Chapter 12: Betrayal

"I went on a date with my friend." Sang Ya said with a smile, "We didn't find a suitable violin, so we went shopping for a while."

Old Sang looked at Sang Ya without saying anything, as if he was judging the truthfulness of her words.

Sang Ya rubbed Grandpa's shoulders: "Grandpa, why are you still awake so late? Are you waiting for me?"

"I won't come back so late next time."

Sang Ya heard a sigh, but this time Old Sang did not let her get away with it: "Sit down, Grandpa has something to tell you."

Sang Ya's heart was beating fast. She tried hard to stay calm and sat obediently beside her grandfather.

"Tell me the truth, do you have someone you like?" Old Man Sang's eyes fell on his granddaughter.

Sang Ya said nervously: "I have an engagement with the Xie family, I won't do anything rash."

She blushed and added, "I...Brother Zhiyu is very good."

The granddaughter blushed, which made Mr. Sang think that she was shy. Despite this, he still warned her seriously: "Yaya, Xie Zhiyu is a responsible man. You will not be wronged if you marry him."

"The Xie family will be your support in the future."

This marriage was a move above their station for the Sang family, but for the sake of his granddaughter, Mr. Sang would never give in.

The Xie family has a very good family tradition. The Xie family's main family has a relatively simple population, unlike other wealthy families who have a large number of illegitimate sons and daughters, and various wealthy families fighting for power.

Xie Zhiyu himself is very outstanding, with top looks and abilities. After he completely took over the Xie family, Sang Ya became the true mistress of the Xie Group.

Marrying into the Xie family is the best choice for Sang Ya.

Her parents died early, and she grew up with them. She had everything she wanted and was a true little princess.

He hopes the little princess will be happy forever.

Sang Ya lowered her eyes and said softly, "The Sang family and Grandpa are both my support."

Mr. Sang: "Grandpa is old now. I don't know how long he can stay with Yaya."

He knew that only if he was alive, the Sang family would be Sang Ya's support, so in the limited time, he selfishly found a solid backer for his granddaughter, and he was very confident in Xie Zhiyu's character.

In addition to marriage, Mr. Sang also provided Sang Ya with several layers of "insurance".

He asked Sang Ya to intern at the company because he wanted her to be part of the core of the company. In addition, the marriage with the Xie family would help Sang Ya enter the core of power of the Sang family.

Mr. Sang intends to train mulberry buds. The little princess has endless treasures and must master her power to prevent those with ulterior motives from plundering her wealth.

This is equivalent to multiple insurances for Sang Ya, which shows how much love Mr. Sang has for his granddaughter.

Sang Ya doesn't quite understand the true meaning now, but she knows that her grandfather is doing this for her own good.

She now has an impulse to give up everything. She doesn't want to see her grandfather's disappointed eyes. When Gu Yeliang takes charge of the Gu family, her grandfather will surely appreciate her vision.

Instead of marrying someone she doesn't love, why not marry a man she loves and who loves her?

Wait another month, and she will confess everything to her grandfather.

Old Sang looked at Sang Ya's tender face, as if through her face he was missing his eldest son who died young.

The granddaughter and the eldest son have similar features, but their personalities and behaviors are completely different. A trace of sadness flashed across the old wise eyes. He touched Sang Ya's head lovingly and said, "It's late, go to bed."

"Don't be late for work tomorrow."

Sang Ya said coquettishly: "Grandpa, but I want to stay at home with you, how about taking a day off tomorrow?"

Mr. Sang: "Grandpa is always at home, waiting for you to get off work and accompany me."

"Be good, Yaya, work hard, listen more, watch more, ask more questions and learn more."

Sang Ya knew that she couldn't change Grandpa's decision: "Okay, then I'll bring you a gift after get off work."

There was a hint of smile in Mr. Sang's eyes: "Okay, Grandpa is looking forward to it."

"Do you have enough pocket money? I'll ask the housekeeper to transfer 500,000 pocket money to your account."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Sang Ya smiled happily, "Grandpa is the best."

She had her eyes on a bag for a long time, but unfortunately she never had enough pocket money.

Sang Ya sent Sang Lao back to his room. Before leaving, Sang Ya reminded him again: "Work hard. If you are wronged, go home and tell your grandfather."

