It seems Su Jian doesn't know Zhou Yi's identity!
While Shen Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Yu Anping wanted to get rid of Zhou Yi because of his adopted daughter, so why didn't he tell Su Jian about it?
Once Zhou Yi is murdered, whether it was done by his adopted daughter or Yu Anping, the most direct beneficiary will be Su Jian.
But... clearly Su Jian was unaware of this matter.
Yu Anping betrayed Old Master Qi and turned to his adopted daughter. Wasn't it all for the sake of his future?
Old Master Qi is getting old and his health is deteriorating. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, the Qi family will fall into Su Jian's hands.
Yu Anping did so much, but Su Jian, the future head of the family, was unaware of it. What was the point of his silent dedication?
"Yan Yan, you have no idea how nervous I was when I heard you had a seizure and fell into a coma."
“It was late at night. I got up in the middle of the night and bought the nearest plane ticket to fly here... just to see you. I can’t even imagine how painful it would be if something happened to you.”
"........." Su Jian continued to flatter himself.
Shen Bingyan lowered her head and remained silent, a sense of suspicion rising within her.
On the surface, he remained calm and composed, but in his heart, he was thinking that once he returned to Kyoto, he would definitely investigate Yu Anping thoroughly.
She had a gut feeling that this person was hiding something!
Su Jian noticed that Shen Bingyan was distracted while talking to him, and a hint of impatience flashed across his face.
He had already behaved so well, yet Shen Bingyan was so perfunctory and indifferent when chatting with him, which was an insult to him.
Su Jian's gaze fell on Shen Bingyan's face; this woman looked absolutely stunning when she was sick.
She looked much better than her usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
His gaze drifted down to Shen Bingyan's rose-colored lips. Her full lips were like dewdrops before the sun rose in the morning, making one want to possess them.
Then, he looked at Shen Bingyan's slender neck.
This woman seemed to glow from head to toe; there wasn't a single unattractive part of her.
Even her neck was snow-white, as if tempting one to taste her.
Su Jian stood up and leaned slightly closer to Shen Bingyan, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to kiss her neck: "Both of the old men have already agreed to our marriage, Yan Yan, marry me."
"I swear, I will love you and cherish you for the rest of my life..."
The moment Su Jian stood up, Shen Bingyan felt a chill run down her spine.
With her innate sense of danger, Shen Bingyan leaned back and quickly pushed Su Jian away before he even got close.
Feeling the soft, yielding touch on his body, Su Jian's eyes, filled with desire, looked towards the hand on his chest.
"Such soft hands."
"You're so weak, baby. Are you playing hard to get?"
"I knew it. One day, you would agree to be with me, and we would get married..."
Su Jian said that he wanted to touch Shen Bingyan's hand.
Shen Bingyan quickly withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and said coldly, "Please have some self-respect! Su Jian, get out of here right now!"
If Shen Bingyan's body hadn't been so weak that she could barely stand up.
Otherwise, given Shen Bingyan's temperament, she would have taken action without saying a word, and Su Jian would have been kicked to the ground long ago.
However, because of her weak body, she could only lean back to prevent the two from having close contact.
Su Jian is not bad-looking, but Shen Bingyan still has a slight germaphobia about him and doesn't like to get too close to people.
Su Jian was first intimidated by the coldness in Shen Bingyan's words, and then, seeing the disgust in Shen Bingyan's eyes, Su Jian suddenly seemed to be provoked, and his body, which was about to retreat, abruptly stopped.
Her eyes blazed with an intense possessiveness; did she loathe him?
She actually hates him?!
This is an utter disgrace!!
Previously, Su Jian thought that even the most virtuous woman could be swayed by persistent suitors, but after seeing the unchanging coldness in Shen Bingyan's eyes and the fleeting look of disgust just now...
Su Jian suddenly changed his mind.
He stared at Shen Bingyan with bloodshot eyes, intending to give her one last chance.
He would let Shen Bingyan go today if she agreed to submit to him.
After all, he wasn't a beast. He naturally felt sorry for Shen Bingyan, who had just woken up. Her body was too weak to withstand strenuous activity. Moreover, Shen Bingyan was a young lady of the Shen family, not some other woman he could play with at will.
"Yan Yan, I'll repeat myself." Su Jian's face turned cold: "The two old men have already tacitly approved of our marriage. We can say that we are already engaged."
"Even if something happens, it's only natural."
"Do you really want to push me away?"
Shen Bingyan's innate sensitivity to crisis made her realize what Su Jian was planning to do to her.
Shen Bingyan secretly gathered her strength, intending to defeat Su Jian in one move. She sneered, "Is that so? Our Shen family has not agreed to this marriage."
"And I don't like you, so give up on that idea."
"I will not marry you!"
Shen Bingyan's coldness made Su Jian's eyebrows twitch. He stared at Shen Bingyan's red lips with a furious yet mocking smile.
"Heh, good, good, good enough to give up on this idea! But there's nothing in this world that I can't get. Shen Bingyan, you forced me to this."
"I, Su Jian, will make you submit to anyone I've chosen, even if it means using force."
“Once we have a relationship, and with the medicine my grandfather has that can cure genetic diseases, I don’t believe the Shen family will refuse my marriage proposal.”
Su Jian lowered his head and kissed Shen Bingyan. After returning to China, he investigated a lot about the Shen family.
They also knew about the hereditary illness in the Shen family, and that their bodies would be weak for several days after they woke up from their slumber.
Shen Bingyan has just woken up, and she is definitely powerless to resist right now.
Then I'll take her now.
Su Jian was, after all, a young master who had never experienced hardship. He did not know that people could briefly unleash tremendous strength when they were on the verge of death. Moreover, Shen Bingyan was no ordinary person; her physical condition was better than that of the average person.
In the blink of an eye, just as Su Jian was about to kiss her, Shen Bingyan was caught off guard.
He struck suddenly—
Shen Bingyan grabbed Su Jian's chin with both hands and lifted it up forcefully, with a snapping sound.
Su Jian's jaw dislocated, and then Shen Bingyan slammed her knee into Su Jian's stomach. Su Jian screamed and fell to his knees in front of Shen Bingyan.
"Ouch, it hurts! It hurts so much!!!"
Having done all this, Shen Bingyan was completely exhausted, and her hands gripping the sofa were trembling slightly.
My hands are exhausted from using too much force!
