Marriage as a Game

Chapter 64 You are all wealthy, I don’t want to marry high
"Yes, I like it. It's very beautiful. I like all beautiful accessories in the world, but I'm not greedy." Her answer was impeccable.

"I think there is something a hundred times more precious than these. You have already given it to me, so it would be the most equal thing to exchange it for it!"

Shang Jianghan's voice was distant, and he moved closer as he spoke, his aura only a fist's distance away.

"Didn't you complain about me the last time I kissed you? I can use this to apologize to you, right?"

When Zhongli came out of the bedroom after the video call, Shang Jianghan had already returned to the next room.

Seeing Shen Chaoxi sitting on the sofa in a daze, she put her arm around her shoulders from behind.

"Honey, what's wrong? It's rare to see you in a daze! Hey! This is your gift, let me see what it is?"

The velvet box in Shen Chaoxi's hand was taken away, and before she could grab it back, it was opened with a snap.

"Wow! K's Yilian women's watch! It's the latest Christmas model, so beautiful, but I have too many watches, you will definitely look beautiful wearing it!"

Zhongli took the opportunity to let Shen Chaoxi try it on.

"Stop it, I can't accept something this valuable, I have to give it back!"

Shen Chaoxi put the watch away.

“No need!” Zhongli felt sorry. “Shang Jia has plenty of money. This little thing is just a drop in the bucket for Young Master Shang. You think it’s expensive, but he can just wave his hand and it’ll be a piece of cake!”

Zhongli has always been careless, but this time he seemed to be doing the opposite.

"Hey? This watch has a complicated meaning! Tell me the truth, is there anything going on between you two..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Chaoxi stood up and cleaned up the mess on the coffee table. "I find it a pity that you don't use your little thoughts on studying. How about this, do two sets of test questions tonight."

Shen Chaoxi stretched out two fingers.

Zhongli immediately became deflated.

"Oh my! Why are you all like this? My brother is one, and you are one too! We had planned to go out for a few days on New Year's Day, but my uncle and his new wife invited us to dinner, and my brother insisted that I go home. My vacation is ruined!"

Shen Chaoxi packed up his things, listened to her complaining, and took out two sets of papers from his backpack.

"What's there to do in the snow? You have to take the college entrance exam next year. Have you forgotten how you promised to work the day shift?"

Zhongli was hit hard and gritted his teeth at Shen Chaoxi.

"I was wrong just now. You are not suitable for the Third Young Master Shang. Instead, you are suitable for my brother who is from the same mother as me. I will introduce him to you some other day! In fact, being my sister-in-law is pretty good!"

Shen Chaoxi was stunned at first, and then she laughed out of anger. She really admired the matchmaking skills of the man in front of her.

"Come on, you are all wealthy, I won't marry up!"

**
The New Year's Day holiday is here in a blink of an eye.

During the three-day holiday, Shen Chaoxi returned to the Yao family on the evening of the 31st.

My grandmother has been discharged from the hospital for some time. Our home has prepared oxygen tubes and emergency medicines. During this period, my grandmother has been in a good mood and seems to have gained weight.

In the evening, Shen Chaoxi and Yao Dimai both returned home, and Yao Chun also came back from the Zhong family.

A week ago, Yao Chun and Zhong Hongguang got their marriage certificate. She now has her own family and career. Although she comes back often, it is not always convenient.

It's rare for the whole family to get together.

The dinner was exceptionally sumptuous.

After dinner, grandma sat on the sofa and received oxygen for an hour as usual.

The whole family sat around her.

Yao Chun added hot water to everyone's teacup, sat down, and talked about his meeting with the Zhong family.

"After getting married, it's natural for us to sit together and eat a meal." My grandmother uses nasal oxygen, which does not affect her speech.

Yao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried, looking at Yao Chun and said, "It's not that we're embarrassed because our family conditions are not as good as others, it's mainly because of Mom's health.

It’s been so cold these days that we dare not even open the windows at home, and mom has oxygen ready at all times. The doctor said that if we can get through the winter and the weather gets better in the spring next year, mom’s illness will be mostly cured. Why not wait until then…” Grandma waved her hand and said weakly, “How can we ask them to accommodate us?” She glanced at Shen Chaoxi and said, “Although Xixi will live in our house in the future, we are a family after all. It’s better to go over and get to know her sooner rather than later.”

The old lady naturally knew that the other party's family was well-off, and she thought that if nothing else, they would not stand idly by while Shen Chaoxi went to school and worked in the future.

Old people always think deeply about things.

Shen Chaoxi lowered her eyes and drank tea. She actually didn't want to go, but she had no choice.

"Have you set a time? I can take some medicine and hold on for a while, but why are you so delicate that you can't even leave the house?"

Since the old lady has spoken, it is difficult for others to say anything.

Yao Chun held his mother's dry hand, his eyes moistened.

"On the evening of the 1st, at the Jingjue Hotel, I'll pick you up then."

Afterwards, the old lady asked about the other party’s family members so that she could prepare some gifts during the day the next day.

"We will give gifts that are tailored to the type of family we are. We can't pretend to be nice, and we don't want you to prepare in advance..."

Shen Chaoxi didn't listen to what was discussed later. She went to her room to do her physics and chemistry papers.

About an hour later, Zhong Hongguang came to pick up Yao Chun and Shen Chaoxi was called out by Zheng Juanjuan.

Zhong Hongguang came into the house wearing a black coat and holding several boxes of gifts, which looked very high-end.

Seeing Shen Chaoxi coming out, he took the initiative to call her name.

Shen Chaoxi was not very warm to his stepfather. They had eaten together a few times but they did not develop any feelings for each other. He just did not hate him.

"Good evening, Uncle Zhong!" Shen Chaoxi called out.

After a few more pleasantries, seeing that his grandmother looked tired, Zhong Hongguang stood up and prepared to leave.

"My place is bigger and has all the facilities. In a few days, I'll let Chunchun take you over to live for a while, and Xixi will come over too." Zhong Hongguang said humbly.

"Live your life well and don't worry about me all the time. I'll come over to see you when I feel better."

The old lady has always had a stubborn temper. Yao Chun shook her head gently at Zhong Hongguang.

Shen Chaoxi escorted the person out.

Yao Chun hadn't seen her daughter for more than half a month and was reluctant to let go of her hand.

"After dinner tomorrow, stay with mom for two days. I'll send you back to school when school starts, okay? Mom misses Xixi!"

When Shen Chaoxi saw Zhong Hongguang making a phone call not far away, she looked away and shook her head slightly.

"Maybe later. I have an appointment with my classmates to go out and play for two days."

Yao Chun was not without disappointment, but he did not dare to force it.

"Okay, spend more time with your classmates. If you have enough money, tell mom. Business in the store is good recently, and mom has money."

Seeing Shen Chaoxi shook her head, she continued, "I know you don't want to spend your uncle Zhong's money, and mom didn't marry him because of his money. I am financially independent. I have to establish the image of a good mother for Xixi, right?"

Zhong Hongguang finished his call and walked over.

"What are you talking about? Mother and daughter always have endless secrets to talk about when they meet! Xixi, come over these few days. I have to go out for a while, and your mother is bored at home alone."

Hearing this, Yao Chun looked up at him and said, "You didn't say you were going out?"

A little girl's resentment.

Zhong Hongguang put his hand on her shoulder.

"I just received a call. There's an opening ceremony in the south. I'll be back the next day."
