As they were talking, Yu Xiaoxuan had finished filming. Then she walked over and took the small fan from Han Yi’s hand without hesitation, “Oh, I’m dying of heat.”
“Qinglan, where are we going to eat later?” Yu Xiaoxuan asked. But just as she asked, she saw Sister Linda looking at her murderously. Yu Xiaoxuan shrank her shoulders and turned her eyes away guiltily. Well, because she was frightened during this period, Han Yi took her to eat all kinds of delicious food, which caused her weight to increase.
“Well, Qinglan, I think we should go for a vegetarian banquet. I know there’s a temple nearby that serves very good vegetarian food.”
Linda withdrew her gaze, and Yu Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
“You are so afraid of her.” Han Yi sneered.
“This is called respect, do you understand? Sister Linda is usually very nice to me. She doesn’t let me eat and drink too much for my own good. I can’t let her down.”
“Okay, okay, this is respect. You are not allowed to eat meat from now on.” Han Yi said.
Yu Xiaoxuan glared at him, hugged Shen Qinglan’s arm, and began to accuse, “Qinglan, look at him bullying me. He abuses me even before marriage. Will I still have a status if we get married in the future?”
As she spoke, she squeezed out fake tears.
Shen Qinglan nodded, “You really can’t have a man like that. How about you break up with him and I’ll introduce you to a good one? Fu Hengyi has a younger brother who’s about your age. He’s a pure boy who’s never had a girlfriend. I think he’s a good match for you.”
Seeing Shen Qinglan’s serious tone, Yu Xiaoxuan immediately became timid, “Well, Han Yi is still very good to me. Let’s not change him for the time being.”
Han Yi’s originally dark face immediately brightened up after hearing Yu Xiaoxuan’s words, with a smug expression on his face, which Shen Qinglan found funny.
“Qinglan, let’s go.” Yu Xiaoxuan said after changing her clothes.
The three of them walked outside. Shen Qinglan went to drive the car. Han Yi originally wanted to drive his own car, but Shen Qinglan disliked his car because it was too flashy.
Shen Qinglan was driving a black business car today. The car stopped, Han Yi opened the door and let Yu Xiaoxuan go in first.
Shen Qinglan suddenly looked in a certain direction.
“What’s wrong, sister-in-law?”
“There was a paparazzi taking pictures just now.” A flash just flashed by, and although no one was seen, Shen Qinglan was sure that someone was definitely taking pictures secretly.
“It’s so annoying that these paparazzi have nothing to do every day and just stare at people’s privacy. Celebrities are also human beings. Can’t they be given a little private space?” Yu Xiaoxuan was a little annoyed.
Just a week ago, the web drama she filmed at the beginning of the year began to be broadcast. In just one week, the number of clicks and broadcasts exceeded 200 million, which showed how popular it was. Although Yu Xiaoxuan only played the third female role in it, she had a lot of scenes, and many viewers also got to know her because of this drama.
There had been many reports about Yu Xiaoxuan during this period. Yu Xiaoxuan did not react at first. But when she returned home at night, she found that she was being followed. She had just experienced a kidnapping and was almost scared to death. So she hid in the quilt and cried when she returned home.
After Han Yi found out, he took a lot of effort to comfort Yu Xiaoxuan, but he didn’t have any good solution for the paparazzi issue. After all, if a star didn’t have any news coverage, it would be difficult for him/her to gain popularity.
Shen Qinglan glanced at her in the rearview mirror, “You should get used to it sooner.” After thinking for a while, she continued, “If you have time, go learn some Taekwondo, for self-defence.”
“I’ve already signed her up.” Han Yi said. Thinking of Yu Xiaoxuan’s kidnapping, Han Yi still had lingering fears, especially when he saw Yan Xi’s appearance, he felt cold all over.
“I’ll teach you some self-defence skills when I have time.”
Yu Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously. After experiencing it once, she was also scared to death.
“Qinglan, will Yan Xi never come back?” Yu Xiaoxuan suddenly asked.
Shen Qinglan’s expression turned indifferent, “Well, she’s doing well the way she is now.”
Yu Xiaoxuan sighed. If it were her, she would rather forget everything. But seeing a 19-year-old girl in her prime having to go through such a thing, Yu Xiaoxuan still felt sad.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became low and no one spoke anymore. Fortunately, the destination was not far away and they arrived there quickly. When Yu Xiaoxuan got off the car, she saw Fang Tong who had already arrived.
