Zhan was taken away just like that without any means of resisting.

When they got into the car, Zhan remembered that he wanted to remind Jili of something. He called him immediately.

“Jili, you must listen to what I’m about to say!”

“No matter what happens the day after tomorrow, you must not leave the school. Just stay in the hostel and don’t go anywhere. Do you understand?”

“Day after tomorrow? Isn’t that the day of your engagement?”

Jili was upset, “Zhan, what’s the meaning of this? You don’t intend to invite us for your engagement?”

The last time they didn’t know about it but now that they do, how could he stay at his dorm?

“I…” Zhan thought for a while and continued, “No, you all can’t come. Haven’t you seen who Young Master Wang is? He is so scary. Why do you want to come?”

Why does his neck feel a little cold? However, for Jili’s safety, Zhan could not care about anything else.

“The Wang family is so big and I have no speaking rights to decide on the guests. I’m not inviting anyone, including you all.”

“You must listen to me, no matter what happens the day after tomorrow, you must not leave the school. Do you understand?”

Jili was getting upset and Zhan’s tone turned serious, “Jili, if you don’t listen to me, we’re done as friends!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll listen, I’ll stay in school and not affect you, Will that okay?”

It must be Young Master Wang probably didn’t like poor students like them and did not allow Zhan to invite them to the engagement ceremony.

All of them understood that by marrying into such a big and rich family, what status could Zhan have? They didn’t want to make things difficult for him.

“I’ll be obedient. After that day you must treat us and we’ll celebrate then.” Jili laughed.

Zhan knew that Jili misunderstood that Young Master Wang didn’t allow him to invite his friends.

But at this point, he would rather that Jili misunderstood and not let him face any dangers.

“Okay.” He nodded and hung up the call.

Jili will be safe as long as he remains in school the day after tomorrow.

I cannot allow Jili to meet the same fate as my previous life.

Absolutely not!

After he hung up the phone call and only then he realized that the car air conditioner seemed to be on too much, Zhan pulled up his clothes, and turned his head to the side, He was almost scared to death!

Why was Young Master Wang staring at me?

The more frightening thing was why was his stare so cold?

There was even a trace of displeasure in his gaze. What wrong did I do?

“I’m such a scary person that I don’t even allow you to invite your friends?” The man narrowed his eyes and glared at the boy’s panicked petite face, “Is that so?”

“I… I was just joking.”

Zhan just wanted Jili to remain at his hostel. He really didn’t mean to insult him.

Yibo’s gaze remained on Zhan’s face for a moment before mumbling, “Drive!”

“Yes, Young Master.” Zanjin stepped on the accelerator.

The car left the hotel’s parking garage and looking from the reviewer mirror, Jili was standing between Chuyue and Darren and appeared to be so petite and delicate.

Jili….

Zhan pinched his palm. I caused you to be harmed in the previous life. Now I will not let anything happen to you. Never!

“Cousin, this time you must help me. Zhan has gone too far!” Enjie stood at the bedside, crying as she yelled.

She was even more upset that she had to spend twenty-five thousand dollars for the dinner.

Twenty-five thousand dollars!

“Yanxu is also a scoundrel; he took me out for dinner and in the end, I had to pay for it, Has he lost his mind?”

Yangzi was laying on the bed while the doctor applied the facial mask.

She was slapped twenty times and her face swelled up like a pig. Fortunately, other than a slight cut on the corner of her mouth, there were no other lacerations.

After an entire day of treatment, the swell had almost subsided.

But in order not to affect her image, she continued to apply the facial mask.

Enjie was crying her eyes out, “I’ll never agree to that scoundrel dating me again no matter what he says!”

“Okay.” Yangzi nodded and didn’t say much.

“Cousin, the way they treated you and how they bullied me, aren’t you angry at all?” Enjie began to stomp her feet.

“Auntie was sent abroad and her condition is uncertain! It’s all caused by Zhan. Why are you still so calm?”

“Otherwise?” Yangzi started to become frustrated by her. She removed the facial mask and threw it into the dustbin.

