On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!
Chapter 90 Show of Affection
Xia Xiaomeng's tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks, and she covered her lips as she sobbed softly.
The old lady frowned, and Su Chenxi also felt that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were acting very well together, one scolding and the other crying, trying to arouse the old lady's sympathy.
"Stop scolding her, Xiaomeng is a good child." The old lady couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhu Ying also started wiping away tears. "Mom, I wasn't scolding her! I just wanted her to be successful! I've always longed for a daughter, and now I treat Xiaomeng like my own daughter. This is all out of my heart!"
"Mom!" Xia Xiaomeng immediately hugged Zhu Ying's shoulders and sobbed, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for being a useless daughter-in-law and making you worry so much about me."
Su Chenxi could hardly bear to watch anymore. She exchanged a glance with Shen Yanchuan, who pulled her up and said, "Grandma, Chenxi and I will go outside for a walk and then come back."
“Go ahead!” The old lady nodded.
Zhu Ying raised her red, tear-filled eyes and pleaded, "Mom, please, for the sake of Xiaomeng, give her the opportunity to train at the foundation!"
"Mom, please don't make things difficult for Grandma. She probably thinks I'm not capable enough, so I'll pass." Xia Xiaomeng said, playing along with her mother-in-law's acting skills.
The old lady looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coldly and said, "Alright, stop crying. Aren't you ashamed in front of the younger generation?"
"Mom!" Zhu Ying immediately pulled out a piece of paper to wipe her tears. "I don't care about being ashamed, but we're both daughters-in-law of the Shen family. What's wrong with my Xiaomeng? She can do anything that Chenxi can do."
"Grandma, please give me a chance!" Xia Xiaomeng's eyes revealed her ambition.
“You and Chenxi don’t get along, and getting together will only make you both unhappy. If there are suitable positions in the Shen Group in the future, I’ll ask Yan Chuan to keep an eye out for you!” said Old Mrs. Shen.
She knew that if she didn't give them an explanation today, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wouldn't let it go. So she decided to deal with them for now.
Zhu Ying's eyes lit up. "Mom, do you mean you want to arrange a managerial position for Xiaomeng at Shen's Group?"
Xia Xiaomeng's eyes also flashed with a sharp light, and the image of Shen Yanchuan surged into her mind. In other words, she would be spending every day with Shen Yanchuan from now on.
"It depends on Yan Chuan's arrangements." Old Mrs. Shen didn't say it explicitly, and dealt with them for the time being.
"Okay, then let's go back and wait for the arrangements." Zhu Ying was finally satisfied.
"Mom, I'm going out to make a phone call," Xia Xiaomeng said, getting up to give her mother-in-law and Mrs. Shen a chance to chat alone.
“Okay, go ahead!” Zhu Ying nodded.
On the path leading to the tennis court, Su Chenxi was led there by Shen Yanchuan. He put his arm around her and said, "How about we come over and play tennis tomorrow morning?"
"I definitely can't beat you."
"Don't worry, I'll let you have your way."
"Really?" Su Chenxi smiled.
Shen Yanchuan wrapped his arms around her neck and whispered in her ear, "Be my wife and I'll always give in to you."
Su Chenxi felt a tickle in her ear and tried to dodge to the side, but the man stretched out his long arm, grabbed her wrist, and twisted it forcefully, causing Su Chenxi to spin around in place.
"Ah..." She fell to the side, but the man was prepared. He stretched out his long arm and caught her steadily in his arms. Su Chenxi's face bounced against his firm chest.
She raised her head, her cheeks flushed pink, as beautiful as peach blossoms in the evening sunset.
Su Chenxi looked into the man's hateful yet charming eyes, and shyly punched him twice. But the man's hand had already lifted her chin. Two nights apart had already made the man miss her terribly.
The man's slightly dry, thin lips pressed down with burning heat, eagerly sucking on her soft, red lips.
Kissing him in broad daylight tested Su Chenxi's fragile nerves. She reached out to push him away, but the man held her slender waist tightly and continued to kiss her deeply and passionately.
