On Lin Zaozao's first day at Shen Corporation, her boss, Shen Yanqing, and her grandmother trended together.
The hashtag was so outrageous that the whole company was gossiping: “Eighty-two-year-old woman secretly meets Jiangcheng's richest man late at night. Is he trying to force his way into the family?” In the photo, Shen Yanqing, a billionaire, was skillfully peeling a roasted sweet potato for her grandmother, looking every bit the devoted partner.
Just as Lin Zaozao was planning to pretend she hadn't seen anything, her grandmother cleared things up in the family group chat: “Xiao Shen isn't my boyfriend. He's the man I picked for Zaozao.”
Things got more complicated because Shen Yanqing was already engaged to Xu Zhiyi. Born into a powerful family, Xu Zhiyi was gracious and gentle, but she set traps at every turn, reminding Lin Zaozao that Shen Yanqing's engagement was no joke, and that she and her grandmother were outsiders.
At first, Shen Yanqing approached Lin Zaozao only because her grandmother had saved him when he was down on his luck as a boy. He looked after her and indulged her simply to repay that debt. But as they spent more and more time together, he discovered that Lin Zaozao was lively, stubborn, kind, and so strong-willed it made his heart ache.
Lin Zaozao didn't want to be a footnote in a wealthy family's arranged marriage, but she still fell for him. Trapped by family and business interests, Shen Yanqing had no choice but to remain engaged to Xu Zhiyi. Lin Zaozao lost hope and started to back away, but her grandmother took her hand and said, “If you like him, go steal him. If you don't, go to sleep.”
So on the day of the engagement banquet, Lin Zaozao followed her grandmother straight into the venue.
This time, she wasn't there to watch the drama.
She was there to steal her man.
