"Even you're protecting an outsider?"

Upon seeing that it was Song Beiye who walked in, Xi Leng's face was full of displeasure.

In the break room, Song Beiye lazily sat down on the sofa: "Outsider? Miss Xi, you really know how to joke. If I remember correctly, Miss Xi was also an outsider to my Song family back then, but didn't she eventually seize power and gain her current status and position?"

The phrase "plotting to seize power" is enough to show that Song Beiye does not acknowledge her identity in the Song family at all.

Moreover, he doesn't even acknowledge the surname Song, let alone the name Miss Xi.

Xi Leng was still immersed in thinking about how to retaliate against Tang Li when Song Beiye reminded her, and she suddenly realized what was going on.

He was almost driven mad by Tang Li.

Today, Song Beiye is her biggest rival.

So she immediately turned the gun around.

"Why put it so harshly? What era are we living in? Do you still think nepotism is a good thing?"

If the Song family had someone capable of taking on this important task, they wouldn't have been reduced to letting her, an adopted daughter, seize power.

However, while Xi Leng had quickly detached herself from her romantic feelings, Song Bei Ye continued to defend Tang Li relentlessly.

"Miss Xi also knows that one should not appoint people based on personal relationships, so on what basis does Miss Xi think that I cannot protect an outsider?"

This is truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

Xi Leng was speechless.

She paused for a moment before jokingly saying:

"You're really going all out. For a woman who doesn't love you at all, you're willing to squander the family business. You even dared to send the person your brother wanted to protect until his death to prison. It seems that in your heart, brotherhood is no match for a woman."

It wasn't until after Song Beiyu's death that Song Beiye, as the older brother, realized that the reason he had been able to hold power in the Song family for so many years was because his younger brother had been supporting him behind the scenes.

The two brothers, one in the public eye and the other in private, have supported each other to get to where they are today.

The news of his younger brother's death is now known to the entire Song family. Although it has not been officially announced to the public, Song Bocheng's eagerness to bring his adopted daughter Xi Leng back is enough to prove that they have never taken Song Beiye seriously.

Faced with Xi Leng's mockery, Song Beiye calmly replied:

“Your attempts to sow discord won’t work on me. Otherwise, you could try going to the underworld and talking to my brother.”

The implication is, "Go to hell."

When it comes to how to curse elegantly, Song Beiye has certainly reached a new level.

After repeated setbacks, Xi Leng knew that if he didn't adjust his mindset, it might affect his mood for the entire afternoon.

So she stopped trying to gain the upper hand verbally and instead reminded Song Beiye:

"That woman is not simple. If you waste your time, energy, money and resources on her, be careful that you don't end up with nothing."

Song Beiye stood up, walked to her side, and uttered a soft sentence:

"Likewise."

West Lake is fast-paced:

“I am different from Shen Yu. Even if we can’t be husband and wife for half a lifetime, we will still be the closest people to each other.”

Song Beiye sneered:

"I think it's quite the opposite. You'll see."

After saying that, he walked out.

On Tang Li's side, the battle had ended quickly, concluding with Lin Qinghao apologizing.

Seeing Lin Qinghao's expression of wanting to devour her alive, Tang Li couldn't help but shake her head: "Today I've truly come to understand what it means to be lonely at the top. Lin Jingzhong is really a failure; none of his daughters are any good fighters."

Huo Chenyu was still somewhat uneasy:

"Lin Qinghao has been able to hide for so many years, which shows that she has some tricks up her sleeve. You'd better be careful."

Tang Li bowed his head in greeting:

"Mr. Huo, if you don't let go of my hand soon, I'm going to call for help."

Huo Chenyu asked with a smile:

"Are you going to start calling me 'husband' now?"

Old man my foot!

Tang Li stepped on his instep and then distanced herself from him: "Mr. Huo, as Miss Song's companion, openly entangled with his ex-wife in front of everyone. You're slapping Miss Song in the face. She's the main character today."

Huo Chenyu didn't care about any of that; he took two steps closer.

"To me, wherever you are, you are the main character."

A man who has been divorced and broken up once speaks in a completely different way.

Tang Li asked with a smile:

"Oh, then tell me, what about the places where I'm not?"

Huo Chenyu leaned closer and whispered:

"I don't want to go anywhere without you."

Tang Li pushed him away:

"Mr. Huo has become increasingly greasy since the divorce, but I'm sorry, I've recently become a vegetarian and can't stand the smell of meat."

Huo Chenyu reached out and put his arm around her waist:

"My fault. It seems I made you forget the joy of tasting the sweetness of the marrow. How about I accompany you tonight to have a proper taste?"

This car is really something; you can just start driving it whenever you want.

Tang Li did not break free, but looked at Song Beiye who was walking over from not far away and questioned him:

"It seems that President Song's words are not reliable."

Song Beiye was completely bewildered.

Seeing that he didn't get it, Tang Li snorted:

"President Song swore to my fourth brother that he would protect me, but now that my ex-husband is harassing me like a leech, President Song is doing nothing."

I see.

Song Beiye had originally come to help her out of that predicament.

Tang Li's words gave him confidence.

His back straightened, his posture improved, and he extended his hand towards Huo Chenyu:
