for several days and misses her very much. Aunt Sheng will be happier if Chenchen can be brought along.
"Let's do it another day. Aunt Sheng is not in good health and we don't want to cause any trouble. We are just going to take a look and won't stay for long." Yan Liang had no way to explain to her and could only evade the question.
When Sheng Shaojun opened the door and saw Yan Liang, the smile on his face faded instantly. He glanced at Yan Liang with cold eyes, and his slightly pale lips trembled a few times, but he still retained his composure and let them into the house silently.
Jiang Xiaomei enthusiastically called out "Auntie Sheng!", but received only an indifferent look. She blinked in shock and turned to Yan Liang for help.
Yan Liang squeezed her hand and walked in together.
Sheng Boyan bought a few boxes of freshly baked mooncakes from Xinchang Cakes on the way and handed them to Sheng Shaojun: "Mom, this is what Yanliang bought for you. Don't you like cakes from this shop the most?"
Sheng Shaojun hesitated for a moment, took it, and put it on the coffee table.
The nanny brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of Yan Liang and Jiang Xiaomei respectively.
"Aunt Sheng, are you feeling better?" Jiang Xiaomei's cheerful voice broke the awkwardness, "Chenchen kept asking where grandma went and said he missed her!"
Sheng Shaojun's expression softened a little: "Is Chenchen good? I miss him a little too. I'll bring him here another day."
"Oh, no problem! I'll bring him to see grandma in a couple of days." Jiang Xiaomei took a sip of tea and relaxed. "Aunt Sheng, how about we go back to Dongfu Mansion for a reunion dinner tonight?"
Yan Liang secretly felt lucky that she had brought Jiang Xiaomei with her, otherwise she wouldn't know how to face this embarrassing situation. It seemed that nothing she could say would be appropriate, as she was not a talkative person.
Sheng Shaojun didn't even look at Yan Liang, he just said to Jiang Xiaomei: "No, I'm used to being alone, besides, there's Ah Yan."
Yan Liang was even more embarrassed, she no longer considered Yan Liang as a family member. If she knew that this marriage was fake, her attitude towards Yan Liang would be more casual.
The reason she felt awkward was that she couldn't force her son to divorce, nor could she accept the daughter of her enemy.
It's really hard for her, Yan Liang sighed softly.
After sitting for about ten minutes, Sheng Boyan stood up first: "Mom, let's go back first. Yanliang has caught a cold and needs to rest."
Sheng Shaojun glanced at Yan Liang with resentment and disdain, and said reluctantly: "Didn't you give her a car? She can't drive back by herself, and she wants you to be the driver!"
"Mom!" Sheng Boyan interrupted unhappily, "I accompanied Shao Qianyi out of the hospital today, so I used a car."
Sheng Shaojun pursed his lips, turned his back to them stubbornly, as if he was angry.
Sheng Boyan smiled bitterly, but Yan Liang stopped him in a low voice: "Don't send me off. Xiaomei and I will take a taxi back."
He didn't respond, but just took Yan Liang in his arms and walked to the entrance.
Sheng Shaojun suddenly rushed over and pulled Sheng Boyan's hand away from Yan Liang's shoulder: "Ayan, you can't go anywhere!"
The cold light in her eyes fell on Yan Liang's face, as if Yan Liang wanted to snatch her son away: "Get out! Don't show up in front of my son!"
Jiang Xiaomei opened her mouth in surprise and subconsciously protected Yan Liang behind her.
Seeing this, Sheng Boyan had no choice but to coax Sheng Shaojun into the house, while giving Yan Liang an apologetic look.
Yan Liang shook his head at him, telling him not to worry, and then pulled Jiang Xiaomei out the door.
Sheng Boyan stuffed the keys into Yan Liang's hand and asked her to drive the Cullinan back.
Yan Liang took it and quietly placed it on the bracket at the entrance.
"Yanliang, what happened to Aunt Sheng?" Jiang Xiaomei was still in shock, her eyes widened exaggeratedly, and she patted her chest, "The look in her eyes just now was as if she wanted to eat you, how did you offend her? Didn't she always like you very much?"
Yanliang remained silent and walked along the path towards the main road.
"Is she angry with you because you refused her request for a baby?" Jiang Xiaomei followed Yan Liang closely, her face wrinkled into a bun, "You and Mr. Sheng are so old, and she doesn't know that your marriage is fake. She must be angry because you don't want to have a baby. Can't you just agree to it first? As for whether you can have the baby or not, you can't say when you can have the baby."
Yan Liang felt as if a lead block was stuffed in her heart, heavy and her steps were a little too big. Jiang Xiaomei chased after her and shouted, "Slow down! Won't you get dizzy if you walk too fast?"
Sheng Boyan was concerned about Yan Liang, but he couldn't just abandon the emotionally unstable Sheng Shaojun.
"Ah Yan, when I see Yan Liang's face, I think of Xiao Ping. I really can't accept her appearing in front of me from time to time! If you still care about my life or death, divorce her!" Sheng Shaojun's excited tone rose several degrees, "Mom is not unreasonable. If it were another girl, I wouldn't care about her family background, even if it was someone like Jiang Xiaomei. As long as you really like her, Mom wouldn't stop you. But Yan Liang can't do that! This is my bottom line!"
Sheng Boyan looked at his mother in pain, his thin lips pursed into a line.
"You two are doomed to be together! If I had known she was the daughter of the Wang family before you got married, I would never have allowed you to get the marriage certificate!" Sheng Shaojun said, staring at Sheng Boyan suspiciously, "Ayan, tell me the truth, did you know it a long time ago and deliberately hide it from me? I misunderstood that her last name was 'Wang', and you didn't correct me. Do you hope that I will never know the truth?"
Sheng Boyan tried to get his mother to go back to the bedroom and rest so that she wouldn't get out of control, but she completely ignored him.
"How can you be at peace when you look at Yan Liang every day? Have you forgotten how your father and sister died?" Sheng Shaojun sobbed.
"Mom, I haven't forgotten! How could I forget?" Sheng Boyan's eyes were filled with dark clouds, "I have never stopped seeking revenge! But Yan Liang is different from them. She almost never lived in that house."
Sheng Shaojun stared at him disappointedly for a few seconds, then sighed, "Okay, I won't force you for now, but where is the revenge you mentioned? There's a lot of buzz online about the poisonous land, but no one from the Wang family has been arrested. What's wrong with you?"