She walked to the dressing table and gently massage her face.

Now her face has almost totally recovered, Her fair and slightly pinkish complexion, refined and pure, still a natural beauty.

Yangzi was really beautiful, Even when Enjie looked at her in the mirror, she can’t help but praise her.

“Cousin, you’re really beautiful…”

She thought about it, and said, “Only a beauty such as you are worthy of Young Master Wang, What trash is that Zhan?”

“Zhan is Young Master Wang’s fiancee. Enjie, watch your words.” Yangzi looked at her in the mirror with a look of hatred.

But her face had a slight smile. “Zhan is my brother. How can I think about his fiancee?”

“He was lucky if it wasn’t because of the Old Madam Wang insisting that Young Master Wang marry him, how would he marry such an ugly boy!”

“Cousin, you are too kind, that’s why you are being bullied by Zhan. Look, even auntie has been sent abroad!”

“I am not like the others; I don’t know how to plot and scheme. What can I do?” Yangzi sighed.

“You… sigh! Do you want to continue to be bullied by him?” Enjie: couldn’t accept this.

“Forget it, Enjie, actually Zhan isn’t a bad person. He might have been influenced by his delinquent friends.” Yangzi turned and look at her, laughed, “But, their relationship is really good. Zhan once said that he is willing to give his life for his friends.”

“He is willing to give up his life for those few people?” Enjie frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yangzi laughed and continued, “Yes, if something happens to his friends, perhaps he is willing to forgot his engagement ceremony and rescue them.”

The last engagement ceremony was canceled because that bitch didn’t turn up. If it happened again, then Young Master Wang may not want him anymore.

Yangzi’s slender fingers were pushing down on her skin and feeling its bounce. She looked back at Enjie to check if there were any indications that she may want to do something.

She laughed, “I’m going to remind him again tomorrow. This time, there must not be any problems. Otherwise, Young Master Wang will ditch him and he’ll be very pitiful.”

“Isn’t it good for Young Master Wang to ditch him?” Enjie wrung her hands.

Yangzi winked at her, “He’s my brother no matter what and I wish him well.”

She walks to aside and took out a card from the drawer and placed it into Enjie’s hands.

“Okay, was it twenty-five thousand? There are over a hundred thousand here. Spend it as you wish.”

“Cousin, you…”

“I’ve always loved you… go ahead.”

Yangzi held her hands, “Go home early, go for a shopping spree tomorrow, You’ll feel much better.”

“Cousin, you’ve always taken care of me.” Enjie took the card and looked touched, “I will not let anyone bully you, I won’t!”

I can’t let that bitch Zhan bully my kind cousin Yangzi.

Zhan, you just watch. I’ll torture you to death!

I won’t let you have any chance to harm my cousin!

“Okay, go back and rest early.”

As soon as the door closed, Yangzi’s smile disappeared.

She wants Zhan to be happy? If Zhan was happy then what will to her?

These twenty slaps must be repaid.

Does Zhan expect to be happily engaged to Young Master Wang after framing her?

Impossible!

***

The engagement day of Young Master Wang and the youngest ger of the Xiao family.

This engagement banquet which had caused a huge sensation in the business world was held three days later at the same hotel.

As a sign of respect to Young Master Wang, the guests arrived early and the grand ballroom was full of guests before nightfall.

Xiao Zhan was accompanied by the servants to the makeup room.

Outside, people mingled happily.

The Wang family had arrived. From the oldest to the youngest daughter and ger, every one of them was ideal partners.

The men seized the opportunity to mingle with the leaders of the business world.

The women and ger, especially the young ones, makeup and dressed to their nines and presented their prettiest form.

“I heard that the second daughter of the Xiao family was slapped by the youngest ger.”

“What? The youngest ger hit the second daughter? Why?”

“Was it because the elder sister was too pretty and stole the limelight?”

“Apparently the third ger is very ugly but the second daughter is as beautiful as an angel?”

“What a pity, the one marrying Young Master Wang is the third son.”

