Su Xiu’s gaze then landed on Shen Yan’s face. She smiled and complimented, “Yanyan looks better than before.”

“Indeed, my daughter is the prettiest.” Jiang Jing uttered proudly and gave Fu Xiaoxiao a sidelong glance. “At least she’s better than some girl whose head is filled with nasty thoughts and is worse than an animal.”

Fu Xiaoxiao’s face turned red from her comment. She inadvertently met Shen Yan’s gaze and felt a little guilty, inexplicably.

The servants brought up tea instantly when they entered the living room. Shen Kun said indifferently, “There’s no need to be polite. After all, our families have nothing to do with each other. I came here today mainly to settle accounts.”

As soon as Shen Kun said this, Old Master Fu’s expression changed.

There were four prominent families that kept a low profile, and the head of those four families was the Shen Family.

The Shen family was also ranked as one of the top families in the world, and their status was not inferior to the British royal family.

Immense regret filled Old Master Fu’s heart. However, he regained his composure quickly, and his expression was quickly devoid of any emotion. He hinted to Fu Hang, “What are you waiting for? Go pour tea for your ex-parents-in-law.”

Fu Hang sat at the side, and his hands were clenched. He stared at Shen Yan, but a chill ran through his heart when he saw Shen Yan’s calm demeanor.

Shen Kun’s gaze swept past Fu Hang coolly. He then took out a bank card. “Here’s 10 million. The expenses of Yanyan for marrying into your family.”

Old Master Fu originally expected Shen Kun to question why the Fu family had not treated Shen Yan well, but his attention was drawn to the bank card placed by Shen Kun on the coffee table.

This was a bank card that could only be used by members of the prominent families that kept a low profile in the country. People who owned this bank card could not only enjoy all kinds of benefits in the country, but it also acted as a symbol of their status. When officials from all over the country saw this bank card, they would treat those who owned it with courtesy.

This bank card represented supreme glory.

“President Shen, you…” Old Master Fu looked at Shen Kun hesitantly. He wanted this bank card badly.

“Old Master Fu, our Shen family has never liked to owe others. This money is enough to cover Yanyan’s daily expenses when she was in the Fu family. If you feel it’s not enough, you can calculate it and report it to me later on.”

He paused and then said, “This sums up what the Shen family owes to the Fu family. Now, let’s settle what the Fu family owes the Shen family!”

Shen Kun had been in the business world for many years, and he had long developed the ability to intimidate others without being angry. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Fu family could feel the anger coming from him.

Fu Xiaoxiao shrank her neck and did not dare to speak. She had a vague feeling that she might be going to the ancestral hall to receive punishment again.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoxiao’s legs went weak. Su Xiu, who was standing at the side, held her.

“Mom,” Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Su Xiu as if she was begging for help.

Su Xiu pursed her lips and did not say anything. She knew very well what kind of person her daughter was.

Old Master Fu glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao, then at Shen Yan. Looking at Shen Yan’s face, which resembled Shen Kun’s and Jiang Jing’s, he wanted to slap himself hard.

He did think that Shen Yan looked familiar before, but he did not take it seriously because he could not find out her identity.

“President Shen, we used to be in-laws.” Old Master Fu felt pain in his heart. They were presented with such a great opportunity, yet it was gone just like that. “Why do we have to be so courteous?”

Old Master Fu was naturally pretending to be confused.

Shen Kun heard his words and felt that he was shameless. It was wishful thinking trying to settle the score this easily.

“Old Master Fu, you seem to be confused. Shen Yan’s expenses when marrying into the Fu family have been accounted for. Now, we have yet to settle what the Fu family owes Shen Yan. Why? Is the Fu family unable to bear the consequences?” Shen Kun’s eyes turned cold. He looked at Old Master Fu with a grim face.

Hearing Shen Kun’s words, Old Master Fu’s face darkened.
