The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 554: I want to meet Yan Shanchuan

"Mm!" Zhan Zhengtong nodded, "Now I have a son, a grandson, and a granddaughter. Their family’s life is so happy, how could I drag them down?"

After a while, Yan Shanchuan said, "Are they really living that happily?"

"Mm! Happier than anyone else!" Zhan Zhengtong had a hint of pride on her face, "Although my son didn’t grow up by my side, he has the ability to bring happiness to himself and those around him. That’s something to be very proud of. Originally, I was thinking about whether to give the Yan Family to him as compensation. Unfortunately, my son doesn’t need it, he’s already found a greater happiness, and he doesn’t need the Yan Family at all. I don’t know if you’ve heard the news from the outside, but he has officially joined my daughter-in-law’s clan and become part of the Hidden World Mu family. He won’t have anything to do with your Yan Family anymore."

She thought he might feel a little sad when she said that, but Yan Shanchuan remained calm, "It’s fine if he doesn’t, as long as he’s happy."

"You don’t resent him?" Zhan Zhengtong raised her eyebrow, "After all, he was the one who sent you in here."

"When I sent him away back then, I had already anticipated a day like this, although I didn’t expect it to come so soon. He’s really so outstanding! He didn’t use any underhanded means to get back at me; he openly put me here. He was well-educated, and I take comfort in that."

Zhan Zhengtong was silent for a moment, "Back then, you deliberately sent him away, didn’t you?"

Yan Shanchuan didn’t speak.

"I think, it must be, right? Although everyone says you married me for the Zhan Family, I don’t believe it. I always believed you married me because you loved me. If you really wanted the Zhan Family, with your skills, it would have been easy to coax information about the Zhan Family from me. But you never did. Even though I have a bad temper and am both spoiled and willful, acting up sometimes, you doted on me for over twenty years; there’s no way you could have been acting that whole time. You were with Lady Dongfang because she forced you, right?"

"She said if I didn’t stay with her, she would kill you." After a long silence, Yan Shanchuan said.

Zhan Zhengtong sighed, "I knew it would be like this. She already admitted to me that when she came back to find you, you were preparing to marry me. She told you she was a Cultivator, and if you didn’t stay with her, she would kill me. Since she was a Cultivator and couldn’t marry you, she chose to be your mistress. At first, I couldn’t understand. If you married me because you loved me, why would you switch my son? Later, after much thinking, I realized—if you didn’t switch her son with mine, then my son would live his whole life under her control. So, you had to send him away, let him start a new life with a new identity so she couldn’t control him anymore..."

"You knew all along?" Yan Shanchuan was a bit surprised to hear her words.

He thought no one would ever understand the decision he made back then.

He was just an ordinary person, while Lady Dongfang was a Cultivator; the gap between them was enormous.

And with both women having children at the same time, if Jiang Nuo stayed with the Yan Family and Lady Dongfang’s own son was only a bastard, no matter how good a life she could provide for that son, who could say he wouldn’t be jealous of Jiang Nuo?

One day, with a Cultivator mother, would that child not act against Jiang Nuo?

And Lady Dongfang, for control or some other purpose, could use Jiang Nuo?

His own life was likely hopeless, and he didn’t want his child to live under someone else’s "control," so he harshly proposed the idea of "swapping" the children. He tempted Lady Dongfang with everything the Yan Family could offer, suggesting that her son could become the Young Master of the Yan Family, enjoying wealth and glory while still engaging in Cultivation. Wouldn’t that be better?

Lady Dongfang was evidently more ruthless than he imagined, unwilling to spare even an infant, as she intended to kill the baby Jiang Nuo.

This made Yan Shanchuan even more determined in his thinking—even if this child might end up a beggar, he couldn’t let him live under someone else’s control.

He pretended to agree but secretly arranged for someone to send the child away. He didn’t even know where the child ended up, having changed hands several times, and no one could find him.

Of course, that was his original thought, but later...

Power and ambition clouded his vision, making him desire to take the Yan Family further, gaining more control and authority. He gradually forgot his initial thoughts and began to disdain Zhengtong’s mediocrity and willfulness, though he had to suppress this and continue to "pamper" her as promised.

"I went to a miraculous place where there wasn’t a single person. I spent a year there reflecting on many things. At first, I hated you. I hated that you betrayed our love and sent my son away. But now, I can’t help but feel grateful that you did send him away. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have grown into the person he is today. Perhaps, he might have just become another Yan Hao. You should feel gratified too. Although your son doesn’t acknowledge you or the Yan Family, your decision truly raised an outstanding son. You even have a pair of adorable grandchildren... If you ever have the chance to leave, you must go and see them. They are the cutest kids in the world, truly incomparable."

Zhan Zhengtong went on to speak more about the two cute grandchildren and plans for the future.

In the future, she wouldn’t live with the children. She might stay with the Zhan Family or move out to live alone, but it didn’t matter. She planned to engage in more charity work to bring blessings to her children.

She didn’t wish for her children to be misled and end up like Lady Dongfang or Yan Hao. She only hoped they would be blessed and live happier lives.

"It seems you’ve really come to terms with it."

"My son and daughter-in-law are so happy, I have to come to terms with it; I can’t hold them back. Oh, by the way, I came today to tell you something. I’m not sure if it will make you happy or sad—the Lady Dongfang who forced you has died."

"Dead?!" Yan Shanchuan seemed incredulous. That woman was so formidable and a Cultivator, how could she...

"Yan Shanchuan, it seems you’ve forgotten something. In this world, she’s not the only Cultivator. She’s done so many wrong deeds, naturally, someone would deal with her."

"So, she’s dead..." Yan Shanchuan suddenly felt bewildered, and he didn’t know whether to feel relieved or sad. That woman who had entangled him for over twenty years—is she dead?

After his family was torn apart, she died?
