A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

As soon as he finished speaking, his assistant fell silent.

"What? Is the other party's identity very special?" Leng Chengshen also became nervous.

It wasn't that she was afraid of the other person's special identity, but rather that she was afraid Shi Yanxia had betrayed her. If she went out to eat alone with a man in such a private room with excellent privacy, she would be in danger.

We have no idea what will happen.

Before, he had never even held her hand, and their relationship was not yet defined.

Thinking of this, Leng Chengshen's heart was hanging in mid-air.

"Are you sure a man and a woman went to lunch that day?" the assistant asked instead of answering.

Leng Chengshen listened and looked at Shen Lianchu with suspicion.

"I'll send you the video, you can watch it yourself," the assistant said, and then hung up the phone.

A short while later, his assistant sent him a very long video. Leng Chengshen immediately opened it and found that the time was from 12 noon to 2 pm.

"It's around 1:30, that's the time." Shen Lianchu came over as well.

She was standing very close to Leng Chengshen, and her chest was unintentionally rubbing against Leng Chengshen's arm.

The man froze, looking down at her body pressed tightly against his, their bodies almost rubbing together. He instinctively pulled away, but Shen Lianchu pressed closer again.

"Don't move. You'll see when you see the video." Shen Lianchu noticed his resistance.

She was displeased, but pretended not to know anything about his actions, maintaining an innocent expression.

Leng Chengshen remained silent, looking down at the surveillance video. He noticed that from 12 o'clock onwards, hardly anyone entered that private restaurant.

At 1:30, two burly men went in, with bodyguards standing to the side.

It wasn't until after 2 a.m. that the two men walked out side by side, got into the Porsche "A8", and the bodyguard next to them immediately got into the Mercedes behind, and drove away.

"No, impossible! How could it be two men? It's clearly Shi Yanxia and that man." Shen Lianchu was stunned, and she said with some agitation.

Unwilling to give up, she continued watching the video and discovered that no one else had gone in besides these two.

"It's fake. This surveillance video has definitely been photoshopped. It's definitely been tampered with. With the Zhan family's power, it's not hard to imagine them having someone tamper with it," Shen Lianchu murmured.

However, Leng Chengshen grabbed her wrist and looked at her with complicated eyes.

"Shen Lianchu, that's enough. If you keep spreading rumors in front of me, don't blame me for turning against you. You always told me how Shi Yanxia made things difficult for you."

"It seems you're quite adept at lying through your teeth." Leng Chengshen said with a dark face, pushing her away.

Shen Lianchu was pushed aside by him. She moved her lips, then stamped her feet in frustration.

"I'm not lying. My brother and I saw it with our own eyes, but the person in the video has been switched! Leng Chengshen, you have to believe me. I would never harm you," Shen Lianchu explained in a low voice.

She stood there looking pitiful, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Leng Chengshen, I just feel sorry for you." Shen Lianchu sobbed softly.

Leng Chengshen felt a headache coming on. He threw his phone aside and said to her, "Miss Shen, we're not very familiar. To avoid any misunderstandings, you should leave now."

“If there’s nothing else going on, it’s best if we avoid contact in private.” Leng Chengshen immediately distanced himself from her.

He had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with the Shen family. Otherwise, why would he have an accident in the elevator after arriving at the hospital, and why would Shen Lianchu have come to his rescue so conveniently?

Even when he was trapped inside, she said, "He's lucky."

Now that the surveillance footage is fake, she still insists that someone must have photoshopped it. Doesn't that imply that his assistant tampered with it? But the premise is that his assistant knew nothing, so how could he have photoshopped the surveillance footage?

"You want to break off our friendship?" Shen Lianchu was somewhat taken aback.

She looked at him in disbelief, her eyes reddening with grievance. Her body swayed precariously, but she tried her best to appear strong. In the past, Leng Chengshen would have definitely felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly.

But now he was very annoyed, especially by Shen Zhinan's request for him to call and arrange a meeting with Leng Zhimo.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, vaguely sensing that after this phone call, he would have no place in the Leng family anymore.

"I'm going to record a variety show tomorrow, Miss Shen, you should go back and prepare," Leng Chengshen said in a hoarse voice.

He lay back on the hospital bed, looking at the injury on his fingertip, feeling a strange unease.

Shen Lianchu bit her lip, looking at his indifferent appearance. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes. Then she turned around, took out a talisman and lit it. When the talisman burned out, it was also odorless and tasteless.

She tossed it into a glass of water, poured in a glass of water, and shook it.

“Okay, I’ll watch you drink the water and then I’ll leave.” Shen Lianchu said, picking up the cup and turning around to hand it to him.

Leng Chengshen was somewhat irritated and wanted to refuse.

But then he saw her shove the water glass into his hand. He quickly took the glass and gulped down the water, saying, "Okay, I'm done drinking. Can you leave now?"

"Leng Chengshen, you're so kind." Shen Lianchu smiled sweetly.

Leng Chengshen felt a headache coming on. He groaned and collapsed onto the bed, feeling as if something had been drained from his body. He picked up his phone and made a call.

"I'm not feeling well, so I probably won't be able to go back tonight. Could you help me pack my things and pick me up from the hospital tomorrow morning? We'll go directly from the hospital to the meeting point then," Leng Chengshen said before hanging up the phone.

Shen Lianchu stood there, turned around with an arrogant expression, and there was no trace of the pitiful look in her eyes.

After she pushed open the door and went out, she turned around and went back into Shen's mother's ward.

"Mom, I had to continue recording a variety show with my third brother yesterday, and I probably have to go home tonight, so I can't be with you," Shen Lianchu said in a low, choked voice.

With red eyes, she stood in front of the hospital bed, rushed forward, and hugged Shen's mother tightly.

"Although I was criticized a lot on this variety show, I will not give up. For my family, for my brother and mother, I will definitely take this opportunity to have a good talk with my sister."

"I believe my sister will definitely ask the Zhan family to help us out of respect for our mother."

"If my sister doesn't forgive me, I'll give her the position of the eldest daughter of the Shen family!" Shen Lianchu sobbed softly.

Her words left Shen's mother momentarily dazed.

"I'm leaving. I'm going home to pack my things, Mom! I love you." Shen Lianchu said, getting up to wipe away her tears, forcing a smile as she turned and left.

Shen's mother's lips moved slightly as she looked at the closed door.

"As expected, the daughter you raised yourself is the closest to you!" Mother Shen said coldly.

As she spoke, the corner of her mouth was pulled, causing her to wince in pain, and her face showed many more wrinkles, but the physical pain made her completely unable to take care of herself.

"Eldest son, have you managed to invite Master Huo? Shi Yanxia is going on a variety show tomorrow. If we don't get the jade pendant soon, I'm afraid I'll die." Mother Shen cried uncontrollably.

Shen Zhinan received the call and rushed back to the ward.

He pushed open the door and entered, looking at Shen's mother with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Mom, Master Huo is now refusing to see anyone from the Shen family. He's determined to sever ties with us," Shen Zhinan said in a hoarse voice.
