I don't know how to put it, but Kong Sang probably doesn't know about his relationship with the Cui family, and he doesn't want to talk about those things.

He tightened his arms: "It's nothing, just a feeling."

Kong Sang turned around and chuckled: "Then your seventh sense is very accurate. I am hiding something from you, but I don't want you to investigate. Lin Changli... you have to believe me, I have the ability to protect what I want to protect."

He lowered his head, their lips almost touching: "Is... me among those you want to protect?"

Kong Sang affirmed, "You are in first place."

His pupils narrowed slightly, and without hesitation, he kissed her. Kong Sang threw down the kettle, wrapped her arms around his neck, and returned the kiss.

She wanted to love this thing; she probably couldn't control herself. From the moment she received the photo, an indescribable anger swept over her, followed by heartache.

She even wanted to put aside all the trivial matters and just focus on finding out who this damned person was, tearing him apart and dismembering him. After calming down, she realized that no matter what about breaking up or not, she couldn't let go of Lin Changli at all.

"Ah!" Qi Ling exclaimed, covering her mouth.

The group followed the gaze and saw the bright sunlight casting a golden glow on the kissing couple, warm and dazzling.

Si Yu scoffed and looked away, suddenly realizing that he had gradually gotten used to the initial heart pain. One day... he would feel nothing anymore, which would probably mean he had completely let go.

Yu Wei smiled knowingly; it's truly wonderful to meet someone you love.

Her palms felt slightly warm, and she slowly tightened her grip, holding onto the hand that someone had reached out to her.

Her lips were practically bleeding from that kiss, and he still had no intention of letting her go. He even dragged her upstairs. If someone hadn't come to pick up Qi Ling, Kong Sang would have really been dragged upstairs.

Apart from Qi Ling from Kongsang, everyone else was surprised that the First Lady had actually made the trip in person…

The entourage was impressive, and Cui Ying brought a large group of people. She was well-dressed and her every move was elegant.

Even though she's long past her youthful and beautiful years, she's still very well-maintained, and the slight signs of aging only add to her mature womanly charm.

With a fake, official smile on her meticulously made-up face, she said, "I didn't expect so many people to be here, Miss Nie. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"How could that be? It's nice to have some fun together. It's just that Madam really cherishes Qi Ling, coming to pick her up personally. I wasn't prepared to fail to greet her properly and neglect the First Madam."

"What are you saying? Yun Shen is your future brother-in-law, so we're practically family."

"Well, you can't count it that way. It's a fact that I left the Nie family. Without that relationship, Yu Wei and I aren't really sisters anymore. Saying we're family is an exaggeration."

Seemingly surprised that Kong Sang would be so disrespectful in front of Yu Wei and Qi Yun Shen, Cui Ying said helplessly, "It seems that it will be difficult to establish a relationship with Miss Nie."

“In that case, let’s not talk about personal feelings. I think Miss Nie knows why I’m here. I wonder if you could help the Cui family? Just tell me your reward, and the Cui family will do their best to help.”

Kong Sang smiled gently, but his words were earth-shattering: "Madam is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either. 3 billion, I guarantee Young Master Cui will recover."

"Hiss." Qi Ling was shocked.

Everyone's expression froze; this was an astronomical price!

Cui Ying's smile faded considerably: "Miss Nie, are you joking?"

Kong Sang replied with surprise: "Why would you think that, Madam? Is 3 billion a lot? Every order I handle is worth hundreds of millions."

"The Cui family is such a large family, and Madam is the First Lady of Country C. Can't they come up with this little bit of money? Or is it that... Young Master Cui's legs aren't worth this much in Madam's eyes?"

Cui Ying's eyes held a hint of coldness, but she humbly replied, "Miss Nie's family is large and powerful, so it's different. The Cui family doesn't do business, and we can't compare to Miss Nie in terms of wealth. It would be difficult for us to come up with 3 billion."

"Hmm... It's difficult, not impossible. Asking for my help doesn't require any cost. Why would I help if there isn't enough profit? I could make a lot of deals with that time, couldn't I?"

Cui Ying sighed, "It seems the deal didn't go smoothly. Let's talk about personal relationships then. Miss Nie may not know, but I'm President Lin's aunt. Considering that relationship, is there anything more we can discuss?"

"What the hell?" Si Yu asked incredulously, picking at his ear.

Yu Weiqi and Yun Shen also looked at Lin Changli, whose face was icy cold...

Kong Sang harbored a deep-seated resentment, and Cui Ying was part of that resentment.

Her peach blossom eyes widened slightly in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Oh my, it's actually my ex-boyfriend's aunt!"

"What should we do? It's too much to not give face to the family. Let's give Madam a 2% discount. A 1% discount is a bit too much. I'll take the loss."

The blatant slap in the face caused Cui Ying's smile to completely vanish: "Miss Nie is young and has a long road ahead of her. It's better to leave her a way out. Qi Ling, let's go."

"Oh dear, is Madam angry? What should we do? Will she make it impossible for me to stay in Country C?"

"Then I'll have to talk to the president. Perhaps it's wise for him to have some self-awareness and go abroad to avoid the limelight."

"I have a very soft temper, and I am always taken advantage of by certain people. I have a lot of bitterness in my heart, but I don't know who to talk to. The president should understand and let me leave."

Cui Ying stopped in her tracks, leaving behind the words, "Miss Nie misunderstands. The business deal falling through doesn't mean anything. Country C will always be Miss Nie's home."

"That's good, that's good. After being suppressed by the Nie family for many years, my mental state is not very good. When I have an attack and go crazy, I don't even know what I might do to overturn the table. I'm relieved that you understand, Madam."

Cui Ying gave Kong Sang a deep look before leaving with Qi Ling, who kept turning back to look at her.

After they left, Lin Changli asked bluntly, "The Cui family used me to threaten you, what did you give them?"

Her smooth, lustrous hands gently caressed her eyebrows and eyes, which hinted at a deep blue hue.

Kong Sang smiled and said, "What nonsense are you thinking? You're all alone, and you're perfectly fine by my side. What can they use to threaten you?"

“There are some private conflicts, but MicroTrans will handle them very well for me. I am the founder of the Sandi Group, and I am not so easily defeated.”

"You can't stay idle. Go abroad and help me expand the sales channels for New Sprouts. Stop clinging to me every day. A man without ambition is not handsome at all."

After a moment of silence, Lin Changli said, "I'm going to the Lin family branch in Thailand tomorrow."

Kong Sang chuckled: "Good girl, have a safe journey."

While they were talking, Wei Sheng returned and went upstairs with Kong Sang, without even glancing at Lin Changli.

Si Yu couldn't hold back any longer: "Are you really leaving?"

"Are you even thinking straight?"

Lin Changli left with a sarcastic remark and put the phone to his ear: "Xu Lin, it's me. Let's meet."

Upstairs, Kong Sang sneered, "So, near the handover of the second batch of goods, you saw Cui Rong, the head of the Cui family?"

"Yeah, I guess he deliberately showed it to us. How could he not be anxious when his son got into trouble? He probably wanted to warn you to make sure his son recovers quickly."

Kong Sang's expression turned cold: "Heh, I just confirmed something. The Cui family probably sees me as a blood bag, wanting to continuously devour and sustain their family."

"Things have reached the worst point anticipated, so why should I hold back? Two sons are a bit too many, you know what I mean?"
