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

"The company's business has been suppressed, and no one dares to cooperate with us anymore. I don't know if it's a problem with the variety show or if someone is suppressing us behind the scenes," Shen Rufeng said in a low voice.

In fact, Shen Lianchu hadn't fainted; she was lying in bed pretending to be unconscious. She was shocked when she heard Shen Rufeng's words.

He opened his eyes in disbelief, a hint of disbelief flashing in them.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't the company sign a lot of S-level scripts this year? Wasn't my leading lady role also about to be signed?"

Shen Lianchu had a bad feeling. How could such a big thing have happened when he had only been gone for three days?

No, she didn't believe it.

“You…” Shen Rufeng’s lips moved.

Shen Lianchu's phone vibrated. She quickly answered the call, and after hearing what was said on the other end, she looked confused and said, "So I was kicked out of the production team? They're not going to sign me?"

"I was already prepared to start filming the variety show right after it was over, and I turned down a lot of other activities. Hey, hey."

After being informed that her visa application had been rejected, Shen Lianchu's hands trembled, and her phone fell to the ground.

She suddenly stood up from the hospital bed, ran barefoot outside, rushed into Shen's mother's ward, and saw Shen's mother paralyzed in bed, her whole face wrapped up like a mummy.

"Mom?" Shen Lianchu was startled when she saw the person on the hospital bed.

I had heard from Shen Beiran that his leg was broken, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I realize it's even worse than I imagined.

“It must be Shi Yanxia! Mom, she can tell fortunes and predict when the wind will blow. It must be her doing. Our Shen family has been in trouble ever since she took someone else's place in the marriage.”

"She must have wanted to harm us! No way! I have to go find her and demand justice. Why did she want to harm us? Not only did she poison my third brother and me, but she almost sent us to jail." Shen Lianchu's voice choked with sobs.

She burst into tears.

Sitting there, hearing her words, Shen's mother felt a pang of heartache.

"Second brother, third brother! Go and find Shi Yanxia for me!" Mother Shen shouted angrily.

She hugged Shen Lianchu, but her eyes were fixed on the iPad. She had just finished watching the live stream of the return trip and learned that Shen Lianchu and Shen Beiran had almost been arrested.

"Yes," Shen Rufeng replied hastily, but when he tried to call, he found that the call could not be connected.

The group took turns calling on their phones, and after a while, they looked at each other in confusion and blurted out, "We've been blocked?"

As soon as they finished speaking, Shen Zhinan walked in from the outside, looking somewhat tired. He then tossed his car keys onto the coffee table and slumped onto the sofa.

"Boss, how's the company?" Shen's mother asked anxiously.

Shen Zhinan sat there, looked up at Shen Lianchu, and finally fixed her gaze on Shen Beiran.

With a "bang," he stood up, raised his hand, and slapped Shen Beiran hard across the face.

"Who told you to reveal the accident insurance issue on a variety show? Now the whole internet is condemning us, thinking we're trying to harm Shi Yanxia."

"This incident was broadcast live, and now our Shen family has been blacklisted by the industry. Not only have all our artists lost their jobs, but all our collaborations are completely off the table, and even the police are watching us," Shen Zhinan roared in despair.

Previously, the Shen family was thriving.

No one expected that it would be driven to bankruptcy in just a few days.

"What? How is that possible!" Mrs. Shen quickly sat up.

The movement was too strenuous, aggravating her injuries and causing her to wince in pain. She stared at Shen Runan, panicking, and said, "Boss, don't they know the relationship between the Shen family and the Zhan family?"

“Yes, find the Zhan family! Didn’t Shi Yanxia marry into the Zhan family? As long as the Zhan family supports the Shen family, we…” Mother Shen murmured softly.

At that moment, she felt like she had found a lifeline.

Shen Beiran was stunned by the blow. He covered his face and looked at Shen Zhinan with a cold smile, then spat out a "Pui!"

"Looking for the Zhan family? Shi Yanxia was forced to marry into their family by us. She signed a disassociation agreement when she left! Her appearance on the variety show was also forced upon her by her older brother. After such a big incident, do you think she would still speak up for us?" Shen Beiran said coldly.

One sentence plunged the ward into an eerie silence.

Everyone's hearts were hanging in suspense, and Shen Lianchu was even more unwilling to give up.

Is the position she fought so hard for really so insignificant?

"I called the Zhan family, but they hung up as soon as they heard it was the Shen family, without giving me a chance to speak," Shen Zhinan said in a low voice.

Shen's mother was taken aback; she had called before, and the call had indeed been hung up on.

At that moment, her heart grew colder and colder.

She quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Shi Yanxia.

But she found the message hadn't been sent; the red exclamation mark stung her eyes. She muttered, "That little bitch, she actually blocked me."

"No matter what, she has the blood of the Shen family flowing in her veins. Even if we sever ties, she is still a member of the Shen family!" Mother Shen said through gritted teeth.

"Brother, let's go to the Zhan residence." A sinister glint flashed in Shen Rufeng's eyes as he got up, grabbed his car keys, and headed out.

Before Shen Runan could react, his figure had already disappeared from the ward.

战宅

Shi Yanxia hailed a car and returned to the Zhan residence. As soon as she stepped inside, a servant respectfully greeted her, "Young Madam is back?"

She felt a little uncomfortable and simply nodded slightly.

Inside the Zhan residence, upon hearing the sound of a car, the butler hurriedly ran outside on his short legs.

"Young Madam is back? Let me help you with this." The butler's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he quickly reached out to take the luggage bag from her.

He watched the entire live variety show, and his impression of Shi Yanxia was completely overturned!

I never expected her to be so skilled. Not only could she kill wild boars, but she could also kill venomous snakes with her bare hands, and even jump off a cliff...

In addition, Zhan Jinglin has not been poisoned in the past three days, whereas the day before, his whole body was almost ulcerated and he kept vomiting blood!

These past few days everyone has been on edge, but as Shi Yanxia predicted, they managed to control themselves. When the news reached the old house, the old man was so excited that he almost fell and broke his leg, otherwise he would have flown over already.

"Where is he?" Shi Yanxia looked up at the building.

The housekeeper's eyes were filled with relief when she asked about Zhan Jinglin's condition.

Now, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Shi Yanxia's aura was too similar to Zhan Jinglin's; they were both decisive and efficient people.

"Young Master has gone out on business. I'll give him a call," the butler said respectfully as he carried her luggage upstairs.

Shi Yanxia hummed in agreement and pushed open the door to enter the room.

Seeing that the bedroom was spotless, it was clear that they had been cleaning since she left. She put down her backpack, took out the two snake gallbladders, and pasted yellow talismans on them.

"Bring me those medicinal herbs from before," Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.

When the housekeeper saw the snake gallbladders in her bottle—the very ones she had just picked during the live stream—he rubbed his hands excitedly and repeatedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll bring them over right now."
