Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“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.
