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

Shen Ximan was about to get angry, but when she saw Chu Yunyi's parents approaching, her expression immediately changed. "Niannian, everyone meant well, and seeing you like this really breaks my heart..."

Chu Yunyi also looked at Shen Nian with a heartbroken expression, as if she were truly beyond redemption.

Shen Nian was no longer bothered by Shen Ximan's words. She just glanced at Chu Yunyi with disappointment and prepared to walk outside.

She had just turned around when she bumped into Chu Yunyi's parents.

"Nian Nian is here~"

Chu's mother was a gentle and generous person, and she spoke in a soft, gentle voice.

"Uncle, Aunt," Shen Nian greeted the two of them.

Holding Chu Yunyi's hand in one hand and Shen Nian's hand in the other, Chu's mother said with a smile, "What's wrong with you two? You don't even go out to play anymore. Your father and I were planning to arrange your marriage after you graduate, since you're engaged."

She then turned to look at Chu Yunyi, "Yunyi, you're a boy, be more proactive. I remember you two used to be very close, why are you avoiding each other now that you're older?"

Chu Yunyi glanced at Shen Nian and said to his mother, "Mom, it's too early for marriage. I haven't even graduated yet."

"What do you mean 'early'? You're already 23 in the blink of an eye. When I was this age as Niannian, you were almost born." Chu's mother seemed not to understand her son's subtext and said with a smile.

Shen Nian looked up at Chu Yunyi, and a bittersweet feeling quietly crept into her heart.

Childhood engagements should not be taken seriously.

However, she did not expect that people's hearts could change so quickly.

Shen Nian suddenly curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile.

Several people looked at her.

"Niannian, what's making you so happy?" Chu's mother asked her gently.

“Auntie, Brother Chu is right. It’s too early to talk about marriage. We’re both still young, and there are many uncertainties,” Shen Nian said to Chu’s mother.

Hearing her call him "Brother Chu," Chu Yunyi felt a moment of disorientation, as if they were still children.

He was also somewhat moved.

The girl he's protected since childhood doesn't know how to cherish herself.

At this moment, Lu Jiao walked over and deliberately said, "Oh dear, our Niannian is still young, Guoqiang can't bear to see her get married so early."

“What’s there to be reluctant about? It’s just a short walk. Once Niannian gets married, she can come back anytime.” Mother Chu still had her heart set on Shen Nian as her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, let's talk about the wedding later. After all, today is Uncle Shen's birthday banquet," Chu Yunyi interrupted.

In fact, Shen Nian doesn't care about her engagement with Chu Yunyi anymore.

Perhaps it's because there's no longer any expectation.

Now, seeing Chu Yunyi's resistant attitude, she felt even colder.

This engagement is better off not happening.

After wandering around downstairs for a while, Shen Nian decided to ask her father for the bracelet and then go back to school.

The dorms close too late.

She couldn't find Shen Guoqiang downstairs, so she decided to go upstairs to check.

As you pass by Shen Ximan's room, you can hear Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao talking inside.

Shen Nian unconsciously stopped in her tracks.

"Mom, look at that bitch Shen Nian! She deliberately made her skirt so short to attract everyone's attention. She stole all the limelight. I bought such an expensive skirt for nothing!" Shen Ximan said angrily.

"Don't rush, let her be smug for a while. The most important thing now is that her engagement with Chu Yunyi hasn't been canceled yet. Look at Chu Yunyi's mother, she's always wanted the two of them to get married. How's it going on your end?" Lu Jiao seemed very calm.

"Don't worry, Chu Yunyi can't escape my grasp. Look at tonight, didn't he refuse his mother's marriage proposal to her face? It's not like his mother is the one getting married. If he doesn't agree, what can anyone else do!" Shen Ximan felt that dealing with Chu Yunyi was not a problem.

“That’s good. I’ve consulted a lawyer again. As long as Shen Nian doesn’t get married before she turns 22, the shares her mother gave her will automatically be transferred to your father’s name. Then they’ll all be ours,” Lu Jiao said smugly.

"That's great!" Shen Ximan exclaimed with delight.

Shen Nian was also shocked when she heard outside the door that her mother had left her shares.

After all, her mother passed away suddenly, and no one had told her about it.

She had no idea that her mother had left her company shares.

Although from the day she moved into the school dormitory, she never imagined that she would have a share in the family's property.

However, since it was left to me by my mother,

She will absolutely not let Shen Ximan and her mother get away with this!

Shen Nian turned and went downstairs, where she ran into Shen Guoqiang. "Where's my mother's bracelet? Give it to me now."

Shen Guoqiang's good mood was ruined by Shen Nian's words. He flung his hand away and said, "Hmph, all you ever think about is your mother's bracelet. You wait, I'll have your Aunt Lu get it for you."

Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief and stopped paying attention to Shen Guoqiang's bad tone and sour face.

Finally, I can get my mother's bracelet back.

About ten minutes after Shen Guoqiang went upstairs, he came downstairs with Lu Jiao and Shen Ximan.

Lu Jiao handed a jewelry box to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian opened it in front of her to confirm that it was her mother's bracelet.

We finally got it back.

Lu Jiao said sarcastically, "Niannian doesn't trust Aunt Lu, does she?"

Shen Nian put the box away, looked up at Lu Jiao, and said, "I really don't believe it. After all... I know what you did to me last night."

Shen Ximan immediately retorted, "Shen Nian, don't talk nonsense here. You know what you did, so don't blame us."

Sensing the hidden meaning in their words, Shen Guoqiang immediately pressed for details, "What happened last night?"

Shen Nian raised her head, straightened her back, and replied, "Ask your good wife and good daughter."

"Why are you asking us? Just tell your dad where you slept last night." Shen Ximan tilted her chin up, deliberately obscuring the key point.

Shen Guoqiang glanced at Lu Jiao and Shen Ximan, then at Shen Nian.

Finally, he turned to Lu Jiao and said, "You tell me, what exactly happened last night?"

Seeing Lu Jiao's hesitant expression, Shen Guoqiang guessed that something must have happened last night.

"Speak! Explain what happened last night right now!" he shouted.

At this moment, the guests had all moved to the villa garden, and apart from them, only a few servants were left in the hall tidying up.

Shen Guoqiang is usually quite strict, and Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao usually don't dare to misbehave in front of him.

Shen Ximan, in particular, was still somewhat afraid of him.

Startled by the shout, he hurriedly pulled Lu Jiao along.

If Shen Guoqiang found out what they did to Shen Nian last night, she knew that neither she nor her mother would get away with it.

Lu Jiao seemed quite hesitant as she spoke, "Guoqiang, actually I don't want to pursue what happened last night anymore. Manman wasn't seriously harmed, and Niannian is still young and doesn't understand..."
