536 Trickery
Fortunately, Cao Yujin couldn't hear her thoughts.
If she had, she would question her aunt's mental capacity and ask her if she needed to be sent to a mental hospital.
Although marriages between blood-related families were heavily frowned upon by the modern world, it still exists somewhere and hasn't completely disappeared.
Besides, Cao Yujin's father, Cao Sheng, was not a pure Cao. Still, Cao Yujin was accepted due to her talents and excellent skills in running a business.
As for Song Yongrui, if one were to turn a blind eye to his incompetence and ignorance of the world, he could become a prince in the modern era.
After the meeting inside the room was adjourned, the rest of the people inside followed Cao Qing to interact with the guests in the hall.
"Qing'er, come here and greet Mr. Carcel. He is the owner of the biggest winery company in Germany," as soon as Cao Qing went down to the bustling hall, he was caught by one of his aunts, who remained there to stall time and converse with the guests.
Cao Qing stepped forward, eyes falling on the loving couple that were stealthily holding hands in the far right corner, and smiled.
If Han'ge heard of his sacrifice tonight, will he give him a bonus on New Year's? Cao Qing thought excitedly.
Keeping up the obedient and amiable persona was tiring.
At the start, Cao Qing was growing bored of remaining such a tricky persona, and he even wanted to shed the mask he used to keep himself entertained. However, Song Yu Han's sudden arrival and plans halted his previous intentions of coming out of his sly self.
Song Yu Han, who had just been announced as a missing member of the Song family to the high-class elites, made Cao Qing realize at one glance that he wasn't alone in this world.
Someone with the same scent he possessed truly exists.
And that scent came from Song Yu Han.
"Hello, Mr. Carcel. It's a pleasure to meet you," he greeted the blonde haired man very politely.
After a couple of minutes entertaining the other guests that gathered around him, Cao Qing finally moved to where Song Yu Han and Ran Xueyi were standing by a small, round table.
"And here I thought the two of you had already left seeing how you can't keep your hands to yourselves," Cao Qing said with an eyebrow raised.
Song Yu Han glanced at him nonchalantly and replied, "The things we need to get done are not finished yet."
"Speaking of which, have you finished what I told you to do?" Song Yu Han added.
Cao Qing grinned and confidently said, "I already planted a seed in my grandfather's mind. Although there's little chance he will act upon it, grandfather cannot let the Song family, this big piece of meat, slip out of his hands."
He could never understand how Song Yu Han could guess a person's mind. A few hours ago, after he found out that the Cao family had the intention to force him (SYH) to marry Cao Yujin, Song Yu Han asked him (CQ) to mention the things he said in the short meeting earlier.
Of course, the script and acting was Cao Qing's responsibility. And his instigation against Song Yongrui was just him letting his real self out to play with everyone.
"Grandfather might do something to break your marriage apart. So, be careful during this time," Cao Qing warned them beforehand.
Song Yu Han and Ran Xueyi nodded.
They already knew that Old Patriarch Cao wouldn't easily give up on Song Yu Han just because Cao Qing mentioned an alternative solution to his problem, which was to get Song Yongrui and Cao Yujin paired up. Even if Song Yu Han was married, how easy could it be for him to drive them apart and get them to divorce?
Past, present, and future. Money and power could buy anything in this world.
Serving violence was the last resort.
"Anyway, I must go. My time's currently reserved the entire night so you can reach out to me tomorrow," Cao Qing bid his farewell to the love birds, perceiving a deathly glare that was pointed at him.
At this point, Cao Yujin, who couldn't recover from the shock of the news that Song Yu Han was married, finally came down to confront Cao Qing.
She didn't even notice Song Yu Han or Ran Xueyi because she was seething with anger and directly grabbed Cao Qing by the arm.
"What are you doing?" she demanded.
"Ow! You're twisting my arm, cousin." Cao Qing moved away, but still got caught by her.
"Why did you say those words to grandfather earlier? Are you out of your mind? Don't you already know how much I wanted to be Song Yu Han's wife?" Cao Yujin gritted her teeth in anger.
Cao Qing's eyes sneakily glanced at the two lovebirds who were not too far from them. He snickered inwardly when they froze, but displayed an aggrieved expression on his face.
Had Ran Xueyi not learned of his two-facedness, she would actually recruit him to her entertainment company and bring him back to become an actor!
"Cousin, in the entire Cao family, who doesn't know your obsession towards Song Yu Han?" Cao Qing kept his act. He added, "But let's be honest, it's not possible for the two of you now that he's married."
"That's for me to worry about!" Cao Yujin growled. "Don't you know who I am? I am Cao Yujin. Those slutty women who dares to think that Song Yu Han belongs to them will know what happens when they face me!"
"But I still can't forgive you for trying to suggest a marriage between me and that moron Song Yongrui!" she quickly added.
Cao Qing wanted to laugh at her current state of almost losing her mind over that, but as much as he wanted to roll on the ground while laughing, he couldn't tear his mask off his face.
Thus, he moved closer and whispered, "Then, what do you want me to do?"
As if she was waiting for him to pose this question to her, Cao Qing smiled eerily, almost looking like a witch in a fairy tale movie, "Find the woman that Song Yu Han married and bring her to me."
"Oh? And what are you planning to do when you get her?" Cao Qing lost his interest when he heard this. Cao Yujin's ideas were too predictable.
He glanced forward where he could see Song Yu Han and Ran Xueyi watching them, listening attentively to their words, before winking at them when Cao Yujin was not looking at him.
As expected, she said, "Since she could seduce Song Yu Han, I'll make her seduce as many men as she wants!"
Dare to take the man she wanted? Cao Yujin will make that woman know the taste of being played around before she kills her!