“With a younger son who is ugly, nasty, and soon to have status, how will his days be?”

“The second sister should have someone to protect her. How can she suffer like this?”

The men listened to the rumors of Yangzi being beaten by Zhan and felt sorry for her.

When Zhan came out, all sorts of rumors were spreading.

“So this is the third ger of the Xiao family. See, even with makeup his freckles can still be seen.”

“Yeah, why did Young Master Wang agree to be engaged to this ugly boy? It’s truly the beauty and the beast!”

“Like throwing pearls to the pigs!”

“The good cabbages were all taken by pigs!”

There were lots of unhappiness about injustice and mismatch.

Xiao Zhan was seated at a corner, playing with his cell phone.

Those rumors were said near him and though it was obvious that he can hear them, he wasn’t affected.

His indifference started to anger some people.

“… not a shred of shame!”

“Exactly! This ugly and evil boy, sooner or later Young Master Wang will ditch him!”

Zhan opened his Instagram and some people were cursing him for to meet an early death. Others sent him photos and accused him of sleeping with countless men.

He was becoming famous just because of Young Master Wang.

He was bored with Instagram and started to play a game.

The phone rang, it was Zanjin.

Zhan answered the phone, Zanjin said, “Young Mrs, Young Master wants you to come to the second level waiting room.”

“Okay, I’ll be there immediately.” He hung up the call.

He disregarded the poisonous stare by the women and took the lift.

***

He didn’t see Wang Yibo for two days.

They had not seen each other from that day when he went back with him until today.

The banquet was to begin at eight. He wasn’t sure why was Young Master Wang looking for him.

Zhan was sure it wasn’t for sex. Those two times in the car were an accident.

The first time he was drugged.

The second time Yibo was drunk and when he was sober, he avoided him like the plague.

Why would he take the initiative to get close to him?

It was better this way, at least the tragedy of the previous life won’t repeat itself.

As soon as the lift opened, Zanjin opened the door to the waiting room and said, “Young Mrs, please enter, Young Master is waiting for you.”

Zhan nodded and walked in.

The door closed and, in the room, Yibo was at a desk with a laptop.

He was working even on the day of his engagement. Young Master Wang was truly busy.

The misunderstanding and unhappiness that happened a few days ago were all gone.

Everything was the same as before. He was still that cold-hearted and emotionless Young Master Wang, Zhan had seriously given up hope.

Tonight, Yibo was no different from any other day, stern and serious.

But this man was simply irresistible. Each time you saw him, you’ll feel that he was more handsome than before.

He was simply a deadly monster!

“Young Master Wang, you were looking for me?” Zhan’s attitude was nothing out of the ordinary…

“I’ve checked the cameras. When you were at my mansion for these two days, you strolled at the backyard for three times. The third time you had your bag and cell phone. Were you planning to escape?”

Yibo’s gaze shifted from the laptop. His voice was the same as usual and couldn’t tell if he was angry or happy.

Zhan’s heart skipped two beats!

Though Wang Yibo didn’t bother about him when Zhan was at his mansion, he know everything about what Zhan did.

Zhan did want to escape because he didn’t want to be engaged to him.

But he thought about his family and friends who were in Beijing City. If he were to escape, he may implicate them. That was why he hesitated.

The final time he went to a camera dead zone and avoided the patrols by the bodyguards but in the end, he retreated to his bedroom.

“You really don’t want to be engaged to me?” Yibo observed him for two days and finally believed that this boy was not putting up a show and played hard to get.

From the night of the first engagement ceremony, he had changed. This boy was totally different from before.

“If possible, I really don’t want to be engaged to you.” Zhan said truthfully.

“You don’t have a choice,” Yibo said, it was the same as three days ago.

Zhan pursed his lips, since that was the case, then why ask?

Yibo didn’t looked at him and threw an agreement on the table.”Now I believe that you don’t want to get married. In that case, you can consider signing this agreement.”

“Agreement?” Zhan was shocked and walked over. He picked up the agreement and had a quick look at its contents.

