She died tragically at her engagement banquet, and was reborn to marry the heir of the Beijing elite

The two had barely arrived at the villa when Ye Huaiting's phone rang. The ringtone was quite distinctive. "Answer the phone quickly! Mother's here! Answer the phone quickly! Mother's here!"

"Oh my god, why is my mom making a video call at this hour?" Ye Huaiting quickly cast a pleading look at Shen Mengxia.

"Don't look at me, I can't help you." Shen Mengxia said nonchalantly, then turned and left.

Ye Huaiting nervously pressed the answer button, and instantly, Fu's mother's familiar voice came through the phone. "You brat, do you think you're all grown up now? Getting beaten up for a woman, why don't you switch to the video and let me see?"

Helpless, Ye Huaiting turned the camera to his injured face and said with a bitter expression, "Mom, look, my injury is quite serious. Your son is exhausted both physically and mentally right now."

Fu's mother cried out in distress, "Oh dear, my precious son, who could be so cruel? Let me see your fingers, they were almost chopped off; but you deserve it, getting yourself into this state for a woman. If only you had listened to me earlier and found someone to marry, would it have come to this?"

Ye Huaiting hurriedly defended himself, "Mom, they're ungrateful. They really disrespected the Fu family, daring to hit me without even looking..."

Mother Fu snorted: "Stop talking nonsense. Do you want me to cut off your credit card? Let me tell you, I've found you a few blind dates. Find me a good partner to marry."

Upon hearing this, Ye Huaiting was furious. "Mom, what are you trying to do? My older brother is already in his thirties and still single. Why are you forcing me to get married? I'm still young! If anyone's going to get married, it should be my older brother first! I'm not getting married! Don't try to force me when you can't get my older brother to get married. Mom is always so biased."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu became furious, her voice instantly rising eight octaves, "What do you have to compare with your older brother? All you do is spout this useless nonsense. Do you think I'm just talking nonsense since I'm not around? Get married, all of you. Whoever gets married and has children first gets all my assets. Otherwise, don't even think about it." With that, she slammed down the phone.

Ye Huaiting gripped the phone tightly, his brows furrowed, muttering to himself, "Which heartless bastard snitched to my mom? Humph, once I find out, I'll make sure he doesn't get away with it! How dare he stab me in the back! I'll teach this despicable guy a lesson."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but curse: "What a bunch of cowardly and opportunistic 'friends'! Not one of them can be relied on when it matters!"

The next morning, Shen Mengxia was still some distance from the restaurant when she heard Fu Yanchen questioning Ye Huaiting: "What did you do to offend her again? Why did you bring all this over?"

"Why don't you ask her yourself? She's not just my mother," Ye Huaiting muttered to himself. Listening to the back-and-forth argument between the two, Shen Mengxia couldn't help but shake her head, wondering what had happened to cause this mother and her two sons to be arguing so much so early in the morning.

In the evening, Shen Mengxia prepared to go out for a walk as usual. As she passed Fu Yanchen's study, she inadvertently glanced at the ashtray full of cigarette butts on the desk, and her heart tightened, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Just as Shen Mengxia was standing outside the study door, hesitating whether to go in and offer some advice, she suddenly heard Fu Yanchen's deep and magnetic voice calling from inside: "Xiaxia! Come in!"

Shen Mengxia took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door to enter the study. She saw Fu Yanchen sitting at his desk with a serious expression, staring straight at her.

After a brief silence, Fu Yanchen suddenly knelt on one knee, took out an exquisite jewelry box from his pocket, and slowly opened it in front of Shen Mengxia—it contained a large heart-shaped diamond ring, and upon closer inspection, Shen Mengxia's initials were engraved on it.

It looks like it was meticulously crafted.

Fu Yanchen said solemnly, "This isn't a spur-of-the-moment thing. I've been preparing this ring for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you until now! Xiaxia, let's get married!"

These words struck Shen Mengxia like a thunderbolt, leaving her stunned and momentarily speechless...
