Chapter 342 - 342 Recognizing Kin!
342 Recognizing Kin!
Matriarch Bai was dumbfounded.
She stared at the person on the video call and finally understood what was going on…
She then lifted her head in disbelief.
Inside the room.
Shen Wanying was still shouting, “Grandmother, please save me on behalf of second uncle! I’m too cold, this place is too cold…”
But despite shouting, there was no sound from outside the door.
At this moment, her phone vibrated and she lowered her head for a look. She then saw CY sending her a voice message. [Sorry, the network is bad, so the special effects have fallen off.]
Shen Wanying. “…”
She was infuriated and roared at her phone, “What the hell are you doing exactly?”
However, CY was as calm as ever. [I’ve said I’m sorry. Forget it, if you are not happy, I’ll return the deposit to you.]
…Was the failure of special effects something that could be mitigated by returning some money?!
Shen Wanying directly tossed her phone down and used even more force as she knocked on the iron door. “Grandmother, listen to my explanation. Things aren’t what appeared on the surface. I…I’m only doing this for your own good. I found someone to imitate second uncle because I saw that your mental state wasn’t very good!”
Matriarch Bai’s hands were trembling as her phone fell to the ground.
She stared at the iron gate in absolute disbelief.
So during these two years, the person talking to her on the phone wasn’t her second son?!
Everything was a scheme set up by Shen Wanying to swindle her!
Matriarch Bai was in so much shock that her legs turned soft. If it wasn’t for her butler supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground at this instant!
She wasn’t a fool!
If it wasn’t for the fake DNA report, she might still continue to lie to herself for the sake of peace in the Bai Family, ignoring Shen Wanying’s plot and treating it as if Shen Wanying was really doing this for her sake.
However, Shen Wanying had swapped Chu Xiaoqi’s DNA report, and this meant that she had long since known the truth. Shen Wanying knew that Bai Shanshan was the Matriarch’s biological granddaughter!
And in that situation, she even schemed to get Bai Shanshan frozen to death in this room!
Shen Wanying wanted Bai Shanshan to die, so everything would be concealed!
When Matriarch Bai thought about this, she abruptly turned her head to look at Bai Shanshan who was covered in Chu Cimo’s shirt and supported by Shen Qianhui and the assistant…
This small-time celebrity that she looked down on, someone who she disdained verbally for having a low status, was actually her biological granddaughter!
But what had she done?!
She had helped Shen Wanying to deal with Bai Shanshan and seize Sparton’s slot away…
In fact, just earlier, even when she clearly knew that Shen Wanying had attempted to kill Bai Shanshan, she still stood protectively before Shen Wanying…
How could she do this to her second son’s daughter!!
Matriarch Bai’s eyes turned red and her lips trembled. She walked toward Bai Shanshan stiffly and stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Bai Shanshan’s face. She spoke, “Good child, I…your grandmother was wrong…I was wrong!”
Matriarch Bai burst out crying in agony!
As she was an old woman, she looked extremely miserable when she cried.
Her expression of agony and regret also caused Bai Shanshan’s eyes to turn red.
Bai Shanshan fell silent for a moment before she supported Matriarch Bai up. “Old madam, I don’t blame you. My father had told me since I was young that his mother was a person who loved him deeply.”
Although Bai Shanshan said that she didn’t hate her, she actually addressed Matriarch Bai as ‘Old Madam’ and not ‘grandmother’…
Matriarch Bai knew that she had done too many over-the-top things, and Bai Shanshan would never acknowledge her.
She grabbed Bai Shanshan’s hands. “Your father, your father…”
“He passed away when I was fifteen.”
Matriarch Bai clutched her face and started bawling.
Her second son was truly gone.
He was dead.
The only bloodline he left behind in this world was Bai Shanshan…
Matriarch Bai then recalled the day when her second son was young. When she hugged him, she grumbled that her eldest son wasn’t filial. So, her second son immediately said to her, “Mommy, when I grow up, I’ll definitely be filial to you! In the future, my children will also be filial to you!”
Matriarch Bai smiled at him. “Sure! Sure! Mommy will also dote on your children!”
But right now, her actions almost caused the death of his daughter!
She truly regretted this. She was in extreme regret!
