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

In the banquet hall, Su Chenxi led Shen Yanchuan to her mother and Jiang Liguo, and called out, "Mom, Uncle Jiang."

"Mom, Uncle Jiang," Shen Yanchuan greeted.

Jiang Liguo happily took Shen Yanchuan's hand and said, "Yanchuan, thank you so much. You gave me hope to revive the company."

"Uncle Jiang, you're too kind. We're family, so naturally we help each other out," Shen Yanchuan replied with a smile.

Su Chenxi thought of how Shen Yanchuan threatened her with his contract to sign a supplementary divorce agreement. At that time, this man was cold-blooded to the point of being ruthless. Now, doesn't he feel hypocritical to say these things?

Su Chenxi deliberately glanced at the man with a faint look of disdain, using her eyes to scold him for being hypocritical.

How could someone as perceptive as Shen Yanchuan not sense her meaning?

Instead of getting angry, he wrapped his long arm around her and pulled her affectionately into his arms. "Mom, Uncle Jiang, I'm taking Chenxi to meet an elder."

After saying that, before Su Chenxi could even exchange a word with her mother, he was pulled away by the man.

Jiang Liguo watched them leave from behind, his gaze towards Su Chenxi filled with resentment. Now, Jiang Liguo felt more and more that Su Chenxi had taken advantage of his Jiang family.

If it weren't for his mother saving Old Madam Jiang back then, how could he have gotten this opportunity for a marriage alliance? This was a golden opportunity for his Jiang family, but it benefited an outsider like Su Chenxi.

"It's obvious that Yan Chuan really likes Chen Xi!" Su Meifen said with a smile.

Jiang Liguo gave a sarcastic snort, "I should thank you for giving birth to such a daughter."

Su Meifen's smile froze. She looked at her husband, a look of guilt flashing in her eyes. "Why are you still bothered by this?"

"If I hadn't taken pity on you and taken you in back then, would you have had the chance to become Mrs. Jiang? Su Meifen, you better remember this: you, this illegitimate daughter, are enjoying the blessings of my Jiang family's descendants." After saying this, Jiang Liguo turned and left.

Su Meifen stood there, feeling somewhat lost. She picked up her bag and went to the balcony for some fresh air.

At this moment, Su Chenxi was led by Shen Yanchuan to a bar. He picked up a glass of red wine, took an elegant sip, and stared at her with narrowed eyes. "If you have any opinions about me, say them out loud."

Su Chenxi choked for a moment, then smiled sheepishly, "No! I have no objections whatsoever."

Shen Yanchuan smiled, a hint of smugness in his eyes, and scoffed, "Dare not say? Then what did that look in your eyes mean just now?"

"I was wrong, okay?" Su Chenxi clasped her hands together, begging for forgiveness.

Does this man really want to get to the bottom of this?

Shen Yanchuan's icy expression crumbled upon seeing her like this.

He chuckled, his thin lips curving upwards as he leaned closer to her, his magnetic voice slightly husky, "Alright, I'll forgive you because you're so adorable."

The pleasant bass voice rang in Su Chenxi's ears, and the faint, cool woody scent emanating from the man wafted past her nose, carrying a bewitching charm. Su Chenxi's heart raced, and her brain seemed to go numb.

This scene was witnessed by Jiang Yao as she came out of the restroom, and her jealousy was about to overflow.

What kind of bewitching magic did Su Chenxi use to bewitch Shen Yanchuan like this?

"I'll go say hello to my mom." Su Chenxi turned and left, her face flushed.

Behind her, Shen Yanchuan watched her retreating figure with a doting smile on his lips.

This scene made Jiang Yao clench her fists in anger, and she glared resentfully at Su Chenxi's figure.

Su Chenxi went to where her mother had been, but found that she was not there. She looked around and asked around.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Zhu Ying, adorned with jewels, walked in arm in arm with another well-dressed woman.

"Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Gu, this way please." The manager stepped forward to greet them without any hesitation.

Zhu Ying was accompanied by the eldest wife of the Gu family, her close friend from a wealthy family, Ji Xinyue.

Zhu Ying still holds a very influential position in the Shen family. At this moment, all the wealthy ladies and young women present greeted her respectfully.

Even though she is no longer the chairperson of the Shen Foundation, her status as the eldest wife of the Shen family is not to be underestimated.

Su Chenxi looked up and saw Zhu Ying and Ji Xinyue. She tensed up a bit. To be honest, she really didn't like dealing with the elders of the Shen family.

Zhu Ying's gaze immediately fell on Su Chenxi. Looking at her stunning dress and jewelry that outshone everyone else, she felt a surge of anger. The old lady truly doted on her.

She came over arm in arm with Ji Xinyue, and Su Chenxi had no choice but to greet her, "Auntie, you've arrived."

After saying that, she greeted Mrs. Gu, "Good evening, Mrs. Gu."

"Second Young Mistress, there shouldn't be any problem with the jewelry I returned, right? I'm worried you'll come after me again!" Ji Xinyue said sarcastically.

"Mrs. Gu is too kind. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble," Su Chenxi replied with a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault as an elder for not educating the younger generation of the Shen family well. Please don't hold it against her for my sake," Zhu Ying said.

"Aying, this is where you, as an elder, are wrong. You should teach her about female virtues. You don't know that night, I almost thought she was my niece-in-law!"

Su Chenxi's face flushed as she looked at the two people putting on an act, clearly trying to undermine her.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Gu, please forgive me for any offense." Su Chenxi had no choice but to apologize.

"Oh! What happened?" Zhu Ying asked again.

“Your niece-in-law was so arrogant that day! She teamed up with my nephew to threaten me into returning the jewelry. She’s a married woman, yet she still tried to seduce me, a family man. What kind of behavior is this?”

A group of wealthy wives and socialites were gathered around, watching the spectacle. Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, they immediately thought of the rumors between Su Chenxi and Gu Heting. They never expected to be able to get their hands on this gossip right now.

Zhu Ying raised her voice slightly, "Niece-in-law, now that your mother-in-law is no longer alive, it is my duty to keep an eye on you. Our Shen family doesn't expect you to be obedient and virtuous, but at least you should be dutiful and a good wife. How can you just seduce outsiders?"

This statement seems to confirm the fact that Su Chenxi did not fulfill her duties.

Standing in the crowd were Jiang Yao and Xia Xiaomeng, who found it particularly satisfying to see Su Chenxi being lectured by Zhu Ying.

Su Chenxi's face flushed slightly, and she bit her lip as she said, "Auntie, you've misunderstood. Young Master Gu and I are just friends."

"Friendship? Ha! I saw you and my nephew exchanging glances. Let me ask you, did my nephew threaten me for your sake?" Ji Kexin couldn't swallow her anger. Tonight, she came to cause trouble for Su Chenxi.

"Sigh! I really don't understand. She's already the second young mistress of the Shen family, what else could she possibly want?"

"You don't understand. A restless person at heart will never be satisfied, no matter how good a man is offered to her."

"I never thought that even a handsome man like Young Master Shen would be cuckolded."

These words reached Su Chenxi's ears. She felt bitter inside, but she couldn't refute them all. Besides, the Shen family was the host tonight, and she couldn't make things difficult for the guests.

Not far away, Shen Yanchuan's gaze was searching for Su Chenxi. When he looked up, he saw her standing in front of Zhu Ying, her head lowered, her posture like that of a child being scolded.

Meanwhile, the female guests watching the spectacle were whispering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with mockery.

It's obvious what his wife is going through.

"Excuse me for a moment." Shen Yanchuan said to a middle-aged man he was chatting with, and walked towards Su Chenxi.
