'This..'
The man in the picture seemed to be of the same age as him. What took him back was his devilishly handsome face, which seemed to be too good to be real.
His facial features from his eyes to his lips, his stature and his body proportions were almost all perfect.
There wasn't a single flaring flaw in that perfect face of his! What a heavenly god gifted face!
Long Chen finally found out the definition of perfection. He had thought that he himself was very good looking, but..
This guy's face simply put him to shame! Even he had to admit that this man was peerless in terms of handsomeness.
And even though it was merely a picture, he felt as if the man in the photo could stare at him through the screen, right into his soul.
"Impossible.." Long Chen couldn't believe that Song Xia would give up such an excellent man for himself.
He suddenly felt complicated. 'Was this woman dumb? Or simply blind? Or both?'
Which girl in their right mind will reject when such a handsome guy asks her out?!
If what Song Xe Yong said was correct, then this man was from the upper class, so he must be from a highly influential family.
That meant that he (LC) lost to this guy in terms of both appearance and background.. He suddenly felt like his self-esteem had taken a huge blow.
Song Xe Yong saw his prideful expression crumbling into that of disbelief and envy. He couldn't help but smirk faintly.
"How is he? Isn't my sister really blind for giving up this man?" He rubbed some salt to his fresh wound.
As expected, Long Chen's face turned dark, just like the bottom of a pot. He didn't refuse and nodded stiffly, "Yeah."
Song Xia might be blind but he wasn't. He knew that he himself couldn't compare to such a guy.
Shit, this guy must be a winner in life!
"But what do you want me to do? Break up with her and let her go to this man?" Long Chen was sulking when he suddenly had a presumption.
"Don't tell me that this man was behind this all?"
His face brightened when he saw that Song Xe Yong was silent. "If it is like that, I'm telling you; I won't give up on Xiao Xia.. I love her so much-"
"Ah-Chen." A delicate voice sounded behind him. Long Chen turned around and saw Zhang Qiao.
He suddenly fell into a daze, stunned. "Qiaoqiao, what are you doing here? This.."
Zhang Qiao and him were actually dating in secret, behind Song Xia's back. It hadn't been too long though.
He glanced at Song Xe Yong and asked her: "Qiaoqiao- I mean, Ms. Zhang, why are you here? Did Mr. Song call you over?"
Zhang Qiao walked towards them silently and sat on the armchair beside him. Her face was confused, "Mm.."
Song Xe Yong didn't speak anything as he patiently looked at the door. "Let's wait for the MVP to come over."
"..MVP?" Zhang Qiao and Long Chen exchanged glances with each other. Is this some kind of game?! Wait..
What if Song Xia came?! Then, their whole cheating will be revealed.. Their faces turned pale.
At this time, a bunch of footsteps were heard. Zhang Qiao and Long Cheng felt like their hearts were gonna leap up to their throats.
"Mr. Song, I'm so sorry! There was a huge traffic on the way here!" However, an unexpected face stunned the two people.
"..Guan Shan?"
"CEO Guan?"
Song Xe Yong smiled wryly and was about to greet him when he caught sight of a petite figure standing behind Guan Shan.
His smile slowly disappeared.
"Mr. Guan, I told you to not bring anyone else. Who is this?" His tone was emotionless but slightly unhappy.
Guan Shan sweated buckets as he hid her behind him and spoke hurriedly, "I-I told her to not follow me but she insisted I bring her here so.."
A small head popped out from behind him as she innocently explained, "Shanshan didn't mean to bring me over.. I was the one who.."
Guan Shan pushed her head behind him and blocked her view, "Yunyun, behave properly! This.. this is Mister Song from Upper class!"
Song Xe Yong's pair of eyes were deeply staring at the head which kept poking out. He smiled gently, "It seems that Miss Mo likes to poke her head out into things?"
Mo Yun blinked and looked at him with a silly smile which was enough to charm many guys and make their heart soften.
"No, I was just curious-"
Song Xe Yong ignored her and continued, "Should I just cut your head off, hm? Then you wouldn't be able to do so anymore."
"..!!"
Everyone in the room was stunned into silence by his words.
Mo Yun probably didn't expect it too as she bit her lips and tears brimmed in her pretty eyes. "I.."
"Shut up." Song Xe Yong cut her off coldly. It made her immediately shut up and she hid behind Guan Shan in fear.
Guan Shan couldn't help but weakly speak, "Mr. Song, if there's something you're offended about, please come at me. Don't attack Yunyun."
Song Xe Yong sneered, "CEO Guan's and Miss Mo's love for each other seems to be so deep. Then, how about we do this? The two of you just have to display your love in front of my sister.. Something like PDA?"
Guan Shan was puzzled. "..What does our love have to do you with your sister?"
A meaningful glint flashed in Song Xe Yong's eyes. "Please wait patiently. You'll get your answer very soon."
...
The next day, Guan Shan finally understood what he meant.
Because the answer he was talking about came way sooner in the form of a marriage proposal from the Song Family.
"You want me to marry Song Xia and.. cheat on her? Why?" Guan Shan creased his eyebrows tightly.
Though what Song Xe Yong offered to give him was very good, he didn't understand why he wanted to hurt his own sister.
Was this man in front of him insane or really insane? He must've gone mad from all the money around him.
Sipping his tea, Song Xe Yong appeared calm as usual. "You don't know my sister but it's different for me since I've seen her grow up right before my eyes.."
"..She's haughty and arrogant on the surface but actually, she's just dumb and naive. She doesn't know how to cherish good things at all.."
He really sounded like a caring brother, "So, as her older brother, I'm responsible for teaching her this lesson."
"..."
Guan Shan suddenly felt grateful that he was an only child in his family. If he had an older brother like this lunatic, he'd rather hang himself and die!
A sense of pity for Song Xia rose in his heart, which he instantaneously suppressed.
He thought about the benefits that he would receive from this all and immediately felt better. The pity was also forgotten.
He took a deep breath and spoke with a helpless expression. "It's only for a year, right? I can do it then."
Song Xe Yong immediately smiled as he passed a document to him. "Here."
At first, Guan Shan thought he was going to make him sign some confidential document so that he won't back away from this plan but..
It was actually property papers?! So, even if he backed away from the deal..
His eyes gleamed with greed.
But before he could even give wings to those dreams, they were shattered by Song Xe Yong:
"If you back away in the midst of everything, you will have to pay back five times the amount I give you.
"If you can't, you'd better make some funeral preparations beforehand. Oh right, wouldn't it be nice to see your head being split apart from your body?
"..Or maybe I should make that little sweetheart of yours die together with you! That sounds good too. Loving couples do everything together, right?"
"..!"
