In her third year of high school, Zhao Qingran arranged to meet Ying Zenan. He gladly agreed, but he did not know that what awaited him was a trap.
That had been in a hotel room and they hadn't talked much yet.
When her mother pushed the door open and entered, she saw that Zhao Qingran had taken off her clothes and was crying, saying that Ying Zenan wanted to rape her,
When Ying Haiyun found out about this, he flew into a rage. That night, he made him kneel in the courtyard and beat him half to death in the rain all night.
He was sent abroad the next day.
Zhao Qingran's mother received two million from the Ying family.
Uncle Zhao was a good person, and the Ying family felt indebted to him.
Zhao Qingran was really a good child.
No one believed his explanation.
After that incident, the relationship between the two families became much colder. It was not until Father Zhao came back from work in the past six months and learned the truth of the entire matter that he personally came to apologize and return the two million dollars.
However, most of the money had been lost by Zhao Qingran's mother.
Ying Zenan did not know or participate in the final solution.
It was only when Ying Haiyun called him to inform him about Zhao Qingran staying over for a few days that he asked his father coldly over the phone, "Now that you know the truth of that matter, aren't you afraid that I'll repeat the same mistake?"
"I know that you've suffered because of this matter. If you really like the girl from the Zhao family, I won't stop you. I'll settle her mother for you. Coincidentally, your Uncle Zhao is already planning to divorce her."
At that time, Ying Zenan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office and looked down at the entire city below him.
"What makes you think I'd want a woman who'd plotted against me? My marriage is my own decision. Don't stop me from wanting anyone in the future."
Ying Zenan found out later that Zhao Qingran had schemed against him because her mother had threatened to kill herself. However, he would not change his mind.
Originally, her mother wanted her to really sleep with Ying Zenan. This way, Ying Zenan would definitely be responsible. When she married into the Ying family, she would have anything she wanted. It would be best if she could give birth to a son and even take half of the family assets.
Fortunately, Zhao Qingran still had feelings for Zenan and did not court death.
But it also caused Ying Zenan a lot of trouble.
By the time she wanted to explain to Ying Zenan, he was already overseas.
When he returned to the country six months later, she tried to find him, but he never gave her a chance to see him again.
Therefore, even if she stopped his car now, Ying Zenan was not touched at all.
It was true that he liked her, but it was also true that he no longer did.
"Zhao Qingran, you won't be a good match for me. Really."
He drove around her and Zhao Qingran gritted her teeth as she watched him pass by.
His eyes would never look at her again.
Ying Zenan was frustrated and immediately asked a few friends in Hucheng for a drink.
Xu Yi was the first to arrive, followed by Jiang City.
"Where's Wen Yue? Why haven't I seen him recently?" In the past, Wen Yue had been the most lively.
Jiang Cheng had left the country after the last gathering and only arrived two days after work. They rested at home for two days and immediately rushed over when they received a call from their good friend.
Xu Yi poured himself a glass of wine.
"You haven't been in the country recently, so of course, you don't know what happened. Wen Fucheng chased Wen Yue out of the Wen family. Without money, that kid is working part-time somewhere."
"What? Isn't Wen Fucheng the one who dotes on his nephew the most? That's impossible. Wasn't he fine the last time he came?"
Wen Yue had been doing quite badly recently. Xu Yi wanted to help him, but he was scolded by him. He said that the money he earned was enough for him to support himself.
Xu Yi just smiled and said nothing. It really wasn't enough. The Eldest Young Master was used to spending a lot of money and suddenly went from extravagant to frugal. No one would be able to stand it.
"It's normal for Wen Fucheng to look down on Yan Shuang. With my many years of experience, that girl is definitely not simple. In other words, Wen Yue is blind."
"Aren't people in love like this? By the way, Zenan, how's Little Ying Jing recently? Is she still following Lu Zishu?" Jiang Cheng didn't want to ask about Ying Jing, but someone asked him.
The mention of Ying Jing made Ying Zenan feel better.
This one went down with another.
"Her! She's not easy either, but she doesn't like Lu Zishu anymore." He changed to a more difficult one.
Yet these brothers were still happy for him.
"That's good. Lu Zishu is not from the same world as us. It's not fun for Baby Jing to be deceived by him. You can rest assured in the future."
Ying Zenan was not so sure. After all, she went after Wen Fucheng.
He was really afraid that she would knock him out and carry him home one day.
Just the thought of Wen Fucheng calling him brother gave him goosebumps.
"All I can say is that I hope she can continue chasing Lu Zishu now." At least it was normal.
Then he downed another glass of wine.
His friend could tell that he was not in a good mood and drank with him until midnight.
That night, Ying Zenan asked his assistant to bring his things back to the company.
As long as Zhao Qingran was around, he did not plan to go home.
Three days later, Zhao Qingran realized the truth and used the excuse of familiarizing herself with the school's living environment to leave the villa with her luggage.
…
When Wen Fucheng returned to the capital, Ying Jing could only pine after him.
Every day, she would sit on the balcony with a cup of tea and wait for her husband to come home.
She took her tea leaves were taken from Wen Fucheng's tea canister.
When Wen Fucheng returned and saw that a large portion of his tea canister was missing, he gently reminded Ying Jing, who was fiddling in the kitchen.
"You can't drink too much tea."
Then he put the tea canister away. Ying Jing pursed her lips when she saw this. Was he really afraid that she would finish it secretly?
"The tea-keeper slave."
Wen Fucheng laughed in exasperation when he found out what she was thinking.
There was no comparison between the tea and her. One was life, the other life extension.
He preferred the Ying Jing.
"How long do you plan to stay this time you're back?"
Ying Jing knew that he wouldn't be in Hucheng all the time. He had his company in the capital, his family and friends, and his home.
This was just a place for him to stay.
"A month."
Wen Fucheng picked up the tea she had brewed before he returned.
The girl was about to remind him that it was her cup, but she was so stunned by what he'd said that she didn't speak in time.
The man put down his cup and said something specious.
"Courtesy demands reciprocity."
What did he mean about reciprocity? She was deep in thought when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Ying Jing was curious about who would come at this time. The visitor waited for her to pull open the door and meet the eyes of the person outside.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
She and Wen Yue said the same thing.
"My home is here."
"I'm here to see my second uncle."
Wen Yue silently took a step back, opened the chat history, and glanced at the message from Wen Fucheng.
"That's right. This is the place."
Ying Jing had already taken out clean slippers for him.
"Here, your second uncle is inside."
Wen Yue had forgotten to look for Wen Fucheng when he entered the house. He stared straight at Ying Jing.
"You and my second uncle…" Her hesitant expression was intriguing.
Ying Jing blinked. His words were innocent.
"If I say I want to be your second aunt, would you have any objections?"
Even if he had any objections, he'd have to hold it in.
