Song Ningxue clenched her palms tightly, forcing herself to stay calm and telling herself not to act impulsively.
Both the Qin and Song families attach great importance to today's banquet.
Song Zhiren invited many business partners, hoping to advance the new project. Song Nuan wanted the inheritance rights, but Song Zhiren was even more eager to take control of the Song family business.
Song Ningxue knew very well that although Song Zhiren said he would give her the shares, he was actually thinking about how to embezzle them.
She took a deep breath and focused her attention on Qin Yuchuan.
As soon as Song Nuan entered the room, she noticed a resentful gaze following her closely. Within seconds, she locked her gaze on Song Ningxue in the corner.
She seemed oblivious and calmly walked to Qin Yuchuan's side.
Were you all looking for me just now?
Song Nuan smiled slightly at everyone, raised her hand and swept her hair behind her shoulder, revealing her fair swan neck, and a faint floral fragrance wafted from her body.
Everyone was momentarily captivated.
Qin Yuchuan, who was closest to the camera, experienced the greatest visual impact.
Song Nuan's hair brushed against his shoulder, and he glanced to the side, seeing her beautiful and smooth profile.
The youthful excitement rekindled in that instant, and my face flushed slightly.
Qin Yuchuan hurriedly looked away, cursing inwardly, "He doesn't even know when to seduce people!"
"Mrs. Qin is truly a beauty, Mr. Qin, you are so lucky."
"That's right, Madam Qin is a hundred times more beautiful in person than on TV, she could easily be a big star."
Song Nuan smiled politely.
Whether the praise in the Vanity Fair is genuine or not, only the speaker knows.
"Mr. Qin, you really are something else. You have such a beautiful wife, and you patiently coax her when you argue. How could you do something as stupid as holding a press conference to admit to cheating?"
When the topic turned to matters between husband and wife, the CEOs became quite animated and started talking a lot more.
"You two are deeply in love right now, so it's normal to argue. Just talk things out and don't be impulsive and cheat on me. Wildflowers may smell sweet, but they're never as good as home-grown flowers," a boss patted Qin Yuchuan on the shoulder and earnestly advised.
Qin Yuchuan's expression wasn't good, but he still gave them face, saying, "What you seniors say is right."
Song Nuan listened with great interest.
Acting must be convincing.
Song Nuan looked around. "Where are Mom and Ningxue? I can't see them anywhere."
Speak of the devil and he appears.
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Nuan saw Song Ningxue walking towards her.
Song Ningxue, who is usually such a good actress, had a smile on her face, but the jealousy in her eyes was very obvious.
He seems quite angry.
Song Nuan smiled and took Qin Yuchuan's arm. When he saw Song Ningxue, he immediately frowned and tried to break free, but Song Nuan held him down firmly.
"Sister, why are you so late?" Song Ningxue greeted her with a smile. "My brother-in-law and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Song Nuan raised her eyebrows.
So you can't wait to show off to her?
Before she could speak, the tech upstart next to her asked, "Is this Mrs. Qin's sister? The two of them really don't look alike."
The newly rich are young, lack tact, and speak bluntly and recklessly.
He didn't mean anything by it; he was just simply remarking that they didn't look alike.
But when it reached the ears of others present, it took on a different meaning.
Especially Song Ningxue.
Her carefully regulated emotions crumbled instantly upon hearing these words.
A kind-hearted boss spoke up to explain to the new tycoon: "Madam Qin and Miss Song are half-sisters, so it's normal that they don't look alike."
The newly rich realized the situation and hurriedly apologized to Song Ningxue, praising her profusely.
It's just a little stiff.
Song Ningxue forced a smile, "My sister and I really don't look alike. My sister is much prettier than me, which is why my brother-in-law likes her so much."
Qin Yuchuan's expression changed slightly, and he parted his lips as if to explain something, but suddenly realized that this was not the right occasion.
Song Nuan gave a cold snort without any courtesy.
