Chapter 1247: Starting by Saving the Marriage!

Shen Minghan was afraid of upsetting Shen Mingcheng.

She hurried over, wanting to turn off the television.

Shen Mingcheng stood up and stopped her, saying, "Sister, don't turn off the TV. I want to finish watching it."

He Haiyang gave Shen Minghan a look.

Shen Minghan sighed helplessly, nervously watching Shen Mingcheng's every move.

During the two years Shen Mingcheng spent working the sewing machine, He Haiyang had been constantly blocking Tang Ye's progress.

However, it was as if Tang Ye were favored by the heavens; the more he was thwarted, the stronger he became, and his promotion speed was like riding a rocket.

The half-hour promotional video ended.

Shen Mingcheng finally spoke, "I underestimated Tang Ye. This guy is too good at putting on an act. Every time he met with me before, he would flatter me. He said I had a grand vision and an open mind. Now that I think about it carefully, he gave me the wrong guidance. From the very beginning, he was harboring a belly full of malice, deliberately building me up only to destroy me!"

Shen Minghan comforted him, "Mingcheng, stay calm!"

Shen Mingcheng revealed a cold smile, "Sister, I am very calm. Since coming out this time, I've thought things through. I will learn from my past mistakes, but I will absolutely not easily forgive those who caused me to lose everything. Du Chengfeng and Tang Ye are my enemies, and I will definitely make them taste the bitter fruit."

Seeing the rage erupting in her brother's eyes, Shen Minghan was at a loss for what to do.

He Haiyang sighed softly, "You need to understand Mingcheng. You don't understand what a massive blow this is to Mingcheng; they completely ruined Mingcheng's future. Just let him live with his anger; by turning this anger into motivation, he won't become a walking corpse."

Shen Mingcheng looked at He Haiyang with gratitude, "Brother-in-law, thank you for understanding me."

He Haiyang nodded at Shen Mingcheng, "Let's work together to change the current situation!"

The promotional video ended, and after Shen Mingcheng left the living room and finished washing up, there was a knock on his bedroom door.

Shen Minghan brought in a glass of milk, "Drink this glass of milk, it will be easier to fall asleep."

Shen Mingcheng drank the milk in one gulp, hesitated for a moment, and finally steeled his heart, "Sister, thank you for helping me keep that child."

Shen Minghan sighed, "Regardless of everything, this is the seed of the Shen Family."

Shen Mingcheng nodded slightly, seemingly having gone through a complex internal struggle, and probed, "Do you have any news about Chen Lan?"

Shen Minghan knew Shen Mingcheng very well and immediately got agitated, "Are you still obsessing over that bitch? If she hadn't betrayed you, would you have ended up in this state?"

Shen Mingcheng smiled awkwardly, "Sister, Chen Lan and I were husband and wife, after all; there was a foundation of affection. When she divorced me back then, it was also because I did something wrong."

Shen Minghan was almost choked with anger by Shen Mingcheng, "Mingcheng, I know you are sentimental, but you and Chen Lan must separate. I didn't like her the first time I saw her; this woman is too cold-blooded. She chose to be with you back then because she felt that Dad had power in his hands. This kind of woman who clings to the powerful is not worth your lingering attachment."

Shen Mingcheng nodded slightly, "I know, I won't do anything that will disappoint you."

Shen Minghan left the room.

Shen Mingcheng lay on the soft, warm bed, staring at the ceiling, finding it difficult to fall asleep for a while.

He never expected that his enemies, Du Chengfeng and Tang Ye, would climb so quickly!

Du Chengfeng was already the Deputy Secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Committee.

In Shen Mingcheng's view, Du Chengfeng climbed so fast because he had used him as a whetstone.

It would be a lie to say Shen Mingcheng had no regrets.

If he hadn't been so reckless back then, he would surely be a Deputy Department Level Official by now.

With his age and He Haiyang's help, his future bid for Deputy Ministry Level Official would have been a certainty.

From County Party Secretary to prisoner.

The massive psychological gap caused Shen Mingcheng to often wake up from his dreams in a start.

Because he still couldn't believe this was something that had actually happened.

Two years of dark, sunless imprisonment had given Shen Mingcheng a brand-new perspective on the world.

He had been expelled from the Party and lost his status as a civil servant, but he could take another path.

Although this path ran counter to his original intentions, he believed it was a shortcut to success that could quickly accumulate wealth and resources.

Only with sufficient resources could he take his revenge!

One wants to climb back up from wherever they fell.

Shen Mingcheng analyzed the reasons; his bad luck started from his divorce, so he wanted to start by saving his marriage.

……

The next morning.

Based on the results he had gathered, Shen Mingcheng arrived at a nursing home.

Pushing open the door, Shen Mingcheng found an old woman sitting on the hospital bed, with a caregiver administering an IV drip.

In Shen Mingcheng's memory, his mother-in-law Xiao Fang was an elegant elder, but at this moment she was aged, haggard, and frail, her skin like an apple that had lost its moisture, with wrinkles clearly visible.

Xiao Fang subconsciously looked toward the sound, and upon seeing Shen Mingcheng, she seemed to recall many memories and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Shen Mingcheng hurried over and took Xiao Fang's hand, "Mom, it's Mingcheng, I've come to see you."

Xiao Fang's gaze shifted from unfocused to sharp, and she said excitedly, "You are Mingcheng, you are my son-in-law Mingcheng, you've finally come back to see me."

Shen Mingcheng's heart was filled with deep regret.

Xiao Fang's illness was inseparable from him.

Xiao Fang's consciousness was clearly not clear, but in her subconscious, she still recognized him as her son-in-law.

At this moment, a sound of light footsteps came from behind.

Chen Lan walked in with her bag.

The moment she saw Shen Mingcheng, her eyes were full of surprise and shock.

Because she never expected that Shen Mingcheng would appear in the hospital room.

"Long time no see!"

Chen Lan took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions, "Come out with me to talk!"

The two arrived at the stairwell.

Shen Mingcheng suddenly took a large step toward Chen Lan and grabbed her wrist, "Lanlan, please forgive me!"

Chen Lan looked at Shen Mingcheng in surprise and immediately pulled her hand away from his palm, "Shen Mingcheng, I am reminding you. We are already divorced. I am grateful that you came to visit my mother. But, do not think that there is still a possibility between us."

Shen Mingcheng was silent for a few seconds, a cold look appearing in his eyes, "Chen Lan, I know you too well; you certainly will not accept the current me. However, give me three years—no, two years—and I will definitely appear before you with a brand-new image."

Chen Lan felt a sense of unfamiliarity from Shen Mingcheng, and she said very seriously, "We were husband and wife after all, so I am happy for you that you were able to get out so quickly. However, I emphasize again, there is no longer any possibility between us. I hope you live better and better, but I also earnestly request that you never come to disturb me again."

Having said this, Chen Lan decisively fled.

Shen Mingcheng watched Chen Lan's back.

A look of dejection and regret flashed in his eyes.

He truly did not know what he had been thinking back then.

Chen Lan was so beautiful and elegant, yet he had actually been bewitched into cheating on her!

"Chen Lan, your rejection will not defeat me.

On the contrary, your coldness makes me become more and more determined!

The things that belong to me, I will take back in another way!"
