"What did you say?"
The two were far apart; she was in the living room, and he was in the kitchen. Lu Ziyang couldn't hear what she was saying.
Song Nuan raised her voice and repeated herself.
This time, Lu Ziyang heard it clearly.
"Professor Jiang only asked me to agree to one condition, without telling me what I was supposed to do."
"Is that all?" Song Nuan asked suspiciously.
That's all.
He was calm and confident, not like he was lying. Song Nuan thought about it again and realized that given Jiang Qi's social status, there seemed to be no reason for him to need Lu Ziyang.
Even though he has considerable business acumen... Jiang Qi is a leading medical expert, and their industries are completely unrelated.
Unable to figure it out, Song Nuan gave up trying to think about it.
Turning around, she rested her chin on the back of the sofa and watched the busy figure in the kitchen.
The bib that was originally ordinary suddenly took on a forbidden air when worn by him.
Does Professor Jiang have a granddaughter?
"Hmm?" Lu Ziyang seemed to find the question a bit strange, and glanced back at her. "There should be, why are you asking?"
She smiled slightly and teased, "Does Professor Jiang want you to be his grandson-in-law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang came from the kitchen.
The cleaver stood firmly on the cutting board.
Song Nuan was startled, thinking something had happened to him, and hurriedly ran into the kitchen to check on him. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was not injured.
"My hand slipped, and the knife slipped from my grasp," Lu Ziyang explained expressionlessly.
Song Nuan didn't think much of it, frowned slightly, and followed his words, saying, "Be careful."
"..."
Today, Lu Ziyang cooked a very light meal, which suited Song Nuan's taste perfectly. Since she hadn't eaten much all day, Song Nuan ate twice as much as usual, which was unprecedented for her.
My stomach feels so full after I ate so much.
Lu Ziyang went downstairs to buy digestive tablets, while Song Nuan paced back and forth in the living room, trying to aid digestion.
She casually sent a message to Xu Yiran, asking how the interview went.
Xu Yiran called immediately, and Song Nuan put on her headphones and swiped to answer.
"Nuan Nuan, Xing Ci has given me an offer! I'm starting tomorrow. How's it going on your end?"
"The surgery was fraught with difficulties, but thankfully it was successful."
"That's good." Xu Yiran was worried about bothering her, so she didn't dare to call her. "Are you with Qin Yuchuan? Are you coming back tonight? I was planning to treat you to dinner tonight."
"I've already eaten out, maybe next time."
Xu Yiran gave a regretful "oh".
Then, remembering something, Song Nuan reminded her, "The woman we met on set today was Ouyang Chengyi."
Could the person Song Nuan should specifically remind her of be...?
Xu Yiran was stunned.
He sprang up from the bed with a swift motion.
"The Ouyang family, one of the four great families?"
"Yes, Ouyang Zhoujing is her older brother. I met her at a banquet in Berlin before, and it wasn't a pleasant encounter. Plus what happened today... In short, you should be careful when you run into her at work in the future."
She wasn't sure if Ouyang Chengyi was a petty person.
But based on these two encounters alone, Song Nuan could at least tell that she was not an easy person to talk to.
In the morning, Xu Yiran heard Song Nuan and the crew call her Miss Ouyang. She thought it was her name, but it turned out to be her surname.
Xu Yiran was truly shocked.
"No, I need to go to HR to find out what's going on. I'll hang up now."
As soon as Song Nuan opened her mouth, she hurriedly hung up the phone.
She shook her head helplessly.
Turning around, I found that Lu Ziyang had returned sometime earlier and was pouring hot water and removing the medicine.
She walked over and asked, "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"
"You were too engrossed in the phone call."
Lu Ziyang handed her the medicine. "You ran into Ouyang Chengyi again today? Did she give you any trouble?"
Song Nuan abruptly stopped throwing the medicine into her mouth. She withdrew her hand, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him with a meaningful look.
"again?"
She only met Ouyang Chengyi twice.
The last time was at a banquet in Berlin. Lu Ziyang wasn't there then. How did he know?
"Cough cough—"
Realizing he had let something slip, Lu Ziyang coughed lightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his handsome face, but he quickly covered it up.
He calmly explained, "I heard it from An Sze-tse."
"Why does he tell you everything?"
Song Nuan muttered to herself, feeling that their relationship was a bit too good. The barriers between circles are hard to break down, especially for a top-tier family like An Sze.
The man did not respond to her words, turned around and went into the study. When he came out again, he was carrying an exquisite gift box.
The box is printed with the Berlin Jewelry logo.
"This is?"
"The jewelry set sent from Berlin had your name on it, but I didn't open it."
It's estimated that the sapphire was a gift from An Sze-tse and Ouyang Zhoujing.
Song Nuan felt both helpless and amused. She took the gift box, glanced at the time, and said, "Thanks. I'll treat you to dinner in a couple of days. It's getting late, I have to go back now."
"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" Lu Ziyang said hurriedly.
"No need, I know what it is."
She wasn't really interested; she only accepted the offer because she didn't want to refuse An Sze-tse and Ouyang Zhou-jing's kindness.
Back at the villa, Song Nuan casually tossed her things onto the table.
She has barely rested these past few days.
After washing up, I lay in bed and fell asleep without realizing it.
*
Qin Yuchuan has been frequently visiting the hospital lately, but Qin Guangsheng has not yet woken up.
The hospital explained that individual reactions vary, with some responding faster than others. Although Qin Yuchuan was angry, Qin Guangsheng's indicators were all normal, so he couldn't say anything.
At that moment, he received a call from Song Ningxue.
"Brother Chuan, the equity transfer agreement has been drafted. Are you at the company? I'll come find you there."
"I'm not here."
He glanced at Qin Guangsheng and said calmly, "I'll send you the location, come over."
"Okay," she replied sweetly.
After hanging up the phone, his face returned to its usual cold and gloomy expression.
Zhou Min sat opposite her and said irritably, "What's the use of getting shares? I asked you to fight for shares so that you would be deeply tied to the Qin family. Now you've put the cart before the horse and have nothing to do with the Qin family anymore!"
Song Ningxue bit her lip, feeling unwilling and resentful after being scolded.
Everyone looked down on her.
“How could it be useless?” she retorted angrily. “If I manage the Song family business well, Brother Chuan will naturally come back to my side.”
Zhou Min was so angry she laughed.
"How could I have given birth to such a stupid thing as you!"
She poked Song Ningxue's forehead hard with exasperation, wishing she could poke a hole in it.
"Are you even my biological mother?!"
"If I weren't your own mother, would I be telling you this? The Song family's situation is not optimistic; they're already on their last legs. What use are these shares to you? You'd be smarter; it would be better to exchange them for Qin family shares at half the value."
Song Ningxue wouldn't listen to a word of what she was saying.
She sneered, "If she were truly useless, why would Song Nuan bother to fight for it? She even allowed Lu Ziyang to stir up trouble in the Song family, hoping to create chaos so that Lu Ziyang could take advantage of the situation."
"you!"
Zhou Min almost couldn't catch her breath.