Fang Tong was sent to study in Country M for three months some time ago. She just came back two days ago to report on her work and would fly back in two days. So she didn’t know about the kidnapping of Yu Xiaoxuan and Shen Qinglan, and the two of them didn’t plan to tell her.
“Oh, Fang Tong, I missed you so much.” Yu Xiaoxuan rushed over and gave Fang Tong a warm hug.
“Oh, Yu Xiaoxuan, you are so heavy. Won’t Sister Linda say anything to you if you eat like this?” Fang Tong said these words with disgust, but she didn’t let go of her hands and hugged Yu Xiaoxuan tightly. Although she had been in a foreign country for less than a month, her longing for her homeland and relatives and friends was stronger than ever before.
Yu Xiaoxuan let her go, “Fang Tong, you’ve lost weight again. Are you missing me?”
Fang Tong rolled her eyes, “Why would I miss you? I might as well go out and hook up with handsome guys if I have that time.”
“Qinglan, I’m back.” Fang Tong looked at Shen Qinglan and said with a smile.
Shen Qinglan looked at her and nodded, “Very good.”
A month ago, Ding Minghui cheated on Fang Tong and she broke up with him, but Ding Minghui kept pestering Fang Tong. It so happened that there was an opportunity to study in Country M in the company at this time, but the prerequisite was that she could not change jobs within five years, and after completing the study, she had to work as a manager of the Country M branch and stay abroad for more than two years, and return to China to report on her work once a month.
When many people were hesitating because of the following conditions, Fang Tong stood up and applied to Shen Junyu, wanting to study in Country M. After comprehensive consideration, Shen Junyu made an exception and agreed.
“When are you leaving?” Shen Qinglan asked.
“Tomorrow.”
“Ah, so soon, I was thinking that the three of us could go to the graduation ceremony together the day after tomorrow.” Yu Xiaoxuan said regretfully.
“I won’t attend the graduation ceremony. Just help me get my degree certificate and diploma back.” Fang Tong said.
“Well, actually I want to go shopping. It’s been a long time since the three of us went shopping together.”
“It’s not difficult to go shopping. We can go after dinner. It’s just right that I’ll go back to have dinner with my parents in the evening.” Fang Tong said.
Yu Xiaoxuan’s eyes lit up, “Yes, we can go shopping after dinner.”
Fang Tong glanced at Han Yi and felt relieved to see that he had no objection. So, after dinner, the three of them went out shopping. They did not go to a large shopping mall, but to the clothing street they often went to when they were in college. Han Yi resignedly followed behind and carried bags for the three of them.
The old street still looked the same as it did back then. Fang Tong and a few others chatted while strolling around, but not many people actually stopped to buy anything. When they came out of the old street, Han Yi only had a few bags in his hands.
“Is this all you want to buy?” Han Yi asked. The total price of all these things was not even as much as one of his clothes.
Yu Xiaoxuan snorted, “You dislike the fact that I spend so little, don’t you? You’ll have to spend a lot in the future.”
Han Yi smiled, “You can spend as much as you want. My money is yours. It doesn’t matter if you max out all my cards.”
Yu Xiaoxuan smiled with satisfaction. Fang Tong and Shen Qinglan looked at each other, and both of them had smiles in their eyes.
The next moment, Fang Tong touched the goosebumps on her arm, “I say, have you two had enough, there is still a lonely single person here.”
Yu Xiaoxuan stuck out her tongue, “Who told you not to find one quickly, there are so many handsome guys abroad, as long as you make a move, there is whatever you want.”
Fang Tong didn’t know what she was thinking, and shook her head, “Forget it, foreign men are not suitable for me, I’d better return to the embrace of my motherland.”
After leaving the old street, it was almost time, Fang Tong took a taxi home first, and Han Yi and Yu Xiaoxuan followed Shen Qinglan home for a free meal. According to them, they would eat out when they got home, as there was not even an aunt at home, and it happened that they hadn’t visited Grandpa Shen for a long time.
“Grandpa Shen, I’m here again. Do you remember me?” As soon as she entered the living room, Yu Xiaoxuan saw the old man sitting on the sofa watching TV, and she spoke with a smile.
When Mr. Shen saw it was Yu Xiaoxuan, he immediately smiled and waved, “It’s Xiaoxuan, you haven’t been here for a while.”
Yu Xiaoxuan sat down next to Mr. Shen with a smile, “I’ve been a little busy with work recently, and I came to see you as soon as I had some free time. Hehe, I came to have a meal by the way, Grandpa Shen, you can’t despise me.”
