In Jiang Jingchen’s villa, Song Zhou could not help but sigh as he updated Jiang Jingchen about the Song family.
“We just lit a match and didn’t expect the Song family to start infighting so quickly.”
Initially, Song Zhou didn’t 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?
“Pay more attention to this Song Kai in future.”
Song Zhou replied, “This person is Young Madam’s senior. They seem to be under the same mentor.”
“… Oh, it’s that kid. We can leave him be if he has no designs on my wife. However, if he’s interested in my wife, bring him down together with the rest of the Song family!”
“Yes.” Song Zhou did not dare to say anything else.
Jiang Jingchen threw the documents aside and said, “Aggravate the disagreements among the Song family members. If it’s too quiet, someone would be too free.”
Song Zhou saw his displeased expression and quickly took out a small notebook to write everything down.
At school, Tang Beibei heard Rong Chan’er’s name being mentioned in class. She asked Ruan Qi in confusion and only then did she find out about the Rong Chan’er and Song Hai fiasco.
Ruan Qi sighed. “This Rong Chan’er always maintains her demure and elegant facade. 1 didn’t expect her to be so open in private, bold enough to have sex with a man in a bar. Isn’t she afraid of the germs on the sofa?”
People who studied medicine paid great attention to hygiene, especially personal hygiene.
Tang Beibei thought for a moment and frowned.
“Now that you mention it, it’s quite gross.”
“I’ve also been to that bar. The sofas there haven’t 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.”
“Qiqi, don’t talk about this anymore. The more you talk, the more gross it feels.” Tang Beibei couldn’t stand it and quickly stopped Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi shrugged. She was just telling the truth.
“Let me tell you, the most ridiculous thing is that Rong Chan’er 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.”
Tang Beibei didn’t think that this had anything to do with her, so she opened her book to prepare for class.
Ruan Qi continued, “Beibei, I also heard that Song Hai and Lu Linlin are going to be engaged. Rong Chan’er still shamelessly publicized that she’s Song Hai’s girlfriend. I think this thing will backfire on her.”
Tang Beibei tilted her head and thought about Rong Chan’er. She was indeed someone who would do shameless things to climb the social ladder.
“Let’s not participate in other people’s gossip. We’ll just be passive bystanders.”
“Alright.”
Ruan Qi knew that Tang Beibei didn’t like to talk about the Rongs, so she didn’t 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 Beibei’s finger and she saw the ring. “Eh, Beibei, is this the ring you bought last time as a wedding ring?”
Tang Beibei also looked at her finger and smiled. “Yes, my husband put it on for me. It looks good, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, you have good taste.”
Ruan Qi gave her a thumbs up and then said, “I’m going to take a nap. Wake me up when the teacher gets to the main point.”
“…” Tang Beibei didn’t 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. “Oh, class is over. Beibei, why didn’t you wake me up?”
Tang Beibei chuckled helplessly. She tried to wake Ruan Qu up, but she couldn’t. All she could do was to jot down the key points and share them with Ruan Qi during revision.
“Are you going to the dance studio this afternoon?” Ruan Qi asked as she packed her bag. “I’ve received another business opportunity and I’d like to choreograph my own dance.”
“I can’t today. Senior Song Kai told me that the club has an event this afternoon and asked me to go over.”
“Okay then. Contact me when you’re done. I’ll go and get started on my choreography.”
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.
“Beibei, you’re here. Sit down and rest. Come, have a cup of water.”
“No, thanks. You don’t have to attend to me, Senior Song Kai.”
Song Kai brought her a cup of water and said with a sunny smile, “There are so many people here. I don’t need your help.”
“Thank you, Senior Song Kai.”
At this moment, someone joked, “Song Kai, are you protecting your kid over there?”
Song Kai laughed and put his long arm over Tang Beibei’s shoulders. “She’s my Little Junior. How can 1 let her do anything?”
“Little Junior? What a term of endearment!”
At this moment, someone noticed the ring on Tang Beibei’s ring finger. “Little Junior, that’s a very nice ring you have there. Is it a gift from your sweetheart?”
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 girl’s ring finger was a prelude to getting married!
Song Kai also noticed the ring on Tang Beibei’s finger, but he knew for sure that it was given to her by Jiang Jingchen.
Tang Beibei pushed Song Kai’s arm away uncomfortably. Sensing that everyone was staring at her finger, she covered her hand in embarrassment and nodded with a shy smile.
“Yes.”
She was admitting that the ring was given to her by her sweetheart.
Everyone jeered. They were really in love.
“Song Kai, you’ve made an official announcement. When are you going to treat us to a celebratory meal?”
“What official announcement?” Tang Beibei was confused.
Song Kai pulled a long face and berated, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. Stop, all of you. Little Junior is going feel embarrassed. Who she’s in love with has nothing to do with you. Our job is to study hard!”
Seeing that his expression had become serious, everyone stopped joking and began today’s 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.
“Beibei, if you wear a ring, you will scratch the patient’s skin. That’s why we can’t have any jewelry on our hands when we treat patients.”
“I’ll take off the ring.”
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 Beibei’s bag.
The event ended and Tang Beibei was grateful for Song Kai’s guidance. What she learned here was more specific and practical. Moreover, she felt that what she had just learned would help Jiang Jingchen.
“Did he have any reaction when you used the bottle of essential oil I gave you on him?” Song Kai asked casually.
Tang Beibei thought for a moment and said, “Nothing noticeable.”
“Oh, then massage him more to promote blood circulation. His legs will definitely recover.”
“I will.”
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 woman’s ring and threw it into the sewer with a sneer.
Jiang Jingchen didn’t deserve her!
