Many people here have never seen Lin Wanxing before, so it's normal for them to be curious about her.

Many people in Jiangcheng probably don't know what the young master of the Lin family looks like.

The Lin family disappeared completely more than ten years ago. All the Lin family members voluntarily withdrew from Jiangcheng and left, leaving Lin Wanxing all alone here.

"Huai'an, you are really lucky to have married such a beautiful girl."

Some people joked that Shen Huai'an was different now than before, and everyone praised him without exception.

No one will be sarcastic or cynical anymore.

Shen Huai'an has the final say on many important and minor matters in the Shen Group, so offending him would be a very unwise move.

Lin Wanxing stayed close to Shen Huai'an, following him cautiously as if she were afraid of getting lost.

"This kid seems a bit introverted!" After talking for a while, the silly guy didn't say a word.

"He's introverted and afraid of strangers. That's normal for kids, so elders shouldn't worry about it too much," Shen Huai'an explained with a smile.

The newlyweds didn't take any vows or go through any complicated procedures. After toasting everyone, Shen Huai'an led Lin Wanxing back to the ceremony stage.

The falling petals, accompanied by the melodious sound of a violin, filled the entire venue with various kinds of roses.

The couple looked especially well-matched under the lights.

Lin Wanxing's gaze was drawn to the small cakes and cookies in the distance.

The dishes on the table below looked so tempting, yet he hadn't eaten a single grain of rice.

At that moment, he saw a bunch of delicious food. He was so hungry that he felt lightheaded.

Shen Huai'an, who was standing next to him, kept rambling on in front of everyone about how he had gotten through the past few years and how lucky he was to have met Lin Wanxing.

Shen Huai'an's gentle eyes swept over the people sitting below. His gaze finally settled on the old lady, and he smiled and said, "The person I should thank the most for getting to where Xingxing and I are today is my grandmother. If it weren't for her, Xingxing and I would probably have broken off our engagement long ago. I also want to thank my grandmother for taking care of me all these years, which has allowed me to get to where I am today."

This was quite ironic, and the old lady listened to Shen Huai'an's words with wide eyes.

Back then, one was a cripple and the other was a down-on-his-luck, foolish young master. In the eyes of everyone in Jiangcheng, this couple was a joke.

They were convinced that Shen Huai'an would never recover in his life, but unexpectedly, Shen Taimin was suddenly expelled from the Shen family.

Before anyone could react, Shen Taimin had completely disappeared from Jiangcheng.

However, some people have speculated that Shim Tae-min has been embezzling public funds and falsifying financial records over the years, which is why he was expelled from the Shim family.

These things don't sound quite true. To expel a once-promising heir from the Shen family over something so trivial seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

But no one knows the inside story. In any case, Shen Taimin must have done something unforgivable, otherwise, according to the Shen family's rules, he shouldn't have been expelled so severely.

Lin Wanxing had no interest in listening to what his second brother was saying; he just wanted to go downstairs and eat.

Finally, after finishing their conversation, Lin Wanxing went to stay by his second brother's side. He was wearing a white suit and looked like a little prince, exuding nobility, and stood obediently next to Shen Er.

Lin Wanxing's mind was still preoccupied with the unfamiliar text message and the "gift" the person had given her earlier that day.

Lin Wanxing suddenly remembered her second brother's strange behavior when she went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor with Qin Zhihao last time.

The old Chinese medicine doctor said that my second brother's leg would get better; he was absolutely certain that my second brother's leg would recover.

Did the traditional Chinese medicine doctor discover something back then?

More than one person has told Fang Ze that his affairs are related to his second brother, and even Fang Yu is convinced that it is related to his second brother.

What on earth is going on?

Lin Wanxing still had all sorts of suspicions in her mind as she looked at her second brother's limping figure.

It wasn't that he didn't trust his second brother, but rather that the coincidences seemed too much.

My second brother's leg hasn't healed for so many years, so why did the traditional Chinese medicine doctor determine that it would heal after just one look?

That traditional Chinese medicine doctor is really that amazing.

Lin Wanxing sat in his hotel room, eating small cakes one bite at a time. Today was supposed to be a joyous occasion for his wedding, but it was ruined by a gift from a stranger.

He's not stupid, and he doesn't want to be.

The banquet continued, but Lin Wanxing was too tired, so he went to his hotel suite to rest. He was in a very bad mood today.

He himself didn't know what he was supposed to do, but that old Chinese medicine doctor must have known something.

Lin Wanxing watched the cartoon playing on TV with a blank expression, stuffing cake into her mouth one bite at a time.

The once sweet cream now felt cloying to him; he was in a bad mood and had no appetite for anything.

He didn't even dare to look at his phone, because he was afraid that person would say something else.

This behavior of not looking at his phone is escapism; he's afraid to face the truth that's right in front of him.

Lin Wanxing began to waver when she saw that photo, and after she saw the real document, she became increasingly unable to control her wild thoughts.

Fang Ze is in such a terrible state; he's supposedly a cripple now and has lost his position as heir. No matter what, he can't connect all of this with his second brother, given how cruel those methods were.

In his heart, his second brother had always been a gentle and refined gentleman. He was so easygoing that he wouldn't do such a thing.

Lin Wanxing actually knew that the things that happened when Chen Xueping and Fang Ze got married were related to her second brother, but none of them involved any deaths.

Chen Xueping and Xu Feng's identities were simply exposed, and Lin Wanxing felt that they had received their due punishment.

But Fang Ze, with such cruel methods, had one of his hands severed.

Lin Wanxing suddenly remembered that it was around that time that Fang Ze and Jin Nana's affair was exposed.

Shen Zhiting had discussed it with him back then. At that time, he thought it was all just a coincidence and that Fang Ze had brought it upon himself. Now, thinking about it carefully, it seems that there was a mastermind behind all these things.

If all of this is related to my second brother, that would be terrifying.

Lin Wanxing didn't dare to think about it at all, but the more he tried not to think about it, the more his mind would wander uncontrollably.

He really didn't know what to do.

Lin Wanxing sat anxiously on the sofa, her heart filled with worry.

The phone was still vibrating, but Lin Wanxing didn't have the courage to look at it. He was afraid that the person would send something strange.

He was genuinely scared.

He put his phone on the coffee table, stared intently at the TV, picked up the remote and turned the volume up to the maximum so he couldn't hear the ringtones.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the phone finally went silent.
