Chapter 46 Visitors 1
After finishing the exhibition early, Yu Yin had a busy day, so she chose to rest and give herself a day off the next day.
In the villa's open-air swimming pool, crystal clear water splashed up, then quickly fell and disappeared.
Pulling over to the shore, Yu Yin wiped the water off her face and rested for a moment, catching her breath. She glanced at the data displayed on her fitness tracker. Today's exercise volume had already reached the target.
The only sport Yu Yin excelled at was swimming. Growing up by the sea, it was natural for her to be able to swim. Whenever she was asked to fill out a special skill list, she would choose swimming.
Yu Yin doesn't like sports, but she loves beauty, so maintaining a good figure is a must for her. She also has a nutritionist and a personal fitness trainer.
She came out of the swimming pool and Yu Meimei came over and put a towel on her.
"Thank you." Yu Yin adjusted the position of the towel and asked, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Weiming and Mr. Kaiming from the Shang family are visiting our home."
Yu Yin knew that Shang Weiming was Shang Zhuoming's younger brother. As for Kaiming, she didn't know him. "Did he tell her why he suddenly came here?"
"The two gentlemen didn't say anything, but I recently received some news. I heard that Mr. Kaiming had sued him, and the court summons had been sent to his home."
Yu Meimei looked at Yu Yin's expression and guessed that she didn't know about this matter. "I heard that Kaiming was talking nonsense in front of Mr., making up rumors and causing trouble. It seems that it is related to a previous scandal of Mr.. Mr. asked him to continue speaking in court."
Zhao Shunian doesn't have time to go to court, but he can entrust a lawyer to appear in court on his behalf and play slowly with Shang Kaiming.
Yu Yin suddenly recalled what happened on the evening of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Zhao Shunian had said he would sue anyone who spread rumors of an improper relationship. She hadn't expected him to actually do that, and had assumed he was just impulsively refuting Ms. Li's rhetoric.
After returning from London, Zhao Shunian worked in the capital and did not return to Hong Kong.
His most common address in the capital is the office building of the Zhaoshi Group, where several floors are used for management to rest. One of them is his exclusive rest area, which is as comfortable as the Lake and Mountain Villa, and the staff serving him are fully equipped.
The second permanent residence is Hushan Villa. It is convenient for Yu Yin, but not as convenient as the group.
If he went directly to the group to find Zhao Shunian, he would most likely be rejected. The probability of being allowed in at Hushan Villa would be greater. Yu Yin also understood why the two people from the Shang family came here.
Yu Yin felt that Zhao Shunian's return home time was very regular recently. During the week, he came back on Wednesday night, left on Thursday morning, came back on Friday night, and left on Monday morning.
Yu Yin felt that she was not fit to meet the guests in this state. She needed to take a shower and take care of herself. "I don't have time now and don't want to meet them. Have they come in?"
"They explained their identities and brought up the relationship between Mr. Shang Zhuoming and Mr. [Mr.], and seeing they weren't lying, the security guard let them in."
"Tell the security guards to let anyone in casually. Don't let this kind of dereliction of duty happen a second time." Yu Yin didn't want to entertain some unknown and unfamiliar people who took up his rest time. It would have been best to refuse them before they came in. However, the security guards dragged their feet and let the people in without reporting.
She thought for a moment and said, "Meimei, tell them I'm busy and ask them to leave."
Yu Meimei agreed, "Yes, ma'am."
In the living room of the main building, Xiaowen and another maid served tea and fruit to the two brothers of the Shang family. Shang Kaiming saw her simple and natural beauty, his heart moved slightly, and his eyes lingered on her without concealment.
Xiaowen cursed in her heart that this person was so disgusting. She was so ignorant that she thought rich people were as serious and well-behaved as gentlemen and mistresses.
Suddenly, Xiaowen caught a glimpse of Ye Ma standing not far away, and Ye Ma was looking at Shang Kaiming without any courtesy.
Shang Kaiming immediately retracted his gaze, his expression becoming more respectful. He knew at a glance that Ye Ma was an old servant from Hong Kong City. This kind of old servant was very powerful. If she said a few bad words about him to Zhao Shunian, he would be doomed.
After Shang Kaiming waited patiently for a while, he grew impatient and whispered to Shang Weiming, "That illegitimate daughter of the Liang family is so arrogant. She made us wait for her."
"You'd better keep your mouth shut and be more respectful to others. If Third Aunt hadn't begged my mother, I wouldn't have wanted to bring you here at all, and it would have caused me to be treated coldly."
After a while, Yu Meimei came over to greet them. "I've already contacted my wife, but she can't make it due to her current schedule. I'm sorry."
Yu Meimei pretended to see someone off, and Shang Kaiming asked, "Isn't she at home?"
She smiled. "I don't think anyone ever mentioned the wife was home. Mr. Shang, take care."
Shang Weiming felt a sense of relief, as if a mission had been accomplished. "Okay, we'll meet again when there's a chance. Assistant Yu can stay."
He took away Shang Kaiming who didn't want to leave.
Shang Weiming was just taking his cousin Shang Kaiming along as a formality to deal with his family. He didn't put much effort into solving this problem for his cousin. Even his uncle and aunt couldn't solve it, so why should he, as his cousin, worry about it?
Moreover, as a second-generation rich kid who only knew how to squander money every day, Shang Kaiming was not valued by his family. Most large families like this start with two children, and then the children have children again, the family population continues to increase, and competition becomes fiercer.
If he doesn't perform well and just eats, drinks and has fun, no one will care about him except his parents who are worried about him and hope he will make progress, and he will gradually be marginalized.
Zhao Yunbin and Ms. Li's only child, Zhao Shunian, is a unique case. Ms. Li dislikes children, and after giving birth to her son, she felt she had finally accomplished her mission. When others pressure her to have another child, she uses Zhao Shunian as a shield, claiming it's for his own good and that she respects his opinion, never revealing the real reason. Then, she uses the excuse of doing it for his own good and making many decisions and arrangements for him.
As Zhao Shunian grew older, his relationship with Ms. Li became more and more ordinary, and they did not get along like a normal mother and son. Zhao Yunbin often acted as a lubricant between them.

Night, living room.
Yu Yin poured herself a small glass of red wine. She had heard that drinking a glass of red wine before bed could help her sleep, but she had good sleep quality and did not need red wine to help her sleep. She just wanted to maintain her skin tone and fight oxidation.
She is particular about the time she drinks, between 8:30 and 9:30. If she drinks too late at night, it will put a heavy burden on her liver.
Zhao Shunian came to the living room in his pajamas to find Yu Yin.
When Yu Yin saw him coming, he took out a goblet and poured him a small glass of red wine.
Zhao Shunian sat next to Yu Yin. "I heard that Shang Kaiming came to see you today, but was treated coldly by you and left."
"Well, you came with your friend's brother. Mr. Zhao, I think you are not careful in choosing friends. It's ok if you have trouble yourself, but you also involve me. When others mention that matter in front of me, I remain calm and don't care, so they think I am pretending. If I show anger, they will say that I am petty and mean. You have to compensate me for my mental damages." Yu Yin placed the high-heeled glass of red wine in front of Zhao Shunian.
Zhao Shunian felt the timing of the scandal was ingenious, as it had just begun after he became chairman of the Liang Group, leaving everyone speculating and skeptical. The rumor was publicly debunked, but not within the small circle of people who knew him personally.
