When Old Lady Shen saw this, her eyebrows immediately raised.

"Why are you stopping me, you damn girl?"

Shen Jinzhi snorted coldly.

"Then what does grandma do with my things?"

“What’s yours?

This is Shen Ze’s dowry, so it’s naturally for our Shen family.

Aren’t you from our Shen family?

You won't live in our Shen family anymore?"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Shen held the bag in her hand even tighter, fearing that Shen Jinzhi would come and snatch it away.

“Since Chen Ze is marrying me, his dowry must also be given to me, and how to distribute it should be decided by me.

If grandma insists on keeping the dowry for herself, then I won't get married and I won't marry anyone. You can find someone yourself!"

Shen Jinzhi's face was full of seriousness, and anyone could tell that this was not a joke.

Being bullied by the money-losing guy whom she had always looked down upon, Old Lady Shen suddenly became angry and embarrassed.

But she was also afraid that Shen Jinzhi would really refuse to marry her.

After all, Shen Jinzhi has always been very fierce and can really do such a thing.

So at the moment, he could only take a step back reluctantly with a stiff face.

"It's impossible to give you all of it. After all, even if you get married, you will still live in the Shen family. We are all family, so these things should naturally be given to all of us.

So I just keep it for now, and we can use it together as a family."

Seeing Old Lady Shen's matter-of-fact look, Shen Jinzhi was so angry that she laughed.

“I said this is my property, and I have the final say on how to use it.

Has grandma forgotten the last time she wanted to sell me to my second uncle?

How dare you ask for my things so confidently now?

Or has Second Uncle already prepared the money to pay my family back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Shen felt guilty and didn't know how to refute.

But when she thought about giving all the good things in her arms to Shen Jinzhi, she felt extremely painful.

Seeing that her tough approach was not working, she decided to play the emotional card to soften the situation.

But Shen Jinzhi didn't give her a chance. She took advantage of the moment when Old Lady Shen was distracted and snatched away all the bags in her arms.

Then he went back to his room with his things without looking back.

When Old Mrs. Shen reacted, she screamed immediately.

"You damn girl, you stole my things, give them back now!"

For a while, there was a fierce quarrel in the Shen family yard.

But Lin Ran ignored them. She chased after Shen Ze as soon as he left.

No one else noticed, except Shi Yan.

Shi Yan felt sad when he saw Lin Ran following Chen Ze all the time.

He had already discovered that Ranran seemed to be a little unusual towards Chen Ze.

The last time I met Chen Ze, I kept staring at him.

Could it be that Ranran really likes Chen Ze?

Thinking of this, Shi Yan's resentful gaze was about to turn into reality and poke a hole in the back of Lin Ran's head.

He wanted to take her away immediately and prevent her from having contact with Chen Ze.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking.

In the end, he just followed Lin Ran silently without saying anything.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Ran would definitely be able to notice something unusual behind him.

But right now her mind was full of Shen Ze, and she had no intention of caring about anything else.

The three of them kept almost in a straight line, one following the other, and kept walking forward.

It was not until they reached the end of the group and could no longer see a single figure that Shen Ze suddenly turned around to look at Lin Ran and the others.

"Why do you keep following me?"

There was a look of vigilance in his eyes.

He knew Lin Ran, but not Shi Yan.

Seeing this, Lin Ran quickly explained:

"We have no ill intentions, I just want to ask you a question."

Have a question?

A flash of doubt flashed across Shen Ze's eyes, but for Shen Jinzhi's sake, he nodded.

"Tell me about it."

Lin Ran had been waiting for several days, feeling extremely anxious. Now that she saw him, she finally had the chance to ask. She immediately asked impatiently:

"I want to know where the jade pendant you gave to Sister Jinzhi came from."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ze's originally nonchalant expression suddenly became stern, and he looked at Lin Ran with a look full of vigilance.

He didn't expect that Shen Jinzhi would even tell Lin Ran about the jade pendant.

But he couldn't admit it.

With his current status, if someone were to catch him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So, he immediately pretended to be stupid.

"What jade pendant are you talking about?

Is it the one I picked up?"

Lin Ran was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she didn't believe what Shen Ze said.

"Didn't you tell Sister Jinzhi that it was your family's ancestral jade pendant? Are you lying to me?"

She stared closely at Shen Ze's eyes, trying to find any trace of lying in them.

But to her disappointment, there was no sign of abnormality on Shen Ze's face.

No matter how Lin Ran tried to inquire, Chen Ze refused to admit it.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

Lin Ran, who was in a panic, did not find the crux of the problem, but Shi Yan, as a bystander, understood Chen Ze's concerns.

He immediately spoke up to support.

“Comrade Shen, if you are worried that mentioning the jade pendant will bring you trouble, we can promise that we will not reveal a single word to the outside world.

And I heard that you have already given the jade pendant to the Shen family.

Then we won’t leak it.

Otherwise, wouldn't it harm the Shen family?"

Although he didn't know why Lin Ran was so obsessed with Chen Ze's jade pendant, he was actually relieved when he heard that Lin Ran came to Chen Ze just for the jade pendant.

But while relaxing, he suddenly remembered that the last time he saw Lin Ran lose his composure like this was when he found the skeleton at the bottom of the cliff.

Wait a moment……

Jade pendant?
