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

Xu Yunrou's reaction was exactly as he expected. She grabbed Shen Youcheng's arm, her voice filled with anxiety: "Brother Youcheng, you have to help me! I really like Brother Huaiyu!"

She knew that the Ji family was a small, second-rate family. Even the Ji family's own daughters were not qualified to marry into the Shen family, let alone Pei Jinhe, who was an adopted daughter.

An adopted daughter! What right does she have to enter the Shen family's gate?!

"I also want to help you. I think you are the perfect daughter-in-law for the Shen family. You are also deeply in love with Huaiyu. It would be wonderful if Huaiyu could marry you."

Shen Youcheng sighed with regret, "But they're all married. How can I help you? If they weren't married, I could put in a good word for you with Grandma."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Xu Yunrou's eyes: "Getting married doesn't mean you can't get a divorce."

It would be even better if Pei Jinhe were dead.

She didn't believe the Ji family would care whether she lived or died; she was just an adopted daughter.

If she really cared, Pei Jinhe wouldn't have the surname Pei.

With so many unexpected things happening every day, it's perfectly normal for Pei Jinhe to have an accident.

However, killing her seems too lenient. What if she becomes Shen Huaiyu's ideal woman?

They need to ruin her first, force Pei Jinhe to divorce Shen Huaiyu, and then deal with her.

Having achieved his goal, Shen Youcheng's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Although Xu Yunrou is stupid.

But a person's jealousy is a terrible thing.

It would be wonderful if it could succeed.

Without Pei Jinhe, what will Shen Huaiyu do about developing intelligent medical robots?

Shen Huaiyu has invested a lot of money in this project. If it fails, we can use this to force Shen Huaiyu to step down.

It doesn't matter if Xu Yunrou fails.

Anyway, it wasn't him who gave the order.

No matter how you look at it, he's not at a disadvantage.

Jiang Ling sighed and said to Old Madam Shen, "Did Yunrou say anything? Just kicking her out like that really damages the Shen family's reputation."

Shen Hanyin said sarcastically, "If you're not happy, you can go with her."

Shen Tingshan slammed his fist on the table in anger: "How dare you talk to your mother like that!"

Shen Hanyin laughed, a laugh full of sarcasm and a hint of bitterness: "So you knew she was my mother. I thought I was unwanted."

Jiang Ling looked at Shen Hanyin with a guilty expression: "Yinyin, it was wrong of me to neglect you back then. It was your brother's poor health when he was young, and there was nothing I could do about it."

Shen Hanyin felt disgusted by her pretentious manner: "You talk a good game, are you sure you're not blaming me for stealing his nutrients when I was in your belly?"

These words left Jiang speechless.

Shen Youcheng was born thin and small and spent a week in an incubator, while Shen Hanyin was plump and healthy.

Shen Hanyin is just a girl; she can't possibly play as important a role as the eldest son.

If she had only been pregnant with Shen Youcheng, Shen Youcheng's health wouldn't be so poor, and he wouldn't be sick every few days.

At the time, she was afraid that Shen Youcheng would not be able to raise her properly, after all, Shen Youcheng was her only hope and her bargaining chip for marrying into the Shen family.

Every time Shen Youcheng got sick, she couldn't help but blame Shen Hanyin, feeling that it was all her fault. She thought that if Shen Youcheng hadn't been competing with her for nutrition, Shen Youcheng wouldn't have gotten sick.

If only Shen Hanyin were the one with poor health.

So whenever Shen Youcheng got sick, she wouldn't feed Shen Hanyin and would use the most sarcastic and mean language to call Shen Hanyin a debt collector.

When Shen Youcheng caught a cold and had a fever, she locked Shen Hanyin up so that she could also experience what it's like to have a cold and fever.

Shen Tingshan shared the same thought; he also believed that Shen Hanyin had taken away Shen Youcheng's nutrition, which caused him to fall ill. Therefore, neither of them treated Shen Hanyin well.

Shen Hanyin's childhood was also difficult.

After learning about this, Grandma Shen took Shen Hanyin to live with her and take care of her.

Although she disliked Jiang Ling, the child was innocent, and Shen Hanyin was truly pitiful.

Although Shen Hanyin is Shen Youcheng's younger sister, she grew up with Shen Huaiyu.

Shen Huaiyu didn't hold a grudge against Shen Hanyin just because she was Jiang Ling's daughter, but he still felt a little resentful. Although their relationship wasn't as close as that of siblings, it was still acceptable.

Pei Jinhe didn't say a word the whole time.

Perhaps it was because of a similar experience that she couldn't help but sympathize with Shen Hanyin.

However, the Ji family were only her adoptive parents, so even if they treated her badly, she wouldn't be too upset.

But Shen Tingshan and Jiang Ling are Shen Hanyin's biological parents.

Being treated like this by her own parents must have been extremely painful for Shen Hanyin.

It turns out that there really are parents in the world who don't love their children.

The maid came over to remind them that it was time for lunch.

The food on the table was almost all of Shen Huaiyu, Pei Jinhe, and Shen Hanyin's favorite dishes. Before Shen Tingshan and the other two arrived, Old Madam Shen hadn't even asked the kitchen to prepare their meals.

They showed up uninvited.

Madam Shen used serving chopsticks to put food on Pei Jinhe's plate: "Jinhe, this is your favorite steamed fish."

Looking at the fish meat in front of her, which had not a single bone, Pei Jinhe felt a warm glow in her heart. She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Madam Shen served food to Shen Huaiyu: "Huaiyu, this is a new dish developed by the chef. Try it and see how it tastes."

Shen Huaiyu took a bite and, being very polite, said, "It tastes good."

Madam Shen placed another piece of beef into Shen Hanyin's bowl: "Yinyin, I know you're on a diet, this beef is low in calories."

Shen Hanyin smiled sweetly: "Grandma, you understand me best."

The four of them were having a great time, and Shen Tingshan and his two companions couldn't join in at all.

Jiang Ling said unhappily, "Mom, Youcheng is also your grandson."

This old lady's preferential treatment is too obvious.

Even Pei Jinhe, her granddaughter-in-law, served food to him, but not to Shen Youcheng.

"Then you eat too." Old Mrs. Shen didn't even glance at her, her tone as perfunctory as could be.

"grandmother."

Shen Youcheng suppressed the surging anger in his heart, forced a smile, and took the initiative to serve food to Old Madam Shen.

Just as the dish was about to be placed in Mrs. Shen's bowl, she moved the bowl aside, causing the dish to fall onto the table.

Her tone was neither warm nor cold: "No need, I can use it myself."

Shen Youcheng clenched his fist tightly under the table.

That old bastard is actually targeting him so blatantly!

"Grandma, the chicken soup is very delicious today, please try it." Shen Hanyin ladled a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of Madam Shen.

Madam Shen immediately changed her expression, beaming from ear to ear: "Yinyin is so sensible."

Pei Jinhe imitated her, saying, "Grandma, I remember you liked to eat this."

Madam Shen smiled and praised, "Jinhe is truly my good granddaughter-in-law."

Pei Jinhe raised an eyebrow at Shen Huaiyu, as if to say, "Aren't you going to be with one?"
