Chapter 311: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sang Qianqian could not help but hesitate, and her grip on Shen Hanyu’s hand tightened unconsciously.
Sensing Sang Qianqian’s strange behavior, Shen Hanyu glanced at her. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
“Don’t you have a lot of rules in your family?”
Sang Qianqian was slightly uneasy. “Is there anything 1 need to pay special attention to?”
Shen Hanyu ruffled her hair. “No, just be yourself.”
“If they ask you something, you can answer if you want to. If you don’t want to, you can choose not to answer,” he added.
“Wouldn’t that be a little rude?”
…..
“It won’t,”
Shen Hanyu pulled her closer to him and said in a pampering voice, “Didn’t I tell you that I’m here?”
His words calmed Sang Qianqian down a little. However, when she followed Shen Hanyu into the living room and saw the house full of people, she still felt uneasy.
In the living room, 14 to 15 people were sitting around Old Lady Zhen.
Everyone was chatting and laughing at first, but when they heard the sound of footsteps, they turned around at the same time. More than ten pairs of eyes turned toward Sang Qianqian. Some were filled with joy and curiosity, while some were sizing her up and even… Inspecting her.”
To Sang Qianqian’s surprise, Fang Lan was there as well.
Fang Lan met Sang Qianqian’s gaze and smiled, “Miss Sang.”
“You’ve finally brought Hanyu back.”
Old Lady Zhen smiled at Sang Qianqian, her expression much more benevolent than before. “Qianqian, come over and sit with me.”
Sang Qianqian braced herself and was about to let go of Shen Hanyu’s hand and walk over.
However, Shen Hanyu held her hand tightly and walked with her to the old lady.
Fang Lan sat to the left of the old lady, but there was an empty seat in the middle. Fang Lanhad deliberately shifted to the side to save it for Sang Qianqian.
On the right of the old lady was her granddaughter, Zhen Xiong. When she saw them, she immediately stood up. “Cousin, please sit.”
Zhen Yiping, who was at the side, reminded her, “Why do you only call her Cousin and not Cousin-in-law?”
Zhen Xiong revealed a look of confusion as she looked at Fang Lan, then at Sang Qianqian, “Isn’t Cousin-in-law Sister Xiao Lan? How come…”
Zhen Xiong came back late from school. She only heard that there was an important guest at home and her cousin had gone to pick him up personally. No one told Zhen Xiong who the guest was, so she was very confused at this moment.
“Silly child, what nonsense are you spouting?”
Zhen Yiping hurriedly stopped her, “When did Xiao Lan become your cousin-in-law?”
Everyone turned to look at Fang Lan. The air was filled with an indescribable awkwardness.
Old Lady Zhen’s heart ached for Fang Lan, but she couldn’t say anything.
Fang Lan, on the other hand, laughed nonchalantly. “I’d love to marry your cousin, but he only likes Miss Sang. They’ve been married for a long time.”
“Husband and wife?”
“Then why didn’t 1 see Sister Sang when Cousin Hanyu was sick?” Zhen Xiong asked.
There was a hint of cruel innocence in her words, and she had inadvertently asked the most important question everyone was holding back.
Apart from Fang Lan, everyone present today was related to the Zhen family by blood.
However, only a few people knew how Shen Hanyu suddenly became Sang Qianqian’s husband, and how she was even acknowledged by Old Lady Zhen and Zhen Yiping.
They didn’t dare to ask for the sake of their reputation, but that didn’t mean they didn’t want to know.
At this moment, Zhen Xiong had inadvertently become everyone’s mouthpiece, and everyone held their breath and waited for the answer.
“Because… Because…”
Fang Lan hesitated, not knowing if she should tell the truth.
“Because not only did 1 hide my sickness from your cousin-in-law, but 1 also broke up with her,” Shen Hanyu replied.
Zhen Xiong’s Black eyes widened. “Why?”
“I had no choice,” Shen Hanyu said in a low voice.
Zhen Xiong was only 15 years old. She didn’t understand what he meant. “Cousin, I don’t understand.”
Shen Hanyu chuckled. “You’ll understand when you grow up.”
Zhen Xiong scratched her head in confusion.
Everyone present was shocked.
They naturally knew what Shen Hanyu meant. When he had a problem with his body, he hid it from Sang Qianqian and even broke up with her. However, when he recovered, the first thing he did was to go to Yuecheng to pick her up and bring her back to the Zhen family.
It seemed that Shen Hanyu truly loved Miss Sang.
“Hanyu has good taste. His wife is like a fairy.”
A woman in her forties, with a full moon face and an elegant and rich appearance, said with a smile, “No wonder you wanted to invite Yiping to Yuecheng overnight to apologize to her as soon as you recovered. If 1 were a man and married such a beauty, I wouldn’t be able to give up either.”
This woman was Old Lady Zhen’s eldest daughter, Zhen Yishu. She was also Zhen Yixin’s older sister. She knew that Zhen Yiping had gone to Yuecheng.
“Aunt, you’re wrong.”
“Yes, I can’t leave Qianqian,” Shen Hanyu said calmly. “However, it has nothing to do with how she looks.”
Zhen Yishu wasn’t sure about Shen Hanyu and Sang Qianqian’s past, so she only smiled and said, “I heard from my mother that Miss Sang went abroad to find a famous doctor for Hanyu. When she came back, she fearlessly tested the medicine on herself.”
“Hanyu, you should always be considerate of AAiss Sang. She’s really loyal to you,” she said with a tinge of emotion.
Shen Hanyu’s dark eyes fell on Sang Qianqian and he frowned slightly. “You tested the medicine on yourself?”
“Isn’t this just to make sure there are no bad side effects? This is the normal procedure.” Sang Qianqian gave a perfunctory reply.
Shen Hanyu looked at her deeply, but didn’t say anything.
“Yishu, you too. We’re a family now, so why are you still calling her Miss Sang?”
Old Lady Zhen said with a smile. She held Sang Qianqian’s hand and looked her up and down carefully. Her appearance was indeed indescribable, and her personality was also likable. She was just a little thin.
“Since you and Hanyu have already reconciled, why don’t you move here?”
The old lady said kindly, “Otherwise, if you live alone outside, there will be no one to take care of you.”
Sang Qianqian’s heart slapped a beat.
She didn’t want to move to the Zhen family. She felt that she would be more restrained, so she felt more comfortable living in the small courtyard.
Just as she was thinking about how to decline, Shen Hanyu smiled and said, “Who said there will be no one to take care of her? Am 1 not a human?”
The old lady was stunned. “You… You’re moving to Qianqian’s place?”
Shen Hanyu nodded. “1 will come back to see you often with Qianqian.”
Old Lady Zhen was disappointed, and Zhen Yiping quickly tried to smooth things over. “Young people like to have their own little home. You shouldn’t force them to come back and stay.”
Zhen Yishu also smiled and tried to persuade her, “That’s right, Zhongjin isn’t even married yet, but he already has his own place to live outside, let alone a young couple who haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a ruffian voice came from outside. “Mom, what young couple? What reunion after a long time?”
The man was Zhen Yishu’s son, Li Zhongjin, the young master of the Li family.
“We’re talking about your cousin brother and cousin-in-law.”
When Zhu Yishu saw her son, she was both surprised and happy. “Didn’t I tell you to come earlier? Why are you only here now?”
“It’s because of this cousin-in-law of mine that I’m late.”
Li Zhongjin’s unbridled gaze swept past Sang Qianqian. He sat down on the sofa and looked at Shen Hanyu slowly.. “Cousin, didn’t this woman get married to Xie Shi’an? When did she become my cousin-in-law?”
