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

Shen Group.

After the news about the Lin family broke, Shen Guoqiang panicked completely. He kept calling to try and contact Chairman Lin, but a whole morning passed and he could no longer reach him since the news broke.

Although he knew the other party was also in dire straits, he still held onto a sliver of hope that perhaps the report was wrong.

Lin had assured him that the project was a sure thing and that JK Group would also participate, which is why he secretly emptied his coffers to invest. Now, the government has issued a planning notice, prohibiting construction, right after the contract was signed. He doesn't believe Lin was unaware of the inside story and thinks he's been played by Lin.

Shen Guoqiang was in a state of panic in his office, and things were certainly not much better at the Lin family's place!

It was because of the backing of JK Group that Chairman Lin was able to go all out and defy all opposition by mortgaging all his working capital and real estate, putting all his money into the project. So it was a do-or-die situation.

Everyone assumed this project was a sure thing, since JK Group was backing it up. When has JK Group ever made a deal that didn't make money?

Now that the government has suddenly issued this planning notice, the Lin family is in a state of panic and has convened a meeting of all senior executives early this morning.

Some shareholders are dissatisfied with Chairman Lin, saying that they had warned him before that there were risks, but Chairman Lin insisted on his own way, which led to the current situation.

Chairman Lin hadn't expected this situation. He had originally planned to contact JK Group to inquire about the situation, but to his surprise, they didn't even bother to meet with him or send him a single letter.

Given Lin's current situation, he can barely take care of himself, so how could he possibly care about Shen Guoqiang?

Shen Guoqiang was like an ant on a hot pan, frantically pacing around. He first called Lu Jiao, asking her to put the suburban house up for sale, and also asked her to organize and inventory the luxury items in the house. He had poured his heart and soul into the Shen family business and naturally didn't want to see it collapse, so he would definitely invest money to save it.

When Lu Jiao received Shen Guoqiang's call, she was completely bewildered. "Guoqiang, what's wrong? What happened?"

"You finish what I asked you to do first, I'll be right back." Shen Guoqiang hung up the phone and rushed home. He knew that if this hole wasn't filled in time, the Shen family business might change hands.

When Shen Guoqiang rushed back, Lu Jiao had already inventoried all the valuables in the house as he had instructed. Shen Ximan was also called back, and she asked in confusion, "Mom, why did Dad ask you to inventory all these things?"

"I don't know either." Just as Lu Jiao finished speaking, they heard a car drive in from outside, and the mother and daughter quickly went out to greet it.

After getting out of the car, Shen Guoqiang loosened his tie as he walked inside. "Have you inventoried everything? Has the villa in the suburbs been listed yet?"

"Everything's done, Guoqiang. What happened?" Lu Jiao and Shen Ximan followed Shen Guoqiang into the house.

Shen Guoqiang glanced at the bags and jewelry in the living room, then plopped down on the sofa. "Sell these as soon as possible."

"Why, Dad?" Shen Ximan exclaimed. There were many of her bags and jewelry inside, all of which were limited editions and very hard to buy.

Shen Guoqiang glanced at Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao, and finally said, "The project we developed together with Lin's has gone bust. The government won't allow construction, so it can only be used for public welfare projects."

"Didn't they say it was a joint investment with the Lin family and JK Group? How could it have collapsed?" Lu Jiao asked. She had asked Shen Guoqiang about this the day after he came home drunk, and she was quite happy about it then, but she never expected...

“Chairman Lin is barely able to take care of himself, how could he possibly care about us?” Shen Guoqiang saw things very clearly.

“Then… what about JK Group? Let’s try contacting them,” Lu Jiao said again.

Shen Guoqiang glanced at her. "You think it's so easy to get into JK Group? You think you can just go to someone else and they'll see you? If it weren't for getting on the Lin family's bandwagon, a company like ours wouldn't have had any chance to cooperate with JK Group. I just didn't expect it to turn out like this! Sigh!"

As Shen Guoqiang sighed, Shen Ximan suddenly spoke up, "Dad, I know someone who knows a high-ranking official at JK Group..."

After she finished speaking, she and Lu Jiao exchanged a glance. Since the company was in trouble, why not take advantage of Shen Nian one more time?

“Dad, that person is…” Shen Ximan was interrupted by Lu Jiao before she could finish speaking, “What nonsense are you talking about, Manman? How do you know people and even have anything to do with JK Group?”

Lu Jiao was unaware that Chen Tao had already been captured and imprisoned by Mo Ze, and that Shen Nian had been rescued by him long ago. She still believed that Shen Nian was in Chen Tao's hands.

We can't contact Shen Nian yet, otherwise we'll find out she's gone, and if they trace it back to Chen Tao and then to us, we'll be in trouble.

No matter what, Shen Nian is Shen Guoqiang's biological daughter. If she goes missing, he can't possibly remain indifferent and ignore her. Moreover, if he knew that Shen Nian and the president of JK Group had registered their marriage, he probably wouldn't care about those shares now and would beg Shen Nian to save the Shen family business first.

Shen Ximan was unaware that her mother was secretly trying to get rid of Shen Nian. Right now, she was reluctant to let her limited-edition bags and jewelry be sold, which was why she wanted to bring Shen Nian into the picture.

Shen Guoqiang was probably desperate and decided to try anything, ignoring what Lu Jiao said and asking Shen Ximan to tell him who could help, in this situation, who could still help the Shen Group.

Shen Ximan glanced at Lu Jiao, who knew she couldn't stop it anymore. "Then talk to your dad and see if anyone can help."

"Dad, Shen Nian can help. I heard Lin Shao say last time that..." Shen Ximan deliberately left the question hanging.

"What are you saying? Hurry up!" Shen Guoqiang urged impatiently.

"Young Master Lin said that Shen Nian and the president of JK Group have registered their marriage." Shen Ximan's words had barely finished when...

Shen Guoqiang slammed his hand on the sofa, then jumped up abruptly, shouting, "What did you say?!"

He shouted loudly.

Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao were both startled. They didn't expect Shen Guoqiang to be so agitated, and for a moment they didn't know whether he was happy or not.

Shen Ximan was so frightened that she dared not speak again and hid behind Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao protected her daughter, "Guoqiang, don't blame Manman. I only heard about this from Young Master Lin, I don't know if it's true or not..."

Shen Guoqiang was stunned for a long time. When he came to his senses, he shouted loudly, "Quick, quick, call Niannian and tell her to come back." Then he laughed and muttered to himself, "My daughter has made something of herself, hahaha. I never thought I would become the father-in-law of the president of JK Group, hahaha."

Shen Guoqiang's near-madness left Lu Jiao and Shen Ximan unsure whether revealing Shen Nian's marriage was a good or bad thing. Shen Ximan worried that Shen Nian would take her place, while Lu Jiao was even more concerned that if they couldn't contact Shen Nian, Shen Guoqiang would definitely not give up and might eventually trace it back to Chen Tao...

The mother and daughter each had their own worries and concerns.
