Shu Yu: "?"
S-sister-in-law?
Her, her?
Shu Yu was completely shocked and hurriedly replied.
LittleFishSwimming: What sister-in-law, I am not your sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense.
LittleFishSwimming: How about this, I won't rent this house anymore and I'll move out. I can compensate you with money, but I really can't be your sister-in-law.
Xiao Jun: "..."
Oh no, he seemed to know just how cute Si Yiheng's girlfriend was.
She seemed very easy to bully. If you messed with her, she would probably just fluff up and move away.
Xiao Jun: I didn't mistake you, you are my sister-in-law.
Shu Yu: "..."
Shu Yu didn't know what to say. After holding it in for a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence, "Iron Egg, this big idiot is crazy."
Iron Egg was also laughing foolishly on the side, [Hahaha, there are actually people who mistake someone for their sister-in-law these days.]
LittleFishSwimming: Who is your brother?
Xiao Jun: I call Si Yiheng Brother Heng.
Shu Yu: "..."
Shu Yu stopped talking. Great, just great, the world was actually this small.
She made a friend, and this friend was Si Yiheng's cousin.
She found a house, and the landlord of this house was Si Yiheng's buddy.
So Si Yiheng was the sun, and all the relationship lines in this world revolved around him.
Iron Egg: [It's not wrong for you to say that. After all, Si Yiheng is the male lead, so of course the story revolves around him.]
Xiao Jun: Sister-in-law, Brother Heng has already bought this apartment from me, so you can live here with peace of mind.
Shu Yu's bad premonition had come true. Si Yiheng probably knew that she was Shu Yu herself.
Shu Yu: "This plot is too easy to collapse."
Si Yiheng now knew where she lived. As long as he wanted to, he could easily meet her.
Once they met, Si Yiheng would realize she wasn't his ideal type and would break up with her.
Then she wouldn't be able to get Si Yiheng's money anymore. If her luck was bad, he might even send her to shed tears behind bars.
Shu Yu lowered her head and pretended to be very busy, "Egg, I need to pack my luggage."
Iron Egg: [Running away?]
Shu Yu smiled bitterly, "Do you think Si Yiheng can send me to the kind of prison where I can learn cloisonne enamel? My first choice is cloisonne enamel, and my second choice is Su embroidery."
Iron Egg: [What a great prison vocational college, we even get to pick our majors.]
Iron Egg: [How about we discuss it with him.]
Shu Yu found joy in sorrow, "Then we'll ask Si Yiheng tonight and see what he thinks I should learn."

Meanwhile, overseas, in City B.
There was a time difference between Xiao Jun and Shu Yu. It was nighttime for him. Right after Xiao Jun replied to Shu Yu's message, there was a heavy knock on the door. Xiao Jun frowned and went to open it.
A stench of alcohol hit Xiao Jun's face, and he saw a heavily intoxicated Shen Qinghan.
Xiao Jun stepped aside to let Shen Qinghan in. "You're really something. Why did you run all the way here? To drink?"
Shen Qinghan lay down on the sofa with a mocking smile on his face. "Why am I here? I was driven here because Si Yiheng pulled some strings."
He wasn't the only heir to the Shen family. The current mistress of the Shen family was his stepmother. Si Yiheng and his stepmother had teamed up to set him up, causing his father to send him abroad.
His younger brother was less than two years younger than him, and the Shen family's main businesses were domestic, with limited development overseas.
Now that he was abroad, it was that little bastard's chance to rise to power.
Si Yiheng was truly ruthless when he made a move. He felt that Si Yiheng had never even considered him a friend.
Xiao Jun was even more confused. "Aren't you and Brother Heng on good terms?"
Shen Qinghan: "Who could truly be on good terms with someone as heartless and ungrateful as him? I was clearly the one who met Shu Yu first. I was the one who introduced them."
"Si Yiheng should touch his conscience and think about it. Without me, would they be together?"
Xiao Jun: "!"
Xiao Jun suddenly got a huge mouthful of gossip and almost choked to death.
Shen Qinghan continued, "Si Yiheng is just a jealous husband. He's afraid I'll take his place, so he can't tolerate me."
