A look of sorrow flashed across Kong Sang's eyes. She couldn't hold onto any hope; it would only cause her more pain!

She could only endure it by telling herself that there was no one else to rely on; otherwise, she would have become weak.

Pushing Lin Changli aside, Kong Sang rummaged through her handbag, took out a syringe, and injected it into her arm. The pain subsided like a receding tide, and Kong Sang finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away the dense cold sweat from her forehead.

With his arm gripped, Lin Changli frowned: "What's wrong with your body? What did you inject?"

Kong Sang said dismissively, "Gene therapy? Haven't you all taken it before?"

Qi Yunshen's narrow eyes flickered slightly: "It's not quite the same. Those with mutated genes need to take gene-protecting drugs orally every month to prevent the mutated genes from regressing."

"I've never seen injections before, and... Miss Nie always seems to be extremely uncomfortable, which is why she uses gene therapy to suppress it. It's different from us. What could be the reason for this?"

"If Minister Qi is asking on behalf of Country C, then I have nothing to say. But if he is speaking on his own behalf, then I can tell you that the Nie family is involved in the research and development of gene-based drugs."

"It's normal for medicines to be updated and replaced. As the eldest daughter of the Nie family, it's perfectly normal that you haven't seen the products I use. Besides... the Nie family is a deep and complicated place, and I really don't want to see you die young."

Qi Yunshen nodded: "I received your well-intentioned warning, and I won't ask again."

"Miss Nie, what a coincidence!"

Kong Sang looked over at the sound and saw Xu Lin awkwardly walking over with water in his arms, while Shen Yu remained calm.

A group of lackeys followed behind, all led by the Xiao sisters.

Xiao Cha didn't seem to be in much spirits. She didn't look at Nie Kongsang like she used to, like a fighting cock, as if she wanted to peck him. It seems she was taught a lesson when she got home from the last banquet.

The speaker was Xiao Cha's older sister, Xiao Yue.

They couldn't sit still anymore? It happened earlier than expected.

She has a beautiful appearance, and even in a white tracksuit, her noble air is still evident; she clearly comes from a good family.

He walks at a leisurely pace, with a slight smile on his face, and always speaks to everyone with polite and courteous manners. No wonder he has such a good reputation in the industry.

She just couldn't keep it up; she couldn't pretend anymore, and you have to admire that.

"Minister Qi, President Lin, Young Master Si, it's been rumored that you've been getting very close to the Nie family's daughter lately, and it seems to be true."

That's a very clever way to put it. The Nie family has two daughters right now. Which one are they closer to?

Si Yu, nonchalant and evasive, asked, "Isn't this the beautiful Xiao? What a coincidence!"

Xiao Yue covered her mouth and smiled: "I can't be worthy of being called a beauty by Young Master Si. I brought my sister here to kill some time. I just happened to see the people with Miss Nie, so I came to say hello."

"After all... the Nie family has had a lot of trouble lately. Has Miss Nie's mood improved? Xiao Cha was quite offensive at the banquet, and my parents have already reprimanded her. I apologize on her behalf."

Kong Sang smiled generously: "There's no need for that. I've known Xiao Cha for many years. He's straightforward and quite fun. I've been missing you a lot lately since you haven't been to the Nie family."

"Keep going. I'll find some time to have my brother have dinner with us. It would be great if you could be my sister-in-law; at least I wouldn't be bored."

Xiao Cha gasped, "Nie Kongsang, are you serious?"

"Really, come to the Nie family to see me on Monday, I'm not lying to you."

"Ah, Nie Kongsang, you're so great, I love you to death."

Xiao Cha rushed over and hugged Nie Kongsang, her joy was beyond words. The two chatted and laughed and made up, completely ignoring her older sister Xiao Yue.

Xu Lin clicked his tongue in amazement. The young lady was amazing; she had managed to bring that girl's younger sister to her side in the blink of an eye...

