Shen Jianxing felt a sudden chill, like an ice pick piercing his bones, surge through his body, and he looked up in a panic.

That glance brought them face to face with Shen Xuejian's icy, piercing eyes.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

This was the first thought that popped into Shen Jianxing's mind.

Even from that brief exchange of glances, Shen Jianxing could foresee the tragic end that awaited him.

Given his sister's aloof and ruthless personality, she will definitely find an excuse to spar with him later.

Then... he'll beat himself to a pulp.

Shen Jianxing had lost count of how many times he had experienced this situation.

In any case, he was always the one who was like a helpless little chick, easily manipulated.

The thought of being beaten until he cried and groaned again in a little while filled him with deep regret.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

"Serves you right for being so talkative!"

At this moment, Shen Jianxing wished he could slap himself hard across the face twice.

At the same time, he even started to resent Shen Shuchou, who was standing next to him. Shen Jianxing couldn't help but glare at him fiercely again.

Shen Shuchou: "..."

He thought to himself: "Have you lost your mind? You've gone crazy from frequenting prostitutes."

Then, Shen Jianxing, who had been looking down, suddenly had a bright idea. He quickly put on a serious expression and said to Shen Shuchou, "Third brother! Why don't you bring your wife out for Father and Mother to see?"

These words were spoken.

The room fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and several pairs of eyes, like sharp arrows, focused on Shen Shuchou.

Even Shen Xuejian was no exception; a look of surprise flashed across her cold eyes.

Seeing that his attention had been successfully diverted, Shen Jianxing adopted a posture of waiting for the show to begin.

As for Shen Shuchou, the person in question, he calmly said, "The winter mornings are quite chilly. Once it gets a little warmer, I will bring her here so that my father and mother can see her."

Shen Jianxing couldn't help but secretly give Shen Shuchou a thumbs up. He really hadn't expected Shen Shuchou to have such courage to say those words.

He himself usually has to hide and be very careful when he goes out to have an affair, let alone bring her home directly.

If they really dare to do that, it won't just be the eldest sister beating them up unilaterally, but a combined attack from all three of them.

"How dare you! How dare you bring a strange woman home!"

Shen Zhoucheng immediately roared in anger.

"Shu Chou! Don't blame your father for being angry. Our Shen family isn't a place where just anyone can come in. Your father is just afraid that you'll be deceived."

Li also joined in, fanning the flames with a sarcastic tone and a sharp glint in her eyes.

Shen Shuchou remained silent, standing there like a statue, his face expressionless, showing no intention of refuting the two.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly awkward, Wang Lan looked at Shen Shuchou with heartache, and then slowly stood up from her chair.

She said softly, "Shuchou is not young anymore. If he truly likes a woman, that is his own choice. If the woman has a clean background, we as parents should not interfere too much."

"No way! I have my own plans for his marriage. The youngest daughter of the Shan family, Shan Mengsheng, is interested in him and even mentioned the marriage to me recently."

Shen Zhoucheng suppressed his anger and spoke calmly.

After these words were spoken, the room fell into a deathly silence once more.

Standing next to Shen Shuchou, Shen Jianxing's mouth gaped open, his face filled with disbelief.

He had also had the privilege of seeing that woman once before. Although she was petite like a child, she had a shapely and graceful figure, like a willow swaying in the breeze, yet she was also light and agile.

Her face was exceptionally beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like stars, a delicate nose, and slightly upturned cherry lips. She was truly a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

Especially those two full and plump jade rabbits on her chest, which seem to contain endless charm and allure, hop and skip as she walks, just like lively and playful jade rabbits descending to earth.

With a lively spirit and a touch of innocence, she has a mischievous appearance that is simply endearing.

The Shan family, to which she belongs, is truly extraordinary; according to rumors, they are backed by cultivators.

Who exactly are cultivators? To these mortals, they are like gods who sit high in the clouds, transcending the mundane world.

And how could such a beautiful young lady be so fond of Shen Shuchou?

Shen Jianxing found it hard to accept this result, filled with doubt and confusion.

He racked his brains but couldn't understand what Shen Shuchou's extraordinary charm was. Could it be that he could do whatever he wanted and be omnipotent just because of his outstanding appearance?

"Thank you for your kind offer, Father, but I have already made up my mind that I will only have one wife in this life."

Shen Shuchou spoke calmly and steadily, yet with unwavering determination.

boom!

"you......"

Upon hearing Shen Shuchou's words, Shen Zhoucheng was instantly enraged. He slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise seeming to shatter the surface.

"Shuchou, tell your mother, where does that girl come from?"

Wang Lan was extremely anxious and quickly asked first, her face full of concern and urgency.

Shen Shuchou made no attempt to conceal anything, and instead recounted all of Wu Shushuang's experiences.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lan was instantly stunned, her eyes trembling violently.

She suddenly remembered that she had begged Shen Zhou to arrange a marriage for Shen Shuchou, with the other party being the fifth most prestigious family in Yunzhou.

