Song Ze was naturally angry.

But as a businessman, he knew very well that being angry in this situation was meaningless. He had already lost the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. William, so he had to make the money back from other places.

He didn't think he would make such a stupid mistake. In order to meet Mr. William, he wore new clothes from head to toe.

Then there is only one possibility, that it was a deliberate frame-up.

There are only a few suspects, and Song Ze naturally knows that his own children would not do such a thing, so it can only be the three people who live in his house.

The Jiang family, the Wei Chi family, and the Xia family.

It doesn't matter who they are, what matters is that their families are able to pay the compensation.

Thinking back to the enthusiasm those three people showed him tonight, it was obvious that they were all suspicious.

At this moment, the assistant pushed the door open and walked in, looking embarrassed and asked: "Mr. Song, what should we do now?"

Song Ze looked calm: "Go home."

And Song Ze did find something unusual. The soles of every pair of leather shoes in the shoe cabinet were stained with the same stuff, and it was obvious that someone had done it deliberately.

Very good, Song Ze’s mood actually improved.

The surveillance at home is almost perfect. If anyone touches his shoe cabinet, he will make them pay the price.

Song Ze was already prepared to bring the surveillance equipment and the shoes to the person's home to demand accountability once he found out who had altered all his leather shoes.

However, after checking today's surveillance with the assistant, no one was found approaching the shoe cabinet. It was not until the surveillance went back to yesterday that the maintained leather shoes were put back into the shoe cabinet by the maid, but it was also visible that the soles of the shoes were obviously still clean.

Song Ze held the pen more and more tightly.

The assistant also pushed up his glasses, and said in shock: "Boss Song, this... this is not scientific!"

Because Song Yinyin's mother Jiang Han caught her husband's mistress in his company, her husband gave her a free credit card to buy whatever she wanted in order to make up for it.

Jiang Han immediately found a few of her good sisters and went out traveling for a week just to show off in front of others.

When Jiang Han came back, she was naturally wearing brand new jewelry and had successfully bought the limited edition handbag she had set her eyes on last month. The servant following her was also carrying a full shopping bag.

As soon as Jiang Han stepped into the house, she saw her husband walking out with his assistant with grim looks on their faces.

"Husband~"

Jiang Han called out tenderly and wanted to reach out and hold Song Ze's arm.

However, Song Ze just shook off her hand as if he didn't see her at all, and walked out at a quicker pace.

It was Song Ze's assistant who stopped and quickly gave Jiang Han a smile and said, "Mr. Song is not in a good mood today, please forgive me."

After saying that, he immediately rushed up.

After finally buying something, she was so happy that she decided to "forgive" her husband, but she didn't expect to be rejected in return.

Jiang Han was furious, but he only dared to vent his anger after Song Ze's car left. He angrily said: "What does he mean? Why does he treat me like this? When I followed him without any status..."

At this moment, the housekeeper came in and said, "Madam, we have guests at home. Please be careful with your words and actions."

Jiang Han was slightly stunned and asked, "Guest? What guest?"

The butler whispered.

Jiang Han's face became even uglier: "You mean, the heirs of those families are here? And they want to stay in our house for a while?"

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded and continued, "So the master also specifically instructed that if you feel that it is not appropriate to have outsiders at home, you can use the card to travel to any country you want. As long as it does not conflict with them, you are free to do so."

"Why?" Jiang Han sneered, "This is my daughter and I's home. If anyone wants to leave, that bastard should leave first."

After saying that, Jiang Han immediately put on the airs of a host and looked at the housekeeper and said, "Call them all down. Since they are guests, I, as the host, will naturally entertain them well."

Jiang Han suddenly thought of something.

Coincidentally, most of the children of these wealthy families in the imperial capital in this generation are the same age as Song Zhili, which means they are a few years younger than their daughters.

As for those who are older, they are basically already married, and some have even started families, so there are simply no suitable candidates.

It doesn’t matter, being a few years younger is fine too. A girl who is three years older than her husband is as rich as a brick.

Thinking that her daughter's marriage has not been settled yet, the few guests at home can be considered to be of equal status to them, so it will be a good home for her daughter to marry into.

The moment they were called down, everyone was confused.

When Xia Wan saw Jiang Han, she didn't even react. She asked, "Who is this?"

Jiang Yushi explained to her in a low voice: "Song Zhili's stepmother."

Several people were sitting on the sofa, and Song Zhili was deliberately seated in the middle.

Jiang Han had a kind smile on her face. She looked at Song Zhili and said, "Why didn't you tell Auntie in advance about such an important event as having guests? Auntie could stay at home and cook for you personally."

Song Zhili lowered his eyes and replied, "I was inconsiderate, but my father doesn't want you to be tired."

"What is the child saying? I'm so happy to be able to do something for you." Jiang Han said, his eyes constantly falling on Xia Wan and Jiang Yushi's faces.

She remembered that the one from Wei Chi's family was already engaged, so it wasn't a good idea.

Then you can only choose from these two.

Xia Wan and Jiang Yushi were both terrified by her stare. They unconsciously moved closer to each other, gave each other fake smiles, and tried hard to communicate with their eyes: What does this person want to do?

Fortunately, Song Yinyin came back at this moment and asked in surprise: "Mom, why did you come home so early?"

Jiang Han smiled at his daughter and said, "Yinyin, come and sit down."

