After all, her back ached for several days afterward.
Duan Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Who told you to be so greedy? I was so drunk..."
Luo Qingyuan's ears turned red. She pushed Duan Ye away, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom.
Duan Ye quickly followed and whispered in her ear, "When are you going to give me some more perks?"
Luo Qingyuan slapped him across the face: "No way."
Duan Ye happily leaned closer, took her little hand and kissed it repeatedly, then closed the bedroom door.
"Isn't this a wife's duty? At worst, I'll just get a little tipsy..."
Luo Qingyuan looked at him, her expression utterly indescribable: "How... how are you becoming more and more shameless?"
Duan Ye: "Wife, you can't say that. I'm trying to get myself some benefits..."
The two bickered with each other, creating a sense of peaceful tranquility.
——
At this time, Shen Niannian was also taken back to the Shen family.
The car drove into the Shen family compound and stopped in front of the main gate.
Shen Changcheng: "I won't go in. You go ahead. Mom and Dad are waiting for you in the living room."
After Chen Niannian got out of the car, the driver drove away again.
Shen Niannian took a deep breath and then went inside.
The nannies standing on either side bowed their heads and respectfully addressed her as "Young Miss".
Shen Niannian walked straight to the living room door without looking to the side. As soon as she lifted her foot, someone squatted down to take off her shoes and put on slippers for her. She also took off her coat, and the nanny took away her bag.
Shen Niannian calmly walked in.
Two people dressed in pajamas were sitting in the living room: Shen Zongbai and He Yan, her parents.
Shen Zongbai was watching the news, and He Yan was watching a live broadcast. When they saw her arrive, they both put away their phones.
He Yan: "Come here, your dad has something to say to you."
Shen Niannian was puzzled. Hadn't she already informed her family about going to see Duan Ze? What was going on now?
Shen Niannian walked over and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
"Dad, what did you want to see me about?"
Shen Zongbai: "Dad sent people to investigate the Duan family."
Shen Niannian: "So what? Didn't I already tell you everything?"
Shen Zongbai: "Back then, Dad agreed to your relationship with Duan Ze because Luo Qingyuan married Duan Ye, but Niannian, the information Dad found out..."
"No, it should be said that it's information that Dad can't find out."
Shen Niannian was confused: "A relationship that can't be found out?"
“If the Duan family is really just an ordinary family, then it would be good if you married into the family and Qingyuan was also there, as if the Shen family and the Luo family had become in-laws.”
"but…"
Shen Zongbo sighed: "You have to break up with Duan Ze."
Shen Niannian's eyes widened immediately, and she flatly refused: "I can't break it off."
He Yan's face was grim: "Shen Niannian, do you know that you're gambling with the Shen family's future?!"
Shen Niannian: "I just don't understand. How can I gamble with the future of the Shen family just because I'm in a relationship? Yes, the Duan family has people in the military, but so what? It's not Duan Ze in the military. He and Duan Ye are just ordinary people."
Shen Zongbai looked at her, his expression inscrutable: "An ordinary person? A background that can't even be traced, and you're telling me it's an ordinary person?"
"Shen Niannian, you are still my daughter, raised by Shen Zongbai. How can you be so naive?"
"You've been involved in the company's business, haven't you? You know at least a little bit about how much dirt the Shen family has on them, don't you?"
"Even your father is certain that the Shen family's background has been exposed for a long time, and you're the only one who's been kept in the dark."
"Right now that you're not married, they might not investigate your family history too thoroughly. But once you get married, and the higher-ups start investigating, are you trying to get your father killed?"
He Yan's eyes turned red with anger: "Shen Niannian, let me tell you today, your parents will never agree to your relationship with Duan Ze, and you two can never get married."
Shen Niannian's face turned pale.
“Dad, I have been involved in the company's business, but those were all commercial matters, and nothing major has ever happened, right? Besides, the Luo family…”
Shen Zongbai: "That's enough!"
The living room fell silent immediately.
Shen Zongbai: "The Luo family? Luo Qingyuan has the resources to do so! Her brother is indeed someone feared by both the legitimate and criminal worlds, but his foreign trade organization is in line with international standards! You know her grandfather is a foreigner, right? That's allowed abroad, do you understand?"
He Yan: "Her uncles are all from top-tier families in Kyoto, and their businesses are spread all over the country."
"Shen Niannian, can you compare to a prestigious family like the Luo family with deep roots?"
"But the Shen family is different. If the Shen family wants to be rich, they have to fight for it and have the means. Otherwise, where did your life of luxury come from?"
Is it just a joke to say that the Luo family is the richest family?
Even if several large families were combined, they probably couldn't compare to the Luo family alone.
This is why the Jiang family is so determined to get Luo Qingyuan as their daughter-in-law, even if it means paying an exorbitant dowry.
With Luo Qingyuan, the Jiang family can be said to have risen to prominence. They can not only take over the domestic market, but also get involved in overseas businesses... even the businesses around the world where Luo Qingyuan's parents are located. Not to mention, Luo Qingyuan's mother's side is not to be underestimated.
Luo Qingyuan is the only person in Kyoto who owns an international bank.
It was Luo Qingyuan's dowry given to her by her mother.
This is an incredible fortune; who wouldn't want it?
Jiang Jingchuan wanted it day and night.
He could even ignore Luo Qingyuan and let her do whatever she wanted, as long as she married him and gave him two sons. He could treat her like royalty and take care of the children and business.
