Shiyin rejected Zhou Chengyuan’s call and then muted her phone and went to sleep.

The next day, there wasn’t much to do. The contract signing was scheduled for a little after four in the afternoon. After signing the contract, they would go directly to the dinner party in the evening.

So, Meng Ran didn’t bother Shiyin to rest.

Tang Yulin and Shi Mingyuan noticed that Shiyin had come home because Shi Mingyuan was going to work in the morning. When he was changing shoes at the entrance, he noticed an extra pair of high heels, and Shiyin’s slippers were gone.

Tang Yulin hurriedly went upstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shiyin lying in bed, sleeping soundly without any regard for her image.

Tang Yulin hadn’t seen Shiyin for a while, and she really missed her daughter. She went in, helped Shiyin cover up, and looked at her daughter’s peaceful sleeping face. Tang Yulin remembered the news about Zhou Chengyuan’s serious illness and felt very sad.

Shiyin woke up because she was hungry.

But Shiyin never expected that when she opened her eyes, she would see someone sitting by her bed.

Shiyin was startled awake. She sat up suddenly and was about to instinctively call out, but when she saw it was Tang Yulin, she finally let out a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said reproachfully, “Mom, why are you sitting by my bed? You scared me!”

Tang Yulin looked at Shiyin with a face full of pity and said to her, “Shiyin, you’re not too sad, are you?”

Shiyin took a few seconds to understand that Tang Yulin was asking if she was too sad about Zhou Chengyuan’s serious illness.

Shiyin lightly pursed her lips, showing a sad expression, and said softly to Tang Yulin, “I like Little Uncle so much, how could I not be sad…”

Before she could finish, Tang Yulin pulled her hand and comforted her, “It’s just a man. Don’t be sad, don’t be sad. Come, look, mom has found you a few excellent men…”

Shiyin looked down in shock at the photos Tang Yulin was holding.

What’s going on?

Zhou Chengyuan hasn’t even died yet, and she’s going to be wearing a green hat?

No, no, no, it’s not like she wants this!

She didn’t even know her own mother would do this to her!

Shiyin smiled with a look of helplessness as she took the photos from Tang Yulin’s hand and flipped through them one by one.

Then she couldn’t help but say, “Damn!”

What kind of taste does my mom have?

Tang Mingchen and Luo Yanchuan are in there, that’s fine, but what the hell is Zhou Siyang doing there?!

Mom! You need to explain this to me!

I’m now his little aunt, are you planning to give his little aunt to his nephew after Little Uncle dies?

Is there something wrong with your brain? Are you brain-dead?

You’re not considering the actual situation at all? Let alone her opinion, would Zhou Lao Yezi agree?

Zhou Chengyuan would probably be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin!

Shiyin shook her head as she looked at the photos. Finally, she saw a strange face. She was staring blankly at the man in the photo.

When Tang Yulin saw her staring at this person, she quickly introduced him to Shiyin, “This is Shen Qinghan, the CEO of Han Zhou Group.

Although he’s a little older, you can’t tell he’s about to turn forty just by looking at his appearance. He’s also very capable and talented.

He’s not some irresponsible CEO. He’s clean and virtuous. I think he’s good.”

Shiyin chuckled.

Good, my ass!

Shen Qinghan appeared once in the novel. It was after Zhou Chengyuan died, during a period of turmoil in the Zhou family.

The person who secretly helped Zhou Siyang was Shen Qinghan.

Shiyin slightly furrowed her brows, she felt like this name… sounded familiar…

Shen Qinghan.

Shiyin suddenly froze. Zhou Chengyuan had told her that his personal doctor was called Shen Qingzhou.

Tang Yulin just mentioned that Shen Qinghan was the CEO of Han Zhou Group.

Could it be… Shen Qinghan and Shen Qingzhou are brothers?

If that’s the case, then there’s an explanation for why Shen Qinghan would secretly help Zhou Siyang.

Maybe he helped Zhou Siyang because of the friendship between his brother and Zhou Chengyuan.

