Chapter 1647: I Can’t Afford to Bring Up a Child in Any Case

The smile on Shen Manting’s pale face grew turned cold. She said, “Perhaps you’ll think I’m greedy. You can think whatever you want. I don’t care. Regardless, it’s impossible for me to go back with you.”

That place had never been her home. In fact, there was a price to pay for everything that she received there.

That price to pay was too high.

She didn’t want it anymore.

All her hopeful dreams and expectations had disappeared like a wisp of smoke after Shen Luo’an had imprisoned her and treated her as his personal sex slave.

She had initially thought she was a princess.

Later, she realized that she had been nothing more than a joker intended for the communal entertainment of the family.

“Manting!” Old Mrs. Shen was heartbroken. “Shen Luo’an has already been thrown into prison. Has your hatred for Luo’an not diminished even a little bit? Why do you direct your anger at me this way?”

“Granny, I’m not.” The smile on Shen Manting’s face slowly faded away as she continued, “Have you forgotten? My name wasn’t originally Shen Manting.”

Old Mrs. Shen was shocked by her words. Was Shen Manting intending to emancipate herself from the family?

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“That name belongs to your granddaughter. The family name is your granddaughter’s too. I merely borrowed it for a few years, Granny.” Shen Manting smiled humorlessly. “My original name is Zhang Meifang. I still remember it, Granny.”

“Shen Manting!”

“Thank you for the name you gave me, but please call me Meifang. As for the Shen Manting in your family records, please treat it as if she’s dead. Shen Manting won’t exist in the future any longer.”

“No way!” Old Mrs. Shen attitude was firm as she countered, “That’s impossible! Give up that thought immediately!”

“I know what you’re trying to do,” Shen Manting smiled weakly. “You just want this child that I’m carrying, isn’t that it? I can give it to you after I’ve given birth. After that, let’s cut all our ties cleanly.”

The Shen Family…

To everyone in the Capital, that family represented newfound wealth and power.

To her, they were nothing more than a nightmare that she couldn’t untangle herself from.

It was about time to wake up from the nightmare.

Old Mrs. Shen’s complexion turned an ugly shade of green and purple. She said, “It’s not just my great-grandson that I’m after! I want my granddaughter-in-law too!”

“Shen Luo’an is already in prison, and you would have me return to live my life like a widow?” Shen Manting laughed. “I had thought Shen Luo’an was the only selfish one in the Shen family. Now I know it is hereditary.”

Old Mrs. Shen was uncontrollably furious and couldn’t hold back her anger. She yelled, “Shen Manting!”

“It’s Zhang Meifang, Granny.”

Old Mrs. Shen was truly incensed. She had never seen Shen Manting this stubborn before.

Shen Manting was being stubborn to the extent that even Old Mrs. Shen didn’t know what else to say to convince her.

Without any other choice, she used her last card and said, “Regardless of whether this child of yours is a boy or girl, it is my great-grandchild. I have two villas in the Capital that are both huge, with a market price of at least $50 million each. Put together, they are worth a billion. As you are aware, given the economy in the capital, the price will only continue to grow. I’ll leave you those two villas. Will that do?”

Shen Manting sneered.

Old Mrs. Shen had started off being reasonable and using emotions to try to persuade her.

Is she resorting to bribery with a such a huge sum of money now?

“You can leave it to Shen Luo’an’s child.”

“Of course!” Old Mrs. Shen finally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Shen Manting’s words. Elated, she said, “Whatever belongs to the child naturally belongs to you.”

Shen Manting laughed and said, “I can give the child to you after I have given birth. I can’t afford to bring a child up, in any case. However, what makes you so sure that this child of mine belongs to Shen Luo’an?”
