I pinched my waist and petted him, and I was made to cry by the ruffian Third Master.

As soon as Su Mian left, Zhang Qiwen immediately asked loudly: "Why is she here?"

Shen Zhou did not respond to Zhang Qiwen's question, but turned around and walked directly to the living room.

When Zhang Qiwen saw this scene, she suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, so she followed Shen Zhou's footsteps.

"Shen Zhou, do you still want to continue to be entangled with her? Xiao Jing is still in a coma. Are you doing this to Xiao Jing?"

When Zhang Qiwen mentioned his younger brother, Shen Zhou's expression changed instantly.

He raised his head, stared at Zhang Qiwen with cold eyes, and said stiffly: "Are you finished?"

Zhang Qiwen's breathing suddenly stopped. She had never expected that Shen Zhou would speak to her in such a cold attitude and tone.

They can be said to be childhood sweethearts. Although she left the country after her confession was rejected, it was Shen Zhou who took the initiative to propose marriage after returning to China.

If she hadn't been unable to contact Shen Zhou and had run to Shen Zhou's villa to look for him, she wouldn't have discovered that Shen Zhou was actually in contact with Su Mian.

When they were engaged, she felt something was wrong between them when she saw Su Mian. Unexpectedly, Shen Minzhi told her that Su Mian was Shen Zhou’s ex-girlfriend, the girl who pushed Shao Jing down the stairs.

And what has Shen Zhou done now?

They were engaged, but they were entangled with the woman who hurt their brother.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiwen's eyes instantly turned red with grievance.

With red eyes, she asked, "Why are you still engaged to me if you can't forget her?"

Shen Zhou looked at the woman in front of him, feeling helpless. He sighed deeply and said slowly, "Didn't we discuss this before we got engaged?"

Zhang Qiwen's face turned stiff in an instant, and she widened her eyes. Her already red eye sockets were now like ripe apples, with tears welling up in them.

She stared straight at Shen Zhou: "You obviously know that I like you, I can't play tricks with you, I want to be your wife."

A trace of surprise flashed across Shen Zhou's eyes: "Xiao Wen, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qiwen interrupted him: "Brother Shen Zhou, I really like you, you can't hurt me like this."

Shen Zhou sighed helplessly and explained: "She and I really don't have any special relationship. She is just a nanny I hired."

However, Zhang Qiwen obviously could not accept such an explanation. She retorted excitedly: "Why did you choose her? Don't you have any selfish motives in your heart?"

Shen Zhou's face turned gloomy. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Why would I look for her? Don't you know it in your heart?"

Zhang Qiwen was startled by Shen Zhou's sudden questioning. Her body trembled slightly and her lips began to stutter uncontrollably: "I... I know? I, what do I know? What does this have to do with me?"

Shen Zhou stared at her straight, and Zhang Qiwen instantly felt a sense of oppression, and only heard Shen Zhou speak slowly.

"Do you dare to say that Su Hao's affairs have nothing to do with you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qiwen's face turned pale as paper in an instant, but she still tried to remain calm and not let herself reveal the slightest flaw.

"Su...Who is Su Hao? I don't even know him!"

Zhang Qiwen's voice trembled slightly, and he clearly lacked confidence.

However, there was no expression on Shen Zhou's face. He just looked at Zhang Qiwen with a calm and indifferent look, and his tone was still cold: "This is the last time."

Just five words, but they hit Zhang Qiwen's heart like a hammer.

The words she wanted to question in her heart were swallowed back because of Shen Zhou's attitude.

Zhang Qiwen could only look at Shen Zhou silently, his eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.

"Brother Shen Zhou, you will marry me, right?"

Zhang Qiwen finally couldn't help but break the silence and asked cautiously.

She hoped to get a positive answer from Shen Zhou to ease her inner anxiety.

Shen Zhou was silent for half a second, and then replied in an extremely indifferent voice: "Yeah."

This simple response did not bring much joy to Zhang Qiwen, but made her feel even more depressed.

She knew that Shen Zhou didn't like her and married her only for profit.

But despite this, Zhang Qiwen felt that as long as she could marry Shen Zhou, she would be very happy.

……

In the days leading up to the wedding, Jiang Gezhi did not go to work, but took Yu Sheng to the bridal shop to try on wedding dresses.

As the wedding schedule was very tight, Jiang Gezhi felt a little guilty as he had not had time to take the wedding dress and wedding photos.

