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

The elders all went downstairs, leaving the younger generation with the best time; otherwise, the younger generation wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy themselves with their presence.

Shen Xuening poured Zhang Qianwen a glass of juice and casually asked, "Qianwen, when are you and Zong Yuan planning to get married? I'm really looking forward to it too."

“We still have a long way to go.” Zhang Qianwen shook her head. “But I really want to get married, seeing how happy you are.”

Shen Xuening then suggested, "Then you two should discuss it and see if you can get married sooner."

"I won't bring up marriage on my own initiative." At this point, Zhang Qianwen suddenly asked, "Who proposed to you two?"

Shen Xuening truthfully replied, "Zizhou asked us when we could get married, and then we started discussing it and finally decided on the current date."

Zhang Qianwen shook her head, somewhat helplessly: "Your relationship is more natural than ours, so I can't say that."

Shen Xuening then advised, "You two haven't been dating as long as we have, so it's fine once you have more time. There's no rush."

Zhang Qianwen suddenly smiled and looked at Zhou Manjun: "Manjun, where are you and Yanfei?"

Zhou Manjun pointed at Lin Yanfei: "Ask him."

When Lin Yanfei saw that the criticism was directed at him, he immediately sat up straight and said seriously, "I'm available anytime, it depends on Manjun's wishes. But no matter how anxious I am, I have to wait until after you get married, otherwise it will be too busy if we meet at the same time."

Zhang Qianwen chimed in, "That's the truth."

Han Yifei teased, "Manjun, do you want to marry him?"

Lin Yanfei looked over expectantly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zhou Manjun said, "If his wedding is as grand as Xue Ning's, then I'm willing."

Zhuo Jinghao then kicked Lin Yanfei's foot under the table.

Lin Yanfei immediately replied, "It will definitely not be worse than Zizhou's. You can rest assured. Our Lin family still has a certain amount of wealth."

Zhuo Jinghao patted Lin Yanfei on the shoulder: "Look at our Yanfei, he's so magnanimous. Manjun will definitely not suffer any grievances if she marries Yanfei."

Zhou Manjun raised her fist in threat: "He dares to make me suffer."

Lin Yanfei quickly said, "You're definitely overthinking it. My family likes you a lot, just as much as the Qin family likes Xue Ning. They're all on your side. If I dare to bully you, they'll be the first to come after me."

At this moment, Shen Xuening took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Ding Luyao and He Dantong, telling them who Wei Shuyu and Zhuo Jinghao were.

Wei Shuyu remained silent throughout, a quintessential aloof and handsome guy. He rarely spoke, except when it was something important, and he would only say a few words when he was with Qin Zizhou and the others.

Zhuo Jinghao is talkative, a sunny and handsome guy, very easy-going, and can get along with anyone.

The Lin, Wei, and Zhuo families are not as powerful as the Qin family, but they are still among the top families, with rich family backgrounds and businesses all over the world, making them quite formidable.

After reading the WeChat message Shen Xuening sent them, Ding Luyao and He Dantong didn't react at first, otherwise it would be too obvious. After a while, the two of them secretly began to sized up the two of them.

They were soldiers who trained regularly. They subtly observed each other without leaving a trace and quickly identified the two men.

Ding Luyao sent He Dantong a WeChat message: "Both are nice, which one do you like?"

He Dantong countered, "And you?"

Ding Luyao didn't hold back: "I like Wei Shuyu. I like the feeling of conquest. Wei Shuyu gives me the desire to conquer."

He Dantong laughed inwardly: "Perfect! I like Zhuo Jinghao. I like this kind of sunny, cheerful, and handsome guy. We have so much to talk about. That's what makes life interesting."

Ding Luyao joked, "Sister, you've already thought about settling down? Have you even thought of names for your kids?"

He Dantong's smile spread to her eyes: "It's not that bad. I'll go back and talk to my family. If there are no problems at home, then I'll prepare to make my move."

Ding Luyao chimed in, "Me too. My family has to see it first, otherwise it's no matter how much I like it."

He Dantong posted a helpless emoji: "Yeah, my family's resistance is too great. I don't want to fight back, so I'll ask my family's opinion first."

Ding Luyao sent a raised hand emoji: "Agreed".

The two reached an agreement.

Ding Luyao sent a WeChat message to Shen Xuening: "Xuening, I've taken a liking to Wei Shuyu, but I need to discuss it with my family."

He Dantong also sent a WeChat message to Shen Xuening: "I like Zhuo Jinghao, but I need to talk to my family first. Don't tell him yet. I'll discuss it with my family first and then tell you."

Shen Xuening understood their concerns and replied, "Okay."

Shen Baohong took his camera and filmed everywhere. This place was so beautiful. He was thinking of making a documentary about the proposal and giving it to Shen Xuening as a keepsake.

After finishing the photo shoot, I took another picture of everyone sitting at the table: "Beautiful!"

After the shoot, Shen Baohong asked, "Who wants to have a solo shoot? As Xifulai's go-to photographer, I'm sure the results won't disappoint you."

Everyone was amused.

Shen Wenxu raised his hand: "I want to take a picture."

