122: Chapter 122 The Shen Family's Morning and Decision

The group was in a chaotic mess, and after making a ruckus for a while, Su Wantang lay on the right side and started scrolling through Little Red Book.

Jiang Jinyue lay on the left side, continuing her game.

Tang Luochuan sat in the middle, chatting with Shen Muyan.

Things over at the Shen Family were basically over; Shen Muqing's attitude was firm this time.

He had no choice but to be firm; the money was almost spent, there wasn't much left in his pockets, and if he kept struggling, he would have to resort to online loans.

It was just that Li Wenjing was still pestering them; this incident was like the sky collapsing for her.

It wasn't that she lacked "vision"; on the contrary, she was very good at picking people, specifically targeting someone like Shen Muqing who was easy to manipulate.

But who would have thought that a Tang Luochuan would appear?

...

[ "One hundred million" yuan has been deposited into your bank card. ]

That damn ringtone rang out; it was just a simple ringtone, but the timing matched exactly when his system deposited the funds.

At nine in the morning, Tang Luochuan got up and tidied up the few contraceptives on the room's carpet.

Only then did he say to the two sleeping girls, "When you wake up, eat breakfast yourselves; I'm going to pick up Shen Muyan."

Regardless of whether the two heard him or not, after getting dressed and washing up, Tang Luochuan left the hotel.

The car arrived at the Shen Family home, and Tang Luochuan stepped forward to knock on the door.

Liu Aiyuan opened the door, and the moment she saw Tang Luochuan, she was stunned.

The heavy dark circles under her eyes clearly indicated that she hadn't slept all night.

"Luochuan is here, come in quickly!" Liu Aiyuan had tossed and turned in bed all night, her heart a tangled mess.

She knew her son hadn't done anything wrong, but she truly couldn't set her mind at ease.

Relying on Tang Luochuan to help out didn't feel secure to her; after all, he was a son-in-law, not her own son.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry about yesterday." Tang Luochuan's first words were an apology.

This apology almost made Liu Aiyuan cry—not from being moved, but from a sense of grievance.

The difficulties and suppressed feelings that had piled up over these days left her caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

"It's fine, your uncle and I are both fine. Come in! Shen Muyan hasn't woken up yet. I'll go wake her."

"Okay."

"Mom, I'm up!" Shen Muyan had long been awake; she just didn't want to leave her room.

After the commotion last night and sending away Li Wenjing and her younger brother, no one in the family had been able to sleep soundly.

Shen Muyan had woken up early and was lying in bed; without Tang Luochuan by her side, thinking back on things filled her with fear.

Once her 'backer' arrived, she immediately revived to full health.

Wearing pajamas and barefoot, she walked out quickly. Just as Tang Luochuan stepped into the living room, the girl immediately jumped onto him, "Luochuan!!"

The girl wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs locked tightly around his waist, "I didn't sleep well last night. Can you come to my room later and coax me to sleep a bit more?"

Liu Aiyuan tactfully hurried to the bathroom, "Luochuan, you haven't had breakfast, right? I'll go prepare breakfast."

After saying this, she walked out of the bathroom blushing and turned to the kitchen.

"Uh, sorry for the trouble." Tang Luochuan smiled awkwardly and patted Shen Muyan, "Senior, why are you like this?"

"Senior" was a status from school, she had only enrolled one year earlier than Tang Luochuan.

In private, Shen Muyan wasn't as capable as Tang Luochuan; she could only be considered a little girl.

"Call me sister at school, and call me baby at home, okay?" Shen Muyan clung to him like a sloth, feeling the boy's body temperature, which made her feel much more relaxed.

"Crash~" The sound of a bowl breaking came from the kitchen again.

During this National Day holiday, quite a few had broken.

Tang Luochuan put Shen Muyan down, "Your mom is probably sick of hearing this, stop being so overly affectionate."

"Mmm~~~ hmph~~~" Shen Muyan whined; she wasn't like this before, but now she had an intense need for comfort.

"I'm getting up! I'm dressed now! Aiyuan, is breakfast ready? I'm coming out of the bedroom now!!"

In the master bedroom next door, Shen Qiang shouted at the top of his lungs; clearly, he had also noticed the lovey-dovey behavior of the two young lovers in the living room.

This was a reminder to the two of them, hoping that when he came out, he wouldn't see them hugging and kissing.

He couldn't stand seeing his daughter 'being snatched up,' and even if she was, he didn't want it to be in front of him.

Tang Luochuan knew Shen Qiang was reminding him, but when the bedroom door opened, Shen Muyan's lips were already pressed against Tang Luochuan's chin.

The boy tried hard to lean back.

The girl tried hard to reach forward.

Shen Qiang watched, gritting his teeth.

Shen Muyan closed her eyes and pursed her lips, "Mwah..."

Tang Luochuan kept his eyes open, looking at Shen Qiang innocently, signaling to him: Your daughter insists on this; it's not my fault.

"Ahem... ahem ahem... ahem ahem..." Shen Qiang's coughing grew louder and louder.

Shen Muyan turned back impatiently, "Dad, do you have a cold? Go take some medicine; don't spread it to me and Luochuan here."

Shen Qiang hurriedly shut his mouth and walked toward the kitchen, his face full of resentment.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he leaned over to Liu Aiyuan, his tone filled with confusion and anger, "I've raised her for 19 years... Tang Luochuan has only been in charge of her for a month."

Breakfast wasn't ready until after ten o'clock.

Liu Aiyuan had been up for a long time, while Shen Muyan had been awake but hadn't left her room.

As for Shen Muqing, he felt very anxious; after venting all his emotions yesterday, he felt empty.

When he walked out of his room, he carried the lightness of having unloaded a burden, yet also felt some confusion about the future.

"Li Wenjing sent me so many messages last night!" This was the first thing he said as he sat at the table, then he continued, "Some were apologies, some were pleas for mercy, then there were threats, and then empty promises..."

After he finished speaking, no one in the Shen Family replied; they were all waiting for Tang Luochuan to speak.

Tang Luochuan hadn't expressed his stance on this matter until now, but at this moment, he stated his true inner thoughts, "Brother, you make the decision on this matter yourself, but my stance is that, no matter what! I do not recognize a sister-in-law like Li Wenjing. I can help take care of Uncle and Auntie, after all, I will marry Shen Muyan... But!!"

Coming to the main point, he paused and continued, "The premise is that there is no interaction between me and that kind of person, not even indirect ones. For example, if I give money to Shen Muyan, and Shen Muyan goes to support the other party... that is not allowed!"

"I understand, and I agree with your point of view! It's just that our family is an ordinary family, and making the decision to break off an engagement still requires time to process..."

"I understand!" Tang Luochuan nodded and said, "How about this, let's all go out and have fun together later. We have one more day, and we're going back to Magic City tomorrow! I want to see what's fun around Gusu."

"Hahaha, sure!" Shen Muqing finally smiled.

"Also, if you are sure you want the betrothal gifts back, I will help you contact a lawyer! You communicate directly with the lawyer. Don't let this kind of thing drag on too long; get back what you can. Teaching them a lesson is enough; there's no point in fighting to the death."