Fortunately, the old man of the Jiang family attached great importance to this wedding and was personally responsible for booking the hotel banquet, purchasing wedding candies and invitations, etc. He was personally involved in everything.

Therefore, ever since the Jiang family learned that Jiang Gezhi was about to hold his wedding, everyone has been extremely busy, devoting all their efforts every day to preparing for the wedding.

The day before the wedding, the wedding dress was delivered to the villa halfway up the mountain.

After Yu Sheng tried on her wedding dress, she saw the bridesmaid dresses that were delivered with it, and immediately picked up her phone to make a video call to Su Mian.

The video call rang for a long time before it was finally answered by the other party.

Yu Sheng looked at Su Mian in the video, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked softly: "Mian Mian, do you have any free time today?"

Su Mian blinked and responded puzzledly: "What's the matter?"

Yu Sheng's smile grew brighter, and she said cheerfully, "The bridesmaid dress has been delivered. Would it be convenient for you to come over and try it on today? I'm looking forward to seeing you wearing it!"

Su Mian then realized that Yu Sheng was going to get married.

She was originally lying on the bed, but suddenly she sat up.

"Of course, I'll just wash up and be there soon."

After ending the call with Su Mian, Yu Sheng’s phone rang again.

She glanced at the screen and saw that it was the old man calling.

Yu Sheng took a deep breath, then picked up the phone and said softly, "Dad, what's the matter?"

The old man's loving voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Sheng, have you notified all your relatives and friends about tomorrow's wedding?"

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, but still quickly replied: "Dad, I only have one good friend here, no one else."

The old man seemed a little hesitant. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Then your father..."

Yu Sheng's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she interrupted the old man without hesitation: "No need to notify him."

The old man was obviously surprised by Yu Sheng's attitude, but he did not continue to ask. He just sighed softly and began to instruct Yu Sheng on some details about the marriage.

According to local customs, the newlyweds are not allowed to meet each other the night before the wedding, so Yu Sheng needs to leave from the Yu family.

After listening to this, Yu Sheng smiled and nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Gezhi immediately moved closer to Yu Sheng, put his arms around her, and then gently rested his chin on Yu Sheng's shoulder and asked gently, "Baby, what did the old man say to you?"

Yu Sheng tilted her head slightly and leaned on Jiang Gezhi's forehead, staring at the man standing behind her in the full-length mirror, and replied softly: "Dad said I have to go back to my own home to stay for one night today, you can pick me up tomorrow morning."

When Jiang Gezhi heard this, his face was full of reluctance.

"why?"

He frowned and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Yu Sheng smiled slightly and explained, "Customs."

Jiang Gezhi refused without hesitation: "No, I won't agree."

Yu Sheng turned around, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him gently on the forehead, as if to comfort a grumpy little animal, and said gently: "Okay, don't be willful, it's just one night, when Mian Mian comes, I will go with her."

Jiang Gezhi was still a little unhappy, and muttered, "Why are you going so early?"

Yu Sheng answered patiently: "Nothing is ready over there yet, we have to clean it up."

Jiang Gezhi immediately retorted: "You are pregnant now, how can you do these things? I will ask the old house to send a few people to help you clean up."

Yu Sheng nodded and agreed: "Okay."

When Su Mian came over, Jiang Gezhi had just gone out for a while because of a wedding at the hotel.

"Xiaoyu, how are the wedding preparations going?"

As soon as he sat down, Su Mian started asking impatiently.

Yu Sheng smiled and nodded: "Basically everything is ready."

Su Mian looked at Yu Sheng's face filled with a happy smile, and her heart was filled with envy.

She held Yu Sheng's hand tightly and said sincerely: "Congratulations, Xiaoyu, you are finally getting married."

Yu Sheng also held Su Mian's hand tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mian Mian."

Su Mian asked doubtfully, "Why are you thanking me?"

Yu Sheng shook her head gently and said softly: "I don't know either, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Su Mian suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her nose. She quickly pretended to be calm and said briskly, "Okay, where's the dress? Let me see my bridesmaid dress."

After hearing this, Yu Sheng stood up, handed the bag of dresses to Su Mian, and explained, "There are two dresses in here, one is Chinese style, and the other is Western style."

Su Mian nodded happily in response: "Yes, then are there any other special arrangements or procedures for tomorrow?"

Yu Sheng shook his head gently: "I don't know the specific process, but I heard that people from the planning company will be here tomorrow."

At this point, Yu Sheng seemed to suddenly remember something important, and quickly said, "Mianmian, can you accompany me back to my home tonight? Because according to traditional customs, I need to start from my own home."

