Faced with various speculations and slanders against Jing Weiyang online, Shen Jianian, the former chairman of the Shen Group who had been retired for many years, suddenly gave an interview and defended his granddaughter-in-law in every way.
"You say my granddaughter-in-law's family background is bad? Then does that third-rate wealthy family, the Ning family, deserve her? Weiyang is my granddaughter-in-law, chosen by me personally, and it has nothing to do with her family background."
"Why did I choose her? Of course, it's because she's beautiful, cute, kind, sensible, and obedient. But most importantly, she saved me when I fainted. From the first moment I saw her, I thought she was a great girl and could be my granddaughter-in-law..."
In the living room, Jing Weiyang munched on an apple while listening to the old man's effusive praise of her in the video.
She only learned the truth about the marriage from Shen Yu upon arriving.
It turns out that the granddaughter-in-law the old man initially chose was actually her. The reason was that he fainted on the roadside again and she saved him. However, Jing Weiyang had no recollection of this, and she guessed that it might have been done by the original owner of the body.
Later, because the "unapproachable" Crown Prince Shen once again rejected the blind date arranged by his family, and even said that he was "DINK" (Double Income No Kids), the Shen family was furious but couldn't help but worry. Even Madam Shen began to compromise, saying that as long as her son was willing to get married, she could consider it even if the woman's family background was not good.
The old man also thought of the beautiful girl who had once saved him. He had a strange confidence that his grandson would agree to marry her once he saw her, so he sent people to look for her.
The young master of the Shen family is choosing a concubine!
The news sent shockwaves through the upper class, with many families with daughters eager to send their daughters directly to the young master's bed.
The Ning family was a little luckier than others because Ning's father learned that Old Master Shen was searching for a girl, so he followed suit. As it turned out, he actually found the original owner of the body first and used money to help her save her mother, becoming her benefactor.
Originally, Ning's father planned to switch the engagement with his own daughter, but who knew that Ning Luoyao would be so stupid as to run away halfway for "true love"! Seeing that the duck that was about to be caught had flown away, he had no choice but to let the original owner take the place.
What was even more unexpected was that the aloof Crown Prince Shen fell in love with Jing Weiyang at their first meeting, and the two got married not long after. He couldn't play any tricks anymore, so he simply used the name of the Shen family's marriage alliance to seek more practical benefits.
This is why, despite the Ning family's profit-driven nature, they never bother Jing Weiyang—they're afraid their charade will be exposed!
When the reporter repeated, "It seems Mr. Shen is very satisfied with this blind date," Jing Weiyang looked up at the man beside her and affirmed:
"I think she's right, you were just lusting after my beauty!"
Shen Yu lifted his eyelids and gave her a cool look, without saying a word.
Jing Weiyang inexplicably chickened out, threw the fruit pits she had just finished eating into the trash can, then picked out a big, round grape from the plate, peeled it, and snuggled up to him sweetly to coax him:
"Honey, have some grapes!"
Shen Yu looked down and met a sweet smiling face. His heart melted instantly, but he couldn't help but want to tease her.
So he continued with a cold face, "I don't want to eat."
Jing Weiyang's smile froze, and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind: What's going on? Why does Shen Yu's voice sound so ominous?
She thought of Madam Shen's cold, urging remarks about having children last night.
Oh no, this jerk is definitely trying to anger her!
No way, she absolutely won't take the blame for this!
Her survival instinct told her she should do or say something to cheer Shen Yu up.
Her dark eyes darted around, and she squeezed herself into Chen Yu's arms, nuzzling her face against his neck and acting coquettishly, her voice even softer and sweeter:
"Honey, eat up, eat up, someone peeled this especially for you~"
Shen Yu froze. He had only meant to tease her, but now it looked like he was torturing himself.
He was about to eat it, but before he could even open his mouth, the grape rolled off the girl's fair fingertips.
Both of them lowered their heads at the same time—
On the snow-white plush sofa, the girl's long black hair was draped over her face, her red lips and fair skin made her look both delicate and alluring.
Her moist eyes blinked, her innocent appearance making Shen Yu's heart flutter wildly.
Jing Weiyang pouted and glared at him: "What are you doing? It's so dirty~"
She was referring to the grapes inside the clothes.
Shen Yu, however, only stared at those soft, red lips, his dark eyes revealing a madness...
"you--"
Jing Weiyang suddenly realized something: Holy crap, that's not what she meant!

The reactions of netizens after watching the interview were very genuine:
Winning over the crown prince might not guarantee marriage into a wealthy family, but winning over the emperor emeritus certainly would!
So a saying started circulating online: If you want to win over your crush, you can win over his grandfather first!
Some people have even started a topic on Weibo specifically to study strange topics such as "how to win the favor of the elderly" or "how to casually save a wealthy old man on the street".
If, after Mr. Shen's interview, some still maliciously speculated that Jing Wei had used some kind of cunning to deceive people, then when the chairman and his wife also stated to reporters with expressionless faces, "My daughter-in-law is not someone outsiders can bully,"...
Those people had to admit: Jing Weiyang was really favored in the Shen family!
