The thought of it made Song Nuan feel both ironic and ridiculous.
He solemnly and earnestly explained to her that he had not lied to her, and even encouraged An Sze to make up several lies to deceive her.
Li Jingchen's Adam's apple bobbed. Listening to her hoarse voice, he felt that An Szeze was right, but he still couldn't bear to say these things before her body had recovered.
"Drink the water first."
"I'm not thirsty."
She was sulking, and Li Jingchen knew she was sulking. He was silent for a few seconds, put down his water glass, and then turned and left.
When the door closed, Song Nuan could hardly believe it.
He actually left?
Just like that... he left?
Song Nuan was so angry she almost turned her back. She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, her heart pounding, and she felt incredibly dizzy for a moment.
She quickly lay down.
After calming down, Song Nuan called Fang Yu directly, "Fang Yu, buy me a new plane ticket right away. It's for tomorrow, to country A. I need the earliest flight."
"Do you want to buy Mr. Lu's?" Fang Yu asked.
When he was mentioned, Song Nuan's voice turned slightly cold. "No need. Just buy one for me. His ticket doesn't need to be refunded."
He'll definitely be able to guess what's going on once he backs down.
Fang Yu agreed, and within ten minutes, Song Nuan received text messages from the airline and the hotel.
Since Sister Chen wasn't home, she had to boil some water for herself.
The ward door was not a fully enclosed design; the upper part had a small section of glass. When Song Nuan went to boil water, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing past outside the glass.
Her heart sank. Could it be that Li Jingchen hadn't left?
What she just said to Fang Yu...
For some reason, Song Nuan felt a moment of helplessness and guilt, and even felt a little sorry for him. But then she thought that he had been deceiving her for so long without feeling guilty, so why should she feel guilty about it?
So, after pouring the water into the kettle, Song Nuan slowly walked towards the door.
Just as my hand gripped the doorknob, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Song Nuan hurriedly retreated and hid behind the door.
He then looked up and saw that the person standing outside the door was Ouyang Zhoujing. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his expression remained calm. "Mr. Ouyang, what brings you here?"
She addressed Ouyang Zhoujing in a distant manner.
Ouyang Zhoujing didn't want to get any closer to her, so he smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd drop by to see you."
He held flowers in his left hand and a fruit basket in his right.
Noticing Song Nuan's scrutinizing gaze, Ouyang Zhoujing explained, "I didn't know what kind of flowers you liked, so I bought white roses. I feel they match your temperament well. I don't know if you like them."
Song Nuan had become accustomed to his unreasonable and domineering behavior.
"If you say you don't like it, can you just throw it away?"
Ouyang Zhoujing was slightly taken aback, a hint of an unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes, his expression a half-smile, "Of course."
After saying that, he actually took half a step back and casually tossed the flowers at the door.
Song Nuan watched this scene coldly, her feelings indescribably complicated, but she showed nothing. She turned her body to the side—which meant she agreed to let Ouyang Zhoujing in.
He thoughtfully closed the door and locked it from the inside.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Song Nuan got straight to the point: "Since Mr. Ouyang is here, let's talk about compensation so you don't have to make another trip later."
"good."
"I want the Ouyang Group to sign a five-year contract with the Song family, under which all raw materials will be provided by the Song family within five years."
Ouyang Zhoujing smiled so hard his eyes crinkled.
This woman really does surprise him every second.
He thought she would ask for money, a car, a house, or even more outrageous ways to retaliate against Ouyang Chengyi and vent her anger. After all, she had Li Jingchen backing her up, so she was fully confident in making excessive demands.
I never expected it would be a collaboration.
Song Nuan asked calmly, "Mr. Ouyang, are you laughing because you think I'm daydreaming?"
"I guess so."
When it comes to work, Ouyang Zhoujing's arrogance, typical of top elites, gradually becomes apparent.
His voice was clear and crisp, but his tone carried a hint of amusement. "Although Cheng Yi did something to wrong you, the affairs of the group are not something I can decide alone. You want to cooperate with me..."
He smiled silently, trying not to say anything too harsh, "The group has requirements for its partners."
This answer was exactly what Song Nuan had expected.
She calmly countered, "Then what kind of compensation do you think would be enough to make up for the harm Ouyang Chengyi has done to me?"
“Fifty million,” he said.
Song Nuan smiled and said, "You have a good relationship with Young Master An. I thought you at least knew that I have 80 million shares in his company."
Ouyang Zhoujing raised an eyebrow.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised.
Both the Song and Qin families are only considered middle class. He was aware of the situation; Song Nuan was not favored in the Song family and had also had a significant conflict with the Qin family. Recently, the Qin family's stock market had lost several hundred million yuan.
If it weren't for the cooperation between the Qin family and Berlin, the Qin family would probably have already declared bankruptcy.
As for why Berlin suddenly cooperated with the Qin family, and who was the mastermind behind it, it's obvious who it was.
“To be honest, if you want to bribe me into shutting up, this is the minimum you’d need.” She held up one finger.
Slender and long.
For some reason, Ouyang Zhoujing suddenly thought of the scene where she was lying almost naked in the cold water.
It's blurry, but it inexplicably sparks the imagination.
He coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment and cleared the image from his mind. "One hundred million?"
It's a bit much, but not unacceptable.
Song Nuan smiled, curled her lips, and gently corrected him, "Ten billion."
Ouyang Zhoujing frowned again.
You should know that he was only willing to give 100 million because of Song Nuan's relationship with Li Jingchen, but 1 billion?
"Has Ah Jing made your appetite so big?" He didn't answer directly, but teased with a half-smile, his words full of malice.
"Do you think I'm asking for too much?"
"Miss Song, not everyone has the ability to produce a billion yuan in cash flow in the blink of an eye."
Song Nuan smiled faintly, "Others may not have this ability, but you are one of the four major families, so it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Only now did Ouyang Zhoujing truly realize how difficult this woman was to deal with.
He's not a simple character at all.
He underestimated her.
“Of course I can offer it.” Ouyang Zhoujing’s smile faded, his tone turning slightly cold. “But I still maintain that the compensation value must correspond to the degree of harm. If we can’t reach an agreement in private, and you go to court, you might not even get 50,000.”
The warning in his words was easy to understand.
This is to tell her to stop while she's ahead and not to push her luck.
But on what basis?
She endured nearly an hour of cold water in the dead of winter and was verbally humiliated by Ouyang Chengyi. Why shouldn't she take advantage of the situation?
"Then let's go through legal proceedings," Song Nuan said calmly.
Ouyang Zhoujing hadn't expected her to be so calm; filing a lawsuit would bring her absolutely no benefit.
Why did she do that?
