The bearded man who had shown up earlier was finally paid five thousand yuan and sent on his way.
Of course, with the Shen Family's power, the man wouldn't dare cause trouble again.
But the Shen Family had well and truly lost face.
Shen Xiaoya whispered to her husband, "So, do you think they're actually married, or not?"
Her husband, who was usually a bit of a slacker, saw how tense the atmosphere was and whispered, "Come on, let's go play cards. We shouldn't stay here. I bet they're going to start fighting soon."
Shen Xiaoya wanted to stay for the drama, but she couldn't talk her husband out of it. She left their daughter with her mother and went with him.
Old Mrs. Shen, holding her granddaughter, looked from one person to another before her gaze finally landed on Lin Nian.
"Were you really with that man before?"
Her eyes red and welling with tears, Lin Nian said pitifully, "I was forced! My family sold me. They took a thousand yuan from that man, so I ran away!"
