Angela Ma's expression froze. "Brother, do things really have to be this tense between us?"
Ethan Yin glanced up at Angela Ma. "Just say it. Are you still not giving up, trying to use this chance to pick my wife as an excuse to get close to Cecilia Gu or Charles Yin?"
Angela Ma sat down right in front of Ethan Yin, shamelessly saying, "Brother, now that Cecilia Gu is pregnant, does that mean she can't be with Charles Yin anymore? This is when men are the most vulnerable. If I take this chance to hook up with Charles Yin... Brother, aren't you worried the future Yin Group won't be in our hands? As long as you help me, I will..."
Ethan Yin's face suddenly changed, his tone turning cold. "Angela Ma, I didn't expect you to become like this after all these years! Are you still the naive little sister I used to know? Who taught you all this nonsense?"
Angela Ma was provoked by Ethan Yin's words and immediately shouted, "Who do you think you are? You want to lecture me? If you really treated me as your sister, why do I still have nothing!?"
Ethan Yin was so angry he laughed. He pulled out his wallet, took out a stack of cash, and put it on the bar counter before turning to leave.
Seeing that Ethan Yin was ignoring her and leaving, Angela Ma immediately chased after him.
"Ethan Yin, stop right there!" Angela Ma yelled angrily from behind.
Ethan Yin didn't even look at Angela Ma and kept walking forward.
Angela Ma suddenly screamed, "Ethan Yin, are you really ignoring me? Fine, I'll let a car hit me right now! You don't care about me as your sister at all, do you? If I die, it won't matter to you, right?"
After saying that, Angela Ma rushed straight into the middle of the road.
Ethan Yin turned his head just in time to see Angela Ma running toward the center of the street.
Ethan Yin was scared out of his wits. Without thinking, he dashed over and grabbed Angela Ma's wrist, pulling her back forcefully.
A car brushed right past Angela Ma's body. The driver cursed a few times in the car and then drove off.
Ethan Yin was drenched in cold sweat.
Seeing that Ethan Yin really came back to save her, Angela Ma grinned smugly. "Brother, you do care about me after all, don't you?"
Ethan Yin sighed and pulled Angela Ma into his car. "Tell me, what do you really want? I won't let you go down the wrong path."
Angela Ma replied, "Brother, do you not trust Cecilia Gu, or Charles Yin, or me? If a man can be seduced away, he never truly loved his wife. This is Cecilia Gu's most vulnerable moment. If I can seduce Charles Yin, that means he never loved Cecilia Gu! In that case, I'm actually helping her, you know?"
Ethan Yin leaned back in his seat, exhausted. "Angela, you don't understand. Big Brother and Sister-in-law's relationship isn't as simple as you think. In the three years Sister-in-law lost her memory, do you know how many women tried to get close to Big Brother? But no one could even get near him! In his heart, there's only Cecilia Gu!"
Angela Ma protested, "That's because I never tried! How could those other women compare to me? If I try, then I'll believe what you say. Brother, just help me one last time, just this once, okay? If I lose, I'll listen to you, and I'll stop hoping for Charles Yin. I'll just find a job somewhere, okay?"
Ethan Yin watched Angela Ma's figure gradually disappear in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He muttered to himself, "Angela, I've really done everything I could for you. From now on, don't blame me for not caring anymore."
Cecilia Gu's Weibo post was forwarded over a million times in just one day.
Many people started asking about how to register.
This time, registration was open regardless of nationality, region, or race—anyone confident in their beauty could sign up.
So even beauties as far away as South Africa and North America started preparing to register.
Fortunately, the assistants were efficient and set up the registration system in just one day.
Anyone who wanted to participate just needed to go to the official website and fill out a personal registration form to get a number.
After registration, a cross-region competition would be held in both the UK and China.
Of course, the judges would naturally be members of the Jing and Yin families.
During the preliminary round, several assistants would conduct the initial selection.
