Chapter 24: This Was Not Considered Immoral
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhuang Hong was seriously injured in the car accident and became a vegetable because of it. Everyone in Lin City knew that Zhuang Hong was only half-alive. He did not expect Cen Shuang to marry into the Zhuang family. When he thought of the wretched man, he was actually glad that Cen Shuang married Zhuang Hong. Because this way, he and Cen Shuang... would have a chance.
In the bedroom, Cen Shuang sat on the bed and looked at Zhuang Hong, who was only sleeping peacefully. “He’s here. Why is he here? Do you think he’s here to look for me? He seemed to have seen me just now. Should I go talk to him? But your cousin is there too. I didn’t tell him I married into the Zhuang family. He was so worried about me earlier, but I didn’t tell him about this. He’ll definitely be angry with me.”
Actually, she did reply to Yang Jinyan’s message, but her final message conveyed that she meant to sever ties with him. She just did not expect that he would actually find the Zhuang family and learn that she was married to Zhuang Hong. What would Yang Jinyan think? He probably already thought of her as a scheming woman. Cen Shuang paced around the room uneasily, completely forgetting that the person lying on the bed was her husband. Just as she was hesitating about heading downstairs, there was a knock on the door.
Cen Shuang subconsciously thought of the person outside the door. It must be Yang Jinyan. How could he come here to look for her? She opened the door nervously and saw Zhuang Tinghao’s face. She subconsciously wanted to close the door. Zhuang Tinghao extended his arm to block her, as he sized her up. Finally, his gaze landed on that small face. “Sister-in-law, this isn’t polite.”
Cen Shuang endured the disgust she felt. “What’s the matter?”
Zhuang Tinghao revealed a malicious smile. However, he had learned his lesson after the last incident, and he was now wary of Cen Shuang. “It’s nothing. I just want to talk to you, sister-in-law.”
“I have nothing to say to you.” Cen Shuang made her expression warm and smiled at him. “Have you recovered from that concussion?”
“I recovered a long time ago.” Zhuang Tinghao did not hear anything strange and had a coquettish smile on his face.
In the next second, Cen Shuang said fiercely, “Last time, I was merciful. This time, I will definitely make you suffer.”
“You refuse to call a truce, and insist on doing things the hard way.” He had heard the sarcasm in her words and felt that she was about to pounce on him.
Cen Shuang turned around and nimbly pressed on the pressure points in Zhuang Tinghao’s arm. Looking at the sour expression on the man’s face, she said, “Even though Zhuang Hong is just lying in bed, he is much more pleasing to the eye than you are.”
“Why are you doing this? Zhuang Hong is a vegetable. You have been wronged by him. If I head the Zhuang family, and you stay by my side, I will not mistreat you.” Zhuang Tinghao saw that he could not beat her, so he could only give in.
Cen Shuang swallowed her disgust and smiled mockingly. “Even if Zhuang Hong stays in bed forever, you still could not compare to a single finger of his.”
“Don’t be ignorant. The Zhuang family only has one grandson now. Even if the old master is old and muddle-headed, he wouldn’t give the Zhuang family to an outsider. Unless... can you still have a child with that piece of trash?”
Hearing such shameless words, Cen Shuang only felt disgusted. She used her hand to exert some force and heard a soft ‘crack’.?Zhuang Tinghao’s arm was already broken although he did not feel any pain. He looked at his own arm, that was hanging in the air, in horror. It looked like it was being held in place by a wooden stick. He could not feel anything at all.
“Zhuang Tinghao, don’t be afraid. I only broke one of your arms. Just ask someone to help you lift it. Even if you suffer a little when you lift it, it won’t be so painful that you’ll want to die. If you provoke me again after this, I won’t be twisting that part of your body again.” Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Tinghao’s neck as she spoke.
Zhuang Tinghao was so scared that he took a few steps back. His back was cold. When he saw Cen Shuang’s smile, he ran out and ran across the courtyard with a terrified expression. This woman was the devil!
The moment Cen Shuang closed the door, her eyes immediately turned red. She was afraid of how Zhuang Tinghao looked at her. She was also afraid of the disgust and fear he made her feel. She was afraid that she would encounter more gazes like his in the future. Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong who was lying in bed. She rebuked him, saying, “It’s all because of you that they dare to bully me like this. Why did you become a vegetable? Zhuang Hong, you scoundrel.”
Only by facing the person on the bed could she lower all her pretenses and reveal her weaknesses. Cen Shuang wiped the tears from her face and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. “Without the Cen family, those people will laugh at me. They will laugh even more because I married into the Zhuang family. Zhuang Hong, what should I do? Who can help me?” She hugged Zhuang Hong’s arm, and comforted herself. “But I broke his arm. He is at a disadvantage. Your cousin brought Yang Jinyan here. It seems like they are discussing a collaboration.”
After venting enough, she felt much better. However, when the name Yang Jinyan was mentioned, Cen Shuang could not help but touch her face. “Why is it so hot?” Was she still angry with that b*stard, Zhuang Tinghao? Cen Shuang looked at Zhuang Hong and said softly, “I met him just now.” Although their eyes only met, they didn’t say anything.
“I’ve already married you. This doesn’t count as letting you down, right?” Cen Shuang’s face still held the grievances that were weighing on her. The person in bed did not react. She leaned her head on Zhuang Hong’s chest. “He’s only here to see me. I’m not technically being unfaithful.”
