The two of them walked hand in hand back to the Shen Family.
As soon as they stepped through the doorway, Shen Yiran saw them and excitedly called out, "Dad, Mom, co quick, Sister's back!"
Shen Yiran ran towards Shen ngyi like a child, joyously shouting, "Sister, you've finally co back, you're finally safe, I was so worried about you!"
The sisters hugged each other, and Shen ngyi comforted her sister, "It's my fault, I won't do anything foolish ever again!"
Mu Wanqing and Shen Zhe rushed over afterward. Seeing Shen ngyi wearing Lin Tian's clothes, Mu Wanqing knew that her daughter must have been wronged. With tears streaming down her face, Mu Wanqing said, "My daughter, Mommy has let you suffer. It's Mommy's fault."
Shen ngyi helped Mu Wanqing dry her tears and forced a smile, saying, "Mom, don't cry, look, I'm all right, aren't I?"
"Yes, having our whole family together is the best outco," Mu Wanqing said with tears still in her eyes.
Seeing that Shen ngyi had safely returned, Shen Zhe was very happy, but as part of the arranged marriage pressure, he felt sowhat guilty. He watched from behind for a while before he mustered up the courage to say, "My daughter, Dad had no choice but to give in, can you forgive ? I will never force you again. Your marriage will be up to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen ngyi smiled happily, and her heart finally settled.
Shen ngyi wasn't afraid of difficulties or arranged marriage pressure; what she feared was being alone and unsupported, with no one standing by her side.
That morning, the Wang Family had co to pressure her into marriage, and her father had likewise pressured her. Her mother, unable to stand up to her father, remained silent at the side. Only her sister stood with her, though unfortunately, her words carried little weight.
Feeling that even her closest and most beloved parents were not supporting her made her feel abandoned by the whole world, which is why she chose to jump off a building.
But the events of the past few hours, though harrowing with her own near-death experience at the Ghost Gate, turned out well. She now had the support of her parents, the company of her family, and she felt she was no longer alone and unsupported. Moreover, she had Lin Tian.
Shen ngyi approached her father Shen Zhe and noticed that he had grown white hairs. She said with tears, "Dad, it hasn't been easy for you either, I know you've been doing it all for our family's sake. But rest assured, I will work hard, and even if I don't marry into the Wang Family, even without relying on the Wang Family's power, I can still make the Shen Family's business thrive!"
"Good, good, good, Dad believes in you," Shen Zhe said, his tears flowing freely.
After all, they were family. Once everything was out in the open, all problems were resolved. The person they all should be thanking was Lin Tian, so Shen Zhe made it a point to prepare a sumptuous al and brought out his many years' store of fine wine.
Mu Wanqing, the lady of the Shen Family, personally poured the wine for Lin Tian, saying as she did so, "This is a fine wine that your father has treasured for over twenty years. He said he would wait to bring it out for his daughter's wedding day. Today he's so happy, he couldn't resist bringing out this red wine."
The speaker may be unintentional, but the listener takes it to heart!
Like Shen ngyi, Shen Yiran, and Lin Tian.
Shen ngyi's face turned red as she thought, "What does Mom an by saying this? This bottle of red wine is to be brought out when I get married, could it be that Mom is hinting, hinting that Lin Tian should beco our Shen Family's son-in-law."
At this thought, Shen ngyi bashfully lowered her head, yet her heart was filled with joy.
To marry Lin Tian, she couldn't wish for anything more!
Shen Yiran thought to herself, "Mom's words obviously had a deeper implication, could it be that Mom wants Lin Tian to be my sister's boyfriend?"
At this thought, Shen Yiran felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart, she, too, liked Lin Tian, only it seed now that Mom preferred Lin Tian to be with her sister.
Moreover, Shen Yiran had seen everything that had just happened; her sister truly liked Lin Tian, and Lin Tian almost died for her sister. They had experienced life and death together, a bond that would make them unforgettable to each other for a lifeti.
When Lin Tian and Shen ngyi had co in just now, Shen Yiran had personally seen the two holding hands.
Originally, Shen Yiran had also wanted to fight for Lin Tian, but now it seed that her sister and Lin Tian were a better match.
"Forget it, I'll let my sister have Lin Tian, a good man, and wish them happiness!" Shen Yiran silently thought to herself, however, her heart was in turmoil; giving up the person she loved and silently blessing them was sothing an ordinary person would find hard to do.
Shen Yiran couldn't control herself and shed tears of heartache; she quickly excused herself and ran out, sobbing bitterly.
Lin Tian also detected an unusual aning in Mu Wanqing's words, and thought to himself, isn't this clearly suggesting that I beco the son-in-law of the Shen Family? But what should I do, what to do, what to do, I already have wives, both beautiful and endearing, and my main wife is still waiting for to save her!
In the end, Lin Tian made a difficult decision, regardless of what Mu Wanqing said or how Shen ngyi pursued him, he would pretend to be oblivious to everything; his main task now was to first wake his main wife, as for the rest, he would deal with it later!
The thoughts in the minds of these three people were rich in imagination, but honestly, they were all thinking too much; Mu Wanqing today was simply too happy, so much so that her speech had beco incoherent. The aning of her words just now was to express just how much the Shen Family appreciated Lin Tian, how incredibly happy they were today, and that they wanted Lin Tian to eat and drink well, nothing more, really!
The art of conversation is indeed a profound study; an inadvertent remark from Mu Wanqing sparked different thoughts in three people's minds. Shen ngyi was the happiest, enjoying her al the most, Lin Tian ate in a sowhat sloppy manner, sweating profusely, only Shen Yiran had the hardest ti, having cried a spell and eating her al with difficulty!
Although the al was a bit awkward for Lin Tian, he enjoyed the most honorable treatnt.
Shen Zhe offered toasts, Mu Wanqing poured wine, Shen ngyi served dishes, and Shen Yiran played the role of encouraging him to eat more; even high officials from Tianchuan City probably couldn't receive this level of treatnt.
After the al and so idle chatting, Shen Zhe suggested that Shen ngyi should go with Lin Tian to Wu'an City, in case the Wang Family ca back to trouble her if she stayed in Tianchuan City.
Everyone agreed, but Shen ngyi was worried about her father; she feared that if the Wang Family couldn't find her, they would make things difficult for her father.
After this incident, Shen Zhe ca to a realization, that nothing was more important than his own family. No longer caring about the family assets, not needing to rely on the Wang Family, with the foundation of the Shen Family, while they couldn't defeat the Wang Family, they had more than enough to protect themselves.
