After a simple and informal proposal, Yu Shu was pulled aside by several aunties and sisters-in-law to gossip and admire the huge diamond ring on her hand.
Yu Fanxing was so angry that she gnashed her silver teeth and whined in Shen Chaowen's arms, “Rebellious son! Rebellious son! Rebellious son!”
Shen Chaowen hurried to appease her: “I’ll buy you an even bigger and better sapphire!”
“Wah wah wah... That's our engagement ring.”
Shen Youlin shamelessly ran over to pour oil on the fire: “I took it because I knew it was your engagement ring!”
“You call that ‘taking’ it? You stole it!” Yu Fanxing was furious. “If you had told me you wanted to propose to Yu Bao, would I not have given it to you?”
“Tsk, speed is key in war, don’t you understand? There was no time to report,” Shen Youlin glibly said. “Anyway, you said that sooner or later Yu Shu would be mine.”
Hearing these words, Zhao Wenqian felt sour and sad in her heart. If Yu Shu belongs to Shen Youlin, what about me and Shen Yuxiao?
“Your engagement rings have such a nice meaning. Look, you two have been married for so many years but are still loving and affectionate. By using your ring, I can also benefit from your blessings.”
It was rare for him to say something so nice, so Shen Chaowen also smiled happily: “Naughty boy!”
Hearing his words, the discomfort in Yu Fanxing's heart also disappeared. She rubbed her fists, planning to match several blue outfits for Yu Shu to make the superb blue sapphire shine and dazzle everyone's eyes even more.
The happiest person tonight was Grandma. The day after Yu Shu gave her pine and crane longevity, Grandma’s long-untreatable ankle problems improved significantly and she could now walk without a cane. This further convinced Grandma that Yu Shu was blessed with luck and that Shen Youlin’s actions tonight deeply touched her heart.
In her delight, Grandma immediately gave red envelope money to her descendants. Thanks to them, the amount Grandma gave out this year was higher than previous years. Of course Yu Shu and Shen Youlin received the thickest red envelopes, 899,999 yuan each.
Grandma held their hands, “I have no other wish than for you two to be together forever.”
“Grandson obeys orders~” said Shen Youlin. Then he added, “And your grandson’s wife also obeys orders. She's too shy so I’m helping her to say it.”
Yu Shu was both annoyed and embarrassed. She angrily punched him while Shen Youlin hurriedly handed over his red envelope to beg for mercy, making everyone roar with laughter.
After a lively night, it wasn’t until Grandma felt sleepy that everyone dispersed back to their own villas. Zhao Wenqian stood at the door of the main building to see everyone off with the air of a hostess.
Shen Yuxiao’s family of four lived in the main building. This arrangement was Zhao Wenqian’s idea to highlight her status as the wife of the eldest grandson.
The woman really was stupid to the extreme, wearing all her thoughts and schemes on her face. Even so, it was still better than a smiling face hiding sinister intentions. Yu Shu thought to herself.
Back at the villa, Yu Shu calculated the red envelope money before going to bed, making notes on paper.
No need to mention Grandma, every penny counted towards one hundred million yuan. When she and Shen Youlin got married, Grandma would definitely insist on 899,999 yuan.
Just thinking about this suddenly made her less afraid of marriage.
Instead of a red envelope, Shen Chaowen gave her an apartment in a prime location in Beijing worth at least half a billion yuan. Yu Fanxing gifted her jewelry worth over 100 million yuan.
Her three uncles and two aunts gave two 60 million red envelopes, two 80 million red envelopes, and one 100 million red envelope, totaling 380 million yuan.
For married siblings, it was customary to give an auspicious red envelope worth 2 million yuan to unmarried younger siblings. With four married elder siblings, she received 8 million yuan. Shen Yuxiao also gave her an apartment, not as luxurious as Shen Chaowen’s but certainly worth over 100 million.
Gifts between siblings of the same generation were not included in her calculations. Wow, just from the red envelopes she had received almost 200 million yuan! And that didn’t even include property and jewelry!
Yu Shu covered her face. Winning the lottery was nothing compared to marrying Shen Youlin!
Truly rich beyond sanity! For the money alone, she would have to be with Shen Youlin for life.
And there was her own net worth to consider. Aside from investment companies, she had 200 million yuan in the bank. Although her wig and homemaker startups were still losing money, the two brands already had name recognition. Combined with stock valuations, her shares were worth over 100 million yuan. Then there was the New Year Rabbit movie. By the time it finished screening, the total box office was 1.8 billion yuan. She ended up with 280 million yuan profit, simply incredible!
There was also the money from selling the Buddhist beads. Originally Shen Youlin had given her money to buy them. She was going to return 200 million yuan to Shen Youlin after selling the beads, but he didn't accept it. That was another 500 million yuan. Plus there was money from demolishing and redeveloping the street she bought...
Her current net worth had long exceeded 1 billion yuan!
The speed of wealth growth really was too unbelievable, like a dream!
After showering, Shen Youlin saw her calculations and knew she was counting the red envelopes. He dutifully handed over his red envelope and Yu Shu accepted without hesitation.
Shen Youlin held her while negotiating: “I already gave my wife all my red envelope money. Shouldn't you show some appreciation? Wear a sailor uniform or nurse outfit for your husband?”
The maid outfit from last time ended up on Shen Youlin. He had obsessed over this until now.
“You reminded me, you still haven't given me sleep money!” Yu Shu pinched his chin threateningly. “Give me money, or you can compensate with your body.”
“I should give you sleep money?”
“Yes!” Yu Shu shamelessly nodded. “Did you sleep on me or not? Don't you owe me sleep money?”
Shen Youlin lowered his voice to ask, “Haven't you been pressing me lately?”
"So, you chose physical compensation?"
"I’m yours, so is my money. Whatever you say goes." Shen Youlin picked her up towards the bed. "I suggest you start collecting some interest from me first."
"There will be benefits for serving me well!"
"I obey~"