“Mom,” Shiyin asked Tang Yulin, “Does this Shen Qinghan have a brother?”

Tang Yulin nodded, “Yes, he has a brother who’s a few years younger than him, but I heard that his brother is a doctor.”

“Doctors are no good. Look at the doctor-patient relationship now, it’s so tense. And doctors work so hard and long hours, they can’t take care of their families, and they don’t make much money. They’re not as good as this brother.” Tang Yulin instilled her thoughts into Shiyin.

Shiyin: “…”

My mom always manages to get the point wrong.

She just wanted to confirm if Shen Qingzhou was Shen Qinghan’s brother.

It seems like he is.

Didn’t expect there to be such a connection.

Shiyin raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

“What do you think, should I ask someone to introduce you to Shen Qinghan? You guys can get to know each other?” Tang Yulin asked excitedly.

Shiyin quickly waved her hand, “No, no, no!”

“I think Little Uncle is pretty good. I don’t want to find another…”

Before she could finish, Tang Yulin interrupted her, “Good, what’s good about him! He’s a man who’s about to die! What’s good about him!”

Tang Yulin, with red eyes, began to sob, “If he was good, why would he let my daughter become a widow at such a young age! If he was good, he shouldn’t have agreed to marry you when he knew he was about to die!”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Shiyin nodded perfunctorily, wiping the tears that didn’t fall from her mother’s eyes, “You’re right!”

“But Mom, no matter how bad he is, you can’t find me another man while he’s still alive, right? What if the Zhou family finds out, what will they think?”

“Okay, okay, I know what I’m doing. That’s it for now.” Shiyin put on a wronged expression and said to Tang Yulin with a pout, “I insisted on marrying Little Uncle back then because I wanted to accompany him through his last journey. So, it’s okay. As for remarrying, we can talk about it slowly after he’s buried, okay? I don’t have the heart to think about anything else now. I just want to accompany Little Uncle. Mom～”

Tang Yulin couldn’t resist Shiyin, so she finally compromised and agreed.

Shiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ugh, my mother, she has such a brain with a hole in it!

After Tang Yulin left her bedroom, Shiyin picked up her phone and saw that Zhou Chengyuan had called her several times last night.

Shiyin snorted and pouted at the phone, not answering! Absolutely not answering!

You bullied me!

At noon, Shiyin had lunch at home with Tang Yulin. In the afternoon, Tang Yulin insisted on dragging Shiyin to go shopping and bought her several designer dresses.

Meng Ran called Shiyin when she was at the mall. She asked Meng Ran to come to the mall and pick her up.

After hanging up the phone, Shiyin said to Tang Yulin, who was resting while drinking coffee, “Mom, my manager is coming to pick me up to sign a contract. I’m having dinner with the other party, so I won’t be eating at home.”

Tang Yulin felt a little regretful, “You’re leaving already? You’re not staying with mom?”

“I’ll stay with you when I have time,” Shiyin grabbed her bag and waved to Tang Yulin, “Let the driver help carry the things to the car.”

Tang Yulin waved to her, telling her to go ahead.

Shiyin was picked up by Meng Ran and then went to meet Luo Yanchuan.

Luo Yanchuan was wearing a gray business suit. When he saw Shiyin, he smiled and extended his hand to shake hers, “Long time no see, Shiyin, little sister.”

Shiyin smiled gracefully, “It has been a while.”

After they sat down, Luo Yanchuan asked his assistant to get the contract and pushed it to Shiyin, “Take a look. If there are no problems, we’ll sign it.”

Shiyin didn’t really understand the contract details, so she directly gave it to Meng Ran. After Meng Ran checked it, she nodded to Shiyin. Luo Yanchuan laughed, “Shiyin, little sister, you’re family. Besides, I’m a legitimate businessman, I won’t play tricks on the contract. You can rest assured.”

Shiyin also laughed, “I know, it’s just a formality!”

After Shiyin signed her name, she gave one copy of the contract to Luo Yanchuan and gave the copy she kept to Meng Ran. Then, they all stood up, and Luo Yanchuan said, “Let’s go. To celebrate our successful cooperation, I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight.”

