Chapter 137 Shirley''s Scheming
After a long while, Zed and Jean separated themselves from their embrace.
Zed earnestly stared at Jean. Her cheeks flushed while her eyes sparkled. A special feeling consumed
Zed that moment, which made him very contented. Then, he tightly held Jean in his arms. He thought
that it was the happiest moment in his life and hoped to spend the rest of his life with Jean like that.
Jean had just recovered from a severe illness. She had already felt very tired to spend too much
energy. Zed could see the fatigue that was clearly shown on her face.
Even if Jean would be totally fine, Zed thought that he would not stop showing his love to her
That time, he could not stop thinking about it.
It was a great opportunity for them to make their rtionship grow well. Zed felt sympathetic to Jean,
but he felt really happy to wrap Jean in his arms. The night was very long and made both of them go far
away to the dreand.
The next day, Jean was awakened by a continuous hasty knocks on the door. She opened her eyes
slowly and frowned. Jean deliberately slowed her movements and tried to get up from the bed without
making any noise after she noticed that Zed was still asleep. Then, she walked towards the door of the
ward and opened it.
"Sister, I am sorry to wake you up." Shirley was wearing a big smile outside the door. Her face did not
show any guilt or remorse that time. Then she said, "I have brought someone with me. She wanted to
see you. You must have missed her so much. Sister, I know that you will be very happy if you see her."
Jean frowned and felt so much confused. She angrily red at her half-sister and outraged when she
thought about how often Shirley hade to her even if Jean did not care about her at all.
''What a shameless person!'' Jean thought to herself. ''Does Shirley still think that I am as naive as
before? Does she still think that I would still ept all the insults she would give me? It seems like she
wasn''t satisfied after she embarrassed me for several times.
She is really shameless!''
"How did you know that I am here?" Jean was really uninterested about the person Shirley talked
about.
Jean guessed that Shirley went there because she hade up with new ways to put her into trouble.
"Sister, how I knew your location is not important. And it''s also none of your business. What you should
know is that your grandma is standing outside. You should not let an old woman stand here for a long
time!" Shirley reached her hand and pulled the olddy after she finished her words. It was Jean''s
grandma. Her grandma had a gray hair and was very weak. When she saw Jean, her grandma felt very
delighted.
''Grandma?''
Jean heard that Shirley mentioned her grandmother. She trembled in fear when she looked up and saw
the olddy with gray hairs standing in front of her. It was really her dear grandmother.
The olddy''s face was full of wrinkles. She looked so clumsy that her drool dripped out of her mouth
and fell on the floor. She could hardly see things and people clearly. She just giggled as if she were a
little kid when she recognized Jean.
"Grandma..." Jean immediately felt distressed and hurriedly hold the olddy''s hands.
"Jean... Jea...n." Tears came out from Jean''s eyes when her grandma innocently stared at her and
barely called Jean''s name.
Jean amusingly and excitedly asked, "Grandma, is that you?"
The olddy still looked at Jean while her mind was wandering. The dazzled expression on her face
indicated that she was a bit afraid of that unfamiliar ce.
"Sister, I have already brought her here. You missed her so much, right?" Shirley said triumphantly as if
she had done the best thing in the world. Her tone sounded like she had nned something.
Jean tried to calm herself down when she heard what Shirley said. She glowered at Shirley and
gnashed her teeth, while Shirley still wore her bright, yet fake smile. Then Jean disgustedly yelled at
her, "Shirley Wen, what on earth do you want? Have you been so desperate that you even let an
eighty-year-old woman suffer? My grandma is peacefully living in the nursing house. Why did you bring
her here? What is your n this time?"
"Sister, you have to reflect on yourself. It is your fault. How long had it been since youst visited
grandma? You know it better than I do. I tried to understand why you hadn''t visited grandma. Perhaps,
you had no time to go to the nursing house because you were already married to Zed. So, I brought
grandma here." Shirley feigned innocence as what she usually did. Her words were kind, but also full of
sarcasm.
"Grandma? How sweet you are!" Jean grunted, "Don''t think that I am an idiot! I know that you have
hidden intentions. Shirley Wen, I warn you! No matter what kind of tricks you are ying, I will never
make your dreame true." Shirley''s face immediately darkened.
