Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Mianmian, why did you drink so much?"

He went over and hugged Shen Mian. People around looked over, and Lu Jingchen smiled at everyone and said, "She Mian must have been so happy to see his little brother get engaged that she drank too much."

The group smiled and nodded: "So this is Young Master Shen. We heard he's already engaged to Young Master Lu. When can we attend your wedding?"

Lu Jingchen felt a little embarrassed being called "Young Master Lu"—he was hardly a young master anymore—but he still forced a smile and said:

"We'll have to wait for Mianmian's consent. He's had too much to drink, so please excuse me for a moment." He carried Shen Mian, who was about to vomit, upstairs from the back and went to the rest room.

Shen Yan's men have already followed them to make sure they don't cause any trouble.

On stage, Akahoshi gently held Shen Yu's hand as they cut the cake and poured champagne together, amidst enthusiastic applause from the audience.

They set the wedding date for next spring, the season of growth and Shen Yu's favorite season.

Chi Xing is now Shen Yu's fiancé, but this is not the first time everyone has heard his name.

After contracting several hills in Lihua Village, Chixing first planted a batch of easy-to-harvest medicinal herbs. With Shen Yiming's connections, Chixing quickly registered a medicinal herb company in Beijing and established business dealings with the Jing family, a renowned family of medicinal herb makers.

With the backing of the Shen, Wei, and Jing families, no one present dared to underestimate this young man who had just arrived in Beijing and was already engaged to Shen Yu.

After the engagement banquet ended and all the guests left, Shen Yu noticed that his older brother's expression was not good, so he asked in confusion, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Shen Yan glanced upstairs, a cold smile curving his lips: "Lu Jingchen tried to lure someone up just now."

"What? They...Xiao Mian and him up there?" Wei Qiu, dressed in an elegant cheongsam, looked grim.

They had already told Shen Mian to find an opportunity to break off his engagement with Lu Jingchen, and that they wouldn't give him much in the future. If he behaved himself, he could still live a good life.

But this person seems to have always resented them. Shen Mian is their biological child. Even if there are things in the dream, Shen Yan can't really kill him.

He didn't want his parents to be sad, and Shen Mian had been behaving himself for the past six months. As long as he didn't cause trouble in front of Shen Yu, Shen Yan didn't intend to interfere.

Lu Jingchen and Shen Mian had been in a cold war for almost half a year. No one knew what Lu Jingchen said to Shen Mian, but when the two came down from the lounge, Shen Mian's neck was covered with red marks.

Seeing that the Shen family was all there, Lu Jingchen and Shen Mian immediately said they wanted to get married.

Wei Qiu looked displeased: "Xiao Mian, are you sure you want to marry Lu Jingchen?"

Lu Jingchen is now almost penniless, and besides, he used to pursue Shen Yu, but now he's about to marry Shen Mian. Wei Qiu just doesn't like him.

Shen Mian thought they were going to stop her from having a happy life, so she held Lu Jingchen's hand tightly: "Mom, I'm an adult now. Besides, Shen Yu can be with... with Chi Xing, so why can't I be with Lu Jingchen?"

He instinctively wanted to call him an idiot, but immediately changed his mind when he met Shen Yu's indifferent gaze. He knew in his heart that Shen Yu was not someone he could mess with now.

Everyone in the family likes Shen Yu, so he can't openly fight with Shen Yu, otherwise his older brother will kick him out.

Shen Yu initially didn't want to engage, but when he mentioned Chi Xing, Shen Yu immediately retorted:

“My Chixing is very good. He owns a medicinal herb mountain and can drive the economic development of his hometown. He sells medicinal herbs from all the surrounding villages, including Lihua Village. He also has his own company in Beijing. It’s only a matter of time before he catches up with the Lu family.”

After saying that, Shen Yu seemed to remember something and raised her eyebrows: "No, Young Master Lu has already gone bankrupt. My Chixing has already surpassed him."

He kept calling him "my Akahoshi," which made Shen Qing jealous, so she secretly tugged at his sleeve. Akahoshi grinned from ear to ear.

Shen Yan felt a little heartbroken upon hearing this, but he comforted himself, saying it was okay, Chi Xing was an adopted son-in-law of their family, no, it was his younger brother who married Chi Xing.

The two elders were already used to the two of them being affectionate; they thought it was good for the child to be affectionate, as they were happy to see the child happy and joyful.

They simply looked down on Lu Jingchen, always feeling that Lu Jingchen had ulterior motives for approaching Shen Mian.

250 said to Chixing: "They probably haven't dreamt of Shen Mian's ending yet, they might only have dreamt of their own ending, so Shen Yan probably won't refuse, right?"

Chixing watched the scene unfold, casually grabbing a small cake and popping it into her mouth. She remarked, "Probably. Even if Shen Yan knew, he wouldn't stop it."

To put it bluntly, Shen Mian was a stranger to the Shen brothers. In other wealthy families, having more people meant having more people to share the inheritance.

The Shen family is already considered good; Shen Yan even gave him a share of the assets.

As expected, when Wei Qiu looked at the brothers, Shen Yan and Shen Qing shared the same opinion: Shen Mian could marry if she wanted to.

Shen Yan stared at Lu Jingchen and said, "We won't stop you two from being so in love, but don't even think about asking the Shen family for help with the Lu family's affairs. Otherwise, I'll suspect that Young Master Lu is with Shen Mian for some ulterior motive."

"Big brother, how could you do this? Ah Chen just made a mistake in judgment for a moment, how can you deny him?" Shen Mian stood in front of Lu Jingchen and confronted her family like a protective rooster.

Wei Qiu laughed and said coldly, "Fine, since he's so capable, our Shen family won't interfere with your wedding. If you want to get married, then go ahead and get married."

With the head of the family speaking, Shen Yiming stood beside his wife, silently supporting her.

A month later, the wedding was held at the hotel.

It was the familiar banquet again. Chi Xing pulled Shen Yu to his side, and Shen Yu laughed as she added food to his plate, saying, "It's like I'm the one abusing you."

Chi Xing took a bite of lobster meat and whispered, "Lu Jingchen has invested all his last money in this. The Lu family will never have such a lavish feast again."

He fed Shen Yu a bite of appetizer, saying, "Eat less so you don't overeat. I'll eat more so I won't feel full."

Shen Yu almost spat out his food. He remembered that when Chi Xing was in the Heavenly Realm, he ate a whole roasted beast in one go. That beast was bigger than an elephant in this world, practically a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

He couldn't help but think that if Chi Xing really ate freely, Lu Jingchen would be ruined by his eating.

He leaned close to Akahoshi's ear and whispered, "You can only eat enough for three tables of food, otherwise they'll arrest you and start studying you."

The main problem is that this doesn't conform to the law of conservation of energy. If you can only eat without gaining weight, you're not even human anymore.

Akahoshi nodded: "I know, I won't eat too much."

I didn't live in the old world for nothing, so of course Akahoshi wouldn't expose himself.

Lu's parents gave a speech on stage, but Shen Yiming and Wei Qiu did not go up. They just sat in their seats with little smile on their faces.

On the contrary, Lu's parents repeatedly thanked Wei Qiu for raising Shen Mian well, leaving the guests present looking at each other in bewilderment.

Whether this person did it on purpose or is just plain stupid, everyone knows that Shen Mian is a child who was lost for many years. For her to say in public that she was well-raised is just plain idiotic.
