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

Shi Yanxia picked up the water he handed her and took two sips.

She looked at Zhan Jinglin with some surprise, not expecting that the incredibly wealthy Zhan Jinglin would be so frank.

"The Shen family sent you here without expecting you to leave alive. They thought that if I died, you would surely be buried with me. From your entire appearance on the variety show, it's easy to see that those two from the Shen family were deliberately targeting you."

"That high-value accidental death insurance seems more like a premeditated scheme. I don't know if you're open to it. If you care about the Shen family, then I'll give them a way out for your sake."

“If you sever ties with the Shen family, then the Zhan family will naturally stand on the same side as you,” Zhan Jinglin said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yanxia's smile deepened.

From the day she was brought here as a substitute bride, the moment she saw Zhan Jinglin, she was struck dumb, unable to believe her eyes; she couldn't see through this man at all.

Everyone's face reveals the ups and downs of their life, but Zhan Jinglin's face was the only one she couldn't understand.

He seemed to be surrounded by an aura that made him appear unfathomable. Even though she could tell fortunes and read faces, she couldn't see through him.

When she got close, she saw that the poison on his body was so strong and pungent that she realized he was about to die.

She can't see anything else!

"Okay, then ignore them! If the Shen family wants my life, they'll have to see if I agree! Once the contract ends, I'll have nothing to do with the Shen family anymore."

"Before the substitute bride came, we had already signed a separation agreement. Now that the Shen family is in trouble, they're rushing to beg you, simply trying to use moral blackmail."

“But unfortunately, I’ve never been a moral person, so they’re destined not to be able to hold me hostage.” Shi Yanxia said, getting up and stretching.

After eating and drinking my fill, I felt much more energetic.

"Understood." Zhan Jinglin looked at him with some surprise.

I discovered that she was not only frank but also very free-spirited, unlike others who were hesitant and indecisive! Her decisiveness and straightforwardness were truly unique.

She walked to the French windows and stood there gazing at the night view outside.

When she turned her head, she saw Zhan Jinglin roll up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing half of his arm, and he was bending down by the coffee table, clearing away the leftover dishes for her.

She moved her lips slightly and realized that he had already finished tidying up efficiently.

Zhan Jinglin didn't linger. He carried the trash outside and deliberately closed the door gently as he did so.

Shi Yanxia watched his departing figure with her gaze. After a long while, she turned around, washed her hands, and prepared to continue preparing the medicinal herbs. She needed to prepare some pills for him tonight, otherwise Zhan Jinglin would not be able to make it through the night.

Looking at the energetic man, no one would guess that he might die tonight.

This is poison! And a very insidious kind of poison, attacking the body and suddenly delivering a fatal blow when you think you're still okay.

When the time comes to die, I will feel somewhat unwilling, but I will be powerless to do anything about it.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

Shi Yanxia paused in picking out medicinal herbs, got up and walked to the side, unplugged the charger, and saw Bai Nuannuan's number flashing on the screen.

These were the phone numbers the four of them exchanged when they went to eat hot pot after disembarking, and they also added each other on WeChat.

"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong?" Shi Yanxia quickly answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Bai Nuannuan's anxious voice came from the other end of the line. She whispered, "I've watched almost all the variety shows today. I never expected there would be hidden cameras on the deserted island."

"Shen Lianchu kept stirring up trouble and inciting others to attack you. Just how dissatisfied is she with you? And although Leng Chengshen didn't do anything in the end, the camera captured his hatred for you several times."

"I've been thinking about it, and I feel I still need to remind you. This Leng Chengshen is very cunning, and I'm worried he might retaliate against you," Bai Nuannuan said in a low voice.

Hearing her worries, Shi Yanxia smiled even more broadly.

"Don't worry, I have no connection with him. I had seen him frequently before and even thought he had feelings for me. It was all Shen Lianchu who said it on purpose, which made me mistakenly think that he liked me. Leng Chengshen also mistakenly thought that I was fawning over him."

“Shen Lianchu will definitely make a move against me to secure her position as the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but I have never been afraid of her. I used to tolerate her because I was mindful of what the Shen family members thought, but now, it doesn’t matter,” Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.

Hearing her attitude again, Bai Nuannuan finally felt relieved.

"Okay, as long as you keep it in mind! The Shen family is in a mess right now. I heard they've been suppressed without anyone knowing, which has caused all of the Shen family's artists to lose their jobs."

"Moreover, all of Shen's agreed projects and business deals have been canceled, and no one in the industry dares to cooperate with the Shen family anymore. The Shen family is currently being suppressed and unable to breathe."

"I'm a little curious, who is so powerful that they almost bankrupted the Shen family in just two days, but didn't actually go all out to make them go bankrupt."

"It feels like they're suppressing the Shen family, watching them suffer a fate worse than death, yet not letting them die! I just had my family investigate, but they can't find out who did it," Bai Nuannuan said in a low voice.

She rested her chin on her hand, her eyes full of curiosity, and said while staring at her phone, "I feel like Shen Lianchu deliberately smeared you, which led to someone taking action for you after the variety show was broadcast live."

"Shi Yanxia, ​​what exactly is your background? How come a big shot directly intervened to suppress the Shen family?" Bai Nuannuan was itching with curiosity.

Shi Yanxia answered the phone while walking towards the bay window.

While preparing the medicinal herbs, she put her phone aside and turned it on speakerphone, saying, "They don't have any special background; it's just that the Shen family has had some bad luck."

“Speaking of bad luck, I also heard that Shen’s mother had her leg broken by something falling on her, and with everything going wrong for the Shen family, they’re trying to find a feng shui master to help them,” Bai Nuannuan said in a low voice.

She was a little worried and lowered her voice, saying, "I have a feeling that they're looking for a master because they want to get rid of you, right? Even as an outsider, I think the Shen family wants to kill you."

"Maybe," Shi Yanxia said with a soft laugh.

She didn't care about any of these things at all.

Before, when she returned to the Shen family, she was able to protect them from bad luck. Now that she's gone, who can withstand this bad luck for the Shen family? They're lucky if they don't die.

"Yan Yan, I'll ask you one more time! Can you consider my brother? My brother is really super handsome, smart and capable, 190cm tall, tall and long-legged! He also has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, tsk tsk." Bai Nuannuan continued to recommend him.

Hearing her bring it up again, Shi Yanxia was both amused and exasperated.

Bai Nuannuan mentioned it countless times when they were on the deserted island.

"Is your brother having trouble finding a girlfriend?" Shi Yanxia asked, raising an eyebrow.

Upon hearing this, Bai Nuannuan immediately wilted.

"The problem is he won't look for anyone! It's driving me crazy. I finally found someone I like, but I feel like you're not interested in my brother either. It's so annoying. I want to knock you out and carry you to his bed," Bai Nuannuan murmured.
