Seeing that the other person's expression softened, Yan Shenyu pressed on: "If I hadn't filmed this video just now, I would definitely have softened and married that man. I would stay at home to have his children and raise them, while he would be out there having affairs with his mistress. What would be the point of such a life? I might as well just find a block of tofu and smash my head against it, sob sob sob..."
Xie Siyan: "Have a baby?"
"Ahem...it was just a metaphor," Yan Shenyu quickly changed the subject, not expecting her impromptu speech to go too far. "Whether I have children or not isn't the key issue. The key issue is that you came into my life. Because of your cooperation, I was able to film that video and avoid being tricked into marriage by a scumbag. You are my savior, my gravedigger. You dug me out of the grave of marriage."
Xie Siyan frowned even more deeply.
He's already gone so far with his boasting, and he's still not satisfied? Tsk, this guy is even harder to deal with than I imagined!
Yan Shenyu wanted to say something more, but the other party had already spoken.
"I'm sorry," Xie Siyan took a step back and said earnestly, "I misunderstood you. I didn't know you had gone through something like this."
Yan Shenyu gave a bitter smile, deeply immersed in the role: "It's not your fault, that kind of situation is indeed easy to misunderstand."
Xie Siyan didn't say anything more, glanced at him, and then turned and left.
Behind him, Yan Shenyu let out a long sigh of relief: They're finally gone!
That's when he realized he was still holding the other person's handkerchief. In today's world where the tissue industry is so developed, those who still use handkerchiefs are basically wealthy people with a lot of rules and are very particular.
Moreover, this handkerchief has a very good texture and pattern, and it must cost at least four or five figures.
Yan Shenyu was unwilling to owe this person a favor any longer, so she quickly chased after him, saying, "Benefactor, wait a minute, here's your handkerchief."
Xie Siyan didn't even turn his head: "It's yours."
"How could I possibly accept this?" Yan Shenyu said, sounding embarrassed, but inwardly he was genuinely disgusted.
He really didn't want it. He didn't lack the money, and what was the big deal about being given a handkerchief?
Or is it...?
Yan Shenyu suddenly thought of a possibility, and her expression immediately became wary: "You don't mean you want me to wash it clean before returning it to you, do you?"
After all, that's how it's portrayed on TV. They meet once when borrowing a handkerchief, think about each other while washing the handkerchief, and meet again when returning the handkerchief. They start to flirt after a while. There are so many storylines that could be filmed.
Xie Siyan: "Even if it has snot, I don't want it anymore after washing it clean."
She's a germaphobe?
Just as Yan Shenyu was about to let it go, she turned around and remembered that she still had an unresolved grudge against this person.
Although it is said that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, if one can take revenge on the spot, why wait ten years?
Thinking of this, Yan Shenyu grabbed the handkerchief and chased after her, saying, "How could I accept this? It's your handkerchief after all, and I have no right to dispose of it. Please accept it."
Unexpectedly, the other party was so persistent, and Xie Siyan was already somewhat displeased: "I already said I don't want it..."
Before he could finish speaking, the long-haired youth had already stuffed a snot-covered handkerchief into his pocket.
“Here you go,” the young man grinned, like a child who had just pulled off a prank. “Whether you wash it or throw it away is up to you.”
Xie Siyan frowned deeply.
Sticky snot...
It was covered in dirty liquid and bacteria...
It was in his pocket...
In a split second, Xie Siyan swiftly pulled out his handkerchief and threw it away. His phone, which he had been holding, was also thrown along with it.
Yan Shenyu was originally watching the show from the sidelines, but he didn't expect this man to be so ruthless. Not only did he throw it, but he also threw it right in his direction!
"Ah!!" Yan Shenyu quickly raised his hand and flung it away. He managed to fling the handkerchief away, but his phone also flew straight out.
What a petty, vindictive person!
Yan Shenyu muttered to himself, took two steps forward, picked up his phone, and put it back in his pocket.
But after getting up, he suddenly realized a problem: where was the handkerchief?
Why can't I see the handkerchief on the ground? Is it still flying in the sky?
When Yan Shenyu looked up, he was dumbfounded.
The handkerchief had already landed, and coincidentally, it landed right on the head of an innocent passerby.
Yan Shenyu: "..."
"Ah... I must be seeing things, right?" Yan Shenyu forced a stiff smile, trying to reassure herself, "How could the handkerchief fly onto the streetlight? Hey, get down here, don't run around like that, okay? You're so wet, this bald, round, hot head of yours won't be able to withstand the explosion!"
A passerby said, "Don't make it sound so lewd about wiping a light bulb with a wet towel causing it to explode! Also, that's the top of my head!!"
"Oh? So it's the top of your head? Sorry, sorry, your head is so bright, I thought it was a street lamp."
Yan Shenyu apologized politely, but when she turned to Xie Siyan beside her, her expression became much more serious: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Why did you throw a snot-covered handkerchief at someone's head? Don't you know that this behavior is very impolite? My mother stopped me from doing this when I was three and a half years old."
Xie Siyan, who had just picked up his phone: "..."
Chapter 3 was drugged.
Xie Siyan stood there, not even having a chance to retort, when Yan Shenyu had already run far away, leaving the passerby who had just taken off his handkerchief and looked at him with a complicated expression.
Xie Siyan: "..."
He had never encountered anything so outrageous in his entire life.
