Chapter 328: Shen Lanzhi’s Distress
Shi Nuannuan did not want to lose her mother or Zuo Weiyi.
She understood that her brother probably did not resist or fight back because he was also caught in a dilemma.
Was it really true that it would be impossible for her brother to be elected as the president of Country C without Tengtang Xi?
Shen Lanzhi was filled with guilt as she looked at the young girl in front of her.
“Nuannuan, please forgive your mommy. I know that what I did was very cruel to Weiyi but… Mommy has already lost your daddy. I don’t know what I will do if I lose both of you. I will be left with nothing at all in the end…”
She was not afraid that she would be kicked out of the Shi family. She was only afraid that she would lose both her children.
She was very afraid that things would go back to the days, more than twenty years ago, where she could not even see her own children when she wanted to.
Shi Nuannuan’s heart was also very heavy when she saw her mother’s teary eyes.
Even though her mother was brought back to the Shi family after her father passed away, her grandfather had always been very cold toward her mother. Even though the servants treated her mother with respect, her grandfather still felt as though her mother did not deserve to be here at all.
She really did not understand what her grandfather was thinking of. Has he already forgotten how her father died five years ago?
Shi Nuannuan could not help but stretch out her hands to embrace her mother as she thought of all the pain and suffering that her mother had gone through when she was young. “Mommy, I also want our family to be reunited, and I also hope that we can always stay together. Don’t worry. As long as brother is around, the three of us will never be separated. You have to trust in my brother!”
Shi Nuannuan’s words caused Shen Lanzhi to fall into contemplation for a while.
She knew that her son was very strong and capable. However, no matter how capable he was, he could never compete with his grandfather, right?
After releasing her daughter, Shen Lanzhi smiled before she said, “As long as both of you are by my side, I do not care about anything or anyone else.”
“No, Mommy. You have to care about Weiyi too. She is my brother’s one true love. If you really love my brother, you have to accept Weiyi too!”
Shen Lanzhi frowned as she looked into Shi Nuannuan’s eyes.
“She… is she really that good?”
Shi Nuannuan nodded repeatedly. “Yes!”
“How can you say that with so much confidence?”
“Because I know that she loves my brother with all her heart and life.”
When her elder brother was seriously injured, Weiyi was the only one who stayed by his side day and night. However, her grandfather and mother did not know about that at all.
Shen Lanzhi was shocked after hearing Shi Nuannuan’s words.
If this pair of brother and sister could defend and vouch for her with their lives, then Zuo Weiyi must definitely be that good, right?
In fact, Shen Lanzhi also felt very sorry for that girl. However, she had no choice but to do what she did. Otherwise, Shi Le would kick her out of the family and prevent her from getting near her own children in the future. However, all the clothes and the gold card that she had given to Zuo Weiyi the last time were all her own doing because she really felt sorry for Zuo Weiyi.
“Mommy, if the Shi family did not have any status or money at all, do you think that Tengtang Xi would still want to marry my brother?” Shi Nuannuan asked as she looked at her mother.
Shen Lanzhi raised her eyes and looked at her daughter as she thought about what she had just said.
“This is always the case when it comes to powerful and wealthy families. There are no emotions or feelings when it comes to marriage, just like the marriage between your father and Shi Tiannan’s mother.”
“Then, do you really want my brother to end up just like Daddy who was forced to marry a woman that he did not love at all?”
Shi Nuannuan’s words shocked Shen Lanzhi deeply.
She suddenly thought of the deeply miserable and painful relationship that she had with Shi Xiaotian more than twenty years ago.
Did she really want her own son to go through that kind of pain?
As she thought about this, Shen Lanzhi felt as though her heart was as heavy as a rock!
Shen Lanzhi glanced at her daughter before she stood up and said, “Your brother will be getting married to Tengtang Xi in three days’ time. That will be the end of it.”
