His voice was still pleasant to hear, but Song Nuan felt a chill run down her spine.
"Lu Ziyang, can you tell me if you've always been this kind of person? Was everything you did in front of me just an act to deceive me?"
Lu Ziyang laughed, "What kind of person?"
Song Nuan didn't know how to answer him for a moment, and only felt disappointed in him.
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow. "Fine, let's end our relationship here. I'll send you some money, and I'll move out of your house as soon as possible."
Lu Ziyang's smile vanished. "Song Nuan, what do you mean? What do you mean 'that's it'? Now you want to distance yourself from me? Too late!"
"Calm down."
"I'm calm, Song Nuan, it's you who's not!" He was furious. "Qin Yuchuan only took a knife for you, and you choose to go back to him? What about all my sacrifices?"
Song Nuan looked at him calmly, "I will give you some money."
Lu Ziyang roared, "I don't need money!"
"I can only give you money, and that's all I can afford," Song Nuan said calmly. "As for the special task force, you can stay if you want, or tell me in advance if you don't, and give me some time to find a replacement legal counsel."
She left without any mercy.
The motion-sensor light at the entrance turned on and off repeatedly.
Lu Ziyang chuckled self-deprecatingly and dialed a number. "Nightfall, I'll give you ten minutes."
Half an hour later, at Night Bar.
Lu Ziyang pushed open the door and came in with a cold expression.
There weren't many people in the private room, only seven or eight, all of whom were familiar faces—young masters and princes from Liangcheng's upper class.
"No way, Young Master Li really came?"
The speaker was Zhong Langqing, the youngest son of a real estate tycoon in Liangcheng.
"Young Master Li hasn't been to Nightfall in a long time. If I didn't know you weren't dating, I would almost suspect that you secretly got married and are being kept at home by your wife."
An Sze smiled knowingly, "It doesn't matter."
Zhong Langqing sensed a hint of gossip. "Young Master An, what's going on? Is he really secretly married?"
"It's not a secret marriage, but it's even better than a secret marriage."
Zhong Langqing scratched his head, extremely anxious, "What do you mean? I don't understand. Don't be so mysterious. Just tell me whether you're married or not, Young Master An."
An Sze smiled but remained silent, glancing at Lu Ziyang.
Of the heirs of the four major families, he was the most low-key and hated it when others talked about him.
The silence today suggests tacit approval.
An Sze-tse, being the owner of an entertainment company, immediately saw that he wanted to use his influence to spread the word within the industry. As for his motives…
It's not hard to guess.
He looked so bitter and resentful; he probably got humiliated by Song Nuan again.
An Szeze offered him a cigarette, "Nuannuan's not here, want one?"
He reached out and took it.
Someone offered to light his cigarette, but he moved the cigarette away and said calmly, "No need."
"Wow, Young Master Li even quit smoking for a woman? What kind of woman is so amazing that Young Master Li doesn't even smoke, just indulging in a little bit of oral sex?"
"Didn't you hear what Young Master An said? Your sister-in-law's name is Nuannuan."
“Warmth…” Zhong Langqing repeated, searching his mind.
He was a social butterfly just like An Sze, except that An Sze was doing it for work, while Zhong Langqing was just indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun.
Zhong Langqing was puzzled, "I've never heard of any young lady in Liangcheng whose name includes 'warmth.' Could she be from out of town?"
In the corner, Ouyang Zhoujing slowly took a sip of wine.
"Of course there is! Isn't the eldest daughter of the Song family named Song Nuan?"
Lu Ziyang, who hadn't reacted, raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently, but quickly looked away.
Zhong Langqing clicked his tongue and retorted to Ouyang Zhoujing, "I know her, she's very beautiful, but she's been married for a long time and they were even going through a divorce recently."
An Sze smiled broadly, "What, can't you get a divorce if you're married?"
"No, it's just that Brother Chen can have any woman he wants, so why would he be interested in a woman who's been married before?"
After he finished speaking, the private room fell into an eerie silence.
The silence lasted for about ten seconds.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhong Langqing seemed to realize something and asked cautiously, "No... Brother Chen, do you really like Song Nuan?"
Ouyang Zhoujing laughed out loud, "I just said it offhand, and you actually believed it?"
Although he was curious about who the woman was, he didn't believe it could be Song Nuan, who was already married.
Lu Ziyang didn't say a word, leaving them to guess.
But after tonight, the news spread like wildfire throughout the upper echelons of Liangcheng.
Even Song Nuan had heard about it.
Li Jingchen, the head of the Li Group, the leading family among the four major families in Liangcheng, has a woman he likes, but it seems that his love has been rejected, and he drinks himself into a stupor all night.
A villa in Liangcheng city, housed in a greenhouse covering hundreds of acres.
A woman dressed in elegant and noble attire lifted a curtain made of flowers and leaves and approached a man who was tending to the flowers and plants.
"Guanyu, do you know about Xiaochen's situation?"
The man looked to be in his fifties or sixties, thin, with mixed black and white hair, and wore rimless glasses, giving him a very refined and scholarly appearance.
Li Guanyu, Li Jingchen's biological father.
He slowly put down the pruning shears, turned to look at her, and asked gently, "Is he sick?"
Li Guanyu was obsessed with growing flowers and plants to the point of madness, and never cared about family or company affairs.
As a result, after Old Master Li passed away, the Li Group was coveted by many and turbulent for many years until Li Jingchen took over and things finally stabilized.
Jiang Jieting smiled faintly, "No, but it's still a big deal. I heard he has a woman he likes."
"Yeah?"
Li Guanyu picked up the flower shears again.
This action indicates that he is not interested in what Jiang Jieting said.
Jiang Jieting continued, "Although Xiao Chen is not young anymore, he still has a certain status and position. He is very smart, but it is hard to guarantee that he will not be deceived by women."
Li Guanyu remained silent.
"He used to be so busy with work that he had little contact with women. He didn't realize that women these days are not so cunning or scheming. As parents, we should at least keep an eye on things for Xiaochen to prevent women with ulterior motives from getting close to him and hurting his feelings. What do you think?"
Li Guanyu nodded, "I won't go. You can handle his affairs."
Jiang Jieting's smile deepened.

Song Nuan asked Fang Yu to go to the flower garden to help her pack her things.
The items were not returned to the Qin family, but instead delivered to a villa registered under Song Nuan's name.
Fang Yu's injuries have healed.
"Sister Song, there's something I've been meaning to tell you."
Song Nuan: "What is it?"
Fang Yu said, "Once, when I went on a business trip with Xie Lingyu to meet a client, she also got pampered by the client and forced to drink. Later, President Song came to pick her up. We were supposed to stay in the same room, but she didn't come back that night."
After a few seconds of silence, Song Nuan asked, "Are you sure?"
Fang Yu nodded emphatically.
"But I have no evidence. I've been wanting to tell you this for a while, but I don't know how to bring it up. After all, your relationship with President Song... I'm afraid it will hurt you."
