Zhou Hongyu thanked her, but said, "No need for any of that. If your uncle's construction team seems reliable and we can cooperate, ask your uncle to give us a discount!"

Ning Huilan nodded emphatically, "I will fulfill all your requests!"

Once I've made you stupid, and you've witnessed my boundless kindness towards you, and you can no longer accept someone like Lu Manman, then you two will break up, and I'll tell you the truth—

Ning Huilan felt increasingly pleased with herself.

Zhou Hongyu looked at her strange smile and raised an eyebrow. Are all young people like this nowadays?

The Song family home, second floor, master bedroom.

Exhausted, Liu Yujie returned home from get off work and, after dealing with her in-laws in the living room on the first floor, returned to her bedroom only to be nearly scared to death by a live person.

"Qingyun!"

After her initial shock, Liu Yujie immediately adopted a weak and vulnerable expression. She said in a coquettish voice, "Qingyun, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I could have prepared the food you wanted..."

Song Qingyun interrupted coldly, "Yujie, Qing Shi needs to know some information about the Northwest Base. Can you contact Chang Xingwang again?"

Liu Yujie swallowed nervously, but she pretended to be calm and declined politely as usual: "Qingyun...you know, it's not convenient to contact Xingwang. Sometimes the information I give you is something he has gone through a lot of trouble to get through."

"I still have the letter he just sent back!"

Liu Yujie was worried that Song Qingyun wouldn't believe her, so she hurriedly found the letter she had just received from the Northwest this week.

Song Qingyun glanced at the envelope; the recipe was as familiar as ever.

— Signed by xxx unit, Chang Xingwang.

He smiled gently, put his arm around Liu Yujie's shoulder, kissed her ear, and said affectionately, "Yujie, I've always known that you side with me between him and me. I'm sorry for all the sacrifices you've made for the family all these years!"

Liu Yujie was moved: "Qingyun..."

Unseen by anyone, Song Qingyun's eyes were filled with a sinister glint.

Damn it!

Liu Yujie has been playing me for fools all these years!

Chang Xingwang went on a business trip to the Middle East a long time ago; the ghost wrote you that letter.
