Chapter 66 I'm going to praise you
Zhao Shunian turned slightly to face Yu Yin, his eyes fixed on her face. After a moment, he said, "Now I know."
"I put a lot of thought into this makeup. It's called the Water Lotus Makeup."
"The makeup is nice, clean and refreshing without being coquettish."
Seeing Zhao Shunian praising her, Yu Yin gave him a compliment in return. "Yesterday, your mother was the most popular person in the entire salon. I rarely see her so happy. Do you know why?"
"Know."
"I'm going to praise you, you should cooperate with me."
Suddenly, Zhao Shunian smiled as light as the breeze, his eyes unable to conceal the doting look, "I don't know, can you tell me why?"
Yu Yin's face also broke into a smile. "It's because of you. Everyone praises you for your ability and foresight. I remember some people saying you were short-sighted before, not even realizing you were being used as a pawn. You were stupid and mean. But now they've changed their tune, and your reputation has reversed."
"Outsiders are always changing their attitudes according to the wind. Don't pay attention to what they say. You don't need to care too much about what others say about you or me. You need to look at my actual actions."
"I know." Yu Yin started eating pasta.
Yu Yin understood that Zhao Shunian was referring to the rumors about their impending divorce, and he told her not to believe them. He didn't like verbal promises; he felt they were empty and not as real as actual actions.
………
In the central lobby on the first floor, Zhao Yunyi looked towards the elevator from time to time, occasionally looking down at her watch. She curled her lips and said, "Why hasn't Yu Yin come down yet?"
Companies with market capitalizations of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars were beaten like drowned dogs in the early morning, and negative news continued to come out today. It is foreseeable that there will be another big drop when the market opens tonight. Those who bought the bottom last night are likely to lose everything.
Zhao Yunyi obviously wanted to get information from Yu Yin, but she had no hope of getting any information from Ms. Li. However, she didn't dare go up to the third floor to look for Yu Yin because Zhao Shunian was there.
She felt that he was very overbearing and did not allow others to go to the third floor at will. He would not even give face to her, his aunt.
"Shunian has also returned, but he still didn't come downstairs. The couple haven't seen each other for almost a month, so it's normal for him to want to spend some time alone together. Just ignore things that you shouldn't care about." After Ms. Jian pricked Zhao Yunyi's eye, she picked up the red teacup and drank her tea calmly.
Zhao Yunyi was choked and did not refute it. After being punished by Ms. Jane countless times in the past, she became a little afraid of Ms. Jane.
More than 20 years ago, Zhao Yunyi had not yet married and moved into the old house with Mrs. Zhou. She was used to being spoiled by her parents. When she met Ms. Jian, it was like a thorn in the flesh. They fought fiercely, and in the end she was defeated and left a bad impression on Zhao Xinzhi.
Ms. Jian took advantage of her upper hand and completely beat Zhao Yunyi down. She was angry at the time, and Zhao Yunyi was just looking for trouble.
Mrs. Zhou tried to make amends for Zhao Yunyi, saying with a smile, "Yunyi just hasn't seen Yu Yin for a while and wants to catch up with her, so she's acting a little anxious. They want to spend their time alone together, so we definitely won't disturb them."
However, Zhao Yunyi did not appreciate Mrs. Zhou's kindness. After Zhao Xinzhi had a bad impression of her, he thought everything about her was wrong. Mrs. Zhou had endured humiliation for many years, and was later surpassed by Mrs. Lian. She was extremely dissatisfied with this, so whatever Mrs. Zhou did was not to her liking.
Zhao Yunyi stood up angrily and was about to leave. Her second daughter, Lin Xueer, brought her mother a cup of black tea, hoping that she would not be angry.
When the two of them bumped into each other, the cup of red tea fell to the ground, Zhao Yunyi's clothes were splashed with some water, and Lin Xueer's hand was also splashed with red tea. Fortunately, the temperature of the cup of black tea was not very high.
Zhao Yunyi found a punching bag and scolded Lin Xueer. Lin Xueer felt so wronged that she cried and told her that she didn't mean it.
Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for her granddaughter and tried to speak up for Lin Xueer, but the mother and daughter immediately started arguing.
Although there are many people living in the old house, Mrs. Zhou feels increasingly lonely. Her daughter and son-in-law do not pay attention to Lin Xueer, so she wants to bring Lin Xueer to live with her.
Lin Xueer only came here to live permanently in March this year. She is well-behaved and sensible. She looks similar to Zhao Yunyi when she was a child, which makes Mrs. Zhou feel that she has raised a daughter with a different personality. She likes her very much, and she even likes her more than Zhao Yunyi.
When the servants saw them quarreling, they didn't dare to step forward to deal with it, for fear of being implicated.
Ms. Li placed the black teacup back on the saucer, and the two pieces of porcelain collided, making a crisp sound.
Instantly, the arguing and crying stopped, and Ms. Li slowly spoke, "You should teach your daughter behind closed doors and go back home. Don't embarrass yourself in front of me. Yunyi, seeing you like this, Dad might be disappointed in you. Things that are far away smell good, but things that are close stink. If you come back less often, Dad will remember your good old days and forget what you're like now."
Ms. Jian interjected, "Dad can't remember, Yunyi looks very different now. I can't even remember what Yunyi looked like before." She was implying that Zhao Yunyi had plastic surgery and made herself look nothing like herself.
Zhao Yunyi was extremely angry. She was getting angrier and angrier, and felt humiliated. She could only glare at Ms. Jian and leave the East Building in her high heels.
Mrs. Zhou held Lin Xueer's hand and comforted her, and they left.
Ms. Jane and Ms. Li stared at each other. Since there was no one else around, they had nothing to talk about. After a while, Ms. Jane also left.
………
After lunch, Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian went to the library on the fourth floor and sat together to read their favorite books. They would discuss in low voices what they liked in the books, and they sat closer and closer, their shoulders touching.
Zhao Shunian wanted to read a book to calm his mind, and with Yu Yin by his side, he felt a little more relaxed physically and mentally.
If he hadn't stayed up late and hadn't slept all night, he would have chosen to play a fierce game of tennis to release himself if he was not worried that strenuous exercise in this situation would cause sudden death.
When Zhao Shunian was doing something, his brain was like a wound-up spring. He was calm and rational, and handled and arranged various matters in an orderly manner. Only after the matter was over did his body react. He was under tremendous pressure. Part of the pressure had to be overcome by himself, and the other part required external intervention.
Zhao Xinzhi and Zhao Yunbin knew that he had been busy last night and needed to rest and adjust today, so they didn't look for him.
Three years ago, Zhao Shunian knew that Zhao Xinzhi was determined to acquire the Liang Group. Due to Liang Lisheng's wrong decision, the Liang Group was trapped in Nancheng, and Liang Lisheng had something to ask of the Zhao family.
This gave Zhao Xinzhi an opportunity, and he arranged for Zhao Shunian and Liang Yilin to get married, making his plan foolproof.
Zhao Shunian was also very interested in the Liang Group. From then on, he was determined to take over the Liang Group in one step to increase his bargaining chips. He felt that his gains and losses were too dependent on Zhao Xinzhi, and he was constrained everywhere. He didn't want to live like this anymore.
He simply added fuel to the fire of the South City project. The Liang Group was about to fall completely, but after his intervention, it was left hanging in the air, making people even more frightened.
