"Hanhan's in-laws are coming to propose marriage tonight. You should stay in your room and don't walk around. Don't offend them. Do you hear me?" Han Lingli looked at her daughter with disdain in her eyes.

Si Tong lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent, "I know, Mom."

Han Lingli felt a knot of resentment in her heart. If outsiders knew that she had a daughter who had just been released from prison, they would definitely laugh at her to death.

However, she felt much better when she thought that the stepdaughter she had raised was about to marry into the richest family in the Yu family.

"I'll have someone deliver dinner to your room. Don't walk around. Remember that."

Seeing Si Tong nod obediently, Han Lingli left with peace of mind.

Si Tong waited for her to leave, closed the door, stood there for a while, and then looked around the room.

This is the Qin family’s servants’ dormitory. It’s not big, but it has all the necessary appliances, furniture, and private bathroom.

Si Tong grew up without a father. Her mother, Han Lingli, remarried to Qin Anxu, a wealthy businessman in Haicheng, when she was five years old, and they lived a comfortable life.

Si Tong grew up with his grandmother in difficulty.

The dormitory building is behind the main building. Through the window, you can see the magnificent main villa building.

Tonight is the day when the eldest daughter of the Qin family's in-laws come to propose marriage. The entire Qin family seems to be extremely busy. From Han Lingli's cautious attitude, it is not difficult to guess that the other party must be very noble.

Soon it was night.

Si Tong sat at the table, holding a yellowed high school English notebook in his hand. Even with the windows closed, he could hear the elegant piano music coming from the main building.

It was at odds with the growl of hunger in her stomach.

Han Lingli was probably too busy to ask anyone to bring her food. She hadn't eaten a single bite since morning.

“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, catch it!” Suddenly, the sound of children playing and the excited barking of dogs were heard outside the window.

In the dim light, Si Tong saw several children in the garden behind the main building teasing a majestic German Shepherd with chicken legs.

Maybe it ate too much, and in the end the German Shepherd didn’t want to take it. The chicken leg fell to the ground, and it came over to smell it and then left without caring.

The children found it boring, so they threw away the remaining chicken legs and ran off to play somewhere else with the German Shepherd.

Si Tong pursed her lips, stared at the downstairs for a while, then opened the door and tiptoed down.

The chicken legs had a very light taste, almost no saltiness. Pets cannot eat salt, so it was probably food specially made for the German Shepherd.

Sometimes people are worse off than dogs, Si Tong thought calmly, with no expression on his face.

suddenly.

A dark shadow jumped out from the flowers nearby.

The German Shepherd just now rushed towards Si Tong quickly, and she was startled.

Just as the German Shepherd was about to pounce on her.

"Come back." A low and gentle rebuke was heard. The tone was not harsh, but it immediately calmed down the excited big dog.

Si Tong was startled again. He didn't expect someone to be there. He looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a tall and majestic figure walking out from behind the flowers.

From darkness to light, the man's appearance became clearer.

The man was wearing a black shirt and trousers. The collar of his shirt was fastened with an exquisite silver collar pin. He looked straight and rigorous, and exuded a restrained and dignified masculine charm.

The gaze that came over was calm and peaceful, but even in this calmness, it somehow revealed a sense of awe that made people dare not act recklessly in front of him.

"Scared?" The man stood in front of Si Tong and spoke in a low voice. He leaned forward slightly and stretched out his hand to the girl, "Get up."

Si Tong then realized that he had been so scared that he fell to the ground. He looked at the man's big hands in front of him, which were slender, strong, and with distinct joints.

She lowered her eyes, did not reach out to hold the big hand of this strange man, but climbed up by herself by supporting herself on the ground.

The man's kindness was ignored, but he was not annoyed. He withdrew his hand indifferently and looked at the poor little thing in front of him.

The girl was very young, with willow-shaped eyebrows, bright eyes, fair skin, red lips, and a very slender figure, especially her waist, which seemed so thin that it seemed like it could be broken if pinched.

Although she is so thin, her face is full of collagen, and the plump parts are especially plump.

"Are you the new maid of the Qin family?" The man's voice was very attractive, and against the backdrop of the night, it seemed even more nonchalant and calm.

"Go this way, turn left, and the staff restaurant is at the end." After a pause, he added, "Don't eat anything on the ground, it's dirty."

From the tone of his voice, Si Tong didn't think he was a member of the Qin family. He should be the noble man that his mother had warned him not to offend.

She didn't want to upset her mother, so she turned around and left without saying anything. The man's gaze fell on her neither lightly nor heavily, but it felt like a thousand pounds of pressure, and the strong sense of oppression made her back tighten.

Si Tong quickened his pace.

Yu Hanshen stood where he was, watching the little girl's back as she fled in panic, and sneered faintly. He was ignored for showing such kindness for once.

……

Yu Hanshen returned to the reception room, and the German Shepherd followed him obediently.

Han Lingli's smile was full of flattery. "Mr. Yu is back just in time. We were just discussing where to hold the wedding. Hanhan wants to go to New Zealand, and Zhiheng wants to go to France. Who do you think should be followed?"

Originally, Yu Zhiheng's parents should have come to the Qin family to propose marriage, but they had something urgent to do and couldn't get away, so they asked Yu Hanshen to come.

As Yu Zhiheng's uncle and the person in charge of the Yu family, Yu Hanshen made the Qin family more proud than if Yu Zhiheng's parents were present.

The round table with a diameter of five meters in the Qin family's reception room was filled with people, all just to have a chance to talk to Yu Hanshen today.

He listened to Han Lingli's words, chuckled, and said in a lukewarm manner: "You can discuss the child's affairs among yourselves. I'm too old to get involved."

Han Lingli heard the coldness in the man's words and smiled awkwardly. Noticing the mocking looks from others, she clenched her teeth.

At half past nine, Yu Hanshen and Yu Zhiheng left the Qin family.

In Maybach, Yu Zhiheng's face was gloomy and he looked absent-minded, without any joy that one should have when getting engaged.

Yu Hanshen glanced at him calmly, "You looked so sad the whole night, what's wrong? Are you worried about something?"

Yu Zhiheng glanced at his uncle's dignified expression, was silent for a moment, and then said, "I... kind of regret it, can I..."

"No." Yu Hanshen interrupted his nephew in a serious tone, and taught him with the airs of an elder: "You broke off the engagement right after the engagement, do you think marriage is a joke?"

Yu Zhiheng could tell that his uncle was unhappy, and he knew that he was being naughty, so he didn't dare to say anything else. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "But I can't forget her..."

Yu Hanshen knew that the 'she' Yu Zhiheng was talking about was Yu Zhiheng's ex-girlfriend whom he had broken up with four years ago.

"A woman who has been to jail is not worth your longing for." Yu Hanshen lit a cigarette, puffed away casually, his eyes slightly narrowed.

His tone was full of anger. Yu Hanshen reached out of the window and slowly tapped the ash from his cigarette. His tone was so cold that it was almost cruel: "She will never be able to enter the Yu family in her lifetime. Forget about it."

Not to mention Yu Zhiheng's parents, even he would not allow a woman who had been in jail to tarnish his nephew's reputation.
