Translator: 549690339

The following day.

“Master Ji proposes to Miss Song with deep and romantic passion, making everyone envious.” This headline news was everywhere.

Song Zhizhi saw the breaking news as soon as she woke up. She knew right away that among the people from yesterday, there certainly were journalists. Ji Baijian, this sly and crafty businessman, it wasn’t hard to guess, the Ji Family’s stocks surely rose impressively.

She wasn’t too interested in the contents of the news.

There was a photo of her kissing Ji Baijian amidst the romantic fireworks… indeed, it was enough to make every girl’S heart flutter.

At the same time, in the room next door, Nie Xiaofei’s eyes turned red from anger after seeing this news. Why could Song Zhizhi receive such limelight, while she felt so suppressed! The position of Miss Song should have been hers, was hers, was hers.

There was a knock on the door, and Nie Wenzhi walked in. Seeing Nie Xiaofei’s red eyes, she sighed and said, “I know that you feel wronged. As a woman, I also feel sorry for you when things like this happen. But you also know that the situation between you and Wenhan…”

“It’s not that, I’m just sick of Song Zhizhi’s arrogance. Look at today’s headlines, the whole world is envying her, I really can’t stand it! You promised me that Song Zhizhi wouldn’t marry Ji Baijian, but now she seems to be living a better life than anyone!” Nie Xiaofei couldn’t help crying out in a shout.

Nie Wenzhi looked at Nie Xiaofei’s breakdown, her expression somewhat heavy.

Having thought about it for the whole night, Nie Xiaofei certainly couldn’t keep the child in her stomach. But letting it go so easily also left her feeling unwilling. Up to this point, Nie Wenzhi still suspected that Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei’s encounter surely had something to do with Song Zhizhi. As for why Song Zhizhi suddenly changed, she couldn’t figure it out, which only intensified her resolution to get rid of Song Zhizhi sooner. Originally, she could have kept her around a bit longer.

All plans seemed to have to start over because of Song Zhizhi.

Nie Wenzhi heaved a deep sigh, “I thought about it last night, and I have a way to deal with Song

Zhizhi.”

“What way?” Nie Xiaofei, with teary eyes, excitedly asked.

Nie Wenzhi told her.

Nie Xiaofei stared at Nie Wenzhi.

“I know it could harm your body, and I wouldn’t force you. Just take your time to think about it.” said Nie Wenzhi, “There’s no need to rush.”

“No.” After hesitant for just a few seconds, Nie Xiaofei immediately said, “As long as we can eliminate Song Zhizhi, I’ll do anything!”

“You’re truly my daughter. I promise you a life of luxury in the future!”

Nie Xiaofei nodded, revealing a wicked smile.

As long as Song Zhizhi didn’t get the best of everything, she could accept anything!

Since the news of Ji Baijian’s proposal to Song Zhizhi was revealed in the media, the Ji Family’s stock market was doing quite well. The media enjoyed the discussion and released news about the imminent marriage of Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi from time to time. This really kept the audience curious.

Song Zhizhi would sometimes read the news when she was bored. It made her… feel quite good. Even though Ji Baijian seemed to have evaporated since the proposal. Their relationship was still as formal as ever!

In the evening, Song Shan came home from work, and the family sat together for dinner.

Surprisingly, Yi Wenhan was also there.

Song Shan didn’t have a good impression of Yi Wenhan. He didn’t know if Nie Wenzhi had whispered something in his ear recently, or maybe Song Shan just wanted to be fair to his two daughters and couldn’t be too harsh on Yi Wenhan. So now, when Yi Wenhan appeared, Song Shan wouldn’t show a long face anymore.

At the quiet dinner table, Song Shan said, “The results of the finance examination will be released tomorrow. Are you both confident?”

He was asking Song Zhizhi and Yi Wenhan.

“Uncle, I’m quite confident.” Yi Wenhan replied with respect.

Song Shan nodded, then turned to his daughter.

Song Zhizhi laughed and said, “We’ll know it tomorrow.”

Her tone was full of confidence.

Song Shan smiled with satisfaction, “I’ll be waiting for your good news tomorrow.” “Before that, there’s more good news to announce.” Nie Wenzhi suddenly chimed in.

‘What else could be great?” asked Song Shan casually.

“Xiaofei is pregnant.” said Nie Wenzhi.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes suddenly tensed.

She turned her head to look at Nie Xiaofei.

Pregnant? Whose child? Yi Wenhan’s?!

If so, Nie Wenzhi wouldn’t be so happy to announce it. Regardless of whether they were siblings or not, Nie Xiaofei’s identity would only become a stumbling block to Yi Wenhan’s development. Nie Wenzhi would not allow the child to be born. There must be some plot behind it!

“Pregnant?” Song Shan was taken aback. “Yi Wenhan’s child?”

“Yes.” Nie Wenzhi explained with a smile, “I initially thought they were too young to get married so early, but since she’s already pregnant, there’s no other way. We can’t be so cruel as to abandon this innocent child.”

Song Shan nodded, as it was not his place to comment on Nie Xiaofei’s affairs. He said, “You can make the arrangements for what’s to come.”

“Alright.” Nie Wenzhi said with a smile, “Let’s get them married as soon as possible. When the time comes, Xiaofei will focus on her pregnancy while Wenhan continues with his work. After all, men should prioritize their careers and besides, Wenhan can always assist Uncle Song in the political arena in the future.”

“I am an orphan, and I fully respect Aunt’S decision.” Yi Wenhan replied with utmost respect.

“Good. Then I’ll handle it as I see fit.” Nie Wenzhi nodded.

It seemed peaceful at the dinner table.

Song Zhizhi didn’t say much, but she felt a little upset inside. Everything couldn’t be as simple as it seemed. Nie Wenzhi, this woman, should never be underestimated..
