Chapter 100 Bao Yiting's Escape from Marriage

Liang Zhan stomped his feet twice and coughed, finally attracting Fu Yingzhou's attention.

"Liang Zhan is here, I'm going back to my room. Bye, Xiao Cao."

Liang Zhan: Tsk, another day of broadening my horizons with the boss.

Shi Shi hung up the phone. Aunt Sun then brought out dessert.

Girls have three stomachs: one for meals, one for snacks, and one for fruit.

Even though I ate a big dinner, what does it have to do with me eating a small cake? As long as Shi Shi thinks about it, she can always find a reason to convince herself.

Shishi has been too busy these past few days and hasn't had time to unpack any packages. A huge pile has accumulated and is now sitting at the front door.

She picked up a small stool and a utility knife and started taking apart the boxes. Aunt Zhang, who was passing by, saw her surrounded by cardboard boxes and jokingly said, "You could run a junkyard by yourself."

When they were halfway through unpacking, Bao Yiting arrived. "Sister! You bought such a big house without even telling me!" she said, and then pulled Shishi around the house from the inside out.

"I told you that jerk was your nemesis. You've been doing better and better since the divorce! Tell me, do you want a housewarming gift? I'll get you one."

"I can't think of anything for now. It seems like I don't lack anything."

Bao Yiting shook her arm indifferently: "Tell me when you think of something."

"You're quite a character today, aren't you? Did the sun rise in the west? You actually came to stay at my place?"

Hearing Shishi's question, she stood up and spun around in front of Shishi.

"Did you notice anything wrong with my outfit today?"

When she heard this, Shi Shi really felt something was off: "Did you attend some event? Why are you dressed so formally?"

Today, Bao Yiting wore an evening gown. She's not very tall, so a long dress would inevitably look cumbersome. Therefore, the hem of the gown only reached her knees.

Sister, I got engaged today!

"What the hell! Who are you talking to?!"

Ignoring her fuss, Bao Yiting sat back down on the sofa, grabbed a strawberry, and popped it into her mouth: "Who else could it be but cutting off unwanted suitors!"

“My parents are forcing me to get engaged to him, so I ruined the engagement ceremony today and came here to take refuge.” After saying that, she took out her phone and handed it to Shi Shi.

Good heavens, over 50 missed calls! Her parents must be furious.

"What happened? Tell me in detail."

Bao Yiting clutched the cushion tightly to her chest: "A batch of our goods has been seized. They say the documents are incomplete. But the delivery date is too short. If we wait for them to investigate step by step, it will be too late. The penalty for breach of contract is not a small amount. If we can't deliver on time, the penalty will tie up all of the company's working capital."

"Zhan Taohua proposed to me at this very moment."

Zhan Taohua is the famous name of Zhan Taohua.

Shishi frowned. "You mean, they were the ones who did it this time?"

“My dad thinks so. But this kind of thing is an open conspiracy. They didn’t say they would confiscate your goods, they just said they were investigating. They’ll put you under pressure for a while, then return the goods to you. You won’t be able to find any evidence against them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have forced me to get engaged to him.”

"Then what about your goods?"

“I’m not that stupid. The goods were released yesterday. Otherwise, don’t even think about letting me show up at today’s engagement ceremony.”

Seeing Bao Yiting's dejected expression, Shishi asked worriedly, "How was the engagement canceled?"

"I didn't cancel the engagement, how could I have that ability?" After she finished speaking, she spread her hands innocently.

Shi Shi grabbed a cushion next to her and hit her leg: "When you're with me, what are you trying to fool me about?"

"His little lover attempted suicide today. Since she didn't even attend the engagement ceremony, it was obviously canceled."

"You did this?"

"Yeah, it cost me the money from two of my cars to just get him a few scrapes."

"Are you crazy! Won't someone find out?"

Seeing that Shishi had misunderstood, Bao Yiting explained to her, "I'll pay for it, and the man will fake his suicide. Don't worry, only my parents guessed it. What are you thinking, sister? I wouldn't dare do anything illegal."

"That's good, that's good." Hearing him say that, Shi Shi felt relieved.

Wait, a man?

"Did I hear that right? You just said a man?"

Seeing Shi Shi's shock, Bao Yiting calmly said, "You're making a fuss over nothing. Zhan Taohua is a two-way man. If I didn't find him disgusting, I would feel really uncomfortable. Marrying him is fine, but if I don't marry him, I'll have to marry someone else anyway. It's all the same."

Shi Shi didn't know what to say, so she put her arm around Bao Yiting's shoulder and said, "There's always a way out. There will always be a solution."

"Alright, I didn't even think about it. You seem more upset than I am. Let's talk about something else. Speaking of which, you've bought such a big house, why not have a housewarming party? Invite all your friends and classmates over. Organize more gatherings; if I can meet a few more big shots, maybe I'll find true love. Wouldn't everything then fall into place?"

Shishi originally didn't want to throw a party; she's never been one for crowds. But Bao Yiting's words seemed to make sense. If they could really find someone of higher status than the Zhan family, everything would be solved.

Let's do it!

"Let's draft a list right away. How about this Saturday? Let's invite everyone over."

Seeing the facts, Bao Yiting readily agreed, looking very excited. She also picked up a pen and paper and began to draft a list for her.

“Rui Rui, Lu Qi, and Lei Lei are off this weekend, let her fly over! Oh, and do you want to invite Zhao Xiao too?”

"Just invite him. We've already notified the whole class. What would it look like if we deliberately didn't invite him? We could just invite Zhang Yumin too." Besides, Zhao Xiao had even helped her set up Gu Yanting. He hadn't explicitly said anything to her, so if she didn't invite him, it would seem like she was guilty.

"Besides our classmates, could you also add Gu Yanting's name to the list?"

Bao Yiting was writing on one side, and Shi Shi was also listing names on her side.

Let's invite all the company employees! The band members too. Let's invite Xiang Xinran and Shen He. And a few close classmates from junior and senior high school, and university colleagues. Let's invite Yi Cheng and Zi Jing too, just in time to find out what they've been up to lately.

"There are about fifty people in total. Even if only half of them show up, there would still be close to thirty. And there might be even more people with their girlfriends!"

"It's too late today, let's do it tomorrow. We'll split up and make the calls. You help me notify Peking University. I'll handle the rest myself. Once we have the number of attendees, I'll find a party company."

After the two had finished talking, Bao Yiting looked up and saw that it was already past 12 o'clock.

"Go to sleep early. Anyway, I can't go back to the company, I'm just a free man, let's talk again tomorrow."

Even after Shishi drifted off to sleep, they still hadn't decided whether or not to invite Fu Yingzhou to participate.
