Chapter 139 She cannot be with other men!
Nanxia leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a casual smile. "I forced her to drink? Wasn't she the one who came to bother me while I was working? You'd better call your dog back."
She ran up to people and barked incessantly, then complained that they hit or scolded her? It's absolutely hilarious!
Upon hearing her description, Lin Yi clenched her hands tightly. Just wait and see how long she can stay in the law firm without Song Lu's protection.
"Click—" The conference room door suddenly opened, and Shen Yan, who had been standing outside for a while, walked in with a coffee cup in his hand and a smile on his face.
She has a sharp tongue, but she's also quite humorous.
When Song Yanzhi saw him enter, his expression unconsciously darkened.
"Here, have a cup of coffee. Don't get angry over trivial people." He placed the coffee cup in front of her and then glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground.
This woman is really good at stirring things up. She just secretly ruined her reputation in the break room, and now she's putting on a show for Song Yanzhi in the conference room.
However, the acting was quite good. It seems unlikely that Nan Xia and Song Yanzhi will ever reconcile.
"It's just an eyesore and it disturbs my work," Nanxia said, glancing at him.
"We've had a lot of meetings lately, and there aren't any spare meeting rooms available right now. I'll find you a different place in a few days." Shen Yan had originally wanted to ask her to come to his office, but he was worried that his father would cause trouble again, so he decided against it.
"Mmm," she replied.
He suddenly noticed a red mark on her neck and asked with concern, "What happened to your neck? Is it an allergic reaction?"
"I was pinched," Nan Xia said with a laugh. She has fair skin, and even a light pinch would leave a red mark, let alone being pinched so hard by someone who almost choked her to death.
"Who pinched you?" he asked again, frowning. He hadn't expected it to be Song Yanzhi. Didn't that man like her a lot?
"A...heartless bastard...let's not even mention him." Her expression was calm and indifferent, and she no longer felt any anger towards that man.
Did I really fall for the wrong person?
Looking at the conspicuous red mark on her neck, Song Yanzhi frowned deeply, feeling genuinely guilty; he hadn't done it on purpose.
But I can't bring myself to apologize now.
Shen Yan couldn't help but look at the man sitting opposite her. Knowing who it was, she smiled slightly and asked, "Would you like to come to my office for a while?"
"Okay." Nan Xia stood up, grabbed her phone, and left without even glancing at the man diagonally opposite her.
Shen Yan helped her take the coffee cup with her.
Watching the two of them together, Song Yanzhi felt a throbbing vein on the back of his hand. Suppressing his discomfort, he picked up a cigarette from the table and lit it.
I originally wanted to give up and let them have their way, but I just couldn't shake the feeling of unease.
Why should I grant their wish?
Even if he wasn't with her, he wouldn't allow her to be with other men! Smoke drifted through his narrowed eyes, and the obsessive force within him roared wildly.

After get off work.
Nan Xia had originally made plans to have dinner with Shen Yan, but suddenly received a call from Madam Song, who also invited her to dinner.
After thinking for a moment, she pushed Shen Yan aside and said that the client had an appointment at the last minute.
She arrived at a high-end Chinese restaurant, and when she went in, Mrs. Song was already seated inside and had ordered her food.
Madam Song knew that she had dinner with Shen Yan last night, and also knew that she had hit Lin Yi this morning.
She didn't want to just listen to the assistant's side of the story and wanted to know what really happened.
"Mrs. Song, did you suddenly call me out because there's something at the company that needs my attention? Or is it a personal matter?" she asked after sitting down.
"Aren't we friends? Why don't you have dinner with me?" After hearing Assistant Lin's report, Madam Song had some reservations about her prospective daughter-in-law.
Nan Xia glanced at her, sensing that she had called him out to say something. He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of food, and said...
"If Madam Song has something to say to me, just say it directly. I don't like people beating around the bush."
Mrs. Song glanced at the girl; this temper was just to her liking. "I heard you beat up an assistant at the law firm, and quite badly at that?"
"How did Madam Song find out about this?" she asked with a curious smile.
“A relative’s child works at your law firm. She told me about it, and I saw it was about you. Out of concern, I came to ask you about it.” Mrs. Song had already prepared her excuse.
Nan Xia nodded without suspicion and said to her indifferently,
"I hit Attorney Song's assistant. That woman is a two-faced green tea. She provoked me repeatedly while pretending to be pitiful in front of Song Yanzhi."
Mrs. Song was somewhat surprised. Was that Assistant Lin a green tea bitch?
"How did she provoke you?" she asked again.
Nanxia didn't want to tell others all her private matters, as it would make her vulnerable to threats. Besides, she wasn't very familiar with this Madam Song.
We haven't reached the point of truly opening up to each other yet.
"...This is a private matter between her and me, I'm sorry," she said with a smile.
"I understand."
She was unwilling to elaborate, and Madam Song didn't blame her, after all, they hadn't known each other for long. Suddenly noticing the red mark on her neck, she frowned and asked...
What happened to your neck?
"I was pinched by Song Yanzhi," Nan Xia said indifferently, then took another bite of food.
She was shocked. Was it her own son who pinched her? He liked this girl so much, why would he pinch her?
Why did he pinch you?
"Because I hit his assistant, he must care a lot about his assistant." Nan Xia smiled indifferently.
Mrs. Song was shocked when she heard her words. Did that young man like his assistant or his ex-girlfriend?
How could he lay a hand on the woman he liked over a mere assistant?
Does he still want to reconcile with her?
"Well...maybe he was just angry at the time. He seemed to treat you quite well, so it probably wasn't intentional."
"If he were good to me, he wouldn't have kept going against me, nor would he have cared about other women, and he even hit me for other women. But it doesn't matter anymore, I've completely let go."
"Let him and his assistant go. There are other men in the world." Nan Xia said with a slight smile.
Mrs. Song was afraid that her daughter would doubt her, so she stopped praising her son. However, she was even less likely to agree to the little assistant marrying into the Song family.
She is far inferior to this Nanxia.
My son did so much because of that assistant, and that woman even tattled on him. She might really be a green tea bitch...
We need to have a serious talk with that kid and tell him to stay away from that assistant.
-
Nanxia finished her meal and returned to her front door. Just as she was entering the password, the front door at the end of the corridor opened: "Click—"
Shen Yan, who had been waiting at the door, saw her finally return, opened the door, and walked out with his dog, pretending to bump into her by accident.
"You're back?"
"Okay," she replied, preparing to go inside.
"It's still early, how about we go for a walk together? It's in the community garden," he asked.
Nan Xia paused for a moment, then said, "...Okay." She needed to rebuild her relationship with him as soon as possible and regain his trust.
The two went downstairs together and strolled leisurely while walking their dog. Shen Yan asked her, "What exactly is the relationship between Song Yanzhi and his assistant?"
