strongChapter 559: Chapter 559/strong

    Zhao Ying wasn’t angry at what Shen Jiming had said, she mocked him, “Yeah, it proves I’m still quite charming. I really don’t know how I wasted the best years of my life on you.”

    Shen Jiming said, “Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of the children?”

    Zhao Ying really didn’t understand. Since they were separated, why couldn’t they just act like strangers? Why keep entangling tirelessly? In the end, it seemed like there was deep-seated hatred, hurling insults and nders at each other.

    It would only make the children ufortable.

    She didn’t want the children to feel ufortable, so after her wave of emotions had passed, she suddenly felt like she didn’t want to talk anymore, didn’t want to waste words on him, didn’t want to waste time with him.

    So Zhao Ying kept silent.

    But Shen Jiming took her silence as her admission and retreat, bing even more aggressive, “I hit the mark, didn’t I? It looks like you also know, the children would feel ashamed if they knew you were toying with a young man?”

    Zhao Ying suddenly felt extremely weary, only feeling that the prime years of her youth werepletely squandered, and even more absurd was the fact she had once truly loved this jerk. Thinking about it now, it was both sad andughable.

    Although Qin Song didn’t understand how he, approaching fifty, had be a “young man,” hearing the unpleasant words from Shen Jiming and seeing President Zhao’s tired and silent demeanor,

    Qin Song stepped forward, blocked her, and stood with a condescending look down at Shen Jiming, “Do you believe this ‘young man’ could have you carried out of here today?”

    Shen Jiming always held himself in high esteem, considering himself a role model, a gentleman. Gentlemen use words, not fists, so he would never engage in brawling like grabbing cors.

    Seeing Qin Song’s stance, he began to back down, “What? You want to fight? Let me tell you, this is a society ruled byw…”

    Su Lu could no longer just stand by and watch.

    In fact, she and Bo Jingshen had arrived earlier, but felt as children, it wasn’t quite appropriate to meddle in their parents’ conflicts.

    Parents might not want their children to see them fighting fiercely with each other, a disgraceful side.

    At least, Su Lu felt as a mother, if she and Bo Jingshen were arguing, she definitely wouldn’t want Zhao Xiaole to be there.

    So she had not shown herself but had been listening quietly in a nearby rest area.

    She had great hearing, so she could clearly hear the content of the argument between Shen Jiming and Zhao Ying.

    At first, she found it quite funny; some of the things said by Shen Jiming were genuinelyugh-worthy. The way her mother spontaneously grabbed the security chief as a shield also made Su Lu think her mother was rather lively.

    However, as Shen Jiming’s words became nastier and her mother’s sudden silence and weariness, Su Lu found it too painful to remain passive.

    Perhaps this was clearer to her now that she was a mother herself.

    Children are always a woman’s vulnerability, perhaps this is also why women can’t dominate the world, because of crying children.

    Even against the toughest, most formidable, most outstanding women like Zhao Ying,

    Children are still their soft spot, and if someone wishes to, they can easily hurt them from this angle.

    Su Lu asked Bo Jingshen to wait there with their son, while she quickly approached.

    She moved gracefully, standing next to Zhao Ying.

    Zhao Ying was taken aback, then smiled at her, “You came?”

    Su Lu put an arm around her shoulder and turned to look at Shen Jiming, “What’s there for my mom to be ashamed of? When you started fooling around with women in your twenties, my mom was at home, a dutiful wife and a good mother. You didn’t find that shameful; what’s there for my mom to be ashamed of? My words might not be persuasive, but I can call Brother Xun toe and talk to you about it.”

    Shen Jiming frowned at Su Lu, “It’s adults talking, what’s it to you?”

    “Who acknowledged you as my elder?” Su Lu watched him calmly, “Legally we have no rtion, Mr. Shen. I never acknowledged you as any kind of elder, did I?”

    Shen Jiming’s face soured, indeed, Su Lu had never once called him father.

    It had always been Mr. Shen here, Mr. Shen there.

    “You fooled around with women so much that you lost your children and broke up your home, yet you weren’t ashamed. What is there for my mom to feel ashamed of? Not to mention just dating a young boyfriend, even if she dated a whole line of them, I’d only apud her charm. At least she’s not like some who, even though married with children, still mess around with female students.”

    Su Lu remained calm, speaking at an even pace.

    Shen Jiming’s expression turned extremely ugly as he red at Zhao Ying, “This is the fine daughter you’ve raised, the good daughter you’ve taught!”

    He was the most typical, the most pathetic kind of man, never taken a day’s responsibility as a husband or a father, but once he found any ws in his home or his children, he would just incessantly me his wife.

    As if everything good in this family was his doing, and anything bad was because others weren’t good enough.

    inly put, famously hypocritical, downright shameless.

    “Thank you to you, I was separated from my mom at a young age and didn’t receive her nurturing. Otherwise, who knows how much more you would have bullied me, but fortunately, my life has been tough as reeds. Are you upset? Even if you are, just suck it up. Mr. Shen, goodbye, no need to see you out?” Su Lu said and pointed towards the hall’s door.

    Shen Jiming, unable to argue with Su Lu, snapped, “Such sharp teeth and a smart mouth! Truly ill-bred!”

    Su Lu pointed towards the direction of the door, “Goodbye, no need to see you out? I’ll say it onest time, this is myst bit of politeness, Mr. Shen.”

    Saying this, Su Lu signaled Qin Song.

    Qin Song raised his hand towards the security team already prepared on the side of the hall, giving them a signal.

    Seeing that he couldn’t gain any ground, Shen Jiming could only turn around to leave with a dark expression.

    “Wait a minute,” Su Lu called out to him from behind.

    Shen Jiming turned to look at her.

    Su Lu took an envelope from Zhao Ying’s hands and threw it in front of Shen Jiming, “Take the trash you brought with you and dispose of it yourself.”

    Shen Jiming trembled with rage but still bent down to pick up the envelope containing the invitation, and left without turning back.

    After he left, Su Lu then held onto Zhao Ying’s shoulders, looking at her seriously, “Why do you bother? Waste of time and energy engaging with him.”

    Zhao Ying started tough, clearly much more genuine than before, “I was bored. You guys hadn’t arrived yet, so I just passed the time arguing with him.”

    “If he ever pulls something like that again, just call Brother Xun straight away,” Su Lu said with a frown, “to avoid spoiling your mood, such a scoundrel…”
