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

Hopefully, the Jiang Group can return to normal development this year, and then she won't have to act as a bridge anymore.

In the office, Shen Yanchuan held a shelved contract, hesitated for two seconds, and then signed his name.

The Jiang family simply doesn't have the capacity to take on this project, which is why he put it on hold for a week.

A short while later, Zhou Youchen came over to pick up the contract. Seeing that it had been signed, he was somewhat surprised. "Second Young Master, didn't you say you weren't planning to give this project to the Jiang family?"

Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a deep thought flashing across his face. "I hope the Jiang family won't disappoint me."

Zhou Youchen immediately guessed, "Could it be that you agreed to sign this project contract because the second young mistress signed that supplementary agreement?"

Shen Yanchuan glanced at him indifferently, "Don't say anything."

Zhou Youchen was shocked. The second young mistress definitely didn't know, because she signed a supplementary divorce agreement, which gave the second young master the green light to invest in the Jiang family, resulting in a 10 billion yuan project.

Oh dear! The second young mistress was in a bad mood just now! It turns out that the second young master is the one who has to bear the brunt of it all!

"Understood." Zhou Youchen nodded.

Shen Yanchuan certainly did more than just sign the project; he would also send people to oversee its implementation. He never fights a losing battle, nor does he make a move that has no value.

……

Shen Zhai.

Xia Xiaomeng and Shen Jianchang lingered until eleven o'clock before getting up. Recently, Shen Jianchang had been very idle because his father had no other projects to invest in for him. At this moment, his phone rang. He glanced at it and nervously picked it up and went to the bathroom.

"Hey!"

"My dear young master Shen, when are you going to pay back our bet? Fifty million is just a small matter for you!"

"Just wait a little longer, I'll have the money soon, and you definitely won't be shortchanged." I heard your father stepped down; will that affect your ability to make money?

"Of course not, don't underestimate me."

"Okay, come play again when you have time! We've added even more new attractions, including the giant roulette wheel you've been waiting for!" the wicked voice said from the other end.

At this moment, Shen Jianchang had no interest in any of this. He chuckled and said, "We'll talk about it another time."

After hanging up the phone, he returned to the master bedroom, where Xia Xiaomeng reached out and hugged him. "Honey, hasn't Dad assigned you anything to do lately?"

"Ha! He's so crowded he barely has a seat left, how could I possibly get one?" Shen Jianchang said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Xia Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with disdain. She thought she had found a treasure, but compared with Shen Yanchuan, she realized that she had picked up a piece of scrap metal with no value at all.

"Jianchang, isn't it the Shen Group's banquet tomorrow night? I've got my eye on an evening gown that suits me perfectly. Could you transfer me some money to buy it?" Xia Xiaomeng asked sweetly.

After hearing this, Shen Jianchang turned his head and glared at her, "You're still buying an evening gown? Only an idiot would spend millions to buy one. Just rent it. I'll transfer 100,000 to you later."

Watching her husband leave, Xia Xiaomeng's face stiffened and flushed with anger. She angrily threw a pillow on the bed, "Can't you even afford a dress?"

Just then, someone knocked on the door. She reached out and opened it, and Zhu Ying stood outside with a grim expression. "Even though you're pregnant, you can't just sleep in all day. Your mother passed away early, so you have to learn to be a proper daughter-in-law. Our Shen family doesn't support idlers."

"Yes, Mom, I understand," Xia Xiaomeng replied hastily, feeling ashamed.

Just then, a slapping sound came from the lobby downstairs, followed by Shen Yaorong's angry roar.

"You brat, you insisted that I buy that piece of land. Do you even know what kind of land it was? It was just a wasteland. You made me spend five billion!" Shen Yaoyang cursed angrily.

Shen Jianchang, who had just been slapped, looked aggrieved. "Dad, what's 5 billion in wealth for the Shen Group? Besides, if it can't be used to build a commercial complex, what other purpose can it serve?"

