Filial piety?

Shen Guohua couldn't help but sneer. At his age, he didn't really expect Shen Changtian to be like other people's sons, bringing honor to the family and carrying forward the Shen family's business. But he also didn't want his life's work to be destroyed in his hands.

So, after learning that Shen Changtian had accumulated a gambling debt of over four billion yuan, he resolutely gave everything under his name to Shen Yanran, perhaps as compensation for the poor child who had lost her mother's love and suffered constant bullying since childhood...

He never imagined that one day his own son would try to use his life to pay out so-called insurance money.

His wife, who had spent most of her life with him, didn't even say a word of concern for him after the incident; she only knew how to beg for mercy for her son, who was worse than an animal.

Shen Guohua was exhausted, not just physically, but also mentally. "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it, just leave."

How could Cheng Liwen just leave like that? She continued to plead with Shen Guohua, "Guohua, you can't just stand by and watch him die! I'm begging you, okay? He's my only son. What will I do if he dies?"

Shen Guohua looked at his wife, whose face was covered in tears, with complicated emotions. In the end, he couldn't be so heartless. "I've left you some money, enough for your future life. And even if you beg me, it won't do you any good. Yanran will not agree to let them out."

Looking at Cheng Liwen's face immediately, I thought, "Who is Shen Yanran? She just married a rich man. With a little money, she thinks she can ruin her family and destroy her life. What bad luck!"

"I don't care if she agrees or not, you're my son's biological father. I'm just asking you, are you going to do anything about this? If you don't... if you don't do anything, I'll jump off this building and end it all, then I won't have to suffer this pain of separation from my flesh and blood!" Cheng Liwen said fiercely, running to the window and threatening Shen Guohua.

Shen Guohua was indeed frightened by her: "Cheng Liwen, what are you doing? Come here quickly, it's dangerous there!"

Cheng Liwen grabbed the windowsill and jumped up, even hanging one leg over the edge. She then said recklessly, "My son is about to die, what do I care about danger? Anyway, if you don't release him from prison, there's no point in me living. I might as well just die and save you from making things difficult for Shen Yanran."

Shen Guohua's body no longer allowed him to get out of bed, so he could only sit on the bed and stare at her intently, saying, "No, you can't do something so foolish. Get down now, cough cough cough!"

Cheng Liwen didn't care about Shen Guohua's physical condition at all and continued to threaten, "If you really don't want me to die, you'd better make Shen Yanran release our son and daughter-in-law, otherwise I'll really jump off this building!"

Fearing that Cheng Liwen might accidentally fall, Shen Guohua quickly agreed, "Okay, I promise you, come down, come down quickly!"

"It's not enough for you to agree; Shen Yanran has to agree too, and the person must be released today!" Cheng Liwen knew that the real decision-maker was that wretched girl Shen Yanran, and she had to see Shen Changtian appear before her with her own eyes, otherwise she wouldn't feel at ease.

Having no other choice, Shen Guohua picked up his phone from beside his pillow and, with trembling fingers, dialed Shen Yanran's number, "Hello, Yanran, where are you?"

"I'm downstairs at the hospital. What's wrong, Grandpa? Are you hungry? I'll be right up," Shen Yanran said casually, lifting the thermos in her hand.

"No, Yanran, I have something to ask you. Could you go to the police station now and ask them to release your father and Du Yuzhi?" Shen Guohua didn't dare tell Shen Yanran that Cheng Liwen was in the ward, afraid that she would worry, so he only told her Cheng Liwen's request.

Shen Yanran found it strange that her grandfather would suddenly ask her to release those two beasts.

"Grandpa, didn't I tell you..." Before Shen Yanran could finish speaking, a series of screams suddenly rang out behind her, as if someone was shouting that someone was going to jump off the building.

Shen Yanran subconsciously looked up and saw a woman in a cleaning uniform standing on a window on the top floor with half of her body sticking out, as if she really was about to jump.

Meanwhile, in the ward, Cheng Liwen was getting impatient. "Guohua, how's it going? Has Shen Yanran agreed yet? When is she going to the police station to release my son?"

Shen Yanran heard a woman's voice faintly coming from the phone and immediately realized something was wrong. "Grandpa, who was talking just now?"

Shen Guohua stammered and lied, "No one else, it's just me alone, did you hear me wrong?"

No, Shen Yanran was certain she hadn't misheard. There was indeed a woman's voice coming from there, and it sounded very familiar... It sounded like Cheng Liwen's voice.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, only her grandfather was staying in the ward on the top floor. How could a cleaning lady possibly be there and even want to jump off the building?

