Chapter 406: Chapter 406

Ye Zhenhua listened to Gao Zhi’s words and just gave a cold laugh, "Earlier you said she was at home, acting as if she was going to die, and you persuaded her to stay back. You came here to get an explanation, yet now you say she came along with you, and for Binzi’s sake, didn’t come in. I think she’s just afraid of being torn apart by me, that’s why she’s hiding."

"Look at what you’re saying, Xique is not that kind of person. She is worried that her background would be a bad influence on Binzi. She knows Binzi is getting married now, and she can’t trouble the other bride’s side, so she thought of a solution. The child won’t easily find a match in the village, so she wants to settle in the city. Your family is wealthy, arranging a job should be easy, we’ve taken care of Binzi once, just arrange a job for these two kids, let’s just call the past bygones." Shen Jiangshan stated his intentions outright.

Ye Zhenfen laughed and spat, "You really dare to think, and dare to say you raised Binzi. How was Binzi stolen by you? You’re just criminals, no wonder you dare to swagger before others after stealing someone else’s child. Just look at how thick-skinned you are. Still thinking we should arrange jobs for you criminals? Dream on. Get out, get out now, and don’t step into our house again, or I’ll call the police."

Ye Zhenfen waved her hand, pointed at the door, and yelled for them to leave.

Li Houguo softly comforted his wife while shaking his head at his son. Shen Bin nodded, then turned to his adoptive parents, "Isn’t it just jobs you’re after? Fine, I’ll give you that, but I want to meet Gao Xique."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiangshan was overjoyed, "I knew you were a filial child. Let’s go, Xique is just outside the courtyard."

"No, I don’t agree." Ye Zhenfen screamed upon hearing this.

Shen Bin softly said, "Mom, please trust me this once."

Hearing her son call her ’Mom,’ Ye Zhenfen couldn’t hold back her tears and finally collapsed into her husband’s arms, "This is retribution, why does this fall upon me, causing my son to suffer these hardships."

Li Houguo’s face was also grim, lips tightly pressed, he gently rubbed his wife’s back. Shen Bin took this chance to lead the three from the Shen Family out. Because the Li Family was having a wedding, influential people were all there, seeing Shen Bin leading three people dressed in rags out, those who knew the situation understood they were Shen Bin’s adoptive parents, but looking at their attire, couldn’t help but frown.

Not to mention anything else, the matter couldn’t be hidden; Shen Bin remitted money home every month, yet this family still dressed , making people suspect their intentions.

After leaving the courtyard, Shen Chun finally raised her head, "Brother, I’m sorry, I tried to persuade them, but Mom and Dad wouldn’t listen...."

"I know." Shen Bin didn’t say more. Original content can be found at novelꜰire.net

Upon hearing this, Shen Chun’s tears flowed even more.

Shen Jiangshan was displeased and glared at his daughter, "Cry, cry, all you know is to cry, useless, really raised a good-for-nothing."

This sentence turned Shen Chun’s face pale, her body swayed, but Shen Bin reached out to steady her, allowing her to stand firm. Gao Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore and tugged at her husband’s arm. Only then did Shen Jiangshan stop scolding his daughter. Shen Chun bit her lip so hard it bled but did not let up.

Shen Bin’s eyes flashed with coldness, but he said nothing.

Across the road from the courtyard, they saw Gao Xique in a red top and gray pants. As soon as she saw Shen Bin and the others coming, she quickly stood up, especially when looking at Shen Bin; her eyes were fixated. Back in the village, Shen Bin, dressed in a suit, looking so composed and cold, was unappealing. When he ran away from the wedding, Gao Xique despised him even more. However, not having seen him for years, Shen Bin had completely transformed.

Gao Xique began to regret, what’s the use of a good job, if she was with Shen Bin, she would be the wife of someone wealthy, able to have whatever she wanted, so she didn’t hesitate and said to Shen Bin, "I haven’t divorced you, you can’t marry someone else, with so many people here today, let’s ask everyone who is truly your wife."

Gao Xique tried to grab Shen Bin, but he easily evaded her hand, eyes full of disgust, "I didn’t have a wedding ceremony with you, no bridal chamber, no marriage certificate. Whose wife are you?"

Gao Xique threw a tantrum, "I am your wife, everyone in the village knows it, you can’t deny it here."

"Gao Xique, don’t think I don’t know about your affairs just because I’m not in the village. You ran off with someone and came back only after he rejected you. I’m not here for your sake. Let’s clear things up right now." Shen Bin remained at a distance, turning to his adoptive parents, "Choose: return to the hometown or the job, don’t even think about Gao Xique’s plan."

"Binzi, won’t you even call me ’Mom’?" Gao Zhi wiped her eyes, yet no tears fell. Her face was originally harsh, her voice sharp, clearly not an easy person to deal with.

"Enough, can’t you see he looks down on us?" Shen Jiangshan, a practical man, said, "It’s just two jobs, you also need to arrange accommodation, where would we stay otherwise. Once there’s work, we won’t bother you anymore."

Shen Bin didn’t buy it, "I’m not powerful enough to pull any strings. I can only get them cleaning jobs at the hospital, temporary positions, with a monthly salary of thirty, plus a five-dollar subsidy. Think it over, make a decision now, I don’t have much time."

Thirty-five dollars a month was quite tempting.

Shen Jiangshan agreed immediately, "Alright, but where would we live?"

"There are many rental places in the city. I’ve sent enough money home each year to cover a year’s rent, and once they start working, they’ll have income too." Shen Bin narrowed his eyes, "Let me be clear, I’ve helped you this time, but if anything happens again, I won’t interfere anymore. If my mom hands you over to the police, I won’t stop her."

"Don’t worry, are we that kind of people?" Shen Jiangshan laughed, rubbed his hands together, "Binzi, you’re getting married today, how can you not let your family attend? We raised you, if people saw us come and leave , it wouldn’t look good for you, right? Don’t worry, we’ll just sit quietly on the side and not say anything." (To be continued.
