917 Look Within Yourself for the Problem
Shen Hanxing: “Look within yourself for the problem. At least be a man and stop beating around the bush. Speak directly instead of wasting people’s time.” After deciding to deal with Cheng Songyang, Shen Hanxing had even less patience for him. Since they were destined to be at odds, these superficial pleasantries were useless.
Shen Hanxing’s lack of respect made Cheng Songyang’s expression even uglier.
“Cousin-in-law, you’re still as impatient as ever.” Cheng Songyang reluctantly forced a smile, afraid that Shen Hanxing would say something embarra.s.sing. He hurriedly said, “Anyway, we’re family. I hope my cousin and cousin-in-law can attend my wedding with Youyou.”
“Heh.” A contemptuous laugh came from someone, but it was unclear who.
Cheng Songyang clenched his fist, and his gaze became cold as he tried to ignore the curious glances around him.
“What’s wrong with you, Cheng Songyang!” Unfortunately, Cheng Songyang could endure, but Bai Youyou couldn’t! She shook off Cheng Songyang’s hand, her face twisted in anger as she scolded, “You’re such a coward. Do you really think you can hide? They slapped you in the face and insulted you, and you still invite them to your wedding. Are you that lowly?”
Bai Youyou felt that she was about to die from embarra.s.sment! Her fiancé had been slapped by Shen Hanxing, and instead of fighting back, he was here cordially sending them invitations. It was too humiliating. She, Bai Youyou, had always held a high position, whether overseas or in the domestic elite circles. She was accustomed to being flattered and had never suffered such humiliation.
“Youyou, regardless, my cousin is still my family.” Cheng Songyang’s eyes showed impatience and coldness. But when he looked up, he changed to a pained expression, wrapping his arms around Bai Youyou’s body and letting her kick and punch him. “I don’t have many family members left, and I don’t want our wedding, such an important moment, to lack the presence of family.” After saying that, he lowered his eyes sorrowfully, displaying a deep sense of loyalty and devotion.
Shen Hanxing sneered, thinking that Cheng Songyang was quite good at acting. Her gaze pa.s.sed over Bai Youyou’s face, and she spoke, “Miss Bai, your craziness should have come to an end by now. Life isn’t just about love. Open your eyes and see what you should be protecting. Don’t let certain ambitious people take everything from you until there’s nothing left! I’ve said my piece. Whether you want to listen or not is up to you.”
With that, Shen Hanxing elegantly raised her hand, her fair skin glowing like exquisite jade under the light. “Now, if you all may excuse me.” She politely lifted her skirt, nodded slightly, and held Ji Yan’s hand as they left.
“That despicable woman!” Bai Youyou’s eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to bleed. She couldn’t listen to Shen Hanxing’s advice. She felt that Shen Hanxing was cursing her maliciously. She hated her to the core and began punching and kicking Cheng Songyang. “Let me go! You coward! If you don’t dare touch Shen Hanxing, let me do it! I’ll tear her mouth apart!”
“Enough, Youyou!” Cheng Songyang accidentally had his cheek scratched by Bai Youyou’s sharp nails. He frowned in impatience and suppressed his anger. “You need to calm down. Come with me.” With that, he grabbed Bai Youyou’s wrist and quickly moved away from the crowd’s sight. They found a quiet corner.
Bai Youyou, what a foolish person! Cheng Songyang felt that his patience was running out. While controlling Bai Youyou could benefit him, at least President Bai and his wife were becoming more satisfied with him. President Bai helped him more and more, allowing him to successfully manage the Cheng Corporation after leaving the Ji Corporation. However, Bai Youyou frequently acted crazy, her words becoming increasingly harsh, and her temper more unpredictable. Cheng Songyang was gradually becoming impatient.
“Youyou, do you still want to be with Ji Yan?” Cheng Songyang took off his gla.s.ses and stared directly into Bai Youyou’s eyes. At the same time, he snapped his fingers near her ear and said in a calm and hypnotic tone, “Bai Youyou, calm down.”
With the sound of the snap, Bai Youyou seemed like a puppet on strings. In an instant, all her movements ceased, and her expression gradually became vacant as she mumbled, “Be with Brother Ji Yan?”
“Yes, do you still want to be with Ji Yan?” Seeing Bai Youyou quickly quiet down under the hypnotic signal, Cheng Songyang breathed a sigh of relief. His voice became even softer, carrying inducement as he said, “Marry Ji Yan, become his bride, give birth to his children, and live happily together forever. Is that what you want?”
