Chapter 242 An Unruly Father and Daughter
Lin Xi knew exactly what Song Xu was thinking. She raised her hand and touched his face. "Have you not been eating or sleeping well these past two days? You look so pale and have dark circles under your eyes."
"I miss you." Song Xu's words were half true and half false. He was really busy, and he used work to numb himself, otherwise he really couldn't sleep alone at night.
"Aren't you busy?" Lin Xi asked.
"Give me two more hours, and then we'll leave." Song Xu kissed Lin Xi hard, then returned to his desk to start working.
Lin Xi followed over, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"You can rest. If you're bored, you can read a book or look at documents," Song Xu said, knowing that Lin Xi couldn't stay idle.
She's not a company employee, so it's best if she doesn't look at the documents. The documents that end up in Song Xu's hands might contain confidential information.
Lin Xi walked to the bookshelf, picked out a finance book, and sat down on the sofa to start reading.
The only sounds in the office were the tapping of keyboards and the turning of pages; the two worked on their own tasks without disturbing each other.
The internal phone on his desk suddenly rang, startling Song Xu. He frowned as he answered, "Hello?"
"Xiao Xu, has Xi Xi arrived? Could you come to my office?" The person on the other end of the phone was Song Qingshi.
"Dad, I'm busy. You can handle it yourself." Song Xu didn't give his father any face. He was in a hurry to finish his work and take Lin Xi back to the apartment to be intimate. Going upstairs disrupted his plans.
The call was on speakerphone, and Lin Xi heard Song Qing curse, "You brat, get up here now."
Before Song Xu could refuse, Lin Xi walked over and said, "Uncle Song, Song Xu is busy. Can I go upstairs to find you myself?"
Upon hearing Lin Xi's voice, Song Qingshi's attitude immediately softened. "Xi Xi, come here then."
Song Xu hung up the phone and sighed, "Then I'll go up with you. It must be because of Shu Xi."
"No need, I'll have Jiang Nian come up with me. With Uncle Song there, nothing will happen. You go about your business." Lin Xi pressed Song Xu back down, asked for the location of Song Qingshi's office, and then walked out.
Song Xu did not follow. He trusted Lin Xi's abilities, and with Jiang Nian with him, safety was not a problem.
Lin Xi walked out of the office and found Jiang Nian. "Nian Nian, have you finished eating?"
Jiang Nian stood up and nodded. "I ate it all. Every dish was delicious. Xi Xi, your cooking is really good."
“If you like it, that’s fine,” Lin Xi said, taking Jiang Nian’s hand. “Come with me to the president’s office.”
“Okay,” Jiang Nian followed Lin Xi toward the elevator. “Who is the president of this company?”
“It’s Song Xu’s father,” Lin Xi explained. “He called me over because of the fight that just happened in the hall.”
"Will he blame you?" Jiang Nian asked worriedly.
“No,” Lin Xi said confidently, “maybe they will give me an explanation.”
Jiang Nian was relieved. She had gone a bit too far today. The male bodyguard she had knocked down probably had multiple fractures. Her biggest fear was that he would ask her to pay for his medical expenses.
"Xixi, those two male bodyguards are injured. They won't make us pay for it, will they?"
Lin Xi smiled. If the other party had called the police, she might actually have been able to pay for the medical expenses, but the other party wouldn't call the police now.
“No, they wouldn’t dare offend the Song family,” Lin Xi snorted. “If they want compensation, they don’t need to be afraid. I have an older brother who is a lawyer and can help me with the case for free.”
"Xixi, you're so lucky to have so many amazing older brothers protecting you. I'm so envious," Jiang Nian exclaimed.
"Are you an only child?" Lin Xi was unaware of Jiang Nian's family situation.
Jiang Nian hummed in agreement, then thought for a moment and realized something was amiss. "Actually, I have a half-sister, who was born to my father and his ex-wife, but I've never met her."
"Have you not been in contact at all?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
Jiang Nian sighed, "I'm not too sure of the specific reason, but it seems that my father's ex-wife is preventing him from seeing my sister. If he can't see her, then I certainly can't."
"I heard that my older sister is also very good at studying, just like you. If she had tutored me when I was in high school, I might have done even better on the exams."
It's all hypothetical. Jiang Nian shrugged. She probably won't see the legendary older sister in her lifetime.
Lin Xi patted her hand, "Maybe you'll see her tomorrow, just like me. I struggled on my own for over ten years, and then suddenly one day I had two older brothers."
And her mother!
"Thank you for your kind words!" Jiang Nian said casually, without taking it to heart.
The two quickly arrived at the door of the president's office, and Lin Xi knocked on the door.
"Please come in!" came Song Qingshi's voice from inside.
Lin Xi pushed open the door, took Jiang Nian's hand, and walked in together.
Several people were sitting in the spacious office, including Old Master Song, Director Shu, and Shu Xi.
Ignoring Director Shu and his daughter, Lin Xi greeted Grandpa Song first, "Grandpa Song, you're here too."
"Xixi's here, come and sit down." Grandpa Song patted the sofa next to him and said.
Lin Xi nodded, then looked at Song Qingshi, "Uncle Song, what did you call us here for?"
“Xi Xi, please have a seat,” Song Qingshi said. “I heard that you and Shu Xi had some unpleasantness in the lobby on the first floor just now.”
“It’s not that it’s unpleasant,” Lin Xi said, pulling Jiang Nian to sit on the sofa with her, her face grim. “If I hadn’t brought Jiang Nian here, the lobby on the first floor could have become a scene of murder.”
“This Miss Shu Xi called two burly bodyguards to beat me up.”
“Ms. Lin, you can’t talk nonsense,” Director Shu said. “The two bodyguards I hired were to protect my daughter, not to beat up others.”
"They attacked because you kicked my daughter first."
"Uncle Song, are all the employees in your company this rude?" Lin Xi's face darkened. She didn't even glance at Director Shu, but instead looked at Song Qingshi. "I'm talking to you, how can anyone interrupt me like this?"
“Lin Xi, are you kidding me? My dad isn’t just an employee, he’s a director of the company,” Shu Xi couldn’t help but say from the side.
Lin Xi snorted coldly, "Like father, like daughter, they're all more unruly than the last."
"Uncle Song, I'm not very familiar with your company's management structure. Can a director's power be higher than that of the president and chairman?"
Song Qingshi's eye twitched. His future daughter-in-law was quite imposing, no less so than his wife.
"You two shut up!" Before Song Qingshi could speak, Old Master Song spoke first, "You did something wrong, and you're still trying to argue."
“Chairman,” Director Shu said humbly to Old Master Song, “Didn’t you despise this woman the most? Xi Xi just wanted to teach her a lesson for you, so that she wouldn’t keep bothering Song Xu.”
