Chapter 1147: Chapter 1174:

Lu Xingshen’s heartbeat suddenly suffocated for a moment. His pupils constricted deeply as he gazed frostily at Shi Nuan’s pretty cheeks. "What do you need the household registration booklet for?"

Being stared at by him so invasively, Shi Nuan felt a bit nervous for a moment, but upon recalling her goal, she gritted her teeth and said, "I’m going to marry Chu Zhan."

Lu Xingshen felt as if the sky was about to collapse; his eyes instantly turned red. He abruptly stepped forward, grasping Shi Nuan’s shoulders with his hands. His arms bulged with terrifying veins due to suppressed emotions, almost gritting his teeth as he spoke, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Shi Nuan was terrified by his murderous gaze, yet inexplicably, she felt a sense of relief. Perhaps due to the years of repression, there was a rebellious part of her that had always been pushed down, unable to be released.

And at this moment, she was putting it all on the line. Calmly and loudly, she said, "I’m going to marry Chu Zhan. Shi Family’s mom and dad have already agreed to it. I’m not a member of the Shi Family anymore. Uncle, give me the household registration booklet!"

"What are Shi Family people worth? What use is their approval?" Overcome with grief and anger, Lu Xingshen cursed directly, his grip on her shoulders subconsciously tightening. "I’m telling you, Shi Nuan, I don’t agree with you marrying Chu Zhan. You belong under my care; you have to listen to me."

"It hurts, Uncle, let go of me." Shi Nuan frowned. The feeling was indescribable; suddenly, she felt a bit repulsed by this version of Lu Xingshen, so she pushed him away.

"Uncle, I told you last time, I owe you nothing." Shi Nuan looked at him coldly. "No matter what you think, I believe I’ve already repaid everything. I am my own person, not your possession. You have no right to control anything I do; whom I marry is none of your business. We are not blood-related."

Lu Xingshen laughed twice, "Xiao Nuan, you really surprise me more and more now. So, Chu Zhan has indeed corrupted you, making my obedient Xiao Nuan disappear and daring to oppose me more and more."

"This has nothing to do with Chu Zhan, don’t blame everything on him!"

Shi Nuan protectively said, "Uncle, don’t you understand why I’m speaking to you this way? Originally, I didn’t want to bring it up, but you clearly know Chu Zhan is my boyfriend. As my elder, yet behind my back, you played tricks that almost got Chu Zhan killed. How can you hurt the person I like so much?

Do you know, Chu Zhan considers me, knowing you are my family, and couldn’t bear to trouble me so he doesn’t hold it against you.

But you never consider things from my perspective; that’s the reason I choose Chu Zhan!"

Lu Xingshen angrily replied, "Don’t think so highly of him, don’t I know what kind of person Chu Zhan is? Would he trouble himself?

It’s nothing but retreating for advancement, intentionally creating distance between you and me. How could such a scheming man deserve you!"

"I won’t let you say that about him. Even if he’s scheming, I’ve felt things with him I never felt before, and that’s enough."

Shi Nuan said as she took out a card. "Uncle, here is fifty thousand yuan, all saved over these eighteen years, plus some gifts you bought for me which I’ve sold. I’m giving it to you now, considering it repayment for your support all these years. In the future, when you’re old, I will still honor you together with Chu Zhan. You will always be my family."
