The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 304

Mr. Shen sighed when he saw that Mango was still unwilling to tell the truth. "Do you like Nathaniel that much? Are you willing to sacrifice both the happiness of you and your children?"

"No dad, I'm not facing any problems with the Ye Family. What on Earth have you heard?"

Mango felt like this misunderstanding was quite serious indeed.

Just by looking at Nathaniel's disregard for his own life in order to save her, there was no way that she would be living unhappily with the Ye Family.

However, Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "Don't lie to me. Although I'm old, I'm not blind. Look at both you and Zion's swollen faces! I won't believe it when you tell me nothing's wrong! How dare the Ye Family hit you both? They've crossed the line! Since you have ties to the Hans Family, I'm willing to seek them out for help in this matter. Let's see if they'll get involved when their daughter's been abused!"

Mango finally understood what Mr. Shen had meant.

Then, she smiled and said, "Dad, you're clearly mistaken. The Ye Family has nothing to do with the state of our faces."

Then, she told him everything about Edolie.

After hearing this, Mr. Shen was very surprised.

"How could such an ungrateful person exist? You saved her back at the base, but not only did she not appreciate your actions, she even dared to extort you? What kind of person is this?"

At that moment, Mr. Shen was livid.

Hence, Mango had to console him when she saw that he was angry. "All right dad, it's all in the past. Nathan's already sent her away from Ocean City, and she'll never bother us again. Furthermore, do you think that your grandson is that docile? He allowed Edolieto hit him because he had a hidden agenda."

"What are you talking about? Zion is just a child, so how could he resist an adult? All of you are at fault too for being unable to look after a child, you know. You let him be bullied to this extent, just look how badly my grandson's face has been beaten."

Mr. Shen's voice was tinged with great distress as if his grandson was the most important person in his eyes.

It was common knowledge that grandparents were extra loving towards their grandchildren, so Mango understood his sentiments. However, she was very happy with this development.

"Okay dad, it's over now. Zion and I are fine, and we have a happy life with the Ye Family so don't worry. Right now, I'll be at ease if you and mom can take care of yourselves."

Mango patted Mr. Shen's back as she spoke.

Then, Mr. Shen looked at Mango with a relieved expression as he said, "You still have to respect the Hans Family, Mango. No matter how you look at it, your mother and I were dumb enough to cancel your identity and we made you stateless. This issue has been weighing very heavily on both of us, and we're both very sorry about that."

"Dad, this had nothing to do with you. Furthermore, both of you were clueless about this and you were manipulated."

In fact, Mango was still quite uncomfortable when the subject was brought up.

Although she and Abyss had been together for five years, she never imagined that things would end up this way. Previously, she always thought that both of them could still be friends if they couldn't be lovers, but she never thought that even friendship was out of the question.

There were many things that couldn't be salvaged once the damage was done. Moreover, Abyss had repeatedly hurt the ones Mango loved, so she couldn't just ignore whatever he did.

Nevertheless, Mr. Shen still blamed himself.

"You can put it that way, but ultimately it was your mother and I's fault. If the Hans Family can give you the Hans family name in the future, then your mother and I won't object to it."

Although he said this, Mango could tell that Mr. Shen was in a poor mood.

Then, Mango smiled and said, "Dad, I told you that I'll forever be your daughter. My name is Mango Shen, and the Hans Family have agreed to respect my wishes."

"The Hans Family has really put us to shame then."

"That's enough dad, don't take it to heart. I'll be fine only if you and mom are well, alright?."

Mango continued comforting Mr. Shen for a while before they returned to the ward.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Shen's condition had improved very quickly due to Zion's presence and she even wanted to be discharged that very afternoon.

Then, Mango inquired about it to the doctor and she went to handle the discharge procedures after the doctor agreed.

After Mrs. Shen returned home, she began cooking delicious food for Zion.

Zion felt rather overwhelmed by his grandmother's enthusiasm and he smiled at Mango as he said, "Do you think I'll gain weight?"

"You'll still be cute even if you gained weight."

Mango pinched Zion's cheeks as she replied.

Hence, Zion could only smile helplessly at her.

Mango decided to have Zion accompany her mother temporarily as she was concerned that the hospital would be full of germs. Furthermore, Zion had become Mrs. Shen's favourite grandchild, so Mrs. Shen would be in a good mood if he stayed with her.

Naturally, Zion had no objections to his mother's arrangements, so he called to inform Madam Ye and Rita about this.

After that, Mango returned to the hospital after she stayed at home for a while longer.

By then, Nathaniel had already awoken and he became worried when he realized that Mango had disappeared. Relief washed over him when he found out that she'd gone to the Shen Family's house, but he still asked Thomas to wait outside the house for her.

Then, Mango spotted Thomas when she left the house.

"What are you doing here?"

"Madam, Mr. Ye had me wait here to pick you up."

Thomas smiled as he spoke. It was clear to him how well Nathaniel treated Mango, and Nathaniel was willing to do anything for her.

Although Mango did not say anything, the corners of her mouth were slightly quirked up in a smile.

"Has he stopped being annoyed?"

"Mr. Ye has always been like this. Aren't you familiar with his antics after you've been together for so long? Don't hold it against him."

Thomas's words lifted Mango's spirits.

"He needs to change his penchant for getting annoyed so easily."

"Of course, Madam. You have to do your best because no one else can change him except for you."

Right now, Thomas seemed to have quite the silver tongue.

Thus, Mango was in a great mood all the way back to the hospital. When she returned, Nathaniel was with Rita as Madam Ye had rushed back to deal with some things at their company.

Rita was exceptionally glad to see her mother.
