Chapter 405: Chapter 405
The people who came were none other than Shen Bin’s adoptive parents. It wasn’t their arrival that almost made Ye Zhenfen faint; it was mainly their attire that made her furious.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were so many people in the house right now, Ye Zhenfen would have surely started cursing on the spot. She forcibly held back and led them to the study, where she finally lost it, "Shen Jiang, let me ask you, what exactly are you trying to do? Today is my son’s wedding day, and you’re here to ruin it, aren’t you? Let me tell you, even if you raised my son, so what? Don’t forget that you kidnapped him back then, and now you dare come here. Do you really think the Li Family is easy to bully? If necessary, we’ll see you in court. If it weren’t for Shen Bin considering the fact that you raised him and stopping us from reporting to the authorities, while also sending living expenses every year, to have raised a bunch of ingrates like you who can’t see his goodness."
"Don’t think I don’t know. Back then, your daughter came here looking for my son, my son sent her on a train. If I hadn’t arranged for someone to send her to the company, where could she have gone as a village girl? I was being kind, thinking some things should be clarified in person, but you took advantage. Now that my son is getting married, you’ve come again."
"Alright, let’s get everything out in the open today, one thing after another, and see what we’ll do after that." Ye Zhenfen finished in one breath, gasping with fury, and Li Houguo watched, all anxious, and started soothing her chest, comforting her all the while.
"Look at you, talk properly, what’s there to rush about? You’re well aware of your own condition. If you collapse from anger, will our son’s wedding still go on today?" Li Houguo was a good talker, and with this persuasion, Ye Zhenfen finally tried to calm herself down.
But looking at the three people in front of her, she couldn’t help but get angry, pointing her finger, "Do you think I want to be angry? Look at them, dressed like beggars. Every year, my son sends half of his salary to them, and with that money, they can’t dress properly? They come here looking like beggars even on a day like today, with everyone at the company watching. Those who don’t know might think our son is very unfilial."
Embarrassment is secondary; the key point is the reputation attached to her son, how could Ye Zhenfen not be angry?
Naturally, Li Houguo was also displeased, raising his head to look at the three people, only to see Shen Chun bowing down and crying, while Shen Jiangshan and Gao Zhi, who were being scolded by his wife, seemed completely unfazed, showing neither anger nor resentment, which demonstrated just how thick-skinned and shameless they were.
Such people, Li Houguo knew perfectly well that his wife could be angered to death, yet the other party would remain unmoved. He asked directly, "Was your household hit by disaster?"
"Not really, it’s just that with Shen Bin getting married, we thought we’d come by since he’s still calling us mom and dad, how could we not attend his wedding?" Shen Jiangshan chuckled twice, "Binzi’s parents, Binzi did send us money, but we can’t keep all of it for ourselves; we gave half to Xique. Despite everything, Xique is his wife; there was a banquet held in the village, so they are a couple. Though there’s no certificate, the villagers recognized them. Binzi didn’t agree and ran off, leaving Xique behind to be laughed at. He may not be responsible, but we can’t neglect our duties, wouldn’t you say? Being humane means having a conscience, right?"
"Now Shen Bin is about to get married, so shouldn’t Xique be given an explanation? Upon hearing of Shen Bin getting married, the child threatened suicide, and we managed to persuade her out of it. If tragically someone dies, wouldn’t Shen Bin face a lifetime of manslaughter accusations?" Gao Zhi also spoke out kindly, taking a glance at Shen Bin without acknowledging his cold expression, "Binzi, Xique has returned, wishing to live well with you, she’s been taking care of me and your dad at home for half a year, who would’ve thought you’d suddenly decide to marry, do you think you’re being fair to Xique? She’s waiting for you at home."
"Shut up." If Ye Zhenfen’s gaze could eat people, she would have devoured this family of three long ago, squeezing through her clenched teeth, "You still have the nerve to come to our home talking about this matter, fine then, if you claim to be looking out for Binzi, let’s discuss it, what kind of wife did you find for Binzi? That’s your niece, Binzi’s first cousin, that’s close kin, marrying is illegal, don’t you understand? Fortunately, Binzi didn’t fully trust you, he ran away on his wedding day. As for your niece, do you really think we don’t know? After we recognized Binzi and brought him back to the village, we heard from the villagers, your niece couldn’t resist loneliness and ran off with someone, and now you’re claiming she’s back to live with Binzi and take care of you, I see it as her being unwanted, becoming a disgrace and no choice but to return to try and find Binzi again."

Ye Zhenfen took a breath and continued, "Not to mention other things, even if the law allowed close kin to marry, your niece has become ruined, she’s been taken advantage of, and she’s not worthy of my son. Now you dare come to our door to ask for an explanation, fine then, let’s expose this, let everyone decide who lacks shame."
Ye Zhenfen was truly infuriated, her education usually prevented her from speaking such crude words, but seeing members of the Shen Family caused her to break her usual restraint. Ye Zhenfen had also been sent down along with her husband, stayed in the countryside, but she had never seen such shameless people.
The Shen Family did all this shamelessly and now they still had the gall to come home asking for accountability. The more Ye Zhenfen thought about it, the angrier she got, getting up intending to give the Shen Family some serious slaps but was held back by her husband and son.
"Alright, alright, we’re on the right side, what are you angry about? This situation is right before us, I’m curious to see who she thinks will be responsible and who will explain things to her. Even if she goes to die, it has nothing to do with our son." Li Houguo laid down his decision.
On Shen Jiangshan’s side, he still laughed, "Xique felt humiliated being left on her wedding day by Binzi, so she went out to find him. It wasn’t running off with someone; it was all rumors from the village. The villagers saw Binzi doing well now and became envious of Xique."
"Exactly, you’ve never seen the child, we brought her along this time, she said she was afraid it might negatively affect Binzi, so she didn’t come with us, look at her consideration even though Binzi is marrying another now, she still thinks of Binzi." Gao Zhi echoed beside him.
Only Shen Chun kept her head down, occasionally wiping away tears, as she was too ashamed to face her brother and hated having such parents. (To be continued.
