Hearing the dull thud, everyone was startled and turned their heads towards the door.

"Shen Zhui, you're asking for it!"

Jiang Chen lunged in with the speed of an arrow, and the moment he saw Shen Zhui down on one knee before Ye Jingyi, holding a diamond ring, he was instantly furious.

He threw the contract in his hand onto the shoe cabinet by the door and roared as he pounced toward Shen Zhui.

When he reached Shen Zhui, Jiang Chen kicked out, and the onlookers only saw a blur before Shen Zhui yelped and rolled to one side.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Wan scolded Jiang Chen and reached out to help Shen Zhui up.

Jiang Chen wanted to continue the altercation, but Ye Jingyi quickly grabbed his arm, "Jiang Chen, stop..."

Zhou Ru and others were somewhat dazed, staring at Jiang Chen, while Wang Dongyang glanced at the shoe cabinet with confusion; he saw where Jiang Chen placed the contract but had no clue what it was.

Shen Zhui climbed up from the ground, glaring furiously at Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, you're here? Perfect! I'll give you a million, and you will divorce Jingyi right now, immediately!"

Jiang Chen's voice was cold: "I'll give you ten million to get lost right now."

Shen Zhui bellowed, "Ten million? Do you have ten million? You're nothing but a scam artist."

Jiang Chen snickered: "What if I do? Would you get out of the villa right now and never see Jingyi again? Just agree, and I assure you, you'll get it."

Zhou Ru and the rest were dumbfounded, struggling to react.

Is this the same Jiang Chen? The one everyone thought was a scumbag, a freeloader, how could he be so confident? He's actually claiming to have ten million? That's not just a thousand bucks.

Something seemed amiss.

Zhou Ru and the rest didn't speak up, choosing instead to watch from the sidelines for the moment.

"You..." Shen Zhui was about to agree to Jiang Chen, but then he thought, hang on! This guy treated Brother Long; maybe Brother Long really did reward him with ten million.

His eyes shifting cunningly, Shen Zhui sneered: "Stop making trouble here, even if you have ten million, that must be swindled money. You're an utter scam artist, how can you compare to me? There's a world of difference between us! What right do you have to vie for Jingyi with me?"

"Because I'm married to Jingyi!"

The coldness in Jiang Chen's voice subdued his rage, knowing he couldn't resort to violence here.

Shen Zhui's expression changed slightly as he shouted angrily, "What capabilities do you have? In terms of education, I studied abroad and returned with a master's degree from Oufu University! What about you?"

Jiang Chen snorted: "I married Jingyi."

Shen Zhui's eyes bulged: "Talking about family assets, the Shen Family's wealth is in the billions, and I am the sole heir! What about you?"

Jiang Chen: "I married Jingyi."

Shen Zhui: "In business acumen, I've been in the family company for three years, and I've already earned tens of millions for the family. Everyone praises me as a business prodigy! And you?"

Jiang Chen: "I married Jingyi."

Shen Zhui: "In terms of worldly experience, I've traveled south, ventured north, fly internationally several times a year. I've been to the Northern Confederation, visited the United Kingdom, and traveled through dozens of countries around the globe! And you?"

Jiang Chen: "I married Jingyi."

"Pfft—"

Shen Zhui felt like he was about to cough up blood; no matter what he said, Jiang Chen's response was always the same: 'I married Jingyi.'

And yet he couldn't refute that; they were indeed married.

Shen Zhui was close to going insane with rage; no matter what he said, Jiang Chen's one-liner always seemed to strike him to the core, deeply and precisely.

No matter how much he proved he was better than Jiang Chen, the person next to Ye Jingyi's photo on the marriage certificate was Jiang Chen, not him, Shen Zhui.

This frustration was almost suffocating him to death, his face turned green, and he was trembling with fury, panting heavily, glaring at Jiang Chen with rage, yet unable to utter a word.

Lin Wan, Zhou Ru, Ye Jingxiong, and the others were all dumbfounded. They really hadn't expected that Jiang Chen could defeat Shen Zhui with such a simple sentence.

This guy is such a huge liar! Seeing how mad Shen Zhui got, it must be because he has lied so much that he has even derived experience from quarreling.

Ye Jingyi was both angry and amused. Jiang Chen, who usually didn't seem like much, could sometimes say things that were truly infuriating.

And Zhou Ru and the others didn't know how to continue the conversation, all looking towards Shen Zhui to see if he had any other tricks up his sleeve.

Although Shen Zhui was quite angry, he also knew that he absolutely couldn't just give up, as Lin Wan had said that this was his last chance.

Turning his gaze, he said again, "Yes, you are married to Jing Yi, but do you have sincerity? I do!"

As he spoke, he held up the diamond ring in his hand: "This is my greatest sincerity, a million-dollar diamond ring. Do you have one?"

"I..."

Jiang Chen really was stunned. His marriage to Ye Jingyi had been hasty, and he had never bought a diamond ring. And even if he did, he would have to use Zhang Long's money to buy it, which Ye Jingyi wouldn't accept.

What should he do?

Seeing Jiang Chen lost for words, Shen Zhui immediately felt triumphant.

You're done for. You're just a liar after all, a nobody, a poor man who can't even afford a diamond ring. How can you compete with me?

Seeing this, Zhou Ru and the others beside him nodded as well. There was no need to say it, Jiang Chen was just a scammer, and they should hasten to kick him out.

Ye Jingyi was panicked. She knew about Jiang Chen's situation; he really didn't have a diamond ring. It was over!

But at that moment, Jiang Chen had a sudden inspiration. He might not have bought a diamond ring, but he remembered the beautifully packaged box Gong Lin had given to him, which was clearly a cut above the one in Shen Zhui's hands in terms of quality and packaging.

Moreover, Gong Lin's gifts to the people at the investment company were not likely to be shabby.

So Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and shouted, "I do."

"Haha, you do? Stop pretending! If you do, then show it," Shen Zhui laughed scornfully, not believing him at all.

Ye Jingyi was also infuriated. Why, at this moment, was Jiang Chen still fond of pretending to be better off than he was? It would have been better to admit he didn't have it than to tell a lie.

But then, Jiang Chen actually produced a beautifully packaged box from his chest, stunning everyone watching. He really had one?

Next, Jiang Chen tore off the box's outer wrapping, opened the lid, and took a quick, covert peek inside, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

He held the box right side up in front of Ye Jingyi and spoke deeply, "Jing Yi, this is for you. Do you like it?"

When Ye Jingyi saw what was inside the box, her eyes suddenly lit up with an unbelievably joyful surprise.

The others crowded around too, and when they saw what was inside, they were all astonished.

A sparkly pink diamond ring lay quietly inside the box, as if proclaiming to the world the earnest love Jiang Chen held for Ye Jingyi.

Beautiful!

It was simply too beautiful!

In that instant, everyone in the room was silenced, even Shen Zhui, who stared dumbfounded at the pink diamond ring.

Everyone was thoroughly shocked by Jiang Chen's gift!
