Moreover, her insistence on demanding the truth goes beyond simply targeting Zhou Min.
She wanted to use this opportunity to gain leverage over Zhou Min and Song Ningxue.
Even though Zhou Min never admitted it, Song Nuan always suspected that Zhou Min was not completely unaware of her mother's disappearance back then.
The project is very important.
No matter how important someone is, nothing is more important than a mother.
“I will not let this affect the cooperation between the Qin family and Berlin, but I will continue to investigate, and you can’t stop me.”
After saying this coldly, she pushed Qin Yuchuan aside and went inside.
Qin Yuchuan blocked the door from closing it, saying, "Fine, I'll let you investigate! But there's one thing you have to promise me."
Song Nuan looked at him, "What is it?"
Qin Yuchuan said, "The International Jewelry Banquet is about to begin this year. Berlin is the organizer and has sent us an invitation. You'll come with me."
Finally, seemingly afraid that Song Nuan hadn't understood clearly, he added, "In the name of husband and wife."
Song Nuan rolled her eyes. "I'm busy."
Shouldn't Song Ningxue accompany him on this kind of trip?
In any case, although these banquets have an international prefix, they are all private in nature.
Qin Yuchuan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as he roughly discerned her thoughts.
He tried to save face, saying, "Don't think I wanted you to go!"
"Isn't that right?" Song Nuan asked with amusement, raising her hand and waving it in front of him, then pointing to her injured face. "You see, how could I possibly attend a banquet looking like this?"
“You’re part of the special task force, but Ningxue isn’t. What’s the point of sending her? Do you want an outsider like her to introduce the craftsmanship of the new product to the wealthy women?”
He was expressionless, as if he were truly acting out of self-interest and without any ulterior motives.
"You still have half a month, enough time for you to recover."
Berlin is a subsidiary of the Li family.
I've heard that Berlin would reserve new products for wealthy ladies and socialites in Liangcheng in advance, and it seems that it's true.
Song Nuan just didn't expect it to be in the form of a banquet.
It seems that Lin Jingwen explained all the ins and outs to Qin Yuchuan when she sent him the invitation.
Since it's a circle of wealthy women...
Maybe I'll run into someone who knew my mother back then, and perhaps I'll have a chance to get some information.
Thinking of this, Song Nuan agreed: "Okay."
The banquet will last a long time.
Song Nuan has been resting at home for the past few days and hasn't gone to the company. Qin Yuchuan sent Zheng Siyuan to deliver the banquet book to Song Nuan.
That was given to me by Lin Jingwen; it contained information about the banquet and introductions to some new seasonal products.
On the third day, Song Nuan had almost recovered and was preparing to go to the police station.
I received a call from An Sze-tse as soon as I stepped out the door.
"Has Xie Lingyu been caught?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then Lu Ziyang's voice rang out, "She's dead."
Song Nuan was stunned, and it took her a long time to come to her senses. "What did you say?"
Half an hour later, by the river.
From a distance, we could see police cars parked by the river and a large crowd gathered around them. The driver, upon hearing that there had been a murder, was too frightened to drive any further.
Song Nuan had no choice but to get out of the car and run over.
Lu Ziyang and An Sze were both there.
"What happened?" Song Nuan grabbed Lu Ziyang's sleeve and asked with red eyes.
Lu Ziyang pursed his lips. "Someone reported that Xie Lingyu threatened to kill her with a knife. The police had no choice but to go out to rescue her. Unexpectedly, when pushed to the limit, Xie Lingyu jumped into the river."
Song Nuan swayed slightly.
Lu Ziyang quickly helped her up and pulled her into his arms.
"Nuan Nuan, she bullied you like this, why are you still sad for her? She deserved to die," An Sze said angrily.
Song Nuan stared blankly at the calm river surface.
It's all gone.
With Xie Lingyu dead, she no longer had any leverage to threaten Xie Dazhuang into identifying Zhou Min and Song Ningxue.
This time, they won again.
Song Nuan closed her eyes and suddenly felt a little tired.
She was too lazy to move and said in a low voice, "Lu Ziyang, carry me back."
Ansze immediately looked at the two of them.
When did they make up?
How could he not know?
Lu Ziyang twitched the corner of his lips, did as he was told, picked the person up horizontally, and put him in his Lamborghini.
"You should rest first. I'll have An Sze take you home later."
Song Nuan looked calmly ahead, "An Sze didn't say it, but I know you saved me that night."
Lu Ziyang paused in his action of closing the door.
Song Nuan continued, "That night I ran away on my own and took it upon myself to follow Xie Lingyu into the private room. I was too anxious and wanted to catch Song Zhiren cheating on her. I was stupid. I don't blame An Sze, and you shouldn't blame him either."
She had just seen the injury on An Sze's face.
Although it was faint, it didn't escape her eyes.
Lu Ziyang pursed his lips into a straight line, wanting to say a lot but not knowing where to begin.
After a long silence, he chose a question that wouldn't go wrong and asked her: "Did Song Zhiren have an affair with Xie Lingyu?"
Song Nuan nodded.
Tell him about Fang Yu's discovery and Zhou Min's admission.
Actually, she didn't want to tell him these trivial things, but she was feeling really anxious with something stuck in her heart and had no one to confide in, so she blurted it out without realizing it.
Lu Ziyang, however, had an idea.
He bent down and sat in the back seat, closing the door. "If we can confirm that Song Zhiren cheated on you, it will be much easier for you to take over the Song family business."
"It's a pity Xie Lingyu is dead." Song Nuan's words revealed the last remaining hope.
Lu Ziyang said, "Since Zhou Min knows he's cheating, she must have evidence in her possession, which she'll use to help Song Ningxue lose shares. We can start by getting to Zhou Min."
After he said that, Song Nuan realized it wasn't a bad idea.
But I've been too busy lately.
She thought about it and decided against it.
"Let's wait until these two months are over. If Song Zhiren tries to embezzle my shares again, it won't be too late to take the evidence from Zhou Min."
From a lawyer's perspective, this would be much riskier.
However, there are solutions.
Since Song Nuan said so, Lu Ziyang naturally supported her.
He nodded, then cautiously added, "Nuan Nuan, Ning Jiao Jiao has already returned to Kyoto, could we...?"
Song Nuan smiled and interrupted him: "Do you think I'm distancing myself from you because of Ning Jiaojiao?"
"Isn't that right?"
“Not entirely.” Song Nuanxin calmly told him the truth. “Lu Ziyang, you still don’t understand what I care about. Compared to Ning Jiaojiao, I care more about whether you have been lying to me all along.”
After Qin Yuchuan, Song Nuan would subconsciously remind herself not to trust men anymore.
True feelings can change in an instant.
But this is what Lu Ziyang cares about.
His expression turned slightly cold. "So even if Ning Jiaojiao and I have something going on, you don't care, is that right?"
Song Nuan: "Are you sure you want to discuss this with me?"
Lu Ziyang chuckled self-deprecatingly.
She's a woman with a heart harder than stone.
He wisely stopped talking, his tone remaining cold, but in an instant he seemed like a completely different person, exuding an irresistible aura of dominance.
"Song Nuan, what I've done for you wasn't for nothing. You think you can just wash your hands of this? It's not that easy. And don't talk to me about money. How much money do you think can buy back An Szeze's favor?"
It finally came.
What did she say? True feelings can change in an instant.
