I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 32

Don't Take Him Away From Me

Han Tianyi felt that Sang Qianqian's attitude towards him these days was perfunctory. When she called, she'd say a few words absentmindedly and then hang up.

Having known Sang Qianqian for so long, she'd never been so cold to him, even when she was annoyed by his pursuit.

The only reason he could think of was the card. “Are you blaming me for not returning that card to you on time?”

“You're overthinking.” Sang Qianqian said, amused.

“Then, are you angry that I brought Ding Aojia here today?” Han Tianyi continued to ask.

Sang Qianqian was even more speechless. “I didn't even notice that Ding Aojia was here.”

“It's not that I want to say this, but Tianyi, you're a little stupid sometimes. It's fine if you invited Xia Sitong, but what's with Ding Aojia?”

Wen Xu took a sip of Mojito and interrupted, “You know that my sister and Ding Aojia argued because of Xia Sitong. So why'd you bring her here?”

“It's because we… We're engaged…” Han Tianyi stuttered.

“F*ck!” Wen Xu spat out the wine in his mouth. “Han Tianyi, are you trying to kill me?”

Han Tianyi was a little depressed. “Ding Aojia came to me to apologize and make up. Of course, I didn't agree, but my dad somehow found out about us. When he talked about cooperation with Ding Aojia's father, he took the initiative to talk about the engagement, and her father agreed.”

Wen Xu was speechless. “How old are you? You're not even 20. So why are you already engaged?”

“I wish I knew,”

Han Tianyi's face was bitter. “I feel like my father has used me. This is obviously a business marriage.”

“But the Ding family's company produces cars. So why would your father connect with the Ding family?” Wen Xu was puzzled.

“I can't tell you the details, but my dad probably has a big plan.”

Han Tianyi thought for a moment. “Other than working with car manufacturers, we'll also work with camera and home appliance companies.”

Han Shangrong had a long talk with Han Tianyi for this reason. He used kindness and severity and asked Han Tianyi to be more accommodating to Ding Aojia.

Han Shangrong's original words were, “This plan of mine is very big, and cooperating with the Ding family is the most important part. Of course, you can even break up with Ding Aojia in the future, but for now, I will not allow you to ruin my plans.”

Han Tianyi's protest was in vain. Ultimately, he could only give in to his father's power.

Sang Qianqian's heart trembled slightly.

Not long ago, the Sang family's Hongyuan Group had just held a press conference with a well-known car company. The two parties were about to join forces to enter the smart car field. Was Han Shangrong following them?

Other than cars, they also had plans for cameras and smart homes.

Was Han Shangrong trying to block the Sang family's market from all sides and ultimately destroy the Sang family's industry?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She felt the room was boisterous, so Sang Qianqian made an excuse to go to the bathroom. She went to the small garden outside to get some fresh air while thinking about things.

The sound of footsteps came from behind her. Sang Qianqian turned around and was surprised, “Xia Sitong?”

Previously, when Sang Qianqian went to the hospital to visit Shen Shaofeng, she bumped into Xia Sitong twice. However, Xia Sitong treated her like a stranger.

Who would've thought she'd take the initiative to look for Sang Qianqian tonight?

“The main reason I'm here today is to say a few words to you,” Xia Sitong said softly.

Ever since Xia Zhixin passed away, Xia Sitong seemed to have grown up from a weak little girl.

She gave off a much more mature and stronger feeling.

Sang Qianqian tried her best to show a friendly smile. “If you have anything to say, go ahead and say it.”

“I remember you told me you didn't like Brother Hanyu and that you'd leave the country soon.”

Xia Sitong opened her mouth, “But what're you doing right now?”

Sang Qianqian was startled. “What did I do?”

“Not only did you come to our neighborhood in the middle of the night to look for Brother Hanyu, but you also sent him a check for 400 million yuan a few days ago!”

Xia Sitong raised her voice, “Are you trying to get into Brother Hanyu's good books so that he'll be grateful to the Sang family?”

“It's not what you think.”

Sang Qianqian explained, “It was my father's idea to give Uncle Shen the check. My father admires Uncle Shen a lot and doesn't want him to end up in this state. So, he wanted to help him as much as he could.”

“But what you've done has already affected Brother Hanyu!”

Xia Sitong was getting a little agitated, “He had evidence of the car accident in his hands, and it clearly points to your Sang family! But when I asked him what kind of evidence he had, he refused to tell me. Even now, he still refuses to hand it over to the police!”

“Sitong, I think you misunderstood Shen Hanyu. He didn't hand it over to the police because the evidence wasn't enough to convict the real murderer.”

Sang Qianqian tried to persuade her. “He's definitely waiting for the right time.”

“But if you and your dad keep going around him and Uncle Shen, trying to get on their good side…”

Xia Sitong's gaze was filled with resentment, “I'm afraid he'll soften his heart sooner or later and stop investigating the truth of the car accident.”

Sang Qianqian almost blurted out, “He won't. He's not the kind of person.”

Xia Sitong's expression was complicated. “It sounds like you know Brother Hanyu better than I do.”

Sang Qianqian coughed. She couldn't say that her judgment of Shen Hanyu was based on that nightmare, where Shen Hanyu was a brutal and vengeful man.

She could only vaguely reply, “No, no. I'm not even close to him, so I'm just guessing.”

Xia Sitong's hands were wrung together, clearly trying her best to control her emotions.

“Sang Qianqian, you're the Eldest Miss of the Sang family. You can have anything you want, but I'm different from you.”

Xia Sitong's eyes reddened as she spoke, “I lost my mother when I was young, and my father was very busy with work. Brother Hanyu took care of me most of the time, and he was really nice to me. You have no idea what he means to me.”

Shen Shaofeng had once joked to Xia Zhixin that when they grew up, he'd let Hanyu marry Sitong. That way, they'd be a family forever.

Xia Sitong always had feelings for Shen Hanyu, and she hoped that one day, she'd become a real family with him.

However, Sang Qianqian's sudden appearance made her feel a little ashamed of herself.

Sang Qianqian was simply too beautiful. Be it in terms of looks, family background or ability, Xia Sitong was inferior to her.

Moreover, when Sang Qianqian was pursuing Shen Hanyu, she was passionate and bold. Xia Sitong's first reaction was to give in and run away.

That was until the day when Sang Qianqian said that she didn't like Shen Hanyu at all and would leave the country soon.

She even said, “You and Shen Hanyu were childhood sweethearts. You're a perfect match.”

At that moment, Xia Sitong was grateful to Sang Qianqian for backing out and allowing her to do so.

“But you didn't fulfill your promise. You didn't go abroad, and you're still trying to get on Brother Hanyu's good side.”

Xia Sitong sobbed as she pleaded, “Sang Qianqian, I've lost my parents, and I don't even have a home. Other than Brother Hanyu, I have nothing. So I'm begging you, don't take him away from me, okay?”

Xia Sitong was truly afraid. Afraid that Shen Hanyu would slowly fall for Sang Qianqian. Afraid that one day, his heart would be completely biased towards Sang Qianqian.
