Chapter 20: What Does It Tear Apart?

Shen family.

Ye Dingtian and Ye Feng arrived early and placed the red box containing the betrothal gifts on the table.

They were then invited to the back room to rest.

This is the Shen family's home turf, and the Shen family is responsible for receiving guests.

Around noon.

The invited guests arrived one after another.

Shen Lang and Shen Luoyi's mother, Qin Yao, personally greeted them at the door.

"Brother Shen, congratulations!"

Congratulations, Brother Shen, on the acquisition of your wonderful son-in-law!

"..."

"Thank you all, please come inside!"

Shen Lang greeted the guests at the door with a smile on his face.

The Shen family is only a second-rate family in Zhonghai, and they associate with families of the same level.

He hadn't expected that several top-tier families would be among the guests; it seemed that Old Master Ye had indeed put in a lot of effort.

Although it wasn't as prestigious as when the Ye family was at its peak, with all the top families in Zhonghai attending, it was still quite a show of respect.

In the backyard, inside the house.

Shen Luoyi wore a red wedding dress and light makeup, which added a touch of beauty to her already stunning appearance.

However, her slightly clenched fists betrayed her nervousness.

Ye Feng, also dressed in a red wedding suit, sat leisurely on the sofa, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Shen Luoyi.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Luoyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Is it wrong to look at your own wife?"

Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Who's your wife?"

Shen Luoyi gave a coquettish snort and warned in a low voice, "We're only engaged, so you better behave yourself and don't get any improper ideas."

Ye Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile. Shen Luoyi still didn't know that this was a trick played by her grandfather.

By binding her with a marriage contract, over time, the fake engagement will naturally become real.

"What are you laughing at?"

Shen Luoyi's pretty face hardened.

She was already a little nervous, and when she saw Ye Feng's mischievous smile, she was at a loss for what to do.

Pretend to be capable to ease the awkwardness.

"Oh my god."

Ye Feng clicked his tongue: "Are you looking for trouble?"

Shen Luoyi gave a coquettish snort: "You're not allowed to look at me, and you're not allowed to laugh!"

She didn't know why, but she was incredibly nervous at the moment. She hadn't felt this way when she got engaged to Ye Feng's older brother.

In fact, he was not familiar with Ye Feng's brother, and the two had no feelings for each other.

It was only through the matchmaking efforts of Ye Feng's mother and Qin Yao, coupled with the Shen family's desire to curry favor with the Ye family, that the two became engaged.

To be honest, she was actually more familiar with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng's mother had a very good relationship with Qin Yao, and when Ye Feng was a child, she often brought him to meet with them.

"My eyes are on my own body; I can look wherever I want."

Ye Feng deliberately stared at her and laughed, "Besides, how would you know I'm looking at you if you're not looking at me?"

"you..."

Shen Luoyi bit her lip: "If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

"hehe!"

Ye Feng was amused and his gaze fell on her skirt.

"Your dress is nice, I wonder..."

"Don't know what?"

Shen Luoyi looked down at her skirt but didn't notice anything wrong.

"I wonder what it will look like if it's torn open?"

Ye Feng grinned wickedly.

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Luoyi was startled, her face filled with vigilance.

This guy committed an engagement rape before. Could it be that he's relapsed and wants to do it again?

"Fuck you!"

Ye Feng grinned wickedly, stood up, and approached her step by step, deliberately trying to scare her.

Shen Luoyi took it seriously, her expression changed, and she hugged her chest in fright.

"There are guests outside, don't mess around. If you ruin your clothes, how will you face people later?"

"What if we don't break it?"

Ye Feng walked up to her and looked her up and down.

"you..."

Shen Luoyi's heart pounded wildly, and she didn't know what to do.

"Young Miss, Young Master, the auspicious time is approaching. The head of the family wants you to go to the front hall when you are ready."

Just then.

The voice of a servant of the Shen family came from outside the door.

"understood."

Ye Feng responded, his expression hardening, and he stopped trying to scare Shen Luoyi.

Seeing this, Shen Luoyi breathed a sigh of relief and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Let's go."

Ye Feng reached out his hand, and Shen Luoyi hesitated for a moment before placing her small hand in his palm.

This is the custom of engagement; the newlyweds must appear hand in hand in front of the guests.

The front hall of the Shen family residence was filled with distinguished guests.

With the emcee's shout, "The auspicious time has arrived, the newlyweds may enter!"

The two people walked in hand in hand.

The man was handsome and elegant, with a calm demeanor and striking good looks!

The woman had a graceful figure, was elegant and dignified, and had a face that was stunningly beautiful!

"Shen Luoyi truly lives up to her reputation as a famous beauty in Zhonghai!"

"Yes, it's just a bit of a pity that she'll marry Ye Feng in the future."

"This guy is alright looking, but his character isn't great; he's even been to jail."

"..."

The people present were discussing it animatedly.

Some of these people genuinely offered their congratulations, while others came to see the spectacle.

Ye Dingtian sat in the head seat, outwardly calm but inwardly sighing.

If the Ye family were at its peak, who would dare to say such things?

Shen Lang's expression turned sour upon hearing these words, but since things had already come to this, he had no room for backtracking.

Fortunately, Ye Feng and Shen Luoyi soon arrived at the center of the hall.

The emcee began to arrange the changing of address ceremony, and the guests all kept quiet and watched them proceed.

Ye Feng stepped forward first and called Shen Lang and Qin Yao "Mom and Dad." They each gave Ye Feng a red envelope as a "change of address fee."

Ye Feng's parents were no longer alive, so Shen Luoyi could only call Ye Dingtian "Grandpa" and accept the red envelope.

Just as the ceremony of changing one's address was completed and the next ceremony was about to begin.

An elderly man with a full head of gray hair barged in with a group of people.

"Shen Lang, who gave you permission to form a marriage alliance with the Ye family? Are you trying to harm our Shen family?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads.

Some people looked surprised, while others wore gloating smiles.

"Second Uncle, what do you mean?"

Shen Lang frowned upon seeing the old man and asked with displeasure.

The visitor was his second uncle, Shen Jianguo, who had been at odds with his father since they were young.

Even now, the younger generations of both families are still fighting each other for control of the family business.

Shen Lang sent an invitation to Shen Jianguo, assuming that his family would only send a junior member as a token gesture.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jianguo actually came to the scene in person and said such a thing.

"What do I mean?"

Shen Jianguo's face was full of anger: "I'm here to warn you to pull back from the brink, lest you implicate the Shen family!"

"Second Uncle, aren't you being a bit too harsh? Luo Yi's engagement, how is that harming the Shen family?"

Shen Lang's face was grim.

"Fine, fine, you brainless idiot!"

Shen Jianguo, his mustache bristling, glanced at Ye Dingtian sitting there and said to Shen Lang, "Don't you know what the Ye family's situation is?"

"Their family has fallen to this state because they must have offended someone they shouldn't have."

"Even the Jiang family knows to break off the engagement, but you, on the contrary, are eager to get involved!"

"Aren't you satisfied with watching our Shen family be dragged down and destroyed along with us?"

Shen Lang was taken aback upon hearing this.

He hadn't thought about this issue before.

Upon hearing this, the guests present began to discuss it amongst themselves again.

Although everyone suspected that Ye Feng's father and brothers died under suspicious circumstances.

But this is the first time someone has publicly expressed such doubts.

"Um?"

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened.

He was just worried about not finding any clues, could this old guy possibly know something?!
