Inside the private room in Chapter 19, Song Yinxi flashed a diamond ring, exclaiming, "My husband is Duan Jinchi!"
"Maybe a little. What he cares about isn't how much money I spent, but whether I care about him or not." Song Yinxi smiled faintly. "He's someone who needs attention."
“But I remember you didn’t buy a gift…” Min Xin said hesitantly.
"It's because I didn't buy it that my diamond hair clip—!" Song Yinxi cried out in anguish. "My diamond, my hair clip!"
"You gave it to him?" Min Xin couldn't help but imagine Duan Jinchi with the hair clip in his hair.
The next second, his shirt and trousers seemed to instantly transform into a dress.
(⊙o⊙)…
It's simply unbearable to look at.
"I gave it to him as a tie clip..." Song Yinxi smiled bitterly.
“Oh…oh…oh…” Min Xin nodded in sudden realization, “But I heard that Herun also plans to bid for plot 109 and build a high-end villa area exclusively for the rich.”
The couple are now rivals.
"Never mind him, let's rely on our own abilities!" Song Yinxi's only focus was on defeating Duan Jinchi and obtaining the land.
Duan Jinchi is not her only rival.
Whether they are married or not has nothing to do with each other.
"I found out that the biotech tycoon who returned from abroad is going to Shangxi tonight! Someone's throwing him a welcome-back banquet." Min Xin lowered her voice. "We're going tonight too!"
Jiang Muyun, a Stanford graduate, previously worked at Merck, specializing in cell and gene therapy.
Changqing Group also has a biotechnology company under its umbrella, which is in need of such top talent.
At night, Jingzhou is brightly lit and bustling with traffic.
In the VIP room of Shangxi Club, Song Yinxi, dressed in a red dress, sat side by side with Min Xin.
"President Song, it's been a long time since I've seen you. What have you been busy with lately? Do you have any good money-making projects to share with me?" Qiao Yiyang asked curiously, holding his wine glass.
"I wasn't feeling well a while ago and was hospitalized!" Song Yinxi explained casually.
"Do you know Jiang Muyun? You're coming to his welcome banquet."
Song Yinxi and Min Xin were both brought in by Qiao Yiyang. "I understand, you want him to work at Changqing!!"
Song Yinxi smiled slightly, "Young Master Qiao is truly exceptionally intelligent."
"Don't curse me! My dad's bald now, my hair is my lifeline!" Qiao Yiyang quickly touched his thick head of hair. "God bless me, please let me inherit my mom's beautiful hair..."
"Your hair will definitely be as thick as a forest," Song Yinxi reassured her, then lowered her voice, "That Jiang Muyun, is he easy to handle?"
"We used to be neighbors, and I used to call him brother. But he went abroad when he was eighteen and stayed there for ten years. I really don't know if we're easy to get along with now. But he came back this time because Grandpa Jiang's health is failing. I heard that Grandpa Jiang's last wish was to see him get married!"
"Aren't you single? Perfect! Use this opportunity to get closer to him. I can ask my mom to play matchmaker for you two!"
Song Yinxi calmly picked up her wine glass, the huge diamond ring on her ring finger reflecting a dazzling fire under the light. "No, I'm married."
"You're married!!!"
Qiao Yiyang suddenly stood up.
His voice was so loud that it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"You got married? Who did you marry? I didn't know! Did you have a wedding? Who is he? What makes him so special?! You just married him like that! Didn't you just say you were sick and hospitalized? Was he a fellow patient you met at the hospital? You got married in the hospital?!!"
Qiao Yiyang, like a gossip reporter, bombarded him with a series of questions, determined to get to the bottom of things.
Song Yinxi's gaze softened as she replied softly, "No, my husband is Duan Jinchi~"
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Jiang Muyun and Lin Manni walked in side by side.
I happened to overhear Song Yinxi's words, which were neither too loud nor too soft.
"Duan, Jin, Chi!!!" Qiao Yiyang shouted in shock.
Song Yinxi turned her head slightly, annoyed by his noise, and then got up and walked towards Jiang Muyun.
Lin Manni stared at her, her anger rising: What does this woman mean? Pretending to be Duan Jinchi's wife, and even coming here specifically to provoke her?
“Miss Song, you just said your husband is Duan Jinchi? In broad daylight, are you suffering from ‘love paranoia’?” Lin Manni said coldly. “As far as I know, Duan Jinchi is not married yet.”
"Not married? Impossible, he's clearly my husband." Song Yinxi said firmly, turning her gaze to Jiang Muyun beside her.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and black trousers, exuding a scholarly air—the quintessential image of a top student.
She extended her hand with grace and poise: "But none of that matters. Hello Mr. Jiang, I am Song Yinxi, welcome back to China."
"Hello." He gave me a polite, light handshake.
At this moment, Min Xin also extended her hand: "Hello, I am Min Xin, the general manager of Changqing Group."
Jiang Muyun shook hands with her again.
Min Xin secretly sized him up: So handsome! She never expected that the academic genius who spends all his time in the lab would be so good-looking…
"Mr. Jiang, this is my business card. If it's convenient for you, I hope we can have a chat sometime." Song Yinxi took the business card out of her bag and handed it over.
But Lin Manni snatched it away.
She glanced at the business card and sneered, "Song Yinxi, you better explain yourself first. What do you mean by 'your husband is Duan Jinchi'?"
"Why should I explain to you?" Song Yinxi said unhappily. "The business card isn't for you."
“He’s my cousin, and tonight is the welcome dinner I’m hosting for him. Duan Jinchi is my blind date. You say you’re his wife, then show me the proof!” Lin Manni’s gaze shifted. “Xie Shumo! Come here.”
Song Yinxi then noticed that he was also present.
In fact, as early as when Song Yinxi said, "My husband is Duan Jinchi," Xie Shumo had already secretly sent a message to Duan Jinchi: "Brother! Someone is impersonating your wife!"
Duan Jinchi only replied with two words: "Address".
Xie Shumo immediately sent the location.
"If you were Duan Jinchi's wife, how could his cousin not know?" Lin Manni said sarcastically. "Xie Shumo, is she your sister-in-law?"
Xie Shumo looked embarrassed.
Duan Jinchi only asked for the address; he neither admitted nor denied it!
Considering his cousin's recent unusual behavior, he dared not say anything more.
"I...I don't know! She's not my wife..." Xie Shumo stammered.
Lin Manni gave Xie Shumo a look that said, "What use are you?" and casually tossed Song Yinxi's business card aside. "His family doesn't know. It seems I was right, delusional love syndrome is an illness. Go get it treated!"
"Cousin, ignore her, she's gone mad."
Lin Manni pulled Jiang Muyun inside.
Song Yinxi stared at the business card that had fallen to the ground and been stepped on by Lin Manni, her eyes dark.
Min Xin, standing to the side, was filled with unease. Was it possible that Duan Jinchi was in league with these people to bully Xixi?
She knew Song Yinxi was faking amnesia, but Duan Jinchi didn't!
Take advantage of her illness and bully her severely.
Min Xin nervously grabbed Song Yinxi's arm. "Xixi, maybe... we should go first?"
Song Yinxi smiled faintly, "Why leave? We're already here, admitting defeat isn't my style."
