Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Shanlai felt like she was dreaming.

In the dream, there was a person who was arguing and quarreling with her.

But she seemed to be able to see the man only through a mist. The man's face was blurry and she couldn't see it clearly.

The scene changed, Lei smiled at her and waved at her, "Shanlai, come over here."

She walked over obediently, and someone held her hand and pulled her forward. Someone behind her was calling her name, desperately and hoarsely, "Are you really going to leave..."

The voice is so familiar.

"No, no, no." Shanlai suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up.

The class watching her nearby was frightened by her extreme behavior, and quickly stood up to look at her, then patted her on the back like coaxing a child, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shan Lai breathed a sigh of relief. The furnishings around her didn't seem to be her bedroom. Where was this?

Seeing what she was thinking, Lei explained to her, "You are allergic to mangoes, so..." He didn't finish his words, but Shanlai already understood what he meant.

At the banquet, she just felt that her consciousness became blurred for a moment, and then, nothing happened.

"Did you just have a nightmare?" Lei looked at her with a smile and a gentle tone, tempting her step by step to say what he wanted to know.

Thinking about the dream she just had, which wasn't really a nightmare, she shook her head gently.

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Lei's eyes sank for a moment, but soon returned to his usual gentle look.

He bent over and pulled her into his arms, "Be good, it's okay, have a good sleep."

Shan Lai nodded slightly, reached out and hugged him, still a little confused in her heart, what did the dream just now mean?

Holding the girl in his arms and gently patting her back, an ambiguous emotion flashed in his eyes and the smile on the corners of his mouth grew bigger and bigger.

My girl, you won’t remember me, because you can only be my girl.

This was something he had asked for himself and paid a huge price for, so of course he would cherish it.

He coaxed her like a child, and Shanlai fell asleep again without realizing it.

Gently put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Holding her hand, I just looked at her quietly.

At this moment, she was his.

……

Deng and Ruilin got up early and sat at the dining table, eating breakfast while reading today's financial news.

Song Chi had just come down from upstairs and sat next to him.

"Good morning, Mom." He said this, but he didn't look up at her. He didn't seem to be in a good mood.

On the contrary, Song Chi was in a good mood.

She looked at her son, who was handsome, rich, had a good personality, and had first-rate business skills. If Jing could be with him, it wouldn't be unfair to the girl.

Even though she had only met the little girl, Fujita Shizuka, last night, she still liked her very much.

She is sensible and well-mannered, and is the perfect candidate to be a good daughter-in-law for a wealthy family.

Suddenly thinking about what happened to Shan Lai last night, Song Chi felt annoyed again.

It shouldn't have happened earlier or later, but it happened at her party. I don't know what Shan Lai was planning, or if he had any other thoughts.

She began to complain, "Last night, that Shan Lai was really something. Why did he disrupt my party?" She was so angry when she thought about this. Because of this incident, she couldn't sleep well the whole night.

Who knows, the other noble ladies might be laughing at her in private, and she can't even host a banquet properly.

Listening to his mother's nagging, Deng Heruilin put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at his mother seriously, "Mom, Shanlai didn't do it on purpose last night. She accidentally ate the cake made with mango."

He just stared at his mother. Song Chi was a little afraid of his son's gaze, so he turned his head away, took a glass of milk and drank it without looking at him.

"Dad told you the night before the banquet that Shanlai can't eat mangoes because she is allergic to them, and asked you not to prepare any food related to mangoes." Deng Heruilin continued.

Song Chi paused for a moment while holding the milk, then picked it up and took a sip as if nothing had happened. "It was her own fault. She just ate a piece of mango. It's not a big deal." She didn't think she did anything wrong.

"Besides, we can't let her ruin the banquet experience. If she doesn't eat, does that mean others are not allowed to eat?" After saying that, she smiled smugly.

"Mom, you know that severe allergies can be fatal, right?" Deng Heruilin looked at his mother angrily. He was angry.

Song Chi still looked indifferent, "I heard that he only ate a little bit by mistake, and the amount was not heavy." As he said that, he ate a piece of mango mille-feuille that the servant next to him had just brought.

Looking at his mother, Deng Heruilin felt that she was a little unreasonable. If he wanted something, he should just go and get it himself. There was no need to resort to such underhanded means.

"How outrageous." Deng Heyao's voice came from not far away.

Song Chi was startled and quickly put down what he was holding, stood up and looked at him, "Ayao, when did you come down?" Then he lowered his head guiltily.

Deng Heyao walked to the side of Song Chi and raised his hand. Song Chi looked at him in disbelief. Was he going to hit her?

They have been married for twenty-five years. Does he want to do that to her just for an outsider?

"Ayao, what are you doing?" Song Chi persisted.

Deng Heyao put down his raised hand in anger, "Song Chi, Song Chi, half of your life has passed, why haven't you made any progress?"

Song Chi stammered and was unable to utter a word. He lowered his head and said nothing more.

"She is the eldest daughter of the Deng He family and the only legal heir. Even if you have any ulterior motives, you should not target her!" Deng Heyao said this almost with gritted teeth.

Deng Heyao was so angry at his wife's behavior that he could hardly speak. "Last night, Shanlai accidentally ate mango-flavored pastries, and you said it was the pastry chef at home who made it accidentally. The pastry chef came out to take the blame for you."

"I really didn't expect that you not only asked the pastry chef to make mango-flavored pastries, but also mixed mango-flavored pastries with other pastries. What are you doing?"

"Do you want our entire second house to be buried with you for what you did?" Deng Heyao almost yelled.

Song Chi was completely stunned. She didn't think too much about it.

She just felt that if something happened to Deng and Shanlai, or if they really died, they were the second branch, ranking after the eldest branch.

Her son still has the opportunity to take the helm of the Deng He family.

As for what Deng Heyao said, that she wanted the entire second house to be buried with her for what she had done, she had never thought about it.

She immediately looked at Deng Heyao with tears in her eyes, and reached out to hold him, "Ah Yao, I was wrong, Ah Yao, I didn't mean that, please believe me, please believe me."
