The housing problem was easily solved in less than an hour. After moving into the new home, Meng Shen was still a little overwhelmed and couldn't help but feel envious.
The villa has two floors and three rooms, each with a large balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. It's about a five-minute walk to the left of the main gate of the community to the park, and a ten-minute walk to the right to Jiangnan University.
Two of the three bedrooms are upstairs, and one is downstairs. Although Meng Shen felt that the view and scenery upstairs were better, he didn't have the guts to compete with Tang Yue for it.
What a joke! Even if we're as close as brothers, do you think anyone can just sleep next door to Yu Wan?
By the time the moving company had copied and restored everything from the other villa, it was already night. Huang Renfeng and his group, having heard the news, insisted on throwing a housewarming party. A large group of them, carrying various gifts and food, arrived at the villa.
"The environment here is really nice, I'd like to rent a place nearby too."
"I think so too, that way we can go crazy together again without having to go home and get beaten up, and we can do whatever we want."
"How about we rent it together?"
...
The group discussed animatedly, each offering their own opinion, before all turning to look at Yu Wan in unison. Perhaps it was because they had spent so much time together that they felt closer to her, and thus became much bolder. A year ago, who would have dared to act recklessly towards her?
"Why are you looking at me? You can do whatever you want." Yu Wan picked up a piece of shrimp with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her expression showing no displeasure whatsoever.
Huang Renfeng took a sip of beer, suppressing his excitement, and cautiously asked, "You mean..."
“Living closer is more convenient.” Meng Shen peeled shrimp while encouraging the group of playboys: “You all need to work hard in the upcoming competition. Maybe you can impress your brothers and sisters back home.”
“That’s right. Damn it, it’s time to get back at him for being trampled on by my older brother for over a decade.”
"Sister Yu, just give me your orders. As long as it's something I can do, I won't shirk my responsibility."
"Well done, Zhang Chao. You're usually so quiet, but when it comes to the crucial moment, you're the first to flatter me. You're quite the hidden talent."
"No, no, it's all thanks to the brothers making us look good..."
The atmosphere became lively again, and the usually arrogant spoiled brats were all beaming with enthusiasm and high hopes for the future.
However, at that moment...
"Sister Yu, there's something I've always wanted to ask you." Cao Jin gripped his sleeve tightly, mustered his courage, and looked at Yu Wan. When he finally asked, his voice trembled.
The entire venue fell into a sudden, deathly silence.
Huang Renfeng frowned unhappily, tugged at Cao Jin's sleeve, and tried to smooth things over, saying, "You're eating, drinking, and sleeping well, what could possibly happen? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"This is very important to me." Cao Jin pulled his hand away, downed a can of beer in one gulp, and asked bluntly, fueled by the alcohol, "Sister Yu, did you do what happened to Lily?"
Yu Wan put down her chopsticks, leaned back against the chair, crossed her hands in front of her lower abdomen, and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Cao Jin's anger burst forth: "Why?" His entire body tensed, like an enraged cheetah.
Yu Wan didn't care at all, and said in a light tone: "She coveted my person."
Although she didn't explicitly say who it was, everyone immediately thought of Tang Yue. No wonder Lily was sent away after that night and later blacklisted; it was because she wanted to sleep with Tang Yue?
Tang Yue and Yu Wan are both formidable figures, and this guy is practically courting death.
"Is there some misunderstanding?" Cao Jin's heart was in turmoil for a moment, but when he thought of Lily's tearful complaints on the phone, he clenched his fists firmly and continued to question her: "Even if she made a mistake in a moment of weakness, it's enough to teach her a lesson. There's no need to push her to the brink, is there?"
Yu Wan's lips curled into a mocking smile as she leaned forward. "Cao Jin, you've been with me for so long, do you think I'm a good person?"
Those eyes were dark and menacing, making Cao Jin's scalp tingle.
“Since she had the guts to do it, she should bear the corresponding responsibility.” Yu Wan tilted her head slightly: “Also, which piece of information I released to the media wasn’t true?”
"But she's a celebrity, unlike you who have the Yu Group as your backing. What you're doing is tantamount to cutting off her future. Besides, Tang Yue is fine, so why can't you just let her go?"
The atmosphere instantly plummeted after those words were spoken, leaving even Huang Renfeng and the others seething with anger. It seems that both men and women, blinded by love, are prone to making foolish mistakes. What kind of spell did Lily cast on Cao Jin?
Yu Wan's lips curled up even higher: "There's nothing we can do. Old Man Yu is quite capable. He became the richest man in Jiangcheng in just ten years. If you really want to avenge Lily, either you make your father work harder, or you take down the Yu Group yourself."
She stood up and looked down at him condescendingly: "I'm always ready to oblige."
The housewarming party ended unhappily.
Once outside, Cao Jin noticed that Huang Renfeng and the others were far away from him, and a sense of resentment towards Yu Wan arose in his heart.
He picked up his phone and called Lily, saying indignantly, "Don't worry, I will definitely get justice for you."
On the other side.
After hanging up the phone, the beautiful woman muttered a mocking "idiot" to herself. She turned around, gazing at the handsome, tall man on the bed with infatuation in her eyes, and said softly, "I've done as you instructed, Second Young Master. Does your promise still stand?"
-
Inside the villa, after everyone had left, Yu Wan called Huang Renfeng: "Check who Cao Jin and Lili have been in contact with recently. Also, keep an eye on the situation of the brothers around you."
"you mean……"
"Someone is planning to use Cao Jin against me."
"Okay, I know what to do."
Meng Shen crumpled the beer can in his hand and slumped on the sofa, somewhat annoyed: "Why does Cao Jin still think about Lily even though he knows what kind of person she is?"
"That was his choice," Yu Wan replied, her tone still indifferent.
“But we’ve been brothers for years, after all. Is it really true that there are no good friends in this industry?” After a pause, Meng Shen tilted his head and laughed: “No, I still have you.”
Yu Wan stared at him for a long while.
Just as I was about to say something, the other person closed their eyelids and fell asleep.
She sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She went upstairs to get a blanket and covered him with it. She turned off the light and went upstairs, but after a few steps, she suddenly stopped.
Someone's there!
Yu Wan cautiously surveyed her surroundings, pausing her footsteps.
The wind whistled in through the French windows, making the curtains flutter loudly.
Just then, she keenly sensed something attacking from behind, clenched her fist, and whirled around to smash it.
With a soft "thump," the fist landed in a warm, broad palm.
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment.
Then she fell into a familiar embrace, and a solemn yet gentle kiss landed on the crown of her head.
"Wanwan, I miss you..."
