"Let's talk."
The person knocking on the car window was Ying Lun.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Shi Yan's face, but he still got out of the car and stood beside it while the two talked.
"Why did you show up? Do you know what's going on? My sister is already suffocating."
Ying Lun asked in a questioning tone.
Shi Yan's pupils trembled, "Ying Kexin, are you feeling suffocated by the pressure?"
"This is none of your business." Ying Lun shouted angrily, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. "Don't come here again. This path was chosen by Ying Kexin herself."
Shi Yan knew what the conversation would be about, so what Ying Lun said was within his expectations.
He said in a calm tone: "Let's put it this way, that's not Kexin's choice. Chang'an doesn't love Ying Kexin."
“…”
"They won't be happy."
"What about you? Are you in love with our Kexin? Do you think your family would accept someone who is engaged to Changan being with you? Are you the kind of person who can bring happiness to Ying Kexin?"
“…”
Shi Yan was unable to answer Ying Lun's question for a moment.
Bad encounter.
Let’s sleep together when we first meet.
Shi Yan has always been playing around and has never been sincere with her, so he really cannot guarantee that he can make Ying Kexin happy.
Ying Kexin was just one of the many women he had met, but she was different. He had never experienced her before, so he didn't know how to answer.
Ying Lun remained silent and didn't know how to answer, which made him even angrier.
"You can't give Ying Kexin happiness. It's a done deal. Don't waste your time. Get lost."
He brushed past Shi Yan's shoulder, knocking him back a step.
When he came to his senses, Ying Lun had already walked past him.
"I'm betting everything I have."
Shi Yan shouted anxiously.
Ying Lun stopped and turned slowly.
"All of it? Are you leaving Nanhu? Or are you fleeing to a place even farther away? Shi Yan, stop struggling. Just continue being the playboy you are and stop bothering Ying Kexin."
Indeed, Shi Yan did not appear again in the next few days.
Ying Kexin and her mother sat at the table to eat, just the two of them. After careful consideration, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and sat upright with her hands on the table like a well-behaved child.
"Mom, I want to postpone the engagement ceremony."
These were the words Ying Kexin said after struggling for a long time.
"What?"
"that……"
No one knows how difficult it was for Ying Kexin to say this.
The mother slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table to express her anger.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been troubled for a long time." He clenched his hands tightly on the table, lowered his head, and his voice became increasingly quiet. "I still need some time to think..."
"You have pre-marital anxiety."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by his mother.
"Most brides-to-be experience this type of symptom. You and Chang'an have an appointment later. A good chat will help with your wedding." Mother slowly stood up, wanting to leave but unable to hold back, saying, "You know Dad has high expectations of you. You're finally being put to use. Stop dwelling on useless things. Prepare well and avoid unnecessary trouble."
"I know, Mom."
Seeing her mother turn and leave after saying this, Ying Kexin quickly stood up and responded.
I didn't notice and knocked over the water glass on the table.
“Bang!”
The cup fell to the ground with a loud noise.
At that moment, it felt like a string in my heart suddenly broke.
She squatted down in panic to pick up the glass fragments on the ground. Maybe it was because of her anxiety, but the glass shards pierced her finger and she reflexively retracted her hand in pain.
"Just let Auntie handle this kind of thing."
"Um."
Ying Kexin responded, but didn't stand up and just squatted down.
She looked at the blood oozing from her fingers and didn't feel any pain anymore.
Just like my mother said, treat it as pre-marital anxiety.
I can't let my dad down.
As an illegitimate daughter, this is the only thing I can do.
Inside the car.
Shi Yan held his chin with one hand and looked out the window.
"Grandpa's birthday party is over, and I don't have anything else to do. Why aren't you letting me leave? What does the art museum branch's business have to do with me? Why do you want me to go this time?"
The words he spoke revealed impatience.
Changping sat next to him, looking at the documents, and said slowly, "So you use your extra time to look around at other people's doorsteps."
"Tsk! Who complained to you?"
Chang Ping put away the documents in his hand and said, "Shi Yan, cheer up. You are the eldest brother, so act like one."
"You and I haven't had a very good relationship since we were young. It's not your turn to educate me."
really.
They had never gotten along when they were young, but after learning that Shi Yan was beaten by Shi Ran, the twins liked Shi Ran very much. After all, Shi Ran was the only child in the family who could beat Shi Yan.
Their relationship had been bad since childhood, but after Shi Yan's family left Nanhu, their relationship eased.
"I'll hand over the tasks assigned by the head of the family. We need to prepare for this bidding, as well as manage e-commerce. Oh, and there's one more thing: the board meeting at the beginning of the year."
"What?"
Shi Yan looked at Chang Ping with his mouth open.
Changping continued, "And don't forget about the art museum branch you mentioned earlier. It's about to be completed soon, so why not go and visit it first?"
He sighed, his brow furrowed, his eyes locked, and he shook his head.
"To keep me from being distracted, if you've gone this far, you might as well just tie me up."
Was this Shi Ran's idea or Grandpa's?
Shi Yan guessed that it was Shi Ran's bad idea.
It would be better to just kick him out of Nanhu like we did before, so we don’t have to arrange so much work for him.
"Shi Ran told me to do that. Why don't you go and tell her?"
"Forget it, that damn girl is more cruel than any of you."
"Are you afraid of Shi Ran or Song Sichen?"
"Is there any difference between them?"
The biggest difference is that Song Sichen is more ruthless than Shi Ran.
Chang Ping thought for a moment and said, "Shi Ran, that's great."
"Shut up!"
Shi Yan couldn't bear to listen any longer and looked out the window.
On a business trip to the branch of the art museum.
"It's just reaching the finishing stage, and it's not completely done yet, so it's a bit chaotic."
I couldn't listen to what the manager said at all.
He is not fit for work in his current state.
During this busy period, Shi Yan felt that Ying Kexin was getting further and further away. The world without her seemed meaningless. He put all himself into work, as if this would make him think less about Ying Kexin.
"Master Shi, get out of the way!"
Suddenly someone shouted.
