If the Lu and Lin families are prepared to fight to the death, even at the cost of ruining Jiang Xiaoxiao's reputation.

This isn't a big deal. Once they leave Kyoto, surely Song Yan can find Xiaoxiao a job?

This is just a hypothetical scenario. If things were to reach that point, Song Yan would definitely be able to destroy both of their families.

They probably can't bear to give up their current status and power.

So what's there to be afraid of?

The two sisters held hands together...

On the one hand, the Lu and Lin families wanted to find a middleman to mediate a settlement, and on the other hand, the terms in the negotiations for Xiaohu's purchase of the state-owned No. 1 Food Factory were much better than before.

When Chang Xiaohu expressed his dissatisfaction, the previously arrogant Director Lu surprisingly said that there was still room for negotiation.

Zhuo Yaqin knows Xia Mingjiu's mother. Although Xia's mother repeatedly said that she did not know Song Yan, his family still wouldn't let go of Xia's mother.

After Xia's mother repeatedly declined, they insisted that she let Xia Mingjiu go see Song Yan.

After all, Xia Mingjiu had known Song Yan and his wife for a long time.

They give Xia Mingjiu this today, and that tomorrow.

Xia Mingjiu couldn't hold on any longer either.

Xia Mingjiu went directly to Song Yan and asked her what her plans were.

Xia Mingjiu: "I've conveyed my message. Whether you understand or not, think it over and let me know."

I will definitely pass on the message.

My mission is now complete!

If his family continues to cause trouble, I won't be polite; I'll sue Lu Changzheng!

Song Yan: "You were originally a righteous and capable person, but now it's really difficult for you!"

I'm not a heartless person, so let's do this: as long as he compensates you to your satisfaction, I won't pursue the matter further!

Xia Mingjiu was beaten that day.

Xia Mingjiu thought he must have misheard, but Song Yan repeated it again.

Xia Mingjiu was in a daze when he left. How could Song Yan give him such a big favor?

Believe it or not, that's what Song Yan said, but there was one thing she specifically emphasized.

Song Yan can only decide his own thoughts; he cannot control others.

When Xia Mingjiu returned, he put on quite a show in front of Zhuo Yaqin.

Even Xia Mingjiu's mother, who always protected and doted on him, couldn't believe it. Had her son gone too far with his boasting?

She would beat her son to make him behave.

Because she was unreliable, Song Yan was being a little too agreeable.

However, Xia Mingjiu did not forget to ask Song Yan for compensation.

The Lu and Lin families wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, so they were very quick to compensate Xia Mingjiu and Song Yan.

Song Yan agreed to the settlement decisively and swiftly.

The matter with Chang Xiaohu hasn't even been settled yet!

Regarding the 2,000 yuan compensation sent by the Lu family, Song Yan wanted to make it clear that he accepted the money, so he wrote a receipt agreement at the time.

This agreement was drafted with the help of Deputy Factory Director Deng.

The wording here made the Lu and Lin families very uncomfortable.

For example, because the Lu and Lin families repeatedly harassed Song Yan, Song Yan finally agreed to forgive Lu Changzheng and Lin Yuanming for their hooligan behavior.

The Lu and Lin families assumed that Song Yan's statement was due to Xia Mingjiu's repeated visits.

When Song Yan accepted the compensation, there was an additional note attached.

Song Yan was unwilling to spend the money, so he donated it to the orphanage.

Zhuo Yaqin brought the money to the door, and when she saw the two agreements, she felt uneasy.

Song Yan: "Feeling uneasy?"

If you're not comfortable with this, don't come looking for me! I have to go to work, so goodbye!

Song Yan left Zhuo Yaqin waiting in the main room. The moment she moved, the big dog lying in the corner of the room barked at her.

Zhuo Yaqin sat there blankly for the entire morning.

Song Yan was impatient to see her, and even didn't want to see her.

After a grueling morning, Song Yan finally got off work.

Just as Zhuo Yaqin was about to say that the agreement was somewhat inappropriate, Song Yan told Chi Haibo to throw her out.

If Zhuo Yaqin hadn't clung tightly to the door frame, she would have been dragged out by the guard.

Seeing her angry and anxious expression, Song Yan remained calm and composed.

In fact, if Chi Haibo really wanted to kick her out, her clinging to the door frame wouldn't have made a difference.

Under Xia Mingjiu's persuasion, Song Yan reluctantly signed the document.

As Zhuo Yaqin left, she inwardly scorned Song Yan. "Didn't he just give in for the money?" she thought.

And this money... Lu Changzheng would have spent this much money no matter which girl he was pursuing, right? Song Yan isn't any more noble!

Lu Changzheng is still being held at the police station. The victim must write a letter of forgiveness before he can be released.

Song Yan readily wrote a letter of understanding.

The Lu and Lin families were very satisfied.

The procedures for selling the state-owned No. 1 Food Factory to the Sandao Street Food Factory were completed very smoothly.

Some departments even promised to handle any trouble caused by the original factory workers.

This was all agreed upon in the final sales contract.

But they waited for their son to come back, only to find that he was nowhere to be found.

Zhuo Yaqin went to see Xia Mingjiu again.

There were two people who initially reported the case.

Only one person agreed to withdraw the lawsuit and wrote a letter of understanding.

Lu Changzheng is still in custody.

Xia Mingjiu suddenly understood the meaning of Song Yan's last sentence.

Xia Mingjiu isn't stupid. He's refusing to go see Song Yan now because he's already taken care of Song Yan's matter.

It's not Song Yan who hasn't forgiven them.

Zhuo Yaqin felt that she had made amends.

Xia Mingjiu: Did you compensate the teacher who was beaten that night?

Zhuo Yaqin: "Wasn't all the compensation given to Song Yan?"

Xia Mingjiu chuckled and left without paying any attention to Zhuo Yaqin.

Xia's mother shook her head as she looked at Zhuo Yaqin, "That other comrade isn't some nobody, and you actually think that Song Yan's intervention is enough!"
