  “Miss, the people from the bank are here.”

  Cen Shuang sat under the crystal lamp and looked at the house she had lived in for 20 years. She nodded stiffly. Three days ago, the Cen family had gone bankrupt. The Cen family, which had stood tall in Lin City for more than a hundred years, had been wiped out in an instant following the disappearance of her father and the suicide of her mother. The butler, Elder, Li had moved her luggage over. This was her last day in the Cen family.

  All the servants had been sent away, leaving only her. After staying here for decades, the Cen family had been disbanded, and she had nowhere to go. The rain that had just fallen last night dripped onto the courtyard. In this August weather, she actually felt an icy chill when she went out.

  Cen Shuang tightened the suitcase she was holding and walked out, not daring to turn back to take another look. Outside the door stood a staff from the bank. Cen Shuang walked over and signed her name. She could not help but ask, “How soon will this house be auctioned?”

  The staff looked at the woman in front of her with amazement. After recovering from the shock, she said, “It should be in half a year.”

  “I heard that this house has a market value of 30 million. I’m afraid that you can’t even afford pancakes now, right Miss Cen?”

  A sarcastic voice came from the sports car parked by the roadside. Cen Shuang coldly watched the two figures walking towards her. Xiao Nan’s gaze fell on Cen Shuang and instantly brightened. The sight of her ruthlessly teased his heart.

  This overly beautiful face, even if it was expressionless, was undeniably stunning. The two girls from the Cen family were famous for their beauty. The eldest sister was gentle, the younger sister was charming, and Cen Shuang was the most famous socialite in Lin City.

  Xiao Nan was one of the many rich young masters who had pursued her. However, although he had pursued her for three years, Cen Shuang had not given him the time of day. He was more delighted than anyone that the Cen family had lost everything.

  Cen Shuang could not be bothered with such a person and turned to leave.

  “Cen Shuang, you’re practically nothing now. What’s there to be proud of?” Jin Ya held onto the man beside her, but her heart was filled with hatred.

  She was also the daughter of a wealthy family and the pearl of the Jin family. However, she had lived under the shadow of the Cen sisters since she was young. Regardless of whether it was the school or the people around them, they only had eyes for the beautiful bodies of the Cen sisters, and Cen Shuang was the one they talked about the most. This time, she wanted to see if Cen Shuang could become the number one socialite in Lin City without the Cen family.

  “The Cen family’s assets have all been seized by the bank. You’re all alone now. It’s quite pathetic. Why don’t you come with me? It’ll save you the trouble of sleeping on the streets tonight.” Xiao Nan’s eyes sparkled. No matter how hard Jin Ya pulled on his arm, his gaze was still fixed on Cen Shuang.

  A woman’s beauty could really seduce one’s soul. Xiao Nan felt that his heart was about to be stolen by the woman in front of him. Even if Cen Shuang stood still, she could still excite him. Xiao Nan could not help but reach out to touch Cen Shuang’s face, but she grabbed his wrist in midair.

  Cen Shuang pushed his hand down. Xiao Nan immediately screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

  “Cen Shuang, you actually hurt someone. Watch out or I’ll call the police.”

  “As you wish.”

  Cen Shuang spat out these two words, then turned around to walk to the end of the road. Behind her, Jin Ya was shouting something. She was already in no mood to listen. Half an hour later, Cen Shuang received a phone call.

  “We are being very sincere. Please consider it carefully, Miss Cen.”

  The corners of Cen Shuang’s lips curled up and she said without hesitation, “I agree.”

  Soon, an address appeared on her phone. It was an address to another villa not far from the Cen family. Someone had proposed to her and she had agreed to marry him.

  The house looked very much like the Cen family’s house, but it was twice its size. Cen Shuang blinked and rang the doorbell. Soon, someone came out to pick her up and brought her into the villa. It was a long walk, and only the sound of her luggage being dragged on the ground could be heard. It was out of place in this quiet courtyard. Cen Shuang walked to the front door and the servants left. However, someone else brought her in.

  There were only two people sitting in the house. One was an old man with white hair, and the other was an elegant lady. When the lady saw Cen Shuang, she could not help but be stunned. Although she had seen Cen Shuang’s photo a long time ago, she did not expect that she was even more stunning than her photo. Such a beautiful woman often could not be kept.

  “You are Cen Shuang!” Lan Yibai said without batting an eyelid. Cen Shuang nodded and greeted them politely. “Hello, Grandpa Zhuang. Hello, Mrs. Zhuang.”

  She was elegant and decent. Such a decent girl was indeed qualified to be her daughter-in-law, but unfortunately……

  “I think it is necessary for me to tell you about Zhuang Hong’s situation.”

  “I know that Young Master Zhuang was in a car accident half a year ago and hasn’t woken up yet.”

  Therefore, she was going to marry a comatose person who might never wake up. This was no different from asking her to stay a widow. Her simple sentence had avoided many unpleasant words. Lan Yibai felt comfortable but also a little worried. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard Cen Shuang’s gentle voice. “I’m willing.”

  It was so simple to agree to. It seemed reasonable to surprise them.

