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 couldn’t help but ask, “Beibei, have you made up with your husband?”
“Made up? But we didn’t have a fight.”
Ruan Qi thought to herself, “Yeah, right.”
Two days ago, not only was her face black, but she was also rude when she scolded others.
“Tell me, what did your husband do to you to make you so happy? I’m prepared to hear your lovey-dovey.”
Tang Beibei looked around and shared her happy news with Ruan Qi.
“My husband’s legs have recovered!”
Ruan Qi stared at her in shock to make sure that she was not joking.
“Really? He has recovered?”
“Yes, he even carried me into the bathroom when I woke up this morning!”
“This is indeed happy news. So, have you guys done it yet?”
Tang Beibei blushed and shook her head. “His legs haven’t recovered for long, so it’s hard to say if he’s able to do that. I mean, we’ll talk about it when he’s fully recovered.”
Ruan Qi looked at her bashful smile and clicked her tongue. She was about to get laid!
Tang Beibei smiled and didn’t say anything. She was going to Professor Chen’s office later to do some cleaning.
On her way there, she bumped into Song Kai and Lu Linlin.
Lu Linlin held Song Kai’s arm but the two of them seemed unhappy. Because Song Kai shook off her hand and she held his arm again.
Tang Beibei didn’t want talk to them. She turned to take a detour to the office building but someone called her name.
“Tang Beibei, why are you running? Are you afraid to see me?” Lu Linlin said.
Tang Beibei was helpless. She turned around and greeted them politely, “Hello, Senior Song Kai.”
“I’m Song Kai’s fiancee. You should call me sister-in-law if you treat him like an older brother, Tang Beibei.”
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 Beibei’s eyes were calm. “I don’t know you well, Lu Linlin. As for whether
I want to call you sister-in-law, it’s my business. You can’t force me.”
Lu Linlin smiled and asked arrogantly, “You are not willing to call me that because you are jealous of me?”
“…” Tang Beibei looked at Song Kai helplessly.
Song Kai frowned and growled at Lu Linlin, “Enough is enough. Don’t make trouble here.”
Lu Linlin said begrudgingly, “But I’m your fiancee. Can’t she call me sister-in-law?”
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 hadn’t developed well.
She didn’t 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, “If you continue to make trouble, don’t blame me for being heartless.”
Lu Linlin pursed her lips and eventually compromised. She just glared at Tang Beibei quietly.
Song Kai looked at Tang Beibei again and asked, “Are you looking for Professor Chen?”
“Yes, I’m on duty today.”
“I was going to look for Professor Chen, but something came up. I’d better go now.”
“Okay, bye.”
Seeing Song Kai turn and leave, Lu Linlin grabbed his wrist and mocked, “Why didn’t you stay and chat since you missed her so much?”
Song Kai sneered. “Lu Linlin, I’ve already told you that we’re just partners. Please behave yourself.”
Lu Linlin was upset. She followed behind him and grumbled, “You still know that we are partners, but you didn’t even protect me! Song Kai, if you want my dad and 1 to support you, you should try to please me.”
Song Kai was annoyed. Being with a woman like her was self-torture.
He took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Lu Linlin, if you are unwilling, we can cancel the engagement. 1’11 find another way to help myself. You’re not the only one who can help me.”
His threat worked as Lu Linlin quickly said with a smile, “I’m just joking with you. I’ve promised to help you and I’m a woman of my word.”
After walking a few steps, Song Kai’s phone rang. It was Old Master Song’s 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 couldn’t help but say, “Song Kai, you see, if it weren’t for my father’s chat with your grandfather, you wouldn’t have joined Song Enterprise so quickly and be called in to meet important customers. You should thank me.”
Song Kai’s expression was calm. He really could not be happy facing her.
“I’ll buy you dinner next time.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to treat me to a romantic dinner!” Lu Linlin’s 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 master’s assistant walked next to Song Kai and explained in a low voice, “He’s the president of ZJ in China, a potential investor. We must treat him well.”
Song Kai glanced at the bespectacled man sitting at the tea table and walked behind the old master.
The old master smiled and introduced, “Mr. Yang, this is my youngest grandson, Song Kai. He just graduated from university and joined Song Enterprise.”
Yang Hao pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose and smiled politely. “Hello, Mr. Song Kai. I’m Yang Hao.”
“Hello, Mr. Yang. I’ve long heard of ZJ’s reputation. It’s Song Enterprise’s honor to be able to work with ZJ.”
Yang Hao gave Song Hai a meaningfully look and said, “Mr. Song Kai, you really know how to talk. You’re a talent.”
Song Kai was humble. “Mr. Yang, you flatter me.”
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, “There’s something I don’t know if I should say. Old Master Song, do you believe in destiny?”
“What destiny?”
Yang Hao sighed. “I 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.”
“Old Master Song, did your grandson get engaged recently?”
When Old Master Song heard that Song Kai was bad for him, his face turned slightly gloomy. “Yes, Song Kai recently got engaged.”
Yang Hao then said earnestly, “That’s about right. Your grandson’s life isn’t good. Him getting engaged at this time… 1 have a feeling that his marriage will affect Song Enterprise.”
“I believe in these things, so these inauspicious signs will make me hesitate and not invest in Song Enterprise.”
“Old Master Song, I’m really sorry. We’ll find another chance to work together.”
When the old master heard that ZJ was backing out because of Song Kai, his expression changed.
“Mr. Yang, everything can be discussed. If you think Song Kai is inauspicious, what if 1 don’t let him participate in Song Enterprise’s businesses?”
Yang Hao replied helplessly, “This is your family business. It’s not right for an outsider like me to interfere. However, I think that your eldest grandson, Song Hai, has a good life. I’m happy to work with him..”