Under the shadows of the trees along the path, a pair of jealous, red-eyed eyes watched this scene. Xia Xiaomeng never expected to stumble upon Shen Yanchuan and Su Chenxi showing affection.
Just now, I saw Shen Yanchuan romantically turn around and hug her, and then I saw him take the initiative to lift Su Chenxi's chin and ask for a kiss. How much love must one have to do something so childish yet romantic?
Xia Xiaomeng's marriage has been troubled lately. Since her miscarriage, her husband seems to have developed a phobia of her and has stopped touching her. After enduring almost half a month of emptiness, Xia Xiaomeng secretly felt a surge of desire when she saw Shen Yanchuan's sexy and charming figure.
If she can get a job at the Shen Group, does that mean she will have various opportunities to get close to Shen Yanchuan?
Compared to her husband Shen Jianchang, Shen Yanchuan is now miles ahead of him.
Xia Xiaomeng glared resentfully at Su Chenxi, a cold smile playing on her lips. Even if I can't have him, I won't let you have it easy.
Dinner time.
Zhu Ying invited Xia Xiaomeng to stay for dinner. Xia Xiaomeng couldn't help but flirt with Shen Yanchuan across the table, sending him a knowing look, but unfortunately, Shen Yanchuan didn't even glance at her.
As Xia Xiaomeng left, she looked at the man watching TV on the sofa. He was tall and slender, with a noble air. He didn't make any moves, yet he exuded a captivating charm and was full of sexual tension.
Xia Xiaomeng swallowed hard. How could Su Chenxi be worthy of a man like that?
Zhu Ying got into the car with Xia Xiaomeng, and said with a look of disdain, "Xiaomeng, why can't you please the old lady? Look at Su Chenxi, she's an illegitimate child! Yet she wins the old lady's favor so much. You should learn from her."
Xia Xiaomeng nodded obediently, "I understand, Mom."
Xia Xiaomeng clenched her fists inwardly. Su Chenxi, because of you, I am even mistreated and looked down upon in my husband's family.
You are truly my nemesis in this life.
The departure of Zhu Ying and her mother-in-law made the atmosphere in the villa cheerful, and the old lady quietly called Su Chenxi over.
"Chenxi, come here, Grandma has a gift for you."
Su Chenxi asked in surprise, "Grandma, why did you give me a gift?"
The old lady took out a box and said, "Open it and take a look."
Su Chenxi picked up the box and opened it. A beautiful ruby bracelet appeared. Su Chenxi was surprised. "Grandma, this looks like the item that was auctioned this afternoon."
The old lady praised, "Not bad, it's one of the items auctioned this afternoon. After looking at it, I thought this bracelet would suit you, so I had someone specially go and bid for it."
Su Chenxi looked at her with deep emotion, "Grandma, did you specially take this picture to give to me?"
The old lady reached out and picked up another box, saying, "There's a necklace here, a gift for your mother. Please take it back to the Jiang family for me when you have time!"
Su Chenxi felt a lump in her throat. Her mother's divorce had happened so quickly that she hadn't even had a chance to tell the old lady.
"Grandma... my mom... my mom and Uncle Jiang are divorced, she doesn't live in the Jiang family anymore," Su Chenxi said bitterly.
The old lady exclaimed in astonishment, "What? They're divorced?"
Su Chenxi nodded, "Yes, we got divorced. My mom found out that Uncle Jiang had a woman outside who had given birth to twin sons for him, and she couldn't accept it, so she chose to divorce him."
"Oh! There's such a thing." The old lady sighed, but still insisted, "Take this necklace to your mother and tell her that it's a gift from me."
"Thank you, Grandma," Su Chenxi said gratefully.
The old lady held Su Chenxi's hand and assured her, "Chenxi, other men can't be trusted, but I believe that my Yan Chuan will never do anything to betray you in the future."
Su Chenxi felt even more bitter, but she had already agreed to divorce him a year later and repay the Jiang family for the kindness of the arranged marriage.
