When our father retired, his military rank was only major general, and there were plenty of people with that rank. If someone were to be allocated such a large courtyard, it would take a long time for them to be assigned to our Shen family. It would probably take at least 30 to 50 years before it reached us.

Or is it that the Shen family children have no idea at all? If I remember correctly, not to mention Xiao Shi, the other children in the family should know how this courtyard came about!

How come they're already eyeing things that aren't even part of the Shen family before they've even stepped foot inside the gates of my Shen family?

Or did someone say something to them? Or is this simply their upbringing?

Although I may be blunt, as your elder, I must remind you two that even if you eventually join the Shen family, it's best not to covet things you shouldn't.

Similarly, even if you don't enter the Shen family and become someone else's daughter-in-law, don't covet things you shouldn't covet, otherwise your marriage won't last.

As for what you said in the yard that day, I have already had someone tell your parents exactly what you said.

Although I, Shen Nan, do not know your father, who doesn't have a few friends?

Another point is that although Mianmian married into the Shen family, from the very first business transaction, she didn't use any of the Shen family's money.

Even though we're husband and wife, I don't have the audacity to think that everything under her name is mine!

"Third brother, you're exaggerating. I know that I haven't been able to take good care of my children and parents all these years because of work."

You two raised your parents and two children with your help, how could you have the nerve to care about these things?

What you're saying makes me feel even more wronged than Dou E.

"Xiuyuan, explain to me clearly what exactly happened with Wei Zhe!"

"Brother, don't be angry. I know our children are all good children, and I believe that the children I raised are not the kind of people who are shallow-minded."

There's no need to delve into what exactly happened in between.

As for the two young comrades, they should go back and consult their parents!

Although I, Li Mianmian, am in the business world, I also have many friends in the political arena, not to mention my classmates.

It's not hard to find out what's going on in your families, brother and sister-in-law. Even if you resent me, I have to say it: neither of them is suitable for our Shen family.

Their parents absolutely cannot be related to the Shen family by marriage, lest anything happen and involve their eldest brother and two children.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

"You are Zhe-ge's third aunt, and I have always addressed you respectfully as Third Aunt, but there's no need for you to slander my parents like this!"

“Sister-in-law, I originally didn’t plan to get involved in this matter. After all, no matter how good I am to my two nephews, even if I raise them like my own sons.”

But this is not something I, as an aunt, should get involved in. However, I did not expect to hear about their two families at Zhengze's wedding.

"Who says I don't believe it? But there's no smoke without fire!"

"What exactly happened to Mianmian? Just tell me."

"At Zhengze's wedding, there were my business friends, and they were old friends of many years. They couldn't possibly lie to me."

Due to time constraints, they didn't say much at the time, but just told me that neither of their parents were good officials or good people, and it was best not to associate with them.

After the children's wedding, I asked a local friend to check it out.

That's really true. One accepted bribes, and the other kept a mistress. As for the rest, we don't know much about them right now.

Brother, sister-in-law, do you think a daughter from such a family would be a suitable daughter-in-law for you?

Oh, by the way, I also heard about another story: a daughter born to her biological mother during the Cultural Revolution abandoned her husband and remarried, taking her daughter with her.

One woman committed adultery, leading to her divorce, and then moved in with her husband's family, bringing her daughter with her.

Brothers, you can't just agree to let your kids date because they finally brought home a girlfriend without even knowing anything about her!

And you two, tell me, where did all that intelligence you had growing up go? You're just pursuing them because they're pretty, without even getting to know them properly?

Or is it that your military is so short of girls that you'd accept any woman?

You're all college graduates, how come your standards are so low?

"Madam Shen, aren't you afraid we'll expose your family's affairs?"

"Whether it's about the foundation or something else, feel free to talk about it. It'll be a good opportunity to advertise my businesses."

As for the foundation, I had someone register the relevant procedures myself while my child was getting married.

Once their honeymoon is over, they will be able to officially start working soon.

As for the family trust fund, I'm worried that my friends in the mainland business community might not understand, and I'll have to explain it to them one by one.

If you tell your media friends, it will be much more convenient for me to follow up with a statement, don't you think?

Oh, I forgot to tell you, once this kind of thing happens, I think you two will also face unimaginable consequences. If you don't believe me, why not just try it?

"You truly are a businessman!"

"Let's keep it business as it is. There's no need to let emotions get involved with you two young comrades."

"You took everything from us just because of a careless remark we made back then. Aren't you holding a grudge too much?"

Whether it was unintentional or not, I think you all know the answer in your hearts.

What I despise most is the kind of person who knows something is impossible but insists on doing it anyway.

Girl, do what you're capable of, don't just keep eyeing other people's things.

"You're not just wary of us, are you? I'm afraid you're also wary of your daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law who hasn't even entered the family yet!"

"Did I use the method of looking behind to guard against them? Didn't you hear me clearly just now? I already told them very clearly."

My children, and the partners they've chosen, are all capable people who won't create unnecessary trouble for themselves over this.

I think they will understand that everything I did was for their own good.

Although I didn't give them a lot, they have received a sum of money every month since the family trust was established.

Add to that their salary, and while they might not live a life of extreme wealth, it's certainly not something the average person can compare to, wouldn't you agree?

You two are interested in them, isn't it all for a better life?

Although I haven't known you two for very long, I have never seen any love for your boyfriends in either of your eyes.

If this is love, then it's really worthless!
