Chapter 3219 Shen Tianyu 619

Jing Hong had already noticed that someone was eavesdropping outside.

That person had the aura of Gu poison.

The combination of the Gu aura and that signature voice is 100% Qing Hui.

Qing Hui is Shen Tianyu's senior brother and also his uncle. Although he is a bit of a simpleton, he is not a bad person.

Jing Hong ignored him and had no intention of letting him into the house.

He's incredibly shrewd; he knows exactly who he can get close to and who he absolutely mustn't.

Sensing that Qing Hui had gone far away, Jing Hong said to Bai Chenxue, "I heard that Qing Hui tried to take advantage of Gu Jinzhou's kindness, but it ended in failure. I must learn from his experience and make sure to help Jing Bai succeed."

Bai Chenxue sighed softly, "You are good in every way, except that you are too stubborn."

Jing Hong put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace, his high nose gently brushing against her delicate cheek. "I was able to marry you because of my persistence. I persistently helped Jing Bai plan for the future, so why are you no longer happy with me?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I'm afraid of bothering Young Master Shen."

Jing Hong pinched her cheek. "You're just too timid and shy. If you had even half the thickness of my skin, you would have..."

He didn't say anything more.

If Bai Chenxue had even half the shamelessness of him, she would have married Gu Chufan long ago.

What business is it of his anymore?

Therefore, there is some truth to the saying that character determines destiny.

After leaving Jing Hong's house, Qing Hui went to Shen Tianyu to complain.

If he can't do it, no one else can either.

He glared at Master Mao Jun, his tone hard and unyielding, and said to Shen Tianyu, "That old Taoist priest is a spy!"

Even if Qing Hui didn't say it, Shen Tianyu knew.

However, he needs to rely on Master Mao Jun. Now, various favors and interests are intertwined, and it is no longer a simple matter of right and wrong.

Shen Tianyu said, "Senior Brother, you mustn't be rude. Master Mao is a man of great righteousness and is respected by all."

Qing Hui snorted coldly, "You've changed!"

He turned and left!

Master Mao smiled sheepishly and leaned closer. “My beloved disciple, I truly want to take you as my disciple and teach you magic. I mean it. Your talent surpasses Jing Hong's, and you are calmer, more focused, and have better concentration than him. I will only do what is best for you, not what is bad for you, and I am certainly not a spy.”

Shen Tianyu said, "Master, don't overthink it. My senior brother spoke rashly, but it was unintentional."

He finally understood why Yuan Jinzhi had such high emotional intelligence.

Caught between so many people, I can't offend this one, and I can't offend that one.

If this continues, it would be strange if things didn't turn out well.

He somewhat missed the days when he and his master, Dugu Cheng, cultivated in seclusion in the mountains. Back then, he was his true self, with sharp edges and unrestrained spirit. But tempering one's heart in the mortal world is also a form of cultivation.

Lunar New Year's Eve is fast approaching.

Su Xingyan said to Shen Tianyu, "For New Year's Eve dinner, you should take Jinzhi to the Yuan family's house. Azheng and Jingyu will be here with us. There are many people from the Gu family, but fewer from your father-in-law's side."

Shen Tianyu responded.

He picked up his car and drove Yuan Jinzhi to her parents' home.

Without prior notice, the two knocked on the door, and Shangguan Ya came to open it.

Upon seeing them, Shangguan Ya's face lit up with surprise. "Why didn't you go to Grandpa Gu's house for New Year's Eve dinner?"

Yuan Jinzhi laughed, "My mother-in-law told me to go back to my parents' home for dinner."

She handed the gift that Su Xingyan had prepared to Shangguan Ya, saying, "My mother-in-law asked me to give this to you."

Shangguan Ya took it and opened it; it was a very luxurious sapphire brooch.

She was taken aback and wondered how she should reciprocate.

Hearing Yuan Jinzhi say, "My mother-in-law said that you don't need to return the gift. It's too formal to keep going back and forth. My mother-in-law also said that you gave birth to such an excellent person like me, and being her daughter-in-law is the best gift."

Shangguan Ya is usually elegant and never shows her teeth when she smiles, but this time she smiled and showed all ten teeth.

She laughed and said, "You've only been here a short while, and all you can talk about is your mother-in-law. I'm even envious that you have such a wonderful mother-in-law."

