He is so shameless that he even asks for so much as a betrothal gift, and he will still give her a dowry?
He wants to keep the betrothal gift for himself. Do you think she is a fool who can't see it?
"Your sister is right. Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. Please show me the betrothal gift list immediately. The sooner the marriage is settled, the better."
As soon as Qin Xiaohong finished speaking, she reached out to grab it, and Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.
But before she could move or speak, a strong arm suddenly appeared in her sight, blocking Qin Xiaohong firmly.
"What?"
Qin Xiaohong frowned, "I'm an aunt, is there anything wrong with me wanting to see my own daughter's betrothal gift?"
Gu Jisui's deep brows revealed an irresistible chill, as sharp as a biting cold wind. "No problem, but this betrothal gift list belongs to her personally."
Qin Xiaohong breathed heavily, and before she could say anything, she heard his gloomy voice again: "Even legally, you have no right to seize it, or has your Shen family reached the point where they no longer care about the law?"
Along the way, Chen Yuan was thinking about how Qin Xiaohong's face had turned green with anger. This was the first time in her life that she had seen someone suppress Qin Xiaohong with the calm demeanor of Mount Tai, so that she couldn't vent her anger.
It really feels great.
After putting the gift list into her bag, Shen Yuan took a few deep breaths before stepping into the Shen family's house.
Shen Jiajia has returned to the Shen family. There is no need for her to continue to suffer in the Shen family. Leaving is the best choice.
Returning to the bedroom, Chen Yuan began to pack up his things, suppressing all the memories of the past twenty years.
"Xiao Yuan, what are you doing?"
When the familiar voice came, Shen Yuan paused for a moment, and continued to tidy up without raising his head. His voice was cold and distant, "It's none of your business. You are Shen Jiajia's husband now. Please go out and don't cause me any trouble."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Siyu grabbed her wrist.
"Xiao Yuan, believe me, I have always loved you, and you will always be the only one in my heart. As long as I successfully inherit the Shen family, I will definitely let you live a good life. Believe me, I do all this for our happy future."
It's affectionate, but also disgusting.
An indescribable chill ran through her heart. Shen Yuan suddenly shook off his hand and laughed mockingly, "For me? Did I let you covet the Shen family's wealth? Did I force you to climb into Shen Jiajia's bed at night? How dare you say such a thing?"
Zhao Siyu endured it, his eyes full of pity, and took a step closer to her, "Xiao Yuan, everything I did to Shen Jiajia was fake, it was all just a show. I know you said it out of anger, so come back to me, okay? In a year at most, I will make our relationship public."
"go out!"
There was no warmth in Shen Yuan's eyes. "I feel sick when I hear you say one more word now!"
Zhao Siyu narrowed his eyes and his attitude suddenly changed. "You keep saying you're pushing me away, but you're not shy about sleeping with other men. Do you really think you're that clean?"
"If others can touch it, why can't I?"
As Zhao Siyu spoke, he hugged Chen Yuan without any hesitation, and his hands were all over her body, with extremely intense movements.
"Let me go!"
Shen Yuan felt extremely disgusted and struggled with gritted teeth, but he still pushed her into the corner.
"Today I will tear off your mask of false nobility, you bitch who's been ridden by thousands of people!"
Zhao Siyu reached out and pulled her thin sweater, firmly restraining her moving hands.
"What are you doing!?"
An angry female voice suddenly sounded.
Zhao Siyu was stunned for a second, then quickly let her go and stepped back several steps.
Shen Yuan leaned against the cold wall, took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at Shen Jiajia, whose face was ashen, and sneered sarcastically: "A man whose mind is full of thoughts about violating other people is as rare as you are."
Shen Jiajia's eyes were suddenly filled with anger.
Zhao Siyu immediately tried to make amends, "Jia Jia, it's not like that. It was her—she seduced me! I just came to see if she needed any help, but she seduced me right away. I couldn't refuse, so luckily you came."
Shen Jiajia naturally knew what kind of person Zhao Siyu was, but right now it was a matter of face.
"Bitch! How dare you seduce my husband!"
Shen Jiajia gritted her teeth and slapped her.
A hint of cruelty flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and she suddenly grabbed her wrist, "If you have water in your brain, go to the hospital, don't come here to act crazy!"
After she finished speaking, she shook off Shen Jiajia's hand.
It was obvious that she didn't use much force, but Shen Jiajia fell towards the cabinet, and her forehead hit the corner of the cabinet. A shrill scream instantly resounded throughout the room.
Shen Yuan frowned.
The next second, Qin Xiaohong rushed in and helped Shen Jiajia, who had fallen to the ground, up distressedly. "Jiajia, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Shen Jiajia's eyes were red and tears welled up, but she still shook her head, pretending to be stubborn, "I... I'm fine, Mom."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Yuan very cautiously.
"Mom, my sister still needs to pack her things, let's leave first..."
Qin Xiaohong had already understood everything from Shen Jiajia's expression. She immediately protected her behind her and glared at Shen Yuan, "Why are you leaving? You are the daughter that your mother has finally found, and now someone dares to bully you so blatantly. I must seek justice for you!"
However, Chen Yuan didn't even give Qin Xiaohong a glance and continued to pack her clothes.
"Kneel down and apologize to Jia Jia!"
She sneered and quickened her movements without even raising her eyelids. "What are you apologizing for? Do you want me to apologize for Zhao Siyu trying to violate me behind Shen Jiajia's back, or do you want me to apologize for Shen Jiajia hitting me even though she knew the truth?"
"you!"
Qin Xiaohong's lips trembled with anger. "You're so rebellious! My Shen family provides you with drinks, and this is how you repay me?"
"Provide me with food and drink?"
Chen Yuan seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke. "In the past twenty years, I have tried my best to win first place in countless piano competitions, but just because you were not satisfied with my sitting posture, you locked me up in a dark attic several times, and I almost starved to death.
How many beatings did I receive in order to practice the smile you described? Because my bravery in school didn't fit your idea of a daughter, you locked me up with the dog when I got home, not giving me food all day, forcing me to compete with the dog for food.
There are countless examples like this!
Is this what you call nurturing?"
When Shen Yuan said this, hatred seeped out from her eyes. "For the sake of the Shen family's reputation, I never said a word to anyone else, but do you think you deserve it? A scumbag who only knows how to abuse his adopted daughter!"
After she finished speaking, she slammed the box shut, picked it up and was about to leave.
