Shen Weiyi gave a cold laugh.
"Once this request is made," she pondered, "it's still debatable whether we can truly become one family."
Of course, she knew Aunt Jing and Uncle Sheng wouldn't call off the engagement over this.
But even if the Sheng Family, out of consideration for her, came up with the money, how could she be sure they wouldn't hold it against her and the Shen Family?
Coveting the in-laws' money before even entering the family is displeasing to anyone. Even if they don't express it openly, it plants a thorn in the hearts of the in-laws. They probably never considered how this might affect her. Even if they did, they likely wouldn't care. In the end, what they care about is their own interest.
Yet they have the nerve to call this family.
If Shen Technology needed funds for cash flow, or if Shen Juanzhi encountered trouble, she might swallow her pride and ask for help. But for the people of the old house, she was sorry—she couldn't do it.
