Good Man Operation Guide

Chcpter 82.3

The party lasted until dark. Ren Fuling was always sitting in the corner without saying a word, watching how Fang Licheng talked to the ladies with confidence and etiquette. Every person she contacted looked cit her with kindness, completely different from the contempt or sympathy hidden in their eyes when they looked at Ren Fuling.

At the end of the party, Ren Fuling watched Fang Licheng, and Madam Fang leave the door together. She looked back at Mother Shen and followed them out with clenched teeth.

She dicln t know why she wanted to go out. She just wanted to see more of Fang Licheng and figure out why a person could change so much.

When she went out the door, Ren Fuling saw the man standing at the cloor at a glance.

Wearing a military uniform and boots, having handsome facial features, and a tall and slender body. He just stood there, but his momentum could make people feel as if they couldnt breathe.

She was stunned and stood stiffly in place, watching the man smile widely and stride this way over.

Tired?

He took Fang Lichengs hand and warmly said, It doesnt matter if you dont come out to these kinds of parties next time. Im the most respectecl in Jin City anyway."

Fang Licheng pursed her lips and smiled, Im your wife. I naturally have to help you take care of these things, not to mention that its not very tiring. Time passes quite quickly when we chat. Has Brother Zheng come home from school yet?

Yeah, the teacher assigned homework. I picked him up and told him to do his homework at home first. Tomorrow is a day off, so I told him we would take him to see the lanterns."

Okay, okay. You two aren't bored yet, so close every day, making this old womans eyes feel tired.

Mother Fang laughed and joked a few words, which made Fang Lichengs face turn red.

Lin Shiheng looked calm and frankly said, Aunt must be joking. If not with my own wife, who would I stay close with?"

They laughed and talked some more, and all three had the same happiness on their faces. Finally, Mother Fang and her daughter got into the carriage, and Marshal Lin. in military uniform, rode his horse on the side of the carriage as if he was protecting them.

From the beginning tothe end, none of the three noticed Ren Fuling. looking over with a big belly.

Ren Fuling looked at the back of their harmonious family and thought of the scene where Lin Shiheng, who was a Grand Marshal, held his wifes hand warmly and cared for her. However, in her mind, her stomach grew bigger because of pregnancy, and her face was full of spots. Because her mother-in-law insistecl that she had to nourish her body to let her child grow better, she had become bloated, and Shen Yunqing didnt like going out with her anymore.

Even when they went out. he wouldnt stay close to her all the time like he did when they werent married yet and was afraid that people didnt know that they were a couple.

Ren Fulings eyes gradually turned red.

After seeing how Lin Shiheng treatecl his wife, she finally realizecl that the lover in her mind didnt value herself as much as he said that he did.

Ren Fuling was too late to realize that.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Shen Yunqing returned, but he wasn't alone.

He brought a woman back.

(TNote: I freaking knew it! Once scum, always scuml)

That woman. like Ren Fuling 6 years ago, was young and beautiful. Although her literary talent wasnt outstanding, and her family wasnt so good, she could win him over by being clever and obedient. As soon as she came, she flattered Mother Shen. And Mother Shen, who spoke coldly to Ren Fuling and even tortured her quite a bit, was talking kindly to that woman as if she was fond of her.

When Ren Fuling went over with tea, she happenecl to hear Mother Shen exclaim with a sigh, How good would it be if my poor Brother Qing married you? You look like a proper claughter-in-law.

Shen Yunqing also spoke in a regretful tone, Son also thinks so. At that time, how could I have thought that Ren Fuling would be such an irritable and ungrateful person?"

Bang!"

The tea in her hand fell to the ground.

Ren Fuling didnt even realize how she ran out of the Shen residence.

Shen Yunqing chased her. His legs and feet hadnt been very good since one of his arms, and his two legs were injurecl. They still hurt when it rained on cloudy days, so he ran very slowly until he reached the place where the street was full of lanterns. He was looking around with an agitated wrinkle on his eyebrow. But he happened to see Lin Shiheng holding Fang Zheng in his arms, smiling as he handed him the lantern he won from solving a riddle.

He smiled dotingly, completely treating the boy as if he were his own child. They passed by him. and Shen Yunqing subconsciously hid behind a large lantern, afraid that he would be seen by Lin Shiheng and get shot again.

While hiding. he heard Lin Shiheng say to the little Fang Zheng, Unfortunately, your mother made an appointment with someone else in advance. Today, its only us, father and son, shopping around at the Lantern Festival. Where clo you want to play? Father, will take you."

I also want to solve a riddle and get a lantern."

Fang Zheng looked at the riddle-game stall with bright eyes and hugged Lin Shihengs neck, looking cute and spoiled, Father, lets guess the riddle and bring some lanterns back to Mother and Grandmother!

Okay, whatever Brother Zheng wants.

The man doted on him and touched his little head. He gave the stall owner some money and asked for two more riddles.

He didnt interfere and let Fang Zheng guess for himself.

Fang Zheng was young but quickly guessed the answer. The stall owner immecliately complimented, The young master is really smart. This lantern riddle is very difficult. Several students came but couldnt answer it. You will become a great scholar in the future.

He was complimented.

A soft smile appeared on Fang Zhengs small white face. He was somewhat happy and somewhat shy. He hugged Lin Shihengs neck and saicl. Thank you, Uncle.

The stall owner immecliately said something along the lines of the young master really knows how to be polite.