Su Mian nodded without hesitation and responded: "Of course!"

Yu Sheng smiled and said, "That's great, let's pack up and get ready to go."

Su Mian then asked, "What about Jiang Gezhi? Does he know about this?"

Yu Sheng nodded again and replied, "Yeah, I've already told him in advance."

Just when Su Mian wanted to say something else, the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang.

She quickly took out her cell phone and checked the caller ID. It was Shen Zhou calling.

Recalling last night, Su Mian originally thought that Shen Zhou might not contact her again, after all, he was about to enter the marriage palace with Zhang Qiwen.

Yu Sheng noticed that Su Mian was staring blankly at the phone screen, so after hesitating for a moment, he softly suggested: "Mian Mian, if you really don't want to answer this call, how about I answer it for you?"

Su Mian slowly pulled her thoughts back to reality, shook her head gently, and said softly, "There's really nothing going on between him and me. Wait a moment, I'll take a call first."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the window. She didn't press the answer button until she was some distance away from her seat.

Shen Zhou's deep and magnetic voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Where are you?"

Su Mian held the phone tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then responded in a calm tone: "Mr. Shen, what's the matter?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Shen Zhou questioning with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you come over?"

Su Mian couldn't help but be stunned. She originally thought that Zhang Qiwen was in Shen Zhou's villa at this moment, and Shen Zhou would not let her go there again.

This morning, she struggled internally and finally decided not to go to Shen Zhou.

So, she explained calmly: "Xiaoyu is getting married tomorrow, and today she asked me to help her prepare for some matters before the wedding, so I would like to ask for leave from you."

Shen Zhou heard this and then he remembered it belatedly.

"By the way, my third brother is getting married tomorrow."

Su Mian responded in a low voice: "Yes, Xiaoyu also invited me to be her bridesmaid, so I may not be able to go to your place today or tomorrow."

Shen Zhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you in the villa halfway up the mountain now?"

Su Mian said truthfully, "I'm trying on a dress now. I'm going back to my parents' home with Xiaoyu later. According to traditional customs, the bride needs to leave her parents' home when she gets married."

Shen Zhou responded on the other end of the phone: "I will come to see you tonight."

Hearing this, Su Mian wanted to refuse immediately, but before she could say anything, Shen Zhou hung up the phone.

Su Mian held the phone in his hand, looking at the words "call ended" displayed on the screen, and a complex and indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

What exactly does Shen Zhou mean by this?

Zhang Qiwen had clearly returned, so why was he still contacting me?

Just as she was lost in thought and speculation, Yu Sheng's clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind her: "Mianmian, what did Shen Zhou say to you?"

Su Mian withdrew his thoughts, turned around, and put on a forced smile, trying to hide his inner uneasiness and confusion.

"nothing much!"

Su Mian smiled as if she was relaxed, but her eyes were flickering, as if she was avoiding something.

Yu Sheng keenly noticed Su Mian's abnormality and couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Really? Mian Mian, don't lie to me. Did something happen between the two of you?"

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Su Mian's expression paused slightly. She bit her lip and said calmly, "What could possibly happen to us? We've been fine for a long time."

Su Mian's voice sounded a little weak, as if she was trying to convince herself.

Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Mianmian, when I called you before, it was Shen Zhou who answered the phone. What's going on between you two?"

Yu Sheng stared at Su Mian closely, as if he wanted to see through her eyes the true thoughts in her heart.

A complex emotion surged in Su Mian's heart, and she didn't know how to face Yu Sheng's question.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said, "It's really nothing."

Yu Sheng didn't believe it at all.

In the end, Su Mian could only tell the truth.

"There's really nothing going on between him and me! I've just been working as a nanny in his house recently."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng showed a hint of doubt on his face: "Nanny?"

Su Mian nodded, and then briefly explained the whole story to Yu Sheng.

When Yu Sheng heard that Su Mian actually sent his father to a nursing home, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Mianmian, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yu Sheng frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

Su Mian smiled slightly and explained softly: "I know you are very busy recently, so I didn't mention this to you to avoid distracting you."

Yu Sheng was still a little unhappy after hearing this. She pouted and muttered, "No matter how busy you are, you can't not tell me. How is uncle's health now? Is there anyone taking good care of him?"

Su Mian quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, he's fine. There are people taking care of him in the nursing home. Don't worry about him. Let's go. Aren't we still going to your house?"
