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

She chewed on the ribs in her mouth, looking at Zhan Jinglin sitting opposite her. She saw the man peel shrimp into a bowl and push it in front of her.

He then took the handkerchief to wipe his hands before picking up his chopsticks to eat.

She looked at the clean bowl in front of her, filled with peeled shrimp meat, and her thoughts drifted back to her past life. In the Shen family mansion, she had seen everyone in the family enjoy peeling shrimp for Shen Lianchu.

She was envious at the time and said she wanted to eat it.

Then Shen Rufeng took chopsticks and smashed them on her head, causing a large bump to swell up on her forehead. They even overturned her rice bowl.

Later, they wouldn't allow her to sit at the table to eat.

Even after being reborn, she still didn't understand why she could tolerate these things in her previous life, or why she had to try to please these people.

Now she doesn't try to please him, and she hasn't even mentioned it once, but Zhan Jinglin has already peeled it for her.

"What's wrong? Is the taste off?" Zhan Jinglin asked, noticing her sitting there, staring blankly at the bowl.

Seeing this, the man quickly reached out to take the bowl away, but she stopped him.

"It's nothing, I was just lost in thought," Shi Yanxia said, picking up a shrimp and putting it in her mouth.

That's when I realized that shrimp peeled by someone else didn't taste particularly special.

Zhan Jinglin ate quietly and didn't talk much. He ate quickly, but his movements were exceptionally elegant, clearly indicating that he had received etiquette training.

“I mentioned to you before that your poisoning is related to your close relatives, and also closely related to your uncle. Your mother is also a close relative of your uncle,” Shi Yanxia suddenly said.

Zhan Jinglin's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the chopsticks.

He looked up at her and found that Shi Yanxia was eating her meal quietly with her head down.

As if she hadn't said anything at all, Zhan Jinglin's lips moved, but when he thought of his mother's sycophantic behavior towards her brother, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"I will be careful," Zhan Jinglin replied in a deep voice.

The two didn't speak again, and they ate in perfect harmony, finishing their meal quickly.

Zhan Jinglin's phone vibrated. After answering the call, he got up and walked outside.

After taking a couple of steps, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Shi Yanxia, ​​saying, "I have something to do and need to go out for a while. If you need anything, just tell Butler Zhou."

Shi Yanxia looked at him with some confusion, and saw Zhan Jinglin leave in a hurry after he finished speaking.

She got up, walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, picked up a strawberry, took a bite, and the delicate flavor spread in her mouth.

She vaguely heard the name "Shi Yanxia" and got up to walk outside, puzzled.

When she saw the bodyguards rushing in, they looked at her as if she were their pillar of support.

"Young Madam." The bodyguard hurriedly walked towards her.

"What happened?" Shi Yanxia asked.

She looked up and saw a familiar figure in the distance.

"Shen Zhinan of the Shen family is making a scene outside, demanding to see you," the bodyguard said in a low voice.

If it were anyone else, daring to cause trouble outside the Zhan residence, they would be beaten with broken legs and thrown out.

But Shen Zhinan is surnamed Shen after all, and he is Shi Yanxia's older brother! Although the two have different surnames, they are family, so the bodyguard could only come in to ask for permission.

"I'll go take a look," Shi Yanxia said.

She stepped outside, and the night breeze brushed against her cheeks, bringing a refreshing sensation.

Outside the iron gate of the Zhan residence, a Mercedes-Benz was parked. Shen Zhinan stood there somewhat awkwardly, her hands clenched into fists, looking inside with a sense of shame.

"They won't let me in? Is Shi Yanxia deliberately having the bodyguards make things difficult for me?" Shen Zhinan gritted her teeth and shouted angrily.

He never expected that after Shi Yanxia married into the family, he, as her brother-in-law, wouldn't even be allowed to enter the house.

Just moments before, when he parked his car, two bodyguards rushed over, nearly breaking his legs, and threatened, "Who do you think you are, daring to trespass on Zhan's residence? Do you want to die?"

As the bodyguard spoke, he pounced on him, pinning him against the car. His body was pressed against the car, and the bodyguard prepared to kick his leg.

Later, when someone recognized him as Shen Zhinan, the bodyguard said, "Bad luck, I almost broke his leg. Are you sure this is the young mistress's older brother?"

After saying this, a bodyguard went back to report.

Shen Zhinan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She stood there rubbing her shoulders, feeling as if she had been shoved hard by the bodyguards. They must be swollen now.

"Is there something you need?" Shi Yanxia walked out of the house.

Standing a few steps away from him, she glanced at him with her almond-shaped eyes, her gaze cold and clear. Seeing Shen Zhinan's fierce aura, she could hardly hide the anger in her eyes.

"Hurry up and come back to the hospital with me to apologize to Mom! Do you know how upset you've made her? Her heart almost stopped this afternoon," Shen Zhinan said, completely lacking in tact.

As he spoke, he turned around with his car keys in hand and opened the car door.

When he found Yan Xia standing still, staring at him without moving.

"Shi Yanxia, ​​what do you want? I've already come all this way to find you, to take you back and apologize. Don't push your luck. Don't forget, you're a member of the Shen family, and your contract is still in my hands," Shen Zhinan threatened.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yanxia burst out laughing.

She walked up to Shen Zhinan, looked up to meet his gaze, and couldn't hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

"Threatening me? Didn't you come here begging me? You should have the right attitude when you ask for help. With such a bad attitude, why should I go with you?" Shi Yanxia said with a smile.

Shen Zhinan was so angry by her words that she almost vomited blood.

She actually thought she was there to beg her? How dare she think she was there to beg her?

"Shi Yanxia, ​​don't push your luck. Even if you marry into the Zhan family, you're still a member of the Shen family by blood. If the Zhan family finds out that you were just brought back by the Shen family, what do you think they'll do?"

“The Zhan family is looking for someone to marry into a family to bring good luck, they’re definitely after A-Chu! Once your identity is exposed, according to the Zhan family’s rules, they’ll definitely kill you,” Shen Zhinan said in a low voice.

Shi Yanxia almost laughed at his joke.

She looked at him as if he were some mentally challenged idiot.

"Why don't you go in and talk to them? Aren't the bodyguards with you? I'll have him come over and listen, and then have him relay the message to Zhan Jinglin?" Shi Yanxia said.

He immediately waved to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard strode toward her and asked respectfully, "Young Madam, what are your orders?"

"Hey, he has something to say to you, and he wants you to pass it on to Zhan Jinglin." Shi Yanxia said, noticing Shen Zhinan's constipated expression.

The coldness in her eyes intensified. She glanced at him and said, "What? I've already called everyone here, why aren't you saying anything?"

"How about I say it for you?" Shi Yanxia raised an eyebrow.

Shen Zhinan felt like she had punched a cotton ball; she was furious but couldn't vent her anger.

He wanted to hold Shi Yanxia's trump card, thinking that as long as he threatened her, she would be afraid and submit to him. Then he could take the opportunity to force her to ask the Zhan family to help him.

He had thought everything through.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Shi Yanxia wouldn't buy it.
