Chapter 197 It's not that easy for her to marry into the Shen family.
Shen Yan was completely stunned when he heard her words. What happened? Why did his aunt seem so angry?
"Auntie, can you tell me why? What exactly happened?"
"It's nothing, I just don't want to agree to you dating my daughter anymore. I don't think you're sincere. What are you showing off in front of me for? I'm sure you've fooled me. But do you think my daughter has to marry into your family?" Mrs. Nan asked angrily.
Hearing her words, Shen Yan was even more confused. When had he ever shown off in front of his aunt? He felt utterly wronged...
"Auntie..." He was about to ask when the phone suddenly hung up, and when he called back, he found he had been blocked!
How did I offend your aunt? She won't even tell me the reason.
Mrs. Song poured her a glass of red wine and comforted her, "Calm down... The boy's voice on the phone sounds familiar, is it Shen Yan?"
"You know him?" Nan's mother turned her head and asked in surprise.
"I know her, but we're not very close. Do you know who that lady who embarrassed you at the restaurant entrance is?" Mrs. Song asked deliberately.
"I don't know, who is she?" Nan's mother didn't recognize the woman either; she hadn't seen her for over ten years.
"I'd better not say anything more. Let's eat. The food at this restaurant is pretty good, and the ambiance is nice too. It's not any worse than that members-only restaurant."
Madam Song deliberately left things unsaid, changing the subject. Nan's mother became even more curious. Damn it, she'd been insulted and didn't even know who the other person was! It was so frustrating. She asked again:
"Just tell me, who exactly is that woman?"
Madam Song looked at her with a troubled expression, sighed slightly and said, "...She is Shen Yan's mother. She probably didn't know your identity, which is why she treated you that way."
Nan's mother was filled with surprise. That arrogant, domineering middle-aged woman who seemed to have eyes on the top of her head and would bite anyone she saw was Shen Yan's mother?!
She thought Shen Yan's parents must be gentle and well-mannered people!
"That's just Madam Shen's personality. If she apologizes to you, give them another chance. After all, it's for the happiness of your children," Madam Song said, pulling out a tissue to elegantly wipe her mouth.
"It's precisely for my daughter's happiness that I absolutely cannot agree to her being with Shen Yan. If Xiaxia marries into their family, won't she be bullied to death by that mean-spirited old woman?" she sneered.

In another upscale restaurant.
"I think you don't really like my son; you just want to marry into a wealthy family, don't you?"
Madam Shen gave the woman a mocking look, and Nan Xia couldn't help but laugh as well, "Is there a difference? Anyway, I'll treat you all well."
"Will you be good to us? Then come over and give me a shoulder massage. My back and waist are aching from playing mahjong these past few days." Madam Shen called out to her deliberately, wanting to see if this woman was telling the truth or lying to her.
"But I've never had anyone massage my hands before. Are you sure you want me to massage your hands?" she asked earnestly.
"Stop talking nonsense, come here and give me a massage..." Madam Shen just wanted to order her around and see if she was really sincere.
Nan Xia stood up and walked behind her, glancing down at the old woman before suddenly squeezing her shoulders hard with both hands! The old woman cried out in pain.
"How did you manage to squeeze me like that? Do you even know how to do things properly? You're supposed to be a famous lawyer, and you're incredibly stupid! You almost broke my shoulder! I think you did it on purpose!"
Madam Shen was loudly rebuking her when Shen Yan, who had just reached the door, overheard her. He glared angrily at his mother, then at the aggrieved Nan Xia, and said in a cold tone:
"Why did you let her massage your shoulders? She's my woman, not a servant to wait on you."
Nan Xia immediately went to his side, "Forget it, don't be angry with your mother. I've never served anyone like this before..."
"Mom, you should apologize to Nanxia," Shen Yan said to her in a deep voice.
"What? I apologize to her?" Madam Shen looked at her son angrily. She had spoiled him since he was a child, and he actually disregarded his own mother's feelings for an outsider?
She has never apologized to anyone in her life; it's always others who try to please her!
“If you don’t want to apologize, I won’t force you. You don’t need to eat this meal, and I won’t get involved in Ruifeng Group’s affairs anymore,” he said deliberately.
Madam Shen frowned. How could that boy be so infatuated with her? She's just a little good-looking, isn't she? Does he lack beautiful women around him?
Seeing the woman grit her teeth, for the sake of the company, he still said to her emphatically, "Attorney Nan, I'm sorry!"
“It’s alright, we’ll be family from now on, no need to be so formal.” Nan Xia said magnanimously, and Shen Yan couldn’t help but turn to look at her, trusting her even more.
I thought that given her personality, she would never tolerate her mother's behavior, so this surprised me quite a bit.
A family?
"Hmph, it's not that easy for her to marry into the Shen family." Madam Shen glanced at her and snorted coldly inwardly.
"Why didn't Dad come?" Shen Yan asked her mother.
"He had something come up, but he'll be here soon," Madam Shen said in a low voice, then feigned concern and asked, "Didn't you also call Attorney Nan's mother? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
Nanxia's expression immediately darkened upon hearing her words. "Mom's coming too?"
“Aunt Nan won’t be coming.” Shen Yan frowned and said, “Let’s eat first. Tonight is the first time Nan Xia is having dinner with her parents, so we can’t cancel it.”
I'll ask my aunt when I get back.
Nanxia breathed a silent sigh of relief upon hearing his words…
"Why didn't she come?" Madam Shen asked again, pretending not to know, so as not to upset her son later.
"I don't know yet. I'll ask when I get back," he said.
Nanxia glanced at him. Had he just called his mother? His mother must have agreed to his request, so why did she suddenly change her mind?
Could it be that they already know that Shen Yan is Shen Shaohui's son?
As the group was chatting, a waiter gently knocked on the door of the private room, and a tall, composed middle-aged man walked in. It was Shen Shaohui.
He glanced at the people in the room and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to have dinner with Nanxia's mother to discuss the wedding date?"
"Auntie didn't come, she must have been held up by something. It's not a rush, we can discuss it next time," Shen Yan said, making an excuse for Nan's mother.
Shen Shaohui showed no emotion on his face, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart. He had already come, and she was still putting on airs?
"Then, Attorney Nan, please have a seat. Since you're already here, let's have a meal together." He pretended to be amiable, showing no sign of his growing suspicion towards her.
Nan Xia sat down on a chair nearby, and the waiters brought in the dishes one after another. Shen Yan had already ordered the food.
“My son told me that Attorney Nan is going to appeal for Ruifeng a second time, so I’ll have to trouble you. I hope you can win this case,” Shen Shaohui said to her.
