Flash Marriage With Mr. Sheffield: Go Away, Cheap Man!-Chapter 203: The Thoughts of Mr. and Mrs. Langley

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Thoughts of Mr. and Mrs. Langley

Clara smiled gracefully and slowly put down the watermelon in her hand.

"No, there are plenty of women who want to marry Silas. Silas has never cared about them. If I got angry about this, how could I be the lady of the Sheffield Group?"

With these words, Clara subtly hinted that Shannon Langley was just like those women who wanted to marry Silas Sheffield, who never gave them a thought. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

She also made it clear that she was the wife of the CEO of the Sheffield Group, distancing herself from the Langley Family, and emphasizing that Silas Sheffield already had a wife, dashing their hopes.

Mr. and Mrs. Langley’s expressions were not pleasant.

Everyone could see their thoughts, even a blind person.

Mrs. Langley smiled on the surface, "Just don’t take it to heart."

Inwardly, she had already harshly cursed Clara Sterling.

Hmph, what lady of the CEO?

Aren’t you just a sparrow that flew up to become a phoenix by clinging to something higher?

Don’t think I don’t know your family’s situation.

A girl from a small, obscure county, not much different from us rural folks.

If you can marry Silas Sheffield, why can’t Shannon?

There are so many who marry and then divorce, what’s there to brag about?

It’s true that you’re Silas Sheffield’s wife today, but who knows about tomorrow?

Although Mrs. Langley didn’t say anything further, she hadn’t given up on the idea of matchmaking Shannon with Silas.

The Sheffield Family, a top-notch wealthy family, are people they could never contact in a lifetime as ordinary folks.

If it weren’t for that incident back then, they wouldn’t have had any connection with Silas Sheffield at all.

They finally caught such an opportunity to connect with the Sheffield Family; how could they easily let it go?

Until Shannon Langley turned eighteen, the Sheffield Family would pay them a sum of money every month.

This money was for raising Shannon Langley and supporting Shannon’s grandmother.

The Sheffield Family would give them $100,000 every month, far exceeding the consumption level in the countryside.

Besides the necessary living expenditures, there was a lot left over, which they could freely use, allowing them to live comfortably over the years.

After that incident, the Sheffield Family compensated Shannon’s grandmother with a large amount of money.

They originally took in Shannon for this compensation.

They thought that after Shannon’s grandmother passed away, the money would be theirs.

But who knew that Shannon’s grandmother was so guarded? Though they lived together for five years, she never gave them the bank card’s password.

She didn’t reveal it even on her deathbed.

Before she died, Shannon’s grandmother gave the card to Shannon and repeatedly reminded her to manage the money well, allowing her to spend some on her foster parents if necessary, but never to hand over all the money.

Shannon listened to her grandmother.

After coming of age, she used the money to buy a house and a car in Valeria and settled in the city, occasionally visiting her hometown.

She treated her adoptive parents well, renovating the old house in the countryside, buying them furniture, and sending them a monthly living allowance.

But Mr. and Mrs. Langley were never satisfied.

After living in the countryside for so long, they began to yearn for city life.

When Shannon returned to her hometown this time, they kept pushing her to buy them a house in the city.

If they had spent the living expenses given by the Sheffield Family sparingly over the years, they could have bought a house in the city by now.

But because this money came unearned, the couple never felt the hardship of earning it.

For years, the two of them did not work, living off the money from the Sheffield Family, spending extravagantly on food, clothing, and everything else.

The woman bought brand-name bags, clothes, skincare products, and cosmetics, refused to work or farm, and spent her days playing mahjong in the town’s teahouse.

The man bought a fairly decent car and used the Sheffield’s money to tip female streamers online, acting like a big shot.

This kind of lifestyle left them with no savings after all these years.

After Shannon reached adulthood, the Sheffield Family opened a separate account for her, continuing to provide her living expenses each month.

However, these funds now bypassed them and went directly to Shannon, leaving them with nothing, relying solely on what Shannon sent them each month.

Shannon only sent a few thousand back each month, far less than what the Sheffield Family used to send.

It’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go back to frugal after extravagance.

After getting used to living a carefree extravagant life, a few thousand a month wasn’t enough.

Now that Silas returned, they hoped Shannon would take the opportunity to develop a relationship with him, and ideally split Silas and Clara, elevating herself.

This way, they’d become Silas’s in-laws, enjoying endless wealth and power, and could continue their lavish lifestyle.

...

Shannon Langley walked into the kitchen, took out a sachet embroidered with a little bunny from her pocket, and went straight to Silas Sheffield.

"Brother Silas, there are lots of mosquitoes in the countryside in summer. I embroidered an anti-mosquito sachet for you. If you carry it with you, you won’t have to worry about mosquito bites."

As she spoke, she tried to shove the sachet into Silas Sheffield’s hand.

But Silas didn’t accept it.

Wearing an apron while washing vegetables, his expression was indifferent, "No need, we have mosquito repellent at home, and it works well."

Shannon Langley pouted, "You can’t carry mosquito spray around with you. This sachet is much more convenient."

"Thank you for your kindness," Silas replied calmly, "but I don’t need it."

Shannon bit her lower lip and said, coquettishly, "Won’t you please accept it? I stitched it for you by hand."

The uncle who was chopping vegetables nearby heard her coquettish tone and, despite being straightforward, noticed Shannon’s intentions towards Silas.

"Shannon, Silas appreciates your thoughtfulness, but it’s quite inappropriate. Silas is married now and shouldn’t casually accept gifts from young ladies like a sachet."

The uncle spoke softly, jokingly, "In the old days, a sachet like this was a token of love. It’s not something you just accept."

"Uncle, you’ve misunderstood, I didn’t mean anything else. I’m just worried about Brother Silas getting bitten by mosquitoes..."

Clara Sterling walked into the kitchen just in time to see this scene.