The ginseng doll also said, "I want to take pictures too. Make sure they look handsome. If they don't look good, I don't want them."

Yin Yuwen also raised her hand: "Me too, it's been so long since I took a picture."

Shen Baohong readily agreed: "No problem."

Next, we'll take photos one by one, including group photos, such as Shen Xuening and Qin Zizhou, Lin Yanfei and Zhou Manjun. Lu Zongyuan isn't here, and Zhang Qianwen will take a solo photo, which we'll post on WeChat Moments later.

Shen Baohong took photos for an hour and a half, finally satisfying everyone: "Okay, we're done taking photos. Everyone can go back and rest now."

Sitting on the rooftop enjoying the night breeze was quite pleasant, and no one wanted to go back to their rooms, so they remained seated.

Seeing this, Shen Baohong asked, "Aren't you all leaving?"

"Wait a bit before you leave." Han Yifei waved to Shen Baohong, then patted the chair next to her. "You've been busy for so long, come and sit down."

Shen Baohong sat down and said, "It's so cool and comfortable here."

Qin Zizhou said, "We have ice cream, would you like some?"

The children shouted in unison, "Yes!"

The ginseng baby was curious about everything: "Can I have a really big one?"

"Of course, any size is fine," Qin Zizhou said generously. "What flavor do you prefer?"

The ginseng doll asked in return, "What flavors are available?"

Qin Zizhou handed the menu on the table to the ginseng doll: "Can you recognize all the words? It doesn't matter if you can't, you can look at the pictures. The pictures are just like the ice cream in real life."

"Thank you." The ginseng doll was quite polite, then took the menu and looked at it, finally choosing a vanilla ice cream.

Qin Zizhou asked Shen Xuening, "What flavor do you like?"

Shen Xuening said, "Taro."

"Then I'll have two taro ones, one for you and one for me." Qin Zizhou didn't like snacks, but since Shen Xuening was eating them, he was happy to join her.

Shen Xuening asked with a smile, "Zizhou, is this your first time eating ice cream?"

“That’s definitely not it,” Qin Zizhou retorted without hesitation, looking at Shen Xuening and asking with a smile, “What do you mean by that?”

Shen Xuening casually said, "It means exactly what it says. I don't think you would eat ice cream."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qin Zizhou finally spoke up: "To be honest, if I eat it today, it will be the second time I've ever eaten ice cream."

Wei Shuyu finally spoke: "Everyone's in the same boat, this is my second time too."

Ding Luyao's eyes lit up; the voice was quite pleasant.

Zhuo Jinghao leaned back in Wei Shuyu's chair and patted Wei Shuyu's shoulder casually: "When was the first time?"

Wei Shuyu recalled: "When I was a child, I was a few years old. I saw those children eating it and it looked delicious, so I tried it. I never ate it again after that."

Tao Mian couldn't help but ask, "Ice cream is expensive, and most kids can't afford it even if they want to. Why don't you guys eat it even though you have the money?"

Wei Shuyu shook his head and explained, "Because it's bad for our health, our family won't give it to us, and it's no use even if we cry and make a fuss."

Tao Mian clicked his tongue in surprise. It seemed that living in a wealthy family wasn't all that perfect: "Is it really that heartless?"

Wei Shuyu emphasized: "This is not heartlessness, it is family education. We are all raised with strict family education. If we disobey, we will be beaten."

Tao Mian was even more surprised: "Huh? Do families like yours also hit their children?"

Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "When we get beaten, we can't run around like you guys. We don't dare to run. We just kneel on the ground and endure it."

Tao Mian looked on with disbelief: "It's too cruel."

Wei Shuyu shrugged, seemingly unconcerned: "Everyone does it this way."

Tao Mian looked at Lin Yanfei, curious about their childhood: "Brother Yanfei, were you one too?"

Lin Yanfei nodded helplessly, still feeling pain when he thought about it, and dared not recall it: "Yes, my family was very strict. We couldn't make mistakes, or we would be physically punished."

Tao Mian then asked, "Have you ever been physically punished?"

Lin Yanfei smiled awkwardly: "Yes, but only a few times. There's nothing I can do. Everyone has a few rebellious moments in their life."

Tao Mian shook his head, giving a serious assessment: "I never would have guessed you could be rebellious."

Lin Yanfei could only say, "You can't judge a book by its cover."

As they talked, everyone started sharing embarrassing stories from their childhood; there were just too many funny little tidbits to recount.

As they chatted, time flew by, and before they knew it, it was already 10 p.m. There was a ceremony the next day, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

……

Shen Xuening returned to her room, washed up, and lay down on the bed. She was still somewhat dazed about the engagement tomorrow.

The events of her previous life seem very distant, but every time she thinks about them, they feel very close to her. However, Qin Zizhou has always given her a feeling of closeness, that he has always loved her, and that she feels very safe.

"I never thought I'd have the chance to marry Zizhou, it's unbelievable."

"Fortunately, I came to my senses, otherwise I would probably have died a violent death just like in my previous life."

"I must live my life well in this lifetime..."

Shen Xuening spoke to herself in her heart, finally exhaled a long breath, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
