My stepmother forced me to donate bone marrow, so I retaliated by slapping my scumbag father in the

Sun Mei felt even more comfortable after hearing this.

After enduring so much mistreatment, she finally regained some of the feeling she once had as the mistress of the Shen family.

The two stood on the high ground, looking down at the vast mining area, as if they could already see the endless stream of sand and gravel turning into cash and flowing into their accounts.

After a moment, Sun Mei's smile faded slightly: "I wish Cong'er could see this too."

Upon hearing this name, Shen Jianjun's face instantly darkened: "Why bring him up out of the blue?"

Sun Mei's lips moved slightly: "He is, after all, our son."

"I'm still in the hospital, with investigators watching me. I don't know how things are going."

Shen Jianjun said coldly, "He ruined Jianjun Group like this. I haven't severed ties with him. That's already more than enough."

"This sand mining project is a matter of life and death for my whole family; we can't afford any more mistakes."

"Let's talk about it once the group has recovered."

Sun Mei felt bad, but she didn't argue anymore.

She also knew that Shen Cong had committed a serious offense.

Even if they have money now, it's impossible for them to easily rescue the person.

Shen Jianjun looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "Let him bear his own troubles."

"I will not cause any more trouble for Jianjun Group because of him."

Sun Mei fell silent.

A moment later, she looked at the mine in front of her again.

As long as the sand mining project succeeds, the Shen family will still have a future.

On the other side, the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau.

Inside the registration window, the staff handed out two brand-new marriage certificates.

Congratulations to you both.

Shen Ze reached out and took it, then opened one of the books.

On the inside page of the red certificate, the two people's photos are printed side by side, with a clear steel stamp underneath.

Only at this moment did he truly feel the reality.

From this day forward, Yu Binglan is no longer just his girlfriend, but his wife.

Yu Binglan also looked down at the marriage certificate, her slender fingers gently stroking the edge of the photo, her face filled with undisguised sweetness.

"Mrs. Shen".

Shen Ze suddenly called out.

Yu Binglan looked up: "What?"

"It's nothing."

Shen Ze smiled and said, "I just wanted to get used to it in advance."

"Then should I call you Mr. Shen too?"

"Can."

"Mr. Shen, we should go now."

The two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau hand in hand, where there were many other couples waiting to register.

Upon seeing the marriage certificate in their hands, the young people immediately understood that the exceptionally good-looking couple had already registered their marriage.

The black, custom-made Rolls-Royce stood out conspicuously by the roadside.

The driver saw the two people come out and immediately got out of the car and opened the door.

A young man who had just arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau looked on with envy: "A Rolls-Royce Phantom, a custom-made one at that."

"This guy is amazing. Not only does he drive a car like that, but his wife is also incredibly beautiful."

The girl next to Yu Binglan also stared at her: "It's not just her looks, look at her demeanor, you can tell at a glance she's a rich young lady from a very good family."

Another couple couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"The guy is handsome too."

"Top-tier luxury cars, stunning looks, and married to a goddess like her—this is the epitome of a life winner!"

Shen Ze ignored the stares around him and shielded Yu Binglan from the top of the car door.

"Dad wants us to be alone today. Where would you like to go next?"

Yu Binglan got into the car: "Anything is fine."

Shen Ze got into the car and said, "Let's go for a stroll on Nanjing Road."

"it is good."

The Rolls-Royce drove into traffic and quickly stopped near Nanjing Road.

The two walked slowly along the street. When they passed the Bulgari store, Yu Binglan glanced into the window.

Shen Ze noticed her gaze: "Let's go in and take a look."

"I just glanced at it."

"Since we're already here..."

Shen Ze led her into the store.

A young salesperson immediately approached: "Good afternoon, gentlemen. Are you looking for jewelry or watches?"

After she finished speaking, she saw Shen Ze's face clearly and her expression suddenly froze: "Shen Ze?"

Shen Ze recognized her too: "You're Lin Xiao?"

"It really is you!"

Lin Xiao's face lit up with surprise: "Old squad leader, I haven't seen you since graduating from university. I never expected to run into you here."

She looked Shen Ze up and down. In college, although Shen Ze was outstanding in ability, he had always been very low-key.

When I saw him again today, both his clothes and his demeanor were completely different from back then.

Thinking of the Rolls-Royce outside the door, Lin Xiao was even more amazed.

The class monitor from back then has really made something of himself now.

"Who is this?"

Lin Xiao looked at Yu Binglan, and her breath caught in her throat as soon as she saw her face clearly.

She worked in a luxury goods store and had seen many celebrities and heiresses, but she rarely saw a woman with such outstanding looks, figure and temperament.

"My wife, Yu Binglan."

Shen Ze answered naturally.

Lin Xiao paused for two seconds, then quickly asked, "You're married?"

"We just got our marriage certificate today."

"Congratulations!"

Lin Xiao smiled sincerely and said, "Old squad leader, your wife is so beautiful."

"Of all the customers I've seen in the store, she's definitely one of the most beautiful."

The two salespeople next to her couldn't help but glance at Yu Binglan a few more times.

One of them lowered his voice and said, "She has such a great presence. The jewelry looks even more expensive on her."

Lin Xiao led the two to the VIP display area and took out the latest catalog: "These are all new products for this season."

"The basic models start at around 50,000 yuan, while the diamond-encrusted and limited edition models will be more expensive."

Yu Binglan flipped through a couple of pages: "No need to buy anything too expensive, just browse around."

Shen Ze did not answer, his gaze falling on a necklace in the middle of the list.

The design features a floral cluster, a platinum chain, and layers of smaller diamonds surrounding the main diamond.

The design wasn't extravagant, but it suited Yu Binglan perfectly.

He glanced at the price tag: one million.

"Let's take a look at this one."

Lin Xiao looked in the direction he pointed, and paused subconsciously.

"Old squad leader, this is a limited edition floral platinum and diamond necklace, priced at one million."

"I know."

Shen Ze nodded: "Take it out and try it on."

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. She quickly put on gloves and took the necklace out of the safe display case.

The two salespeople next to them were also drawn over.

Many customers would only glance at the limited-edition necklace, worth millions, after hearing the price.

Shen Ze didn't even frown: "I'll help you put it on."

Shen Ze took the necklace and walked behind Yu Binglan.

Yu Binglan swept her long hair to one side, revealing her fair and slender neck.

Shen Ze bent down slightly and fastened her necklace.

A cluster of diamonds sits between delicate collarbones, and under the light, the tiny diamonds refract a delicate brilliance.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up: "It's perfect!"

Another salesperson couldn't help but exclaim, "Many customers have tried this necklace, but Ms. Yu looks the best in it."

"She has fair skin and beautiful collarbones; the necklace seems to have been designed just for her."

Yu Binglan looked in the mirror and clearly liked it too.

But she still said softly, "One million is a bit expensive."
