Refusing to marry into a wealthy family, the richest man's uncle coaxed me into marriage

Old Madam Shen was choked by Shen Yanxi's words.

When Fu Yunrong came to deliver invitations that day, she only sent two and even mentioned specifically who they were for. She realized that the Yu family was not planning to have any contact with Shen Yanxi anymore.

But she did not stand up for Shen Yanxi.

She had no right to say anything about who the Yu family associated with and who they didn't.

Moreover, she had doubts about Mr. Shen's affairs and had no intention of speaking for Shen Yanxi.

"Are you also suspecting that I was the cause of Grandpa's fall, and that's why you have been so lukewarm towards me during this period?"

Shen Yanxi cried with grievance, "Grandma, do you remember? In the fifth year after you brought me back to the Shen family, you fell seriously ill. I was terrified and stayed by your bedside day and night. After you got better, you saw that I had lost a lot of weight, and you felt sorry for me and hugged me, saying that I would be your granddaughter in the future."

"Have you forgotten?"

"Grandpa is my closest relative, just like you. How could I harm him?"

When the past was mentioned, Mrs. Shen was touched and her cold expression softened a lot.

Her granddaughter died young, her daughter became paralyzed, and her marriage broke down. This series of blows made her life dark and miserable during that period.

It was Shen Yanxi's appearance that brought her a moment of light and comfort.

"Fu Yunrong sent out invitations but missed mine. Grandma, I feel very sad. I don't want to be forgotten."

"I have lost a lot of things. Am I going to lose even my place to stand? I dress like this because I want everyone to see me. I want everyone to know that I am still the granddaughter of the Shen family, not an orphan that no one wants."

After Shen Yanxi finished speaking, Mrs. Shen's eyes showed heartache.

Yes, she raised this child by herself, and she knows his personality best.

Although he is a bit ambitious, he definitely has no bad intentions.

Madam Shen sighed softly, "Today is Shu He's engagement party. You are wearing such red, it will steal the spotlight. The Yu family will definitely feel uncomfortable when they see you."

Shen Yanxi heard the old man's softening tone, and took her arm affectionately, leaning her head on her shoulder, "Then I will stay by your side quietly for a while without saying a word, okay?"

Madam Shen poked Shen Yanxi's forehead and said, "I'll forgive you this time, but don't be so rude next time. It will make people think that the Shen family is uneducated."

At an angle that Old Madam Shen couldn't see, Shen Yanxi smiled smugly and said in a sweet tone, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

The two returned to the banquet hall. Shen Yanxi sat quietly next to Old Madam Shen, but her dress could still be seen from the crowd.

The engagement party started quickly, following a standard procedure.

Si Tong and Yu Hanshen sat at the main table. Old Madam Yu and Fu Yunrong took turns bombarding Yu Wanning. She listened while eating the dishes that Yu Hanshen picked for her.

"I'm telling you, I've asked someone to find you a few good young men. As soon as Shu He's engagement party is over, you go meet them one by one."

Madam Yu spoke in a firm tone.

Yu Wan Ning snorted.

"What are you humming about?" Madam Yu glared at her, "You are already thirty-one, and you still think you are eighteen."

"What's wrong with being thirty-one? Can you please stop judging me with your stubborn ideas? I have money, I have good looks, and I have a good family background. If I can't marry someone I like, then I can just not get married. I can still live a carefree life on my own!"

"Listen to this bullshit!" Old Madam Yu was furious. "Can't you learn from Shu He and be more sensible?"

Yu Wan Ning rolled her eyes and said, "She hasn't even met a man she likes in her life, and she's already engaged to a man she doesn't like. I won't learn from her."

As Mrs. Yu heard her granddaughter speak more and more nonsense, she picked up the serving chopsticks at hand and threw them at her eldest granddaughter who was talking nonsense.

Yu Wan Ning stretched out her hand to block it.

