"No," Shen Ciqing pulled the hem of Shen Wenzhong's trousers and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood. It was me who asked Brother Chen to prepare the betrothal gift.
I want to prove to the world that I married Brother Rangchen purely because I love him as a person, not because of his money, and certainly not because of Madam Yu's status."
[I will just watch you act cool! ]
[Is that what you want to prove to the world? If you don't prove it like this, Chairman Yu will really not let you in. ]
Shen Wen Zhong: How can you say that?
[Chairman Yu originally disliked Shen Ciqing's humble and down-to-earth style, but the marriage was arranged by the elders, so he couldn't say anything no matter how much he disliked it.]
[After the incident of Jiang Zhuxin buying fake goods, Chairman Yu had the idea of canceling the engagement, but Yu Rangchen was willing and insisted that he would not marry anyone but Shen Ciqing.
No matter how angry Chairman Yu was, he could not persuade his stubborn son, so he had to accept it.
Who could have thought that within a few days, Shen Wenchang would hire someone to murder his wife. This has gone beyond the scope of morality and is a criminal case.
Chairman Yu once again seized the opportunity to force Yu Rangchen to cancel the engagement, but Shen Ciqing cried and knelt, signed an agreement swearing to sever ties with his parents, and promised not to ask for any betrothal gifts or betrothal gifts, and not to need any property after marriage.
Thinking that there was no need to damage the father-son relationship with Yu Rangchen for Shen Ciqing, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
He thought that even if Yu Rangchen got divorced, it would not affect his worth, as long as Shen Ciqing did not have any chance to take away his property. 】
Shen Wen Zhong: The old man is quite shrewd in his calculations. What's the point of marrying into a family like this?
"You..." Shen Wenzhong raised his hands, but he didn't hit her in the end. After all, she was not his daughter. "Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"No, uncle," Shen Ciqing said, "I only have one wish, to marry Brother Rangchen, please fulfill my wish!"
Shen Ciqing even kowtowed, which scared Fu Qingru so much that she stepped back a few steps.
Because of her petty character, she would be looked down upon even if she married into the Yu family.
[What's wrong with Shen Ciqing? She has long been free to marry, and Chairman Yu has agreed, so why doesn't she just marry in? Why is she coming here to beg my grandfather?]
System: [Yu Rangchen knew that she was no longer the little girl she was back then, and wanted to cancel the engagement with her. She was unwilling, so Yu Rangchen asked for the consent of your grandparents.]
[What the hell! What kind of plot is this? Why doesn't the plot follow the rules? They knew about it so early, and they can still get married. Can Yu Rangchen do it? ]
System: [Maybe, maybe it’s not possible! After all, we haven’t even kissed each other before. ]
Yu Rangchen: Are you polite?
Yu Rangchen lowered his eyes to glance at Shen Ciqing, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Wenzhong, "Uncle, you are a smart man, I won't beat around the bush.
The Yu and Shen families are getting married, with the focus being on the Yu family and the Shen family.
The Shen family, however, demonstrates the demeanor of an aristocratic family in every aspect. Decades ago, you, uncle, turned the Shen family, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, into the top of the industry today. Everyone in the circle praises you for your ability to become a general or a prime minister.
Your four sons and one daughter are all outstanding, at the top of their industries and decent people. There is no one in the Beijing circle who doesn't want to marry their daughter into the Shen family.
My father and I admire you and the Shen family, so we are willing to marry into the Shen family, but Ciqing's parents are a bit too disappointing. If your daughter marries into the Yu family, it will be something we both prefer to see."
Yu Rangchen emphasized the words "your daughter" to indicate that he had a deeper meaning.
[As expected of the strongest male lead, he even brought up my beautiful mother when he was praising me. This male lead is awesome. 】
Song Li: Is it possible that other people’s compliments are just polite remarks to demonstrate their emotional intelligence?
After all, she had not been in the Shen family for twenty years, so she had no way of judging whether she was excellent or not.
System: [I am a little confused. Shen Ciqing is not your grandfather’s daughter.]
[You didn't hear it! Yu Rangchen praised Shen Ciqing so much just to let her marry into the Yu family in the name of my grandfather's daughter.
This way, the Yu family won't be embarrassed, and Shen Ciqing won't be criticized because of her parents. Even if Shen Ciqing's parents are someone else, they will be more lenient when bullying her because they are afraid of my grandparents. 】
System: [He knows that she is no longer the little girl she was back then, but he is still willing to marry her and plan for her like this. Could it be that Yu Rangchen really likes Shen Ciqing? ]
[It’s better not, otherwise I will despise him. ]
[How can you and I guess the thoughts of the strongest male protagonist? But I have to say that this flattery is a bit too much and distorted! ]
Shen Wen Zhong: Kid, don’t talk nonsense. There is no distortion in the truth. The Shen family and all the Shen family members are very outstanding!
If Shen Yue could hear what her grandfather was thinking at this moment, she would definitely ask in return, is Shen Wenchang also very outstanding?
Shen Wenzhong put his fist to his lips and coughed awkwardly, "Since you praised your uncle's family tradition, I can't do something like a substitute. Qingqing is the daughter raised by Wen Chang and Jiang Zhuxin, and I am just her uncle.
Furthermore, as a member of the Shen family, it is fine for Qingqing to sever ties with her parents. After all, Wen Chang and Jiang Zhuxin did disappoint the child. However, it is against the Shen family tradition to reject her biological parents and recognize other people as her parents just because she wants to marry into the Yu family."
After hearing this, Shen Ciqing took out a folding knife from his pocket, opened it and put it against his neck.
