Yan Qiao didn't even need to do anything; Song Yinsheng and Yan Shu naturally protected her, fearing that she would be harmed in the slightest.
This kind of treatment was once hers too.
Yan Yaoyao closed her eyes, feeling extremely resentful.
"Mom and Dad, you don't need to do this on purpose for me."
Song Yinsheng was taken aback. He had just come in and hadn't heard Yan Yaoyao's words, so he naturally didn't know what she was talking about.
Yan Shu smiled. "Buying a vase was something I'd been planning for a while, it wasn't really for you to see, you're not that important. As for my balcony, I don't grow sunflowers, I grow roses now, Qiaoqiao likes them very much, she often reads books about growing flowers with me, and looks forward to the flowers blooming with me. I used to grow sunflowers, but how many times have you actually gone to the balcony to look at them?"
"As for this massage chair, it's been broken for a long time. I told you to find the warranty card and have someone come and repair it, but you didn't listen, did you? Yao Yao, this house holds many memories of us together, that's undeniable. Nineteen years! My heart isn't made of stone; no one can easily forget. Fortunately, we still have a long time ahead of us. We will quietly rebuild our memories until we fill all the blanks in the future. Just as you said, we'll set things right."
Yan Qiao smiled. "Yan Yaoyao, you really don't need to compare yourself to me. We are two different people. I have never thought of replacing you. I have my own place in this family and do not need to exist in place of you. I actually pity you for your ridiculous competitive spirit. Chen Lan is not good to you, is she? I know her too well. She has a scale in her heart and she can weigh everyone's worth very clearly. Whether she is good to you or not depends on whether you have any value to her."
Since the incident following Yan Yaoyao and Shen Zhou's breakup was exposed, Chen Lan will surely reveal her true colors.
Compared to Chen Lan, Yan Yaoyao couldn't help but miss the warmth that Yan Shu and Song Yinsheng had given her.
Yan Shu shook her head. "I won't keep you for dinner today. Qiao Qiao said it well: if you can avoid contacting each other in the future, then don't."
Yan Yaoyao was hit where it hurt, and suddenly sneered, "Do you think anyone cares about contacting you! I am the daughter of the Yan family. After I marry Brother Shen Zhou, there will be so much wealth and glory waiting for me in the future. Who cares about acknowledging you!"
She suddenly stood up. "Brother Chenzhou, let's go!"
She felt like she was going through torture to stay there for even a second longer.
From that moment on, she completely severed ties with her parents.
Yan Shu and Song Yinsheng looked at each other, feeling a sense of melancholy, but mostly a sense of relief.
One should not be too greedy; this advice also applies to them.
...
Yan Yaoyao couldn't wait to tell Chen Lan about her reconciliation with Shen Zhou.
“My brother Shen Zhou and I have decided to visit Grandpa Shen tomorrow to announce this good news. The marriage agreement between the Shen and Yan families will proceed as planned, and I believe Grandpa Shen will be very happy.”
Chen Lan did indeed do a complete 180-degree turn, hugging her and practically calling her his darling.
"Mom's Yao Yao is really something. Since you're coming to visit, you can't be impolite. Mom will prepare a gift for you personally."
This made Yan Yaoyao feel a little relieved, and then she remembered what Yan Qiao had said, and it was indeed true.
Chen Lan has her own yardstick for judging who she treats well, based on whether that person has any value to her.
They can change their expression faster than anyone else.
Thinking about this made her feel uneasy again.
The next day, she brought the gifts that Chen Lan had carefully prepared to her door.
Yan Yaoyao stood proudly at the Shen family's gate once again.
In the past, she wasn't even allowed to enter the door, but now, you all have to obediently open the door and let me in.
"Brother Chenzhou, let's go."
Chen Zhou hummed in agreement and took her hand as they went inside.
Because Shen Zhou had given prior notice, the entire Shen family was present.
Even Chen Wu, who was extremely busy with work, stayed home and waited for them to come to his door.
Yan Yaoyao felt increasingly smug and called out to everyone in turn.
Zhou Yuanxi smiled and said, "Dad, these two children have decided to make this a good relationship. When I have some free time, I will choose a good day to go to the Yan family to propose marriage."
The old man nodded indifferently.
"Since you've decided to spend your life together, you have to temper your tempers, work on each other, be tolerant of one another, and live a good life together."
Shen Zhou nodded. "Yes."
That was all.
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Zhou Yuanxi winked at Shen Qunbo, wanting him to bring up the matter of shares.
He pretended not to see it, and I don't know what he was thinking.
Since he wouldn't say anything, Zhou Yuanxi had to do it herself.
"Dad, since Shen Zhou and Yao Yao are getting married, the wedding arrangements for both the Shen and Yan families will proceed as planned. Shouldn't you transfer the shares back?"
The old man raised an eyebrow and calmly asked, "What shares?"
"The 5% of the group shares you gave to Shen Wu last time should have been given to Shen Zhou," Zhou Yuanxi said anxiously.
Xu Ran and Shen Wu exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Just as I thought."
This mother and son do everything for profit, which is truly disgusting.
Shen Qunbo frowned and rebuked, "What are you saying? Did you get married for our sake? So you're asking us for benefits just because your son is getting married?"
Zhou Yuanxi sneered, "My son? Is he only my son? Shen Qunbo, I know that in your heart, Shen Zhou is inferior to Shen Wu in every way, but he is also your biological son. You can't be so biased!"
Shen Qunbo scoffed, too lazy to pay her any attention.
The old man said, "When did I ever promise you that I would give the shares to Shen Zhou as long as he fulfilled the marriage contract? This whole thing has been nothing but your conjecture from beginning to end! Or is it that Shen Zhou didn't expect this to threaten me?"
Shen Zhou quickly said, "Grandpa, you've misunderstood. Yao Yao and I are truly in love, and it has nothing to do with the shares."
The old man nodded. "Very good, as long as you understand. The Shen family has raised you and given you more than you've ever given. There are some things I can give you, but you can't ask for them. If you harbor resentment because of this, nothing will change."
Shen Zhou lowered his head in a disheveled manner. "Grandpa, I have always been grateful to the Shen family. How could I hold a grudge? My mother just misunderstood for a moment."
The old man glanced at Yan Yaoyao, stood up and said, "I have a fishing trip with Lao Pei, so we won't be eating at home today."
Zhou Yuanxi's face turned pale. "Dad, this is Yaoyao's first time visiting. How can you not be here?"
"The ugly daughter-in-law is meeting her in-laws. With you two here, isn't that enough?"
With that, he left.
Chen Wu glanced at the time. "Dad, I have to go to a meeting at the company today, so I won't be eating at home."
Xu Ran: "I've made plans with a friend, let's go together."
They hadn't originally intended to stay for this meal.
Yan Yaoyao gripped her skirt tightly as the group of people left one after another, like a resounding slap across her face.
She was too proud too soon, and the sense of loss made it impossible for her to hide her ugly expression.
