Chapter 33

to the same world,” she pursed her lips and continued, “Mr. Song, there aren’t that many smart people in the world. Ordinary people like us can only try to catch up through hard work. Do you think so...Xu Manman didn't understand, but she still did as she was told. She took the card and walked over.

Seeing this, Mother Gu's face turned pale.

She hurried forward to snatch the card, but Shen Yian raised his hand to stop her.

"Auntie, didn't you say the money on this card was for me Of course I have to take a look."

"You, you... You don't believe me" Gu's mother stammered.

"Trust is important, but seeing is believing. I think you all also want to know how kind my aunt really is, right" Shen Yian smiled and looked at the colleagues around him.

Everyone nodded, but Gu Mu's face was hard to read as she didn't know what to say.

After a few seconds, Xu Manman screamed and angrily ran over.

"What ten thousand There's only ten dollars inside, you're scamming her into marriage! It's a good thing Aunt An didn't agree to you."

"I, I don't know." Mrs. Gu started to play dumb.

"Auntie, you don't even know if the house sold for 100,000 or 10 yuan I better call the police for you just in case someone scammed you."

Shen Yian pretended to be nervous and took out his phone.

Mrs. Gu was frightened, she snatched the bank card from Shen Yian's hand and retreated two steps, revealing a shrewd and calculating expression.

"Shen Yian! I'm giving you face by coming to find you! You really think you're an onion"

"Look closely at this woman's face, when her own mother is seriously ill, she wants to swindle our family's money. If we don't give her any, she threatens to break off the engagement! My poor son, he's completely devoted to her, thinking about her all the time and wanting to be with her."

Colleagues all knew that Shen Yian's mother was sick. Hearing what Gu's mother said, their gaze towards Shen Yian changed.

Wang Ruqi stepped forward, adding fuel to the fire: "Yi'an, marriage symbolizes love, not a bargaining chip for money. Your mother being ill is pitiful, but paying for her treatment is not an obligation. How can you break off the engagement because of this How can you be so disrespectful to Gu Cheng's three years of dedication"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing someone speak up for her, Gu Mu raised her chin as if to say, "What are you going to do about it"

Shen Yian endured the stares of everyone. She hadn't done anything, yet at this moment she was judged guilty by people who had nothing to do with it.

She will absolutely not compromise on moral kidnapping!

Shen Yi'an clenched his fist and walked up to Mother Gu's face.

"Auntie, my mother is indeed seriously ill, and I did borrow money from Gu Cheng. But your son said he had no money, but then he bought a car worth thirty or forty thousand yuan. I have chat records of all this. Do you want me to show them to everyone"

"And Gu Cheng did indeed propose to me, and I agreed. But as soon as you heard that my mother was seriously ill, you all shut up about the marriage. Without a contract or a date, how can I be considered breaking off the engagement"

"By the way, your son also said that after my mom dies, he'll sell the house my mom left me and buy a big one for you to enjoy your retirement. What do you think I should do - break up with him"

Everyone was stunned and immediately looked at Mrs. Gu with disgust.

Even her mother, forgetting all about decorum, started to play the victim.

"Once you marry into my family, you're one of us. What's yours is ours, isn't it You're being too picky."

Xu Manman stood up for Shen Yian and said to her aunt, "Aunt, Sister Yian's mother is still alive. You calling this eating all their possessions and cursing them to death is too much."

Knowing she was in the wrong, but still arrogant, Gu's mother pointed at Shen Yian and cursed him loudly.

"Shen Yian! Don't give me that nonsense! You wasted my son's three years, taking his time, using his resources, and now you just want to break up No way! This marriage has to happen!"

Seeing that her soft approach wasn't working, Gu Mu decided to be tough. After all, she was just an old woman, who dared to touch her

Shen Yian was so angry that her fingers trembled. She had never seen someone so shameless and brazen.

But she knew very well that Gu Cheng and his mother weren't the type to let things go. If they kept making a fuss, her promotion and raise were definitely off the table.

Shen Yian said bluntly, "I'm married."

Mother Gu snorted. "Huh Are you trying to fool me again With your sick mother in tow, who else would want you besides my son"

"Here's the marriage certificate." Shen Yian took out the marriage certificate he had forgotten to put away from his bag, enunciating each word slowly. "Please, you and Gu Cheng, stop bothering my life."

"You, you...really got married" Mrs. Gu looked at the marriage certificate in astonishment.

"Making fake IDs is illegal." Shen Yian reminded.ded, but her eyes never left Song Lin.Before seeing the blurry photos in the group, I was already amazed. I didn't expect him to be even more handsome in person than in the pictures.Noble and elegant,...
