Chapter 147 "We'll get married after you graduate."
He Jinzhao paused for a moment, then gently patted the back of her head, saying softly with a mix of helplessness and affection, "What are you thanking me for? Are you silly?"
"Baby, I want to talk to you about something."
Song Shiyi looked up, her fair face clean and beautiful, so tender and adorable.
He Jinzhao glanced at it and couldn't help but lower his head.
He kissed the corner of her lips and pleaded, "How about we get engaged this time next year?"
"We'll get married after you graduate."
"Are you... willing?"
He looked somewhat uneasy, cautiously observing her.
Song Shiyi was stunned, not expecting He Jinzhao to suddenly bring this up.
She was completely unprepared and had no time to think about it.
However, her subconscious thoughts represent her true inner thoughts.
so--
She slowly smiled, nodded gently, her eyes clear and bright, and agreed.
"OK."
"I do."
The wind carried a chilly breeze, swirling up the withered leaves of the sycamore trees along the roadside, which rustled down to their feet.
The afternoon sunlight was thin and warm, filtering through the sparse branches and scattering like gold dust on Song Shiyi's hair and onto He Jinzhao's trembling fingertips.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with undisguised smiles.
Perhaps the red thread of fate was already tied around her wrist back then.
Song Shiyi couldn't recall those painful memories.
But Shen Yanci is right about one thing.
The sun was shining brightly that day.
And today is no exception.
——
I heard that shortly after Song Shiyi left that day, Shen Yanci had already confessed his guilt.
Not only were they very cooperative, but they also revealed the members of the slutty organizations he was involved with.
With the help of the He and Song families, no one was willing to act as their protector, making the arrests go smoothly.
The Shen couple also came to Song Shiyi that day, wanting to plead for Shen Yanci.
But before they could even enter the house, Song's father had them thrown out.
The relationship between the two families has come to an end.
He's already being very lenient with the Shen family by not causing them any trouble in the business world.
The Shen couple probably felt ashamed and never came back.
Life gradually returned to normal.
Time flies when I'm with He Jinzhao.
In the blink of an eye, Song Shiyi is already a sophomore.
That year, her relationship with He Jinzhao grew stronger.
The couple's sweet moments could be seen everywhere on campus, and the students were so overwhelmed by their sweetness that they all joined the ranks of those shipping them.
The fact that Shen Yan resigned from school and went to jail did indeed cause a huge uproar at the school.
Many people found it hard to believe, and many others were disgusted by it. The real reason why Ji Siyu broke up with him has also come to light.
Everyone started to feel sorry for the beautiful woman who had encountered such a scumbag.
But interest comes and goes quickly, and before long, no one was talking about it anymore.
Another autumn has arrived.
Song Shiyi's twentieth birthday is coming soon.
He Jinzhao had already discussed the engagement with the Song family couple early on.
They had no objections, as long as their daughter was happy and willing.
He Jinzhao's parents had no objection to this.
Having objections is useless.
They weren't close to the child to begin with, and they didn't have much contact with him on a regular basis. Since he started dating, he's only been home a handful of times.
They had met and knew the Song family's daughter; she was from a good family, had an excellent appearance, a gentle personality, and graceful manners—a truly good girl.
Their relationship deteriorated after that marriage.
But they were still his parents after all, and He Jinzhao couldn't completely harden his heart, so he sent them the engagement banquet invitations.
Come if you want, otherwise just pretend I never sent it.
After learning that Song Shiyi was really going to become her sister-in-law, He Zhao muttered a few words casually, and then happily chose a dress to attend their engagement party.
Their friends were happy for them when they heard the news.
Si Yue jokingly added, "Yi Yi, why get engaged so early? It's not too late for us to go on vacation for a few years after graduation before thinking about important life events."
He Jinzhao clicked her tongue, glanced at the person standing next to her, and said disdainfully, "Are you even capable?"
"It's been so long, and you still haven't won her over?"
Xie Lin retorted calmly, "I can't compare to you. I've only been here for less than a year."
He smiled slightly: "Is that so, Mr. He?"
He Jinzhao: "..."
"...Okay, you can shut up now."
Si Yue and Song Shiyi covered their mouths and chuckled to themselves. These two were always bickering and arguing, and every day was different.
That's really interesting.
Seeing this, Song Shiyi asked Si Yue about her thoughts: "Didn't you say at the beginning that you wanted to pursue him and then dump him ruthlessly?"
"Why are you backing down now that he's pursuing you?"
Si Yue coughed lightly twice and muttered softly, "I was just joking, I never thought he would actually do it for real."
"I don't want to be a scumbag who deceives people's feelings."
She did have this idea initially, but after what happened with Shen Yanci, she gave up on it.
Later, she stopped being so attentive to Xie Lin, but unexpectedly, their positions began to reverse, and Xie Lin came to see her every day, sticking to her side.
The school now considers them a couple.
It made her extremely upset.
Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes relaxed and that she unconsciously smiled when Xie Lin was mentioned, Song Shiyi understood.
"So what do you think?"
"I can tell you like him."
Si Yue did not deny it.
If she didn't like Xie Lin, she wouldn't allow him to hang around in front of her.
She was originally planning to agree to his proposal, but he made her angry a couple of days ago.
Thinking of this, she snorted, "Let him chase after it a little longer."
Song Shiyi smiled faintly and said deliberately, "He's graduated now, aren't you worried?"
Si Yue realized that the argument was because she saw a girl behaving intimately with Xie Lin and chatting happily.
She couldn't help but feel concerned and wronged, but she didn't want to ask directly, lest she seem petty.
But if she didn't ask, she would feel uncomfortable keeping it to herself.
She knew that Xie Lin would inherit the company after graduation, and someone of his status would inevitably have to socialize and deal with people.
But she was just not happy!
She forced herself not to care, but Song Shiyi's words today brought it all back to mind.
She said sullenly, "What does it have to do with me who he likes? He's not the only man in the world."
Song Shiyi smiled helplessly. It seemed she still had to talk to Xie Lin.
Ji Siyu has already graduated. I heard she recently filmed a short drama, which is quite popular, and she's doing very well.
They would occasionally get together.
With He Jinzhao's help, Shi Qiurou successfully took control of the Shi family and, as promised, transferred 20% of the shares to his name.
However, He Jinzhao stopped him.
She raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What? Mr. He doesn't want these shares anymore?"
Are you suggesting we raise the price?
If that's the case, she wouldn't disagree.
I just won't have any business dealings with him anymore.
The He family is indeed a desirable family, but their character is questionable, so she doesn't want them.
He Jinzhao seemed to know what she was thinking. He glanced at her with a half-smile and said casually, "Just do it the way it was originally decided. I just want you to change your name."
Shi Qiurou was taken aback.
"Change it to Song Shiyi."
