I'm a Transmigrated Woman Who Is the CEO's Arranged Bride

……

The older women at the scene didn't like Xia Xiao.

I'm either worried that my husband is having an affair, or I'm worried that my son likes this kind of thing.

In comparison, it was much easier for Madam Duan to bring Shen Yue into their social circle.

Firstly, there's Madam Duan's influence; Wanheng Group is incredibly powerful, and its products are used in most parts of the economy. Also, Madam Duan's two sons are still single.

Secondly, Shen Yue has a very upright temperament. It's hard for her physical cultivation to be anything but upright. She relies on hard work and solid skills, using sheer force to overcome any technique. She doesn't have any empty talk, so her overall temperament is very upright.

Shen Yue was among the ladies, but Xia Xiao raised his hand in a provocative gesture.

Although it was directed at Shen Yue.

But the ladies weren't very happy either.

Put yourself in her shoes. Imagine how frustrating it would be if the mistress, after successfully taking your place, still had to act all high and mighty in front of you.

Ouyang Si is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, arrogant and conceited.

Families with only daughters should be even more cautious; if they end up choosing a son-in-law like Ouyang Si, that would be truly tragic.

No matter how Ouyang Si and Xia Xiao try to clear their names, the child's past cannot be erased.

She even felt that Dafeng's bankruptcy wasn't entirely a bad thing. Ouyang Si dissolved the engagement in advance, otherwise, she would have felt even more frustrated after discovering that her husband already had a son in school.

The ladies felt great sympathy for Shen Yue.

This unlucky kid is really unfortunate; he had bad luck and met the wrong person.

I heard that she held a press conference and openly stated that she would repay the money, which earned her the nickname "Shen Seven Hundred Million".

She's too honest. Her parents aren't around, so she can keep dragging it out.

People are willing to associate with such "foolish" people because they feel at ease dealing with them.

Then, some sharp-eyed people noticed the necklace around Shen Yue's neck and the glass-type jade bracelet on her wrist. (Duan Zhiheng didn't give them away in public, but Duan's mother watched with delight as Shen Yue readily put them on, because Shen Yue felt there was nowhere safer than on her own body.)

The Duan family was the most extravagant spender today, throwing over 100 million yuan to bid for the last mysterious jewel.

I never expected that it was actually a gift for Shen Yue?

That minor celebrity over there was wearing a ring worth over 7000 million yuan, showing it off to everyone.

Here, Miss Shen wears a necklace worth hundreds of millions, keeping a low profile and remaining silent. (Actually, it's not exactly low-key; the necklace is huge, and everyone will see it sooner or later.)

Her off-the-shoulder top matched the sapphire necklace worth hundreds of millions perfectly, as if it were a natural piece of jewelry she wore herself.

It didn't seem like something new; it looked as if it had always belonged to her.

It didn't seem out of place at all, so the ladies didn't initially notice anything amiss.

The sharp-eyed lady then pointed it out.

Mother Duan said demurely, "I'm not afraid to tell you this, but when I received the news of the Shen family's misfortune, I even thought of taking advantage of the situation and offering a dowry of 1 billion to find a wife for my good-for-nothing son. Unfortunately, Yueyue didn't like my son. I really liked her, but my son was not up to the task, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Even if we can't be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I still want a daughter like her. Yueyue has a noble character and deserves the best."

Madam Duan's words left the group speechless and in uproar.

A dowry of one billion! !! They refused it all.

Shen Yue's presence here was initially a bit awkward.

After all, she was the former fiancée of Ouyang Si, the tech tycoon and president.

Ouyang Si also slapped his ex-fiancée in the face by giving his current girlfriend a pink diamond ring worth 7900 million yuan in front of her.

The heartless ingrate insisted that he had met his true love.

They never heard of Ouyang Si giving them any gifts while they were together.

This kind of plot, where the ex-fiancée is pampering his new lover in front of him, is disgusting.

They were all a little embarrassed for Shen Yue.

Unexpectedly, while Ouyang Si was so eager to break off the engagement, the Duan family was willing to spend 1 billion yuan on a dowry to propose marriage.

Madam Duan praised Shen Yue with the phrase "noble character," which truly shows her approval.

This also naturally shows that some people are blind to talent.

A group of ladies gasped in amazement.

Ms. Rong, the organizer of the Zhanhai Charity Auction, held Shen Yue's hand and praised her beauty, saying that the bracelet suited her even better.

The group of ladies became even more enthusiastic.

Shen Yue could sense the difference before and after.

The ladies had only shown some sympathy and not rejection towards her before, but after Duan's mother said those words, they became warm and friendly towards her.

In any world, strength reigns supreme; even borrowing the strength of a powerful figure is a form of strength.

Shen Yue chatted casually with the other ladies, listened to gossip, and ate snacks, feeling very relaxed.

Ouyang Si brought Xia Xiao along because she wanted Xia Xiao to interact with the other ladies. After all, social interaction among ladies is very useful, as they can often learn information that is unknown to outsiders.

Xia Xiao, however, remained close to Ouyang Si, always clinging to him like a little bird.

Ouyang Si could only socialize with her.

Turning around casually, I saw Shen Yue chatting with Ms. Rong. It seemed that Ms. Rong had said something that made Shen Yue laugh. Shen Yue laughed freely and without any restraint. Her beautiful shoulders trembled slightly as she laughed, and the deep blue sapphire on her chest shone with a mysterious light.

How did this final, mysterious item end up with Shen Yue?

Ouyang Si had made an offer, so he naturally remembered it.

He was lost in thought, and Xia Xiao took his arm as they walked. Their wine glasses accidentally bumped against the back of a waiter, causing them to tremble and spill wine onto Xia Xiao's glamorous Dior haute couture dress.