Yuan Jinzhi raised her eyelids and glanced at Shen Tianyu, "A good mother-in-law can give birth to a good man. I pursued my own happiness."

Shen Tianyu said in a low voice, "He's being arrogant again."

If he has no interest in her, she couldn't catch up to him even if she rode on wheels of fire.

Yuan Jin made a face at him.

Shangguan Ya took her arm and led her to sit at the dining table.

Yuan Shenzhi and Yuan He went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Yuan Shenzhi placed the plate in front of Shen Tianyu and said, "Kid, when other sons-in-law come to visit, they all rush to help their brothers-in-law and fathers-in-law serve dishes and do chores. But you, you just sit at the table like a big shot."

Shen Tianyu glanced at him, his handsome face expressionless.

He was never that kind of person.

Yuan Jinzhi took a watch box out of her bag and handed it to him, saying, "My mother-in-law asked me to bring this to you."

Yuan Shenzhi took it and saw that it was the limited edition watch he wanted to buy, but because he was not a brand VIC, he was not qualified and could not buy it.

He shut his mouth.

All resentment vanished.

Yuan Jinzhi then took out a long, narrow box and handed it to Yuan He, saying, "Dad, this is what my father-in-law asked me to bring to you."

Yuan He took it, opened it, and inside was a belt.

The gifts that Su Xingyan and Shen Ke give are always expensive.

Yuan He was about to say, "I haven't retired yet. This belt is too expensive. It would be too ostentatious for me to use it."

Yuan Jinzhi said, "My father-in-law made it by hand; it's not a branded product. He used to restore cultural relics when he was young, and he's very skillful."

Won Hyuk was deeply moved.

This is more valuable than branded goods.

Shangguan Ya looked at Yuan Shenzhi and said, "Shenzhi, you should learn from your sister. If you like a girl, go after her. You'll be thirty after this year. I don't want to pressure you into marriage, but you're not exactly young anymore."

Yuan Shenzhi said, "I did pursue her, but unfortunately, I wasn't as lucky as Jinzhi."

Everyone fell silent.

He chased after Su Jingyu relentlessly, but he couldn't catch up.

Everyone ate their New Year's Eve dinner in silence.

Shen Tianyu felt that the Yuan family was different from his own.

They usually have their New Year's Eve dinner at Gu Aoting's house, where they set up more than a dozen tables, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Yuan He's family's New Year's Eve dinner was rather quiet and deserted.

It's fortunate that he brought Yuan Jinzhi along, otherwise there would have been only the three of them staring at each other.

He put on disposable gloves, peeled a shrimp, and fed it to Yuan Jinzhi.

Suddenly sensing something unusual outside, he looked towards the door and said, "Chi Ling is here."

Everyone was surprised.

What is she doing here during the Chinese New Year?

Yuan Shenzhi got up to open the door.

Chi Ling exuded a chilling aura, looking up at him with a glare. "You're my cousin?"

Yuan Shenzhi naturally dared not answer, and after a few vague words, he said, "No, who told you this nonsense?"

Chi Ling pushed him away and walked straight to Yuan Jinzhi, asking coldly, "Are you my cousin? So when I was pursuing Shen Tianyu, you were so tolerant of me, not angry, and even very kind to me?"

Yuan Jinzhi's heart pounded with fear, but she forced a calm expression. "Why do you say that?"

Chi Ling looked around, her voice filled with anger, "You all know, right? You've been making a fool of me! I was wondering why everyone was so nice to me for no reason? Turns out it's because I'm Shangguan Teng's daughter! I knew it! That old scumbag, he looked strange the first time he saw me, but then he was nice to me for no reason. Turns out it was because he felt indebted to me!"

Shen Tianyu looked at her coldly.

I thought she was going crazy.

They assumed she was furious and was making a scene, threatening to kill Shangguan Teng.

But Chi Ling once again turned her gaze to Yuan Jinzhi's lower abdomen.

Shen Tianyu suddenly stood up, blocking Yuan Jinzhi's way, and said, "Go crazy outside if you want to."

Chi Ling's anger subsided, and she only asked, "Is she carrying a boy or a girl?"

Shen Tianyu said coldly, "It's none of your business."

Chi Ling pursed her lips and said something that surprised everyone: "After the baby is born, will you call me 'Auntie'?"
