Chapter 169 The Grudges of the Elders (Part 2)
Xie Junfei's words thoroughly stung Shen Huaishan. He was about to retort when Xie Junfei coldly retorted:
Do you even know what love is?
"Thanks to you, a year ago, my mother and I were in the same situation."
“At that time, I had just been kicked out of the Qin family’s home, and the Xie family simply couldn’t afford my tuition at Tiancheng Private School, so I had to beg Huo Shen for a scholarship.”
“Huo Shen didn’t take advantage of me like you did. He not only gave me a scholarship, but also bought me a dress when I didn’t have money to buy one for the dance. He stood up for me in front of the girls who bullied me and didn’t let anyone laugh at me.”
"Although he loves me, he won't break my wings like you did. Instead, he encourages me to pursue my dreams, build my own career, and realize my aspirations."
"He loves me, so he respects my choices. To truly love someone is not to humiliate her or make her a caged canary, but to protect her and be her strongest support when she takes flight."
"And you, you're always the one who holds Yu Wei back, you never respect her, and you not only disrespect her but also use psychological manipulation on her. You deserve to be hated by her for the rest of your life."
At this point, Xie Junfei suddenly laughed:
"You're willing to do anything for Yu Wei? Fine, then go die."
"I am now the last bloodline Yu Wei left in this world. Since you love her so much, shouldn't you extend that love to her daughter as well?"
"Yu Wei's life has been ruined by you. If she really loved you, she would have married you long ago after Shen Changfeng died."
"She hated you so much that she wanted to die rather than be free, and she committed suicide because she didn't want to be bothered by you anymore."
"So listen to me, if you die, Yu Wei might forgive you in the afterlife. But if you live, Yu Wei will definitely die with her eyes wide open in disbelief."
Shen Huaishan was stunned.
Xie Junfei didn't expect him to listen; he was just happy to spout off a string of words.
Who told her to be annoyed by this self-indulgent loading of goods?
She walked past Shen Huaishan, and just as she passed him, she heard him murmur:
"Is it really only when I die that you will forgive me?"
Xie Junfei scoffed:
"Nonsense, if you're going to die, just die already. You've done so many things to wrong her. If I were you, I would have fucking died long ago. How dare you live for another ten years?"
After saying that, Xie Junfei disgustedly pulled out a tissue to wipe the hand that had just slapped him before leaving the restroom.
Huo Shen stood outside the door waiting for her.
Xie Junfei pulled Huo Shen along, and Huo Shen obediently followed her.
The luxury car was parked downstairs, and the driver opened the car door for the two of them.
The soundproofing panels of the Maybach slowly rose, and the man sitting next to her asked:
"How do you know so much?"
"It seems the Huo family's private investigators haven't uncovered these details."
Xie Junfei scoffed:
"With the bunch of good-for-nothings you've raised, it would be a miracle if you could find anything out."
“I specifically used my second brother’s connections with my uncle from the Zhu family to find the nanny who had watched my mother grow up in a small village in Suzhou and asked her about it.”
The story of the previous generation of the Shen family is like a melodramatic, domineering CEO romance novel where the female protagonist is abused.
Xie Junfei's mother is the unfortunate female lead who is abused.
Yu Wei was born into a wealthy merchant family in Haicheng. The merchant clearly violated the monogamous system of the marriage law by taking five concubines.
Yu Wei was the daughter of the fourth concubine.
The fourth concubine was not favored, so even though she was born into a wealthy family, she lived in poverty.
When she was seventeen, the wealthy merchant died. The first wife had long disliked the fourth concubine, who was a famous actress, so she plundered their money and jewelry and kicked them out of the house.
Suddenly without any source of income, the fourth wife pawned her clothes and two insignificant pieces of jewelry, but still couldn't raise enough money for the international school's exorbitant tuition fees.
Yu Wei has one year left before graduation. She can neither transfer to another school nor drop out, so she can only apply for a scholarship.
However, the board of directors at that time was controlled by the Shen family. Shen Huaishan had long taken a liking to the beautiful Yu Wei, but he disliked her because of her shameful background, just like his own. So, under the instigation of his cronies, he gave Yu Wei a hotel room key and let her make her own decision.
Yu Wei is doing very well in her studies. As long as she can take the college entrance examination on time, she will definitely have a bright future.
Just then, her mother, who worked odd jobs to earn tuition fees, was diagnosed with mid-stage lung cancer.
The clothes and jewelry I pawned when I left the Yu family weren't even enough to cover the cost of a few rounds of chemotherapy.
For the sake of her mother and her own future, Yu Wei had no choice but to grit her teeth and find Shen Huaishan by following the address on the room card.
She said she was willing to give herself to him, but only on the condition that she not only wanted the scholarship, but also the money to treat her mother's illness.
Shen Huaishan said, "Okay, but the money for medical treatment is fine, but we'll discuss the other terms."
Then he took out a camera and said he was going to record the night.
Yu Wei closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Okay."
Zhang Ma, who had served Yu Wei since she was a child, said that Yu Wei originally liked the young master of the Shen family very much. Shen Huaishan was handsome and gentle, and he was also the student council president. No girl disliked him.
But after that night, she didn't like it anymore.
From then on, Shen Huaishan seemed to be addicted, summoning her at will and dismissing her at will.
After graduation, Yu Wei asked him what their relationship was.
Shen Huaishan said that in their circle, their relationship is called "following".
Later, Yu Wei's mother died.
Yu Wei has excellent grades and can attend the best design school in China.
But Shen Huaishan said the design academy was in Beijing and wouldn't allow her to go.
So she gave up her dream and chose a school in Haicheng.
During her university years, she did many part-time jobs and earned a lot of money.
At the same time, she excelled in her studies, and a professor admired her so much that he recommended her to study at a design school abroad.
For government-sponsored students studying abroad, the school waives tuition and fees.
The money she earned from part-time jobs at university was just enough for her to live abroad.
Things are moving in a positive direction.
But a week before she was to leave the country, Shen Huaishan discovered her acceptance letter.
He was furious and imprisoned her by his side, causing her to miss this opportunity to study.
Yu Wei argued with him, saying she didn't want to "follow" him anymore, that she didn't need his money, and that she would return all the money he had given her over the years.
Shen Huaishan was furious, but he was at a loss for what to do.
Finally, he produced a video recording from five years ago taken in the hotel.
He said, "If you dare to go abroad, I'll send the video of you begging for favors to your mentor's email so she can see that her prized student is actually nothing more than a lowly slut who submits to others."
He said, "Keep following me, and I can help you achieve all your wishes."