"Grandpa will support you."

Sang Ya nodded heavily: "Okay, with Grandpa here, no one will let me suffer any injustice."

Sang Ya returned to the room, took out her phone and opened Xie Zhiyu's personal contact information, but she didn't have the courage to contact him until the screen went out.

The screen lit up and then went out, went out and lit up again, until Gu Yeliang sent a message: "Good night, Yaya."

Sang Ya fell into a deep sleep with a sweet smile on her lips.

Early the next morning, the alarm rang seven or eight times. Sang Ya struggled to get out of bed and hurried to the company. She called Xie Zhiyu several times, but no one answered.

"Are you so busy?" Sang Ya was puzzled and could only resort to calling Xie Zhiyu's assistant. This time, the call was quickly answered. After learning that Xie Zhiyu had a meeting, he directly made an appointment with his assistant for a meeting time and asked him to convey it on his behalf.

After hanging up the phone, Sang Ya was extremely glad of her decision. The phone calls and schedules of an engaged couple had to be handled through an assistant. Such a life was too terrible.

A workaholic like Xie Zhiyu is more suitable to spend her whole life with work. Fortunately, she chose Gu Yeliang, who would never miss her news no matter how busy he was and gave her positive emotional values.

***

Shen Baili's high school life was just as she had imagined, plain and quiet yet fulfilling.

After unlocking the latest chapter, she deliberately reminded Xie Zhiyu, and then did not see each other for the next week. It is said that she is busy with a big project recently, which has almost taken up most of her energy and time.

I go out early and come back late every day, work overtime on the project, and sometimes I even sleep in the company.

As the time was getting closer, Shen Baili looked at the private number on her mobile phone that she had never contacted before and pressed the dial button.

“Beep, beep, beep~”

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

When Shen Baili was about to hang up, the other party answered the phone. A deep and magnetic voice came through the current, a little hoarse and tired: "Sui Sui?"

Shen Baili's heart skipped a beat: "Brother, it's me."

"I...I want to ask you if you are going home today?" She struggled with her words.

Some things are better said in person, but how should she tell Xie Zhiyu?

She has no evidence, who would believe her?

Moreover, before yesterday, Shen Baili had never met Sang Ya. If she told it out loud, it would only cause alarm or make people think she had ulterior motives. However, letting it go would go against her rules of conduct.

Xie Zhiyu really helped them. When she suddenly had appendicitis, he accompanied Shen Wan to send her to the hospital. He took time to visit her in the hospital and made delicious millet porridge. He would occasionally bring desserts home after get off work...

Everything he did seemed small, but it actually helped them and brought them into the Xie family.

Every little thing is sincere.

Shen Baili could not ignore all this, and could not accept his kindness with peace of mind, but turned a blind eye to the crisis he was about to face.

"I...I have something I want to ask my brother for help." Shen Baili couldn't think of a suitable solution for a moment.

Xie Zhiyu was a little surprised. This was the first time Shen Baili sought help.

He took the initiative to explain: "I have to work overtime at the company tonight. Can I tell you on the phone?"

"If there's no hurry, I'll go home tomorrow."

Xie Zhiyu estimated the arrangements and the details of the project at hand have been basically finalized, so he can spare some time.

Shen Baili: "Don't worry, big brother, you go ahead and do your work first."

The assistant knocked on the door to remind them that it was time. Xie Zhiyu said a few words to Shen Baili and then went back to work.

Shen Baili hung up the phone and thought about how to remind the other party without leaving any trace.

The system, which had remained silent, suddenly said, "Host, you should focus your energy on obsession."

"They have nothing to do with you, do they?"

Shen Baili shrugged and said, "I have no regrets."

“I’ve been working on my obsession.”

She studies hard every day, racking her brains to think about what the other obsession is.

In addition to studying, what else does “she” want to have? Love?

But now she has the warmest love in the world, and her energy bar hasn't changed at all?

There has been no change for nearly two months, and it is so stable that the system almost thought it was broken again.

The system didn't understand, it just knew they had hit a bottleneck.

"Everything will work out. The midterm exam is coming up soon, and the energy bar will go up a bit."

