On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Back at the Shen Group, it was already seven o'clock. Shen Yanchuan went to a meeting without having dinner. Su Chenxi's dinner was arranged by her assistant to be delivered to the company. Looking at the sumptuous dishes, she had no appetite.

Around 8:30, she fell asleep on Shen Yanchuan's large sofa. Around 9:00, Shen Yanchuan walked in with a slightly tired look on his handsome face. When he saw the girl sleeping on the sofa waiting for him, he felt a surge of self-reproach.

It seems to be his fault; he neglected her because of work.

Su Chenxi felt two strong arms lift her up in a horizontal embrace. She opened her eyes in surprise and found herself in Shen Yanchuan's arms.

"Put me down! You must be tired too, I can walk by myself." Su Chenxi felt sorry for him; he must be exhausted after a whole night of meetings.

"It's okay, my wife, I can still carry her." Shen Yanchuan didn't let go and carried her downstairs. His bodyguard drove a car and parked at the door. Su Chenxi blushed as he carried her into the car.

The bodyguard drove smoothly forward. Su Chenxi moved her legs off the man's strong legs. The man's breathing quickened slightly, and his dark and intense eyes stared at her. The brief physical contact just now seemed to have triggered a mechanism in the man's body, causing him to react.

Su Chenxi avoided his gaze, resting her chin on her hand and staring blankly at the scenery outside the window. Tomorrow was the day he recanted his testimony, and she hoped that he could be exonerated and never get involved in such matters again.

In the past two days, Zhu Ying and Xia Xiaomeng have been trying to build relationships and connections, but no matter how expensive the gifts Zhu Ying gives, they are all returned untouched by the people she asks for help.

Just then, the assistant came in carrying several boxes of top-grade ginseng worth millions. "Madam," he said, "Congressman Li asked me to return these things and also asked me to pass on a message, saying that you should stop wasting your energy."

Zhu Ying's face turned pale with anger. "What are these people afraid of? Didn't they accept them before? Why are they afraid to accept them this time?"

Xia Xiaomeng was also secretly anxious. She hoped that Shen Yaorong would be released, and as for Shen Jianchang, she hoped that he would go to jail for life, so that no one would disturb her and Shen Yaorong's life.

"Mom, it seems there's only one person we can turn to now. Let's go beg Shen Yanchuan! As long as he doesn't sue, Dad and Jianchang will be fine," Xia Xiaomeng pleaded with her mother-in-law.

Zhu Ying's face flushed red, and she sneered, "Even if it means my death, I won't beg this little bastard."

"Grandma has already said that she doesn't care about Dad and Jianchang's affairs, and she certainly won't plead for us." Xia Xiaomeng encouraged her mother-in-law to beg someone, as she herself was too ashamed to beg Shen Yanchuan.

Zhu Ying sighed, "How am I supposed to beg him? That brat hates me to death."

“Dad, Jianchang, Mom, only you can help them. Your daughter-in-law is useless.” Xia Xiaomeng lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

Zhu Ying was furious and glared at her, "You know you're useless. If you were even half as good as Su Chenxi, you wouldn't have such a low status in the Shen family."

Every time Zhu Ying cursed, Xia Xiaomeng felt a surge of hatred for Su Chenxi, which made her want to trample Su Chenxi under her feet even more. She knew that day would come.

Jiangzhai.

Ever since he saw his ex-wife marry Gu Taoyang that day, Jiang Liguo has been drinking heavily. He seems to have been traumatized, not going home, neglecting his company, and acting like a failure.

However, what's worse is that yesterday, the Shen Group halted all of his projects and stopped providing funding to his company. Now, the Jiang Group is paralyzed again, and the employees have started to riot.

"That brat Shen Yanchuan! My mother saved his grandmother's life, and he dares to treat me like this!" Jiang Liguo, drunk, cursed loudly in the living room.

Qin Shan stood on the second floor listening, a look of annoyance flashing across her face. She had squeezed out the original wife and should have been a victor, but now, she felt more like she had picked up a piece of trash that Su Meifen didn't want.

Jiang Liguo is now incompetent and burdened with debt. Not only is his company not doing well, but it may also go bankrupt and be liquidated. So what's the use of her having two sons?

What else will be inherited in the future?

"Liguo, didn't you say you wanted to marry Yaoyao to Shen Yanchuan? Shouldn't you go to the Shen family to propose this marriage?" Qin Shan came down from the second floor and advised.

Jiang Liguo's eyes lit up. "Yes, I have another daughter. I want to marry her off to Shen Yanchuan. I want to reunite our families through marriage. I'll go and ask Old Madam Shen for help tomorrow."

Qin Shan had no connections or skills, so she could only rely on Jiang Liguo. She had to make this man provide her and her two children with a life of luxury and wealth.

Outside the window, the snow was enchanting, and inside, in a temperature-controlled space, Su Chenxi, having just taken a shower, casually draped a bathrobe over herself. She reached out and touched the necklace Shen Yanchuan had recently given her, her thoughts somewhat hazy.

"What are you thinking about?" Behind her, the man appeared beside her without her noticing, his long arm encircling her waist and pulling her into his embrace.

Su Chenxi gently nudged him. "It's nothing. Go to bed early tonight and try to be in good spirits to face the judge tomorrow."

"I can't sleep, chat with me for a while." Shen Yanchuan held her tightly, not letting her leave.

Su Chenxi was afraid to be with him. She was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions and reveal her vulnerable side to him. She was also afraid that she would not have enough courage to leave him.

"But I'm tired." Su Chenxi blinked, pretending to be sleepy.

Shen Yanchuan lowered his head and said irritably, "You complain about being tired when you're with me, but you're full of energy when you're with others?"

Su Chenxi was taken aback, then guiltily turned her face away and said, "I wasn't with anyone!"

Shen Yanchuan didn't mind that she had spent time with Gu Heting and couldn't keep her heart, so he started to look for the reasons within himself.

He left her to sleep on the sofa during the evening meeting and didn't even have time to have dinner with her; this was all his fault.

"Then sleep with me, in the master bedroom." Shen Yanchuan domineeringly led her back to the room.

"I want to sleep alone," Su Chenxi argued, because she couldn't sleep at all if she slept with him.

Shen Yanchuan ignored her and led her back to the master bedroom, saying, "Tonight, you're not allowed to go anywhere except to stay by my side."

That's outrageously domineering.

Su Chenxi sighed inwardly, and as she thought of something, her nose started to sting again. In the end, she did not refuse his request to go back to the master bedroom with him.

She had her back to the man, resting her head on one of his arms. He arched his back like a big dog, pulling her slender and petite body between his own, his hands around her waist intertwining with hers.

With such sleeping posture, Su Chenxi couldn't fall asleep at all; she could only pretend to be asleep.

The man leaned on his elbow and looked her over several times, but Su Chenxi didn't open her eyes. It wasn't until more than twenty minutes later that she heard even breathing behind her; she had put the man to sleep.

Su Chenxi gently turned over and looked him up and down in the dim light. How could he have such a handsome face?
