Chapter 427: Uncovering the Secret

Wang Yingzhi had nothing new to say; she went over the same things again and again, muttering about nothing but these same old topics.

She simply stopped mentioning Wang Yinghao, not even a single word.

Sheng Hanyu listened calmly for a long time; apart from lies, there were only more lies—not a single word was true!

Sheng Hanyu knew exactly what kind of person Sheng Jiang was.

It wasn't as if things would be whatever she rambled on about.

"Since he is so bad, you can just divorce him," Sheng Hanyu finally spoke, his tone indifferent.

"What? What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

Wang Yingzhi shrieked exaggeratedly: "Son, you have to stand on my side and tell your father not to divorce me. If your grandfather were still alive, he certainly wouldn't agree to this..."

Wang Yingzhi brought up her deceased father-in-law to make her case: "When your grandfather was alive, he always said that harmony in the family brings prosperity to everything, and that a family must be complete and reunited for the Clan to flourish. So, I will not divorce your father, unless I am dead."

She finally expressed her purpose clearly—she would not divorce, she only wanted her son to back her up and help her pressure her husband to abandon his intention to divorce.

"Fine, let's go."

Sheng Hanyu drove, heading straight back.

He had originally not wanted to pursue past matters, but since Wang Yingzhi "insisted," then going back to ask would be fine too.

Wang Yingzhi was very happy, thinking her son had finally seen the light, and she chattered incessantly all the way, accusing Sheng Jiang.

The Sheng Family.

Sheng Hanyu was a bit surprised when he saw Sheng Jiang.

It had only been a few days, yet he had actually lost a whole circle of weight, and his complexion was also very poor.

Not only that, there were several scratch marks on his face; some had already scabbed over, while others still had fresh bloodstains!

Was this what Wang Yingzhi called—hitting her, abusing her?

It was clear at a glance who was abusing whom.

After arriving home, Wang Yingzhi seemed to have found her backbone.

She immediately went before Sheng Jiang and threw her weight around: "Hmph! I've called our son back. Hanyu is going to stand up for me; you are not allowed to divorce me."

Sheng Jiang was stunned, raising his head to look at his son in confusion.

"I never said that," Sheng Hanyu debunked her with a single sentence.

Wang Yingzhi panicked, hurriedly turning back and lowering her voice to say to her son: "Hanyu, you can't be like this. Have you forgotten what I said to you on the way? Think about what your grandfather said."

Although this woman was incapable of accomplishing anything and only good at ruining things, she was particularly skilled at scheming.

She knew how to use others to achieve her own ends, and that was exactly what she was doing now.

However... it didn't work.

Sheng Hanyu ignored her completely, walking straight to his father and saying coldly: "I agree to your divorce, but you must give me a reason."

"Hanyu, Hanyu, you can't agree to this. You can't let your grandfather be unable to close his eyes in the afterlife!" Wang Yingzhi lunged over, but before she could even touch the corner of her son's clothes, she was stopped by a sharp, icy glare from him.

"Shut up. If you say one more word, I will throw you out. Do you believe me?"

Wang Yingzhi shut her mouth; she believed him.

But she was still afraid that Sheng Jiang would reveal the real reason, so she stood behind her son and winked at him, signaling Sheng Jiang to keep his promise!

Sheng Jiang saw it, and the words that had already reached his lips were swallowed back down.

He muttered: "I don't want to live with your mother anymore; she is always nagging, it's too annoying."

Sheng Hanyu could see that he was not telling the truth.

"She hasn't just started nagging today or yesterday. Why weren't you annoyed before? You only just realized it's annoying now?" Sheng Hanyu steered the topic little by little toward the side.

Sheng Jiang remained silent; he could not answer.

Wang Yingzhi stepped forward, hugging Sheng Jiang, and said in a sugary voice: "Husband, I know I was wrong. I won't nag anymore in the future, so you won't feel annoyed, okay?"

