Villain: The Heroine Overheard My Thoughts and Her Persona Collapsed

Seeing her bestie staring blankly at Tang Yu for a while without any reaction, Liu Ruyan nudged her gently with her elbow and joked, "Hey girl, why aren't you responding when my brother says hi? Don't get dumbstruck just because you see a handsome guy."

Only after Liu Ruyan's nudge did Yun Shishi snap back to reality. She smiled awkwardly and extended her delicate hand to shake Tang Yu's, saying, "You're Tang Yu, right? Ruyan has mentioned you to me several times."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but linger on Tang Yu's face. She and Liu Ruyan had been best friends since childhood, sharing everything with each other. They had no secrets between them, and even their interests and hobbies were identical. Except for their looks, they were like twin sisters.

Not long ago, Liu Ruyan suddenly sent her a photo, claiming she had met the man destined for her. After seeing it, she indeed thought the man was incredibly handsome. However, seeing him in person today, she realized he had even more charisma than in the photo. No wonder her bestie, who had always been picky, kept saying flirtatious things like wanting to wake up and do morning exercises with Tang Yu every day.

"You haven't been saying anything bad about me, have you?" Tang Yu teased with a smile.

"No, how could I say anything bad about you?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help but gently pinch Tang Yu's cheek.

This flirtatious action caught the attention of other members in the club, and a few couldn't resist teasing.

"Oh, didn't the president say she wouldn't go for pretty boys? What's changed today?"

"The president is a woman too; she has needs. Why are you being nosy?"

"Where did you find this handsome guy? He has such a great aura. President, care to share?"

In a place full of women, they naturally felt more at ease joking around. Of course, whether the sharing part was a joke or not was up for debate.

"You're all too much! This is my brother, Tang Yu. He's just started a business in Yanjing. If you can help him in any way, please do." Liu Ruyan laughed and scolded.

"Tang Yu? Nice name."

"Your brother, huh? Then I'll be your sister-in-law."

"Keeping it in the family, huh, President?"

The women laughed and came over to greet Tang Yu, each trying to get close to him. Fortunately, they were all quite attractive. Even those who were average-looking had an undeniable aura. With money, it's hard not to have charisma.

After being handed a bunch of business cards, Liu Ruyan linked arms with Tang Yu and said with a smile, "Keep these. If you need their help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

"Alright, thank you, sis."

Tang Yu finally understood what it meant to find a wealthy woman and save thirty years of hard work. The connections others struggled to make were all handed to him after just one round with her.

At this moment, his steadfast heart wavered slightly. Maybe he should just go along with it?

"Come on, let's eat first. The food here is amazing. Tell me what you like, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it." Liu Ruyan held Tang Yu's arm, her eyes full of joy.

Being able to be this close to him made her truly happy. If they could get even closer, that would be perfect.

Once they reached a private room, Liu Ruyan and Tang Yu sat side by side, handing him the menu to order.

After ordering, they opened a bottle of red wine. Liu Ruyan raised her glass with a smile, "Here's to Tang Yu's success in Yanjing."

"To the everlasting beauty of my two sisters." Tang Yu clinked glasses with them, smiling.

After a few sips, the atmosphere at the table began to warm up.

"Tang Yu, you started a small real estate company in Yanjing, right?" Liu Ruyan asked with a smile as she poured him more wine.

"Yes, though it's not that small," Tang Yu replied with a wry smile.

Dayue Real Estate was one of the core businesses of the Tang Family, with a market value of two hundred billion. Of course, compared to these established first-class families, it was still relatively small.

"I checked out your company. It's been doing okay these past few years. In Yanjing, real estate relies on connections. Shishi, isn't your father in charge of this area? Maybe you could share some insider info with my brother?" Liu Ruyan nudged her bestie with her foot.

Her bestie's family, in terms of assets, wasn't even third-rate. But the Yun family held significant power, and even these first-class families dared not offend them.

Yun Shishi showed a hint of helplessness, "Do you think insider info is like Chinese cabbage, to be shared at will?"

"No worries, you can do it." Liu Ruyan chuckled, knowing her good friend would surely help. Then she handed a new car key to Tang Yu, "I had a friend help buy a new Pagani. You can use it for now. Doing business in Yanjing, you need a decent car to interact with people. Also, our family has a big project in the third ring. We'll give a third of it to your company to handle."

Tang Yu nearly choked on his drink. Giving a supercar was one thing, but the project in the third ring was truly generous. In Yanjing, where land was as precious as gold, getting land in the third ring without a powerful background was impossible.

"Thank you, sis." Tang Yu could only swallow his pride and accept the favor.

How delightful.

In youth, one doesn't realize the value of an older sister, mistaking young girls for treasures.

In youth, one doesn't realize the allure of an older sister, mistakenly planting seeds of youth in the wrong field.

Sisters are wonderful, sisters are charming, sisters are a ray of light in the darkness.

"Why be polite with your sister?" Liu Ruyan gave Tang Yu a peck on the cheek.

"That's enough, don't provoke me anymore." Yun Shishi, sitting opposite, couldn't bear to watch.

Her bestie wasn't usually like this. How did she turn into such a love-struck fool now?

"I like it. If you're jealous, you can kiss him too." Liu Ruyan hugged Tang Yu, giggling.

"Do you think I'm like you? If I dared to do that, that bastard would find out and start a fight with me again." Yun Shishi laughed angrily. When she mentioned "bastard," a flash of anger crossed her eyes.

Liu Ruyan's face also darkened slightly, "That useless Qi Family scumbag, what else can he do besides hitting his wife? If I were you, I'd have divorced him long ago."

"Easy for you to say." Yun Shishi sighed, her tone filled with helplessness. Her marriage wasn't something she could just end. Even if it was in name only, she couldn't leave. She brushed aside the hair covering her face and asked Liu Ruyan, "Ruyan, can you check if the injury here has healed?"

On her fair, beautiful face were marks from fingernail scratches. Liu Ruyan glanced at them, and her anger flared up. She knew it was Yun Shishi's idiot husband who did it. In Yanjing, there were two men she hated the most: her disgusting father-in-law and her bestie's husband.

What a joke of a Qi Family heir, just a worthless coward. Ugly, overly suspicious, always fighting and hitting his wife. If she were Yun Shishi, she'd have made him regret it long ago!

She frowned, "It's healing, but it might leave a scar. You should get some cosmetic treatment to remove it."

"No need, I have some medicinal powder here. Apply it for a few more days, and there won't be a scar."

Tang Yu took out a small bottle from his pocket and handed it over.