Jean angrily finished her words and held her grandma''s hands. Then she turned around and led her
grandma inside the ward.
"Sister, you can protect your grandma this time. But, do you think you can be with her all the time? One
day, your grandma will fall into my hands. If you won''t consider me and the whole Wen family, I am not
sure about what things I could do to your grandma. I promise, you won''t bear the consequences."
When she saw that Jean and her grandma entered the ward, Shirley threatened her loudly.
"Shirley Wen, don''t you dare touch my grandma, or else… Besides that, I am not your sister. Keep your
dirty mouth shut!" Jean suddenly turned her back and angrily red at Shirley with her face that was
full of hatred.
"Though you had already cut your connection with the whole Wen family, could you really be so cruel to
see the Wen Group go bankrupt? If that would happen, it would be all because of you! You can ignore
my mom, Winner and I, but how could you turn your eyes blind to our father? He is your father by
blood!" Shirley asked Jean with an innocent and submissive look.
"Stop feigning innocence. I am well aware about what kind of person you are. I will never be tricked by
your acts. Shirley Wen, I am wondering, you should''ve chosen being an actress as your career." A hint
of apathy crept on Jean''s face. She said her words in a very cold tone.
"Our family had fallen into unprecedented trouble. You should''ve known that after the dinner party. The
Wen Group had lost a lot of important clients. Our share price had also greatly declined. And worse, no
one of our friends was willing to help us. Our father had been under a great pressure recently. He even
suffered a heart attack and is badly ill now. If it was not because of our father, I would not bring
grandma to you. I just want you to have a look at and care about our father''s condition. Please,
promise me that you will do that."
Shirley emotionally cried to Jean and wiped her tears at the same time.
A heart attack?
Though Jean acted to be so cruel, she didn''t act apathetically when she heard that her father, Henry,
had a heart attack. Jean''s heart skip a beat.
Henry was always in a good health. He even paid great attention to keep himself fit. He had never
suffered any severe diseases before. But that time, he suddenly had a heart attack.
Jean thought that her heart was as hard as a stone for them. Could what Shirley said be true? No! It
was just probably a lie.
Shirley must have told lies to me. She want to deceive me so I would go back to see Henry. Then they
will try to convince me to give them thend.'' Jean doubtingly said to herself.
"What''s wrong?" A gentle voice sounded behind Jean. It was Zed. He noticed that Jean''s face was a bit
sad so he walked out of the ward and asked her with concern.
Shirley immediately blushed after she saw Zed''s presence. Her heart started to beat faster. She
pretended to be calm and greeted him. "Brother-inw!"
What a handsome man!
Zed''s elegance was still the same even if he wore formal clothes or just the clothes designed for
patients.
He was ill and he looked awful, but it even added to his charm. The coldness and apathy that used to
show on his face was reced by gentleness. The cheerless beauty showed on his face made Shirley
feel drunk.
''Jean Wen was really lucky to marry such a charming man. She, an average woman, does not deserve
Zed.''
Her face hardened and darkened. Shirley got very jealous and angry when she thought about it.
Zed frowned after he clearly noticed that Shirley was staring at him like an idiot.
Zed also noticed that Jean was tightly holding the olddy who he didn''t recognize. He was so baffled,
so he asked, "Jean, who is she?"
"She is my grandma." Jean answered absentmindedly. She could not stand Shirley''s presence any
more. Jean took several deep breaths to hold back her anger. Then, she looked at Zed and said, "Zed,
let''s go back inside the ward."
Jean closed the door without hesitation when they were already inside the ward. Consequently, Shirley
was blocked by the tightly closed door.
"Jean Wen, how dare you..."
Jean badly treated Shirley. Shirley felt totally infuriated when she thought about that. She could not
feign kindness and innocence any more. She red up, stamped her foot, clenched her teeth and
screamed, "Wen family had raised you for more than twenty years and searched for an outstanding
husband for you. And this is how you return the favor to us? I have never thought that once you have
someone to rely on, you would be that cruel and ungrateful. Our father is lying in hospital now. I came
here to beg you to see him, but you just turned your back to me. Isn''t he your father by blood? Jean

Wen, you are the most nasty, apathetic and ungrateful woman in the entire world."
Shirley kept yelling and screaming outside the ward. People were curious to see what happened there.
Her action drew a lot of people''s attention.
