Guan Shan gathered his courage and asked, "What.. What if I refuse the deal?"
"Will you?" Song Xe Yong tilted his head, "If you do, I'll just have to get rid of you since you're aware of my plan."
Guan Shan panicked, "But I won't ever tell anyone about it-"
"Who knows? I only think that dead people are loyal since they can't speak. As long as the person is alive, he might tell anyone. A living person can't be trusted, you see."
Guan Shan fell into a dilemma. What was there to even choose?! It was either die or still die!
"Of course, I'll reward you handsomely if you do a great job." Song Xe Yong smiled. Seeing Guan Shan's pensive expression like he was considering it, he warned again:
"Just keep it in mind that if you ever try to outsmart me, it won't just end with your death then."
He stood up, "Then, I'll take my leave." He suddenly stopped in his tracks and smirked, "Oh right, say hi to your sweetheart for me."
"What was her name again.. Mo Yun, right? We're in the same team so we'll be meeting again soon. See you later."
"...?!"
After he left, Guan Shan slumped on the sofa, completely exhausted and drenched in sweat.
"That son of a...!" He sighed while grumbling angrily.
"This time, it's really not simple.. Why did you have to be so greedy, Guan Shan?! Argh, that freak might really kill me if I back out now! But.. It's not like It's a bad idea too.."
He just had to marry that girl from the Song Family and cheat on her, so that she'll be heartbroken, right?
What dogshit drama did this freak from the upper class watch to come up with a plan like this?! Whatever..
He just had to act for a year and then, it will be over. Yes, over. And then, he could divorce her, get her inheritance and kick her out!
After that, he could marry his Mo Yun and the two of them could spend the rest of their lives together in luxury and extravagance.
Guan Shan wiped the drool on the corner of his lips and smiled widely, "Soon, I'll be one of the richest man in China! Hahaha!"
He quickly took the document and signed his name, as if afraid that freak would take it away at the last moment.
He had really forgotten his fear and terror from earlier..

The plan went as they had planned. Even though Song Xia didn't agree to the marriage, it still happened at last.
He didn't know how Song Xe Yong managed to make the Song's agree to the marriage. But this was good for him!
On the marriage night, Song Xia locked herself up in his room and he had no way to touch her, not that he intended to.
Why'd he lust over an ugly woman like her? His Mo Yun was way better.
If it weren't for her good figure, he wouldn't even take a single look at Song Xia.
The next day, Song Xia arrogantly demanded him to arrange her another room. He agreed readily.
He then never caught sight of her for many days. As much as he was nonchalant about it, Guan Shan still felt his ego hurting.
After all, she was still his wife in name! Shouldn't she mind her position before getting so comfortable in his home?!
And even when he saw her, she would ignore him. Just like that, half a year passed. Guan Shan thought that she'd go on like this but she suddenly changed.
She started acting weirdly around him. Sometimes, she would look at him and stare for seconds before looking away. And if she met his gaze, she'd bashfully look away.
He didn't notice it until she started staying in the living room much longer than before. She even waited till he was home from office and ate dinner with him.
Though she still didn't speak to him, her behavior and mannerism towards him were softer than before. This made him very puzzled.
Others started to notice her changes too. Zhang Qiao even exclaimed that Song Xia started to talk about Guan Shan more often.
The group then concluded that Song Xia might've started liking Guan Shan and falling into their trap, just like how it was meant to be.
The victory was in their hands now. They'd soon become powerful after all this and be at the top of their circle.
The days passed by in a blink of an eye and the anticipated big day for the plan to be completed, finally came.

The Day of The Accident |
Zhang Qiao entered the private room and sat down beside Long Chen with a smile on her pretty face. "Where are the others?"
Long Chen took a sip of his wine and smirked, "Where do you think? They're busy executing their plan, of course."
He then glanced at his watch and shook his head, "No, they must've finished it by now and should be on their way here."
Zhang Qiao chuckled, "Gosh. Finally this all is coming to an end, huh. It's a pity that I couldn't see that little bish's reaction when she saw her husband cheating on her."
Long Chen didn't say anything but there was glee in his eyes. He set down the glass of wine and pulled her to sit on his lap.
Zhang Qiao was taken aback but she smiled and hugged his neck, cuddling with him. "Mr. Long, you don't know how much I've waited for you. You're a big meanie~!"
Long Chen pecked her on her forehead and gently spoke, "Don't worry. After this all is done, I will marry you and compensate you by pampering you for the rest of my life."
The two giggled and intimately embraced each other. Abruptly, the door of the private room flung opened.
Guan Shan, clad in his suit, entered with a foul expression in his face. He saw the two acting lovey dovey and his face darkened.
"Where is Mr. Song?" He took a seat on the big table and slumped on the chair tiredly, as if he had exhausted all his energy.
Zhang Qiao got up from Long Chen's lap and sat down on her own seat, nonchalantly checking her manicured nails.
"Master Song hasn't shown up yet. He said he had some matters to attend to," Long Chen replied and asked. "How did it go?"
"It went perfectly." Guan Shan forced out a smile, "Except that Song Xia got so angry that she filed for divorce and even brought the divorce papers to my house."
Though he was going to divorce her eventually, he didn't expect her to act so quickly and even be the one to initiate it!
"Pfft-" Zhang Qiao laughed out loud, "That wench acted so quickly? What did you two exactly do to anger her to such an extent? And where is your sweetheart at?"
Guan Shan had a dark face as he coldly said, "Miss Zhang! Don't joke around! As for where Yunyun is, that's none of your business."
Zhang Qiao looked at him and gritted her teeth.
"Oh? None of my business? This whole matter concerns all of us! Don't tell me, your sweetheart made a fuss again to not show up because she's scared of Master Song-"
Long Chen patted her back to stop her from saying anything else and turned to Guan Shan, giving him a cold glare.
He then asked calmly, "Did you sign it?"
