He sighed. "Make Ruan Mingchen publicly apologize to you and compensate you for your losses. In return, you will drop the lawsuit against him, plus the conditions I just mentioned." He paused. "Ms. Song, I know you have President Fu to back you up, but if we really fight, you may not come out on top."
"At worst, the Ruan family and I will both suffer heavy losses. We don't need Fu Wenzhou to deal with the Ruan family. Of course, you are right about one thing: I have Fu Wenzhou to back me up. But if your Ruan family goes through a major upheaval, we'll know when they'll be able to get back on their feet," Song Qingyou said calmly.
Old Master Ruan's face turned pale with anger: "You...!"
Song Qingyou suddenly smiled, giving the other party a way out, "If you really want to turn a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing, then show your sincerity. Not only me, but also several other friends, I also hope that you can promise to handle it properly. If you agree, I can stop pursuing President Ruan's responsibility."
The other friends she mentioned were naturally the other people who had been harmed by Ruan Mingchen.
It's pitiful that old man Ruan, despite his advanced age, came to negotiate with such shamelessness, only to be forced into this situation by her.
He was so angry when he left that his face turned green.
But at least he agreed to her request.
However, there is one thing: Ruan Mingchen cannot come forward to apologize, because if he admits that he was the one who did those things, then there will be no point in Old Master Ruan protecting him.
Ruan Mingchen must be clean.
Of course, the Ruan family would put forward a scapegoat.
Song Qingyou had no intention of completely breaking ties with the other party. As for who the other party would choose as a scapegoat, she neither cared nor concerned. The Ruan family's fate was intertwined, and someone would always be driven by self-interest to take the blame for Ruan Mingchen.
The Yuan family acted swiftly. That very evening, one of Ruan Mingchen's good-for-nothing cousins was forced to take the blame and apologize, sincerely stating that the so-called evidence used to smear Song Qingyou was all fabricated.
For a time, the Ruan family was deeply embroiled in public opinion.
When Ruan Mingchen initially tried to harm Song Qingyou, the whole scheme backfired and ended up backfiring on the Ruan family themselves.
In the living room, Fu Wenzhou lay on Song Qingyou's lap, playing with her fingers, and asked with a smile, "Are you just going to let him go like that?"
Song Qingyou: "Hmm, I don't want to waste any more time on irrelevant people. Didn't you ask me this morning whether you or work is more important?"
Fu Wenzhou's heart started pounding for no reason, but he showed a nonchalant expression: "Oh, you got the results from the comparison?"
"Yes, so I made peace with Grandpa Ruan. Once I find a suitable person, I'll hand over the company's affairs and become a hands-off manager." Song Qingyou said this in a calm tone, as if it was all just something she wanted to do and did, not something she did specifically for anyone else.
Fu Wenzhou fiddled with her slender fingertips, the corners of his lips involuntarily curving upwards: "So, in that case, I'm still more important."
Song Qingyou beckoned with her fingertips, but he pulled her back into his hand.
She lowered her eyes and looked intently at the man.
He replied with two words: "Of course."
Fu Wenzhou's eyes darkened instantly. He reached out and stroked her face, his throat tightening: "Youyou..."
Song Qingyou's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't dodge.
The atmosphere became subtle; the entire living room was so quiet that you could almost hear each other's heartbeats.
Fu Wenzhou propped himself up, staring intently at those pale lips, and slowly moved closer...
Just then, an excited voice rang out from the doorway!
"My medicine has made new progress!" Yun Nian suddenly rushed in excitedly. Seeing the two of them in this state, he exclaimed, quickly covered his eyes, and turned around swiftly: "Ah! Don't look! Don't look!"
Song Qingyou hurriedly pushed the person away.
Fu Wenzhou was forced to sit up, his gaze falling on Song Qingyou's slender, rosy neck, and he clicked his tongue in regret.
He looked at Yun Nian, and the look in his eyes that seemed to want to kill someone was impossible to hide.
Yun Nian felt a chill run down his spine, but he always liked to go against Fu Wenzhou.
He immediately turned around and said righteously, "I'm not trying to criticize you, but you keep saying you care about Sister Qingyou, yet all you think about are those dirty things. You don't care at all about the progress of Sister Qingyou's medicine!"
Fu Wenzhou was rendered speechless by his preemptive strike. He sneered, and after a few seconds, he sneered again.
Doesn't he care?
He doesn't care that he's searching everywhere for suitable people to test the drug?
He said coldly, "Little bald guy, say what you just said again?"
Yun Nian was stunned for a moment, unable to react to the words "little bald guy" for a long time. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she suddenly became furious.
He said angrily, "Who are you calling 'little bald guy'!"
"Whoever breaks through the defenses is the one who gets the prize."
"..."
Song Qingyou: "..."
She covered her face, her head aching, but then found it funny.
This Fu Wenzhou is so naive.
Seeing that she was covering her face but her lips were turned up, clearly she was secretly laughing, Yun Nian was immediately furious and embarrassed: "Sister Qingyou, you've gone too far! Do you believe I'll quit?"
He turned and walked away, but after walking quite a distance, he noticed that neither of the two people in the living room chased after him.
He was speechless for a moment, then deliberately turned back with a long face, only to find the two people in the living room talking about when he would turn around.
Fu Wenzhou: "I bet he'll be back in less than five minutes."
Song Qingyou smiled and said, "One minute."
As soon as he went in, the two men looked over.
Fu Wenzhou burst into laughter, and even Song Qingyou's eyes crinkled with laughter.
Looking at the two of them, Yun Nian suddenly stopped being angry.
Hmph, the guy surnamed Fu will eventually kneel down and fawn over him.
He cleared his throat and said, "My medicine has been improved, and the side effects have been greatly reduced. So far, we have found five people to volunteer to try the medicine. Their situation is similar to Sister Qingyou's. They have only been taking it for a few days, but they have already seen initial results. The side effects are much less than before. After they finish one course of treatment, we will see how it goes. If there are no problems, Sister Qingyou, you can start taking the medicine."
Despite the playful banter, Fu Wenzhou was still very concerned about Song Qingyou's health.
Hearing Yun Nian say this, he couldn't contain his excitement, "Is it possible to make that medicine without any side effects?"
His previous experience left him with lingering fears. He believed that his Youyou had pulled through, but he didn't want to see her suffer so much.
I can't stand it at all.
“I can’t do it. All medicines have risks, not to mention that Sister Qingyou’s situation is special. If I had enough time, I might be able to achieve a completely side-effect-free result, but her body can’t wait.”