Oh no! Cheng Liwen is going to jump off the building in her grandfather's hospital room!

The thought of this possibility made Shen Yanran's heart race. She ran all the way to the elevator and went up to the top floor.

As soon as Shen Yanran hung up the phone, Shen Guohua knew that she had already guessed it.

He sighed helplessly, his eyes darkening as he looked at Cheng Liwen sitting by the window and said, "Yanran will be here soon. I've agreed to your request. You can come down now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanran ran in from outside and immediately saw Cheng Liwen standing by the window, with half of her body leaning out.

Although Shen Yanran was startled, she was more concerned about Shen Guohua's safety. "Grandpa, are you alright?"

Shen Guohua shook his head, his face pale and weak, and said, "I'm fine, it's just your grandma... You should persuade her not to do anything foolish, be careful, we can discuss anything."

"Shen Yanran, let me tell you, I'm not here to discuss this with you. I'm here to make you release the person right now, or I'll jump off this building and make sure you never have a moment's peace!" Cheng Liwen threatened with death, having tasted the sweetness of Shen Guohua's words, and wanted to make Shen Yanran submit as well.

Whether Cheng Liwen is alive or dead, Shen Yanran is not around, and she will not agree to any of her requests. "No, there is no room for discussion about Shen Changtian's matter."

Not getting the answer she wanted, Cheng Liwen's eyes widened immediately, and she asked angrily, "What! Shen Yanran, what do you mean by that? Do you really want me to jump off here?"

"If you're tired of living, no one's going to stop you." Shen Yanran had no feelings for Cheng Liwen anymore, so she didn't care about her threat.

Cheng Liwen, her eyes bloodshot with rage, said, "So, Shen Yanran, I knew you were a heartless little beast who couldn't wait for me to die! Shen Guohua, you see? This is the granddaughter you always claimed to protect. She's such a cold-blooded and ruthless slut. Not only has she sent her own father to prison, but she also wants to kill me, her own grandmother!"

Biological father, biological grandmother?

When they need something from her, they use blood ties to morally blackmail her.

But why don't they think about what kind of life she lived before she met Li Zhanting? Why didn't they treat her like their own daughter back then?

Shen Guohua felt increasingly helpless at Cheng Liwen's unreasonable behavior. "Cheng Liwen, Cheng Liwen, what kind of time is this to say such heartless things? Over the years, has Yanran ever done anything to wrong you or our Shen family? Don't you think about it? If Yanran hadn't stepped in and paid off Shen Changtian's huge debt back then, do you think you would still be standing here threatening me?"

With a debt of over 4 billion yuan, even if he sold his house, land, and the entire company, he might not be able to pay it off. And even if he did pay it off, how would his whole family live after that? They would be worse off than beggars!

Moreover, both of them are over eighty years old and only have a few days left to live. Yet Cheng Liwen insists on making their relationship irreparable. Does she want him to die with regrets?

"That was just a moment of confusion on Changtian's part, a mistake he made, but he paid the price, even giving up his chairmanship. Besides, Shen Yanran didn't just take the money for nothing. Your funds, stocks, antiques, even the entire company were given to Shen Yanran. In the end, wasn't it all our Shen family's money that was being spent? What face does she have to flaunt her power in front of me? I'm telling you right now, if you don't release my son, I'll die right here in front of you, and I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Cheng Liwen continued to threaten relentlessly.

Shen Guohua was only holding on for Shen Yanran's sake, but Cheng Liwen kept nagging at him until he couldn't breathe. "You...you're crazy, you're really crazy! Cough cough cough!"

"I'm going to be driven crazy by you guys, Shen Guohua. Don't think I'm really afraid to jump." Cheng Liwen said, putting her other foot out, but her hands were gripping the window frame tightly.

Shen Guohua loved his wife, and no matter what her purpose was in doing so, he didn't want anything to happen to her.

Shen Yanran seemed to sense something and shook her head vigorously at Shen Guohua, but he still held Shen Yanran's hands tightly and said earnestly, "Yanran, let it go. Just release Shen Changtian and Du Yuzhi. Consider it my plea to you."

Shen Yanran, of course, would not agree to Shen Guohua's decision, and said with her whole body refusing, "But Grandpa, if we just let him out like this, what if he tries to hurt you again in the future?"

Shen Guohua suddenly said with a relieved expression, "No, Grandpa has thought it through. Once Grandpa recovers, I'll move in with you and we won't see them again. They won't have a chance to hurt me anymore. Do you think that's okay?"