"What do you mean by that, little sister? Yu Chuan doesn't like me because I'm pretty," Song Nuan asked Qin Yu Chuan with a smile. "You're not that shallow, are you, Yu Chuan?"
"Sister, that's not what I meant." Song Ningxue gritted her teeth, looking at Qin Yuchuan, hoping he would say something.
Qin Yuchuan's face was as black as ink.
But Song Nuan wouldn't stop, continuing to fan the flames, "But what my sister said makes sense. If someone as beautiful as me could change Yu Chuan's mind, then wouldn't the mistress be more beautiful than a celestial being?"
She nudged Qin Yuchuan with her elbow and said in a coquettish tone, "Honey, if you ever fall for someone else, please don't choose someone uglier than me."
Song Ningxue bit her lip until it bled.
That bitch Song Nuan is actually implying that she's ugly!
Qin Yuchuan remained silent.
On the contrary, several CEOs who were watching burst out laughing after hearing this.
He kept reassuring Song Nuan, "Don't worry, Madam Qin. Mr. Qin is a smart man. He has such a delicate flower at home, so he definitely wouldn't be interested in those messy things outside."
Song Nuan covered her mouth and chuckled, chatting animatedly with the others.
The conversation gradually shifted from family matters to work.
Before Qin Yuchuan returned, many of Qin's major projects had been handled by Song Nuan, who had become more adept at networking with several seasoned business veterans than Qin Yuchuan.
The brilliance that originally belonged to General Manager Qin gradually faded.
All of it was transferred to Song Nuan.
During a banquet, Song Nuan secured a collaboration between Qin Guangsheng and a tech upstart, and even managed to lower the price by ten percent.
Qin Guangsheng was overjoyed.
The banquet lasted only an hour and a half, with the second half being a family dinner for the Qin and Song families.
After the guests left, Song Nuan also prepared to leave.
"Nuan Nuan, stay and eat with us," Qin Guangsheng called out to her.
Song Nuan looked around and saw that, apart from Qin Guangsheng, no one gave her a friendly look.
She originally didn't want to stay and get tired of them, but now that she saw they all wanted her to leave, Song Nuan suddenly changed her mind.
She was going to stay and annoy them.
“Okay,” Song Nuan replied sweetly.
Zhou Min disagreed, "Father-in-law, there were many people at the banquet just now, and I didn't send her away out of consideration for everyone's feelings. Now it's just the few of us, and I don't want to see her anymore."
Song Zhiren was also quite dissatisfied.
Song Nuan is his daughter, yet she helped the Qin family negotiate projects at the banquet, completely disregarding the fate of the Song family!
Qin Guangsheng was the same; once the project was finalized, he acted like a smug little man, without ever thinking of helping the Song family.
Song Nuan looked at the room full of people with different thoughts and found it amusing.
"Since Aunt Zhou doesn't welcome me, I won't force myself to stay. But I'll have to trouble Yu Chuan to take me home. I drank quite a bit tonight and can't drive."
Song Ningxue immediately flew into a rage, "Sis, there's no one here anymore, why are you still pretending to be so familiar with Brother Chuan!"
Song Nuan gave her a cold glance.
His casual glances were filled with a sense of oppression.
She asked Qin Yuchuan in a calm voice, her earlier clinginess gone, "Are you leaving or not?"
For some reason, seeing her regain her indifference in a second made Qin Yuchuan feel a strange discomfort in his heart.
As if guided by some unseen force, he nodded.
Song Ningxue was furious. "Brother Chuan, you're not allowed to go with her! If you go with her tonight, I'll get an abortion!"
Qin Yuchuan snapped back to reality in an instant.
Before she could speak, Qin Guangsheng's rebuke rang out: "Ningxue, the child is not your toy, you can't just throw her away like that! Besides, Yuchuan and Nuannuan are husband and wife, it's only right that he takes Nuannuan home."
