Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

The black Bugatti slowly stopped in front of a branded clothing store, and a young woman stepped up and handed a paper bag into the compartment, “Mr. Gu, here are the clothes you want.”

As the woman handed the bag, she didn’t forget to sneak a glance over to Cheng Lydia in the passenger seat.

Seeing Cheng Lydia with disheveled hair, unkempt clothes plus a dull expression, the woman sighed in her heart: Mr. Gu had played with the little girl again …

“Thank you, I’ll treat you to a French dinner tomorrow.” Gu William took the woman’s small hand and placed it to his lips for a soft kiss.

The woman drew back her hand and gave Cheng Lydia a look with her eyes, “It’s late at night, Mr. Gu hurry up and send the person back.”

The car restarted and drove slowly along the riverwalk, which was deserted by the late hour, and once again the cell phone that Cheng Lydia had clutched in her hand rang, but as always, she ignored it.

Gu William craned his head to glance at the word ‘Chung Grace’ bouncing on the noisy screen.

Shortly after exiting the venue, Chung Grace’s calls wheeled around to the pair’s phones, which Gu William had decisively turned off.

“Why don’t you pick up?” Gu William asked her.

“Picked up and said what? That I’m with you now?” Cheng Lydia smiled bitterly and twisted her head to look at him, “Chung Grace is all I have left beside me and if even she abandons me, I will break.”

“You still have me.” Gu William smiled.

He? Cheng Lydia couldn’t help but smile bitterly, what was the difference between him and the passerby beside her?

She’s asking him not to ruin her rare friendship with Chung Grace, does he really understand or is he pretending not to understand?

The car pulled up on the riverfront and Gu William handed her the paper bag, “Change out of the clothes you’re wearing first.”

Cheng Lydia looked at the branded paper bag in his hand, unmoved by Gu William’s clothes, could she accept them? Should she accept it? But if she didn’t take it, was she going to keep wearing this ripped gown?

Gu William didn’t wait for her response, sliding the paper bag into her lap and pushing the door out of the car.

It was a casual suit with cotton inside, excellent quality material and the yardage matched, Cheng Lydia took the dress off her body and put on the casual suit and felt her whole body warmed up.

She changed her clothes and got out of the car as well.

Despite having put on cotton-laced clothes, the oncoming river breeze made her shiver.

Gu William craned his head to look at her at his side and asked, “Want something to eat?”

“Got something to drink?”

“Only canned beer.”

“It’s okay.”

Gu William folded back to the side of the car, removed two cans of beer from the trunk, and went around to the compartment to retrieve his suit jacket, draping the retrieved jacket over Cheng Lydia’s shoulders.

Cheng Lydia grabbed her beer and tilted her head to take a sip, spicy with a bitterness that cut across her throat and percolated into her heart and lungs.

The tears that had been held back in my eyes finally found a reason to break down …

Never in her life had she been so humiliated, never!

Just the thought of her scandalous naked body in front of a crowd of princes and nobles made her scalp tingle with shame, and what was even more humiliating was that Shen Ron had the cruelty to abandon her and let her continue to be surrounded by people there.

Gu William handed her a wad of tissues and said calmly, “It’s not worth crying over a man who doesn’t love you, so hurry up and wipe your tears away.”

“Leave me alone.” Cheng Lydia took a step to the side.

She seldom shed tears, and rarely cried so freely, for she knew very well that crying would not solve any problems, but would make her weaker and weaker, and she had always despised girls who cried and cried over the smallest things.

This was one of those days, but she cried several times in a row.

Is it true that life is getting harder and harder?

Ye Max looked at Shen Ron, who was a little distracted in front of him, and took a light sip from his glass, smiling, “Are you wondering where exactly Gu William is going to take your wife?”

Exiting the venue, Shen Ron dragged him claiming to continue drinking at the bar, only to arrive at the bar unable to find any semblance of a drink and with a heart that flew off to who knows where.

Shen Ron snorted noncommittally and picked up his glass and drained its contents in a single gulp.

“Gu William’s a man you’d better not trust too much, he’s probably in some bed with your wife.”

“What’s it to me?” Shen Ron gave him an impatient cross look.

“Why is Gu William so attached to Cheng Lydia? Don’t you even look for the reason?”

“What else could it be? Because she looks like June.”

“I don’t think so.” Ye Max sucked in a breath with a look of disbelief, “One Yang June has got you guys all bent out of shape, seriously, I don’t see what the appeal of Yang June is.”

