Forced Marriage: The Evil CEO Hubby - C180

Father Shen held the jade pendant to the light, and the words that were projected onto the table were precisely Qing. The hand holding the jade pendant trembled, and just as the jade pendant was about to fall off, he quickly caught it. His eyes turned slightly red as tears of sadness filled his eyes. He tightened his grip on the jade pendant.

“This is for Qing’er!”

Shen Jingbin’s mother looked at the word before tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes. Her emotions became even more intense as she let out a heartbreaking cry. Her face was filled with grief. She clenched her teeth as she held back her words that were about to burst out, burying her head in her husband’s embrace as tears continued to flow from her eyes.

In that instant, the atmosphere became a lot sadder. The members of the Shen family lowered their heads and mourned for the Young Master Qing of the Shen family. Only a few people who were familiar with their master and wife had tears welling up at the corners of their eyes.

Du Yanqing opened her mouth, wanting to console her, but she did not know what to say. The deep guilt in her heart made her suddenly feel sad. Lowering his eyes to look at the clean floor, he felt a sense of pity for the boy from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Juyan, who had always been looking at Du Yanqing, personally poured her a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table, allowing the cold air in the room to blow on it. His palm lightly touched the surface of the cup, feeling the temperature within. He felt the warmth of the tea, so he handed it to her. He moved his body towards her and comforted her in a low voice: “Drink some tea, it’s bitter but sweet.”

In an instant, Lu Juyan’s ears were filled with Lu Juyan’s words, which gave the bottom of her heart an unusual feeling of warmth. Lifting his eyes to look at Lu Juyan, he suddenly extended his hand and received the cup of warm tea.

She put the cup to her lips and took a sip. Warmth flowed through her mouth and a astringent feeling made her move the teacup away to cover her cold hands. Only after carefully savoring the taste in his mouth did he discover the sweetness within. It was like living a life. Only after comprehending did he understand the meaning behind it.

It was unknown whether it was because the tea was too warm to the heart or because Lu Juyan was able to make Du Yanqing feel at ease, but in that instant, she had actually forgotten to do something that could repel the other party from approaching her. Clutching the warm tea, he took another sip and savored the taste.

When the Shen family’s Yu Yun came out from their sorrow, father Shen’s gaze fell on Du Yanqing’s body, and felt that he looked familiar. He patted his mother and took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit. He carefully wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and whispered in her ear, “Don’t cry in front of so many juniors.”

His words caused his mother to be stunned for a moment. Her hazy eyes glanced at the onlookers, and her cheeks slightly blushed. The feeling of shame made her a little afraid to face everyone. He allowed the other party to do as he pleased, wiping the tears off his face. He took the jade pendant from his hand and put it back into the box. He then asked the girl beside him to bring the pendant to their bedroom.

Shen Jingbin’s mother returned to her noble appearance as she gracefully sat by her father’s side. If not for the slight redness at the corners of her eyes, it would be hard to tell that she had been crying.

“Miss Du, I feel that you look very familiar. Have we met before?”

The more his father looked at Du Yanqing, the more he felt that she looked familiar, but he didn’t know where he had seen her before. His gaze landed on Lu Juyan’s deep eyes, as if he had vaguely sensed the relationship between the two. After a few explanations, he finally asked openly.

“I might have met him when I signed the contract with another business partner. I’m the owner of the Yanqing Company.”

Du Yanqing, who was asked, was stunned for a moment, and then formally faced his father’s face. He did not feel any familiarity with him, and the bottom of his heart faintly felt a trace of strange thoughts. He put down the teacup in his hand and indifferently replied. Because she wasn’t sure, she didn’t dare to focus her gaze on him for too long.

When his father looked at Du Yanqing, Lu Juyan had already felt that something was amiss, and the sudden question made him feel even weirder. He took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Xi Ao, asking him to investigate the background of the Shen Family.

“Then what is your relationship with Sun Jiangyuan?”

His father didn’t cooperate with Yanqing Company in any way, but the existence of Sun Family Group rippled in his mind, causing him to recall a video that was previously spread online. When he asked this question in his mind, he became slightly agitated, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Lu Juyan, who had just finished his WeChat, heard his father’s words. The hand holding his phone trembled slightly. The lights on the screen lit up again, they were glad that Xi Ao did not give him any reply. He pressed the screen button and silently waited for the next part with a cold expression.

Gu Li, who had not spoken a word all this time, also had a stern face as he listened respectfully. He didn’t even have time to understand Du Yanqing’s past, he just wanted to know. Now that there was suddenly Lu Juyan, even though he might not have the chance, he couldn’t help but want to protect him.

“I’m his ex-wife.” But I hate him now!

Du Yanqing’s expression became a little heavy, and the teacup that she had just put down was once again in her hand. Regret filled her heart, causing her throat to become somewhat dry. She lowered her eyes and slowly told the others. She was not willing to express too many emotions to the Shen family, and did not want other people to discuss Sun Jiangyuan, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and give pressure to others.

This question involved some words that Du Yanqing didn’t want to answer, but it wasn’t to cover up. It was because she didn’t have the ability to clarify it yet, so she chose to ignore it.

“Miss Du, don’t misunderstand, our Shen family and Sun Family are destined to be enemies!”

Noticing the fluctuations in Du Yanqing’s emotions, his father, who was somewhat quick to ask, immediately opened his mouth to clarify the relationship between the two families. His aged face was covered in a layer of anger, and his hand, which was placed to the side, also secretly clenched into a fist.

The Du Yanqing who was slightly puzzled raised her head, facing the black eyes of her father which was conveying the message, causing her to faintly feel that the Sun Family had done something wicked. He opened his mouth and was about to ask something when his father revealed everything that had happened in the previous generation.

The year that Shen father’s great-grandfather was in the prime of his life, the cold wind had brought happiness to Xiao Su’s house. Before the Spring Festival, there were two big red lanterns hanging on the door. They were just there to celebrate that the two Shen brothers’ wives gave birth to boys.

He was originally having a happy night, but a group of bandits suddenly came into the banquet, holding a gun in one hand. The leader of the group stepped on the desk and roared angrily at the people inside the room with a gloomy face: “Hand over the traitor and I’ll spare your lives!”