But he is, after all, a domineering CEO who has seen it all, so handling this little matter is no problem for him.
Xie Siyan calmly took out his business card and said in a business negotiation tone, "This is my business card. You can contact my secretary for further processing."
"Who wanted your business card!" The passerby, also short-tempered, grabbed his handkerchief and business card and threw them into the nearby trash can, angrily saying, "I'm telling you, don't let me see you again, or I'll... I'll cry every time I see you! Waaaaah... I was supposed to have a blind date today, and I finally managed to get the day off... waaaah..."
Indeed, if you're middle-aged and still unmarried, it's time to start worrying.
Xie Siyan sincerely suggested, "I can introduce you to..."
Before he could finish speaking, the passerby's phone suddenly rang.
The passerby quickly wiped away his tears and answered the phone: "Yes, yes, I'm here, okay, coming right away..."
Then he sat on the floor, turned on his computer, and started working.
“I can introduce you to potential partners,” Xie Siyan said directly. “I also have some unmarried women in their thirties and forties in my company.”
The domineering CEO habit is accurately described.
Unexpectedly, the passerby immediately exploded, angrily shouting, "Are you looking down on me? I'm only 26! I don't want a relationship with a younger man!!"
"Uh..." After a long silence, Xie Siyan turned and left expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, I offended you."
"Hey, wait a minute," the passerby suddenly said hesitantly, "Are the ladies pretty? If they are, I might like them... Hey, wait a minute! You said you'd introduce me to some..."
...
"Why have you been out alone for so long?" Xie Siyan was greeted by his grandmother's stern face as soon as he returned to the private room.
Recalling everything that had happened before, Xie Siyan, who worked more than ten hours a day, also began to feel mentally exhausted.
"Nothing," he shook his head and said casually, "Just wandering around."
"Go shopping?" Old Mrs. Xie was almost furious. "You left your female companion behind and went shopping by yourself?"
Beside her, Wu Mengmeng hung her head, her eyes red and swollen, looking pitiful.
“I have already explained the reason to Miss Wu very clearly,” Xie Siyan said without even glancing at her. “Secretary Lin, please see Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu out.”
The Wu family clearly dared not get involved in the Xie family's conflict, politely declined Old Madam Xie's repeated attempts to persuade them to stay, and left with Secretary Lin.
"The president has prepared a private room for everyone at Ningcui Restaurant next door. If you have time, please go there for a meal." Secretary Lin stopped at the entrance of Chunxie Garden and said politely, "I'm sorry for the unpleasant experience."
Mr. Wu was taken aback and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, it's very difficult to make a reservation for the fishing platform. This is our first time here, so we're just here to broaden our horizons."
They come from humble backgrounds and shouldn't even have the idea of climbing the social ladder.
The way the Xie family handled it was already giving him a lot of face.
Secretary Lin bowed and respectfully handed over three black cards, explaining under the surprised gaze of the other party, "To express our apologies, the president asked me to issue you all a VIP membership card for the fishing platform. You are welcome to visit anytime."
The three people on the other side were genuinely surprised.
Although the fishing platform is open to the public, it has many restrictions and is not accessible simply because you have money.
Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing, and I ended up getting three membership cards.
Even Wu Mengmeng couldn't stay angry anymore. Her girlfriends had said they wanted to celebrate her birthday at the fishing platform, but they couldn't make a reservation. This card came at just the right time.
Moreover, upon closer reflection, Xie Siyan's personality isn't as bad as the rumors suggest.
He saved her face in front of others, refused her decisively without hesitation, took responsibility afterwards, and even compensated them to appease their feelings...
He may seem aloof, but he is actually meticulous in his work.
Unfortunately, this kind of person was not meant to be with her.
Wu Mengmeng put away the card, turned and left, her white skirt drawing an elegant arc in the air.
Only after the three members of the Wu family disappeared at the end of the garden did Secretary Lin straighten up and turn back to Chunxi Garden.
As soon as I stepped outside, I heard crying coming from inside the private room.
"Why is my life so miserable?" Old Mrs. Xie was already crying. "My husband died when I was young, and I raised my two sons alone. I finally had two grandsons in my old age, but they are both such a worry. My little grandson changes girlfriends every day, and I can't control his love life. But what if he gets a sexually transmitted disease?"
The grandson, accused of changing partners every day: "..."
"I don't have an STD, thank you."
The old woman ignored her and continued to cry, "The older one doesn't have a partner, but he's almost thirty and still a virgin. How can I face your deceased parents!"
The eldest grandson, who is almost thirty and still a virgin, said: "Grandma, my parents are not dead yet."
Unexpectedly, the old lady became even angrier: "They left such a big family business to you, and you went to that Amazon or whatever to study the rainforest. Isn't that the same as being dead?"
"Grandma," Xie Pingfeng kindly reminded her, "Uncle and Aunt are currently researching caldera lichens in the Arctic."
Grandma Xie: "..."
"Oh, why am I so unlucky!" Old Mrs. Xie sighed, her acting as exaggerated as an 8:30 pm late-night drama. "Anyway, there's no point in living, I might as well just die! You old hag, just you wait, I'm coming for you!"
Seeing that her two grandsons ignored her, Grandma Xie threw down her cane and pretended to bang her head against the wall.
But she didn't expect that this step would be too big, and the cheongsam she was wearing was too form-fitting. The old lady lost her balance and actually crashed into the wall.
