Who was Wang Gu? He was Mei Xuying’s most famous suitor. Wang Gu and Mei Xuying were childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates, but what people remembered most about him was not that relationship with Mei Xuying, but his greed for beautiful women.
Aside from the original host, he was another representative scumbag.
He had a proper fiancée, yet after getting married he still pursued Mei Xuying, and even, under the original host’s hint, repeatedly teased Yin Youxia, wanting to get a piece of the action from Yin Youxia, counting as one of Yin Man’s disreputable friends.
What was he here for? He was still looking for Liu Siyin.
Yin Man had a rather bad feeling.
Wang Gu thought about it for a long time, and in the end decided to come and see Liu Siyin with his own eyes.
As early as that charity gala three years ago, he had fallen in love at first sight with Liu Siyin. Although Liu Siyin did not have a particularly distinguished background, her looks were truly first-rate. Even Wang Gu, who was used to beauties, had been struck by her.
But Liu Siyin had a clear purpose, and went straight for Yin Man. He and Yin Man could also be considered drinking-and-feasting friends, both second-generation rich kids who played together. Yin Man had reduced Liu Siyin to worthless trash, and at the time, many people who coveted her beauty had given up. Yin Man had even, in order to humiliate Yin Youxia, shoved Liu Siyin onto Yin Youxia. When they drank together, those friends even said that with Liu Siyin’s peerless beauty, they did not know whether Yin Man was trying to screw Yin Youxia over, or give Yin Youxia a windfall.
If not for that relationship, he would have made his move long ago.
Now things were great. Yin Youxia wanted to break off the engagement herself and hand such a beauty over to someone else, so of course he was going to gladly accept.
Wang Gu did have a fiancée, but that did not affect his interest in beauties, and his fiancée obviously could not restrain him at all. It was all a marriage alliance anyway, so what was wrong with each side doing whatever it wanted?
Although Liu Siyin had not formally broken off the engagement with Yin Youxia yet, that was already a done deal, and Liu Mei naturally would not refuse his mere request to visit her.
Liu Siyin did not know what she was thinking about, and did not even notice him coming in.
Liu Siyin’s somewhat pale, lovely face was turned toward the window, letting the sunlight fall across her features. A pair of beautiful eyes stared quietly out the window, unfocused, as she continued to feel the sunlight.
The bandage had already been removed. Aside from being unable to see, it seemed as if everything had returned to the way it was before, still that same beauty. Liu Siyin’s thick, curled lashes trembled slightly in the sunlight, her smooth, delicate face warmed by the sun until a faint blush rose on it. Her plain nightdress exposed a long stretch of tender, pinkish-white skin on her neck. From the slightly open collar, one could faintly glimpse a bit of her outline, fair and soft. Wang Gu unconsciously swallowed.
Sure enough, she was still as beautiful as ever, even without those eyes.
The movement finally disturbed Liu Siyin. She came back to herself, clutching the quilt and revealing the unease in her heart at that moment. “Who is it?”
“Liu Siyin, Yin Youxia is going to break off the engagement with you.” The abrupt male voice made the air in the room tense instantly. Liu Siyin fearfully gripped the quilt tighter and tighter. The frightened look on her face made her seem like a helpless little pet, making people want to dote on her even more. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Wang Gu, your future sugar daddy.”
“No, you’re not.” Liu Siyin grew more and more nervous, her palms already slick with sweat. “Sister Man, Sister Man will support me.”
She was talking about Yin Man, not Yin Youxia.
Wang Gu suddenly remembered the rumors outside, the rumors about Yin Man and Liu Siyin. Could they really be true?
No, how could that be.
Someone with Yin Man’s temper would never do something as humiliating as slapping her own face. She had more than once shown her disgust for Liu Siyin outside. Wang Gu walked up to the bedside and lightly extended his fingers to touch Liu Siyin’s chin. “Which Sister Man?”
“Ah!” Liu Siyin was startled. She suddenly backed away, and even when she hit the wall, she did not care about the pain. Bending over, she fumbled out a pair of scissors and held them across her chest. “Y-you stay back!”
“What are you pretending to be some chaste virgin for? Your sister has already spoken. Anyone who wants to play with you, this little blind girl, just has to say hello to her.”
Liu Siyin held the scissors, her whole body trembling. All she could see before her was darkness, and the words in her ear pulled her deeper and deeper into the abyss. Liu Mei was still going to send her away, and Yin Man still had not come.
Was Yin Man lying to her?
The scissors in Liu Siyin’s hand moved closer and closer to her chest. She had originally wanted to die. Yin Man had given her hope, letting her endure day after day in the darkness, suffering unbearably. But because of that tiny bit of faint light supporting her, she had held on. If Yin Man was not coming, then she might as well die.
Death could not solve problems, but sometimes it really could bring release.
She did not understand what difference there was between following Yin Man and following someone else, but if it was not Yin Man, she still leaned toward ending her life. She probably had long since made all the preparations to enter the Yin family. It was not that the Yin family could not accept her, but also that Yin Man would marry her, whereas this person wanted to make her his sugar daddy.
More than anything else, it was the trace of pity in Yin Man’s eyes, and those words of comfort that had echoed in her ears.
No matter how bad Yin Man was, she had given her a little warmth.
This was something Liu Mei and the others had never given her.
She would even ask for her wishes, rather than discussing it directly with Liu Mei. She still believed in Yin Man. If Yin Man could come to take her away, she would definitely marry Yin Man. Even if Yin Man beat her to death, it would still be better than dying in such a miserable state.
Wang Gu really had not intended to do anything to Liu Siyin. On the surface, this marriage had not even been broken off yet, and she was still half a member of the Yin family.
