Chapter 159 Metaphysical True and False Bronze Inscriptions: False Gold 9
Shen's mother suddenly swept everything off the coffee table and onto the floor, shattering teacups into pieces.
Seeing his wife's outburst, Mr. Shen's initial guilt turned into impatience. He frowned and said, "That's enough, don't go too far."
"I'm being unreasonable?" Mrs. Shen asked incredulously.
Mr. Shen sneered, "It's just a little thing, isn't it? Who in our circle doesn't keep a few mistresses? She won't threaten your position as Mrs. Shen, so why are you reacting so strongly?"
Mrs. Shen was trembling with rage. She pointed at Mr. Shen and yelled, "Shen Zhenghua, you shameless bastard! How could you say such a thing? Get out! Get out of here!" Mrs. Shen roared.
Mr. Shen said unhappily, "This is the Shen family home, and this house is mine. You want me to get out? All these years you've been living a life of luxury at home, without earning a single penny. You've been Mrs. Shen for so many years, and you're still not satisfied?"
Shen's mother was so angry that she trembled all over.
Shen Jiayi couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward, saying, "Dad! How could you say such things to Mom? Over the years, Mom has managed all the household affairs and taken care of us siblings. Even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious, she has certainly worked hard."
"It's your fault for having a lover outside the marriage, and now you're so self-righteous in criticizing Mom. Have you thought about what will happen if your older brothers find out?"
A guilty look flashed in Mr. Shen's eyes. The eldest son of the Shen family is now able to stand on his own in the company, and the second son has also made a name for himself outside.
If they found out that I was having an affair and had a child out of wedlock, they definitely wouldn't let it go.
Mr. Shen's tone softened: "Chia-Yi, don't tell your older brothers about this. I'll handle it."
Shen Jiayi frowned: "Dad, you must break off your relationship with that woman as soon as possible and apologize to Mom, otherwise I can't protect you either."
Shen Chumo clicked his tongue twice, "Third brother, you really are Dad's good son."
Shen Jiayi said helplessly, "Mo Mo, can you stop being sarcastic at a time like this?"
Mrs. Shen sat on the sofa, covered her face, and cried bitterly. Mr. Shen stepped forward and coaxed her, "Wife, I was wrong. Don't be angry. What if you get sick from being angry?"
That woman is a piece of trash. Don't worry, I'll break up with her right away, send the child away, and I promise I'll treat you well from now on and never do anything to betray you again.
Mrs. Shen turned her head to the side, refusing to look at Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen continued, "Okay, hit me then. I'll let you hit me as much as you want until you're satisfied, okay?"
Mr. Shen grabbed Mrs. Shen's hand and was about to slap him across the face, and it looked like he was about to actually hit him.
Shen's mother pulled her hand back, wiped away her tears, and looked at Shen's father: "Shen Zhenghua, I'm giving you one last chance. If you still don't repent, we'll get a divorce."
Mr. Shen raised his hand and swore, "Don't worry, I will never do it again, or may I be struck by lightning."
After calming down Mrs. Shen, Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked up at Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with heartache, "Momo, tell me, what kind of mess do you want to make of this family?"
Shen Zhenghua is about to start shirking responsibility.
Shen Chumo asked doubtfully, "But Dad, aren't you the one who did wrong? Mom is clearly the innocent one. If I keep hiding it, wouldn't I be betraying Mom just like you?"
Mr. Shen was speechless for a moment.
Shen's mother glared at Shen's father and said, "You still want to blame others? If Mo Mo hadn't told me, how long would you have planned to keep it from me?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Mr. Shen lowered his head and dared not speak again.
Shen's mother's face was full of resentment. Although she had just said she forgave Shen's father, the thorn in her heart could never be removed.
But she was also well aware that her interests were inextricably linked to Shen's father's, not to mention the several children they had together; a divorce would only benefit someone else.
She had absolutely no way of giving up her position as Mrs. Shen, so she could only accept the situation gracefully.
Shen Chumo clapped her hands with satisfaction, "Mom, I was just saying that people should tell the truth, isn't that better?"
Shen's mother glanced at Shen Chumo, no longer wanting to speak, seemingly having lost all strength and ability.
"Then I'll go back to my room first," Shen Chumo said with a smile.
Watching Shen Chumo's departing figure, Shen's mother felt a chill in her heart. She rubbed her temples, her head aching. She suddenly remembered how Shen Qianyu would always come and gently massage her when she was feeling unwell.
When she sprained her ankle while out, Shen Qianyu didn't mind the dirt and massaged her foot for her.
She suddenly realized that Shen Qianyu had been away from the Shen family for several days, and she wondered how she was doing.
At this moment, Shen Chumo received a report from Tuanzi that Shen's mother's level of remorse had reached 30%.
Shen Chumo nodded. It seems that one only knows the pain when the knife cuts into oneself.
Shen Chumo went upstairs to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, Shen Jiayi stopped it with his foot.
Shen Chumo turned around and asked curiously, "Third Brother? Is something wrong?"
Shen Jiayi's face was already quite pale, but he still tried his best to control himself.
"MoMo, are you in a bad mood today?"
Shen Chumo shook her head innocently, "No, I'm just in a really good mood today." Shen Chumo laughed, and her radiant smile made Shen Jiayi momentarily dazed.
He frowned and asked, puzzled, "If you're in such a good mood, why did you talk to Mom and Dad like that today, almost causing them to divorce? Mo Mo, you weren't like this before."
Shen Chumo looked at Shen Jiayi with a strange expression. "Third Brother, do you think that keeping it from Mom all this time is for her own good?"
Shen Jiayi scratched his head and said irritably, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that you could talk to me first. We could talk to Dad and ask him to get rid of that woman."
So, as long as the lover is driven away, can Shen's father pretend that what he did was never done?
If Shen Jiayi gets married, he'll definitely be a scumbag.
Shen Chumo nodded and sighed, "Third Brother, there's something I've been keeping from you. I was going to tell you, but now that you've said it, I think I'll pass."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayi immediately felt a little flustered. "Wait, what are you talking about?"
Shen Chumo tilted her head and looked at Shen Jiayi, "But Third Brother, didn't you just say that these things don't need to be told to the parties involved? Why do you want to know now?"
Shen Jiayi's cheeks flushed slightly, a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance on his face.
"MoMo, stop teasing me. What do you know? Tell me quickly."
Shen Chumo felt a sense of satisfaction seeing Shen Jiayi's anxious expression.
She beckoned to me, "Come here, I'll tell you quietly."
Shen Jiayi leaned closer, and Shen Chumo whispered, "This matter is..."
Suddenly, Shen Chumo pushed Shen Jiayi forward and said something to Shen Jiayi's astonished gaze.
"I'm not telling you!"
After Shen Chumo finished speaking quickly, she slammed the door shut.
Looking at the tightly closed door, Shen Jiayi realized he had been tricked. He knocked on the door.
She said somewhat angrily, "Mo Mo, how could you play me like this?"
