C7 I Came to Check on Him Personally!

Marrying Shen Nianxin into the wealthy Liang family was everyone's shared goal, wasn't it? Shen Geyao's heart was bleeding. How could her grandfather be so biased when they were both his granddaughters? Was it just because Nianxin was obedient and could potentially leverage the Liang family's influence to benefit the Shen family's business? Meanwhile, she, the family's troublemaker, was destined to be a source of worry?

What pained her wasn't the marriage itself, but the cold-blooded relatives surrounding her. All eyes were on Liang Xinghao, who remained silent, his lips pressed in a thin line. Was he contemplating or silently refusing? Shen Geyao calmly observed him. Although it was her first time meeting the young master of the Liang family, he appeared humble and gentle. Yet, his deep eyes were as unfathomable as the vast night sky. Even the old man, with all his years of experience, couldn't decipher what this young man was thinking.

As everyone eagerly awaited the young master's decision, a petite figure suddenly stepped past the shy Nianxin and approached Liang Xinghao directly. "Yao, what are you doing?" Nianxin's palms were sweaty with subconscious tension. Growing up, she had always outshone Shen Geyao in everything, except for one thing.

That face of hers, Shen Geyao's!

Even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew Shen Geyao had the most beautiful face among the Shen family girls.

She worried that Xinghao might be charmed by Shen Geyao, which would shatter her dream of becoming the lady of the Liang family.

The old man frowned as Shen Geyao approached. "Yao, haven't you embarrassed us enough? Get out!"

She didn't even consider how she looked right now! Wearing some man's shirt from who knows where, her legs exposed beneath it, she looked downright scandalous!

And she dared to brazenly walk up to Xinghao like this, intent on ruining the Shen family's reputation?

"I'm still clean," Shen Geyao ignored the scolding behind her, her bright eyes fixed unwaveringly on the young master of the Liang family sitting on the couch.

Her tone was steady, without a hint of humility or guilt, only determination.

"Whether you believe it or not, I was indeed set up tonight, but I escaped! You can have a doctor examine me if you want..."

"Have you caused enough trouble, you crazy girl? Get back and reflect on your actions!" The old man grabbed Shen Geyao's arm, pulling her back forcefully.

Seeing this, the butler had no choice but to step in and help, trying to get Shen Geyao out of there.

"Let go!"

Suddenly, Liang Xinghao, who had been silent all along, stood up and walked toward Shen Geyao. His voice was commanding, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

The old man's grip loosened, and the butler quickly released her, retreating to the corner as if avoiding a ghost. Every eye in the room was fixed on Liang Xinghao, filled with confusion, unsure of his intentions.

Liang Xinghao casually approached Shen Geyao, suddenly lifting her chin with his finger, raising her enviable face. He asked calmly, "Are you sure you're clean?"

The Liang family, in terms of power and wealth, could easily overshadow the Shen family. Having the young master of the Liang family visit was akin to royalty visiting local officials. Even though Liang Xinghao's behavior might seem a bit disrespectful to the Shen family, no one dared to utter a word of dissent.

Shen Geyao looked directly at him, feeling neither excitement nor fear for this fiancé she was meeting for the first time. In truth, she had no desire to marry him. However, the cold-hearted actions of Shen Nianxin and her grandfather had thoroughly angered her.

You, Shen Nianxin, want this man? Well, I won't let that happen!

"If you don't believe me, feel free to consult a doctor..."

"Why go through all that trouble?" Liang Xinghao's lips curled into a tempting smile, revealing a hint of mischief. "If there's an examination to be done, I'll handle it myself!"
