I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 182
182 Brother’s Fall
Sang Minglang almost choked and coughed violently.
After a few seconds, he finally stopped coughing. “Did you go to the hospital to look for my sister? Or did you come to our place?”
“It’s the latter,” Shen Hanyu replied calmly.
“The latter?”
!!
Sang Minglang stared at Shen Hanyu in disbelief. “Don’t tell me you’ve moved into the house next door? Did my sister see you?”
“Yes,” Shen Hanyu replied.
It was worse than simply seeing him; she saw him with Fang Lan.
“Shen Hanyu, what are you doing?”
Sang Minglang’s expression darkened. “Didn’t I tell you not to appear in front of my sister for the time being?”
“I’m in the capital looking for someone,” Shen Hanyu answered honestly. “I have some business to take care of.”
“If you’re looking for someone, you can stay in a hotel. Why do you have to stay next door?”
“It’s for convenience. There’s a set of top-of-the-line computer equipment in that house, which is the perfect thing we need.”
Shen Hanyu explained, “The other party came very late and we left early in the morning. At that time, I didn’t expect to run into Qianqian.”
Sang Minglang asked sensitively, “what do you mean? So you weren’t the only one who stayed in your house last night, but there were others? Was it a male or female?”
“Female,” Shen Hanyu replied after two seconds of silence.
Sang Minglang was simply infuriated.
No wonder Sang Qianqian looked so dejected when she returned last night. She must have discovered something last night.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have looked as if she was possessed last night!
“Shen Hanyu, what do you want me to say about you?”
Sang Minglang’s face darkened. “You clearly know how my sister is feeling right now, yet you purposely brought a woman to stay next door for a night. Are you intentionally trying to provoke her?”
Shen Hanyu’s eyes were filled with helplessness. “I really didn’t expect such a coincidence.”
Sang Minglang was so angry that he had completely lost his appetite. The lunchbox in his hands was thrown into the rubbish bin with a ‘Clang!’. “Fine, you can settle the matter between you and my sister yourself. If my sister really misunderstands, then it’s your own fault. You can’t blame anyone else.”
“I’ll explain it to her in the future.”
Shen Hanyu said unhurriedly, “What about you, Big Brother? It’s so cold nowadays, and you’re still letting her take a taxi to work?”
“What, are you here to settle scores on behalf of my sister?”
Sang Minglang laughed in anger, “It’s a very cold day, so what’s wrong with taking a taxi? My sister even cooks for me every day.”
He cast a sidelong glance at Shen Hanyu. “I do abuse my sister. But what can you do about it?”
Actually, Sang Minglang could still be considered a qualified brother.
Especially in the capital, he was worried about Sang Qianqian and would send her to work almost every day. Even if he couldn’t pick her up at night, he would arrange for an assistant or company driver to pick her up.
The family also hired a part-time helper, but Sang Qianqian seemed to like cooking by herself.
Occasionally, when she came back early, she would take the initiative to help with the cooking. On the weekends, she did not allow the part-time workers to come. She would cook three meals a day in the name of practicing her cooking skills.
But Sang Minglang did not want to tell Shen Hanyu about this.
Thinking about how Shen Hanyu had appeared in front of his sister with a woman, and how his sister had been so agitated last night, Sang Minglang was really angry.
The air was silent for a moment.
Shen Hanyu said calmly, “I thought you would be considerate of her. It’s my fault.”
Sang Minglang was speechless.
Was he indirectly scolding him?
“My sister is more independent than you think. Shen Hanyu, you should stick to our agreement and stay out of our business in the capital.”
Sang Minglang was not in a good mood, “During this period of time, don’t appear in front of my sister. I don’t want her to find out that I’m in cahoots with you and even staying in the house you arranged for me. If that happens, she won’t even acknowledge me as her brother anymore.”
Shen Hanyu furrowed his brows and nodded. “Alright,” he said.

The next day was a Saturday.