"What are you doing?" Shen Wen Zhong's face was full of contempt and disgust.
"Uncle, if you don't agree to let me marry Brother Rangchen, I will die in front of you."
"You die! Die right now!" Shen Wen Zhong roared angrily, causing Fu Qingru to rush forward to help him breathe, fearing that he would faint from the heart failure.
[Who are you trying to scare, you bitch? If you have the guts, go after the aorta! Do it! Slash it hard! It's a cheap and threatening move.]
“Uncle, Auntie,” Yu Rangchen nodded one by one and said sincerely, “You two have seen it too, you can’t joke about human life!
Besides, you and Ciqing’s parents are brothers, so what’s the difference between his daughter and your daughter?
The betrothal gift was requested by Ciqing on her own initiative; it was her intention.
Uncle and aunt, on behalf of the Shen family, I have prepared a betrothal gift for marrying a daughter of the Shen family. This is my intention. "
[You can't joke about human life? So... is there a possibility that Yu Rangchen was also forced? ]
System: [It is really possible. Shen Ciqing's posture of holding the knife to his neck is quite intimidating.]
[It's the 21st century now. Can't the male protagonists of romance novels keep up with the times?
He gave in just because the female supporting character used a knife to scare him. Is he that soft-hearted?
Even if she cuts her artery, it has nothing to do with you, okay? She is the one who is in pain and she is the one who dies, is it worth it to give in and marry her for such a small thing? 】
Song Li: Is it really okay for us to meddle in other people's business? Fortunately, he couldn't hear it.
Yu Rangchen let out a breath of foul air after being scolded. At this time, the lawyer behind him took out several documents. Yu Rangchen took the documents and handed them over with both hands.
Shen Wenzhong glanced at the document and then looked at Yu Rangchen, and asked unhappily, "What do you mean?"
"The betrothal gift for you," Yu Rangchen said when he saw that he didn't accept it, "includes a manor in the east of the city, an office building in the CBD, a diamond mine in South Bay, and 10% of Yu's shares."
The first few items had already made Shen Wenzhong drop his jaw, but he didn't expect that he would also take over 10% of Yu's shares.
You have to know that based on the current market value, 10% of Yu’s shares can buy ten Shen’s.
Shen Wen Zhong: He is so generous, is there any fishy thing going on?
Fu Qingru: No wonder Jiang Zhuxin went to such great lengths to marry Shen Ciqing into the Yu family. Who can resist such overwhelming wealth?
The couple looked at each other for two seconds, wanting to hear Shen Yue's opinion, but they didn't expect that Shen Yue had already fallen asleep in Song Li's arms, with snot bubbles coming out of her nose.
Everyone followed the couple's gaze to look at Shen Yue, only Yu Rangchen fixed his eyes on Song Li's gentle smile, his heart beating so fast that he needed to open his mouth to breathe.
The atmosphere was quiet and warm for two seconds, but was finally broken by Shen Ciqing.
"Uncle, aunt, you see it! Brother Chen really wants to marry me, please agree!"
Seeing that the two men still had indifference on their faces, Shen Ciqing gritted his teeth and pressed the tip of the knife into the skin of his neck. Bright red blood oozes out in large drops, dripping down the blade that flashes with cold light.
Shen Wenzhong sighed, "It's up to you! If you want to get married, then marry! But we can't accept the dowry."
As he spoke, Shen Wen Zhong raised his hand and pushed the document back.
Yu Rangchen curled his lips: I thought to myself that what I give away will never be taken back.
The marriage was settled, and the wedding date was set for a week later.
Jiang Zhuxin, who was still lying in the hospital with nails and bandages all over her body, immediately perked up after hearing the news. She almost created a medical miracle by getting out of the bed and taking two steps.
"That's great, it's really great." Jiang Zhuxin hadn't laughed so happily in decades.
The last time he laughed like this was when Song Li went missing and the marriage of Shen Yu's family fell on Shen Ciqing's shoulders.
"Fu Qingru, you have been riding on my head and bullying me for decades, and now it's finally my turn to be on top. I really can't wait to see you grovel in front of me.
He should look like a eunuch from the palace!"
As if she was imagining the scene, Jiang Zhuxin laughed happily, freely and happily.
Happiness is contagious, Shen Ciqing also laughed, "I hate the hypocritical look of my uncle and aunt the most.
She was jealous of me because her daughter didn't marry well, and she didn't want me to marry well, so she tried to stop me.
If I hadn’t threatened to die, my uncle would have really driven Brother Rangchen away.”
"That's right," Jiang Zhuxin patted her daughter's hand proudly, "Your uncle and aunt are the most hypocritical and hateful. They have a good life and don't allow others to be better than them.
She acts so superior all the time. You have no idea how much my mom hates her over the years.
This time I want to let her see that I, Jiang Zhuxin, am much better than her. My daughter can marry into the Yu family and become the Crown Princess, while her daughter will only be dumped.
But... why did you agree to marry as the daughter of Shen Wenzhong and Fu Qingru? Is it shameful to be my daughter? "
"..." Shen Ciqing pursed her lips and said, "Mom, why do you care about these details? The focus now is to marry into the Yu family.
The Yu family did this mainly to save face and they didn't want people who attended the wedding to gossip about them. You know, rich people care about face the most.
Besides, everyone knows that I am your daughter! Your identity cannot be shaken, don't worry! "
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Since receiving the news, Jiang Zhuxin has stopped staying in the hospital and invited doctors to her home. She sits in a wheelchair and greets relatives and friends who come to visit her.
