I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 257

“That’s too much. This is about the Song family and the Fu clan. What does it have to do with Wei?” After sorting everything out, Jiang Yu’s anger flared up. The Song family is too despicable.

Even if Song Jingyu isn’t related to them by blood, she’s still Song Huaiyan’s adopted daughter and Fu Chengyan’s cousin by name. She fell in love with her cousin and forced her cousin to marry her? Isn’t she afraid that others would ridicule her? They even implicated my innocent Wei.

“No, I won’t let them off easily as long as this matter isn’t resolved. So what if they are from the capital? I won’t let the people who hurt Wei get away scot-free.”

“Don’t act impulsively. We shouldn’t offend the Song family unless it’s absolutely necessary. Fu Chengyan didn’t even take action, so that means he doesn’t want to burn bridges. You will be going against the Song family if you take action now.”

“What should we do? Let the cyberbullies continue to bully Wei? Those netizens spare no effort in criticizing her. Besides, can you guarantee that Song Jingyu won’t target our Wei anymore?”

Jiang Yu couldn’t just stand and watch Shi Wei get bullied. The Shi family might pale in comparison to the Song family and the Fu clan, but they were still part of the upper-class society. Her daughter was also married. How would she face her in-laws?

“You are right. But for the sake of Wei’s future, we can’t act recklessly. Did you forget that father has connections with Fu Chengyan?” After a brief consideration, Shi Jingzheng decided they couldn’t go against the Song family for now. Everything was purely their speculation.

“Yes, you’re right. Let’s go talk to father and find out what Fu Chengyan’s plans are. He might help Wei out of respect for father!” Jiang Yu nodded. “If nothing works, I’ll have to turn to my last resort.”

“What last resort?”

“Leak Song Jingyu’s familial history of mental illness,” Jiang Yu sneered. “I believe you know nothing about this. Back then, Song Huaiyan and his first love were about to get married, but the day he brought her back home, she suddenly had an attack. The woman bit Song Huaiyan’s parents and even assaulted Song Huaiyan’s grandmother. She was out of control,” Jiang Yu scoffed. “I spent a lot of money to discover that.”

“I heard the woman left a terrible impression on the Song family. She did well after that, but they wouldn’t take the risk of letting her marry their son. Think about it. Her mental illness ran in the family. Hence, her offspring might inherit it too.” Jiang Yu retrieved an envelope from her drawer and handed it to Shi Jingzheng.

Shi Jingzheng took it hesitatingly and frowned. “You mean Song Jingyu inherited the mental illness from her mother?”

Jiang Yu nodded. “I am sure she did. Her obsession for Fu Chengyan is too much!” She recalled how Song Jingyu acted crazily at the annual dinner.

“Keep this. If all else, leak it.”

Shi Jingzheng paused before continuing. “I’ll go talk to father.”

“Sounds great!” Even though Shi Yunsheng said nothing, Jiang Yu knew Shi Yunsheng hated her regardless of the fact that she had married into the Shi family a long time ago.

Jiang Yu tried her best to earn his approval, but his attitude remained neutral at best. When she was young, she tried all means to please Shi Yunsheng, but now, she couldn’t be bothered anymore.

After their discussion, Shi Jingzheng went to his father’s room at once. Shi Yunsheng was reading when his son came in. Putting down his book, he asked, “Why are you here?”

“Father, I’m here to talk about Wei.”

“Wei?” Shi Yunsheng nodded. “I’ve heard about what happened to her. I am old, not blind. She—”

“Father, Wei might be arrogant, but she’s a good girl. She’s already married to Xicheng. There’s nothing between her and Fu Chengyan!” Shi Jingzheng hurriedly explained.

Shi Yunsheng shook his head upon seeing Shi Jingzheng’s anxious reaction. “I haven’t finished talking yet, but you’re already defending her. Zheng, have you ever wondered why I am partial to Nuan instead of Wei when they are both my granddaughters?”

“Well…”

“I believe you know the reason well, so I won’t say much. Whether or not it was Wei’s fault doesn’t concern me. Since you’re here, tell me – what do you want me to do?”

Shi Yunsheng’s straightforwardness made Shi Jingzheng feel guilty. “Father, you know why I adore Wei instead of Nuan—”

“But since you chose Nuan back then, you should already be prepared. Why did you bring her back if you can’t fulfill your roles well?” Shi Yunsheng shook his head in disappointment. “She knows nothing, so there’s no need to make things difficult for her. Forget it. Tell me why you are here.”

“I came today to ask for your help. You are close to Fu Chengyan, right? Can you ask Fu Chengyan to clarify this situation? This has been troubling Wei, but the man can resolve it with just an explanation. Wei is still in the entertainment field and it’s a complicated industry. She’s being defamed now, so it’ll affect her career. Besides, Huancheng is badly affected, too. Father—”

“Enough,” Shi Yunsheng raised his hand to stop Shi Jingzheng. “I know why you are here today. Indeed, I am close to Fu Chengyan, but I don’t know if our relationship can help you.”
