The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Chapter 79: There is no mother-in-law.

Du Yuzhi stood at the door watching Wang Peng drive away in that luxurious Rolls-Royce, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, who was that man just now? I don't think I've ever seen him before. Why did he suddenly decide to come and see the old master and madam?" Wang Xiu asked, standing behind Du Yuzhi, puzzled.

Du Yuzhi didn't want the nanny to know too much, so she glared at her irritably and said, "Sister Wang, you're just a nanny in my family. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Get back to work."

One sentence left Wang Xiu speechless. If it weren't for the fact that the Shen family paid her more than others and there was a lot of extra money to be made, she would never bother working for such a filthy family. But in front of Du Yuzhi, she still flattered her and said, "Yes, Madam, I was just being nosy. I'll go get to work now."

Du Yuzhi quickly turned around and went back to her bedroom, eagerly taking out her phone to call Shen Changtian. "Hey, Changtian, things are almost settled. Han Zaicheng has agreed to the marriage with Yanran, but he wants to see her first before coming here. How's it going on your end? Have you gotten in touch with Yanran?"

Shen Changtian gets angry just thinking about it. He doesn't know how many times he called Shen Yanran, but he couldn't get through. Later, he realized that he might have been blocked.

He had someone buy him a new SIM card and called back, but as soon as he heard his voice, the caller hung up immediately, making him so angry he almost threw his phone away.

"Don't mention that heartless brat to me. She even dared to hang up on her father. She's a little beast who was born of a mother but not raised by one. If I had known she was such an unfilial child, I should have strangled her when she was born, so I wouldn't have to be angry with her!" Shen Changtian cursed into the phone, his face ashen.

Upon hearing that she couldn't reach Shen Yanran, Du Yuzhi worried that Han Zaicheng would hold a grudge against her. That old man, despite his less-than-ideal appearance, had terrifying eyes that seemed ready to kill at any moment. "Changtian, don't be angry. Let's talk this out. If Yanran doesn't answer your calls, she'll surely answer Dad's. After all, next Monday is his 70th birthday, such a joyous occasion. He definitely wants Yanran to come. Besides, I've already arranged to meet Han Zaicheng at his birthday banquet, and he's agreed. You see..."

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to gain easier access to the real estate industry and to use Shen Yanran's marriage to collect a hefty dowry, Shen Changtian wouldn't have bothered with his heartless and disgraced daughter.

"Alright, I know. I'll talk to Dad. Don't worry about it. Feifei and Gao Yufeng's wedding date has been set. Why not announce it to the public? Do we have to wait until she gets pregnant and people start to suspect something?" Shen Changtian frowned and gave several more instructions in a deep voice.

In fact, Du Yuzhi also found it strange. Gao Yufeng kept saying that he was truly in love with her daughter Feifei and wanted to marry her, but so far she hadn't even met his parents. She had only heard him say that they had set a wedding date, but he didn't make their relationship public. It was indeed a bit strange.

It seems she needs to call Shen Yufei again later to ask. "Okay, I understand, honey. I'll call and ask Feifei what's going on in a bit."

Shen Changtian suddenly said on the phone, "Oh right, there's also Dad's birthday banquet. You need to hurry up and prepare everything. I've invited quite a few important people from Haicheng. It has to be a grand affair, and we can't let him down."

"Don't you trust me to handle things? I've been organizing Dad's birthday celebrations for so many years, and they'll only get more and more extravagant, guaranteed to make you proud. It's just that the money you gave me might not be left much. How about you transfer me another 500,000?" Du Yuzhi made a promise, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes as she tried to get some more money from Shen Changtian to deposit into her private account.

"Didn't I give you a million before? Why do you want another 500,000?" Shen Changtian doesn't have much money left to use, otherwise he wouldn't have abandoned his family business to get into real estate.

“Husband, you don’t know the cost of living until you’re in charge of the household. Prices are getting higher every year. I’ve already spent almost half of it on imported food and wine. We also have to hire people to put on shows. All of this adds up to almost a million. And then there’s the birthday gift we prepared for Dad…” Du Yuzhi deliberately exaggerated everything tenfold, convinced that Shen Changtian knew nothing and wouldn’t know how to check the accounts.

Shen Changtian was indeed getting impatient and immediately interrupted Du Yuzhi, "Alright, I'm too lazy to listen to this nonsense. I'll have my secretary transfer another 50 yuan to you later. Make sure to make Dad's birthday celebration beautiful, you hear me?"

Du Yuzhi knew when to stop, "No problem, I promise to complete the task. Honey, you're busy, I won't bother you anymore."

Not long after she ended her call with Shen Changtian, she immediately called Shen Yufei again.

As soon as the call connected, Du Yuzhi said excitedly, "Feifei, let me tell you, Shen Yanran is doomed this time!"