“And if you had seen it, you and I would have turned against each other long ago, wouldn’t we?”

“It’s a real possibility.” Ye Max filled his cup and said with a straight face, “But it’s been so many years, it’s time for you to let go, life is so long, are you going to hold on to the memories of Yang June for the rest of your life?”

Shen Ron just hangs his eyes and drinks, not saying anything.

Ye Max continued, “I think Cheng Lydia is just fine, her nature is a bit strong, but she’s calm, loving, and not tranquil, and she won’t pester you like other women do. Besides, you’re already married to her, so why not try to fall in love with her and renew a new relationship?”

Yes, Cheng Lydia is not like any other woman, which Shen Ron still admits.

If other women were to marry him, they would not care if he was surrounded by Yang June, let alone fight with him day in and day out. They would have tried to please him, obey him, seduce him, and secure their place as the young lady of The Shen Family.

But that’s what has always irked him the most, the fact that while so many women in LS City have been eyeing him, Cheng Lydia, a woman who doesn’t know any better, doesn’t she understand that her good times will come faster only if she pleases him?

“Ask me to please her? Do you think that’s possible?” He sneered with a sullen grin.

“What Gu William can do, why can’t you do? If one day Cheng Lydia suddenly says to you that she wants to divorce you and that she has found a stronger backer, will you still be able to hold your head up in front of Gu William?”

Shen Ron disdains, “Marry Gu William? She’ll die faster.”

“Others also say you are cold-blooded and heartless, but when treating true love, aren’t you also soft as a cat?” Ye Max paused, “You did go too far tonight, Cheng Lydia must be heartbroken, and when a woman is heartbroken, if only a man is a little bit kind to her, she is moved to find herself envious to the other side.”

Shen Ron lifted his head slyly and looked at her askance, “Cheng Lydia isn’t that soft.”

The woman was so rigid and reserved that she was bound to fly over with an unceremonious kick if he accidentally crossed the line and touched her during the usual sleep, let alone do anything else.

“Didn’t you see her shaking all over in terror just now at the hotel? You saved your face, but what about her? I bet it’s hard to feel like being half naked and surrounded by people, isn’t it?” Ye Max gave him an unpleasant look, “Don’t say I don’t support you, Gu William is acting much more like a gentleman than you are on this point.”

“Thank you for the kind words.” Shen Ron gave him a flying look.

Ye Max lifted his wristwatch and glanced at it, “It’s this time of night and you’re not going to make a call to see where she is?”

The colder the evening, the colder the wind on the river.

Cheng Lydia had finished two cans of beer and her little face was cold from the river breeze, yet she still had no intention of beating a path home.

Already slightly drunk, she shook the empty beer can in her hand and turned her head to look blearily at Gu William, “Got any more? Give me another can.”

Gu William looked at her flushed face, “I’d better take you home.”

“I’m not going back, I’m going to drink.”

“You’ll get drunk if you drink any more.”

“Just get drunk, I’m not pregnant anyway.”

With that two-eyed look on her face, Gu William was too hard to resist and had to go back to the car to get the wine.

The phone that Cheng Lydia had placed in the car rang, Gu William glanced sideways at Cheng Lydia who was facing the river, and then glanced at the phone screen, when he saw the words ‘Shen Ron’ bouncing on it, the corners of his lips tilted slightly and a wickedly light smile blossomed out.

He picked up his phone and tapped the answer button, ‘Hello’ without panic.

Shen Ron on the other end of the line was obviously not expecting him to answer the phone, and after freezing for a moment, his tone instantly dropped to ice: “Where’s my wife? Where have you taken her?”

“Your wife?” Gu William swept a glance at Cheng Lydia standing by the parapet, “Your wife is with me now.”

“I asked you where she is?”

“Sorry, no comment.”

“Gu William …!” Came the voice through gritted teeth.

It was at this moment that Cheng Lydia slammed the empty can she had cupped in her hand hard into the river and let out a long, loud whine, “Shen Ron–! You son of a bitch!”

Her voice was hoarse and sad, reaching Shen Ron’s ears as the river breeze poured into the phone’s microphone.

Shen Ron’s brow sank while his heart tightened.

“You hear me, she doesn’t want to see you again.” Gu William gave a faint smile and hung up decisively.

Inside the bar, Ye Max looked at Shen Ron’s gloomy, handsome face and asked with a grin, “What? Are they really still together this late at night?”

