Chapter 206 New Life
Two years later.
Karikari Peninsula, New Zealand.
The average summer temperature was 25 degrees Celsius, but the sun wasn't scorching. The breeze, tinged with the salty, damp air of the sea, felt incredibly comfortable. Shi Yin wore a halterneck, long, muslin-like dress, her fair, slender arms exposed to the air. Up close, you could see the scars on her arms, only a few faint lines remaining.
She squatted on the soft white sand.
I picked up a tiny hermit crab that was swept up by the waves, looked at its slender but powerful legs, and then, imitating the child not far away, dug a sand pit and buried it in it.
At that time.
Next to the fine coral rocks more than ten meters away.
Han Zhan stared at his wife's pretty figure. The phone in his pocket rang for a long time before he came back to his senses. He answered the call from Beijing. Lu Cheng on the other end said, "Are you accompanying Shi Yin again?"
He has been abroad for two years.
During this period, I only went back twice, on the anniversary of Mr. Han's death.
The month after he went abroad, Shine Group jointly released information with Shi Group, disclosing to the public the shareholding and marital status of Shi Group's new president, Shi Yin. The column for "husband" listed him as Shine's CEO, Shi En.
That day, the whole Beijing area was in an uproar.
There was a lot of discussion.
No one expected that the second young master of the Han family, who once had a bad record, would suddenly stand at the top of the pyramid and become the new upstart of the capital, the decision-maker of the Shine Group, who was treated with respect by everyone.
All major media outlets were scrambling to interview him, but they only got the news that he had gone abroad.
Return date uncertain.
No one knows where he is.
Lu Cheng had been able to contact him easily at first. When he first took over Shine Group's Beijing operations, he was unfamiliar with the situation and needed his help with many things, so he often turned to him for help. He would even call him in to sit in on high-level meetings and offer online guidance.
About a year.
Lu Cheng was able to handle various matters properly, so Han Zhan appeared less frequently. In the past six months, Han Zhan seemed to have disappeared. Not only did the major global media, but even his good brother Lu Cheng had to work hard to find him.
Lu Cheng made this call for several days.
It finally worked today.
"The president is being re-elected this year and is hosting a dinner at the end of the month. He must have sent you an invitation, right?" Lu Cheng asked.
"received."
"Are you planning to return to the capital?"
"Yes." Han Zhan said.
In a few days it will be the anniversary of Grandpa Han's death. Ever since Han Zhan could remember, he and Uncle Han would go to pay their respects to the old man every year. It has become a habit, and even if he goes abroad, he will go there.
Lu Cheng paused for a few seconds and asked tentatively, "I met Doctor Rong some time ago, and he said Shi Yin has almost recovered."
"Um."
"Are you going back to Beijing with her this time?"
"Let's take another look."
"Tell me ahead of time when you come back, and I'll pick you up at the airport. I've been so lonely these past two years when you weren't in Beijing."
"Find a girlfriend." Han Zhan suggested.
"I can't afford to bother with that." Lu Cheng immediately interrupted the topic.
The tone immediately turned colder.
Show displeasure.
Around the beginning of this year, Meng Xi got married. Knowing that Shi Yin was recovering from illness and couldn't return to Beijing, the thoughtful Meng Xi planned the wedding in Queenstown, New Zealand. He and Shi Yin were invited to attend as guests of honor on the bride's side.
Not many people attended the banquet.
They are all mysterious and low-key bigwigs and seniors in the circle.
Han Zhan and Shi Yin arrived at the private manor and saw Meng Xi, who was wearing exquisite makeup and a white wedding dress, and also saw the gentle and indifferent head of the Lu family, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
No one expected that Meng Xi would be with Lu Siyu.
And got married.
It was such a grand wedding.
Lu Cheng's flight was delayed that day, and even after the ceremony, he hadn't arrived at the manor. Late at night, after the guests had dispersed, Han Zhan finally saw him arrive late.
The object of my secret crush became my stepmother.
He was depressed for a long time.
He also had a falling out with Lu Siyu and never stepped into the Lu residence again.
"I have a meeting at the company, so I'll go get busy first." Lu Cheng spoke again, and then said, "Be sure to contact me before you return to the capital. I'll welcome you back."
"Okay." Han Zhan replied.
End the call.
Han Zhan put his phone back in his pocket.
He cast his gaze once again towards Shi Yin, who was walking on the waves not far away on the beach, and walked towards her. Chen Tong was an experienced doctor. In order to keep the wealthy family's secret about Bai Wanqing's postpartum depression, he cured Ms. Bai's illness, collected a hefty hush money, and then left.
Two years ago, Shen Tong was found and brought to New Zealand.
Dr. Rong also comes once a month.
Check Shiyin regularly.
When the flora replacement surgery was just over, Shi Yin was still the same as before, sleeping very little, only three to four hours a day, and having nightmares from time to time.
It's much better now.
She sleeps soundly for seven to eight hours.
A dreamless night.
You can dress as you like.
No longer bound by those old scars.
Han Zhan took her hand from behind. The woman in front of him looked up at him, her eyes curved as she smiled at him. He took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her waist. She had gained ten pounds in the past two years, successfully shedding her frail, emaciated appearance. She looked like a round, white pearl, beautiful and lustrous. She was also like a pink peach, soft and sweet.
…
The two went to the local Chinese supermarket.
Bought some daily necessities.
I bought a few new toys in the pet area.
After shopping for about ten minutes, a phone call came in, and Han Zhan went to the green channel to answer it. Shi Yin stopped where she was, shopping while waiting for him.
The phone in her bag vibrated, and Shi Yin pulled it out. It was the verdict from the Beijing Supreme Court. Shi Tianhong's commercial crime case involved a wide range of issues. The trial had begun two years earlier, and the process had been lengthy, with the verdict finally being handed down today.
Twenty-five years in prison.
Confiscation of personal property.
After reading all the contents of the verdict, Shi Yin turned off her phone without changing her expression. She heard footsteps approaching from behind, and she thought it was Han Zhan returning from his phone call. She smiled, but the word "Zhan" was still on her lips when she saw Song Sinian's face.
How long has it been since you last saw him?
Shi Yin doesn't remember.
It seems like I almost forgot there was such a person in my life.
"Yinyin, what a coincidence." Song Sinian was the first to greet.
He was wearing a very casual cotton suit.
Got a buzz cut.
The young master's arrogance has faded.
At first glance, he looked like the clean and cheerful boy next door when I first met him when I was fourteen or fifteen years old.

Note:
Meng Xi and Lu Siyu are the official couple, there is an age difference of eight years, Lu is not that old (the author is not that perverted)
