Song Beiye nodded:
"You've had a barbecue, seafood, flowers, and sea breeze. If you don't have anything else to do, head home early. I'll come find you after I finish what I'm doing."
Tang Li remained silent.
"I just arrived today, and I haven't even had enough of the sea yet."
Song Beiye reached out and put his arm around her shoulder:
"What's so interesting about the sea here? I'll take you to see a wider world and a more vast ocean in the future. I guarantee you'll love it."
Oh.
Look at how well this cake has been drawn.
Tang Li darted out of his arms in a flash, walking towards the elevator while saying:
"It seems my fourth brother didn't tell you that I have a poor appetite and bad teeth, and I dislike eating the empty promises you make."
The reason for staying at the room booked by Song Beiye was to give Zha Zhongqi time to slip away quickly.
Tang Li breathed a sigh of relief after entering the elevator.
“I’ve decided to stay on this street for a while. If you don’t welcome me, I’ll just walk down the street with my head down.”
Song Beiye was helpless:
"Tang Li, just this once, listen to me. Go back to Jincheng or Tanzhou first. Huo Chenyu has had such a big incident, as his ex-wife, you should go and check on him."
He looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
They would rather push her toward Huo Chenyu than leave her in Lucheng.
Tang Li, on the contrary, became even more excited:
"What? You're in such a hurry to get rid of me, are you worried I'll find out something? Do you have a wife and kids? Or a fiancée or girlfriend? Or maybe you have a bunch of unresolved romantic entanglements and you're afraid I'll think you're unreliable?"
Song Beiye actually got anxious.
"Tang Li, before I met you, I was a bit of a flirt, but I wasn't promiscuous. After meeting you, not only is my body pure, but my heart is also clean and unified."
I've seen Huo Chenyu's anxious and jealous side; he's wild and domineering.
The first time I saw a man like Song Beiye making himself sound wronged, I found him strangely endearing.
Tang Li felt a pang of guilt, but still steeled herself and teased him:
"Then what are you afraid of?"
Song Beiye said in a low voice:
"I'm afraid I can't protect you."
"ah?"
Tang Li pretended not to hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Song Beiye pulled her arm out of the elevator, to the door of the room, and let her in, while he stood outside:
"Just listen to me this once, and I'll finish up as soon as possible to come find you. I'll go with you to any place you want to go and do any thing you want to do, and I'll help you with it. I mean what I say."
Tang Li grabbed his hand:
"I dislike being controlled by others. If you don't want me to be targeted without any preparation, I would prefer you to tell me the truth."
Tang Li's words had a hidden meaning.
Song Beiye keenly observed:
"What do you know?"
Tang Li stated frankly:
“I heard you. You said you were afraid you couldn’t protect me, but I want to tell you that the reason Huo Chenyu and I have come to this point is because he has never trusted me. He has always treated me as a weakling. But you men will never know that we women only pretend to be weak in front of the people we love when things are peaceful. Once we are defeated, we will only become stronger.”
Song Beiye was stunned.
Tang Li softened his voice:
"We women don't need men to carry our burdens; on the contrary, we'd rather fight alongside them."
What a great teamwork!
Song Beiye's eyes reddened, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made up his mind:
"Since you don't want to leave, I won't force you. Let's go inside and talk."
Tang Li turned slightly to the side, and after Song Beiye went in, she closed the door.
I turned around and glanced at the room. It was carefully decorated, with nightlights twinkling in the bright light, and the room was filled with fresh flowers and pretty fruits.
Song Beiye was actually a little shy:
"I was originally planning to take you to have a good time in Lucheng for a few days, so I prepared this room in advance when I knew you were coming."
Unexpectedly, Tang Li ditched them at the airport and then came here to book a room by himself.
Tang Li obediently turned off the lights, and the romance in the room blended seamlessly with the night view outside, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Tang Li walked to the balcony, sat down, and waved to him:
"Come sit down, let's chat slowly, I'm not sleepy right now anyway."
Song Beiye walked over, and the two of them lay down on the chairs on the balcony, one on each side, gazing at the night sky.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Tang Li spoke first.
After some deliberation, Song Beiye found a starting point:
“When my grandfather was alive, he left an inheritance, saying that if my father and his two brothers ever went their separate ways, they would draw lots to decide who would inherit the property. You should have heard that six years ago, the Song Nanzhou family split off from the Eastern Song. Tomorrow, my eldest uncle has decided to hand over all his properties to his adopted daughter, Xiling, to manage.”
Although Song Beiye didn't explain, Tang Li understood.
"So tomorrow your Song family will draw lots to decide who inherits your grandfather's share of the estate."
Song Beiye nodded:
Do you know what my grandfather left behind?
Tang Li shook his head:
"How could I possibly know?"
Song Beiye sighed:
"It's 21% of the shares of the Eastern Song headquarters. Currently, my uncle and I each hold 30% of the shares in Eastern Song, and the remaining 19% are held by people in Southern Song."
Therefore, anyone could take over the Eastern Song headquarters.
Song Nanzhou had long since withdrawn from the struggle between the Eastern Song Dynasty, so it wouldn't matter if either side won it.