  Chapter 2: Who Would Dare to Protect Her? The Zhuang Family!

  Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

  Everyone in Lin City knew about the Cen family’s affairs. It was precisely because of this that they thought of going to Cen Shuang, a down-and-out daughter who had no one to rely on and was in urgent need of help. To the Zhuang family, Cen Shuang was the most suitable person.

  “If you have any requests, Miss Cen, the Zhuang family will do our best to fulfill them.”

  “I want the Cen family’s villa.” Who would be willing to marry a vegetable for no reason?

  The Zhuang family knew that she would put forward a condition, so they rushed to marry her into the family. After all, a person with an ulterior motive was very easy to manipulate. Lan Yibai looked at the old man. Although the old man did not say anything, he tacitly agreed to everything.

  “Okay, if the bank auctions the Cen family’s villa, the Zhuang family will definitely get it for you.”

  “Thank you.”

  This kind of emotionless transaction was best. Cen Shuang was very satisfied with this marriage. A husband who would never wake up in exchange for the Cen family’s house and her life of glory and wealth was a great deal. She did not lose anything from this exchange except for the fact that her relationship status had changed from unmarried to married.

  “I want an agreement to be signed. The Cen family’s villa will be transferred directly to my name.”

  “Okay, I will get someone to prepare it.” Lan Yibai nodded. Then, she looked at Cen Shuang and asked, “When is the wedding?”

  “The sooner the better. I have no objection to the Zhuang family’s decision on the wedding.”

  “Tomorrow is an auspicious day. Father, look……” Lan Yibai saw that the old man had nodded, and the huge weight in her heart was finally lifted.

  She would be allowed to marry tomorrow. With Cen Shuang’s expedition, the Zhuang family was even more anxious than her. Could it be that Zhuang Hong was dying and she could celebrate? Cen Shuang’s heart was filled with joy. With the Zhuang family’s financial strength, even if Zhuang Hong died, as long as she kept doing what she was supposed to, Lan Yibai would not mistreat her. This world had always been biased against beautiful women. For example, a man like Xiao Nan who harbored evil intentions to be able to stay in the Zhuang family until retirement. Cen Shuang felt that it was really great!

  After discussing the marriage, Cen Shuang left the house and pulled her luggage towards the school. Xiao Nan was right. All the funds of the Cen family, including her credit cards, had been frozen by the bank. She could not even afford mineral water, let alone anything else. The school was very far from the Zhuang family’s residence. Cen Shuang walked extremely steadily in her expensive high heels until a car stopped in front of her. The driver got out of the car and said respectfully, “Miss Cen, Madam has asked me to send you off.”

  She did not expect Lan Yibai to be so meticulous. Even she could tell that she could not afford to take a taxi. She did not say anything inside just now to maintain her dignity. She suddenly felt that her mother-in-law was really not bad. Cen Shuang did not hesitate. She directly told the driver the school address.

  In the Zhuang family’s residence, Lan Yibai heard that Cen Shuang had returned to the school. She looked at the man who was sleeping peacefully on the bed and sighed.

  “Son, this child is quite pitiful. Her parents died and her family property was stolen. She’s just a girl, so you should take care of her and let her be your companion. Oh right, that girl’s name is Cen Shuang. She’s very beautiful and very suitable for you.”

  The man on the bed was still sound asleep. His face looked cold. Because he had been lying on the bed for a long time due to severe injuries, his face was pale and thin. However, his handsome features still came through. Zhuang Hong did not respond to Lan Yibai’s words at all. This situation had been going on for half a year, but Lan Yibai would still insist on talking to him every day. She even hoped that the person on the bed would stand up and scold her.

  In the Lin City Public Security Bureau, Xiao Nan stood with his arm bandaged and in a sling. His gaze could not help but fall on Cen Shuang’s face. “She did this on purpose. I have the injury report from the hospital. Police, quickly lock her up.”

  The public servant on the opposite side frowned at him. He was a grown man making things difficult for a young girl. He clearly did not mind being embarrassed. He glanced at the beautiful girl on the opposite side. “Did you hurt him?”

  “I didn’t know that he was teasing me. I just grabbed his hand. Perhaps this gentleman’s bones are fragile.”

  The person looked at Xiao Nan. He dared to act like a hooligan and he acted like she was the villain.

  “I didn’t touch her. She saw that I was rich and threw herself at me. In short, she broke my arm. The people from the bank can testify for me. My girlfriend also saw it……”

  “Enough. A big man had his arm broken by a little girl. You must be quite weak. Are you guys going to settle this now or in private?”

  Xiao Nan looked at Cen Shuang with malicious intent. “The Cen family is finished. Who would dare to release you? It’s not easy to live in there. Why don’t you beg me not to press charges?”

  “What are you doing? Are you making threats?” The public servant on the other side slammed the table and warned Xiao Nan.

  “No, we’re just discussing the terms of the private deal. This has to be discussed.”

  “It’s official then. Just detain me here,” Cen Shuang said, her face as charming as ever.

  Xiao Nan was not willing to let her off so easily. Just as he was about to open his mouth, someone outside the door said, “Cen Shuang has someone to bail her out. You can leave now.”
