The fear of the future ultimately overcame the grief of Lu Zheng's death. Shen Yan couldn't imagine what it would be like to become a beggar, not even the same situation as that bitch Qiao Zhen. She didn't want to experience it.

"Uncle Lu, what do you intend to do?"

Lu Jianhua said, "Use the existing connections and resources of your Shen family to help me secure my position as president of the Lu Group. In return, I can leverage the power of the Lu Group to help you suppress the scandal and appease the public. In addition, to solidify the relationship between our two families, you and my youngest son will get engaged."

Shen Yan knew Lu Jianhua's youngest son, a typical spoiled rich kid who was not only uneducated but also involved in gambling, prostitution, and drugs.

She frowned in disgust. "There's no need for an engagement, is there? After what happened, our two families are naturally bound together by life and death."

Lu Jianhua shook his finger. "Since Miss Shen is unwilling, it seems that Lu's help is not needed. I'll be leaving then."

Shen Yan rolled her eyes dismissively.

She simply didn't believe that Lu Jianhua would run away just because he wasn't engaged.

As a result, Lu Jianhua resolutely turned around and walked towards the door.

Mrs. Shen was getting anxious. The slower the crisis at the Shen Group was resolved, the greater the losses would be. They couldn't afford to wait any longer.

"Wait a minute!" She glared at Chen Yan reproachfully and pinched her arm hard. "You child, how can you not appreciate the kindness of your elders? I think you really don't want the Shen family anymore!"

"Mom!" Shen Yan was full of grievances. Having had a perfect fiancé like Lu Zheng, she couldn't possibly be interested in anyone else.

Seeing that Shen Yan couldn't quite grasp the situation, Mrs. Shen readily agreed on her behalf, "Alright, our two families will get engaged!"

Lu Jianhua clapped his hands, "Mother-in-law, you are so wise."

Shen Yan pouted angrily, unable and unwilling to resist.

Congratulations to you all.

A chilling male voice drifted into the ward.

Shen Yan shuddered.

Lu Jianhua slowly turned his head in disbelief, and a pair of sinister eyes startled him so much that he almost fainted.

"Lu, Lu Zheng, you...you're not dead?!"