The energy bar didn't move at all, and Shen Baili was very anxious. All she could do now was to make the most of what she had.

"Have you found your bug?" she suddenly remembered.

System: "I checked it five times and didn't find this bug."

"The program works fine, what went wrong?"

"Forget it. Things will work out when the time comes." The system said earnestly, imitating Shen Baili's tone.

Shen Baili: “…”

System: “Hehe~”

Ah Deng, it seems that you are becoming more and more humane.

**

The next day, as soon as Shen Baili got out of school, she saw Xie Zhiyu who had just returned.

"Brother." She said in surprise.

The girl was wearing a blue and white school uniform, with her long black hair tied into a high ponytail, and her whole body was filled with youthful energy.

Xie Zhiyu nodded: "I'm back."

"Sui Sui, come and sit down."

Shen Baili put down her schoolbag and sat stiffly opposite Xie Zhiyu.

"What difficulties have you encountered?" Xie Zhiyu looked at the girl opposite and asked patiently.

This is an excuse.

Shen Baili racked her brains: "I... I'm not very good at chemistry. Can I find a tutor?"

Xie Zhiyu felt a little strange. He hadn't experienced the feeling of being a parent in many years. "Of course."

"What are your requirements for a chemistry tutor?"

Shen Baili: "Strong professional knowledge, strong teaching ability, and... just these two points."

Xie Zhiyu: "Okay, I'll arrange it."

He didn't ask her why she sought his help instead of Shen Wan. It was a good thing that she was ambitious.

"Thank you, brother." Shen Baili thanked him.

The living room fell into silence. She asked tentatively, "Brother, you seem very tired recently. Are you too busy at work?"

Xie Zhiyu: “It’s very busy, but there is still time to solve problems.”

He checked the time and asked, "Do you have any homework?"

Shen Baili: "Ah? Yes."

…

In the study room, Shen Baili was sitting upright like an elementary school student, working on chemistry problems that made her eyes dizzy. Not far away, the cold-faced overbearing CEO Xie Zhiyu was reading a chemistry book very seriously.

I just can't figure out how things have gotten to this point.

Shen Baili's daze attracted Xie Zhiyu's attention: "Which question do you not know the answer to?"

Shen Baili pointed blankly at the exercise book. Xie Zhiyu thought for a few seconds and started to talk.

Shen Baili pinched her thigh to regain her distracted attention and listen attentively.

Xie Zhiyu's ideas are very clear, and his way of explaining the topic is easy to understand, which simplifies the complex problem in an instant.

Shen Baili was unconsciously fascinated by the lecture. Her learning state was like her Ren and Du meridians were opened.

Two more chemistry papers came up and she felt she was too good.

"Do you understand?" Xie Zhiyu finished another big question.

Shen Baili nodded: "I understand."

Xie Zhiyu took a sip of water and said, "You are very smart."

Her comprehension ability and learning attitude provided good feedback to Xie Zhiyu, the teacher. Unlike Xie Tingsi, who learned 800 small movements in five minutes.

Shen Baili smiled shyly: "Brother, do you have another question?"

She was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and couldn't extricate herself.

I never thought that chemistry would one day become so simple.

Time passed quietly, and Xie Zhiyu's tutoring class ended at 9:30. He had a deeper understanding of Shen Baili's chemistry foundation and formed a more concrete character portrait of his requirements for the tutor.

After tutoring Shen Baili in chemistry, Xie Zhiyu felt his tense nerves relaxed a lot.

"Go to bed early."

"The chemistry teacher will come next week at the latest." Xie Zhiyu gave a specific time.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, big brother." Shen Baili was very grateful to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Big brother, I have something for you."

Xie Zhiyu watched her take out a very thick book from her schoolbag. He took a closer look and saw that the title clearly read "Whustle and Bustle Heights".

"This is an epic work about love and hate, betrayal and revenge. Our Chinese teacher recommended it to me. I... I think it's pretty good, so... so... I want to share it with you, big brother."

Shen Baili emphasized the word betrayal. This was the method she came up with after racking her brains to use this book to remind Xie Zhiyu.

Xie Zhiyu raised his eyebrows: "Love and hate? And... betrayal?"