She didn’t know if it was because she didn’t sleep the entire night before, but when Sang Qianqian woke up, she felt a little dizzy and her voice was a little hoarse, as if she was about to catch a cold.
When she went downstairs, she realized that there was a new member in the house.
A middle-aged woman with a simple and kind smile respectfully called her, “Miss Sang.”
This surprised Sang Qianqian. She looked at Sang Minglang, who was sitting on the sofa and typing on the computer, “Brother, this is?
“It’s the new auntie, Auntie Zhao,”
Sang Minglang’s expression didn’t look too good, “Oh right, there’s an additional chauffeur now. In the future, he’ll be in charge of sending you to and from work.”
Sang Qianqian was a little taken aback, but she was soon amused. “Brother, why are you being so good to me?”
“It’s not that I’m being good to you, it’s…”
Sang Minglang paused. “I’m simply afraid that something might happen to you. Didn’t you see the news of online car booking that was all over the internet a few days ago?”
Sang Qianqian had also seen the news. A few days ago, a girl had tried to hail a cab, but the driver of the cab had tried to do something to her, causing the girl to jump out of the car and be seriously injured.
She laughed and said, “That’s just an accident. Don’t worry too much, Brother. Most of the cab drivers are fine.”
Sang Minglang thought to himself, ‘That’s right. I don’t want to worry too, but that ex-husband of yours is forcing me to worry.’
Shen Hanyu was a real dog. Sang Minglang had told him not to meddle in their business, but Shen Hanyu had sent his men to their house.
Moreover, he even sent him a news link about the girl jumping out of the car.
Not only that, but he also sent over a news collection of all sorts of accidents that happened to single women when they took a taxi, causing Sang Minglang to be under pressure early in the morning.
Shen Hanyu was really good at psychological tactics.
The siblings had their breakfast.
Sang Minglang took his car keys and prepared to leave. “I still have to go to the company to work overtime today. I have a dinner meeting with my partners tonight, so you don’t have to wait for me to have dinner.”
Sang Qianqian nodded. After seeing her brother off, she went back to her room to read some professional books for a long time. Auntie Zhao knocked on her door and asked her to have lunch.
She did not know if it was because Sang Minglang had specially instructed her, but the dishes that Auntie Zhao made were all her favorite.
For some reason, she was quite touched.
Her brother was always a little insensitive. Although he usually doted on her, sometimes he actually wouldn’t notice some very small details.
However, her brother was really considerate of her on this trip to Beijing.
It was a pity that she didn’t have a good appetite, so she didn’t eat much of Auntie Zhao’s food.
In the afternoon, she felt that her head was getting heavier, so she climbed into bed and planned to sleep for a while.
In the end, she slept all the way until evening. Just as she was feeling groggy, Ruan Xiaoshuang called her. “Qianqian, I’m already waiting for you at the restaurant. Are you coming soon?”
Sang Qianqian then remembered that Ruan Xiaoshuang had a dinner date with her and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Sister Xiaoshuang. I forgot. I’m on my way now.”
The moment she opened her mouth, Ruan Xiaoshuang was shocked. “Why is your voice so hoarse?”
“Maybe I caught a cold.” Sang Qianqian’s intuition told her that she was running a fever, and it was not a light one.
“Then don’t come. Have a good rest.” Ruan Xiaoshuang said, “It’ll be the same if we meet another day.”
Sang Qianqian was indeed not feeling well, so she didn’t insist.
There was no medicine prepared in her residence in Beijing. Therefore, she called Auntie Zhao over and asked her to help buy a thermometer and fever medicine. Soon, she fell asleep again.
—
In a famous restaurant in Beijing.
Ruan Xiaoshuang hung up the phone and got up to leave.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a familiar tall figure in a suit and leather shoes. He was surrounded by a few people as he entered a private room.
Those people seemed to be very respectful to him. They carefully smiled as they greeted him, “President Sang.”
President Sang… Sang Minglang?
