Third Master, please restrain yourself. Our marriage is a marriage of convenience.

"This is my sister, Shen Hanyin."

After introducing Shen Hanyin, Shen Huaiyu then introduced Pei Jinhe to Shen Hanyin: "This is my wife, Pei Jinhe."

The word "Madam" sounded strangely alluring coming from Shen Huaiyu's mouth, making Pei Jinhe's ears tingle slightly. She politely greeted him, "Hello, sister."

A sense of unease crept into my mind.

If she remembered correctly, Shen Hanyin should be Jiang Ling's daughter. Shen Huaiyu's relationship with Jiang Ling and Shen Youcheng could be described as terrible, but his relationship with Shen Hanyin was quite good.

"Hello." The more Shen Hanyin looked at Pei Jinhe, the more she liked her.

She warmly pulled Pei Jinhe's hand and led her into the house: "Come inside with me, I brought you a gift."

Upon entering the living room, Shen Hanyin pulled out two large suitcases, which were packed full.

Various luxury handbags, designer jewelry, clothing, cosmetics...

Pei Jinhe stared in shock, speechless: "Sister, are these all for me?"

That's way too exaggerated.

Do the Shen family always send gifts by the box?

Shen Hanyin said casually, "You don't like it? That's okay. I'll take you shopping tonight, and I'll buy you whatever you like."

"No," Pei Jinhe shook her head repeatedly, "I mean there are too many."

"This is too much? I think it's not enough. It's all Shen Huaiyu's fault. He didn't even tell me about such a big thing as getting married, which made me so busy buying things." Shen Hanyin said, glaring at Shen Huaiyu with dissatisfaction.

She was clearly very angry that her younger brother had kept her marriage a secret.

Shen Huaiyu's expression was indifferent, and his voice was flat: "I was just afraid of disturbing your work."

Shen Hanyin pretended to be angry and said, "Is work more important than taking care of my younger siblings?"

Pei Jinhe glanced sideways at Shen Hanyin's delicate and gentle profile, her brows furrowing slightly. "Sister, you look very familiar. What do you do for a living?"

Shen Hanyin smiled gently, her red lips curving upwards: "I'm Director Yinyin."

Pei Jinhe was shocked: "Sister, so you're the director Yinyin who's won so many international awards!"

Yinyin is a big name in the film and television industry; all the movies, TV shows, and variety shows she directs are huge hits.

She is a very principled person. When choosing roles, she only looks at acting skills and not popularity. She is also very strict with actors, striving for perfection in every action and every emotion.

Anyone who has acted in Yin Yin's scripts holds a significant position in the entertainment industry.

"It's me," Shen Hanyin nodded.

Pei Jinhe's eyes sparkled as she looked at Shen Hanyin with adoration: "Sister, I love watching your dramas the most! I watch every drama you direct and every variety show you do. When will your new drama be released? I've been wanting to watch all your old dramas for ages!"

Shen Huaiyu looked at Pei Jinhe's starry eyes and felt uneasy.

Pei Jinhe had never looked at him like that before.

As a director, Shen Hanyin must be happy to see that people like her work. She said with a smile, "The new drama finished filming the day before yesterday. If everything goes smoothly, it can be broadcast normally next summer."

Pei Jinhe frowned slightly: "Then I'll have to wait a long time."

Shen Hanyin asked, "Jinhe, are you interested in entering the entertainment industry? With your looks and figure, I guarantee I can make you incredibly famous."

As a director, she has met countless handsome men and beautiful women, but Pei Jinhe is the first one she has ever felt is absolutely stunning.

That aura, that figure, that look.

Any one of them could easily dominate the entertainment industry, let alone Pei Jinhe, who possesses all three.

If she really entered the entertainment industry, even if Pei Jinhe's acting skills were terrible, she could still make Pei Jinhe a top star just based on her face.

Pei Jinhe shook her head and refused: "I don't like being the center of attention."

Shen Hanyin said regretfully, "It's such a pity."

Grandma Shen patted her on the shoulder: "Don't give me any bad advice. Jinhe is a researcher, and too much exposure will not be good for her."

Shen Hanyin exclaimed, "A researcher! That's amazing!"

She admires these researchers the most.

Then she looked at Shen Huaiyu and said, "Shen Huaiyu, you really hit the jackpot, to be able to marry such an amazing wife."

Before Shen Huaiyu could speak, the butler came in: "Madam, the master and his family have arrived."

Pei Jinhe's heart tightened, and she subconsciously looked at Shen Huaiyu.

The man's handsome face was cold and stern, his thin lips forming a cold and fierce curve, and a chilling aura surrounded him.

Old Mrs. Shen's face immediately fell: "Let them leave."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Tingshan and his family walked in, followed by Xu Yunrou.

Shen Tingshan looked at Old Madam Shen with displeasure: "Mom, what are you doing? My daughter is coming back today, how can I, as her father, not come to see her?"

Jiang Ling's gaze fell on Shen Hanyin, her smile kind and gentle: "Yinyin, why don't you greet your parents when you see them?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a loving mother who cares for her children.

The smile on Shen Hanyin's face vanished the moment they appeared, making her seem like a completely different person from the older sister who had been chatting and laughing with Pei Jinhe just moments before.

She sneered, "I don't want to shout, and besides, you're not worthy!"

Shen Tingshan and Jiang Ling were humiliated in public, and their expressions were not good.

Pei Jinhe's eyes flickered.

The Shen family's situation was far more complicated than she had imagined.

"Why are you here?" Old Mrs. Shen looked at Xu Yunrou with a cold and indifferent gaze.

The Xu family and the Shen family had some acquaintance, but not much. Xu Yunrou often visited the Shen family's old residence, and she was well aware of Xu Yunrou's thoughts.

She disliked Xu Yunrou, always feeling that the child was scheming and had a wicked heart.

Jiang Ling pulled Xu Yunrou aside: "I met Yunrou at the door and brought her in."

"Grandma, this is a tonic I brought for you. It's a hundred-year-old wild ginseng."

Xu Yunrou presented the two of them with the gifts she had carefully prepared: "Sister Hanyin, these are skincare products for you."

Grandma Shen said indifferently, "No need, it's too expensive. Given the relationship between our two families, it's not appropriate to give such an expensive gift."

In reality, a hundred-year-old wild ginseng is nothing to the Shen family. Old Mrs. Shen's statement was just an excuse she didn't want.

Shen Hanyin didn't answer, not even lifting her eyelids: "I only use custom-made skincare products. I dare not use anything else, for fear of ruining my skin."

These words showed Xu Yunrou absolutely no mercy.

Xu Yunrou's hand, which was about to give the gift, froze in mid-air; she didn't know whether to give it or not.

Jiang Ling stood up and spoke up for Xu Yunrou: "Mom, our family and the Xu family have been friends for decades. No matter what, this is Yunrou's heartfelt wish."

She took the gift, easing Xu Yunrou's embarrassment.

Xu Yunrou looked at her with gratitude.

I really don't know how such a gentle and virtuous Aunt Jiang could give birth to such an arrogant and domineering daughter as Shen Hanyin.
