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

The phone rang again. Shi Yanxia was about to block her, but after hesitating for half a second, she answered the call.

Before she could speak, the person on the other end of the phone burst out cursing, "Shi Yanxia, ​​how dare you not answer my call? Do you think that marrying into the Zhan family will make you a rich lady?"

"Without the Shen family, how could the Zhan family possibly look up to you? This opportunity was given to you by the Shen family, so you should be grateful."

“Your brother has a project that needs investment. You need to get the Zhan family to invest 8 million! Do you hear me?” Shen’s mother’s sharp voice came through.

As Shi Yanxia listened, she was wide awake.

Some people stared at their phone screens in disbelief, never expecting them to be so shameless.

Just four hours ago, she had severed ties with them and completely broken off relations. Now they still had the nerve to call her and ask her to seek investment from the Zhan family.

When she says 8 million, it's as simple as saying 8 yuan.

"Mrs. Shen, if I remember correctly, we've severed ties. Why should the Zhan family invest in you? Besides, you know I'm married into the Zhan family now. I'm a member of the Zhan family. If you know what's good for you, get out of here," Shi Yanxia said coldly.

Just because she doesn't get angry doesn't mean she has a good temper.

"You dare to talk back? You think you're all grown up now? Your brother just got you a variety show gig, and our Shen family gave you a chance to get on a variety show and make your name known."

"Such great resources, all the celebrities on the show are big names! You don't know how to be grateful, and you even dare to talk to me like that? Believe me or not, I'll make sure you can't make it in the entertainment industry!" Shen's mother threatened.

As Shi Yanxia listened, she suddenly burst out laughing.

Her delicate face was adorned with beautiful dimples! She smiled and turned her head, a gentle breeze blowing in from the window, lifting her hair and partially obscuring her fair face.

"Fine, then have someone blacklist me. Don't go on the variety show tomorrow either," Shi Yanxia said coldly.

One sentence drove the person on the other end of the phone crazy.

Shen's mother panicked. She vaguely heard other people talking on the other end of the phone, as if she thought she could control the situation, but she didn't expect her to just give up.

"Just go! What are you being so dramatic about? Also, bring back the betrothal gifts you moved out this morning," Mother Shen ordered through gritted teeth.

Clearly, they were still thinking about the betrothal gifts.

After the betrothal gifts were moved away, they recalled the list of betrothal gifts and calculated that if those items were converted into cash, they would be worth 10 billion.

The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, never expecting that Shi Yanxia would benefit from it.

Asking her to invest in a project with the Zhan family was a pretense; his real intention was to get the betrothal gifts back.

Furthermore, if something is marked with the Zhan family's name, taking it out would mean being associated with the Zhan family. If people in the industry find out about it, wouldn't they all want to find an opportunity to cooperate with the Shen family?

The Zhan family! Their assets are spread all over the world. Being associated with the Zhan family means you can do whatever you want and get the projects you want without having to bid.

They wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by. So they wanted the Zhan family's power, but didn't want to sacrifice Shen Lianchu.

"Heh, you want a betrothal gift? Fine." Shi Yanxia sneered.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything more, she hung up the phone.

Although she didn't care, she felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart when she heard her mother say that; it was still quite painful! It seemed that her body couldn't accept the consequences of being schemed against by her family.

"Since you're going to drive me to the brink, then I won't hold back." Shi Yanxia said, turning over to get out of bed, washing her face, and then walking outside.

As soon as she came downstairs, the housekeeper immediately came forward to greet her.

"Young Madam, are you going out?" the butler asked respectfully.

Having witnessed her suppress Zhan Jinglin's poison, the butler dared not be negligent in the slightest. If she could save Zhan Jinglin, it would mean that she was the Zhan family's benefactor.

"I need to go back to the Shen family. If it's convenient, have the driver take me," Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.

In wealthy and powerful families, everyone has their own driver, so she was too lazy to go out and hail a taxi.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Seeing this, the butler quickly went to arrange a driver for her and even specially picked out a brand new limited-edition luxury car to send her off.

After Shi Yanxia got into the car, the driver drove straight to the Shen residence.

Inside the Shen residence, a lively atmosphere prevailed.

Shi Yanxia stepped inside and saw Shen Lianchu pouting, clinging to Shen Beiran's arm, saying in a coquettish tone, "Third Brother, I want more."

Shen Beiran looked at her with doting eyes, patted her head, and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth.

"Okay, have another one." Shen Beiran said, picking up a strawberry and holding it to her lips, even wiping the juice from the corner of her mouth.

Shen Lianchu, biting into a strawberry, looked up at him and winked, saying, "Third Brother, you're so kind."

Then, Shen's mother came over with a bowl of nourishing soup and said to her, "Chuchu, come here! Mom made you some ginseng soup, have some to nourish yourself."

Shen Lianchu frowned as he listened.

"Mom, what if I gain weight from drinking? I need to maintain my figure. I have to go to work on a film set after I finish recording the variety show," Shen Lianchu said, without taking the bowl.

Shen's mother held the bowl, blew on it, and brought it to her lips, saying, "This variety show is too tiring. You need to replenish your energy, otherwise where will you get the strength?"

As soon as she finished speaking, seeing Shi Yanxia standing outside the door, Shen's mother's face instantly turned cold.

With a clatter, she slammed the soup bowl down on the coffee table, her face darkening. "So you finally decided to come back? Did you bring anything back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Lianchu jumped up from the sofa and ran out barefoot.

They found nothing outside except for a luxury car.

"Sister, where are the betrothal gifts? Didn't you bring them back? Didn't you say it was just for you to marry in my place? Why did you even try to embezzle our family's betrothal gifts?" Shen Lianchu said, her eyes reddening with grievance.

Her gaze was fixed on the car outside. This car hadn't even been released yet, but Shi Yanxia was already sitting in it.

Why? Why is Shi Yanxia allowed to sit here? These things clearly belong to her.

"Shi Yanxia, ​​what are you going to do?" Shen's mother sat upright on the sofa, adopting the demeanor of a wealthy lady.

But she saw Shi Yanxia's almond-shaped eyes narrow slightly, staring at her coldly. Then she lifted her foot and walked towards her. Shi Yanxia approached step by step, which frightened her so much that she involuntarily moved her body back.

Shen Beiran sat there, preparing to scold her.

Seeing her walk straight towards Shen's mother, he rushed forward to block her, his masculine face showing displeasure, and said, "What are you trying to do?"

"Get out of my way," Shi Yanxia said coldly.

She kicked him, and Shen Beiran froze, feeling a sharp pain in his body. He was kicked away and fell onto the sofa. He groaned, feeling as if his intestines had been dislocated.

He clutched his stomach in pain and watched as Shi Yanxia strode up to Shen's mother.

"Shi Yanxia, ​​what are you doing? If you dare to lay a hand on me, believe it or not... Ah." Before Shen's mother could finish speaking, she saw Shi Yanxia reach out to grab her.

The rope around her neck was grabbed, and Shen's mother was stunned. She saw Shi Yanxia pull hard, and the necklace around her neck was torn off.
