Chapter 3: Let it out if you're angry
"Will Young Master Han be willing to marry you?"
When her good friend Mo Li called to ask about it, Shi Yin was standing under an empty corner of the eaves, admiring the brilliant fireworks that Song Sinian had set off for Shi Qinghe in the night sky with a cold expression.
Shi Yin replied: "He will."
First, the Han couple was pushing hard, and everyone in the circle knew that the second young master of the Han family had to get married this year.
Secondly, while the Shi family wasn't one of the eight great families, it was still a wealthy family in Beijing. Furthermore, with its strong growth momentum in recent years, its company's size had grown year by year, and its wealth and status had also risen. While marrying into the Han family was considered marrying up, it was also a good match.
Third, Han Zhan is a playboy, a man who doesn't work hard, a wild, untamed wolf. He wants a well-behaved marriage partner—simply put, someone who doesn't have the guts to discipline him and wants to be kept around as a mere ornament.
Looking at the entire Beijing circle, Shi Yin is the best candidate.
He couldn't find another person who met all three of these requirements.
As Shi Yin's close friend for many years, Mo Li knew clearly why she took this step. She also knew that from her first chance encounter with Han Zhan at the dinner of the eight major families half a year ago, to the premeditated blind date this morning, to the third meeting tonight, she had made steady progress step by step, and was sure to marry into the Han family as she wished.
Even so, Mo Li couldn't help but worry: "Han Zhan has a very bad reputation, and he likes to play outside all day and never come home. I'm afraid you will be wronged after marrying him."
Shi Yin had a different opinion from her, "Compared to a hypocrite like Song Sinian who cheated but dared not admit it and pretended to be affectionate, I would rather get along with the real villain (Han Zhan)."
Mr. Han is really bad.
It's obvious that he is a scumbag.
It's so bad that everyone in and outside the circle knows about it.
Shi Yin admired his openness and honesty; at least he was willing to take responsibility for his actions. Unlike Song Sinian, who used the excuse of "compensation" to carry out his affair, and then tried to save face on the moral level by saying, "I'm paying off your debt."
From the day she decided to break up with Song Sinian and began thinking about stealing the family fortune, Shi Yin began searching for a husband who could quickly form an alliance with her comrade-in-arms through marriage. She chose Han Zhan for another reason: "I met him during my year as an exchange student at HU. He was the architect of two key projects that helped the Han Group connect with the international market and become a comprehensive financial chaebol."
"The two projects that the Federal Reserve has long financed?" Molly was surprised.
"right."
"Didn't his brother Han Zheng do it?"
This project was a sensation. With the massive financing from the US Federal Reserve, the Han Group climbed into the top 15 international corporations, and the Han family instantly became the leader of the eight major families in Beijing. As the project leader, Han Zheng, the eldest son of the Han family, naturally ascended to the position of President of the Han Group, enjoying immense popularity and admiration.
Yinyin can't tell lies.
That is to say, Han Zheng took credit for his brother's work?
Where did Han Zhan get this talent? He was always ranked last in school and couldn't even get into Beijing University. The Han family spent a fortune to send him abroad to gain experience. Aside from his correct sexual orientation, everything about him was crooked. For as long as Mo Li could remember, the most common thing parents in Beijing would say to their children was: "Stay away from Han Zhan."
A few minutes later.
Shi Yin took the phone from her ear and ended the call. She turned to leave, and the moment she raised her eyes, she saw Song Sinian. He saw her too, and as she stepped out of the gate of Banbijiangshan, Song Sinian walked straight towards her, closing the distance, and began to accuse her: "You're late for Qinghe's birthday! You don't know etiquette, and you don't respect others!"
"So? Call the police and arrest me, okay?"
Her eyebrows raised slightly.
Seems to be smiling.
The smile did not reach his eyes, which were cold.
Song Sinian was very disgusted with her current appearance. She spoke with a sharp tone and in a sarcastic tone. Not only did she lose her former gentleness and docility, she also lost the elegant qualities of a daughter from a wealthy family.
"I won't hold you accountable for being late. Now, come with me into the banquet hall and give the gift to Qinghe. Also, walk around in plain sight so we can dispel the rumors."
"What rumors?"
"Don't ask questions when you already know the answer!"
"I don't know."
Looking at Shi Yin's clear almond-shaped eyes, the way she blinked seemed like she was truly unaware of the world, unaware of the unbearable discussions in the circle in recent days. Song Sinian hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I have been taking care of Qing He since her legs became disabled. Everyone misunderstood that I had a private relationship with her, and our reputations have been affected."
Shi Yin nodded, "You and her don't have it?"
Song Sinian's face was cold, "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing her looking up at the fireworks, he felt like someone had stepped on his tail. Feeling guilty, the man raised his voice and shouted rudely, "Shiyin, stop being unreasonable! I saved you when we were climbing the mountain at the beginning of the year, and that's why Qinghe fell off the mountain. The reason she's disabled and has to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life is because of you. I'm just repaying you!"
Song Sinian was so excited that his body instinctively leaned towards Shi Yin. The moment he got closer, the light from the fireworks reflected on Shi Yin's face, and the tears on her cheeks suddenly hit his eyes.
She cried.
Song Sinian suddenly choked.
The anger suddenly died down, and his throat became increasingly dry. The unfinished words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't spit them out. Song Sinian opened his lips, and a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes: "...Yinyin, don't listen to the gossip of outsiders. Qinghe and I are really fine. I have already told my family that we will register for the marriage certificate and hold the wedding in the second half of the year. The position of Mrs. Song will always be yours, and no one can take it away. So, please stop being suspicious and angry, okay?"
"Am I angry?"
"Isn't it?" Song Sinian stared at her, judging her word by word. "Ever since the mountaineering accident, when I got close to Qinghe to help you pay off your debts, your personality has changed and you've become jealous all the time. Tonight, when you saw me setting off fireworks for Qinghe, you got so angry that you deliberately came late and even cried. Shi Yin, stop making a fuss and be sensible!"
Shi Yin laughed angrily.
She actually laughed out loud.
The man in front of her no longer had the youthful, sunny, and gentle look she remembered. Only hypocrisy and arrogance remained. This ugly and disgusting face made Shi Yin feel dirty if she looked at it for even half a second longer. "Song Sinian, if you had a little more confidence in your work, you wouldn't have been a vice president in name only after working for Song's Enterprise for so long."
"Shi Yin, you—"
"Don't think too highly of yourself. When I have you in my eyes, you are a priceless treasure. When I don't have you, you are not even worth a speck of dust in the wind. You can give the position of Mrs. Song to whoever you want. I don't want it."
Shi Yin walked around him and left.
Didn't even glance at him.
The woman's indifferent expression made Song Sinian dazed for a moment. After the shock, he felt an indescribable panic in his heart, as if something was being lost, and he could neither catch nor hold on to it.
Song Sinian took two steps forward, but his pride prevented him from taking a third step. He stood still, staring at Shi Yin's back, and shouted sternly, "Looking at the entire Beijing circle, which man besides me would marry you?"
"Don't forget, you're destined to be a disaster. Even your parents dislike you! I'm the only one willing to show you some kindness and get engaged to you out of pity!"
"Shi Yin, as your parents said, you are no match for your sister. Even if Qing He lost her legs, you still can't compare to a few of her fingers. You are so useless and annoying, what qualifications do you have to point fingers in front of me!"
Shi Yin stopped walking.
Song Sinian's eyes tightened. He thought she would apologize to him, or at least say something soft to cheer him up, but then he saw Shi Yin glance at him coldly and spit out a few words: "Song Sinian, you are so cheap."
