Chapter 82: Who Will You Choose?

~7 min read 1,393 words

A single word awakens the dreamer.

Lin Yeman's words directly cleared Shen Huai's Ren and Du meridians.

That's right.

Previously, he did not know the relationship between Star Shine and the Yang Family.

So, he went to work at this company purely to prevent Shen Zhiyuan from interfering in his life.

Looking at Shen Zhiyuan's furious expression last night.

Shen Huai was still feeling stifled, thinking that the job he had worked so hard to get might have to be resigned from.

But now it was different.

With this connection, he had a legitimate reason to stay at Star Shine! "You mean, you want me to tell my father that I went to work at Star Shine to pursue the Yang Family's daughter?"

"Smart." Lin Yeman nodded with satisfaction.

"This move of yours is brilliant."

Shen Huai suddenly underwent a 180-degree turn, his mood instantly improving.

"Then I shall treat Star Shine as my safe haven."

His eyes rolled, and he leaned toward Lin Yeman with a wicked smile: "Then Team Leader Lin wouldn't mind me pulling some strings, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yeman hooked her arm around Shen Huai's neck and gave him a dragonfly-light kiss on the lips: "Did you pull few enough strings yesterday?"

Shen Huai's eye twitched: "You really are shameless."

Lin Yeman chuckled and pushed Shen Huai away, slowly and methodically tidying her clothes: "I've heard a saying."

"What kind of person you are, you will attract the same kind of person."

"You say I'm shameless, then how serious can you be?"

Buttoning up the top button.

Lin Yeman stepped to the door, gave Shen Huai a look, and then turned the door handle.

"Sister, have you been waiting long?"

"……Hmm, not too long." Yang Lan's gaze swept over Lin Yeman, and she couldn't help but glance behind her, "Is there anyone else in your room?"

"No one, why?"

"But why did I feel like I heard you talking to someone just now?" Yang Lan still looked puzzled.

"You heard wrong, Sister; there were too many mosquitoes, and I couldn't help but mutter to myself and curse a few times."

Lin Yeman stood with her hands behind her back, blinking and shrugging at Yang Lan.

Yang Lan's eyes darkened, and she looked inside again, "Really no one?"

"Really." Lin Yeman nodded vigorously.

"……Alright then."

The atmosphere was as awkward now as it was bold last night.

Yang Lan turned silently and gestured with her chin to the side: "Let's go, Father and Uncle Shen are still waiting for us to have breakfast."

"Wait a moment, Sister."

Lin Yeman suddenly called out to her from behind.

Yang Lan stopped and turned back to look at Lin Yeman.

Lin Yeman scrutinized her, paused for a moment, and then got to the point, "Actually, I wanted to confirm one last thing with you."

"Last night you told me that you were very satisfied with Shen Huai and were determined to have him."

"Are you serious?"

Lin Yeman looked deeply at Yang Lan, her eyes flickering.

Upon hearing this, Yang Lan carelessly raised her hand to sweep her hair back and smiled enchantingly: "Manman, I like Shen Huai, is that very strange?"

"A graduate of an Ivy League University, son of the richest man, outstanding appearance, and generous in speech."

"With such an excellent man, what reason do I have not to like him?"

As Yang Lan spoke, the corners of her eyes lifted, and she looked at Lin Yeman with a serious expression.

Lin Yeman's expression dimmed.

Seeming to hesitate about something, she finally sighed and said: "You don't really believe Uncle Shen's words, do you?"

"These are all fake."

To dispel Yang Lan's favorable impression of Shen Huai, Lin Yeman decided to reveal everything:

"Shen Huai did not graduate from Harvard University, but attended Jianghai University of Science and Technology, which is the same school I attended."

"Although he is the son of the richest man, he has been living the life of an ordinary person under an assumed name; whether the Shen Family will eventually pass the family fortune to him remains an unknown." "As for his outstanding appearance and generous speech, these are double-edged swords."

"You don't really believe he has only dated three girlfriends, do you?"

After Lin Yeman finished speaking in one breath, she stared straight at Yang Lan, attempting to see a change in expression on her face.

Unfortunately.

Yang Lan's eyes did not ripple in the slightest because of these words from Lin Yeman from beginning to end.

"What do you mean by telling me these things?"

Yang Lan tilted her head, her gaze profound as she said: "You wouldn't be trying to get me to give up on Shen Huai voluntarily, would you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yeman felt a bit guilty.

She did have some of that intention in saying these things.

But on the other hand, she also didn't want Yang Lan to be kept in the dark forever.

Telling the truth and letting her make her own choice was also a form of respect for her sister.

It was just that being called out so directly by Yang Lan made Lin Yeman's expression stiffen slightly, and she couldn't quite keep her composure for a moment.

The next moment.

Yang Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"Manman, you don't think that I don't know what you're talking about, do you?"

Yang Lan raised her eyes slyly: "I have already sent people to investigate Shen Huai's basic information clearly."

"There are only two things I didn't find out, and even less did I anticipate."

"... What things?" Lin Yeman asked stiffly, her eyes full of surprise.

"One, is his identity as the Heir of the Shen Group."

"But that's not strange; after all, the Shen Family spent so much effort to suppress the news, so it's understandable that a short-term investigation yielded no results."

"As for the other one," Yang Lan propped up her chin, her gaze toward Lin Yeman becoming even more playful, "it's that I didn't expect my own younger sister to also be one of Shen Huai's ex-girlfriends."

"This actually makes me feel strange; logically speaking, wild geese leave tracks, and the wind leaves a sound."

Yang Lan looked at Lin Yeman in confusion: "But how did you two hide it so deeply? You couldn't have been dating in secret and never made it public, could you?"

In an instant.

Lin Yeman's pupils trembled.

She looked at the beauty before her, who was smiling so innocently and romantically, in utter shock.

There was actually a moment.

She felt that this Yang Lan before her was incredibly unfamiliar, as if she had been possessed by someone she didn't know.

She actually knew? She actually knew everything?!

When did she start investigating? And how much did she investigate? Lin Yeman's eyes sank abruptly.

Oh sister, my dear sister, I really underestimated you.

So you had your sights set on Shen Huai from the very beginning.

It had absolutely nothing to do with which company he was the young master of, or whether he was a fresh graduate from some academy.

This sister of hers simply did not care!

What she wanted, from beginning to end, was Shen Huai the person! Amidst Lin Yeman's shocked expression.

Yang Lan gently pulled her hand over, stood slightly on tiptoe, and whispered in her ear: "Sister apologizes to you; my perspective was narrow-minded last night."

"It is inevitable for an excellent person to be pursued by many."

"Since my sister and I have taken a fancy to the same person, doesn't that also indirectly show that my taste is quite good?"

Yang Lan blinked her sparkling eyes and said: "Let the two of us compete fairly."

Com-compete? Lin Yeman's expression changed abruptly.

Does this mean... she is openly issuing a challenge to her? "Sister, are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

A confident light flickered in Yang Lan's eyes: "I believe that Shen Huai will definitely choose me in the end."

Lin Yeman narrowed her eyes, glanced slightly to the side, and cast a meaningful look at the tightly closed door behind her.

"Since sister is so certain, then let's do it."

"I also really want to see, who exactly will Shen Huai choose in the end?"
