The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1645: Fooled By the Old Lady

“I was forced by him!” Shen Manting growled out. “Everyone saw him as an upright gentleman. Everyone thought that he was filial, intelligent, and capable. He was perfect in everyone’s eyes!”

Shen Manting turned around to face Old Mrs. Shen and yelled, “Do you have any idea what kind of person he was in the dark?”

“I...”

Before Old Mrs. Shen could finish her sentence, Shen Manting interrupted her. She said, “No, you have no idea! You have no idea at all! He’s a bastard! He’s a monster! He never treated me as a human!”

“There must be some kind of misunderstanding here...”

“What? A misunderstanding?” Shen Manting snorted. “There is no misunderstanding, Granny. Please go back. I will never return with you.”

“Granny is begging you, OK?” Old Mrs. Shen stepped forward and held Manting by her hands. She pleaded, “Please come back. At least, don’t let the child be born a bastard. The child is innocent!”

“You’re mistaken. There is no child.” Shen Manting snatched her hand back. “I don’t know where you got your information from, but I will never give birth to Shen Luo’an’s child. That sort of a bastard child is too disgusting for me!”

Old Mrs. Shen had never expected Shen Manting to be so resolute against her.

Her expression changed a little. She lowered her voice and asked, “Will you not even do it for Granny’s sake? My legs aren’t faring well, and my health is getting worse by the day. I’ve been on medication for a while now. You know that. I... ah...”

Old Mrs. Shen’s face suddenly turned purple. She grabbed her chest as she fell over. They were symptoms of a heart attack.

Shen Manting was shocked. She rushed forward to hold her up. “Granny!” she called out.

Old Mrs. Shen’s complexion looked horrible. She gripped Shen Manting’s hands in her own as she gasped for breath.

Shen Manting’s expression immediately changed as she yelled out, “Help! Somebody, help!”

The bodyguard standing outside quickly rushed in. When he saw the state that Old Mrs. Shen was in, he immediately snapped into action.

He rushed forward and picked Old Mrs. Shen’s frail frame up. “Allow me,” he said.

Old Mrs. Shen refused to loosen her grip on Shen Manting’s hands. Between gasps, she said intermittently, “You... Manting... Manting...”

When the bodyguard witnessed this, his brows furrowed together. He said, “Miss, please come with us. Old Mrs. Shen’s situation doesn’t look too optimistic. Given the way she’s clinging on to you, we can’t take her away either.”

Shen Manting panicked when she heard that. She tried to pry her hands out, but she was no match for the surprising strength of the small old lady.

“Manting...”

It was as if Old Mrs. Shen was determined to drag her along with her and had no intention of loosening her grip.

“Miss, please just come with us!”

Without waiting for Shen Manting’s agreement, he bellowed, “Who is outside? Come in to help!”

...

They took the old lady to the hospital. After diagnosis, they found out it wasn’t anything serious.

Shen Manting knew immediately that she had been fooled by the old lady.

She was furious and wanted to leave. With the group of bodyguards surrounding her, resistance was futile.

“Reporting! Old Madam has asked us to return.”

“Sure, go back.”

As Shen Manting spoke, she stood up and said, “Since you are going back, and this has nothing to do with me anymore, I’ll be leaving now.”

The bodyguard surrounded her and said, “I’m sorry, Miss. Old Madam didn’t say that you could leave. Please come with us.”

“No way!” Shen Manting shouted. “How can you do this? Nobody can take me away without my consent!”
