Leng Yue looked thoughtfully at Song Jingci, then at the perfect, pianist-like hand in front of her, and slowly extended her own hand, softly replying, "Leng Yue, that's my name."

The two clasped hands briefly and then quickly let go, without any further action.

“You… look so young…” Song Jingci gave off a clean and refined impression, and spoke slowly without any aggression.

"What? Can't we come here?" Leng Yue asked, her eyes darting around.

Song Jingci waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, it's just that... you seemed to be quite strong just now..." He finished speaking, touched his nose, and coughed awkwardly, "It's the first time I've seen a girl as strong as you."

Leng Yue remained noncommittal, giving Song Jingci a once-over. "Why don't you say it's because you're too delicate?"

Actually, in Leng Yue's opinion, it would have been abnormal if both of them had bumped into each other and fallen to the ground. If she hadn't been wearing high heels, Song Jingci would have been the only one sitting on the ground.

Being pushed by a girl at the intersection of Heji Road was already a humiliation for Leng Yue. Although the other girl did it when she was off guard, it was still because she wasn't careful enough.

Although her collision with Song Jingci was sudden, she reacted immediately. Therefore, she shouldn't have fallen, but this time her high heels prevented her from doing so.

Song Jingci had no idea about Leng Yue's complicated thoughts. He only felt that the little girl in front of him was very interesting and not easy to mess with.

Seeing Leng Yue's suspicious gaze, Song Jingci smiled again, a hint of helplessness on his face. He didn't dwell on Leng Yue's question, instead asking, "Miss Leng, are you alright?"

Leng Yue shook her head, "As you can see, I'm quite strong!" Leng Yue didn't explicitly say she was a strongman, but her words subtly implied that she wasn't injured and that Song Jingci was physically weak…

"It's good that Miss Leng is alright, I..." Before Song Jingci could finish speaking, a pair of soft hands wrapped around his arm. "Aci, is this your friend? She's so young. Is it appropriate for her to be here at such a young age?"

Song Jingci looked at Leng Yue and introduced her, "Miss Leng, this is my girlfriend Zhang Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu, this is Miss Leng Yue."

"I bumped into Miss Leng by accident just now, so we exchanged a few words. I was just about to come find you!" Song Jingci held Zhang Xiuxiu's hand, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Zhang Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I came looking for you since I never see you here."

Leng Yue remained silent, simply watching the interaction between the two. Song Jingci wore a black suit, while Zhang Xiuxiu wore a pure white evening gown.

Both of their suits were quite traditional, lacking any flashy elements. However, due to their well-fitting cuts and excellent attention to detail, it was clear that their attire was actually understated yet luxurious.

Song Jingci was over 180 centimeters tall, with a handsome and refined appearance. Zhang Xiuxiu, wearing sky-high heels, only reached his armpits, but her white dress made her appear petite and delicate. With her exquisite and appropriate makeup, the two looked extremely well-matched standing together.

Moreover, having lived two lives, Zhang Xiuxiu is very good at reading people and speaking softly and gently, like a blooming white lotus.

Leng Yue thought that while not every man would like a woman like that, she could certainly charm a whole bunch of men.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xiuxiu finished speaking, Song Jingci looked at her with some concern, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Were you anxious?"

Zhang Xiuxiu shook her head, then smiled again, her smile breathtakingly beautiful. "No, no, I'm just a little worried about you."

Actually, Zhang Xiuxiu became anxious as soon as she saw Leng Yue, which is why she rushed over. If she hadn't been stopped on the way, she would have rushed over long ago.

The moment she saw Song Jingci and Leng Yue collide, Zhang Xiuxiu was extremely nervous. She kept repeating in her heart: She knew it, they were destined to be together in their past lives!

When she finally shook off her pursuers, she saw Song Jingci laughing and chatting with Leng Yue. She had to admit, this scene stung her eyes. In a short time, the hatred in her heart reached its peak. Why? Why wasn't Leng Yue raped? Why was she still unharmed? Why did she have to take back the person she had finally gotten close to and won over? Why? Why?

Zhang Xiuxiu knew she needed to calm down and couldn't just go out like that. So, she went to the bathroom and carefully fixed her makeup.

Looking at her beautiful yet distorted face in the mirror, Zhang Xiuxiu desperately tried to calm herself down.

Song Jingci and Leng Yue were both figures who lived in her imagination. Back then, Leng Fei would tell her every day how amazing his daughter and son-in-law were, how loving they were, and how beautiful their love story was. Therefore, after her rebirth, Song Jingci became her obsession.

Zhang Xiuxiu had also asked if Leng Fei's son-in-law was all looks and no substance, but actually very poor. Otherwise, why didn't they help Leng Fei pay off his debts?

Leng Fei hesitated at first, but later admitted that he had long since severed his father-daughter relationship with Leng Yue. This was because he had once considered "selling" Leng Yue to an elderly, nouveau riche.

After her rebirth, Zhang Xiuxiu was determined to win Song Jingci's heart. She wanted to have a romance with such a wonderful man and be pampered by him for a lifetime.

As for Leng Yue, she'd let her live the life Leng Fei envisioned, finding an older man to spend her life with. That way, no one could compete with her for Song Jingci.

Therefore, Zhang Xiuxiu used the information from her previous life to lay the groundwork and accumulate resources, striving to make everything happen according to her own ideas.

Indeed, that was the case; through hard work, she became a successful young entrepreneur. She then naturally met Song Jingci's family, and later, she met Song Jingci himself.

In public, Zhang Xiuxiu is a brilliant and successful female investor who dominates the business world. In private, she is Song Jingci's confidante and perfect girlfriend. Because she can see that Song Jingci likes her this way. Song Jingci's family also likes her this way—strong in public, gentle in private.

However, despite all her calculations, she hadn't anticipated Leng Yue's failure. She hadn't expected Wang Shengli to fail. Later, Zhang Xiuxiu orchestrated a car accident, but Leng Yue still managed to escape. So she accelerated her efforts to deal with Leng Fei, but unexpectedly, it backfired, and today Leng Yue and Song Jingci met ahead of schedule.

It must be said that Zhang Xiuxiu was incredibly flustered when she saw Leng Yue and Song Jingci collide. However, after experiencing so much, she quickly calmed down.

Finally, when she appeared with a perfect smile, her venomous gaze gone, she naturally asserted her dominance over Leng Yue. Everything, once again, was back under her control, just as she had planned.

"Are you hungry? Shall we get something to eat?" Song Jingci put his arm around Zhang Xiuxiu, glanced at Leng Yue, and asked, "Miss Leng, would you like to join us?"

Before Leng Yue could answer, Zhang Xiuxiu said, "Oh dear, she'll be embarrassed if we're together, after all, she's still young."

Leng Yue, abandoning her previous sharp tongue, smiled brightly, "No, I think I really like my older brother and sister!"

Zhang Xiuxiu's face instantly turned ashen, as if she had eaten shit...
