In Jiang Jingchenâs villa, Song Zhou could not help but sigh as he updated Jiang Jingchen about the Song family.
âWe just lit a match and didnât expect the Song family to start infighting so quickly.â
Initially, Song Zhou didnât know about the kickback or the use of inferior materials. However, after he heard about it, he knew that it was something only insiders would know. He then quickly investigated the matter and used it to start a fire and let the matter blow up.
Jiang Jingchen looked at the Song family relationship chart. Old Master Song had two sons and a daughter. His youngest daughter was married to Old Master Chu.
His eldest son, Song Yang, managed the family business and gave birth to Song Hai, who also worked in Song Enterprise. To nurture Song Hai, his father put him in charge of several important projects.
His second son, Song Hua, had a big job in his early years and died early from cancer, leaving behind Song Kai.
Song Hai was mediocre but had always lived in the limelight. Song Kai, in contrast, had always been on the sidelines and never received much attention. However, he was a medicine student with outstanding results, varied interests and was good at making friends.
Would a person like this submit to others willingly?
âPay more attention to this Song Kai in future.â
Song Zhou replied, âThis person is Young Madamâs senior. They seem to be under the same mentor.â
â⦠Oh, itâs that kid. We can leave him be if he has no designs on my wife. However, if heâs interested in my wife, bring him down together with the rest of the Song family!â
âYes.â Song Zhou did not dare to say anything else.
Jiang Jingchen threw the documents aside and said, âAggravate the disagreements among the Song family members. If itâs too quiet, someone would be too free.â
Song Zhou saw his displeased expression and quickly took out a small notebook to write everything down.
At school, Tang Beibei heard Rong Chanâerâs name being mentioned in class. She asked Ruan Qi in confusion and only then did she find out about the Rong Chanâer and Song Hai fiasco.
Ruan Qi sighed. âThis Rong Chanâer always maintains her demure and elegant facade. 1 didnât expect her to be so open in private, bold enough to have sex with a man in a bar. Isnât she afraid of the germs on the sofa?â
People who studied medicine paid great attention to hygiene, especially personal hygiene.
Tang Beibei thought for a moment and frowned.
âNow that you mention it, itâs quite gross.â
âIâve also been to that bar. The sofas there havenât been cleaned for a year or two. Goodness knows how many people have sat on it. Maybe someone else had also done it on that sofa.â
âQiqi, donât talk about this anymore. The more you talk, the more gross it feels.â Tang Beibei couldnât stand it and quickly stopped Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi shrugged. She was just telling the truth.
âLet me tell you, the most ridiculous thing is that Rong Chanâer felt no shame after the incident. She even tagged Song Hai on her Weibo account and said that the two of them are a couple. The two of them were making out and an unscrupulous reporter recorded a video of them. She even said that she would sue the reporter.â
Tang Beibei didnât think that this had anything to do with her, so she opened her book to prepare for class.
Ruan Qi continued, âBeibei, I also heard that Song Hai and Lu Linlin are going to be engaged. Rong Chanâer still shamelessly publicized that sheâs Song Haiâs girlfriend. I think this thing will backfire on her.â
Tang Beibei tilted her head and thought about Rong Chanâer. She was indeed someone who would do shameless things to climb the social ladder.
âLetâs not participate in other peopleâs gossip. Weâll just be passive bystanders.â
âAlright.â
Ruan Qi knew that Tang Beibei didnât like to talk about the Rongs, so she didnât say anything more. She straightened her back and listened attentively to the teacher.
But she dozed off after just a while. The teacher on the stage was explaining the contents of the lecture like it was gospel. Ruan Qi shook her head and almost knocked into Tang Beibei.
She turned to look at Tang Beibei, who was listening attentively. She had to admire her. Only a top student would listen to such a boring lecture with such relish.
Her gaze fell on Tang Beibeiâs finger and she saw the ring. âEh, Beibei, is this the ring you bought last time as a wedding ring?â
Tang Beibei also looked at her finger and smiled. âYes, my husband put it on for me. It looks good, doesnât it?â
âYes, you have good taste.â
Ruan Qi gave her a thumbs up and then said, âIâm going to take a nap. Wake me up when the teacher gets to the main point.â
ââ¦â Tang Beibei didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
When the teacher was about to recap the main points, Tang Beibei tried to wake Ruan Qi up but she was fast asleep and only woke up after class.