But her scissors enraged Wang Gu. “Isn’t it just that Liu Mei is keeping you around for people to toy with? Whoever you follow, it’s the same.”
“Liu Siyin, you’ve played with Yin Youxia before, haven’t you?”
She moved closer and closer. Liu Siyin was already so frightened she had lost all sense of direction, and the scissors in her hand swung out wildly. They happened to slash Wang Gu’s arm. Wang Gu cried out in pain. “Fuck!”
He lunged up to snatch Liu Siyin’s scissors, but Liu Siyin turned them back toward herself. In the struggle, the scissors suddenly stabbed into Liu Siyin’s lower abdomen. Blood flowed out from between her fingers. The thick smell of blood made Wang Gu’s mind go blank, and only after a voice scolded him did he come back to himself. “What are you doing!”
He turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful face, a familiar face.
The Sister Man in Liu Siyin’s mouth, could it really be Yin Man?
A bad feeling rose up at once. Yin Man was that kind of madwoman. Her things had to be played with until she was tired of them and no longer wanted them before anyone else could touch them. If she had not had enough yet, she would go crazy.
That wheelchair was inching closer.
“Don’t!” Wang Gu shouted. The scissors stuck in Liu Siyin’s flesh were yanked out, then turned around and stabbed into his arm. The wound on Liu Siyin was shallow, but his was deep. He stared in disbelief. “Manman, we’re friends.”
“Since we’re friends, you should know better than anyone not to touch my things.” The smell of blood spread out. The scent of the two people’s blood mixed together was pungent. Yin Man’s hand, gripping the wheelchair armrest, was trembling. She had just stabbed someone with scissors, so forcefully, so fiercely.
Maybe to the original host this was only an ordinary matter, but it was different for her. She had always been a law-abiding good citizen. Let alone stabbing someone, she had never even stabbed a chicken.
“Ugh.” The thick, pungent smell of blood made her stomach churn. Fearing that something might be exposed, Yin Man hurriedly said, “Hurry up and send her to the hospital.”
Liu Mei quickly had people come to help Wang Gu. Yin Man covered her mouth. “I said send Siyin to the hospital.”
At this moment, she once again revealed her cruelty. Clearly Wang Gu’s injuries were much more serious. Wang Gu clutched his arm. “Yin Man, if I die, you won’t be able to explain yourself.”
“Oh, you won’t die.” Yin Man answered indifferently. There were two consciousnesses inside her body, one calm, one nauseated.
“I fucking didn’t know she really had something going on with you!” Yin Man curled her lips. “My sister already said it, that I had an affair with my sister-in-law.”
Wang Gu fell silent. Yin Youxia was shocked. This was still the first time Yin Man had admitted that she had this younger sister.
Yin Youxia called for people to carry Liu Siyin. “What are you still standing there for? Send my sister-in-law to the hospital.”
Was Yin Youxia changing her tune a little too fast?
Yin Man had not yet recovered from her nausea when she was stunned by Yin Youxia’s “sister-in-law.” She subconsciously looked at Liu Siyin. Her pale face was full of pain, huge beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, and she no longer had time to care about nausea or surprise. If she could walk right now, she would carry Liu Siyin to the hospital immediately. These people were just too slow.
“Hurry up!” In the end, it was Yin Zhe who carried Yin Man and Liu Siyin downstairs. Yin Man watched, then looked at her own legs, and a trace of loneliness slowly rose in her heart.
“Still not sending me to the hospital.” Wang Gu shouted at Liu Mei, and Yin Man said coldly, “Liu Mei!”
Liu Mei did not dare move. Wang Gu, driven mad by pain and anxiety, shouted, “Yin Man, don’t go crazy with me here. She’s already broken off the engagement with Yin Youxia. Liu Mei already said it, if anyone wants to play, just say hello to her.”
“You said that?” Yin Man’s icy gaze swept toward Liu Mei.
“No, no, no, I never said that.”
Liu Mei secretly cried inwardly. She had originally only wanted to test whether Yin Man and Liu Siyin really had something going on, but Yin Man had not made any move for so long, and Wang Gu’s offer was simply too tempting, so she had…
Who knew it would backfire? That girl Liu Siyin had actually really latched onto Yin Man. Yin Man looked down on her at every turn, and now she really had an affair with her. Although it was a good thing, Liu Mei was still surprised by Liu Siyin’s methods.
Yin Man glanced at Wang Gu, then said to Liu Mei, “I’ve already brought the betrothal gifts. This matter is settled. Her marriage with my younger sister no longer counts. She will be engaged to me again. I’ll choose another time for the engagement ceremony. I’m taking her with me.”
What did this mean?
They weren’t even married yet, and Yin Man already wanted to inspect the goods first. Was she that eager?
Or was she simply not planning to take responsibility, and just wanted to play around? Liu Mei was stunned, but in the next moment she repeatedly answered, “Okay.”
The cooperation plan brought by Yin Zhe would not give the Liu family gains that could last as long as a few plots of land. Yin Man really was far more valuable than Yin Youxia. No, she was more valuable than anyone else. She could do whatever she wanted, as long as Liu Siyin secured benefits for the Liu family. She did not care whether, after Yin Man had inspected the goods, she would still give that marriage certificate or not.
Yin Youxia slowly pushed Yin Man’s wheelchair downstairs. She said softly, “Sis, Wang Gu’s family is not easy to provoke either.”
“Do you really think Liu Mei would just leave Wang Gu alone?”
Give Liu Mei ten times the guts, she still would not dare.
Wang Gu, Yin Man, she could not afford to offend either one.
She would definitely send Wang Gu to the hospital, only after they were gone.