The serving chopsticks popped out, and one of them went towards Si Tong's head.

Yu Hanshen quickly grabbed the chopsticks that almost hit Si Tong, and glanced at Yu Wanning.

Seeing that she had almost hit her uncle's treasure, Yu Wan Ning apologized repeatedly in a hurry, fearing that if she was a second slower, her uncle would take back the car, money and dividend rights that he had just returned to her.

"I'm sorry, are you okay, aunt?"

After Si Tong's true identity was exposed, Yu Wanning finally changed her opinion of Si Tong and sincerely apologized to her.

It was only after Yu Wanning sincerely apologized to Si Tong that Yu Hanshen lifted the punishment on her.

Si Tong curled the corners of his mouth and was about to say that he was fine when a scream suddenly came from the Shen family.

Hearing Shen Yanxi's voice, Si Tong was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw Shen Yanxi lying on the ground, with a little boy standing next to her clapping and laughing.

"I'm going to have a miscarriage! I'm going to have a miscarriage!"

Si Tong was stunned again when he saw the boy's face clearly. Even though almost a year had passed, the boy had grown taller and his appearance had changed a little.

But that didn't stop her from recognizing that he was the little boy who pushed her at Yu Zhiheng and Rong Huaqiao's wedding last year.

"Xixi!" Old Madam Shen was horrified and shouted as she went forward to help Shen Yanxi.

The severe pain in her abdomen made Shen Yanxi's face turn pale instantly, her whole body stiffened, and she couldn't even speak.

Mr. Qian's face was paler than Shen Yanxi's. Having learned from the last lesson, he kept a close eye on Zaizai this time and did not let his son stay more than one meter away from him.

Unexpectedly, while he was talking to someone, Zai Zai got into trouble again.

Mr. Qian quickly ran up to cover his son's mouth, a layer of cold sweat rolling down his forehead, "I'm sorry, Madam Shen, it's all my fault for not educating my son well. Is Miss Shen okay?"

"Do you think she's okay?" Someone had already called an ambulance. Old Madam Shen was squatting next to Shen Yanxi, not daring to touch her. When she heard what Mr. Qian said, she turned around and glared at him.

"Last year it was your son who pushed Tongtong, and this time he pushed Xixi again. I even suspect that you adults instigated him on purpose!"

Old Madam Shen was also anxious and spoke a little harshly.

Mr. Qian's heart sank, and he hurriedly explained, "Absolutely not. I, I have no grudge against Mrs. Yu and Miss Shen. How could I instigate the child to push them? The child is ignorant..."

"Ignorant? Listen to what he just said? He knows that pushing a pregnant woman will cause miscarriage. Is this what you call ignorant?"

Madam Shen's face was icy cold. "Qian Ruofeng, I didn't bother with you last time Tongtong escaped danger, but this time, the Shen family will never let you go!"

Mr. Qian’s face turned pale.

After Madam Shen finished speaking these harsh words, a buzz of discussion arose around them.

"It's no wonder that Madam Shen is anxious. Look at Miss Shen's belly. She must be nine months pregnant, right? I saw it just now. When Mr. Qian's son pushed her, Miss Shen fell straight down. If she's not careful, someone might die."

"Last time, Mrs. Yu's twins were pushed by Mr. Qian's son when they were about to give birth at nine months old. Fortunately, Mr. Yu supported Mrs. Yu, otherwise there might be three deaths and even more serious consequences."

"Mr. Qian's son is here for revenge, right? He offended this one, then that one, and all of them were big families."

"Having offended the Shen family, the Qian family will never be able to gain a foothold in Haicheng again."

The more Mr. Qian listened, the uglier his expression became.

After a moment's silence, he pulled Zaizai in front of Old Madam Shen. This time, he did not beat the child to calm Old Madam Shen down.

Instead, he squatted down, looked at his son at eye level, and said to him in a gentle tone: "Zizi, tell everyone why you pushed this auntie?"
