When Wenwen told that the girl she had a crush on someone, it wasn't a lie; she genuinely had her eye on a senior.

The senior student was majoring in mathematics, and she was majoring in finance. The two majors often collaborated, and that's how they got to know each other.

Most importantly, although this senior comes from an ordinary family, he doesn't act superior just because he's good at studying and looks, nor does he feel inferior or try to prove his dignity by belittling others just because his family background is worse than Song Wenwen's.

It was really just a simple pursuit, then a date. After learning about Wenwen's family background, he was only slightly surprised, and then acted as usual.

Song Xia had also met this boy before and gave him a very high evaluation.

The confirmation of their relationship actually solved a problem for Song Wenwen.

That is, when Ji Yunyang and Liao Yinyin approached her, trying to drag her back into their emotional entanglement, Yan Ming formally informed them that Song Wenwen was already dating him and asked them to stop bothering her.

"It's you!" Liao Yinyin obviously recognized Yan Ming. After all, he was a math genius, and it was hard for anyone at C University not to know him.

How can you two be together?

Song Wenwen was speechless: "Why can't we be together? We're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

"But Yunyang loves you, and he's done so much for you. How can you betray him?"

Ji Yunyang looked at Liao Yinyin with a hint of hesitation. Yan Ming pointed out their ulterior motives: "You two should talk if you want to. Don't always use Wenwen as an excuse. Do you two really not know whether Ji Yunyang likes you or Wenwen? Why are you being so secretive? Ji Yunyang, are you afraid your parents won't approve?"

Liao Yinyin's face turned pale: "It's not like that."

"No matter what your ulterior motives are, your past behavior has seriously disturbed Wenwen and even brought her a lot of bad rumors. If you continue like this, I don't mind making your relationship public."

"You can't do that, we're nothing."

"We meet once a week, but we always have a meal together. Ji Yunyang is really diligent to travel so far."

"He only asked me about Wenwen because he was pursuing her."

"You can only fool yourselves with such lies. Don't you find it ridiculous to say them out loud? Ji Yunyang, you don't even dare to admit that you like someone, and you make Wenwen take the blame. You still don't dare to stand up. I really despise you."

"Enough!" Ji Yunyang's face flushed red. "Song Wenwen, I won't bother you anymore."

With that, he pulled Liao Yinyin, whose face was also flushed, away.

Song Wenwen breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "You're really something, you finally stopped bothering me."

Yan Ming took her hand: "It's not that I'm good, it's that you find it troublesome and want to keep watching the show, don't you?"

Wenwen smiled awkwardly after her little secret was exposed.

"Although you are very capable, you should avoid trouble like this if possible. Who knows what a stubborn person might do when they are in a rage?"

"Your views are really similar to my mother's."

"Auntie has always been someone I greatly admire." Yan Ming wasn't just flattering her. After learning about Wenwen's mother's struggles, he always wanted to have a deep conversation with her every time they met. Every conversation brought him something new.

Song Wenwen smiled very happily because she resembled her mother in some way, which was perhaps one of the reasons why she liked Yanming.

I never thought I'd ever be in a relationship, but I met someone I truly like in my first year of university.

"I'll introduce you to my sister next time."

Do you have an older sister?

"Yes, we are not related by blood, but my sister is my mother's biological daughter. However, I was the only one who grew up by my mother's side."

These few words left Yan Ming completely bewildered. His logical reasoning was quite good, so why couldn't he understand them?

"Come on, let's find a place, and I'll tell you the story slowly..."

At that moment, Cheng Zhili, who was far away in Europe, sneezed. Although it was late at night, she was still rushing to finish her manuscript. She needed to prepare a piece for a competition, and she wanted to give this piece to Song's mother.

Actually, she had prepared something for her mother, but her mother refused to answer her calls several times before. After she couldn't get through to her again, she stopped calling and only found out how her parents were doing through her brother.

Seeing the email from her brother reassuring her not to worry and to focus on her studies, Cheng Zhili felt relieved.

However, the reality is that the Cheng family is once again in crisis, and it is more dangerous than ever before.

"No, I absolutely will not let you contact my sister." Cheng Zhibo said as he destroyed all contact information with Cheng Zhili.

As for the phone numbers in Cheng Shizhang and Yu Peiyan's phones, they had blocked them themselves because they were angry with Cheng Zhili before, so now the couple can't find them if they want to.

"You're insane! Only she can save the Cheng family now!"

“She can’t save the Cheng family. Telling her about the predicament will only add to her troubles.”

Yu Peiyan said frantically, "Do you know what kind of situation we will face if no one comes to save us?"

Cheng Zhibo's face turned pale: "Whose fault is this? It's all your fault for being too greedy."

"You will lose everything, even your favorite car, which is about to be auctioned off."

"If it's sold, it's sold."

"Slap!" Yu Peiyan slapped him hard. "You unfilial son!"

"Mom, let's accept reality. We've completely lost the Cheng family business."

"Go find Song Xia, she must have a way. She sold her stocks in advance, she must have known something."

Yu Peiyan's face twisted in disgust: "She just watched us jump into the pit, and she was perfectly fine with herself!"

"It's not that they're ruthless. Back then, you were all dreaming of the Cheng family returning to its peak. Who would have listened to your advice?"

Yu Peiyan wouldn't listen to any of that reasoning. She was determined to find Song Xia. Song Xia had no choice but to help, since the Cheng family had raised Song Xia's child!

Song Xia wasn't surprised at all that they came to her door.

Hearing Yu Peiyan's outrageous demands, she resolutely refused: "I can't fill this huge hole."

“How could you possibly not be able to make up for it? Your barbecue restaurants have spread all over the country, and you also have food factories and department stores; you have the capability to do so.”

"Why should I?" Song Xia raised an eyebrow. "What benefit would I get from helping you?"

Yu Peiyan stared intently at her: "If you help the Cheng family this time, I promise we won't bother Zhili and Song Wenwen anymore."

Song Xia laughed, though she didn't say anything, but Yu Peiyan felt extremely embarrassed. At that moment, all her pride and dignity vanished.

"I'll give you at most two million to buy your way out of City C."

Yu Peiyan's face twisted in disgust: "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? Are you really determined not to pay me this money?"

"I'm not going to be a sucker."

"We'll see."

Seeing the vicious look in her eyes before she left, Song Xia had a bad feeling.
