Li Ling often spoke ill of Wen Qiao in front of Su Yugui.
She also mentioned that Shen Jichuan had registered his marriage with Wen Qiao for Shen Haiyang's sake.
Looking at Wen Qiao again, Su Yugui felt that this young woman was not simple-minded.
"Wen Qiao, you're here just in time. Ji Chuan's fake marriage with you for the sake of the ocean is pure nonsense. Before things get out of control, you two should break up."
"If you really want any compensation from the Shen family, just ask. Haiyang and Yang Xuening are in a free-love relationship."
"You live in the countryside, so you don't know about young men and women in the city. These days, free love is all the rage."
"That kind of arranged marriage is an old feudal idea from the old society in the countryside. Don't mention it again."
Wen Qiao didn't know much about her aunt from the Shen family, and she didn't have any ill intentions towards her.
But Su Yugui was full of malice towards her.
"You're right. I'm about to leave now. Your Shen family has been in such a mess, it's like you don't want to stay here."
“I originally thought Shen Haiyang would help me, so I placed all my hopes on him. Even when I begged him, he didn’t show me any mercy. Now I realize that this is a new society, and as long as I work hard, I will have a better life in the future.”
"You guys continue, I want to go upstairs and pack my things."
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao and said calmly, "There's no rush to leave now. I promised you before, and I'm not ready yet."
"Let me take care of these things first."
Wen Qiao didn't want Shen Jichuan to give her anything more.
He then said, "No need, sir. Your things didn't come from thin air."
After Wen Qiao finished speaking, she went straight upstairs to the second floor.
Li Ling looked at Wen Qiao and snorted.
"You're really good at playing hard to get. You just think the master is easy to talk to. You act pitiful in front of him, and he'll give you whatever you want."
Li Ling's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and since everyone was not deaf, they naturally heard it.
Wen Qiao was about to retort.
Hearing Shen Jichuan coldly rebuke Li Ling.
"Shut up. Since when did it become your place to speak about the Shen family?"
"Remember your identity: you are the Shen family's nanny. My respect for you does not mean you can be the head of the Shen family."
After Shen Jichuan finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked coldly at Su Yugui.
"Since you're here today, please take Sister Ling back to the old house when you have time. Mother is getting old and needs someone to take care of her."
"Haiyang's wedding shouldn't be taken so casually..."
Before Shen Jichuan could finish speaking, Su Yugui interrupted and said, "Jichuan, Haiyang is not young anymore. If he wants to get married, let him be."
"Besides, the Yang family is not bad either."
"There's something else I want to tell you."
As Su Yugui spoke, she glanced around. Everyone around her was one of their own, so there was nothing to hide.
But he still deliberately lowered his voice a bit.
“Haiyang and Yang Xuening have already had a relationship. Tell me, if she marries into the family while pregnant, it will be a disgrace to both the Shen and Yang families.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Jichuan looked at Shen Haiyang in disbelief.
He grabbed a teacup from the coffee table and smashed it hard at Shen Haiyang.
"You fickle thing."
"At such a young age, instead of focusing on your studies and work, you're only thinking about emotional matters. I don't think you'll amount to much in the future."
Shen Haiyang was unconvinced, and relying on Su Yugui's presence, he spoke more forcefully.
“You can’t make me end up like you. Besides, I haven’t missed any schooling. Uncle Yang has already arranged a job for me, so I’ll stay in Beicheng.”
"Dad, although you are not my biological father, I have always treated you as my own. Why don't you keep me in Beicheng by your side and instead send me to Hebei?"
Shen Xiao stayed in the North City.
It was a subordinate unit of Shen Jichuan's unit.
Those with strong connections can act with impunity at work.
Shen Xiao is Shen Jichuan's nephew; they are related by blood, and he, as an adopted son, cannot compare.
But his adoptive father shouldn't have abandoned him in Hebei.
Shen Haiyang was reluctant to go to Hebei, especially to a remote island.
However, his girlfriend, Yang Xuening, after learning about his troubles, contacted her father, Yang Hongyu.
Yang Hongyu agreed and said he would make arrangements for him in Beicheng.
Shen Jichuan never expected that Shen Haiyang, who had always been very obedient, would dare to disobey him like this.
Are you even criticizing him for not getting married?
Shen Jichuan said coldly, "My refusal to get married back then was partly due to you, Shen Haiyang. You really are a disappointment."
Shen Haiyang retorted, "It's you who doesn't want to get married, don't put all the blame on me."
"Dad, even if you remarry now, I won't stop you from doing so, let alone before."
Shen Haiyang had heard some rumors about his adoptive father.
Some say that he had an admirer, but failed to win her over, and therefore gave up on love.
Others say it's because he had a bad relationship with his mother from the old house, the old Mrs. Shen whom he always called "Grandma".
He hasn't gotten married yet, just to spite her.
But he prefers to believe it.
My adoptive father was injured in battle many years ago.
Let alone having children, I'm even powerless when I'm with a woman.
Only then did he tell the public that he didn't want to get married or have children, and that he only wanted to raise his adopted son well.
Shen Haiyang felt that his adoptive father, Shen Jichuan, was just using him as a cover to hide his physical defects.
Even if a person with a body that cannot produce offspring marries, he cannot keep the pregnancy.
Shen Jichuan's eyes were filled with hatred for Shen Haiyang.
So all that obedient and docile behavior he showed me before was just a facade.
Now that he's grown up and has Yang Hongyu from the Yang family backing him up, he's become quite assertive.
"If you want to get married, you can, but you have to figure out how to prepare for the wedding yourself. You'll have to figure out all the expenses for your wedding yourself."
As Shen Jichuan was speaking, he saw that Su Yugui was about to speak.
He looked over coldly.
“If you still plead for Haiyang, then you can decide what happens to his marriage.”
