Cai Lenghan's Younger Brother

As she stepped out of the room containing a "female drunkard" to go to the restroom to wash her hands, Zhao Wanrou saw several servers carrying fruit platters turn into a nearby room. It seemed some guest also shared Wang Tianbi's habit of booking entire rooms, throwing money around without a second thought. Zhao Wanrou sighed inwardly, but she couldn't interfere with other people's preferences, let alone nag a stranger. Thus, she could only let out a breath and quickly go wash her hands, preventing herself from acting on impulse and doing something inappropriate that might affect her own honor, her family's, or potentially implicate Cai Lenghan, making his already bad reputation even worse. Furthermore, she had to quickly return to the room to prevent Wang Tianbi from sneaking more alcohol.

Zhao Wanrou washed for a while before the red stain on her sleeve faded slightly. Even so, at a glance, the mark looked very much like a bloodstain smudged on the fabric. Having no other choice, she headed back to the room. In her heart, she planned to invite Wang Tianbi to the shopping mall after eating to buy a new shirt, avoiding letting others see the red stain on her sleeve and getting startled. Moreover, Wang Tianbi was clearly in a bad mood, and only shopping could help lift her sagging spirits. In addition, Zhao Wanrou suddenly wanted to buy something for Cai Lenghan, perhaps because she felt a bit guilty and uneasy about leisurely enjoying herself while her husband was working hard.

Indeed, Zhao Wanrou understood better than anyone how hard Cai Lenghan's work was. Perhaps when mentioning a CEO, people often thought of overbearing presidents who could summon wind and rain, turning many people's lives upside down. Those presidents might have supernatural power and ability to the point where they could just enjoy themselves and fall in love while still maintaining a massive company or corporation with sky-high profits. But Cai Lenghan had no such power or supernatural abilities. Although he was at the helm of one of the largest corporations in the country, Shengli Company had previously been run into the ground by his biological father and stepmother, leaving it as nothing but an empty shell. He and his friends had poured sweat, tears, and even blood to revive that empty shell, bringing it back to life step by step and gradually growing it stronger. Cai Lenghan's ruined stomach, unstable mental state, and cold, rigid personality... were all the consequences, the lingering trauma left behind by those years of hard, grueling labor.

In her past life, Zhao Wanrou had known nothing of this until her soul left her body. Those details were recounted by Li Tianzhi and Fang Xiehe when they berated Cai Lenghan as their friendship fell apart. At that time, she had only felt gloating and joy when her "enemy" was thoroughly scolded by his close friends. But remembering it now, Zhao Wanrou felt only heartache and sorrow.

Lost in her thoughts, Zhao Wanrou had approached her room without realizing it. As she passed a nearby room, she suddenly caught a faint mention of her name. The name Zhao Wanrou was not common and had a rather unique meaning, so it caught her attention immediately.

Zhao Wanrou stopped in her tracks. Tilting her head, she realized she was standing right in front of a room's door, and the voice calling her name came from inside. Just as she stopped, a server opened the door to bring in more alcohol. Through the gap, Zhao Wanrou saw a group of young men with hair of various colors—green, red, and everything in between—looking like the palette of some amateur painter. Among the group, there was a blonde youth who looked very familiar. While she was trying to remember who he was, a coquettish girl sitting next to him spoke up, indirectly revealing his identity:
"Big Brother Jiabao, I heard your older brother just got married?"

Zhao Wanrou frowned. She remembered now; this youth was Wan Jiabao, the pampered son of Cai Lenghan's father and stepmother, and also his half-brother. When Cai Lenghan's mother's marriage fell apart, he had refused to take his father's surname, Wan, and resolutely took his mother's surname, Cai.
