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

Shen Huaiyu straightened his clothes: "But I will also find someone to teach you some etiquette in the next couple of days."

He didn't need Pei Jinhe to become a socialite, but he hoped that Pei Jinhe could become more outstanding and excellent.

Learning some etiquette will be useful even after you officially enter the workforce.

Pei Jinhe readily agreed: "Don't worry, I will study hard."

Anyway, there's no harm in learning more.

I remember when we were in the Ji family, Ji Yuyan's etiquette class cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Now that she has the opportunity to learn for free, she definitely shouldn't miss it.

...

Shen Feng and Shen Yan were greeted by the fragrance as soon as they entered the house.

Shen Yan sniffed the aroma in the air: "Xia Qing, what did you eat? It smells so good!"

Xia Qing sat in the rocking chair playing games, saying without looking up, "The chicken soup that Madam brought me."

Shen Yan leaned closer, grinning utterly nonchalantly: "Is there any more? Let me have a bite."

Xia Qing raised an eyebrow: "We've finished drinking, but the thermos hasn't been washed yet. We left it specifically for you two to smell."

Shen Yan and Shen Feng: "...."

Shen Feng was speechless: "Xia Qing, when did you become so despicable?"

Xia Qing said matter-of-factly, "I've always been like this."

Shen Yan looked at the empty thermos and sighed, "Why am I not so lucky? I also want to be by Madam's side and eat the delicious food she makes."

It smells so good, it must taste even better.

Shen Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Go wash up and go to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams."

...

Ji Zhenshan and his family returned home from the hospital.

Ji Yuyan's face was still swollen, and at this moment her face was blue and purple, not much different from a pig's head.

Wu Min wasn't in much better shape; her left cheek was also swollen, and the handprint on her face was still clearly visible.

Although Ji Zhenshan didn't look injured, Xia Qing's kick almost broke his ribs.

Whenever he makes a big movement, his chest hurts uncontrollably.

Their family has suffered greatly.

Ji Yuyan received a phone call from Guo Tianhao.

Guo Tianhao: "Yanyan, it seems Pei Jinhe isn't living at school anymore."

These past few days, he has had people keeping an eye on Pei Jinhe's dormitory and the research building.

Pei Jinhe went back to the dormitory a couple of days ago, but after taking her things, she went out again and got into a black car.

Those cars aren't cheap; some cost seven figures.

The people he sent out saw the car enter Lanyuan with their own eyes.

Pei Jinhe has not been seen since then.

Ji Yuyan got angry at the mention of Pei Jinhe: "Where does she live now?"

Guo Tianhao: "Lanyuan is right next to the school. The housing prices there are so high, how could she possibly afford it? Yanyan, is Pei Jinhe breaking up with Che Ge because she's hooked up with a rich man?"

Ji Yuyan's eyes were filled with jealousy: "I didn't know, my sister hasn't been home for a long time."

She knew perfectly well how expensive the houses in Lanyuan were.

If it could be bought with money, that would be fine.

The problem is, even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy it.

When she was studying at Peking University, she wanted Ji Zhenshan to buy her a house in Lanyuan so that she wouldn't have to live in the dorms.

But the salesperson said her family didn't have enough money to qualify for the purchase.

Why is it that Pei Jinhe can live in Lanyuan, a place she can't even get into?

She must have gotten benefits from Shen Huaiyu.

If it weren't for Shen Huaiyu's bad temper, eccentric personality, and unknown appearance (he probably wouldn't be very good-looking either), how could such a good thing as marrying into the Shen family have fallen into Pei Jinhe's lap?

"It seems to be true." Guo Tianhao looked down on Pei Jinhe.

I thought she was so capable, but in the end she still had to rely on a man.

I don't know where they got the nerve to throw a tantrum at Che-ge.

"Brother Tianhao, today is the anniversary of Grandma's death. I was thinking about how much Grandma loved my sister when she was alive, so I asked her to come over and offer incense to Grandma and pay her respects."

Ji Yuyan's voice was pitiful: "My sister came, but she brought bodyguards with her. After returning my parents, I beat them all up."

Guo Tianhao's heart jumped: "Yanyan, are you alright? I'll come to your house to check on you."

Ji Yuyan stopped her, saying, "No need, it's already very late, I'm already asleep."

She can't let Guo Tianhao see her like this.

Guo Tianhao said with concern, "Then you should get some rest. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Ji Yuyan cried and complained, "Brother Tianhao, it's one thing for my sister to hit me, but how could she hit my parents? My parents raised her all these years, and she repays kindness with enmity."

Guo Tianhao's disgust for Pei Jinhe grew even stronger: "Maybe she really is that kind of person, and she's just showing her true colors now."

Ji Yuyan's voice was sweet and coquettish: "Brother Tianhao, you said you would help me get the A chip."

Guo Tianhao paused for a moment: "Don't worry, I'm trying to figure something out. The security at Lanyuan is very tight, it's too difficult to sneak in. She doesn't go out much either, she hasn't even been to the research lab lately."

It's impossible to sneak in; we can only catch her when she comes out.

Ji Yuyan said in a low voice, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Wu Min sat down next to Ji Yuyan: "Yanyan, who are you talking to on the phone?"

Ji Yuyan hung up her phone and tossed it aside, saying disdainfully, "He's just a simp. Using him to deal with Pei Jinhe is perfect."

Guo Tianhao's father died early, and his mother remarried, taking him with her.

His remarried Guo family treated him badly, and his mother allowed others to bully him in order to maintain her position in the Guo family.

I remember when I was in high school, Guo Tianhao was cornered in an alley by people hired by his stepbrother.

She happened to be by the roadside and initially didn't want to get involved, but recognizing Guo Tianhao as Zhou Yuanche's lackey, she decided to call the police and save him.

Since then, she has become Guo Tianhao's ideal woman.

She also successfully connected with Zhou Yuanche through Guo Tianhao, and thrived in their circle.

Wu Min snorted angrily, "That brat has no conscience at all! If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have thrown her back to the orphanage when she was pregnant with you!"

Ji Zhenshan clutched his chest, his face grim: "She's just taking advantage of being Mrs. Shen to act like a bully in front of us."

Ji Yuyan's eyes were vicious: "Someone like her, it would be strange if Master Shen would even look at her. She might get beaten to death within days of marrying into the family."

Wu Min said coldly, "They might come back crying and begging us to take them in."

Ji Zhenshan already had other plans: "If she really comes back, I'll marry her off to another man and bring benefits to the Ji family."

The Ji family has raised Pei Jinhe for so many years, and in his opinion, it's all Pei Jinhe should do for the sake of the family's marriage alliance.

A cell phone rang urgently.

As soon as the call connected, an assistant's frantic voice came from the other end: "Mr. Ji! Something terrible has happened! The project we've been negotiating for two months has been snatched away!"
