Chapter 3 The son-in-law meets his father-in-law
At the entrance of Fu'an Hotel, Du Miaowei, a beautiful secretary dressed in a business suit with a graceful figure and charming appearance, rushed up to Shen Qingrou with great anxiety upon seeing her: "My dear aunt, are you trying to drive me crazy with worry?"
He's not answering the phone or replying to messages?
What time is it? Why are you only arriving now?
With an icy demeanor, Shen Qingrou replied calmly, "I'm driving, so it's inconvenient for me to answer the phone."
Du Miaowei urgently reminded, "The chairman and President Chen are already getting impatient in the VIP room."
"I didn't make them wait." Shen Qingrou said dismissively, pushing Ye Cheng forward.
Only then did Du Miaowei's gaze fall on Ye Cheng. Upon seeing his face clearly, her pupils constricted: "Qingrou, he..."
Shen Qingrou gave Du Miaowei a stern look, which startled Du Miaowei into quickly shutting her mouth.
Ye Cheng noticed the surprise in Du Miaowei's eyes and couldn't hide his doubt: "You know me?"
Du Miaowei hurriedly denied it: "No, no, no... I don't know you."
Knowing that Du Miaowei was under pressure from Shen Qingrou and dared not reveal the truth, Ye Cheng stopped asking.
At this moment, Du Miaowei gently pulled Shen Qingrou aside and said with some concern, "Even if he looks... he's still a disabled person, can this work?"
They'll definitely find out.
A slightly manic smile appeared in Shen Qingrou's eyes: "I've already got my marriage certificate, who dares to say it's fake!"
Du Miaowei stared at Shen Qingrou in disbelief: "My dear aunt, have you considered the consequences of doing this?"
He's just an ordinary person, how could he withstand the chairman's wrath!
The madness in Shen Qingrou's eyes became more and more obvious: "If Old Man Shen doesn't agree, I'll drag my husband down with me and commit suicide."
Ye Cheng, who had been eavesdropping, paused for a moment, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
That's way too extreme!
He guessed Shen Qingrou's purpose from their conversation and couldn't help but sigh.
Life is unpredictable!
Just a few days ago, I was thinking about how to get close to Shen Qingrou without leaving a trace and win her favor.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity came so suddenly that it caught him off guard.
Entering the game prematurely before fully recovering could be life-threatening.
But if we back down now, it will be much more difficult to get close to Shen Qingrou in the future.
Ye Cheng had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
Du Miaowei continued to earnestly persuade him, "I'm afraid he's not up to the task and will get stage fright. What if he tries to clarify your relationship in front of the chairman? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
Shen Qingrou's lips curled into a cruel smile: "If he dares to deny that I'm his wife, I'll castrate him in public!"
Ye Cheng felt a chill in his crotch, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Upon hearing Shen Qingrou's outrageous words, Du Miaowei looked at her with heartache: "I thought you had moved on from that relationship."
I never thought I could forget that senior.
Although they look very similar, the person you're looking for isn't your senior.
He can't replace that senior student.
Facing this face every day will only make you more miserable.
Shen Qingrou looked at Du Miaowei with a smile: "That's not necessarily true."
After saying that, she walked to Ye Cheng's wheelchair with a charming smile, leaned down, and whispered gently in Ye Cheng's ear, "Honey, be good when you go inside, and don't say anything out of line."
If you upset me, you'll be in trouble.
Does this count as a threat?
Ye Cheng felt like he was on a pirate ship, but he was powerless to resist, so he could only put on a docile and sensible appearance: "As long as you are happy."
Shen Qingrou pinched Ye Cheng's high nose: "You're smart to know what's good for you."
She cheerfully pushed Ye Cheng into the luxury hotel.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Miaowei finally gave up trying to dissuade her and chose to follow.
However, a hint of pity was revealed in his eyes when he looked at Ye Cheng.
In the elegantly decorated VIP room, Shen Qianfeng, chairman of the Shen Group, was having an in-depth conversation with Chen Zhaoyi, the young head of the Chen Group, in a harmonious atmosphere.
