I am not just a tycoon

Seeing her grandmother and sister being so affectionate, Lih Meng felt envious, but what could she do? A secret affair is always meant to be hidden.

Moreover, in front of Shen Yuan's family, she was afraid of leaving a bad impression and had to maintain her good-girl image.

As her gaze drifted to Shen Yuan's roguish face, she felt even more displeased. The more she looked, the more she wanted to punch him—punching him a hundred times wouldn't be enough!

"My sister is almost five months pregnant, and tonight for sure he'll come looking for me. I'll just lock the door from the inside and not let him in, hmph! Let him suffer a bit!"

"But this move is a case of winning a battle but losing the war. Sigh~"

Lih Meng shook her head inwardly.

At this moment, a relative next door remarked, "Xiaoxiao is married now, and even Mengmeng has grown a lot more mature. Look at her sitting there so properly, she looks like such a lady."

"I've got an early eight a.m. class!"

Lih Meng cursed in her heart.

She was already in a bad mood, and then there's this dumb relative dubbing someone's personality with just two encounters and a few words, even labeling them—that's one of the reasons Lih Meng dislikes family gatherings.

Another relative chimed in, "Lih Meng has great prospects too. She's pretty and has a good job. She'll surely find a great partner in the future. Shenghua, you've raised two wonderful daughters."

"That's more like it."

Lih Meng smiled sweetly, feeling a sense of pride.

But as for finding a partner, there's really no need. With a brother-in-law so well-endowed and skillful, other men don't even stand a chance.

Lih Shenghua and Loo Zhen listened to the relatives' praises, their faces beaming with smiles. Then another relative spoke up, "Yes, I heard Shen Yuan even bought a house worth over a million, and right, that AITO M9, Shen Yuan bought that too. Truly a wonderful son-in-law!"

Hearing this, Lih Shenghua and Loo Zhen were even more radiant.

Getting praised in front of others feels even more satisfying than promotions and raises.

Even Loo Zhen, who has been a steady schoolteacher for so many years, felt quite content, modestly waving it off, "It's mostly because Xiaoxiao picked a good partner."

So, things like age and teacher-student relationships are no problem, Old Lih was concerned about this before, but after getting a car and a house out of it, isn't it delightful?

At this point, cousin Shen Wei was chatting casually with Shen Yuan. He had been promoted to the captain of the security squad, and on the last birthday of his father, also Shen Yuan's uncle, Shen Yuan gifted them a house, so their family no longer had to squeeze into a two-bedroom apartment.

"When you were a mischievous kid, I never thought I'd benefit from knowing you one day," Shen Wei said with a smile.

Shen Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Wei, there will be plenty more times you'll benefit from knowing me, just wait. The position of station chief will be yours sooner or later."

Shen Wei shook his head laughingly, "I'd be quite content if I could retire as a deputy chief."

"That's not good enough, you have to be the top dog."

Shen Wei is arguably Shen Yuan's closest peer relative. He was the one always cleaning up Shen Yuan's messes as a kid. Knowing how much his uncle and aunt cared for him, now that Shen Yuan is doing well, he has to help his cousin reach the top.

"Hahaha, alright, let me enjoy some thrills of being in charge."

Shen Wei didn't hold back with Shen Yuan, as they've never feared troubling each other since they were young. After a few more casual words, he glanced at Lih Xiao and asked, "You and this sister-in-law got married abroad, what about the other sister-in-law?"

He was referring to Su Xuewei. The last time her family was in trouble, Shen Wei was the one who helped out.

After that incident, when Shen Wei patrolled the area, he occasionally checked in on them. Later on, when they moved out of the red building, Shen Wei knew his cousin had relocated them to another place.

Shen Wei had some understanding of Su Xuewei's family situation. To have been admitted to Nanzhong University from such an environment and managed her family affairs so well was no easy feat, and given the initial impression, Shen Wei couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

"She's in Star City, doing well."

Shen Yuan replied casually.

"Don't treat her poorly."

"You're just like my mom, worried that I won't treat everyone equally. Don't worry, I've got that balancing act down pat."

In truth, these travel weddings are merely ceremonial, without legal effect; Shen Yuan is simply prescribing the right remedy—Teacher Lih yearns for a sacred wedding ceremony, so Shen Yuan gives her a wedding.

Being so young, Su Xuewei doesn't have many plans. At this stage, she just desires more companionship.

As for the other NPCs, most of them didn't even think about getting married with him, as they knew from the start about his other women and didn't entertain the thought of a wedding.

"That's okay then."

While the two were chatting, Shen Xuan came over, humming, "Oh, what insights are the two most promising guys of the Old Shen family sharing?"

Shen Yuan didn't give a good-natured response, "Go away, adults are talking, kids shouldn't butt in."

"Huh, when you need help it's all 'Younger Sister Xuan' this and that, but when you don't, it's 'go away'."

Shen Xuan folded her arms, "The term 'ungrateful wretch' describes people like you."

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Huh, you didn't take any benefits, right? Give me back the car, the house, and the bags."

"It's not reasonable to take back gifts once you've given them."

Shen Xuan raised her face, "You should realize that I'm your biological sister, and if your kids don't care for you in the future, who else but I will take care of you in your old age?"

"Huh, who will go first is still uncertain."

"Alright, alright, you two say something auspicious."

Shen Wei directly interrupted, giving them a serious look, "Whoamong you two will go first is uncertain, but I'll definitely be the last, hahaha..."

"...."

In the midst of laughter and playful banter, it was time to board the plane. They all boarded the Gulfstream G650ER with anticipation. The in-flight service was provided by Olivia, the flight attendant from Shen Yuan's first private jet charter.
