Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

On the way, Shen Ron was all gloomy, and naturally Cheng Lydia didn’t bother to talk to him, opening her phone to read the news of the day.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The party was being held at the Star Hyatt, and as the car pulled up in front of the Star Hyatt, Cheng Lydia surveyed the opulently decorated hotel doors ahead of her, a wave of heat creeping up on her small face, her cheeks flushed crimson.

It was at this hotel that she and Shen Ron started …

She stole a sideways glance at Shen Ron, just in time to make contact with his mocking gaze that permeated the room.

“What? Fresh in your mind?” Shen Ron took very human revenge for the feud over the dress he’d just made.

“Boring!” Cheng Lydia ripped off her seatbelt and pushed out of the car, walking quickly inside the hotel.

Since she rarely wore such high shoes in general and was walking extremely fast, she almost fell to the ground when she was unsteady on her feet. Happy Shen Ron caught her body with a quick glance and swept her into his arms.

“Quality …” Shen Ron whispered those two words in her ear.

Cheng Lydia remembered LILY’s instructions and slowed down as she did, putting her hands on Shen Ron’s arms as an elegant and beautiful female companion.

When Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia walked in, there was already a large gathering of men and women.

The invited guests are some rich and powerful aristocrats, and the organizer is a government department, so the invitees who can come basically will not miss.

Cheng Lydia followed Shen Ron’s example and took a glass of red wine from the waiter’s hand as she glanced around the room, her eyes consciously searching for a certain figure. As she expected, Lim Toby and Feng Ann had indeed attended the party together and were holding hands and chatting happily with a middle-aged man.

Not only did she see Lim Toby and Feng Ann, but also Lim Edith, the one who had hated to whip herself to death, was holding a svelte-looking young man, smiling lightly and sweetly.

Cheng Lydia consciously searched for Lim Toby, not because she missed him, but to find where they were and try to avoid running into them. Especially Lim Edith, if she saw that she was attending the party with Shen Ron, she would probably get mad and lose her mind, right?

While in a trance, Cheng Lydia felt a hot breeze blowing between her ears and she was startled, only to turn her head and find Shen Ron looking at her with an irritated expression.

“What’s wrong?” She asked.

“This is Vice Mayor Lin’s wife, and they are greeting you.” Shen Ron smiled shallowly and pointed to the middle-aged fat woman across the room.

Cheng Lydia was busy owing, “Hello Mrs. Lim.”

“Hello, beautiful dress.” The mayor’s wife swept her off her feet, smiling a little stiffly, and brushed past the two with that throw, clearly exasperated by the disrespect she’d just shown.

As soon as the mayor’s wife left, the light smile that had been on Shen Ron’s face instantly disappeared, and the large palm that was wrapped around Cheng Lydia’s waist gave her a firm squeeze as she coldly whispered in her ear, “Now is not the time to be coupled up with your ex-husband, so pay attention to me.”

Cheng Lydia blushed and was about to argue when she was interrupted by the oncoming Gu William and Chung Grace.

“Lydia, when did you get here? I was just about to call you.” Chung Grace came up smiling and frowned when she saw the light blue dress she was wearing, “Blue again, honey don’t you have any other color that catches your eye but blue? Doesn’t it bother you, does it Ron?”

Her gaze flickered to rest on Shen Ron’s face.

Shen Ron twisted his head and swept Cheng Lydia a look, did she only like blue? He didn’t really know, no wonder she was so insistent on this dress.

Chung Grace turned to sizing up Shen Ron, and nonchalantly grabbed his tie with her small hand and gave it a firm tug, saying in a warning tone, “Master Ron, Lydia is my best friend, if you dare to bully her, I’ll be the first to forgive you, remember?”

“Remember.” Shen Ron replied in blackface.

“Better really remember that.” Chung Grace’s fingers loosened and released him.

Cheng Lydia looked at the side of Shen Ron’s darkening face and gestured with her eyes for Chung Grace to stop.

Shen Ron will listen to her, Miss Shi? Don’t be naive!

Gu William, standing next to Chung Grace, looked at Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, dear, Ron loves his wife very much and will not let her suffer a bit. ” He deliberately lengthened the words ‘love very much’, and his smile was full of mockery.

The subtlety of it is only heard by Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia themselves.