Just as they were chatting happily, Shen Qingrou suddenly walked in with Ye Cheng, breaking the harmony.
Shen Qianfeng looked clearly confused when he saw the stranger his daughter had brought: "Rou'er, who is this?"
Shen Qingrou said without any hesitation, "Old man Shen, you've been urging me to get married all this time, so I've brought my boyfriend here for you to meet today."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Ye Cheng smiled gently and bowed politely to Shen Qianfeng, saying, "Greetings, Father-in-law."
Shen Qianfeng suddenly stood up from his chair: "Don't call me that, I don't know you!"
Chen Zhaoyi's expression darkened for a moment, then he asked Ye Cheng with a calm yet curious tone, "To be the boyfriend of the prestigious Shen family's mistress, this gentleman must have some extraordinary qualities. May I ask where he works?"
Just as Shen Qingrou was about to speak, Ye Cheng asked with a smile, "I wonder if being a kept man counts as a profession?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhaoyi's pupils turned cold, and he cursed inwardly, "You son of a bitch, how can you be so self-righteous about living off a woman?"
Shen Qingrou was satisfied with Ye Cheng's courage and praised him with admiration, "Honey, you're amazing!"
Shen Qianfeng slammed his right hand on the table in anger, the loud bang silencing his entourage: "This is utter nonsense! Where did they find these actors?"
Shen Qingrou seized the opportunity to show her marriage certificate with Ye Cheng: "Ye Cheng is not an actor, we are truly in love."
Shen Qianfeng scoffed: "Oh, when did my daughter become so loving? She actually fell in love with a disabled person."
Do you think I'm stupid?!
Ye Cheng hurriedly said, "You misunderstand, my leg is fine, and I will be able to move freely again soon."
Shen Qianfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his daughter might do something foolish in a moment of despair.
Chen Zhaoyi seized the opportunity to undermine him: "President Shen and I are also in the same circle."
But I've never heard her mention you. How did you two meet?
Shen Qingrou raised an eyebrow: "President Chen, are we that familiar?"
How could I possibly tell you my private matters?
Ye Cheng felt that this matter needed a reasonable explanation.
A cheerful smile spread across his face, as if meeting Shen Qingrou was the most proud thing in his life: "We met online, and after communicating for a while, we found that we shared the same interests, so we decided to get together."
Today happened to be an auspicious day, so we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate and officially became husband and wife.
Shen Qianfeng suppressed his anger and gestured for Shen Qingrou to bring over the marriage certificate.
After examining it carefully and confirming that the stamp was not fake, he was filled with rage and raised his voice eight octaves: "Shen Qingrou, what exactly do you want to do!"
Chen Zhaoyi turned to Shen Qianfeng and said with a double meaning, "Chairman Shen, it seems I've come at the wrong time today. Perhaps we should schedule another time to discuss cooperation."
Today's business banquet, ostensibly about discussing business cooperation, actually concealed Chen Zhaoyi's desire for a marriage alliance.
Shen Qianfeng understood this, of course. Moreover, the Chen Group was stronger than the Shen Group, so Shen Qianfeng couldn't refuse and could only let things take their course.
However, Shen Qingrou's actions were like throwing a large rock into a calm lake, causing ripples in the situation.
Despite the turmoil in his heart, Shen Qianfeng tried his best to maintain his composure and personally escorted Chen Zhaoyi to the door.
Chen Zhaoyi left the Fu'an Hotel under the escort of bodyguards. As soon as he got into the car, he ordered with a gloomy expression: "Investigate the true identity of the cripple that Shen Qingrou brought today."
If necessary, make him disappear forever!
The bodyguards respectfully agreed.
Shen Qianfeng returned to the VIP room, slammed the marriage certificate heavily on the table, and stared at Shen Qingrou and Ye Cheng with eyes as sharp as knives: "Girl, you're taking marriage way too lightly!"
