Ruan Qi saw Tang Beibei take notes seriously in class. Her eyes were bright and sparkly. She was clearly in a good mood.
Ruan Qi couldnât help but ask, âBeibei, have you made up with your husband?â
âMade up? But we didnât have a fight.â
Ruan Qi thought to herself, âYeah, right.â
Two days ago, not only was her face black, but she was also rude when she scolded others.
âTell me, what did your husband do to you to make you so happy? Iâm prepared to hear your lovey-dovey.â
Tang Beibei looked around and shared her happy news with Ruan Qi.
âMy husbandâs legs have recovered!â
Ruan Qi stared at her in shock to make sure that she was not joking.
âReally? He has recovered?â
âYes, he even carried me into the bathroom when I woke up this morning!â
âThis is indeed happy news. So, have you guys done it yet?â
Tang Beibei blushed and shook her head. âHis legs havenât recovered for long, so itâs hard to say if heâs able to do that. I mean, weâll talk about it when heâs fully recovered.â
Ruan Qi looked at her bashful smile and clicked her tongue. She was about to get laid!
Tang Beibei smiled and didnât say anything. She was going to Professor Chenâs office later to do some cleaning.
On her way there, she bumped into Song Kai and Lu Linlin.
Lu Linlin held Song Kaiâs arm but the two of them seemed unhappy. Because Song Kai shook off her hand and she held his arm again.
Tang Beibei didnât want talk to them. She turned to take a detour to the office building but someone called her name.
âTang Beibei, why are you running? Are you afraid to see me?â Lu Linlin said.
Tang Beibei was helpless. She turned around and greeted them politely, âHello, Senior Song Kai.â
âIâm Song Kaiâs fiancee. You should call me sister-in-law if you treat him like an older brother, Tang Beibei.â
She bragged openly because she wanted Tang Beibei to know that Song Kai was her man and that she should keep her distance from, and her hands off him.
Tang Beibeiâs eyes were calm. âI donât know you well, Lu Linlin. As for whether
I want to call you sister-in-law, itâs my business. You canât force me.â
Lu Linlin smiled and asked arrogantly, âYou are not willing to call me that because you are jealous of me?â
ââ¦â Tang Beibei looked at Song Kai helplessly.
Song Kai frowned and growled at Lu Linlin, âEnough is enough. Donât make trouble here.â
Lu Linlin said begrudgingly, âBut Iâm your fiancee. Canât she call me sister-in-law?â
Song Kai took a deep breath. Although Lu Linlin was the young miss of the Lu family living a carefree life since young, her brain hadnât developed well. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She didnât learn her lesson after the incident involving her and her father. Instead, she dragged him around town to show off their love.
He looked up at Tang Beibei in embarrassment and warned Lu Linlin again in a low voice, âIf you continue to make trouble, donât blame me for being heartless.â
Lu Linlin pursed her lips and eventually compromised. She just glared at Tang Beibei quietly.
Song Kai looked at Tang Beibei again and asked, âAre you looking for Professor Chen?â
âYes, Iâm on duty today.â
âI was going to look for Professor Chen, but something came up. Iâd better go now.â
âOkay, bye.â
Seeing Song Kai turn and leave, Lu Linlin grabbed his wrist and mocked, âWhy didnât you stay and chat since you missed her so much?â
Song Kai sneered. âLu Linlin, Iâve already told you that weâre just partners. Please behave yourself.â
Lu Linlin was upset. She followed behind him and grumbled, âYou still know that we are partners, but you didnât even protect me! Song Kai, if you want my dad and 1 to support you, you should try to please me.â
Song Kai was annoyed. Being with a woman like her was self-torture.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. âLu Linlin, if you are unwilling, we can cancel the engagement. 1â11 find another way to help myself. Youâre not the only one who can help me.â
His threat worked as Lu Linlin quickly said with a smile, âIâm just joking with you. Iâve promised to help you and Iâm a woman of my word.â
After walking a few steps, Song Kaiâs phone rang. It was Old Master Songâs assistant. He said that Song Enterprise was receiving an important guest and asked him to go over.
