The Song family.

When Song Qinze returned home today, he noticed something was wrong. His mother, Liu Meiqin, came over and said to him, "Qinze, go check on your sister. She locked herself in her room as soon as she got back and won't come out or eat. No matter how I call her, she won't listen. Did something happen at the company today?"

Song Qinze said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll go check on it now."

Song Wan has never had any problems at work, so the reason she's like this is probably due to relationship issues.

He came to the room and knocked on the door.

Anticipating that she wouldn't be able to open it, I took the key and opened it myself.

In the large room, she sat alone at the table writing, with scraps of paper scattered all over the floor.

Song Qinze picked up the paper and saw that it was covered with Quan Ye's name written in calligraphy.

She's almost gone mad.

Song Wan wrote furiously, completely ignoring the person who came in.

"Stop writing."

Song Qinze stepped forward, pressed down on her hand, and took the calligraphy brush away, tossing it aside.

Her frantic actions were stopped, and she slumped into a chair in despair, her eyes lifeless.

"Get up."

He lifted her by the back of her collar and carried her to the large mirror in front of the dressing table.

Song Wan looked up and saw her disheveled reflection in the mirror. Her hair was messy, and her pale face was bloodless, a stark contrast to her usual radiant and beautiful appearance.

"Look at you! Are you still the esteemed young lady of the Song family? Or the decisive and efficient businesswoman of the Song Corporation?!"

Song Qinze shook her off, his voice turning low.

"You've been so devastated by such a small relationship issue. What did you tell me before? That you should prioritize your career, and that Quan Ye is just an asset in your work. You can't make him your everything, understand?"

Song Wan slumped into a chair, muttering to herself, "I know I'm bringing shame to the Song family in this state. I shouldn't be arguing with a woman whose status is completely different from mine, but I'm just not reconciled. Why is it that after all I've given, he still doesn't like me?"

"Quan Ye is cold-hearted by nature; you shouldn't have fallen in love with him."

"But I just can't control myself. I love him, and I want to marry him. Am I wrong?"

"Your mistake was loving to the point of losing your sense of proportion. Those were not things you should have done. What good would it do you to lower yourself like that?"

Song Wan growled, "Brother, you've never loved anyone, you wouldn't understand that feeling!"

Song Qinze's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, "When we go out to eat, don't make me pay a second time."

In the restaurant, Liu Meiqin sat anxiously in a chair, waiting. When she saw Song Qinze come down, she quickly asked, "How is your sister? Did you manage to calm her down?"

He sat down calmly, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Let's eat."

Liu Meiqin didn't dare to ask any more questions and waited anxiously.

After a while, Song Wan came downstairs, looking much better than before.

Song Qinze said, "Tomorrow is the opening of the Qin Group's scenic spot. I'll take you there to relax."

"Brother, I don't want to go."

"You don't have to go, but take off that mournful face. No one in our family has died."

Liu Meiqin: "Qinze, how could you say that about your sister? Speak properly!"

Song Qinze ate a few bites of rice, put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said, "I'm full, you guys eat. I have things to do at the company."

"You're full after eating this much? Do you have the appetite of a kitten?"

Liu Meiqin sighed softly and put more food on Song Wan's plate. "If your brother isn't eating, then you should eat more. You've lost weight lately."

Song Wan: "Mom, don't you think my brother's come back this time seems a little strange?"

"No, your brother has always been like this."

Song Wan couldn't quite describe her feelings; perhaps she was overthinking it.
