Chapter 126: Chapter 126: The Groom Ran Away on His Wedding Night (Final)

"I’m the boss, what’s wrong with giving myself a day off?"

"Those employees shouldn’t go too far. When have you ever heard of employees making the boss work overtime, Sister Ah Chen, don’t you think so?" Xie Yan grumbled softly into Ah Chen’s ear, annoyed at the employees who treated him like a working machine.

It’s just ridiculous.

Ah Chen chuckled, holding his hand to stand up for him: "Exactly, those employees are too much. When you get back from your holiday, assign them a ton of work."

"Wouldn’t that make them happy?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows. Seeing him assign so much work, wouldn’t they be jumping with joy?

He couldn’t recall when exactly his employees started acting out of line.

Ah Chen was amused: "It’s not often we go out shopping. Today is especially for buying clothes for you."

Having special delivery just isn’t fun. If you have time, it’s always more interesting to personally select and try on clothes at the store. Besides, walking in crowded places could add a bit of atmosphere, making it livelier.

In the mall, Ah Chen ran into someone who looked familiar. After thinking for two seconds, she remembered who it was—Mei Li.

The other party should have returned already.

Mei Li noticed someone was observing her, looked up, and saw a familiar face. She was a little taken aback. It’s been over ten years; Lv Chen must be over thirty, yet she only looks a bit more mature, not old at all?

They always knew Lv Chen was beautiful, and now she was even more so.

Judging by her attire, Lv Chen seemed quite wealthy.

In fact, she didn’t really chat with her old mother that much. She just did what she should, thinking she had already fulfilled her duty. She found the other party’s nagging very annoying and hadn’t planned on coming back. She’d never even thought of bringing her old mother to enjoy life with her. In that circle, bringing a rural old mother would be a joke, wouldn’t it? Besides, the old mother might not even want to come.

So every time her old mother mentioned the significant changes in her hometown, she didn’t want to discuss it much and even hung up in a hurry with the excuse of being busy, so she never really knew what changes had occurred back home and was unaware of the Lv Family’s situation.

Mei Li was somewhat worldly, recognizing the expensive jewelry Lv Chen was wearing, even knowing some of the brands.

Seeing Lv Chen’s appearance, could it be she married someone rich?

Mei Li wasn’t surprised. After all, Lv Chen’s looks were even better than hers. It was normal for rich people to fancy her.

Ah, she used to think she’d have a good life too, even if it meant being with a married man. But in Hong Kong, it was all too common for bosses to maintain several mistresses. She had planned on having a son, but it never happened. Later, she found out that the man had some issues himself, even using medical means with his wife to have a child.

Worse, that old man died.

His usually mild-mannered wife turned aggressive, threw her out of the villa she was living in, and she couldn’t take anything except her personal belongings.

Fortunately, Mei Li wasn’t one to be trifled with; she had quietly transferred some money over the years, all kept in her mother’s account, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to return.

"Your favorite lemon water, without sugar." Xie Yan walked over with two cups of milk tea, handing one to Ah Chen. He really adored her and couldn’t help but peck her on the cheek.

Once Ah Chen took hers, he quickly held her hand with his free one, afraid someone might take her away.

He noticed what Ah Chen was looking at and saw a well-dressed woman with heavy makeup.

"Do you know her?"

Ah Chen shook her head: "I’ve seen her."

"Mei Li."

Xie Yan’s expression turned cold. Anyone who had hurt Sister Ah Chen, even indirectly, he couldn’t stand.

Mei Li watched as this puppy-like young man instantly transformed into a terrifying wolf, which was a bit daunting.

So young?

Mei Li was confused.

Not daring to greet Lv Chen, after being recognized, she hurriedly left, not even interested in shopping anymore.

"Don’t mind her," Ah Chen reassured Xie Yan.

The gloom and chill on Xie Yan dispersed, and since Sister Ah Chen said not to mind, they continued to stroll around.

Sitting on the bus to Shuifeng Village, Mei Li was filled with mixed emotions.

She gazed at the scenery outside, wondering what had happened in these past ten years?

"Mei Li is back," Ding Haiying shared the gossip with Ah Chen.