The Fifth Family and the Wang Family had business dealings in the past.

On one occasion, she met the adorable and delicate Fifth Shushuang, who was like a porcelain doll. It was this fleeting glimpse that led to their childhood betrothal.

At that time, she also showed the marriage contract to the still young Shen Shuchou and said with a smile, "See? Your mother has found you a wife."

Subsequently, due to the great distance between the two families and the fact that their businesses had almost no overlap with the Shen family's, the two families parted ways.

Time flies, and more than a dozen years have passed in a flash. Even Wang Lan has gradually forgotten this past event in the long river of time.

If Shen Shuchou hadn't mentioned it, she probably still wouldn't have been able to recall it. However, Wang Lan never expected that the Fifth Family would suffer such a tragic change.

Upon hearing about Wu Shushuang's plight, a hint of pity flickered in Shen Xue's usually cold eyes.

Even Shen Jianxing, who was standing to the side, lowered his head slightly. Thinking of what he had said yesterday, he felt even more guilty and embarrassed.

Although he usually liked to ostracize Shen Shuchou, he never thought of such a beast.

However, these words, when they reached Shen Zhoucheng's ears, did not arouse any pity. Instead, he said coldly, "Since that's the case, then she has no right to step into my Shen family. It's just a marriage contract, so it's null and void right now."

"From this day forward, expel her from the Shen family. I will then arrange for you to meet with Shan Mengsheng."

Shen Zhoucheng ignored the expressions of those around him and continued speaking to himself.

"Those I have chosen need no one else's unwarranted judgment."

Shen Shuchou raised his eyes and looked directly at Shen Zhoucheng with a calm expression, but his words seemed to contain a surging storm gathering within them.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted from Shen Zhoucheng to Shen Shuchou, and their expressions varied.

As for Shen Jianxing, he was speechless at this moment. He had only wanted to watch the show and put Shen Shuchou in an awkward situation.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuchou brought him more and more shocks, and now he is openly confronting his father.

"Rebellious son! Presumptuous..."

Upon hearing Shen Shuchou's voice of resistance once again, Shen Zhoucheng immediately stood up from his chair and strode aggressively toward Shen Shuchou.

However, in the next instant, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Get out of the way! This unfilial son must be taught a lesson today, so he'll understand who really is in charge of the Shen family!"

Shen Zhoucheng glared angrily at Wang Lan, who was blocking his way.

Wang Lan's face instantly darkened. Far from backing down, she shouted sharply, "Shen Zhoucheng, you're the one who's being insolent!"

Shen Zhoucheng was slightly stunned, clearly taken aback by the sudden rebuke.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Lan's icy voice rang out again: "I don't care about your affairs with the Shan family, but the girl my son has chosen is the one I, Wang Lan, approve of. I've let bygones be bygones regarding the past, but if you still insist on forcibly separating them, I, Wang Lan, will take Shu Chou back to the Wang family today."

"you......"

Shen Zhoucheng, enraged, pointed his finger at Wang Lan.

Wang Lan slapped his hand away without hesitation, her tone resolute and unwavering: "Don't point fingers at me! I, Wang Lan, mean what I say! Shen Zhoucheng, don't forget whose credit you have for your achievements today. If you have even a shred of responsibility as a father, then don't interfere in your child's life's most important matter."

"Now that I've said this much, your thoughts are entirely up to you."

After uttering these final words, Wang Lan turned and tightly grasped Shen Shuchou's hand before resolutely leaving the place.

Only a few people remained in the room, speechless, along with Shen Zhoucheng's bloated body trembling with anger.

Li's gaze shifted from the departing Wang Lan. She never expected that Wang Lan, who had always been gentle and virtuous, would suddenly erupt in such a rare outburst of anger.

Moreover, her intuition clearly told her that this was no bluff.

"Please don't get angry. Your sister did all this for the sake of the child."

Li walked gracefully to Shen Zhoucheng's side and gently comforted him.

"snort!"

Shen Zhoucheng snorted coldly, then turned and left in a huff. Seeing this, Li Shi hurriedly followed him.

In the blink of an eye! In the huge room, only Shen Xuejian and Shen Jianxing, who was standing to the side in a state of fear and trepidation, remained.

Seeing that Shen Xuejian's gaze was not focused on him, Shen Jianxing tried to sneak away.

Before he could even put one foot on the ground, a chilling voice came from behind him: "Stop."

"Sister, you must be hungry. I'll cook for you myself. What would you like to eat?"

Shen Jianxing said cautiously.

However, Shen Xuejian remained unmoved. She slowly walked to Shen Jianxing's side and said coldly, "I'm not hungry."

Ugh!

Shen Jianxing knew in his heart that he couldn't escape this beating no matter what, so he could only hang his head dejectedly and ask, "Sister, what's the reason this time?"

Shen Xuejian parted her lips slightly and said softly, "I don't like the smell of rouge on you."