Shen Yufei was having dinner with Gao Yufeng when she suddenly heard Du Yuzhi's words. Her face lit up with joy, and then she looked at Gao Yufeng, who was eating across from her, and said softly, "Okay, Mom, I know. Feng-gege and I are eating now. Can we talk to you later?"

Du Yuzhi remembered Shen Changtian's instructions and quickly asked, "You're having dinner with Gao Yufeng? That's perfect. You should hurry up and ask about your relationship, when you're going to meet Gao's family, and then announce the marriage. Your dad is getting anxious."

Fearing that it would arouse Gao Yufeng's suspicion, Shen Yufei casually replied and hung up the phone.

Gao Yufeng raised his head slightly, the knife and fork in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Did your aunt want to see you?"

Shen Yufei smiled gently on her charming face and replied, "Well... Mom said that next Monday is Grandpa's birthday, and she hopes that you and I can go back and spend time with him soon."

Gao Yufeng's eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, next Monday is your grandfather's birthday. I almost forgot. I'll have my assistant go to the nearby shopping mall to pick out a nice gift for him in a bit."

He has been busy with company affairs lately, and for some reason, the cooperation with Shengtian International, which was going well, was suddenly called off. He has sent countless people to inquire about it, but there has been no response. This has caused his company to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in business. He still doesn't know how to explain this to the board of directors and can only try his best to contact other companies for cooperation.

Naturally, they forgot about Old Master Shen's birthday.

"No need, Brother Feng. I've already prepared Grandpa's gift. You can give it to him with me then. It's just that Grandpa kept asking me when I was going to meet your family. I was afraid he'd overthink it, so I said you'd bring your aunt and uncle to visit him on his birthday... I know it was wrong of me to lie, but Brother Feng, Grandpa is so old, I really don't want him to worry about me..." Shen Yufei had mentioned more than once that she wanted both families to discuss the marriage, but Gao Yufeng had never given her a definite time, which made her uncertain. She hoped that this time she could "force him to give in" through Grandpa's birthday.

Gao Yufeng's parents and grandfather have been on vacation abroad and are unaware that he and Shen Yanran have broken off their engagement. In fact, he had wanted to break up shortly after they got engaged, but since it was an engagement arranged by his grandfather, he didn't want to upset his grandfather, so he kept quiet.

If Shen Yufei hadn't gotten pregnant, he probably would have kept enduring it until he married Shen Yanran.

However, things have come to this point, and regardless of whether Grandpa is willing to accept Shen Yufei or not, he has to accept her, since she is now carrying the blood of the Gao family.

Calculating the timing, it just so happens that his grandfather and parents will be returning the day before Old Master Shen's birthday, and he can take this opportunity to bring Shen Yufei back to the Gao family, and everything will be settled.

He can now rest assured that he can hold his engagement ceremony with Shen Yufei at the end of the month.

Gao Yufeng didn't blame Shen Yufei at all. Instead, he said very gently, "Feifei, I know you are a kind and good girl. What you said is not wrong. It was because I didn't give you a definite answer that you accidentally lied. But it's okay. Since you've already told Grandpa, I'll just take my family to celebrate his birthday with him. We can also talk about our engagement. It'll be a double celebration, which is great."

Shen Yufei's previously gloomy face suddenly brightened. "Yes, that's wonderful! Grandpa will be very happy. I hope that when my sister comes back, we can all have some fun together."

"Yanran, will she come back?" A few complex emotions flashed in Gao Yufeng's eyes.

"Of course, Grandpa dotes on my sister so much, she'll definitely come back to celebrate her birthday with her." Shen Yufei put on an innocent and naive look, as if she didn't care about the unpleasant things that happened yesterday at all.

"Well, it's good that she's back. I can finally give Grandpa an explanation." For some reason, Gao Yufeng suddenly remembered the dazzling diamond ring on the noble and aloof woman's hand, and frowned slightly. "After all, she is the granddaughter-in-law personally chosen by my grandfather. It's better to clarify things between Yanran and me in person."

The daughter-in-law personally chosen by the Gao family?

Shen Yanran, that infamous woman, doesn't deserve it!

That is, Gao Yufeng's grandfather, Gao Lianwei, that stubborn and troublesome old man, would like her, and even made a special agreement with her grandfather for this marriage.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths and spent three years to finally get Gao Yufeng to agree to the contract!

Shen Yufei thought disdainfully to herself, but outwardly she said with a pure and kind heart, "Yes, I believe Grandpa Gao will understand us and bless us then. I'm just worried that my sister still won't forgive me and will treat me like she did yesterday. I don't mind, since I was in the wrong first, and it's right for my sister to hit and scold me. I'm just afraid that the two grandfathers can't take it. What should I do, Brother Feng..."
