Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 256
Time flowed like water. Jiang Yingyue spent her days working with Han Qingshan as his assistant, and when the results of the university entrance exams were announced, she was ranked second.
Last year she was ranked first. This time, she was ranked second. She did not feel that it was unjust.
Although she had been studying on her own to do her best, it was still some time since she had gotten any formal education about the subjects, so second place was already very well in her mind.
Han Qingshan was also immensely proud of her, and the day the exam results were announced, he and his parents held a banquet to celebrate her success. Even Han Weisheng had come to celebrate her performance.
Life was flourishing for Jiang Yingyue, and soon the time for university began. Han Qingshan had graduated and was entirely focused on the Han Corporation in the future. At the same time, Jiang Yingyue was going to study the subject that she had wanted to study for a long time – psychology..
Life on campus was much simpler now that she could be herself. She no longer needed to maintain a certain distance from people, and always fear for her secrets being unmasked.
She found a group of friends in her year, all of which were women of ordinary backgrounds, but with ambitions and hopes for the future.
Although their friendship was not one that had grown over many years, they felt very comfortable amongst one another, and none of them were jealous when they found out that Jiang Yingyue’s partner was Han Qingshan.
Although Jiang Yingyue had planned to keep a more low-profile life now, she had forgotten how immense Han Qingshan’s presence was on everyone else.
The students of the Imperial University all knew his Porsche, and after getting into it a few times, everyone was aware that Jiang Yingyue was Han Qingshan’s woman.
Her life on campus was fun. She met up with Han Qingshan’s cousins every once in a while, went shopping with her new friends, found a part-time intern job at a private psychologist, and life was flourishing for her.
She also met up with Zhou Yan, but it was not often, and after a bit of time, he went to bid his farewell. He was returning to the country where his family had their main operations.
Ever since he had withdrawn, Starry Sky Entertainment had been unable to cause any stir in the entertainment circle, and the stockholder surnamed Gou of Imperial World, had to give up his plans on acquiring more stocks of the company and was forced to accept his lot in life.
Every day Jiang Yingyue would return home tired but fulfilled. She was happier than ever before; she felt that she was living life to the fullest and that nothing could break her happiness.
Han Qingshan was also often tired when he returned home from work. Although he had not taken over the position as CEO of the Han Corporation, Han Liqiang was preparing him to take over; he was getting him ready to become the new leader of their empire.
But although life was busy for both of them, they never forgot to spend time together. They adored one another, and they were full of love for each other, their every action so pampering that others felt as if they were already a married couple.
It was small things like Jiang Yingyue cooking small snacks or brewing some tea late at night to ensure that Han Qingshan was not starving when working late.
How she would not go to sleep before he finished his work, and always waited for him.
He, on the other hand, was always there to pick her up from university whenever he had the time. He was pampering and spoiling her, showering her with his love.
Like this, a year passed, and it was time for the family banquet to appear again. This time the family banquet was different from the years before, it was also made into an engagement party, so while the Han family was sure to be there, others from the upper ranks in society had also been invited.
This was the time where the Han family was going to publicly inform the rest of the world about Han Qingshan’s engagement.
Up until the banquet, Han Qingshan was incredibly busy. He was preparing the engagement ring, the gifts, the invitations, and everything else personally. He wanted Jiang Yingyue to have the absolute best.
An invitation to the engagement party had also been sent to the He family, and while He Yuyan was seemingly docile recently, her insides were so full of hatred that she was not sure what to do, she thought she was going to explode soon.
She spotted the invitation on her brother’s table, and without him noticing it, she stole it.
She had no intention of letting Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue have a happy ending. She was going to ruin their engagement party!
But first, she had to come up with a foolproof plan. She could not just show up and make a scene, as that would cause a bit of dissatisfaction but no lasting pain.
She wanted them to suffer as she had suffered! She wanted them to live in agony. If she could not have Han Qingshan, then no one could!
And that cheap woman, Jiang Yingyue, she was going to realize that the upper society was not a place for her. In fact, she was going to destroy her since she thought of taking this Han Qingshan away from her.
Thinking like this, manic laughter began escaping He Yuyan’s mouth. She was looking forward to the engagement ceremony.
