After Rebirth, I Inherited My Ex-Husband's Hundred Billion Inheritance

In my past life, I, the wealthy daughter, was a stepping stone for Fu Yanshen, who came from a bodyguard background and transcended social classes.

I was a tool to highlight his deep affectio...

Chapter 268 The Princess and the Knight (Proposal)

The person who fell down the stairs was indeed Song Sinan's fiancée, Ning Xi.

She lay on her back, her white fishtail dress stained with bright red blood. The contrast between red and white was glaring and striking. My intuition told me that she was experiencing symptoms of a miscarriage.

The person who pushed her down the stairs was surrounded by a crowd.

Through the gaps in the crowd, the girl's face was deathly pale; she looked dazed and bewildered.

She is Su Yu.

I was slightly taken aback.

Su Yu pushed Song Sinan's fiancée downstairs?

I remember she was the pianist at tonight's banquet, wearing a black strapless feather dress, sitting elegantly at the white grand piano on the first floor.

Her mother even specially asked her to play "Für Elise," praising her for her pure and beautiful appearance and elegant demeanor.

...

I don't know who called the police, but they arrived even faster than an ambulance.

They first consulted Song Sinan.

Song Sinan carried Ning Xi in his arms and looked up at the building.

He was too far away to see his expression clearly, but he seemed as calm and composed as ever.

“She is a suspect, Su Yu. Please handle this officially.”

With that, he strode away, carrying Ning Xi in his arms.

The crowd gasped in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, this matter alarmed the police. Su Yu was, after all, a member of the Song family, yet Song Sinan handed her over to the police for processing.

However, this also shows the importance of his fiancée Ning Xi in his heart.

He did this to give his fiancée and the Ning family an explanation.

...

Su Yu's slender, fair wrists were clad in silver handcuffs that gleamed coldly. She kept her head down, making her expression unreadable.

Only the delicate shoulder blades trembling on her back seemed to reveal her fear and helplessness.

The guests pointed and whispered among themselves.

It's hard to understand why the niece pushed her aunt downstairs.

Some say it's because of jealousy. Su Yu grew up with Song Sinan, and it's possible that she developed some kind of distorted love for him, and even tried to usurp his place.

The Song family was a renowned family of Confucian merchants, and these rumors quickly died down.

The incident passed like a brief interlude, and the guests continued with the dinner proceedings.

My intuition was right. Xu Xun said that Ning Xi was pregnant.

The bleeding is very heavy; this pregnancy is likely to be very dangerous.

Thinking about Song Sinan and Su Yu's immoral behavior, and then this incident tonight, I can't help but sigh.

I had no time to care about them; I kept checking my phone.

Fu Yanshen hasn't replied to my messages, and I'm worried that my dad will make things too difficult for him or suppress him.

Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

I vaguely heard someone say, "Fu Yanshen is here." I immediately got up, lifted my skirt, and hurried towards the stairwell, quickly descending the stairs.

As I looked up, a deep and handsome face came into my view, my heart pounded, and I stood there stunned.

Under the giant crystal chandelier, Fu Yanshen stood tall and straight in a sharp suit, exuding a cool and noble air. His deep black eyes gazed up at me from afar, a smile playing on his lips.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he held up a reddish-brown notebook, looking smug at me.

He was never one to be flamboyant or showy, but seeing the flush on his cheeks, I knew his father had gotten him drunk.

I quickly continued downstairs and ran towards him.

...

Fu Yanshen stared in disbelief at the red figure rushing towards him.

Her figure gradually overlapped with the red figure he had seen when they first met.

She wore a bright red dress, her ponytail swaying, and her stunningly beautiful face. She walked up to him, tilted her head, and looked at him with a smile.

"Xiao Fu, will you protect me tonight?"

For the first time, his lifeless and gloomy heart began to pound uncontrollably. He could barely remain calm and almost said, "I'm fine."

Before my eyes, the real her has shed the arrogance and willfulness of her youth, and gained a touch of elegance and poise.

...

In front of everyone, Fu Yanshen knelt down on one knee reverently, holding a red velvet jewelry box in his hand.

I held my breath as I watched this scene unfold.

I never expected Fu Yanshen to do this in front of so many people. I thought that even if there was a proposal, he would only do it in an atmosphere where it was just the two of us.

He is a low-key and reserved person.

The velvet box was opened, and the enormous, priceless blue diamond refracted a dazzling, sparkling light, captivating all who saw it.

It wasn't the previous one, and I don't know when he secretly prepared it. Judging from the shape and design style, I'm sure it's my mother's work.

The moment I looked up, our eyes met.

In the man's deep, dark eyes, the Milky Way burned brightly.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and in a deep, magnetic voice, he said, "Princess Jojo, I long to be your knight, forever loyal and forever protective. Will you give me this chance?"

Princess, knight.

Loyalty, protection.

In an instant, tears welled up in my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. My throat tightened, and I couldn't make a sound. I could only nod repeatedly.

I do!

Fu Yanshen stood up and slipped the heavy diamond ring onto my left ring finger. He held my hand and stared at it for a long, long time... until thunderous applause erupted in the banquet hall.

With tears welling in my eyes, I kissed him in front of everyone.

The kiss was long and lingering...

When I let go, I saw my mother standing to the side, her face full of loving smiles, wiping away tears.

I smiled at her too, and hot tears kept rolling down my cheeks.

...

I helped the tipsy Fu Yanshen out of the banquet hall, eager to return to our love nest.

But at the door, they encountered the Sheng family patriarch and Sheng's father, who had kind faces.

Please lead us to a side hall.

“Qiaoqiao, we still want to persuade Yan Shen to return to the Sheng family and acknowledge his ancestors. Everyone has roots. Please help your father and grandfather persuade him.” Sheng Minghui spoke gently to me with a kind face.
