Chapter 777: Glad
What was he doing?! Shen Yuanqi’s body s.h.i.+vered involuntarily. He looked at Xia Ning with his cloudy eyes, filled with regret.
Back then, he did not give Yunning any a.s.sets because he wanted to cut off her retreat and let her come back to beg him. Who knew she was so stubborn?
And he did not know that when they divorced, she was already pregnant with their child.
He did not expect the girl who resembled her to be his child. The daughter he had been looking forward to day and night.
“Why didn’t she tell me?” Shen Yuanqi closed his eyes and said in a low voice.
“Tell you what? Tell you she’s pregnant with your child? Please don’t divorce her?! Ha…” Xia Ning sneered. “Then you will take her in out of kindness and she will have to live with that mistress and illegitimate daughter who humiliated her?! You guys did something depraved, but it doesn’t mean others will do it with you.”
If any junior dared to talk to him like this in the past, Shen Yuanqi would have been furious long ago. But to Xia Yunning’s descendant, what right did he have to be angry?
Xia Ning sneered. At this moment, she looked down on people like Shen Yuanqi. He said he loved his grandma and was full of arrogance. If his grandma did not divorce him back then, the outcome would not be any better.
Grandma divorcing him could be considered as an escape. But what about his mother? He did not even acknowledge his own daughter.
“I’m very glad my mom did not grow up in the Shen family.” Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi and said suddenly, “I’m also glad you didn’t acknowledge her in the end. If she was born in the Shen family, she would have to go through more hards.h.i.+ps and see more dirt.”
Shen Yuanqi looked at Xia Ning suddenly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he could not make a sound. At this moment, his heart ached.
He closed his eyes and said in pain, “I thought she was your grandmother and her second husband’s daughter.”
“Really?” Xia Ning chuckled. “Even if that’s the case, don’t you feel any compa.s.sion when you see her and Grandma’s faces? Don’t you have any doubts? Is Xia Yunning that kind of person in your heart? In the end, it’s not that you don’t have any doubts. It’s just that you don’t dare to admit your mistake. You would rather make a mistake than be scolded by others and say you abandoned your wife and daughter!”
“No, it’s not like that!” Shen Yuanqi looked at Xia Ning and said in a hurry. Because he was talking too fast, he could not breathe. He covered his mouth and coughed violently.
Xia Ning saw Shen Yuanqi’s agitation and felt even more ironic in her heart. The more she a.n.a.lyzed this person, the more she realized how selfish he was.
“Yes, it was not like that. Because at that time, you knew your father split the Shen family’s business into two and gave you and Xia Yunning each half. Because Xia Yunning was not around, you took her share. But if her daughter came back at this time, all the money would be hers. Not only do you not admit that Shen Chuxia is your daughter, but you also don’t want to admit that Xia Yunning gave birth to a daughter. So you are pretending to be deaf and mute.” Xia Ning chuckled. “It’s ironic. A father being afraid that his daughter would take the family inheritance, so he did not acknowledge her. Maybe only the Shen family can do this. Your good son is like you, not even acknowledging his own sister. He just watched her die on the operating table!”
“No, it’s not like that,” Shen Yuanqi said in a low voice. “I really thought she was Yunning’s child with someone else. Donglai didn’t know either…”
Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi and wanted to laugh. Was he still trying to deny it now? The selfishness of the Shen family was carved into their bones.
“Do you know what my mom told me before she pa.s.sed away?” Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi and saw him looking at her. He held her breath and listened to her voice. She curled her lips and smiled eerily. “She has the same thoughts as you. She said she doesn’t have a father or a brother. There are millions of people with the surname Shen in this world. She has nothing to do with your Shen family.”