Cheng Lydia smiled and laughed, wondering why the hell this man was doing this. Was he doing it to target Shen Ron or her? It better be neither, this strange and dangerous man!

She stole a glance at Shen Ron and found the same fake smile on his face like he was wearing a mask, and the words that came out were dogged, “Of course, I love whatever is mine, and no one is going to take it away from me.”

As he said this, he also tightened his arms around her waist, deliberately tightening them around her.

Cheng Lydia finally sensed the fire between the two men, but she didn’t know what kind of love-hate relationship they had, and even if she did, it wasn’t her place to get involved, was it? So it was wise to continue to play dumb at the moment.

It was a good thing that a new member joined the party at this time, Ye Max, who smelled gunpowder from afar and smiled as he surveyed the two, “You two are early, why don’t you go inside the VIP room for a drink?” He then sized up the female companions around them and said, “There are a lot of beautiful women tonight, especially the two in front of us.”

“Have an eye for it.” Chung Grace gave Ye Max a thumbs up and a flirtatious smile.

As the men chatted about the mall and finance, Cheng Lydia pulled Chung Grace to a corner of the ballroom and gestured with her jaw at Gu William not far away and whispered, “You’re still seeing him, huh?”

“Of course, I said I meant it.” Chung Grace took a sip of her juice.

“And did you know he was serious?”

“If it wasn’t serious, you wouldn’t have brought me to the party would you?” Chung Grace laughed and gestured at herself, “Look at that, millions of dollars in clothes, if you weren’t serious you’d spend that kind of money?”

Just millions. …

Cheng Lydia is speechless and really wants to tell her that Gu William’s breakup fee with another woman was a Bugatti sports car.

“But I always thought you were dangerous like that.”

“There you go again.” Chung Grace couldn’t take it and rolled her eyes, “You’ve said that a lot of times and I’m tired of hearing it, come on, go to the bathroom with me!”

Chung Grace pulled Cheng Lydia towards the toilet. As Chung Grace moved too fast, Cheng Lydia was dragged by her and fell on top of a man as she lost her footing.

Cheng Lydia expected to fall in a heap, but instead her body was held securely in the crook of her arm, followed by a familiar masculine scent around her nose.

Lim Toby, she didn’t have to look up to know it was him, the man was too familiar to her.

“I’m sorry.” She tried to withdraw from the crook of his arm, but his arm was as tight as a steel ring, holding her in a death grip.

Cheng Lydia froze and looked up, coming into contact with his deep, well-like gaze.

Such a look she had not seen in Lim Toby’s eyes for three years, so why did it pass over to her today, when she was married to a woman?

Had it been less than two months and he regretted it? No, how could he regret it, when Feng Ann, in a loose dress, was standing beside him at the moment, pregnant with his pair of sons?

“Toby, let’s hurry over.” Feng Ann gave Cheng Lydia a scowling look and pulled on Lim Toby’s other arm.

Lim Toby, however, just moved his arm and still didn’t let go.

“Let go of me!” Cheng Lydia scolded down at him in annoyance.

While her and Lim Toby’s antics didn’t startle much, there were plenty of onlookers at all, and Lim Edith, who had been pestering Shen Ron to stay put, even pulled Shen Ron in to watch the action from the sidelines.

And Shen Ron’s handsome face tightened for the millionth time tonight.

“Cousin, I remember … this woman seems to be brought by you, right?” Lim Edith looked at Cheng Lydia, who was held in the arms of Lim Toby, and was full of mockery: “All divorced from my brother for so long, and my brother already has a wife and children, still entangled like this, really shameless.”

“I didn’t bring her in.” Shen Ron brushed that off coldly and turned to walk out of the crowd.

“Oh my God, it’s a drag, just don’t want your skirt ripped!” Chung Grace impatiently went up and squatted behind Cheng Lydia, pulling Cheng Lydia’s skirt around her waist with one hand and squeezing the cufflinks that Lim Toby had hooked onto her skirt with the other, but they still didn’t come off.

It turned out that the cufflinks were hooked on her skirt, and the few good women who had gathered around turned away in bemusement, and Cheng Lydia, surprised, turned her head to look at her own back, but could see nothing.

“Say, that’s quite a quality dress you’ve got there, cost Shen Ron a pretty penny, didn’t it?” Chung Grace deliberately muttered as she tugged, “Looks like we’ll have to get the scissors.”

