In the living room filled with a subtle atmosphere, Ren Wan and Shen Song looked at each other, and then Ren Wan gently winked at Shen Song.

This look contained the tacit understanding and decision they had discussed in advance, as if it was the opening signal of a well-choreographed drama.

Shen Song received the signal, hesitated for a moment, coughed lightly, broke the originally dull silence, and slowly spoke:

"Xiao Li, you are old enough now, and it's time for you to take care of your own personal affairs."

He tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, but behind this deliberate gentleness, there was an unquestionable toughness.

Shen Qingli was so sharp that he immediately grasped the deep meaning behind these words. A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips involuntarily, which was full of sarcasm and insight.

"So you are planning to arrange a marriage for me?" Her tone was calm, yet it was like a turbulent whirlpool hidden on the surface of a tranquil lake.

The fact that Shen Qingli and Zhou Yanchen had obtained their marriage certificate was like a deeply buried secret, and the Shen family knew nothing about it.

At this time, Ren Wan still had that seemingly friendly and gentle smile on her face, and spoke softly:

"Xiao Li, you've been out for a few years now, it's time to think about your personal life. After all, a woman's youth only lasts a few years."

Her words were like sugar-coated bullets, seemingly caring but actually pressing.

When Shen Qingli heard this, his heart went cold, and his eyes instantly turned cold, like stars in the cold night, emitting cold light.

"Really? Do you know which company you picked for me? What benefits did they offer you?"

Her question was sharp and direct, like a sharp blade, mercilessly piercing through the veil of gentleness that Ren Wan pretended to have in her words.

When Shen Song heard such straightforward and questioning words, his face suddenly turned livid, as if an embarrassing scar had been exposed in public, and he angrily shouted:

"What the hell are you talking about, you idiot? We've been thinking about you, and this is how you repay us?"

His body trembled slightly, showing his extreme inner excitement.

Shen Qingli snorted coldly in her heart. As for Shen Song's so-called "consideration", she had a clear judgment in her mind.

In this family, the weighing of interests always comes before everything else. How could they consider her lifelong affairs for no reason?

Presumably, the other party must have offered extremely tempting conditions, which would make them so eager to promote this marriage.

Shen Qingli's gaze slowly turned to Shen Weiwei, with a hint of playfulness and provocation in his eyes.

"For such a good thing, you should stick to my good sister first, right?"

When Shen Weiwei heard this, her face turned pale instantly, as if all the blood had been drained away, and fear and anger were intertwined in her heart.

There is no way she could marry a disabled person.

Before she could speak, Ren Wan said, "Xiao Li, your sister is still young. She just turned ten and still has to go to school."

Shen Qingli raised the corners of his lips, a faint smile emerged, but it revealed endless alienation and sarcasm.

She whispered, "Did you know that getting married in college can earn you extra credits?

That way my younger sister will be able to graduate more smoothly. I will definitely let my younger sister have this opportunity."

Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

When Shen Song heard this, his eyes widened and his face flushed red. His emotions were like a volcanic eruption.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister has to focus on her studies now and will have to take the postgraduate entrance examination. She doesn't have time.

And you are the same, you don’t even have a wife now, who are you going to marry?”

His voice echoed in the room, with an unquestionable tone of command, as if reading a verdict of disobedience.

Shen Weiwei, who was standing nearby, was secretly delighted when she heard her father defending her like this. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, but that smug smile seemed somewhat natural despite being tried hard to conceal it.

She glanced at Shen Qingli secretly, her eyes full of happiness and joy.

Shen Qingli watched all this coldly, with mixed feelings in her heart. Her gaze was like an icy blade, stabbing straight at the man who once gave her fatherly love.

"What if I get married? What do you want to do to me?"

Her tone was calm, but it revealed a firmness that was resistant to attack, like a lighthouse standing firm in the darkness, stubbornly emitting her own light.

Shen Song was enraged by this blatant defiance and slapped his thigh hard. The sound seemed to be a vent for his anger.

"Shen Qingli, you have to marry, you have to marry, it's up to you."

There was determination and dominance in his eyes, as if he wanted to use his authority to suppress Shen Qingli's resistance.

Shen Qingli sneered, his smile full of disdain and ridicule for this outdated concept.

"Haha, do you think this is still the old society? Where marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers?

No matter who it is, I will marry her. "

After saying this, she stood up straight with a resolute look and walked out.

Her steps were firm, and every step seemed to declare war on this reasonable arrangement.

Ren Wan was extremely anxious when she saw this, like an ant on a hot pot.

In her mind, if Shen Qingli gets married, all her elaborate plans will come to naught.

The future of Shen Yu Group is worrying, and her and Wei Wei's future luxurious life will also be shaky.

She pushed Shen Song anxiously, her eyes full of suggestion and urging, signaling him to stop Shen Qingli.

Shen Song immediately raised his voice and shouted to the housekeeper and servants, "Bring the young lady to me."

Shen Qingli had a keen sense of hearing and instantly caught these harsh words.

She was startled, and immediately felt a strong desire to resist. Without any hesitation, she quickened her pace and ran towards the door like an arrow.

There was determination and resentment in her eyes. She never expected that in this seemingly civilized modern society, her father would take such tough and brutal measures to try to control her.

Shen Qingli ran out of the yard smoothly after running all the way, and immediately caught a glimpse of his car parked on the side of the road.

That seemed to be her only hope to escape from this turbulent predicament at the moment.

She was extremely anxious, yet she remained calm. She approached the car as quickly as possible, opened the door nimbly, got in quickly, and locked it. The whole process was done in one go without any delay.

Then, she started the engine skillfully, and the car instantly emitted a low roar, as if roaring at her resistance.

When the housekeeper and the servants saw that Shen Qingli had already got into the car, they reacted quickly, fanning out and surrounding her car tightly.

Their expressions were different, some were a little hesitant, and some were full of determination, as if to tell Shen Qingli that they would not let her leave easily.

Shen Qingli sat in the car, looking through the window at the faces around him, some familiar and some unfamiliar, with a mixed feeling in his heart.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but a thought flashed through her mind:

Did they assume she would do something crazy like bumping into someone?

They really should have pressed her so hard and pushed her into this desperate situation.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her finger joints turning slightly white from use, the anger in her heart burning continuously.

She secretly warned herself not to push her too far, otherwise, everyone would be doomed and no one would have an easy life.

After a brief stalemate, Shen Qingli bit his tongue, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

She stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car rushed forward like an enraged beast.

The wheels rubbed against the ground violently, making a piercing scream, as if it was the cry of her inner anger.

Sure enough, as the car got closer to the people who were blocking the way, the resoluteness on their faces began to crumble as fear took over.

The person standing in front turned pale instantly, and his body reacted instinctively, quickly dodging to the side.

Shen Qingli looked coldly at the ferocious figures of those people in the rearview mirror, his eyes were as cold as ice and piercing.

At this moment, the only warmth she had left in her heart for this family completely dissipated.

Since they were so determined, she didn't need to linger on any longer.

She was thinking silently in her mind that the plan to go abroad must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