Her cries were desolate and sorrowful, causing Bai Shanshan’s eyes to also turn red.
No matter how much she loathed this woman, when she saw how her grandmother cried so much for her father, and also the fact that this old woman was her kin, Bai Shanshan’s heart ultimately softened. She was somewhat helpless. “D…don’t cry anymore…”
A single sentence from her triumphed over any consolation that anyone on the scene could offer.
As expected, Matriarch Bai slowly stopped crying. Right now, Bai Shanshan was like a porcelain doll in her eyes. She was deeply afraid that she might break her.
She was also afraid that her behavior would cause her granddaughter to feel sad, and she dreaded scaring her granddaughter even more…
Matriarch Bai wiped the tears that were falling unceasingly from her eyes. “Hmm, I won’t cry anymore, I won’t cry…”
Chu Cimo who was standing at the storage room’s entrance suddenly asked coldly, “So, do you still want to save her now?”
Save Shen Wanying?
When Matriarch Bai thought of how Shen Wanying had treated Bai Shanshan today, she wanted nothing more than to tear Shen Wanying into pieces!
Before she spoke, Shen Wanying who was locked in continued to forcefully knock on the door. “Grandmother, I was wrong! I was wrong! Save me please!”
“Grandmother, I’m Little Tong’s mother! You cannot watch me die!”
The room was simply too cold…so cold to the extent that Shen Wanying had lost the sense of touch in her legs.
As a doctor, she was very clear that she would suffer hypothermia in just half an hour.
Bai Shanshan could persist for two hours here because she had kept running around to keep her body temperature up. However, Shen Wanying’s ankle was broken by Chu Cimo, so she couldn’t move!
She might really die in just half an hour!
However, Matriarch Bai’s attitude had completely changed compared to before. “Since you know that you are in the wrong, you should just accept the punishment. Shanshan suffered from the cold for two hours. We can forget about this matter as long as you endure for two hours as well!”
Two hours? This was equal to wanting her life!
Shen Wanying continued knocking the door in anger. “Grandmother, I will die, I will really die!”
Matriarch Bai continued, “When you locked Shanshan in, didn’t you know that she could die as well?!”
“But she didn’t! Even in terms of the law, murder and attempted murder don’t have the same penalty. Open the door, you guys better open the door now! You are all a bunch of lunatics!”
However, no one outside bothered with her.
Shen Wanying was terrified.
She cried and begged, “Grandmother, you cannot treat me like this. I’m someone from the Shen Family. I’m also the granddaughter that my grandfather dotes on the most! If you truly freeze me to death, how will the Bai Family give an explanation to the Shen Family?!”
Matriarch Bai coldly laughed. “Shanshan is also the granddaughter I dote on the most. In addition, you are still alive. Maybe we might have no way to provide an explanation, but after you die…would the Shen Family fall out with the Bai Family for the sake of a dead person?”
Naturally not!
Family benefits would always be put first compared to individual benefits!
However, she didn’t want to die!
She also couldn’t die!
When Shen Wanying thought of this, she took out her phone and called her father and mother. “Dad, mom, quickly come and save me! Come and save me…get grandfather to come. Not my biological grandfather but Shen Yuansong! Get Shen Yuansong to come save me!”
After saying that, she knocked on the door again. “Shen Yuansong is coming immediately. Damn old woman, are you sure you don’t want to open the door?!”
She knew that she had something wrong. Now, only if the Shen Family Leader personally appeared would she be able to retain her life.
Outside the door.
Shen Ruojing heard her words and glanced at Matriarch Bai in worry.
As expected, Matriarch Bai’s expression froze when she heard the name ‘Shen Yuansong’.
The Shen family was more influential compared to the Bai Family. They had more authority too!
Shen Wanying was lowering her own status when she married into the Bai family. This was why she acted so arrogantly when she was in the Bai Family.
However, Shen Yuansong?
Which ‘Yuan’?
Which ‘Song’?
Did the name has a 艹 radical in it?
Shen Ruojing suddenly thought about the biological father of her mother, Shen Qianhui. At this moment, the photograph of her grandfather flashed in her mind.
Why did she feel a faint sense of anticipation to meet with this old man?
