Tongxiang
"Aunt Lin, we've come to see you and brought you gifts."
Shen Beitang held a red box in his hand, which was beautifully packaged.
"Since you're already here, why bring anything else?"
Aunt Lin had just heard that they were coming when she started cooking.
"Really don't want it? Then I'll take it back. Aunt Lin, don't regret it!"
Shen Beitang shook the box mysteriously, which attracted Aunt Lin to peek out from the kitchen repeatedly.
"What is that?"
Aunt Lin carefully washed her hands and took the box.
"Aunt Lin, you'll know once you open it."
Shen Beitang winked at Gu Zhun. She believed that Aunt Lin would prefer this to money and jewelry.
"Xiao Zhun, Xiao Tang, this, this is..."
Aunt Lin held the box in her hands, her voice choked with emotion.
Shen Beitang comforted Aunt Lin by putting his arm around her shoulder, but he also felt a pang of sadness.
"This should have been yours to begin with."
Aunt Lin held the red property certificate in her hand, never expecting that she had lived in the house for most of her life.
Now it has finally been recovered.
"Today is a day to celebrate, we should have a big meal."
Aunt Lin felt she hadn't prepared enough and planned to go to the market to buy some more.
Shen Beitang helped Aunt Lin sit down in a chair and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Aunt Lin, please sit down and relax. Mr. Gu will pay for all the meals today."
"Hurry up and cook!"
Shen Beitang slapped Gu Zhun on the back, urging him to go to the kitchen.
"Only you dare to order me around."
Gu Zhun affectionately flicked the tip of her nose.
Besides Aunt Lin's house, Gu Zhun bought all the houses in Tong Lane and gave them away unconditionally to everyone.
Aunt Lin wanted them to stay longer for dinner before leaving.
However, having just taken over the shares from Yun Su, there are still a lot of things to deal with.
Aren't you coming back with me?
Gu Zhun sat in the car, reluctantly saying goodbye to Shen Beitang.
"I just went to the mall to browse around and see how well the human-centered design of the mall is going?"
Shen Beitang reached out and touched the top of Gu Zhun's head.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would be utterly astonished and would think that Gu Zhun had been bewitched.
...
This time, Shen Beitang chose a remote shopping mall for the survey.
After all, everyone thinks that since the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, they won't be investigated.
Before she even reached the door, Shen Beitang was tightly embraced from behind.
The strength of her hands was so great that she couldn't break free, and she even felt suffocated.
"Tangtang, do you miss me?"
She initially thought it was Gu Zhun's prank, but when she heard the voice, she realized something was wrong.
He struck the person behind him in the stomach with his elbow, using all his strength.
"ah!"
The person behind her loosened their grip due to the pain, and she took the opportunity to break free.
"Shan Chengming, have you gone mad?"
Shen Beitang looked at Shan Chengming, who was dressed in a respectable manner, and knelt on the ground in pain.
"Tangtang, you never used to treat me like this."
Even in the most dire circumstances, Shan Chengming will always adjust himself to be in the best possible condition.
He forced himself to put on a standard smile.
To prevent Shan Chengming from lunging at her, Shen Beitang took a few steps back to maintain a safe distance.
"Tell me, how did I treat you before?"
Shan Chengming stood up, clutching his stomach, patted his wrinkled suit, and made a move to take her hand.
But Shen Beitang's obvious evasive actions left him awkwardly frozen in place.
"After these past few months, I've figured it out. You're still the person I love most, and I want to be with you again."
As Shan Chengming spoke, he knelt down on one knee and took out a black velvet ring from his pocket.
"Tangtang, after so many years of twists and turns, you have finally returned to my embrace."
As soon as Shan Chengming finished speaking, he stood up confidently, believing that today's proposal was perfectly planned.
Shen Beitang would definitely cry and thank her for marrying her, and would even give her whatever she wanted.
He didn't even have to put the ring on her finger himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a pair of beautiful hands reached out and took the ring away.
Shan Chengming said smugly, "How about it, Tangtang? Let's go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
"cut."
Shen Beitang held the ring in one hand, turning it playfully.
"This is your engagement ring. You want to marry the eldest daughter of the Shen Group? You'll use this?"
She examined the diamond ring carefully several times, and even borrowed a magnifying glass from the jewelry store on the first floor.
"Excuse me, where is the main diamond in this ring? It's just a bunch of small diamonds. You're really embarrassed to show it off. It seems your family is truly poor."
Humiliated in public, Shan Chengming's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he almost crushed the velvet powder box in his hand.
Although this ring was originally a cheap one he bought from the store.
"Shen Beitang, you're such a materialistic woman! Now that you've hooked up with Gu Zhun, you think you're something special."
Have you forgotten how you almost knelt before me, begging me to marry you?
"I had a bad eye before and misjudged people. Now, someone like you is just a piece of trash that I can't recycle."
Looking at Shen Beitang's arrogant demeanor, Shan Chengming felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.
She's always been like this; just because she's invested money in his family, he has to accommodate her in everything.
What are we competing for?
But then he thought of his mother's instructions to him before he returned to China, and the future of the company.
She managed a forced smile, concealing her previous sullen expression.
"Tangtang, don't be angry. I was just out of my mind. I was a jerk. Those words weren't what I really meant."
As he spoke, he slapped himself across the face without feeling any pain or discomfort.
"Didn't you used to really want me to kiss you?"
As he spoke, Shan Chengming tried to pull her into his arms, saying, "I'll grant your wish right now."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap landed on his face.
The unexpected slap left Shan Chengming stunned for a long time before he could react.
He covered his face, pointing at Shen Beitang in shock, displaying his impotent rage to the fullest extent.
"You, Shen Beitang, you really don't know what's good for you!"
"Don't rush to go crazy. I'll just ask you one question. As long as your answer satisfies me, I'll grant you all your requests, including getting the Shan family back into the game."
"Really?"
At this moment, Shan Chengming seemed to have forgotten the slap he had just received, his mind filled with Shen Beitang's words.
The conditions she proposed were too attractive; all she wanted was to regain the Shen family's help.
He could be the powerful young master of the Shan family again, and then he could deal with Shen Beitang later.
“Of course it’s true.” Shen Beitang nodded firmly.
"Okay, then ask whatever you want."
Dan Chengming patted his chest confidently. He refused to believe that he couldn't handle a mere Shen Beitang.