Ah Chen said, "I know, I ran into her at the mall."

Ding Haiying leaned closer: "This is fresh news from just five minutes ago, you surely don’t know."

"Oh?" Ah Chen was intrigued. Her mom really had her finger on the pulse, always the latest scoop.

"Shen Chi heard Mei Li was back and went to look for her immediately, initially very angry. But Mei Li certainly has some tricks up her sleeve and quickly calmed him down. Just as things were settling, Jiang Hongying rushed in and attacked Mei Li, clawing her face, even knocking out a tooth, not knowing if her face would scar."

"Widow Chen saw her daughter being hit and jumped in, pinning Jiang Hongying to the ground immediately. The scene was chaotic, and onlookers, seeing how violent it was becoming, helped report to the police. Now they’ve all been taken away."

After this incident, naturally, Mei Li wouldn’t entangle with the unaccomplished Shen Chi anymore.

However, Shen Chi was unwilling. How could Mei Li live well when his life was in shambles?

If Mei Li hadn’t abandoned him, they could have had a good life.

If Mei Li hadn’t lured him away, he could still be with Lv Chen.

His life was ruined by Mei Li, so she shouldn’t have it easy either.

He ignored everything, showing up in front of Mei Li every day, causing her to miss several suitable matches. Some were quite promising, but when they heard Mei Li left him for a boss, they dared not continue. Besides, Shen Chi’s appearance was frightening. Mei Li looked good and spoke well, but having a madman by her side was not appealing.

"Shen Chi got divorced," Ding Haiying said, "Now, in his current state, no one can stand it, and that girl from the other province went back to her hometown after the divorce."

Ah Chen said, "It’s better than wasting time here."

Mei Li didn’t change her mind and hoped to find another good one, but it wasn’t so smooth, and she even got beaten by someone’s wife.

That time, Shen Chi appeared and took her away.

Roundabout, they ended up together, but didn’t marry.

Later, Mei Li became pregnant. Considering her age and health condition, terminating it might mean no children in the future, so she decided to have it.

"Shen Chi seems to have settled down, found a job, and it looks like the two are planning a quiet life." Ding Haiying shared the latest news.

But neither of them got a marriage certificate, probably still unwilling to settle.

Later, Mei Li gave birth to a son. But less than two years later, she abandoned the child and disappeared without a trace.

One day, while Ah Chen was having dinner at the Lv Family’s, a child’s voice suddenly came from outside.

The Lv Family opened the door to find Shen Chi’s child.

As soon as he saw Ah Chen, he ran over joyfully, exclaiming, "Mom!"

The Lv Family was furious, wondering where this insolent child came from. How dare he call someone ’mom’? The Shen Family truly had no manners.

Xie Yan became very tense, holding Ah Chen tightly, suddenly remembering that Sister Ah Chen had always been with him and never had a child. Besides, this kid was Shen Chi and Mei Li’s, having absolutely nothing to do with Sister Ah Chen. What was wrong with the Shen Family, unable to properly educate even two kids at home?

As for Shen Tong, after graduating from university, she never returned and even took Wei Menglan to the provincial capital. Later, the Shen Family wanted Shen Xun and Wei Menglan to reconcile. Shen Xun even went to find her, but came back silent, not revealing what happened. Everyone knew there was no possibility of them getting back together. It’s said that Jiang Hongying had an eye on the house Wei Menglan bought in the county, claiming it was for Wei Menglan’s son. Wei Menglan decisively sold the house, thinking it was for her son, splitting the money: half for Shen Tong, half for her son, effectively severing ties. After that, the Shen Family could no longer contact the mother and daughter.

First calming Xie Yan, Ah Chen smiled at Shen Yue at the door: "Shen Family’s child, I am not your mom. Your mom is called Mei Li."

The Lv Family called Shen Chi over. He looked embarrassed and dragged Shen Yue back home, occasionally spanking him hard. Shen Yue cried out, screaming for his mom the whole way.

Why is it different?

Isn’t dad a big boss?

Isn’t Lv Chen his mom?

How did his biological mom become Aunt Mei Li, and why did she leave just two years after giving birth to him?

No, he wants to go back, he doesn’t want to be here.

This must be a nightmare.
