The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

Aunt smiled and said, "As long as it doesn't affect their studies, I won't bother with them anymore."

Shen Xuening said, "They would be very happy to hear that."

The aunt sighed, "Once the child has been abducted, there's not much you can do about it. Sometimes being too strict doesn't necessarily lead to good results; it's better to be more lenient."

Shen Xuening chimed in: "Yes, it's better to guide than to block, especially when it comes to children's issues."

The aunt seemed to have figured something out: "From now on, I will listen to the children's opinions more and be their friend, so that they won't become more rebellious."

Shen Xuening doesn't have children yet and doesn't know what it's like to be a mother, so she can only agree: "Auntie is right."

As they were talking, the three children of the Yin family, Zhang Qianwen, Lu Zongyuan, Zhou Manjun, Lin Yanfei, Wei Shuyu, Zhuo Jinghao, and Zhang Zongyang, came over together.

Shen Xuening and her aunt looked at them in surprise.

As they approached, Shen Xuening asked the question that had been on her mind: "Did you happen to be on the same flight?"

Zhang Qianwen hugged Shen Xuening, as they always did whenever they met: "Yeah, but we only found out when we got off the plane, so we came out together."

"That's quite a coincidence." Shen Xuening hugged Zhou Manjun again. "I'll be going to City A in a few days, so you don't need to come."

Zhang Qianwen said generously, "How can that be? It's such an important moment in your life, we must be by your side."

Shen Xuening was touched: "Thank you."

Zhang Zongyang walked over and said, "Sister Xuening, seeing you hugging them makes me want to hug them too."

Zhang Qianwen immediately pulled Zhang Zongyang aside: "You're a boy, what are you doing hugging a girl? Stand aside, you have no manners."

Zhang Zongyang was quite afraid of Zhang Qianwen, so he could only take a step back: "Sister Xuening, look at my sister, she's so fierce."

Shen Xuening smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, let's go back first, rest for a bit, and then have a big lunch."

Zhang Zongyang got excited: "Sister Xuening, my sister told me that you have a lot of delicious food here, is that true?"

Shen Xuening said, "It's definitely true. You'll see when you go over there in a bit. I can arrange a little guide for you, how about that?"

Zhang Zongyang took a step to Shen Xuening's other side and whispered, "Sister Xuening is so good, even better than my own sister."

Shen Xuening was amused: "If you keep saying that, you'll get punched again."

Zhang Zongyang puffed out his chest: "Don't worry, I'm strong and healthy. She hit me because her hand hurts. I'm fine."

Shen Xuening said, "You're so cheeky."

Zhang Zongyang laughed instead: "Haha."

Zhang Qianwen raised her fist: "You can try and see if my fist is harder or your physique is stronger. You're really getting out of control if you don't discipline people for three days. You can't even tell the difference between a king and a queen."

Seeing everyone looking at them, Zhang Zongyang quickly pleaded, "Sister, there are so many people here, please at least give me some face."

Zhang Qianwen didn't say anything more: "Hmph."

Upon arriving at the parking lot, the aunt helped the three children into the car. There was one seat left, so she asked, "Is there enough room for you over there?"

Shen Xuening said, "My van can seat seven people, just right."

Aunt said, "Then we'll be going now."

Shen Xuening waved: "Bye-bye."

Aunt drove off first, and Shen Xuening told everyone to get in the car. They followed, and an hour and a half later, both cars arrived home safely.

The three siblings from the Yin family already had accommodations, so Shen Xuening didn't need to arrange anything. But Zhang Qianwen and the others did need accommodations, so Shen Xuening took them to a courtyard house behind the guesthouse: "I've arranged this courtyard for you. Take a look and see if there's anything you don't like."

Zhang Qianwen immediately said, "There's no way we wouldn't like the place you arranged. Let's go rest. Call us when it's noon."

Everyone knew Shen Xuening was busy, so they didn't take up too much of her time.

Shen Xuening said, "Call me if anything happens."

"Okay." Zhang Qianwen gently pushed Shen Xuening out the door. "You go about your business and don't worry about us. We're all grown up now, we don't need you to worry about us."

Shen Xuening turned around: "Fine, since this isn't your first time here, I'll just leave you be."

"Don't worry about it." Zhang Qianwen waved her hand. "Go and do your thing."

Shen Xuening walked over.

Zhang Qianwen, like a big sister, said: "There are many rooms here, so please choose one to rest."

Zhang Zongyang looked around curiously: "It feels like time travel, quite novel."

Looking at her childish younger brother, Zhang Qianwen for some reason thought of Shen Wenxu, so she said, "I'll introduce you to Shen Wenxu later, you'll definitely like him."

Zhang Zongyang opened his eyes wide with curiosity: "Who is Shen Wenxu?"

Zhang Qianwen said, "He is Xue Ning's younger brother."

“Alright,” Zhang Zongyang said eagerly, “Why don’t you introduce us now? I’m quite bored by myself.”

Zhang Qianwen was a little tired: "Wait a minute, you rest for a while, and we'll introduce you two when we have lunch together."

"Alright." Zhang Zongyang said no more, chose a room, and went to rest with his suitcase.

Zhang Qianwen pointed to the room next door and said to Lu Zongyuan, "Go to the room next to mine."

