Chapter 33 He is not
Han Zheng looked at the ruby ring for a long time.
There were footsteps outside.
When the housekeeper saw him, he ran to his side with a beaming smile, "Master, why are you here? The master and his wife are looking for you. Please come up on stage and give a speech at the banquet."
"Come find Ah Zhan."
"I don't know what the Second Young Master got up to, but he suddenly showed up at the banquet hall tonight. In previous years, he never came home or showed up on Madam's birthday or other holidays."
"Don't say that, A-Zhan."
"I'm sorry, Master. I spoke too much."
"Ah Zhan is just a little eccentric, he's not a bad person by nature." Han Zheng said as he walked out of the box, "He came to the banquet to celebrate his mother's birthday. He also gave gifts to my parents on their birthdays in previous years. Don't you know all this?"
The butler said nothing more.
Whether in the upper class or within the Han family, everyone had a fixed impression of Han Zhan. They thought he was cynical, wild, and unruly, lacking any of the good qualities expected of a young man from an aristocratic family.
Only the eldest young master thinks he is not a bad person.
Often defend him.
As for the gift-giving, everyone knew that the gifts were prepared by the eldest young master, and they lied that they were sent by the second young master in order to win a good reputation for him. It was rare for the eldest brother to go to such a level, and the eldest young master was really too kind.
A quarter of an hour later.
The ruby ring caught Ms. Bai's eye, and the people around her were amazed. The woman was also delighted. "A Zheng, where did you find this ring? It must have taken a lot of effort. You're busy working all day, and you still prepared such a nice gift for Mom. Thank you for your hard work."
"This is A Zhan's birthday gift."
"You're smoothing things over for him again."
"No, Mom—"
"Okay, I get it. Mom accepts the ring. Don't work so hard in the future. Rest more when you have free time. Be filial to your parents and take care of yourself."
Han Zheng was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by his father. The man led him to the main banquet hall, intending to introduce him to the connections and establish a good relationship with the new CEO of the Mo family.
The other side.
Shi Yin, standing next to Shi's father, was dignified and polite.
She listened quietly to the elders' conversation, waiting obediently on the side. Coincidentally, the Han family was next door, and their conversation reached her ears. After hearing the last word, she turned her head, her gaze fixed on the pigeon-blood Moroccan ruby ring that Ms. Bai carefully placed on her finger.
The woman was very happy.
His eyes narrowed with laughter.
The origins of this ring were unknown to others, but Shi Yin, one of the individuals involved, understood it best. Han Zhan began his search at the beginning of the year and continued until the end, finally locking onto his target, Ms. Jin Baili. His first attempt to meet her was unsuccessful, so he pursued her to Haicheng a second time, and finally boarded a royal cruise ship. After much effort, he finally secured her.
Shi Yin withdrew her gaze, left the bustling banquet hall, and went to the bathroom.
She washed her hands.
I looked in the mirror and saw that my smile was a little stiff.
A few minutes later, she exited the bathroom and spent a moment in the deserted hallway. She stood by the window, gazing at the falling snow. Feeling a bit bored, she pulled out her phone and glanced at the interior decor.
The day after she got the property title in the city center, she hired a renovation team to work on the house.
Dress in a style that young people like.
Put it on an intermediary platform for rent.
The monthly rent ranges from 8,000 to 15,000, which is a stable and considerable income.
"Ms. Shi bought a house?"
The person who came was Lu Cheng. He walked over from the back. Shi Yin nodded without any concealment: "It's a gift from my parents. I plan to renovate it. It will be convenient to rent out or live in it myself."
"Have you picked a style yet?"
"I don't know much about these things, so I left it to the decoration company."
"You should have said it earlier. Zhan has experience."
"Did he decorate the Beishan Villa himself?" It didn't look like it. The day she moved in, 99% of the furniture in the house was new, and he hardly stayed in there.
"He built this garden." Lu Cheng said.
This surprised Shi Yin.
As soon as she got off the car, she felt that this house was very special. It had the style of Suzhou gardens with a new scene at every step, and also had the charm of the small Western-style buildings in the old imperial capital. The designer behind it must have put a lot of thought into making the two combine naturally.
Shi Yin works in the design industry, so he naturally knows that designers must be meticulous. Not only must they plan the overall situation well, but they must also consider the details that others may not notice.
Han Zhan...
He doesn't look like a careful person.
"This garden was built in 2015 and completed the following year. That was the third year after Azhan was sent abroad. He made his first fortune and hired several oriental designers to draw the line drawings for this garden."
"Without Uncle Han and Aunt Han's permission, he couldn't return to the capital, so he gave the money and the drawings to Han Zheng, who was then the Deputy General Manager of the Central China region at Han Corporation, and asked him to help monitor the project every month."
"It's really beautifully built. When I first came here, I thought it could be selected as a world-class 5A scenic spot. The glazed tiles in the courtyard, the bluestone slabs on the ground, and the night-shining pearls on the wall were all selected by him personally."
Lu Cheng's phone rang.
He received a call and left in a hurry. "My dad wants to talk to me about something. I don't want to chat with you anymore."
"you busy."
"When you see Ah Zhan later, tell him that I've taken his car away."
"good."
Watching the man disappear at the end of the corridor, Shi Yin raised her eyes and glanced at the bright, round night pearls on the wall. The entire garden had at least a thousand pearls of all sizes, all hand-picked by Han Zhan himself.
I can't tell.
He actually has so much patience.
Mentioning Han Zhan, this person even sent a message. Shi Yin clicked on the chat box and saw his gray avatar: "Wife, go to the Lanyue Pavilion box, your parents want to see you."
Shi Yin typed: "What about you?"
Han Zhan: "Miss me?"
Shi Yin was speechless for half a second, and then saw his new message pop up: "Busy."
She didn't ask any more questions.
I obediently went to the Lanyue Pavilion upstairs.
There weren't many people in the room; they were all people I'd met at Han's house last time. Shi Yin entered and, led by the housekeeper, went to the living room. She came forward with a custom-made Patek Philippe watch gift box and placed it next to Ms. Bai.
"Sister-in-law, your daughter-in-law is polite, well-behaved and filial."
"Well, it's Han Zhan's blessing."
"Where's Han Zhan? Didn't he come?"
"He came for a bit and left again," said Han's father, a hint of displeasure on his face. "A Zheng was able to take a flight back to Beijing despite his busy schedule, but he doesn't even bother to come even though he's still in Beijing. He comes from the same family and was taught by the same teacher as a child, so how could he be so different? If he could be even a fraction as good as A Zheng, I'd be satisfied."
Everyone in the box sighed.
Some people echoed the sentiment, while others urged the Han couple to be more open-minded. "Don't we still have Ah Zheng? Just put all our hopes on Ah Zheng."
Shi Yin stood silently by for a long time without saying a word.
Words kept coming into her ears.
Perhaps having experienced a similar situation before, or heard the same words, Shi Yin's dark pupils narrowed slightly. She tilted her head, her gaze fixed on the ruby ring on Ms. Bai's right hand, and suddenly said, "Mom, where did A-Zhan go after giving you this ring? I can't contact him."
As soon as these words came out.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
Ms. Bai glanced at Shi Yin, then looked down at the ring on her index finger: "Yin Yin, did you remember it wrongly? This ring is a birthday gift from your eldest brother."
Shi Yin pretended to be puzzled. "No way? This ring was obtained by A Zhan from Ms. Jin Baili at the beginning of the month. I asked him why he went to so much trouble to buy it, and he said that you liked it and wanted to get it for your birthday."
