I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot Chapter 121 His Name Is Xie Shi'an

121 His Name Is Xie s.h.i.+’an

In a rather quiet restaurant, Sang Qianqian and Ruan Xiaoshuang sat opposite each other.

Sang Qianqian apologized carefully, “Sister Xiaoshuang, I’m sorry. My brother isn’t usually like this. Although he has a bad temper, he is still quite gentlemanly in front of girls. He has never said vulgarities. I don’t know why he took the wrong medicine today…”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were still red, but she tried to smile. “I know, he wasn’t like this before.”

“Then you and my brother…”

“I’m the one who let your brother down first,” Ruan Xiaoshuang said sadly. She was once Sang Minglang’s schoolmate, two years younger than him.

Young men and women in foreign countries met by chance and fell in love with each other. At the peak of their love, the two even thought of getting married.

That pair of rings was originally Sang Minglang’s proposal ring. At that time, he didn’t have much money, but he took out all the money he had on hand along with his living expenses for the next three months to buy that pair of silver rings.

That year, Ruan Xiaoshuang had just turned twenty while Sang Minglang was twenty-two.

The two of them really planned to get their marriage certificate abroad, but in this world, not everything would go as planned.

On the night before they were supposed to get their marriage certificate, Ruan Xiaoshuang received a call from home saying that her brother was seriously ill.

She returned to the country overnight, and Sang Minglang sent her to the airport. They bid each other farewell and agreed to wait for her to return before they went to register their marriage. However, Ruan Xiaoshuang never returned.

Her big brother was the pillar of the family. Once something happened, the family’s foundation would be on the verge of collapse. In order to save the Ruan family, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s mother arranged a marriage for her.

Ruan Xiaoshuang had no choice but to send an email to Sang Minglang with tears in her eyes.

“I’m going to marry into a rich family. Let’s break up.”

One could imagine the blow that Sang Minglang had suffered.

Sang Qianqian finally understood why her brother had gotten into a fight and gotten into a car accident when he was about to graduate.

“You didn’t contact my brother, and he didn’t look for you after that?”

“He probably did, but it’s impossible for him to find me.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang said bitterly, “I never told him that my home is in Beijing.”

Other than her name, Sang Minglang knew nothing about her.

After she sent the email, she never logged in to that email again. After she got someone to settle the withdrawal procedures, she stopped using that phone and completely disappeared from Sang Minglang’s life.

Even if Sang Minglang wanted to find her, he had no way of doing so. Sang Qianqian sighed in her heart. “Then, did you really get married in the end?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang shook her head. “No.”

This was how fate played with people. She was already prepared to get married, but then her brother, Ruan Cheng, woke up.

When her big brother woke up, the originally shaky situation had also stabilized. Knowing that she didn’t want to get married, her big brother directly canceled the engagement.

Ruan Xiaoshuang had gone to a school overseas to look for Sang Minglang, only to find out that he had already graduated and returned home.

Moreover, he had stopped using his original mobile phone number and couldn’t be contacted at all. When they were together, they had never mentioned each other’s families.

However, Sang Minglang had once told Ruan Xiaoshuang that he had a younger sister called Qianqian. When they were in high school, he would always speak in a doting tone whenever he mentioned his younger sister.

But with just this name, in the vast sea of people, where could she find it?

“Actually, it’s not that I couldn’t find him. It’s your brother who misled me.”

Thinking of the past, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s tone was a little sad. “Your brother was in school and had a hard time. He had to work several part-time jobs. In order to save money, he always ate hamburgers, and I would take him to a restaurant to eat good food. I’ve always thought that he came from a poor family.”

As such, after returning to the country, Ruan Xiaoshuang had never linked Sang Minglang to the Sang family’s Hongyuan Group as reported by the media.

It was only a few years ago that she saw on the internet that the Sang family’s Hongyuan group had gone bankrupt and that the eldest daughter of the Sang family, Sang Qianqian, had pa.s.sed away. This news caused a huge commotion.

She rushed to Ming City almost immediately, but found that the Sang family’s Hongyuan group had long been empty. The people from the Sang family were nowhere to be found.

Even the Sang family’s old house had been sold.

Ruan Xiaoshuang couldn’t find Sang Minglang and returned to the hotel, both physically and mentally exhausted. She didn’t know why, but she logged into the email box she had sent to Sang Minglang many years ago.

In the end, she found an unread email lying quietly in her mailbox. The email had been sent many years ago, a few minutes after she had sent the breakup email.

In other words, when he first saw her breakup email, Sang Minglang had replied to her almost immediately. In her breakup email, she only said one sentence: she was going to marry into a rich family.

His reply to her was a total of two sentences.

He said, “Xiaoshuang, my father is Sang Pengcheng, the President of Ming City’s Hongyuan Group. If you want to marry into a rich family, you should marry me. I beg you, Xiaoshuang.”

The moment Ruan Xiaoshuang saw these words, she burst into tears and cried for almost the entire night.

“I thought that I would never meet your brother again. I didn’t expect to see him again because of you.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s tone was gratified. She was already very happy to see him. She did owe him too much and hurt him too deeply. She couldn’t blame him for his bad att.i.tude.

Sang Qianqian’s emotions were extremely complicated. She didn’t expect her brother to have gone through so much. He had suffered so much alone.

It was no wonder that he had been working tirelessly all these years, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He wanted to make the Sang family bigger and stronger, and that was why his reaction to the Sang family moving out of Ming City was so intense.

No wonder none of his girlfriends could last longer than three months, and he never brought them home. His att.i.tude toward relations.h.i.+ps was so perfunctory.

It turned out that all of this was because of Ruan Xiaoshuang.

“Your brother, he’s…”

Ruan Xiaoshuang wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she still said, “Why is he still living in such a place?”

Sang Qianqian didn’t know how to answer this question and could only reply vaguely, “My brother doesn’t want to live with me. He said he wants to live there alone.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang was silent for a long time before she opened her wallet and took out a card. “There’s some money here. Help me pa.s.s it to your brother secretly. Don’t tell him that I gave it to him. Tell him… To stop eating those unhealthy foods. He should still eat vegetables and fruits.”

She paused. “If he wants to do something, the money inside is enough for him to use as capital.”

As Sang Qianqian held the card, she was inexplicably reminded of what happened many years ago.

She brought her father’s secretary to see Guo Muyang and gave him a check for 100 million Yuan. With this, she asked him to find a way to give Shen Hanyu a t.i.tle and not tell him that she was the one who gave Guo Muyang the check.

Those past events were so similar to what she was seeing now.

On the way back.

Sang Qianqian wanted to talk about something more relaxing. “Uncle Guo said that you were the one who recommended Hanyu to see Director Xue in Yuecheng?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang nodded. “Yes, I have a friend who works in a hospital in Yuecheng. He helped introduce Director Xue to me.”

“What’s the name of your friend?”

Sang Qianqian casually asked, “Which department is he from? Maybe I’ve seen him before. After all, I also work in that hospital.”

“He has already resigned from that place.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang smiled and said, “His name is Xie s.h.i.+’an. Qianqian, do you know him?”