“Waiter, please bring over a pair of scissors.” Chung Grace waved at a passing waiter.

Soon, the waiter brought up the scissors.

“Let me do it.” Lim Toby took the scissors, switched positions and crouched at Cheng Lydia’s feet, carefully cutting the cufflinks off his own sleeves. Instead of cutting Cheng Lydia’s skirt, he chose to cut his own cuffs.

“Go to the bathroom and get your skirt off and get it done.” Lim Toby put the scissors back in the waiter’s hands and straightened his cuffs that were missing a piece of fabric.

Chung Grace looked at the cufflinks hanging from Cheng Lydia’s waist, and then at Lim Toby’s unconcernedly handsome face, and sneered in exasperation, “Master Lim, you don’t need to act so sacrificial, it’s just a dress, Shen Moxie can still afford it.”

“You can’t afford to walk around a party in a dress with a hole in it can you?” Lim Toby snapped back.

“Let’s go.” Cheng Lydia pulled past Chung Grace, who was ready to freak out, and headed in the direction of the bathroom.

“Disgusting man!” Chung Grace flung this at Lim Toby before she left. Lim Toby acted like a gentleman and didn’t even change his expression, but Feng Ann and Lim Edith were so angry that they were jumping on the spot.

In the washroom, Chung Grace took a long time to remove the cufflinks from Cheng Lydia’s skirt and threw them on the sink, “From these cufflinks, you can tell that The Lim Family will go out of business in time, and the president of The Lim Family is wearing such poor quality cufflinks! The Lim Family’s president is wearing such poor quality cufflinks, and he’s going around wreaking havoc on others!”

The cufflink that Chung Grace had flung out rolled around on the sink and came to a lonely rest into the corner.

The cufflinks were indeed worthless and uninspiring at first glance, only … Cheng Lydia, however, looked more and more familiar, and she reached out to pick them back up, cupping them between her two fingers and turning them over.

The cufflinks were given to Lim Toby the year she first joined Yarn and got her first paycheck in life, and to show her gratitude, she asked Chung Grace to bring back this pair from Japan.

The cufflinks were not made of valuable material, but the design on them was extremely symbolic and the price was not really cheap at all for her at that time.

She just couldn’t understand why Lim Toby hadn’t thrown it away and instead wore it to tonight’s party.

Lim Toby has a lot of cufflinks, gold and silver, with diamonds and jade … everything, so why did he wear it out alone?

“What? Cheng Lydia, can you behave yourself?” Chung Grace, who was fixing her make-up, gave her a stern look when she noticed her attachment to Lim Toby’s cufflinks.

Cheng Lydia handed her the cufflinks in her hand, “Grace, don’t you think this one looks familiar at all?”

Chung Grace heard her ask and took the cufflinks and flipped through them, staring up at her, “I don’t think so.”

“It’s the one you bought for me from Japan for Lim Toby back in the day.”

“Ah …” Chung Grace exclaimed with her mouth open, looking up the cufflinks again, then nodded, “After you say that, it does seem like the pair I bought for you.”

“What do you mean Lim Toby, what does he mean?” Cheng Lydia was speechless.

“What could be the point?” Chung Grace tossed the cufflinks back into her hands and continued to fix her makeup in the heavy mirror while saying, “I can’t even remember that I bought the cufflinks myself, much less that heartless guy Lim Toby, who was in a hurry to attend the party and casually grabbed a pair of cufflinks from the jewelry box while walking. Or maybe that bitch Feng Ann thought the cufflinks were pretty chic and snapped them on Lim Toby’s shirt herself.”

Chung Grace turned her head and looked at a baffled Cheng Lydia: “Honey, you didn’t think Lim Toby was still in love with you and was wearing the cufflinks you gave him when you saw him, did you?”

“How is that possible?” Cheng Lydia snickered.

Lim Toby had no love for her long ago, so how could he have any love for the pair of cufflinks she gave him?

Chung Grace is right, Lim Toby has so many cufflinks, how could he remember every pair that came to Toby? Must be like Chung Grace said that he picked it out of the jewelry box when he was in a hurry or Feng Ann pinned it on for him.

“Better not really think so or I’ll look down on you.” Chung Grace gathered up her handbag, “Come on, out you go.”