“It’s together, but not in bed.” Shen Ron gave her an uncomfortable look.

“People won’t tell you where it is?”

“I can tell where it is without telling me.” Shen Ron got up and grabbed the coat on the back of his chair and walked quickly toward the door without looking back.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Although Gu William did not say so, he had just heard the sound of a ship’s siren on the phone, except for the possibility of hearing a ship’s siren on the riverfront, which was more than ten kilometers away from the beach. It was impossible for Gu William to take Cheng Lydia to the beach in the dark at this time of night.

“Have you had enough venting? Go home when you’ve had enough.” Gu William looked at Cheng Lydia who was no longer in tears, but her eyes were still red.

Cheng Lydia closed her eyes and took a deep breath into the river.

After the venting, she felt better, and it was time to get up and face reality, but the wine made her unsteady on her feet, so light that she seemed ready to be blown over by a gust of wind.

She tried to take a small step backwards and her body lurched, almost falling to the ground.

“See, I told you you couldn’t drink that much.” Gu William wrapped his arms around her body and lifted her up.

Cheng Lydia turned around, surveyed Gu William, who had been silently at her side, and giggled, “Sir, do you know me? Why are you being so nice to me?”

Gu William gazed at her small face, scarlet from drunkenness, his gaze gentle little by little, as soft as the pale yellow lone lamp on the river, quietly shining on her. It was only after a long time that he spat out softly, “I knew you before.”

“But I don’t know you.” Cheng Lydia hiccuped uncivilly.

“It’s not that you don’t know me, you just forgot about me, along with a lot of other people.” He lifted his palm to pull her jacket tighter around her thoughtfully and smiled, “But that’s okay, it’s okay to know from now on.”

“Yeah, so tell me what your name is.” Cheng Lydia laughed happily.

“My name is Gu William.”

“Gu William …” Cheng Lydia cocked her head in thought and shook her head, “I remember, Gu William is Chung Grace’s boyfriend, no, I can’t get too close to Chung Grace’s boyfriend …”

Cheng Lydia said, pushing his arm away from his hold on her waist and stumbling and stumbling to the side to avoid it.

Gu William reached out with a long arm and took her into his arms, one hand pressed against the back of her head to keep her from moving, and said softly, “I can be anyone’s boyfriend for as long as you want.”

“No, you can’t hold me like that, I’m Shen Ron’s wife, I’m married …” Cheng Lydia gradually came to her senses a bit, struggling while pounding his arms with her fists.

She can’t do that. Gu William is Chung Grace’s boyfriend. Chung Grace will be sad if she sees him.

“Shen Ron he stopped loving you a long time ago!” Gu William released her abruptly and glared at her with a low growl.

Cheng Lydia, stunned by his yell, stared at him blankly, then giggled, “I don’t love him either, but I still have to be faithful to him because I’m his wife …”

“But he loves other women.”

“Yang June? It’s okay, I don’t care … don’t care …” Cheng Lydia finished with a giggle and shook her head vigorously to survey her surroundings, “Where is this? Is there a bed? I’m so sleepy … I want to sleep …”

“There’s no bed here, I’ll take you to a place with one.” Gu William sighed lightly and pulled her wrist in the direction of the car.

The two walked to the car and Gu William thoughtfully helped Cheng Lydia pull open the passenger side door and was about to help her in when two intense beams of headlights suddenly came from the back of the car.

Cheng Lydia was too drunk and confused to care. Gu William turned his head and frowned handsomely when he saw Shen Ron’s Bentley and watched as the Bentley door was pushed open and Shen Ron’s body emerged from inside the cabin.

“Where is Master Gu taking my wife this time?” Shen Ron walked up slowly, his eyes sweeping over the casual clothes Cheng Lydia was wearing, over the hands the two were holding together, a quick flash of displeasure in his eyes.

Hearing Shen Ron’s voice, Cheng Lydia turned her head slyly, but twisted her face back after scanning him, as if she didn’t even know him.

“Naturally, I can’t tell you.” Gu William met his gaze with a faint smile.

“Now that I’ve caught you, you’re not going anywhere tonight.” Shen Ron walked over and reached over and pulled Cheng Lydia’s other wrist.

Cheng Lydia became prey to the two men for a moment, making her already unsteady on her feet sway even more from side to side, wobbling her all over the place.

“Don’t you already have Yang June, whom you love dearly? Didn’t you not want to care about her life? Why do you still come here?” Gu William gritted his teeth.