"Why can't he tolerate me? I'm not even planning to make a move right now."
"I'm just waiting for him to break up!"
Xiao Jun was speechless: "...Bro, you want to be the other man, and you still expect Si Yiheng to tolerate you. Don't be so crazy."
Shen Qinghan couldn't stand hearing the truth and sat straight up. "Shu Yu and I met first. If we go by first come, first served, Si Yiheng is the other man."
"He should bow to me like a concubine greeting the main wife when he sees me."
Xiao Jun opened his mouth wide. This guy was already trapped in his own delusions and couldn't extricate himself.
Si Yiheng greeting Shen Qinghan like a concubine? More like slapping this shameless home-wrecker away as a greeting.
Shen Qinghan's face would be slapped swollen.
Xiao Jun: "Shut up. If you liked Shu Yu so much, why did you introduce them? You're acting sick. Whether Si Yiheng is a jealous husband or not has nothing to do with you."
Hearing Xiao Jun's words, Shen Qinghan's anger abruptly stopped, replaced by a loud, self-deprecating laugh.
Shen Qinghan laughed until tears came out.
Yes.
He was the one who was prejudiced against Shu Yu first. If Shu Yu knew about those thoughts of his, she would definitely hate him even more.
He had brought this upon himself.
Shen Qinghan opened a few more bottles of Xiao Jun's liquor. Xiao Jun's heart ached for his alcohol, so he fought with Shen Qinghan to drink it.
Xiao Jun: "So what are your plans now?"
Shen Qinghan: "I'll establish a firm foothold here first. I will go back to find Shu Yu. I will go pick her up."
Xiao Jun: "..."
Xiao Jun couldn't be bothered to argue with Shen Qinghan anymore. Shen Qinghan was somewhat stubborn; unless he let go himself, no amount of persuasion from anyone would work.
Shen Qinghan was dead drunk. Xiao Jun stumbled and threw him onto the sofa.
Looking down, he saw something on the floor. Xiao Jun squinted and picked it up. It was an ID photo.
The girl in the photo had a pale face and a fragile beauty, like an easily broken butterfly.
The circles Xiao Jun grew up in were always full of beautiful women, but he still thought the girl in the photo was very beautiful.
Xiao Jun patted Shen Qinghan awake. "Open your dog eyes and look, is this Brother Heng's girlfriend?"
Shen Qinghan snatched Shu Yu's ID photo away. "Get lost, this is Shu Yu, not Si Yiheng's girlfriend."
Xiao Jun: "..."
Xiao Jun couldn't be bothered with Shen Qinghan anymore and went upstairs to sleep.
Right before falling asleep, Xiao Jun just felt like he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember exactly what it was.
*
Today, Shu Yu was very quiet.
She hadn't sent him a message all day.
ATM: Transferred 1,000,000.
ATM: Little Yu.
Iron Egg reminded Shu Yu, [Yu baby, Si Yiheng transferred money to you.]
Iron Egg: [Want to struggle a bit more? Someone like Si Yiheng values promises very much. How about we give him a heads-up before we actually meet him, and make him promise not to break up even after we meet?]
Shu Yu really didn't want to live anymore; she kind of wished the earth would explode tomorrow.
LittleFishSwimming: I'm here.
ATM: What are you doing?
LittleFishSwimming: Chatting with you.
Si Yiheng: "..."
LittleFishSwimming: Brother, do you think I should learn Su embroidery or cloisonne enamel?
ATM: Both are good.
Shu Yu: (ⓛωⓛ*)
Just got out and going right back in again?
That would be too miserable.
I should probably struggle a bit more.
LittleFishSwimming: Babe, I really, really, really like you so much.
LittleFishSwimming: Do you know why I never agreed to meet you?
Reading Shu Yu's passionate words, even though Si Yiheng knew she was a deceitful little kitten, his heart still fluttered with a strange sensation.
ATM: Why?
LittleFishSwimming: I am afraid I am not good enough, that I won't be what you expect, and that you will break up with me. I am really scared.
LittleFishSwimming: Babe, can you promise me that we will never, ever, ever break up?