"Don't divorce me. I love you, I simply can't live without you. If you leave me, I'll jump off the building."

Their home was a townhouse Villa, only three stories high at most.

This kind of intimidation tactic from Wang Yingzhi could not scare her son, but it worked on Sheng Jiang.

He remained silent and unresponsive, standing there like a block of wood, motionless.

Seeing this, Wang Yingzhi simply stretched out her lips, coated in bright red lipstick, and kissed Sheng Jiang's old face hard, leaving a bright red mark.

Then she turned around, beaming with joy: "Hanyu, your father and I have made up. You can go back now, rest assured, we won't be divorcing."

Sheng Jiang's complexion turned even paler; he wiped the mark off his face with disgust and began to struggle.

While struggling, he retorted: "I must divorce you, I definitely must divorce you. Wang Yingzhi, I see right through you. You always say one thing and do another, you are forever two-faced, and you are always lying..."

Sheng Jiang had already been fasting for three days.

Even if he struggled with all his might, he didn't have much strength and simply couldn't break free.

Sheng Hanyu did not leave; he pulled over a chair and sat in front of the two of them, watching coldly from the sidelines.

Sheng Jiang struggled desperately, while Wang Yingzhi held onto him, refusing to let go no matter what.

She poured sweet nothings into Sheng Jiang's ears, so nauseating that it gave both father and son goosebumps.

Sheng Jiang even dry-heaved in disgust.

"Ugh, ugh!"

But it was only dry-heaving, because he hadn't eaten for three days; there was no food in his stomach, so he really couldn't vomit anything out.

"Let go," Sheng Hanyu said coldly.

He really couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Wang Yingzhi did not let go, as if Sheng Jiang would fly away the moment she loosened her grip.

"I won't let go, I won't divorce, not even if I die..."

Just said he wouldn't nag, yet he's switched back to repeat-mode again.

"If you don't agree, I'll die!" Sheng Jiang's eyes held a look of determination.

He stared intently into his son's eyes and said to him, "Hanyu, there is something I must tell you; it is about your..."

Wang Yingzhi's head "boomed" and swelled instantly.

She hadn't expected that she had originally brought her son over to pressure the old man, only for the old man to want to spill that secret?

Absolutely not.

She absolutely would not allow Sheng Jiang to say it.

But the words were already on the tip of his tongue; how could she stop him?

Wang Yingzhi "thought of a desperate plan" and suddenly kissed Sheng Jiang, using her lips to block his mouth!

"Bang!"

Sheng Jiang used all his strength to push Wang Yingzhi away.

She fell to the floor and couldn't get back up for a long time.

"Devil, you are a devil!"

Sheng Jiang roared at her; it was the first time Sheng Hanyu had ever seen his father lose his temper like this since he was a child.

His father's eyes were wide open, his whole body was trembling with rage, and the look he cast at Wang Yingzhi was filled with nothing but hatred.

Even when he first learned that Sheng Yukai had caused his grandfather's death, he hadn't looked at him with such hatred!

Taking advantage of the fact that Wang Yingzhi was still dazed from her fall and hadn't reacted yet, Sheng Jiang hurriedly said to his son, "Hanyu, she is not your biological mother; your aunt is your biological mother!"

"What is going on? Tell me slowly." Sheng Hanyu clapped his hands twice toward the outside, and bodyguards came in to drag Wang Yingzhi away.

"Let go of me, where are you taking me?" Wang Yingzhi finally reacted.

She couldn't care about her aching body and began to struggle; she didn't want to leave, for if she left his sight, Sheng Jiang would definitely spill the secret—it was all over.

Wang Yingzhi regretted it to death.

But regret was useless; she was still dragged out, and dragged out after her mouth had been gagged, at that.

"Alright, you can speak now; no one will disturb you now, tell me in detail." Sheng Hanyu appeared calm and collected, which made Sheng Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.

He revealed the secret that had been buried for many years.