Lu Zongyuan, dressed in a light blue suit, was handsome and a man of few words. He was very composed and wore frameless glasses, giving him a gentle and refined appearance. "Okay, I'll stay next door to you."

The two of them went into the room.

Zhou Manjun and Lin Yanfei each chose a room and went to rest.

Wei Shuyu and Zhuo Jinghao exchanged a glance, put their luggage in their rooms, and then went out together. They were there to help, not to have fun, so they dared not rest.

……

As Wei Shuyu walked, he observed his surroundings: "It's been a while since I've been here, and it feels like things have changed quite a bit."

Zhuo Jinghao nodded in agreement: "Yes, there are more flowers here, and it's more prosperous."

Wei Shuyu looked at Yongle, then at the plank road, and then at the temple on the mountaintop: "I feel like there are a lot more people now."

Zhuo Jinghao looked around and said, "Yes, I can feel it now. It's a bustling place."

Wei Shuyu exclaimed in admiration, "Xue Ning is really amazing. She started from scratch and transformed a remote mountain village into a tourist destination. She's beautiful, talented, and simply perfect."

Zhuo Jinghao joked, "What, you want to find someone like that too?"

Wei Shuyu was taken aback, then immediately said, "Then I don't want to get married in this lifetime."

Zhuo Jinghao laughed and said, "That's true. You can't find another person like Shen Xuening in the whole country. If you want to take her as a role model, you really can't find one."

Wei Shuyu only shows his true feelings in front of his best friends; otherwise, he is aloof: "Zizhou is getting married, and we are still single. When will our other half appear?"

Zhuo Jinghao said, "Looking at your detached and indifferent appearance, I thought you had no desires or wants."

Wei Shuyu retorted, "What are you talking about? I'm a normal person, okay?"

Zhuo Jinghao said, "Okay, okay, you're a normal person, then go find one."

Wei Shuyu retorted again: "Do you think it's like cabbage, something you can just find whenever you want? Doesn't fate also depend on luck?"

Zhuo Jinghao said, "Then take action! I heard your family is setting you up on blind dates, but you don't go."

Wei Shuyu shook his head: "I don't like relationships that are full of self-interest and calculation. I want a relationship like the one between Zizhou and Xuening."

Zhuo Jinghao said helplessly, "That's quite difficult."

Wei Shuyu has his own ideas: "We have to persevere even if it's difficult. Besides, if it's too easy, we won't cherish it."

Zhuo Jinghao sighed, "Sigh, it's tough for me too."

Wei Shuyu slapped Zhuo Jinghao on the back: "Haha, we're in the same boat."

……

Qin Zizhou's gentle voice came through the phone: "Xue Ning, I'll be here tomorrow."

Shen Xuening said gently, "I'll be waiting for you."

Qin Zizhou said, "Grandpa and Grandma will be coming, Mom and Dad will be coming, Second Aunt will be coming, Second Uncle needs to look after the company, so he won't be coming, and two of the Qin family's great-grandfathers will also be coming."

Shen Xuening asked in confusion, "Grandpa?"

Qin Zizhou explained, "Yes, they are from a collateral branch, but they are the oldest in terms of seniority. Grandpa still included them, as a way of showing you respect."

Shen Xuening said gratefully, "Grandpa has been very good to me."

Qin Zizhou smiled and said, "Grandpa likes you very much, and everyone in the family likes you very much too, but I like you the most."

Shen Xuening is now open to expressing her love: "I know, I like you the most too."

Qin Zizhou asked like a child wanting candy, "You have to always like me, you understand?"

"Of course, I will always love you." She cherished the deep affection from two lifetimes, and now that she had the chance, she would only treasure it.

Qin Zizhou was delighted to hear this: "Xue Ning, wait for me."

Shen Xuening responded emphatically, "Yes."

……

My maternal uncle's family.

The great-uncle was quite surprised when he heard this: "Ningning is getting engaged?"

Grandpa Shen said happily, "Yes, the groom's family will come to present the betrothal gifts tomorrow. Xue Ning said she'd like to invite all of you elders to have a meal together and make it more lively."

The great-uncle happily replied, "Okay, I'll definitely come tomorrow."

Grandpa Shen chuckled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you at home."

The eldest uncle and Grandpa Shen had a good relationship, and he said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite? We're all family, so make yourselves at home."

Grandpa Shen said, "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer. I still need to inform other relatives and friends."

"I'll see you off." The great-uncle escorted Grandpa Shen to the front gate and watched him leave. "Take care. This guy is so lucky to have such a wonderful granddaughter. He's the envy of everyone."

Auntie said, "Don't be so sour. They haven't forgotten us even though they've become successful. Our family members are all working for them, and they even came to invite people in person. If it were anyone else, they would probably be so arrogant. Don't even think about inviting them to your house."

The eldest uncle thought about it and said, "You're right. Now that we're successful, there are plenty of people who won't recognize us. The Shen family is considered lucky."

My great-aunt was very open-minded: "That's why we should be grateful when others are doing well."

The great-uncle nodded: "Then go and prepare some gifts, and take them with you tomorrow."

The eldest aunt said, "They have everything, but no geese. We'll just get them two big geese tomorrow. They probably won't care about anything else."

The eldest uncle said, "That's fine. Our geese are so good, they should like them."

"Hmm." My great-aunt went inside.