Those who met the requirements would advance to the semifinals.
This chapter isn't over yet ^.^, please click next page to continue reading!
After the semifinals comes the finals.
The finals will be held in City N, and Cecilia Gu has veto power.
In other words, no matter how hard you try in the earlier rounds, if you can't satisfy Cecilia Gu, it's all for nothing!
As the chief Mrs. Yin, if she didn't have this kind of power, what would be the point?
As for the Jing family, they weren't interested in this illegitimate child anyway, so they simply let Cecilia Gu decide.
After all, it's just an illegitimate child with no claim to inheritance or family assets—there's no obstacle at all.
Originally, the Jing family planned to make things difficult for Jing Rong, but since Charles Yin personally showed support for Jing Rong, the rest of the Jing family had to reconsider whether it was worth opposing the Yin family just for Jing Rong.
Charles Yin made it clear that he had no interest in the Jing family's internal conflicts.
The only reason Charles Yin was so eager about Jing Rong's marriage was that his wife wanted all three sisters to get married together.
That's all there is to it.
Since Charles Yin had already made his stance clear, the Jing family had to reconsider carefully.
During these two days in the UK, Jing Rong kept to himself, staying in the study and discussing something with Mr. Jing.
As an honored guest, Cecilia Gu only needed to eat well and enjoy herself here.
All the other trivial matters were handled by other people!
Like Rona Mu, and Jiro Hirayama.
Otherwise, why bring them along to the UK?
Of course, it's to put them to work!
So, Cecilia Gu lounged in the garden, sunbathing, while Rona Mu and Jiro Hirayama sat beside her, gritting their teeth as they handled all the registration forms on their laptops.
"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore!" Rona Mu went crazy seeing the registration forms increase with every refresh. "Are these women nuts? Picking a wife through a talent show—how can so many people believe something so unreliable?"
Cecilia Gu leisurely ate grapes and replied, "Isn't it the same logic as those talent show celebrities? If stars can be chosen this way, why not wives? Think about it, matchmaking is just a small-scale talent show."
"Sounds kind of reasonable... but it's still nonsense! Cecilia Gu, why are you so relaxed eating grapes?" Rona Mu scratched her head. "Clearly all this work is yours!"
"Hehehe, I'm pregnant now," Cecilia Gu answered bluntly. "When you're pregnant, you can make me work for you too!"
"Fine, you win!" Rona Mu said fiercely. "Just for that, wait and see—I won't stop until I've had ten kids!"
Jiro Hirayama's eyes lit up beside her. "Really?"
Rona Mu instantly shot Jiro Hirayama a glare. "No way!"
Registration lasted three days in total.
On the final day, the server nearly crashed.
By the very last moment, the number of registrants actually reached over a million!
Cecilia Gu stared at the endless registration forms, mouth agape. "Oh my god, how long will it take to pick one? No way, we need another qualifying round! Otherwise, I'll still be sorting through these by the time I give birth!"
At that moment, Assistant Xiao Wang brought over fresh milk, swapped out the black tea in Cecilia Gu's hand, and smiled. "The CEO already thought of that. For the preliminaries, we'll cooperate directly with the local TV station. That way, our efficiency goes way up, and the TV station gets ratings. Everyone wins and makes money."
Rona Mu couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Mr. Yin really is a business king! He can even turn this into profit! If I'm not mistaken, he's been planning this all along. No wonder he didn't object to using a talent show to find a wife for Ethan Yin—it's a win-win for him!"
Hehehe, that really does seem to be the case.
Now there's another illegitimate child from the Jing family.
Hehehe, it's livelier than planned and even more profitable!
Of course Mr. Yin wouldn't object!
Cecilia Gu suddenly remembered something. "Hey, by the way, who is Jing Rong's illegitimate brother? I still don't know who he is!"
Assistant Xiao Wang chuckled. "You should know this person, Mrs. Yin."
Hmm? Someone familiar?