Song Kai hung up the phone, feeling a little excited.
Since his engagement to Lu Linlin, Lu Huai had gone back to the Song residence with him and asked for him to join Song Enterprise.
Now that he was summoned to meet an important customer, it was obvious that Old Master Song valued him.
Lu Linlin was also very happy to hear that. She couldnât help but say, âSong Kai, you see, if it werenât for my fatherâs chat with your grandfather, you wouldnât have joined Song Enterprise so quickly and be called in to meet important customers. You should thank me.â
Song Kaiâs expression was calm. He really could not be happy facing her.
âIâll buy you dinner next time.â
âOkay, Iâll wait for you to treat me to a romantic dinner!â Lu Linlinâs face was full of anticipation.
Song Kai quickened his pace and changed into business attire before heading to Song Enterprise.
He walked into the reception area and saw that Song Hai was also there.
When Song Hai saw that Song Kai was also there, his face turned gloomy and his eyes were filled with disdain.
The old masterâs assistant walked next to Song Kai and explained in a low voice, âHeâs the president of ZJ in China, a potential investor. We must treat him well.â
Song Kai glanced at the bespectacled man sitting at the tea table and walked behind the old master.
The old master smiled and introduced, âMr. Yang, this is my youngest grandson, Song Kai. He just graduated from university and joined Song Enterprise.â
Yang Hao pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose and smiled politely. âHello, Mr. Song Kai. Iâm Yang Hao.â
âHello, Mr. Yang. Iâve long heard of ZJâs reputation. Itâs Song Enterpriseâs honor to be able to work with ZJ.â
Yang Hao gave Song Hai a meaningfully look and said, âMr. Song Kai, you really know how to talk. Youâre a talent.â
Song Kai was humble. âMr. Yang, you flatter me.â
They talked business for a while. Yang Hao observed Song Kai and Song Hai. He thought that Song Kai was indeed better at talking than Song Hai. He was also more considerate and knew when to advance and when to retreat. If he took control of the Song family, he would be a formidable enemy.
Mr. Chen planned to take back the Jiang family. Jiang Minglang had the support of the Song family, so it would be hard to get rid of him. Therefore, Jiang Minglang must be dragged down before his power base grew.
Yang Hao smiled and chatted with them before inviting them to lunch. After lunch, Yang Hao pulled the old master aside and looked at him, hesitant to speak.
The old master was anxious and told him that everything could be discussed.
Yang Hao said, âThereâs something I donât know if I should say. Old Master Song, do you believe in destiny?â
âWhat destiny?â
Yang Hao sighed. âI think your youngest grandson is a bright young man, but 1 found out his Chinese Bazi just now when we were chatting and think that he might be bad for the Song family, and even worse for you.â
âOld Master Song, did your grandson get engaged recently?â
When Old Master Song heard that Song Kai was bad for him, his face turned slightly gloomy. âYes, Song Kai recently got engaged.â
Yang Hao then said earnestly, âThatâs about right. Your grandsonâs life isnât good. Him getting engaged at this time⦠1 have a feeling that his marriage will affect Song Enterprise.â
âI believe in these things, so these inauspicious signs will make me hesitate and not invest in Song Enterprise.â
âOld Master Song, Iâm really sorry. Weâll find another chance to work together.â
When the old master heard that ZJ was backing out because of Song Kai, his expression changed.
âMr. Yang, everything can be discussed. If you think Song Kai is inauspicious, what if 1 donât let him participate in Song Enterpriseâs businesses?â
Yang Hao replied helplessly, âThis is your family business. Itâs not right for an outsider like me to interfere. However, I think that your eldest grandson, Song Hai, has a good life. Iâm happy to work with him..â