As Mr. Nie's receptionist, he knew a lot about things.

For example... both Xiao sisters are interested in President Nie, but the younger sister doesn't know that her older sister also likes the man she has her eye on, and she's been foolishly taken advantage of all along...

Xiao Yue's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes turned somewhat cold: "Miss Nie... isn't it inappropriate to make decisions about President Nie on your own? Won't Xiao Cha cause you trouble?"

"Hey, don't you know my brother loves me to death and he indulges everything I do? Why would you ask that?"

Xiao Cha immediately chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Everyone knows how much Jingxing dotes on his sister. What's wrong with having a meal together? Sister, don't worry about it. If you ruin my plans, who will I cry to?"

Seeing Xiao Yue purse her lips, Kong Sang laughed out loud. Torturing others made her feel good.

He seemed unable to bear seeing Nie Kongsang so pleased with himself.

Xiao Yue said with a smile, "I really envy Miss Nie. President Lin publicly professed his love for her and was able to acquire the company she wanted to promote a male star. She lives such a carefree life. Isn't President Lin jealous?"

She panicked, she panicked! This was a blatant provocation of Lin Changli's anger.

Nie Kongsang said playfully, "So what if I'm jealous? Are you going to lock me up in a dark room? I'm Nie Kongsang, who can do anything to me?"

"If you ask me, the Xiao family isn't exactly a small or insignificant family. You always act all high and mighty, which is really awkward to watch. You never give men a chance to pamper you, so how can you expect any man to love you?"

"How old are you this year? If I remember correctly, you're three years older than me, right? My goodness, thinking about it... you still don't have a boyfriend. Are you planning to stay single?"

Xiao Yue's smile vanished, and Xiao Cha glanced at Nie Kongsang with admiration before quickly lowering her head to minimize her presence.

Her sister seems easy to get along with, but she's actually the complete opposite...

Xiao Yue looked at the nearby sports field and said bluntly, "Let's play a game."

Kong Sang smiled and said, "I'll play along."

Xiao Yue nodded to everyone and walked out. Yu Wei was confused and said, "Weren't we supposed to have a match? Why are you leaving?"

Xiao Cha said strangely, "No, you don't think my sister meant to fight in person when she said 'let's have a showdown,' do you? You should go out and broaden your horizons with Nie Kongsang more."

Qi Yunshen frowned and defended him, saying, "It's not a good thing, you don't need to learn it."

Xiao Cha opened her mouth, but considering Qi Yun Shen's status, she dared not say anything more.

Nie Kongsang beckoned to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu approached and, before Nie Kongsang could speak, said with a smile, "I know you won't bow down to anyone except the Nie family. I won't let you lose."

Lin Changli looked over with sharp eyes, but Shen Yu met his gaze without any fear.

Kong Sang paused for a moment. Well, this guy must have done a lot of research behind the scenes; he seems to know her quite well…

"Yes, you know that's good. I can handle any consequences. All I care about is winning. If you make me lose face, don't ever show your face in front of me again, understand?"

Shen Yu chuckled and said, "I know." He then walked alone towards the venue.

Just then, Xiao Yue returned, followed by a well-built man.

Xiao Cha said speechlessly, "I'm telling you, Nie Kongsang, do you even want to win? You're putting a weak star against a retired national team player. Isn't that like throwing an egg against a rock?"

Kong Sang chuckled: "Look how anxious you are. Don't worry, I won't involve you in the outcome. I'll let you see my brother."

Xiao Cha finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You're so loyal. I'm sorry for what happened before. I sincerely apologize to you and I won't say a bad word about you again."

"Hehe, okay, I'll remember that."

Seeing Kong Sang smiling, as if she really didn't hold a grudge about those things, Xiao Cha finally smiled, happily hugged Kong Sang's arm, and looked at the battlefield over there.

Yu Wei's eyelids twitched. She seemed to have discovered another characteristic of Kong Sang... He was really good at fooling people!
