Old Mrs. Shen’s voice was filled with righteous indignation. She pulled Ye Qianqian’s hand over and scrutinized it with furrowed brows. “Indeed, I was right,” she said. “This lady won’t do.”

Ye Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, and awkwardness enveloped her. The expression on Shen Zhilie’s face darkened, and he said, “Grandma, I am the one marrying her, not you. Previously, you told me that you liked Lili. I listened to you and wooed her. However, right now, Qianqian is the one I like. Can’t you just support my decision?”

“No. This lady is destined for a short life. You cannot marry her! If you marry her, your life will be shortened, too!” Old Mrs. Shen stomped her foot in anger and continued, “I’m not out to harm you! I’m doing all of this for your own good! My dear Zhilie, please don’t make me angry. If I say no, it means no!”

“Grandma, you don’t get the last say in matters of this world!”

“But I do in matters of this household!” Old Mrs. Shen retorted angrily. “You are forbidden from being with her!”

Ye Qianqian began to tremble, and she forcefully snatched her hand back. She was feeling so uncomfortable that she couldn’t even bring herself to paste a smile on her face. Ye Qianqian took a step back and said, “Zhilie, don’t argue with your grandmother anymore. I’ll leave.”

Shen Zhilie’s face turned ugly, and he pulled Ye Qianqian to his side as he shouted angrily, “No way!”

Ye Qianqian was horrified and could feel her heart beating in her throat.

Shen Longyue, his wife, and Nanny He were all watching. Ye Qianqian’s eyes began to burn with unshed tears. She put up a struggle and said, “I…”

“No.” Shen Zhilie softened his tone but remained very firm. “Grandma, you need to stop with your superstitions. Do you have any idea how many people have been hurt because of your superstitious beliefs?”
