After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 575: Extra: Bringing the Wife Home

Xiao Ling and Shen Zheng quickly left and didn’t get involved in the chaotic scene.

Shen Zheng just asked the general manager of his branch company to stay behind and pay close attention to the situation of the Shen Family’s business partners to avoid any trouble for the Shen Family.

“Before, you kept saying you had siblings at home, was that the young girl just now?” Shen Zheng brought Xiao Ling to his office, poured her some tea, sat down beside her, and then asked this question.

Xiao Ling was startled, then laughed, “My last name is Xiao, and that young girl’s last name is Ying.”

Shen Zheng knew of the Xiao Family in Beijing, but it was also possible that some other siblings might be using different surnames.

Thinking of the Xiao Family’s disdain for Xiao Ling, Shen Zheng’s impression of the Xiao Family worsened.

After all, it was a family that had established itself on dirty tactics—how good could they be?

Beijing’s noble circle is neither too small nor too large.

There were many people they did not know; of course, for influential families, they were aware of them even without interactions, having heard of them.

Once assured Xiao Ling was not entangled with other powers, Shen Zheng didn’t bother with it any further.

Whether the other side is surnamed Ying or Bai, it didn’t concern them.

And with such people, it was unlikely that they’d ever cross paths again.

“Do you want to come back to Beijing with me?”

When Shen Zheng asked this, he appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was very nervous.

He didn’t dare to shift his gaze even slightly.

Xiao Ling didn’t agree immediately, but instead asked him, “Have you really thought this through? Shen Zheng, you know who I am and what I’ve done. If you can accept me as I am, what about your family?”

She knew Shen Zheng loved his family dearly, and if his parents found out about her background, they might harbor misgivings.

Nobody would want a daughter-in-law with blood on her hands; although she had retired, she might one day bring disaster to the Shen Family.

Even so, could the Shen Family accept her?

She admitted she was a bit of a coward, not daring to think of a lifetime commitment.

Even now, she wanted confirmation.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for herself, nor did she want to make it hard for Shen Zheng.

If being together would cause pain to everyone, she would rather let go.

“At this point, you’re still asking me this? My parents are not like that, they are very open-minded. Their only requirement for a future daughter-in-law is that I like her. Xiao Ling, if you care about these things, we can hide them for a lifetime.”

Xiao Ling shook her head, “Rather than causing a catastrophe in the future and catching them unprepared, it’s better to be upfront from the beginning. I’m not very fond of lying.”

“Fine, say what you want to say. So, do you agree to come back to Beijing with me now?” Shen Zheng set aside the previous topic and asked for confirmation again.

After a long while, Xiao Ling nodded.

Shen Zheng’s face beamed with a smile as he pulled her into his arms.

Xiao Ling followed his movements and quickly found a comfortable position, and when she looked up, she met his deep, dark gaze.

Just as the atmosphere in the office was becoming intimate, the door was knocked.

Shen Zheng was about to kiss Xiao Ling when she efficiently pushed him away, and his face darkened instantly as he stared at the door behind him, “Come in.”

Xiao Ling picked up a book from nearby and started flipping through it, glanced at Shen Zheng who looked rather frustrated, and silently smiled.

Shen Zheng took Xiao Ling back to Beijing.

Gu Ting and Shen Zuo had no idea that Shen Zheng brought someone back with him, as they were noisily discussing how to arrange the banquet, whether to notify the Qi family, and so on.

The whole Shen Family was bustling with excitement, and nobody noticed Shen Zheng walking in.

Shen Zheng had called out several times outside, but even the servants were nowhere to be seen, only the clamor from inside, clueless as to what was going on.

Upon entering.

Well, look at that!

It appeared that the entire family had gathered.

The whole Shen Family, along with the servants of the villa, were all huddled together muttering about topics related to a baby’s full-month celebration.

No one took notice of his return.

Feeling a tad embarrassed, Shen Zheng glanced at Xiao Ling beside him and cleared his throat, “Dad, Mom, uncle, aunt, auntie, uncle…”

Hearing Shen Zheng calling out the elders, Xiao Ling felt a bit overwhelmed.

Glancing over, there were at least over twenty people gathered in the living room. Suddenly hearing Shen Zheng’s greeting, they all turned around in unison, their gazes firmly on them.

Just as Gu Ting was about to express displeasure, her peripheral vision caught the girl standing beside Shen Zheng, and her eyes immediately lit up, her face breaking into a broad smile, “Xiao Zheng, you’re back! And who is this beautiful young lady? She’s so charming! Come, come! I’m sorry for the delay, auntie has been busy with a happy occasion at home. We were all discussing it, and this young man didn’t even notify us in advance that he was bringing someone back today.”

Like a whirlwind, Gu Ting breezed up to Xiao Ling, shooing her inconvenient son aside.

That tactless boy, bringing a delicate girl home and just standing petrified at the entrance, was incredibly rude.

Xiao Ling was startled by the sudden warmth and awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth.

“Mom, this is Xiao Ling…”

Gu Ting shot her son a sideways glare, “Mom knows, you don’t need to introduce her.” She then turned back to Xiao Ling with a beaming smile, “So, you’re Xiao Ling? Can auntie call you Lingling?”

“That’s, that’s fine…” Xiao Ling felt even more uncomfortable under the kindly gazes of the entire family.

“Lingling, how long have you and my rascal of a son been dating? When do you plan to get registered and have a banquet?”

“…”

Shen Zheng hurried over to intervene, “Mom, Xiao Ling is just here to get to know the place.”

“You don’t understand anything, talking to a girl for so long and still being so unclear, no wonder she didn’t want to visit our home.” Gu Ting had hardly any intention of giving her son a chance to speak.

The odds of a man saying something right are slim, better he stays quiet.

“Auntie, Shen Zheng is right, I’m just here today to…”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s just to get to know the place or something else. As long as you come to our home, we are happy!”

Others followed suit, echoing with smiles on their faces.

With looks that almost wished they would get married on the spot, Xiao Ling nearly crumbled under the pressure to flee.

Shen Zheng resignedly took Xiao Ling’s hand, saying to his mother, “Mom, I’m taking Lingling upstairs to rest. You can discuss our matters after your talk is done. Don’t scare away someone I’ve finally waited for to come back.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ting quickly responded, “It’s indeed tiring to travel all this way. Take Lingling upstairs to rest. I’ve already cleaned up your room. Do you need any clothes to change into? Yanyan left several new sets here at home, I’ll bring some for Lingling.”

“No need, I’m just taking her up to rest for a bit,” Shen Zheng hastily interrupted his mother’s words, for fear she might veer off on another tangent.

Gu Ting acknowledged with an “oh” and watched the two go upstairs, hearing the door to the second floor close.

The Shen Family exchanged glances and then huddled together excitedly, muttering amongst themselves again, but this time the subject of their topic shifted to the two who had gone upstairs!

“Let’s just decide on the banquet issue like this. Next, we need to hurry up with preparations. This stinking boy brought someone home without saying a word,” Gu Ting complained with her lips, but her face blossomed with joy, and it was evident to anyone that she was very happy today!

Some Shen Family members eager to attend to matters didn’t stay any longer, only a few idle ones remained, waiting to see the girl that Shen Zheng had brought back!
