Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 457: I Won’t Marry Her

An Junxi did not understand the meaning of this call from Yin Feibai. Him marrying He Sirui, what does it have to do with her?

She said, "When the Yin Family sends the invitation, we will go together." She didn’t respond to him in her own name, and deliberately kept her distance in her words.

Yin Feibai sensed her coldness. He remained silent for a long time, and before An Junxi was about to hang up, he said, "Jun Xi, I wish you happiness."

He liked her, but he was too slow to act. She was already married, and to Gu Yikun, whom he couldn’t stand.

An Junxi felt a bit baffled. She wanted to speak sarcastically, but thinking carefully, Yin Feibai hadn’t really done anything too excessive to her and had even helped her a lot.

She couldn’t treat him as an enemy just because he liked her.

She put away her hostility and said calmly, "Thank you, I also wish you happiness."

Yin Feibai laughed self-deprecatingly, didn’t respond, and hung up.

He sat in his empty home. Since returning from the Gu Family’s banquet, his parents had turned against each other, quarreling every day. The home was filled with gloom.

Yin Handedong blamed Tao Manqiu for cursing him at the banquet, embarrassing him. Tao Manqiu kept questioning if he had rekindled his relationship with Jiang Liu. Neither could convince the other, and they even came to blows.

Tao Manqiu’s nightly weeping drove Yin Handedong mad, causing him to move out to an apartment. Tao Manqiu followed him, and after another quarrel, she went to the media, condemning Jiang Liu as an old seductress who shamelessly enticed other people’s husbands.

Senye Group and He’s Jewelry dominated the headlines for several days. Besides the scandals involving Young Master Yin and Miss He, Jiang Liu and Yin Handedong’s past was thoroughly dug up. The media relished in reporting their former romance, ignoring Tao Manqiu and He Feng.

It seemed that Yin Handedong and Jiang Liu were the real couple, and everyone else was redundant.

This situation enraged Tao Manqiu, landing her in the hospital for several days without recovery.

Yin Feibai was the most innocently entangled. Two years ago, when rumors spread about him and Gu Qianlan, it was only treated as a joke by the public. After all, which rich young master didn’t have romantic affairs?

Now, history repeated with He Sirui, and he was labeled a "scumbag." Everyone knew that Miss He and Miss Gu were inseparable friends. This... was undeniably being open to anyone, wasn’t it?

The gossip of high society always fueled the fervor of the media. This incident was no exception, creating an uproar. Journalists constantly hounded Yin Feibai about his wedding date with Miss He, to which he simply replied, "I will not marry her; no further comments."

He Sirui was cornered by reporters at a hotel restaurant, bombarded with sharp questions: "Miss He, we heard you and Young Master Yin have an engagement, but he stated he will never marry you. What is your response?"

Wearing the expression of an abandoned woman.

He Sirui had been driven mad by the recent events at home. A family always so peaceful, now disrupted by the Gu Family banquet, where her parents’ old affairs resurfaced. He Feng accused Jiang Liu of flirting with Yin Handedong at the banquet and tarnishing the family’s reputation, leading to divorce discussions.

After spending most of their lives together, now they were talking about divorce.

Jiang Liu, having never faced such humiliation, cried her nights away, venting her anger on her daughter, blaming her for failing to seduce Gu Yikun at the banquet and ending up in Yin Feibai’s bed, only to be rejected by the Yin Family, resulting in utter disgrace!

He Sirui had never been scolded like this by her mother. Her father had always been very strict, but her mother loved her dearly. Now even her mother had changed!

He Sirui retorted, "Mom, wasn’t it you who sent me to find Gu Yikun that night?"

Jiang Liu slapped her, the redness on He Sirui’s face more apparent. She stared in disbelief, "Mom, you hit me?"

Jiang Liu’s hand stung as well. She cried out in agony, "I didn’t mean to hit you, I just... I just lost my temper!"

He Sirui didn’t want to hear another word. She no longer wanted to stay in this house.

She told her parents, "I want to marry Yin Feibai."

He Feng was the first to object, "Our families will never be in-laws. I’d rather send you abroad never to return than let you step into the Yin Family’s door!"

He Sirui was at her lowest point in life. What was family affection? What family affection existed in the He Family?

She had thought she was the apple of her parents’ eyes. It turned out, in the face of family honor, she was nothing. Her parents could sacrifice anything.

She fought back like crazy, "I want to marry Yin Feibai. He’s the only one I can marry now!"

He Feng, infuriated, tried to hit her. He Sirui locked herself in her room, seeing on the news that Yin Feibai had been working normally as if nothing had happened.

She called him countless times, unable to reach him.

She called Yin Feibai’s secretary and finally got through.

Yin Feibai asked coldly, "What is it? You have three minutes."

He Sirui got straight to the point, "Have you thought about what I told you? Let’s cooperate."

Yin Feibai sneered, "He Sirui, what makes you think you can work with me?"

He Sirui pressed on, "I heard you’re now a deputy manager at Senye... Ha, Young Master Yin is just a deputy manager. Do you know my position in He’s Jewelry? With your abilities, you won’t be able to take down Gu Yikun in your lifetime!"

Yin Feibai wasn’t angered by her words, "Even if I can’t beat Gu Yikun in this lifetime, I won’t marry you."

In the past, such words would have made He Sirui determined to make Yin Feibai regret it. Recently, though, she had faced so many setbacks that she could take them in stride.

"Yin Feibai, aren’t you infatuated with An Junxi? Now that Gu Yikun has plunged you into a media frenzy, if not for yourself, do it for Senye Group."

He Sirui wanted to keep persuading him, but the line went dead.

She smashed her phone, "Useless waste, what good is such a man!"

She found no way out, constantly thinking of how to bring down Gu Yikun but couldn’t come up with any plan.

He Sirui’s world turned dark. She often heard phantom laughs, and finally, one day, unable to bear the torment, she viciously slashed her thigh with a knife.

The pain sobered her, blood dripping on the ground, the smell filling the room.

In an instant, He Sirui found her way out. Even if it meant sacrificing herself, she would make An Junxi pay!

She didn’t dare to leave for a long time. When she finally did, reporters asked about Yin Feibai’s refusal to marry her.

Those who once looked at her with adoration now waited to see her downfall after her scandal.

She finally understood how Liu Zhiwen felt, no wonder she heard that Liu Zhiwen now required psychological treatment.