"Slap!" Another slap.

"You bastard, do you know how Shen Yanchuan humiliated me at the board meeting today? You made me sign a liability waiver back then, and now I have to take half the responsibility for this. Shen Yanchuan has therefore taken away three percent of my shares, all because of you, you unfilial son."

"What? How dare he? That beast!" Shen Jianchang vented his anger on Shen Yanchuan.

Seeing her son slap her twice, Zhu Ying immediately felt sorry for him and protected him, saying, "Yaorong, how could you take it out on your son? If you were upset with Shen Yanchuan, go and settle the score with him."

"It's all your fault for spoiling this brat." After saying that, Shen Yaorong roared, "Come into the study with me, there's something I need to ask you."

Standing on the second-floor railing, Xia Xiaomeng coldly watched this scene, her heart filled with extreme irritation. Was this the kind of high-status marriage she was so proud of?

In the study, Shen Yaorong pressed, "Jianchang, tell me the truth, when I bought this land, did you secretly accept a bribe from someone?"

Shen Jianchang took two steps back, looking guilty. "Dad, I didn't! I didn't."

"Don't try to hide it from me. You're the one who introduced this land to me. How much of a kickback did you get to buy this piece of wasteland? Tell me, or I'll kill you!" Shen Yaorong was furious at his son's lack of ambition. How could he have given birth to such a useless and short-sighted son?

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Shen Jianchang could only cover his head in remorse and say, "I'm sorry, Dad. I took a kickback of 100 million yuan. Dad, I deserve to die."

"You..." Shen Yaorong was so angry that his chest ached. Compared to Shen Yanchuan's shrewdness and competence, he had raised an opportunistic and useless son.

Enraged, Shen Yaorong reached out to hit him again, but Shen Jianchang covered his head and begged for mercy, "Dad, don't hit me, don't hit me."

"You bastard, you better watch your hands from now on."

Zhu Ying sighed angrily outside the door. Ever since her husband stepped down, this house had been filled with the smoke of battle every day.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit," Xia Xiaomeng said as she walked over with her bag.

"Keep a closer eye on your husband from now on, don't let him run around outside all the time," Zhu Ying said, turning her head to scold him.

"Yes." Xia Xiaomeng nodded.

In a high-end dress shop, Xia Xiaomeng stood in front of a display window, gazing at the elegant evening gown under the lights, unwilling to leave.

"Young Madam, let me get it down for you to try on right away! This color suits you very well." The shop manager was very perceptive.

Xia Xiaomeng had looked into the prices; buying the whole set would cost eight million, and renting it would require a three million deposit. She couldn't afford to buy it or rent it.

"Never mind, this color doesn't suit my skin tone, let's change to another one!" Xia Xiaomeng turned her head and went to other areas to choose.

The store manager was a sensible person. Even though he knew the reason in his heart, he didn't dare to show it and still had to greet the customer warmly and introduce the store.

Xia Xiaomeng chose a million-dollar evening gown and decided to rent it for one night before leaving.

A moment later, a capable-looking middle-aged woman pushed open the door and entered the store. She was video chatting with the other party on her phone. "Grandma, do you think this set is suitable for the second young mistress?"

On the other end of the video call, Grandma Shen looked at the evening gown in the shop window and was immediately impressed. "It's beautiful, really beautiful! Let's choose this one!"

The middle-aged woman told the store manager who the other person was, and the store manager quickly smiled and introduced, "Mrs. Shen, you have excellent taste. This is our designer's latest masterpiece, and it matches the second young mistress's temperament perfectly."

"Okay, let's buy it!" the old lady readily agreed on the other end of the line.

"Okay! I'll wrap it up for you right away."

As the store manager wrote the receipt, he thought to himself, "I didn't expect it to be bought by the Shen family. I wonder if the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family will be unhappy if this second young mistress wears it out?"

After all, she has eyes to see; the eldest wife of the Shen family really liked this dress.
