If she were really going to cheat on him, it would have had nothing to do with Zhao Sinian anyway.
At these words, Shen Yanzhi wrapped his arm around Jiang Li’s waist and cleared her name. "She wasn’t the one cheating. I’m the one who’s been plotting this for a long time."
"But I still have to thank you, ex-hubby. If you hadn’t demanded more dowry at the last minute, I wouldn’t have had the chance to step up."
Zhong Mufeng looked on as if her favorite ship had just set sail, grinning from ear to ear like she’d fallen into a candy jar.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then she realized Shen Yanzhi must have said that to back her up.
She smacked a kiss on Shen Yanzhi’s cheek and looked at Zhao Sinian provocatively. "Thanks, ex-hubby! If it weren’t for you, how could I have married such an outstanding man?"
She added generously, "No need to give us a red envelope. After all, you played your part."
With that, she gave the manager a look. The manager waved his hand, and a dozen or so security guards immediately grabbed the members of the Zhao Family and hauled them out of the hotel.
Once the eyesores were gone, Shen Yanzhi loosened his grip.
Jiang Bowen tried to save face, speaking with a benevolent expression. "Let’s go. We’ll head upstairs first."
Shen Yanzhi said apologetically, "Dad, the wedding might have to wait a little longer. My parents are still on their way."
Jiang Bowen waved his hand dismissively. "It’s fine. A minor issue."
Jiang Li, meanwhile, took the opportunity to video call a Cartier employee and ask for a new pair of wedding rings to be delivered urgently.
But when the person on the other end asked for the groom’s ring size, Jiang Li paused, turned, and tugged on Shen Yanzhi’s sleeve. "Shen Yanzhi, what’s your ring size?"
"20."
Jiang Li nodded, relayed the size, chose a matching pair of rings, and completed the payment.

DING—
[Kyoto Bank] Your debit card ending in 6710 was credited with 1,880,000,000.00 yuan at 11:48 on December 25, 2025. Your new balance is 1,930,840,082.00 yuan.
Jiang Li counted the digits again and again. In total, it was a ten-digit number.
’Wow. I used to think a "small goal"—a hundred million yuan—was a huge deal. Now I have more than a dozen of them just like that.’
’If I spend all of this on Shen Yanzhi, judging by the multipliers I’ve gotten so far, I’ll end up with trillions upon trillions!’
’The thought alone made her so excited she wanted to do a Thomas flare on the spot.’
Jiang Li switched off her phone and turned to Shen Yanzhi, her face full of anticipation. "Shen Yanzhi, you just got back to the country, so I assume you haven’t prepared a marital home. Why don’t we go buy one after the wedding?"
Shen Yanzhi wanted to say that it wasn’t necessary; he had already prepared one long ago.
But when he met Jiang Li’s sparkling eyes, he found he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. "Okay."
The large group piled into the elevator, and only then did Jiang Li belatedly make the introductions. "Dad, Mom, this is Shen Yanzhi, my college classmate."
Shen Yanzhi greeted them, "Dad, Mom."
Although he was very satisfied with this son-in-law, Jiang Bowen still had to ask the obligatory questions. "Xiao Shen, what do you do for work?"
Shen Yanzhi answered honestly, "I was abroad before. I just returned yesterday. I have a small investment firm overseas."
Noticing Jing Shiyun’s displeased expression, he quickly added, "But now that I’m married to Xiao Li, I’ll naturally be developing my career back here in the country."
Hearing this, a faint smile finally appeared on Jing Shiyun’s face. "Our country is developing well these days. As long as you keep your feet on the ground and work steadily, life will always get better."
Shen Yanzhi nodded. "Dad, Mom, please don’t worry. I will definitely build a good life with Xiao Li."
As one of the people at the center of this, Jiang Li’s face turned as red as if she’d caked on an entire compact of blush.
Especially when she met Zhong Mufeng’s teasing gaze, she felt as if she were being stripped bare.
With a "DING—", the elevator doors opened.
Directly in front of them was a large welcome poster, which prominently featured the photo from Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi’s marriage certificate.
You had to admit, the advertising company was incredibly efficient.
Jiang Li and Zhong Mufeng returned to the dressing room, while Shen Yanzhi went with Jiang Bowen and Jing Shiyun to greet their friends and relatives.
After all, the entire Zhao Family had left, so those who remained were all from the Jiang Family’s side, as well as Jiang Li’s classmates and colleagues.
As soon as they sat down, Zhong Mufeng wiggled her eyebrows at Jiang Li. "So? How are you feeling right now?"
Jiang Li touched up her makeup with a cushion compact. "Nervous. Excited."
Zhong Mufeng clucked her tongue. "I never, ever would have expected you to be the one to land Shen Yanzhi."
She finally concluded, "It seems like he really did like you back then. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? You get married today, and he flew back into the country yesterday."
Jiang Li shot Zhong Mufeng a playful glare. "It’s not as wild as you’re making it out to be."
