She was very tired.

When will this fighting finally end?

Gently patting her shoulder, Ouyang Zhoujing asked, "Does Zhong Guan also want you to marry me?"

If he remembered correctly, Fang Yu said that Zhong Guan took Song Nuan away. If that's the case, the key to solving the problem should lie with Zhong Guan, not Zhong Qingya.

Song Nuan sneered, "A crown?"

The crown is even more outrageous.

"He asked me for shares in Berlin Jewelry. I can still fulfill Zhong Qingya's request, but him?" Song Nuan didn't even bother to answer, "Where am I supposed to get shares in Berlin Jewelry for him?"

Ouyang Zhoujing was completely confused.

"Berlin Jewelry is A Jing's brand, so it's impossible that Zhong Guan didn't even know this much."

Song Nuan clenched her fist, a pang of bitterness rising in her heart. "Li Jingchen told him personally that I got the shares in Berlin Jewelry."

Ouyang Zhoujing: "?"

His face was full of doubt and confusion.

Even he couldn't understand how things were going.

"However, the truth is that I did not receive any share transfers, nor did I receive any notification from him." As she said this, Song Nuan found it amusing.

How could she not know? She was probably being used as a scapegoat.

Because Zhong Qingya was being held captive by Li Jingchen, Zhong Guan demanded shares of Berlin Jewelry from Li Jingchen. Li Jingchen lied and said that he had given her Berlin Jewelry, and he didn't know how he made Zhong Guan believe him.

That's why she was inexplicably dragged into the vortex of the conflict between their two families.

"I'll ask Ah Jing for clarification."

Ouyang Zhoujing reached out to grab the phone.

"No need." Pressing his hand down, Song Nuan said calmly, "There's no need. He's been very busy lately."

"This concerns your safety!"

Song Nuan forced a smile, but it was a bitter one. "If he cared about my safety, he wouldn't have tricked Zhong Guan into giving it to me just to avoid handing over Berlin Jewelry."

There are definitely more ways to save the Berlin Jewelry than just this one.

Once you sit down at the negotiating table, there's no such thing as a deal that can be reached in one go; it always involves several back-and-forth negotiations.

Li Jingchen pushed her out to take the blow.

This is undoubtedly the fastest way.

The conflict has been transformed, hasn't it? Anyway, the Zhong family already had a lot of opinions about her. By escalating the conflict between the Zhong family and her, he will have some breathing room.

"Warm and cozy..."

Song Nuan hugged her legs, curled up on the sofa, looking tiny.

Ouyang Zhoujing couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment. It felt like something was blocking his chest, a dull, astringent feeling. It wasn't exactly painful, but it was precisely this vague discomfort that made him feel even worse.

He stared at her for a few seconds.

He then gently pulled her into his arms.

Song Nuan was stunned for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, she broke free and frowned at him, "Zhou Jing, we should..."

Before she could even say "keep some distance between us," Ouyang Zhoujing interrupted her, "Song Nuan, let's get married, just like Zhong Qingya said."

Song Nuan was completely stunned.

Do you know what you're saying?

"I know."

Song Nuan refused without hesitation, her words firm and resolute: "Impossible!"

"Because you still can't let go of A-Jing?"

"It has nothing to do with him. I don't like you at all."

Seeing the fleeting look of hurt on his face, Song Nuan belatedly realized she had spoken too harshly and regretted it. She bit her lip, thought for a few seconds, and patiently explained to him.

"Who is Zhong Qingya? She's agreed so readily now, but it's hard to say whether she'll really let me go later!"

"But once you become Mrs. Ouyang, she will eventually have to consider your status."

Song Nuan opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute, but found that she couldn't refute it at all.

The advantages of the Ouyang family are obvious.

She could only say, "You and Li Jingchen are both from the four great families. Marrying you would mean facing the same problems as marrying Li Jingchen, and I don't want to face those."

"and--"

After a pause of more than ten seconds, he said, "Once we get married, there will be no way to salvage your relationship."

“The Li family is already the head of the four major families. Not to mention that after he married Zhong Qingya, with the help of the Zhong family, he is even more powerful. As for me and the Song family behind me, we can't help you at all.”

"We even need your help."

It's harsh, but it's the truth.

After Song Nuan took over the Song family business, her first major project was a collaboration with Maple Leaf Hotel.

The Maple Leaf Hotel was a project given to her by Ouyang Zhoujing.

Ouyang Zhoujing smiled calmly and said lightly, "Unless Zhong Guan is a masochist, I can't think of any reason why he would help A-Jing."

Song Nuan's expression changed, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Never mind," he said, seeing her resistance, and didn't force her. "Think it over carefully. What I just said will always be true for you."

Song Nuan bit her lip.

He clearly didn't do anything, so why did she feel even more guilty towards him?

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Jiang's voice rang out from the doorway, "President, I've bought what you requested."

Ouyang Zhoujing got up and returned with a bag in his hand.

"Let's eat first."

Having not eaten for nearly eight hours, Song Nuan was indeed hungry. She picked up her chopsticks and buried her head in her food, finishing the entire takeout meal in no time, leaving nothing behind.

Ouyang Zhoujing handed her a tissue, "Just stay here and relax for now. I'll have Zhong Guan take good care of you."

Song Nuan didn't know what to say.

At this moment, any words of gratitude seem inadequate.

Seeing her embarrassment, Ouyang Zhoujing smiled indulgently and reached out to pat her head. "It's getting late, I have things to do at the company, I'll be going now."

She hummed in agreement.

Only after the door closed did Song Nuan finally let out the breath that had been choking her.

"whispering sound--"

The tablet was tossed aside, its screen facing down on the table. Taking off her headphones, Zhong Qingya said with a disdainful look, "Two idiots, they've really put on a romantic show like they're in the rain."

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Zhoujing actually wanted to marry Song Nuan.

Zhong Qingya was so angry she felt like her teeth were about to break.

Arranging for Song Nuan to marry Ouyang Zhoujing was a spur-of-the-moment idea of ​​hers. In addition to causing Li Jingchen pain, she also wanted to turn Li Jingchen and Ouyang Zhoujing against each other.

It would be best if the four major families split up, given the growing animosity between them.

More importantly, we can see Song Nuan being slowly corrupted by the rules of the wealthy clan.

Killing three birds with one stone.

But now that she sees Ouyang Zhoujing taking the initiative to be with her and handing the initiative over to Song Nuan, Zhong Qingya feels inexplicably unhappy!

Both of them are mentally challenged.

Where does love come from in the upper class?

It's all just an exchange of interests.

Saying you love someone simply means that you haven't crossed each other's bottom line regarding your interests yet.

Zhong Qingya sneered, picked up her tablet, took out her phone, took a few pictures, and opened her WeChat chat with Li Jingchen. The screen was filled with green messages from her.

Zhong Qingya's face darkened.

It made her seem like a simp.

She exited the page, deleted the chat box, searched for Li Jingchen's chat window again, and sent him the photo.

'Let me show you something interesting.'

"Tell me, what are you struggling with? What's wrong with forming a powerful alliance with the Zhong family? Look at the woman you like; you're trying to get back to single life, while she's already hooking up with your best friend."