“No need to despise you, you’re welcome to come over to have a meal every day. Han Yi is here too, come and sit down.” The house became lively, and Mr. Shen was very happy. Wen Xiyao and Shen Junyu were busy with work on weekdays, and even if they came back, it was usually after dinner time. Usually, it was just Mr. Shen and Chu Yunrong who had dinner together, so it was inevitable that they would feel lonely.
By the time Han Yi and Yu Xiaoxuan finished their meal and left, it was already evening. After Han Yi and Yu Xiaoxuan returned home, they received a call from the old house saying that Han Zhengshan asked Han Yi to go back.
Han Yi originally didn’t want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, he decided to go back.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he heard Han Zhengshan’s angry voice, “You only came back after being urged many times, Han Yi. You are getting more and more arrogant now. Even for me as a father, it is difficult to see you, right?”
Han Yi looked at him coldly, “Is this all you want me to come back for?”
Han Zhengshan threw the newspaper in front of Han Yi, “Look at the good things you have done. You fooled around with the artists under your company and it was even reported in the newspaper. You have brought shame to the Han family.”
Han Yi picked up the newspaper on the ground and took a look. It was the scene when he opened the car door for Yu Xiaoxuan on the set today.
He smiled and said in a cold voice, “My dear father, you are the one in the Han family who is least worthy of talking to me. You have disgraced the Han family a few years ago.”
Han Zhengshan’s face changed and he pointed at Han Yi, “Han Yi, this is the attitude you have when talking to your father.”
Han Yi picked his ears, “Don’t say the same thing again. My ears are getting calluses. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll leave first. I’m not like you who only knows how to tease cats and dogs all day long.”
After Han Yi finished speaking, he was about to stand up and leave.
“Wait a moment.” Han Zhengshan stopped him, “I don’t care what’s going on between you and this little star, cut off your relationship with her immediately. I don’t care if you play with women on weekdays, but your wife must not be a third-rate star. There are so many famous ladies in Beijing, I have no objection to whichever one you choose.”
Han Yi looked at his serious expression with mocking eyes, “My father, it is not up to you to decide what kind of woman I want to marry and what kind of woman I don’t want to marry. You just need to take care of yourself. When you have time, watch over your wife more, so that… There is no green grassland above your head, and you are galloping on it without knowing it.”
Xia Fei happened to hear this when she came down from upstairs and her face froze, “Han Yi, don’t talk nonsense.” Then she looked at Han Zhengshan, “Zhengshan, you have to believe me, I have never done anything to let you down.”
Han Zhengshan comforted her, “I know, how you treat me, how can I not know.” Staring at Han Yi, “Think about what I told you carefully, if you are just playing with this woman, I won’t say anything, as a man, who doesn’t like to play, but it’s absolutely not okay to be serious.”
“Then I will tell you today that the woman you mentioned, the third-rate star is my Han Yi’s girlfriend, the future wife of the chairman of the Han Group, and the mistress of the Han family.”
“Nonsense!” Han Zhengshan slammed the table. “She is an orphan with nothing and an actress. Is she worthy of entering the door of my Han family? Han Yi, I tell you, as long as I am alive, she will never be able to set foot in the door of the Han family. Living with someone before getting married, how can such an unrestrained woman be a good thing?”
Han Yi’s face sank completely. “You investigated her?” Although it was a question, the tone was very affirmative.
“I did investigate her.” Han Zhengshan admitted readily.
“Haha, it seems you are still too idle.” Han Yi sneered and looked at Xia Fei, “I want to know why Yu Xiaoxuan is not worthy of entering the Han family? What kind of woman is worthy of entering the Han family? Is she the kind of scum who flirts with others when she knows that the other person is a married man, gets pregnant before marriage, and then runs to the other person’s legal wife to show off, and makes the other person’s wife get angered to death?”
Xia Fei’s face turned pale instantly, and Han Zhengshan’s face turned ashen, “Han Yi, shut up.”
“I tell you, I’m just informing you, not discussing with you. Whether you accept it or not, Yu Xiaoxuan will be my wife and the mistress of the Han family in the future. If you treat her better, I can give you a good life. Even if you have to support a useless person, I can tolerate it. If I know that you dare to do something behind my back, then don’t blame the Han family for not tolerating you.”
“You…you rebellious son!” Han Zhengshan’s hands were shaking, his face turning from blue to purple, and from purple to black, it was very good-looking, but Han Yi didn’t have time to pay attention to him, so he just turned around and left. Yu Xiaoxuan was home alone now. Ever since the kidnapping incident, Han Yi tried his best not to leave Yu Xiaoxuan alone at home.
