Chapter 404: Chapter 404 The Only Woman I’ve Ever Loved
Fang Mengying was feeling a bit down.
The thing their family worried about the most has finally happened.
"Mom called, saying Xu Bingzhi went to the house." Fang Mengying lowered her voice.
Sheng Zong wasn’t aware of this yet, and Sheng Tang only had a rough idea.
Grandma didn’t allow anyone to expose it, so everyone stayed silent.
Sheng Sidong’s face changed slightly: "Why did he come again? Last time I told him, Tangtang was impossible for him, what does he want now?"
"It’s the same as before, he wants to see Tangtang and ask for her forgiveness." Fang Mengying sighed.
Sheng Sidong’s frown tightened: "Tangtang is doing fine, she doesn’t hate him, what’s there to forgive?"
"It’s all about his own inner unrest." Fang Mengying replied.
Back then, when Cheng Ruojun gave birth to her daughter, any final hopes of "a mother’s honor comes from her son" vanished.
She gave birth to a daughter, and for a family like the Xu Family, if it had been a boy, maybe they would have considered and accommodated her; but for a girl, they wouldn’t even spare a glance.
She was depressed, facing final exams at school post childbirth, coupled with the cold winter, she caught a cold.
She forced herself to attend the exams despite her illness and passed them smoothly, but her health had never been good since then.
She did indeed secure her degree from the Geological University, arranged for her overseas documents, and never looked at her daughter again. Even when she received Fang Mengying’s "expulsion for bearing a child out of wedlock," she didn’t bat an eye.
Despite her heart of stone, childbirth and the subsequent cold made her physical condition extremely poor and her emotions even worse.
After going abroad, she frequently fell sick, which eventually turned into cancer.
She never informed Fang Mengying or Sheng Sidong about her illness, nor did she ask for money again, perhaps as her final act of conscience.
In her third year overseas, she died in a foreign land due to her illness.
After her death, the school there informed Sheng Tang’s grandmother.
Grandma didn’t spread the news, nor did she arrange for her burial. In that era, traveling abroad was extremely difficult, and grandma couldn’t manage it.
Her school and a few classmates handled her funeral affairs.
In his younger years, Xu Bingzhi decided not to have any further ties with Cheng Ruojun; she had schemed against him to get pregnant, making him hate her profoundly.
Once his anger subsided and he had gained some independence, deciding to leave his family, cancel his arranged marriage, start his own business, and finally, seek Cheng Ruojun, he found out she had already died.
He regretted deeply.
The Fang Family told him that, after her second breakup with him, Cheng Ruojun had aborted the child.
"She wanted to go abroad, graduate successfully; it was impossible for her to have the child. Look at our Meng Ying, being foolish, now she hasn’t even gotten her graduation certificate." Grandma said.
Xu Bingzhi believed it back then.
After all, Cheng Ruojun was an extremely pragmatic woman. He loved her looks but also admitted she was very shrewd and greedy.
He was too young back then to realize the Fang Family would go to such lengths for Cheng Ruojun.
He had never sacrificed for anyone before, so he didn’t doubt Meng Ying’s childbirth was fake.
University students at that time held such a prestigious status, Meng Ying couldn’t have been foolish enough to cover up something like this for anyone.
It wasn’t until last year that he came to find them.
He was now certain that Sheng Tang was that child Cheng Ruojun had carried.
More than ten years had passed, he had fully achieved success, breaking away from his family.
Nowadays, no one in the Xu Family, no matter how influential, could control him anymore.
He wanted to reclaim Cheng Ruojun’s child.
"In my life, the only woman I ever loved was Cheng Ruojun; I can’t abandon her child." He said to grandma, "It wasn’t that I was irresponsible before, you deceived me."