The group of them went to the restaurant Luo Yanchuan had booked. Shiyin and Meng Ran followed behind Luo Yanchuan and went upstairs.

As soon as Luo Yanchuan opened the door, he shouted, “Come, welcome our most beautiful beauty tonight!”

Standing at the door, Shiyin saw the people in the private room. Besides Zhou Siyang and Tang Mingchen, there were also a few other people she didn’t know, they were probably rich kids who often hung out with them.

Shiyin knew this was a trap.

She had already guessed that Zhou Siyang would be here, so she wasn’t surprised at all when she saw him.

It’s just that Zhou Siyang looked a little haggard, which she didn’t expect.

It seems like he hasn’t been doing well lately!

Shiyin slightly curled her lips and walked in confidently, sitting down with Meng Ran.

There were only two seats left, one on the left next to Zhou Siyang, and Shiyin resolutely sat on the right.

Meng Ran knew her little thoughts, so she could only play the role of a good friend and sat between Shiyin and Zhou Siyang.

During the meal, Zhou Siyang didn’t speak much. Shiyin didn’t pay attention to him either. They acted like strangers.

Halfway through the meal, Meng Ran’s phone suddenly rang. She saw that it was Xiaomeng and apologized to the others, “Excuse me, it’s a work call. I’ll answer it.”

Meng Ran stood up and walked out of the private room.

She came back shortly after, looking as usual. She handed her phone to Shiyin from under the table.

Shiyin looked down…

What the hell?

The Weibo hot search #Shiyin and Han Zhou Group CEO’s Relationship# had already exploded with clicks.

#Shen Qinghan# was also trending very high.

Shiyin didn’t know how she was connected to Shen Qinghan. She didn’t even know him!

Shiyin’s first reaction was that her mother, with a brain that had a hole in it, had hired someone to do this. So, she told the others that she was going to the bathroom and went to the bathroom to call Tang Yulin.

As soon as she picked up, Shiyin asked angrily, but Tang Yulin was very confused and didn’t know what she was talking about.

Shiyin knew that Tang Yulin was simple-minded. If she didn’t do it, she wouldn’t do it. She wouldn’t lie.

Shiyin hung up the phone with Tang Yulin and came out of the stall. She walked to the sink and washed her hands, thinking about whether she had missed any information. How could this situation have developed like this?

Logically speaking, she and Shen Qinghan were two people who had nothing to do with each other. There’s no reason for them to be suddenly connected.

Shiyin was baffled. She was a little troubled and turned around. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she bumped into Zhou Siyang.

Shiyin didn’t really notice it was him. She was lost in thought, how could she pay attention to who was walking towards her?

But just as they were about to pass each other, Zhou Siyang grabbed her wrist.

Shiyin instantly came back to her senses and quickly shook off his hand. She frowned and glared at him with an unhappy expression.

Zhou Siyang chuckled bitterly, “Are you still angry about me yelling at you that day?”

“Nephew, I advise you, if you’re sick, go take medicine.” Shiyin curled her lips and said with a smile, “You’re taking yourself too seriously, aren’t you? I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it.”

Zhou Siyang’s expression froze.

For so many days, he hadn’t gotten a single message from her. He thought she was still angry, but now she directly told him that he was overthinking.

She didn’t care at all.

Zhou Siyang felt like he was crazy for coming to find her.

He shouldn’t have come to this dinner in the first place.

It’s none of his business that she signed a contract!

Whether she becomes famous or remains poor and struggling is none of his business.

Zhou Siyang pursed his lips and turned around.

Then, Shiyin looked up and saw the man in a well-tailored black suit not far away.

His face… looked familiar.

Oh! Damn! It’s that Shen Qinghan!

He seemed to have also seen the entertainment news and was staring intently at Shiyin.

Just then, Shiyin’s phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID.

Little Uncle…

Damn.

She had a strange feeling that she had been pushed into a large-scale Shura field.
