Shen Wangshu coughed but did not speak.
Scarlett never spoke ill of her ex-husband in front of her two daughters because she believed that hatred would only make her heart heavy and dark, and would not do her any good.
What's the point of letting the two daughters deeply resent the man who no longer cares about them?
It's better to grow up happily.
However, Shen Wangshu was aware that Scarlett and her daughter had been discarded as a burden.
She was actually quite surprised by Scarlett.
This strong mother, struggling to raise her two daughters single-handedly during her impoverished years, endured such hardship. Despite their inherent nature, both girls appeared gentle and sensible. Scarlett took excellent care of them.
Thinking of this, Shen Wangshu's gaze softened. She reached out and held Si Jiali's hand, whispering, "I'm like Mom." She felt Si Jiali's hand tremble, and a warm tear fell onto the back of her hand. She couldn't help but smile and say, "I'll stay with Mom from now on."
"I'll stay with you," Nangong Cheng quickly pledged his loyalty.
If we don't make a statement now, when will we ever get a chance to show our presence?
"You guys have some conscience," Scarlett said, her eyes red.
“Her father actually did the right thing. If he hadn’t divorced you back then, how would I have met you?” Nangong Cheng said earnestly.
Scarlett was speechless.
She thought this guy really didn't know how to say nice things.
Is being abandoned actually a good thing?
However, Nangong Cheng did avenge her.
That man, Sichun and Sixin's father, was someone she met at a banquet after she married Nangong Cheng.
Don't let Nangong Cheng's ordinary-looking face fool you; he's not as handsome as that other guy, but Nangong Cheng is incredibly wealthy. Even if you combined the wealth of the several wealthy families that other man married into, they couldn't compare to Nangong Cheng's. It's said that Nangong Cheng didn't like that man, and the wealthy woman quickly divorced him. Speaking of which, the man is getting a bit old and past his prime; although he's still handsome, it's unlikely he'll be able to marry into another wealthy family again.
Scarlett doesn't want her ex-husband to see their two daughters and disrupt their lives; her ex-husband now lives in Africa.
She spent ten years without her husband's care, so her ex-husband also had to endure ten years of hardship in Africa.
Nangong did everything a man would do for his wife.
Thinking of this, Si Jiali felt a surge of affection for Nangong Chenggong, leaned over, and kissed his forehead.
Passerby A suddenly fainted from happiness at the dinner table.
Shen Wangshu ate his meal in silence, resolutely refusing to look up at anyone.
She thought it was too cheesy.
Dongfang Xuan was quite envious.
He felt that if his own Shushu kissed his forehead every day, he would almost faint at the dinner table.
If the mountain won't come to me, then I'll come to the mountain. Dongfang Xuan then leaned over and kissed Shen Wangshu's forehead.
When the boy's soft lips touched her forehead, Shen Wangshu trembled and blushed. She glanced nervously at her beautiful mother, and seeing Si Jiali staring at her expressionlessly, she was about to plead for Dongfang Xuan when she saw the boy look up at Si Jiali and smile gently, saying, "Auntie, regarding the engagement, Grandpa wants to ask, how much dowry do you want?"
Not only Shen Wangshu, but also Nangong Xiang. With two granddaughters-in-law all at once, the old man is so happy that he sings loudly at home every day.
If I weren't living alone on the mountaintop, I would definitely attract a lot of complaints.
You might even get a voodoo doll made out of it.
"Well... let's just follow your family's traditions for the betrothal gifts." Si Jiali didn't expect to make money off her daughter, but a larger betrothal gift would be good for her daughter's reputation, so she said with a smile, "Just do your best."
They are truly not materialistic.
Ah Ye wiped the corner of his mouth and looked at Madam Nangong with newfound respect.
What are these trillion-dollar tycoons doing their best for? That must be a huge sum of money!
"I will use the very best of everything as a betrothal gift," Dongfang Xuan said gently.
"Okay, okay... but if we give all the best to Xiao Chun, what about our Ah Xiang?" Nangong Cheng asked hurriedly.
"I'll share a tiny bit with Miss Nangong." The young man continued with a gentle smile, being incredibly stingy.
Nangong Xiang snorted coldly, curling her lip in disdain.
She doesn't care! She's willing to marry Ah Ye, not for his money.
But... does Aya have money?
Don't underestimate the resources of the number one assassin. When Shen Wangshu skipped class again in despair early in the morning, she felt deeply that she had become a contestant on the teacher's blacklist, and that she might not be given any exposure on the list in the future.
She became a dejected, truant student, helplessly dragged along by Nangong Xiang, following behind A Ye on a rugged path. It was a path leading to the mountaintop. Although there were cars, the wealthy preferred to walk, until they were so tired their eyes were about to tear up, before finally reaching the summit under A Ye's guidance.
Then Shen Wangshu was stunned.
A cluster of mansions exactly like the one on the neighboring hill came into view.
“My home,” Aye said calmly, slightly raising her delicate chin.
Shen Wangshu looked at the young assassin, who had bought a hilltop to build a villa, with newfound respect.
So this is how lucrative it is to be a hitman these days!
"So-so." Born into a family worth eight hundred billion, Nangong Xiang wasn't like the uncultured commoner Shen Wangshu. In her eyes, it was nothing special. She looked at it for a while, nodded slightly, but still coughed and asked, "Do you still have money?" Building such a luxurious villa must have drained your savings, right? Nangong Xiang's gaze darted around for a moment, then she said vaguely, "Actually, I still have some money. If you don't have any, you can use mine." She quickly added, "I mean, I'm offering to support you!"