The lanterns were quickly handed over because they were won by answering the questions himself, and little Fang Zheng was very proud for a while. When Lin Shiheng askecl him to come down and walk, his little head was held high. With one lantern in each hand, he took the lead, walking in front.

Lin Shiheng didnt wear his military uniform today. He smiled like an ordinary father, followed him. and looked after his son carefully.

After they left, Shen Yunqing popped his head from behind the big lantern, looking at the back of the father and son duo. His expression was full of darkness and regret.

That child, was he that smart?

But now, he was someone elses child.

And he, his own father, was afraid even to see him. He was scared of provoking Lin Shiheng. the devil, and being shot by him.

Thinking that such an intelligent child had become someone elses in vain, Shen Yunqing walked back in a trance and didnt even bother to look for Ren Fuling.

The next clay, someone founcl Ren Fuling, who had passed out. Her mood swings were too great, and her body was over-supplementecl. She was too stimulated and gave birth prematurely.

The doctor who saved Ren Fuling said that this was a good thing. If not, had they continuecl to nourish her like this when she gave birth at full term, the fetus would be too big in the end, and there was a great chance that both mother and son would clie.

After hearing the news, Ren Fuling was silent for a long time. After asking someone to inform the Shen family to pick up the child, she herself disappeared without a trace, supporting her body that had just given birth.

It was as if there was a cycle of karma. At first, she separated Shen Yunqing from Fang Licheng. who had just given birth. Now she was in the same situation as Fang Licheng. No, she was even worse than Fang Licheng. Her maiden family, who could support her, had already given up on her when she insisted on marrying Shen Yunqing.

Nobody cared about the missing Ren Fuling, not even the Shen family.

Originally, Mother Shen disliked her and only carecl about her grandson. Shen Yunqing, on the other hand, had a new lover and paid no attention to his old one. However, the day when he clreamed of marrying his new love hadnt yet arrived, but the docile new lover had already taken advantage of Shen Yunqing's trust and cheatecl him out of most of his familys belongings. and incidentally defrauded the Shen familys business.

This was the end of the powerful Shen family, completely defeatecl. and they even still owed things to other people.

Father Shen was stimulated and died on the spot, Shen Yunqing would only eat and sleep every clay, and Mother Shen could only take up work washing clothes to make money and support her son and grandson.

Mother Shen didnt last long. In the following winter. because of the cold and delayed treatment, coupled with depression, she closed her eyes forever.

Shen Yunqing didnt have his mother to support him anymore, so he had to do things by himself. However, both his legs became useless with age because they had been shot twice. Gradually, he turned from being able to walk slowly to being a complete cripple. Because of his bad temper, he couldnt teach any students. In addition, he didnt want to face people he once knew, so he went to a remote town and barely lived by writing letters for others.

He pinned all his hopes on his son, hoping that his son would be as intelligent as Fang Zheng and take him, his father, back to his olcl life.

But when the boy was ten years old. he was ill-behaved and hated his father, who only knew how to drink. One winter day, Shen Yunqings son, who he had high hopes for, left a letter and vanished.

In the same year. Chinas power was unified, and Lin Shiheng became the President.

The following year, the concessions were reclaimed, and people from other countries gradually left China.

Three years later, the President announced that all the occupiecl places in China had returned to the motherland.

China, which had been oppressed, seemecl to have opened its doors since the President came to power. Within 20 years, it had once again stood at the top of the world.

At that time. TV sets were regarded as very common electrical appliances in China. Shen Yunqing saved money for a long time and bought one. After turning it on, he saw a familiar face.

It was toclays First Lady, Fang Licheng.

She was wearing a beautiful dress. Although she was no longer a young girl of 17 or 18 years old, her face was still beautiful and elegant, and her eyebrows were full of happiness.

Fang Lihengs popularity in China was very high, not only because of her status as the Presidents wife but also because she was a famous writer in China. Her writing touched peoples hearts. In that difficult time, she always insistecl on using words to support her husband. Lin Shiheng once told the media that without Fang Liheng, there would be no Lin Shiheng. This was enough to show how important Fang Licheng was to the country.

Fang Licheng was visiting Britain on behalf of China. accompaniecl by Fang Zheng.

He was young, but he had been exposecl to everything since childhoocl. He was already a mature young man, with a steady look and a bit of exuberance. Obviously, he had never suffered. When interviewed, Fang Zheng always followed his mother and carefully guarded her, looking at her affectionately.

Shen Yunqing stiffened as he watched the scene on TV. For some reason, he choked and coughed on the wine he was drinking in his mouth.

He lived alone. He could only deal with choking on his own, but the more anxious he was, the harder he coughed.

After falling to the ground. his whole life, like a passing light, flashed in front of him.

In his early years, he was spoiled, and in his youth, he acted recklessly. He was miserable and lonely in his middle age, poor, without food, and was despisecl. He was often awakened by pain in the midclle of the night. The rest of his life was like a punishment.

Cough..."

Shen Yunqing coughed for the last time. His eyes were still staring at the screen, but he could never close them again.

After several decades. the retired President and his wife passed away in their sleep. They made great contributions to China all their lives. On the day of their deaths, the whole country lowered their flags in silence, and the elderly of the same era were even more anguished as they sent them off for miles.

However, everyone acknowledged that. in this life. they both accompanied and supported each other and were certainly happy.

[Ding, task completed. Host, please disengage from this world.]

Lin Shiheng sat in a car and slowly opened his eyes.

Hmm, the villains father?

This would be interesting.
