Over the past three years, similar dramas have been happening almost every day.
I took a deep breath, stood up, and threw the broken pieces of porcelain into the trash can.
As soon as I walked back to the utility room-turned-"bedroom" where I lived, I heard a commotion coming from the front hall. Looking through the window, the Su family's old house was brightly lit, and several black Bentleys were parked at the door with consecutive license plates - people from the Zhao family were coming.
The news that Su Qingtang was marrying the Zhao family had spread throughout the antique circle half a month ago.
The Su family is in the antique business. Business has become increasingly difficult to do in recent years. Mr. Su, Su Mingyuan, has always wanted to find a powerful in-law to join forces. The Zhao family is an auction house with strong capital, and its position in the industry is second only to several established auction houses. Zhao Heting, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is said to be proficient in treasure appraisal and is a well-known young talent in the industry.
And I, Shen Hexuan, am just the son-in-law who brings great joy to the Su family. Su Qingtang married me because Mr. Su was seriously ill and the fortune teller said he wanted to have a wedding. She didn't want to marry an outsider, so she randomly found me from the street who had no father or mother.
