Ruan Xia had guessed that the sender of the flowers was most likely Duan Chi. Song Tingshen could also guess that too.
In the past few years, Ruan Xia had often gone out to have fun, but none of her admirers had dared to send flowers to their home. But recently, she no longer went out to have a good time, and someone sent flowers to their home. Using normal logic, Song Tingshen made the connection that unless the flowers had been delivered to the wrong address, the sender had to be Duan Chi, who had come to his office a few days ago to ask why he and Ruan Xia hadnât divorced yet.
In all fairness, if this had happened in the past, before Ruan Xia had changed, Song Tingshen would have left it to Ruan Xia to handle. But now... If she had to deal with it herself, she would come into contact with Duan Chi again. Song Tingshen didnât ignore the dissatisfaction he felt at the thought of that.
He believed in Ruan Xia. There was definitely nothing between her and that Duan Chi. He was also sure that she would never like Duan Chi.
Even though he knew all those things, he still felt somewhat unhappy. Song Tingshen squeezed the bridge of his nose. In the end, he decided to listen to his heart. He picked up his phone and called a friend. âPlease investigate someone for me. His name is Duan Chi. Heâs a member of the Duan Corporation.â
âHmm? Are you interested in Duan Corporation?â The friend smiled. âWho doesnât know that Duan Corporation has become a bottomless hole? That family is too busy with internal strife every day. Even if youâre interested in their industry, you donât have to take Duan Corporation into consideration.â
Song Tingshen replied, âItâs not related to work.â
No matter how much he disliked Duan Chi, he didnât like to blur the lines between personal life and work life. Work was work. Personal was personal. They couldnât be lumped together. He wouldnât cause trouble for Duan Corporation because of Duan Chi. That wasnât consistent with his past style.
âNot related to work? So itâs a personal matter?â The friend was a bit surprised. âWhatâs going on? I remember that your company doesnât have any business dealings with Duan Corporation.â
Song Tingshen hesitated for a moment. âActually, itâs nothing important. It canât be clearly explained in a few words. Iâll have to trouble you to check up on this matter.â
If he checked on Duan Chi, it would inevitably stir up movement that would alert the Duanâs. That Duan Chi was probably someone with poor judgement. If he was a reasonable person, he wouldnât have come to his office to look for him or say those ridiculous words.
It wouldnât be possible that everyone in the Duanâs were idiots. There must be a few clear-headed people in the Duanâs. After all, the Duanâs had once been a prominent family. He believed that they would properly deal with Duan Chiâs matter once they found out.
âThen I have to ask, did Duan Chi offend you? I have a pretty good friend thatâs an extended family member of the Duanâs. I have to give him some face.â
âNot serious enough to be considered an offence.â Song Tingshen didnât answer too clearly. âYoung people are probably more impulsive in their actions. Itâs not a big deal.â
Although he didnât clearly say everything, he had said everything that needed to be said.
âI understand. Be assured, Iâll immediately check him out for you.â
He understood Song Tingshenâs personality. For him to say âNot serious enough to be considered an offenceâ, it meant it was already a very big offense. Moreover, he had said young people would do impulsive things...
How to put it? Not only did Song Tingshen, who had come from a poor background, give off an unfathomable aura, he had built up his career by himself. This meant that he wasnât a simple person. It was rare to see him angry, but once he was angry or lost his temper, it had to be something big.
âThank you for your trouble,â Song Tingshen said.
âYouâre too polite. Weâre friends.â
