A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Shen Nian stood up and swept a cold gaze over the three of them.

I wasn't planning on paying any attention to these people, but they just kept coming up to me and chattering away in my ear.

"Are you done talking?" Shen Nian asked coldly.

The three of them were stunned at the same time. One of the girls rushed forward and said, "Hey, what's with your attitude? Xi Man is doing this for your own good, and you don't even know how to be grateful."

"Gratitude?" Shen Nian sneered. "Should I thank her mother for being a mistress? Or thank her for usurping my place, taking over my room, and stealing my things?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Ximan shouted, losing her temper, when Shen Nian mentioned that Lu Jiao was a mistress.

"That's right, what nonsense are you talking about? tide Man is the eldest daughter of the Shen Group, why would she need to steal your things!" The little follower directly pushed Shen Nian.

Shen Nian was caught off guard and took a few steps back before regaining her balance.

The three people surrounded her again.

"Look, she's holding a men's suit in her hand. It's probably her sugar daddy's. She's really bold to come out and shop in the mall so openly."

"Yeah, they're shameless. Are mistresses really this brazen these days?"

Shen Ximan looked at Shen Nian smugly, extremely arrogant, relying on her superior numbers.

She feigned pitifulness, saying, "Actually, my parents were childhood sweethearts; they've known each other since they were little. It was her mother who forced my father to marry her because her family was wealthy. My mother was already pregnant at the time..."

"So her mother is the mistress, stealing someone else's husband and still has the nerve to do it!" The lackey, incited, pointed at Shen Nian indignantly.

Shen Nian was furious at Shen Ximan's twisted words.

Her chest heaving, Shen Nian shouted angrily at Shen Ximan, "You're talking nonsense! Call Shen Guoqiang here and ask him who forced him to marry her!"

Shen Ximan's two henchmen restrained her from the left and right.

"Xi Man, if you can't bring yourself to do it, we'll teach her a lesson today. She doesn't act like a proper younger sister at all." After one of the girls finished speaking, she raised her hand and swung it towards Shen Nian's cheek.

Shen Nian was being pulled by another girl, while Shen Ximan stood in her way.

She instinctively closed her eyes as she watched the slap about to land on her face.

The expected pain did not materialize.

A scream came from beside her, "Ouch~ my hand, it hurts so much, let go~"

Shen Nian opened her eyes and saw that Mo Ze was holding her little follower's wrist.

The henchman looked pained, as if his wrist was about to be broken, and kept groaning in pain.

Shen Ximan saw Mo Ze suddenly appear and felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

She stepped forward, adopting a delicate and vulnerable demeanor in front of Mo Ze, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Sir, could you please let go of my friend's hand? I'm not sure if you've mistaken me for someone else~"

Shen Ximan would never associate Shen Nian with the tall, handsome, and incredibly dashing Mo Ze.

I thought he was just someone who stood up for what was right.

Mo Ze glared at her with a fierce look.

Shen Ximan was so frightened that she unconsciously took two steps back.

Shen Nian was worried that something bad might happen; it would be troublesome if she really broke that girl's hand.

After all, it's my own business; it's not good to involve the older man.

Shen Nian gently tugged at Mo Ze's clothes, and Mo Ze finally let go of her hand.

Then he raised his eyelids and glanced indifferently at the three people in front of him. His powerful aura silenced them all, and they dared not speak.

Shen Ximan finally remembered where she had seen Mo Ze before.

He's the man who drugged Shen Nian last time, the one the Emperor Hotel owner called 'Second Brother' in the next room.

Thinking of this, Shen Ximan mustered her courage and stepped forward again. "Hello, I am Shen Ximan from Shen Group. I was just chatting with my sister. I'm sorry for making you misunderstand."

Mo Ze glanced coldly at Shen Ximan, pursed his lips, and didn't reply.

Shen Ximan mustered her courage and continued, "Actually, my sister... sigh, although it's true that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, this kind of thing—knowing someone is a mistress—is absolutely intolerable and unacceptable to our family." As she spoke, Shen Ximan looked at Shen Nian, "Nian Nian, you should break up with that old man of yours as soon as possible. Don't do this kind of thing anymore. I'll give you money if you need it. If you continue to be so stubborn, Dad really won't care about you anymore."

Shen Ximan said that family scandals should not be aired in public, but she started lecturing Shen Nian in front of Mo Ze, an outsider.

It was obvious they wanted to embarrass her.

Mo Ze seemed not to hear Shen Ximan's words. He took his coat from Shen Nian, hung it on his wrist, and then took Shen Nian's hand and said softly to her, "Let's go."

"Okay," Shen Nian replied softly. She didn't want to get entangled with Shen Ximan, so she followed Mo Ze.

Shen Ximan and her two followers stared in disbelief at the scene.

Shen Ximan, in particular, was stunned when she saw Mo Ze taking Shen Nian's hand and speaking to her so gently.

He... wasn't he just passing by...?

How could they know each other!

A surge of intense jealousy enveloped her once again.

A pair of eyes stared fiercely at the departing figures of Shen Nian and Mo Ze.

At that moment, one of the girls suddenly exclaimed, "I know who he is!"

This girl's family is also in business, so she knows a bit about business news.

She remembered seeing Moser's photo in JK Group's annual magazine before.

"He seems to be the president of JK Group..." the girl said.

Another girl who was about to hit Shen Nian panicked. "What? What should we do?" She grabbed Shen Ximan. "Ximan, didn't you say your sister was being kept by an old man? How did she get involved with the president of JK Group? What should we do? Have we offended JK Group? My dad will definitely beat me to death if he finds out."

The girl seemed very anxious, clutching Shen Ximan's clothes tightly with both hands.

Shen Ximan never expected that Shen Nian, that bitch, would get involved with the president of JK Group.

However, she still pretended to be calm and said, "That's the president of JK Group. Do you think he would be interested in my sister? Don't worry."

"But..." the girl wanted to say something more.

After all, although the two of them weren't intimate just now, the president of JK Group clearly treated Shen Nian differently.

"Don't worry, the president of JK Group would never sacrifice his own interests for someone like my sister," Shen Ximan said confidently.

The other two girls exchanged glances.

We had no choice but to believe Shen Ximan's words.

Originally, it was because the Shen Group was bigger than their family's business that they were willing to follow Shen Ximan and become her followers.

Besides, both of them believed that even if the JK Group really caused them trouble, they would probably target the Shen Group first.

They comforted themselves while silently praying that their family business wouldn't get into trouble because of this.
