"No." Her answer remained as firm as ever.
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, then continued to speak sarcastically: "...How could you fall in love with someone else so quickly? You're too casual about relationships, aren't you?"
“I haven’t fallen for someone else.” Tang Yue reached out and tidied her disheveled hair, then smiled. “I’m not a casual person at all. If I like someone, I want to marry her so that other men won’t have their eyes on her.”
Hearing this, Yu Wan was furious. She slapped his hand away and angrily used polite language: "You're already so eager to get engaged to her, and you still say you have no feelings for her?"
Tang Yue: "..." How could I have forgotten about this?
He felt a stifling sense of having shot himself in the foot, yet he truly couldn't reveal the truth. He already sensed that if Yu Wan knew the truth now, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life.
Tang Yue truly regretted it.
All his flawless plans were ruled out after he met Yu Wan. Before meeting her, he had never thought about marriage, which is why he casually found a fiancée.
"You're not going to say you have your reasons, are you?" Yu Wan looked at him with disdain. It's almost 2020, who are you trying to fool with this scumbag talk?
Tang Yue's mouth was full of bitterness, and he chuckled, "Wanwan, you're really smart."
"..."
Yu Wan smiled slightly.
All I can say is: Hehe.
Seeing that she was about to explode, Tang Yue quickly pulled her into his arms and explained in a low voice, "Our marriage is a business arrangement, it's all about business, there's absolutely no romantic entanglement between us. To be precise, we've been engaged for three weeks, we haven't had time to do anything, not even a ceremony, it's just a verbal agreement between the two families."
Hearing him say that, Yu Wan's anger subsided considerably.
Children in wealthy families can be used as bargaining chips, let alone a marriage between two conglomerates.
but……
Yu Wan asked doubtfully, "The Ji family and the Tang family have different businesses, why do they need a marriage alliance? Although the Ji family is an established entertainment company, in recent years its artists have been embroiled in numerous scandals, affecting its independently produced film and television works. Its development prospects are even worse than other emerging companies. It would be better to cooperate with your second uncle, at least he has a rapidly growing online streaming platform under his control..."
She suddenly felt a little sorry for Tang Yue. Perhaps it was because Tang Zhanhang had tricked her that she finally saw his true colors.
A bitter smile appeared on Tang Yue's face at the opportune moment, his heart filled with both pride and admiration. Wanwan was truly sharp and intelligent, hitting the nail on the head. Back then, in order to lure him in, Tang Zhanhang had collaborated with the Ji family to come up with a plan to enter the entertainment IP industry, and had gone so far as to entice him to invest manpower and financial resources in development, ultimately becoming one of the links in the Tang family's broken capital chain.
He turned the tables on them, secretly sending people to track down the whereabouts of the funds. His efforts paid off; after the Tang family's bankruptcy, those companies had recently transferred large sums of money to a shell company in Beijing called Jinmei Technology. Unfortunately, the trail went cold there.
Tang Yue said, "We'll tell you about the rest when we get home. My second uncle is still waiting in the private room."
"...Who says you're 'us'?" Yu Wan glared at him, dissatisfied. "Besides, that's my home, it has nothing to do with you."
Tang Yue's gaze was brooding: "You're going to deny it after you've already eaten it?" He took out his phone and unlocked it as he said, "I'm going to call my father-in-law and ask him if he can get justice for me."
"..."
Yu Wan's ears began to burn, and she snatched his phone, stuffing it into her pocket.
How could this person... this person have become so shameless!
Tang Yue lowered his eyelids: "I really lost out that night. Your group of friends forced me into a hotel, and then you... under the influence of alcohol, made me go from my first time to my third time."
Yu Wan: "..." She hadn't even complained yet, and he was already turning the tables on her!
Think about the aftereffects of that night...
She hasn't even said that his skills are terrible yet!
"I didn't sleep well all night, but thankfully it got light later." Tang Yue rubbed his lower back.
Yu Wan: "!!!" Holy crap... What does this mean?
Just then, an ambiguous video suddenly popped into my mind, and the screen was flooded with "666" comments from the Peace ship.
"..."
Her face turned bright red.
Yu Wan was furious: "System Rule 33: The system shall not observe the host's emotional life."
【I didn't.】The Mirna argued: 【What I saw was only the recap; the rest was a complete black screen for a full five hours.】
Yu Wan's forehead veins throbbed, and she immediately clicked the report button.
【……I was wrong. 】
The Peace ship stared at the message on the screen: "Due to violating the rules for minors by viewing inappropriate information, the system will conduct 300 hours of education on the core socialist values," and fell into a state of self-isolation.
I felt refreshed that evening.
-
"Xiao Yue."
Tang Zhanhang waited impatiently for a long time, a full ten minutes passed, but Tang Yue still hadn't returned. He was on pins and needles in his seat. He was worried that Tang Yue had run away and that it would be impossible to meet him again next time, so he hurriedly ran out of the private room to look for him.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Tang Yue standing at the other end of the corridor, and the woman beside him…
...It's Yu Wan!
Tang Zhanhang's pupils contracted for a moment, a hint of resentment and bitterness betraying his inner turmoil. He couldn't believe his nephew was so lucky; he'd just gone bankrupt and already hooked up with the only daughter of the Yu Group.
He clenched his fists, a cold smile creeping onto his face as he thought of the news his youngest son had brought home yesterday. Instead of finding a way to win over Yu Wan and marry her, Tang Yue was also hooking up with a female student from a modest background. He'd heard that this young lady from the Yu family was eccentric and intolerant of injustice; she was sure to create a rift between them.
While calculating his plans, Tang Zhanhang walked up to them and asked with a smile, "Xiao Yue, is this your friend? Why don't you come in and have a meal together?"
Although the Yu family had long since broken into the ranks of first-class aristocratic families, Yu Wan rarely appeared at banquets. In addition, since the two had never met before, Tang Zhanhang deliberately pretended not to know Yu Wan.
Tang Yue straightened up, his voice cool and indifferent: "Second Uncle, this is Miss Yu."
He deliberately emphasized the word "just," his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Tang Zhanhang's face stiffened for a moment, but Tang Yue had a gentle smile on his face, and there was not a single fault in his words. He could only endure the discomfort.
"Miss Yu, hello." Tang Zhanhang's eyes widened slightly in surprise, then his eyebrows curved into a smile, adopting the demeanor of a kind and approachable elder, as he made his own attempt to get closer to her: "You and Xiaoyue are friends, so I'll call you Wanwan from now on. Wanwan, have you had lunch yet? Would you like to join us?"
Yu Wan: "..."
Tang Yue: "..."
The two frowned as they listened, clearly shocked by Tang Zhanhang's shamelessness.
