Shen Tianheng signaled Meng Ling to take the gift to the old lady.

"Madam, this is a gift we specially prepared for you. Please accept it."

The old lady said coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need for gifts."

Shen Tianheng had no choice but to say, "Madam, if Xing Ruo doesn't live here, where does she live? She went back with Jing Yan a few days ago and I didn't hear her mention moving out."

"Of course she lives in the house my eldest grandson gave her. My eldest grandson said that she didn't even have her own room at her mother's house, so he gave her a big villa, and the young couple went to live in the big villa."

Meng Ling quickly said, "Madam, that's not the case. Xing Ruo is not at home, and her sister just stayed there for a few days. The room has been cleaned up now."

She said this before gently squeezing her daughter's arm.

Shen Xinyan also quickly said, "Hello, old lady, I am Xinyan. I stayed in my sister's room for a few days because there were cockroaches in the room I lived in.

I was killing cockroaches those days, and my sister happened to come back. She went upstairs and saw some misunderstandings. I wanted to marry your eldest grandson to bring good luck.

But my sister just came back from the countryside and said she didn’t want to live in the Shen family, so she begged my father to let her marry here instead. I am the granddaughter-in-law that your Li family wants to marry.”

The big villa originally belonged to her. Once she gets this marriage back, she will drive Shen Xingruo away!

Steward Lin was watching the performance of the stepdaughter of the Shen family carefully from behind. She was like the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, always good at turning the tables!

The old lady's face became more serious than before: "So what is your purpose today?"

Shen Tianheng said, "The main reason we came here today is to tell the old lady that we plan to take Xingruo back and let Xinyan come to the Li family.

She is the most suitable person for Mr. Li. She has received a high level of education since she was a child and is a real rich lady. As for Xing Ruo,

She grew up in the countryside, has little knowledge, is vulgar and unpresentable, and is unworthy of a man like Mr. Li."

This time it was Sister Lin's turn to stare with eyes wide open. Is there any biological father who would say this to his daughter?

Shen Xinyan is his daughter, so does that mean Shen Xingruo is not his daughter?

The old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter-in-law Shen Xingruo. No wonder she was always in a bad mood whenever she talked about the Shen family. She was unlucky to have such a father.

It was not worth getting angry at such a person, so the old lady said calmly:

"I only know that after Xing Ruo married my eldest grandson, he became better and better, so it is obvious who is the most suitable person for him.

I only recognize Xing Ruo as my granddaughter-in-law. Please don’t speak ill of my granddaughter-in-law in front of me, Mr. Shen. Otherwise, you are speaking ill of my Li family. The Li family will not let you go. Steward Lin, please send the guest away!"

Steward Lin said respectfully, "Yes, old lady."

Then he immediately stepped forward and held out his hand: "Please!"

Shen Tianheng finally entered the Li family, unwilling to leave, and did not stand up, but said shamelessly:

"Madam, since Mr. Li likes Xing Ruo, we won't force it. We should give us the betrothal gifts that Steward Lin came to ask for back. We can't send our daughter away for nothing, right?"

The old lady looked down upon Shen Tianheng's shamelessness even more, and sneered, "The betrothal gift has all been given to Xing Ruo as a dowry.

I think she is also pitiful. She came from the countryside penniless and was kicked out of the house by her own father. Our man’s family couldn’t bear to see this.

I had no choice but to give her all the betrothal gifts as a dowry. I don't think Mr. Shen would argue with his daughter about this small amount of betrothal gifts.

After all, you didn't raise her for many years. I heard her say that when she was a child, she was either beaten or scolded at home. Even the servants lived a better life than her.

It's so pitiful. I don't know if her biological mother would come to find you in the middle of the night if she knew about it. You should leave my house as soon as possible. Xingruo will just need us to love her in the future. She doesn't need her parents' home."

After the old lady finished speaking, she said to Sister Lin, "Sister Lin, help me go back and rest. I am really exhausted from talking so much to irrelevant people. Steward Lin, please send the guests away!"

Sister Lin stepped forward and supported the old lady's arm: "Old lady, slow down, I will help you go back and rest."

Steward Lin asked the man to leave again: "Please come in, Mr. Shen. Do you want me to call the bodyguard in?"

Shen Tianheng was so choked by the old lady's words that he could hardly raise his head. In his heart, he blamed Shen Xingruo, that damn girl, for telling everything to the Li family and not caring about the Shen family's reputation at all.

After being repeatedly ordered to leave by Li Jian, he had no choice but to leave with Meng Ling and Shen Xinyan.

If I am really thrown out by the bodyguards, I will lose all my face and dignity.

As for Shen Xingruo, we can only find out where she lives now and see her in person before we can make plans.

As long as he doesn't give her Tang Chuxin's ashes, she will listen to him obediently.

When Shen Xinyan left, she was still reluctant and kept shouting:

"Madam, don't listen to what Shen Xingruo said. She was lying to you. When she just came back from the countryside, my father gave her one million."

Unfortunately, no one heard her howling. Butler Lin personally watched people leave the Li family's gate, and only returned home with peace of mind after the gate was closed.

This family is really despicable. It's hard for the eldest young lady to suffer so much in that family.

The old lady returned to her room and made a video call with her granddaughter-in-law.

He told Shen Xingruo everything that the Shen family had done just now.

"Grandma, Shen Tianheng will not give me my mother's ashes easily. Last time I went back to the Shen family, I made a scene but still couldn't get my mother's ashes back.

Maybe he still wants to use my mother's ashes to control me. Anyway, don't believe anything he says."

Today is Sunday and Li Jingyan did not go to work. When Shen Xingruo was video chatting with the old lady, he had just come out of the shower. He had just cooked and he couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil.

He came out in his pajamas and dried his hair. When he saw Shen Xingruo talking to her grandmother on the phone, he came over and kissed her before greeting her grandmother: "Grandma, have you eaten?"

"Not yet, get ready to eat. Are you used to living in the new house?"

The old lady felt very relieved to see the loving relationship between the young couple. Her eldest grandson finally had a wife and no longer had to live alone.

"It's a habit. Xingruo likes it here very much. Grandma, please go and eat. Xingruo and I also want to eat."

"Okay, let's talk next time. Let's go eat."

After the old lady hung up the video call, Shen Xingruo pushed Li Jingyan and asked, "Why did you suddenly kiss me just now?"