“As long as I agree to be engaged, regardless of whether we get married in two years, you’ll give me ten percent shares of the Fairskin Chain?”

Zhan couldn’t believe his eyes.

Ten percent of the Fairskin Chain!

I don’t have to work for the rest of my life!

No, I can live ten lifetimes!

“After the engagement, each will do as they wish but in front of the Wang family they must behave like a couple.”

Zhan understood, Yibo did not want his grandmother to be sad. He did it for his grandmother.

But this compensation was too much. Zhan felt somewhat guilty.

“Since you don’t want to be married to me, then this agreement is beneficial to you.”

Wang Yibo closed the laptop and finally looked at the boy’s face, which seemed even more unattractive after he put on makeup.

“Engage and as long as you don’t carry out your silly games of running away, and act in front of grandmother, I guarantee that after the engagement, your life will not be affected in any way.”

Zhan hesitated. He was not afraid that his life will be affected.

In any case, Young Master Wang was always so busy and will not bother with how I lived my life.

What I am afraid of it, the tragedy of my previous life will repeat.

This man can easily cause someone to sin!

No! Was I, Xiao Zhan, so unable to resist the temptations?

Wasn’t it only a man?

Finally, Zhan bit his lips and said, “Okay, I agree!”

This must be the best outcome. Zhan doesn’t have to escape and it’s not real engagement.

Two birds with one stone!

When Yibo saw Zhan sighing in relief, he felt somewhat inexplicably uncomfortable.

The agreement was suggested by him but when this boy found out that it’s a fake engagement, not only was he not upset, this boy was actually happy?

Boy’s attitude… really made the cold man feel a little uncomfortable.

Zanjin stood outside the door, as soon as he saw Zhan coming out of the room, he rushed over.

“Young Mrs, this… no matter what, today is your engagement, I hope that you can keep your spirits up…”

He hesitated. The agreement was drafted by him and he knew the details very clearly.

For a young boy to be informed during the day of his engagement, that his fiance and he will be acting for the elder to see.

In other words, which also meant that there would not be any passion between them.

For a little boy, this kind of thing would definitely be a huge blow.

He was slightly worried that the little boy would be unable to handle such a blow.

Zhan blinked at him, “I’m feeling great, why?”

“Young Mrs…” Zanjin analyzed Zhan’s expression, the sparkling eyes, smile and… he indeed wasn’t acting.

“You…”

“Zanjin, when did you become so motherly? Just say what you want, say it quickly!”

It’s seven now and in an hour the engagement banquet will begin.

Zhan was only being engaged, not married. So, the formalities won’t be as many.

Later after the entrance, the Wang Family Older Qiren and banquet host will announce and thereafter Yibo and Zhan will exchange the rings.

Zhan had another hour to eat the delicious food downstairs!

Zanjin was stammering but in reality, he just wanted to say a few words to comfort Zhan.

But, why did Young Mrs look so bright and didn’t need his comfort at all?

“Forget it, send me a message if there’s anything important.” Zhan decided not to wait, turned and left.

Zhan looked at the time on the phone, five past seven, the day will be over soon.

As long as he survived tonight, Jili’s tragedy would not happen.

But now, it’s slightly more than four hours till midnight. If Jili doesn’t leave the school, everything will be fine.

Half an hour ago, Jili sent him a message telling him that he was eating some noodles in the dorm.

After this, he’ll give him a nice treat as compensation…

Zhan walked with a bounce into the lift and Zanjin felt increasingly surprised.

He walked to the waiting room and saw Young Master still seated at the desk, smoking.

The agreement was clearly signed by Young Mrs but how was it that Young Mrs was happy and Young Master, who achieved his objective, was upset?

“Young Master.” Zanjin walked in and kept the agreement.

Since the agreement was signed, that meant that Young Master wouldn’t have to be entangled with Young Mrs. Isn’t this a good thing?

“Young Mrs, he…” Zanjin paused before continuing, “seems like he isn’t upset, Young Master, I think in future he won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Do you mean that my attractiveness has reversed to this extent? That boy was not interested in me at all?”