Ruan Qi wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. âOh, class is over. Beibei, why didnât you wake me up?â
Tang Beibei chuckled helplessly. She tried to wake Ruan Qu up, but she couldnât. All she could do was to jot down the key points and share them with Ruan Qi during revision.
âAre you going to the dance studio this afternoon?â Ruan Qi asked as she packed her bag. âIâve received another business opportunity and Iâd like to choreograph my own dance.â
âI canât today. Senior Song Kai told me that the club has an event this afternoon and asked me to go over.â
âOkay then. Contact me when youâre done. Iâll go and get started on my choreography.â
The two of them went their separate ways after leaving the classroom. Tang Beibei arrived at the club room and saw that everyone was packing, so she went up to help.
âBeibei, youâre here. Sit down and rest. Come, have a cup of water.â
âNo, thanks. You donât have to attend to me, Senior Song Kai.â
Song Kai brought her a cup of water and said with a sunny smile, âThere are so many people here. I donât need your help.â
âThank you, Senior Song Kai.â
At this moment, someone joked, âSong Kai, are you protecting your kid over there?â
Song Kai laughed and put his long arm over Tang Beibeiâs shoulders. âSheâs my Little Junior. How can 1 let her do anything?â
âLittle Junior? What a term of endearment!â
At this moment, someone noticed the ring on Tang Beibeiâs ring finger. âLittle Junior, thatâs a very nice ring you have there. Is it a gift from your sweetheart?â
The person who spoke looked at Song Kai because Song Kai had told them that Tang Beibei was his girlfriend.
Well done! Putting a ring on a girlâs ring finger was a prelude to getting married!
Song Kai also noticed the ring on Tang Beibeiâs finger, but he knew for sure that it was given to her by Jiang Jingchen.
Tang Beibei pushed Song Kaiâs arm away uncomfortably. Sensing that everyone was staring at her finger, she covered her hand in embarrassment and nodded with a shy smile.
âYes.â
She was admitting that the ring was given to her by her sweetheart.
Everyone jeered. They were really in love.
âSong Kai, youâve made an official announcement. When are you going to treat us to a celebratory meal?â
âWhat official announcement?â Tang Beibei was confused.
Song Kai pulled a long face and berated, âDonât listen to their nonsense. Stop, all of you. Little Junior is going feel embarrassed. Who sheâs in love with has nothing to do with you. Our job is to study hard!â
Seeing that his expression had become serious, everyone stopped joking and began todayâs event.
Chinese medicine and Western medicine had different philosophies. In the first year of university, everyone wanted to make it easier to learn medicine. The school allowed students to learn many subjects about Western medicine. However, when they were serious about Chinese medicine, they had to think differently.
Chinese medicine was mainly about prevention and understanding the whole body. Once symptoms showed up in one place, there could be many reasons, so Chinese medicine students had to consider many factors.
Tang Beibei took notes when listening to the lecture. Song Kai was her partner for any practical exercise.
âBeibei, if you wear a ring, you will scratch the patientâs skin. Thatâs why we canât have any jewelry on our hands when we treat patients.â
âIâll take off the ring.â
Tang Beibei took off her ring and put it in her bag. Song Kai glanced at it and then looked away calmly.
Tang Beibei went to wash her hands after the practical exercise. Song Kai walked past her bag and took a sip of water from his cup that was next to Tang Beibeiâs bag.
The event ended and Tang Beibei was grateful for Song Kaiâs guidance. What she learned here was more specific and practical. Moreover, she felt that what she had just learned would help Jiang Jingchen.
âDid he have any reaction when you used the bottle of essential oil I gave you on him?â Song Kai asked casually.
Tang Beibei thought for a moment and said, âNothing noticeable.â
âOh, then massage him more to promote blood circulation. His legs will definitely recover.â
âI will.â
Tang Beibei recalled that Jiang Jingchen had told her that he could feel his legs now. Besides, the doctor said he would recover soon. She was full of confidence.
Song Kai watched her leave and walked to the end of the corridor. After confirming that there was no one around and no surveillance cameras, he took out a womanâs ring and threw it into the sewer with a sneer.
Jiang Jingchen didnât deserve her!