Yibo looked sullen, Zanjin felt a chill going down his spine.

This this this… what’s the meaning? Why does Young Master behave like he had been abandoned and looked like an abandoned wife?

Zanjin shook his head, suspecting that he saw wrongly. He looked again and Young Master already opened the laptop.

The unhappiness a moment ago seemed to disappear.

Should, perhaps, looks like… he really saw wrongly?

Young Master always hated ger and women who bother him. Now that Young Mrs will no longer trouble him, he should be happy, shouldn’t he?

It must be that he had seen wrongly.

Zanjin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Young Master…”

“Very funny?” The man narrowed his eyes.

“Ah!” Zanjin froze and his scalp went numb. “No, it’s not funny…”

“Copy this agreement a hundred times and finish it tomorrow morning.” Yibo closed his laptop, stood up, and repeated, “By hand.”

“Master… Young Master, why… why?” Zanjin felt weak in his legs and almost knelt. “Is … is there any problem with the agreement?”

Yibo stared at him coldly. He looked as if he wanted to tear him apart!

Zanjin started to retreat, “I’ll do it, it’ll be done by tomorrow!”

If Young Master wanted him to copy, then so be it. He still dared to ask why? Wasn’t this courting death?

It must be his handwriting was too ugly, which made the Young Master unhappy.

But, the agreement was printed. Wuwuwuwuwu a hundred copies… Who did he offend?

Yibo was frustrated. He walked to the window and looked at the night scenery. With a bang, he lit another cigarette.

That silly boy was so happy to sign the agreement!

He was not to disturb him. Why was there not a hint of disappointment?

Why did he not look sad at all?

Was he forcing a smile?

The worst part was he couldn’t detect that the boy’s smile was fake.

That little boy was actually very happy!

Was it because of the ten percent shares in Fairskin Chain, or because he said that after the engagement each can live as they wished, not affecting the other?

He was most frustrated with himself! He obtained what he wanted but yet had a feeling of abandonment.

He, Wang Yibo was ditched… it was truly inexplicable!!

***

Zhan had a small plate of cakes and had yet to find a place to sit down when a commotion broke out at the hotel entrance.

The men started to look towards the entrance and as soon as the woman enters, at least half of the men’s eyes lit up. Yangzi was here.

He knows how pretty his sister was, otherwise she wouldn’t be known as the first socialite in Beijing City.

But, what does this have to do with him? Zhan took his plate of cakes, sat at a corner and began to eat.

“Compared to your sister, you are like the mud on the floor.” A voice said beside him.

Zhan lifted his head and saw Haoxuan.

Zhan wasn’t angry but laughed and asked, “Second Master Wang, has your stomach recovered?”

Stomach’s injury!

“You!” Haoxuan’s expression darkened, and he almost lost control of himself!

This was the humiliation of a lifetime for him. Yibo actually punched him in front of so many people.

His breathing became deeper and his fists tightened up. He really wanted to punch this ugly boy in front of him and break his teeth!

However, even though he knew that this little boy was ugly beyond humans. But when he saw him, he couldn’t help but come over.

He doesn’t know which part of his brain was malfunctioning. Why was he mesmerized by him?

But each time he saw his ugly face clearly, he would immediately wake up.

“Ugly boy, don’t think that you will have an easy time in the Wang family, I won’t let you live in peace!” Haoxuan threatened.

Zhan blinked his big and innocent eyes, “It’s strange!”

“What’s strange?” Damn wild boy, what’s so good about a pair of eyes!

No! This face was so ugly that a person will lose his appetite!

Haoxuan forces himself to his senses.

Zhan laughed, “I’m engaging Young Master Wang and not you. So what’s it got to do with you whether I live in peace or not?”

Zhan laughed naively and looked a little foolish, but the look in his eyes seemed so wise.

Before Haoxuan could say anything, Zhan laughed, “You actually boasted shamelessly. Isn’t it strange that you said that you’ll not let me live in peace? Unless you still want to replace your brother and engage with me?”