Song Yinyin was very uncomfortable with her mother's overly normal appearance. She looked directly at Song Zhili and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Song Zhili shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know.

The smile on Jiang Han's face froze for a moment, and he said, "I've spoiled this child. He speaks without restraint all day long. Please don't be offended."

Song Yinyin had never seen her mother speak in such a gentle tone in front of anyone other than her father. Especially when Song Zhili was still here, it was even more impossible.

Her face showed "I have something to say" and she sat down impatiently.

Jiang Han has already made a choice between Xia Wan and Jiang Yushi.

She smiled and said, "Yinyin, I think you and Xiaomu look a bit alike."

Xia Wan: "?"

Is this Xiao Mu calling her? So affectionately?

Song Yinyin raised her eyelids, her face full of speechlessness: "Because we all have two eyes and one mouth? If you have anything to say, just say it quickly and don't waste my time."

Jiang Han looked at Song Yinyin with an expression of disappointment and said, "Mom just thinks you are too busy with work and don't have much time to make friends. Now Xiaoli's friends are here, you can get to know each other. You are about the same age, so you should have common topics to talk about."

Everyone: "......?"

Wei Chiyan also approached Song Zhili and asked in a low voice: "Is she serious?"

They are all on Song Zhili's side. Their purpose of coming to the Song family this time is to support Song Zhili. How could they make friends with his stepsister?

Perhaps it was because Wei Chiyan's eyes were too straightforward, even a little sarcastic, which made Song Yinyin's self-esteem a little overwhelmed.

She sneered at her mother, crossed her arms over her chest, and asked, "What do you mean I don't have time to make friends? Who of the daughters of a noble family would be willing to be friends with an illegitimate daughter? Shouldn't you know this too? Who of the wealthy ladies of your level would look up to you? The combined assets of those good sisters who are willing to follow you are not even a fraction of what our family has? They are just dogs that curry favor with the powerful."

Song Yinyin became more and more impatient after she finished speaking. She looked directly at Xia Wan and said, "To put it simply, my mother likes you. Oh no, she likes you for me. She is trying to bring us together, but don't pay attention to her. Don't worry, I'm not interested in an underdeveloped little boy like you."

After Song Yinyin finished speaking, she wanted to go upstairs.

But after taking a few steps, I felt depressed again, so I turned around and left the house.

And at this moment.

Jiang Han was already crying. She chased after him and scolded him, "You unfilial daughter! Mom worked so hard for you. How can you say that to her?"

Inside the house, there was total silence.

It was the first time Xia Wan watched this kind of live ethical drama and was so shocked that she couldn't close her jaw.

The others seemed to have seen this kind of scene before and seemed relatively calm.

Enthusiastic citizen Xiao Jiang reached out to help Xia Wan put her chin back in place, explaining: "You'll get used to it. The situation in Ali's family is indeed very complicated."

Wei Chiyan also said seriously: "This is a real wealthy family!"

Xia Wan nodded in agreement instinctively.

Indeed, there is no wealth without melodrama.

Song Zhili asked again: "Speaking of which, what did you do tonight? My father came back with a gloomy face and left with a gloomy face again."

Mention this.

The three of them laughed at the same time, more brilliantly than the sunshine sunflowers in Plants vs. Zombies.

After the three of them recounted what happened tonight, Song Zhili immediately stood up and said, "Monitor..."

"Sit down, sit down." Xia Wan reached out and held his arm, saying, "Don't worry, it has already been dealt with."

Song Zhili looked relieved.

He looked helpless and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if he found out?"

Wei Chiyan smiled and said, "Let my grandfather go and apologize to him. He can't really care about a child's prank."

At most you'll get beaten, but that's not a big deal.

Xia Wan said, "Don't worry, don't fight a battle without preparation. I dare to do it and I bet he won't find out."

After all, solving a case requires evidence.

And here she is the power of metaphysics (?).

Jiang Yushi looked at Song Zhili in surprise and asked, "But your father is quite patient. He didn't even come back to question us about such a big thing?"

Song Zhili said directly: "He can't afford to offend the families behind you. Without solid evidence, he can only swallow his anger."

"I understand." Jiang Yushi nodded.

Wei Chiyan was puzzled: "What do you understand?"

Xia Wan blinked her eyes: "As long as there is no evidence, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, she reached out and high-fived Jiang Yushi.

Naturally, this game of playing a prank on Song Ze is still going on, because Song Yinyin and Jiang Han had a quarrel and neither of them went home for a few days, which gave them more freedom to act.

Although Song Ze did not show any anger on his face, a few days later he "escaped" from his home, citing too much work at the company as an excuse, and said he would not be back for the time being.

Wei Chiyan's face was full of disappointment: "Why did your father leave again? It's just now, I haven't had time to use my ultimate move yet."

"Yes." Jiang Yushi yawned, took a sip of the milk, and said, "But your father has lost a lot of weight in the past few days. When he left just now, the dark circles under his eyes were almost bigger than his eyes."

Song Zhili couldn't figure out the problem: "He hasn't been in a good state recently. Maybe something happened in the company."

Xia Wan lowered her head to eat and did not participate in their discussion this time.

And the real reason is only known by Xia Wan.

Because she reached a consensus with her own system.

As long as she successfully conquers one person, the system can help her achieve something that does not affect the development of the plot.

Although the plot has collapsed to the point where no one knows what is going on, the system still has its principles.

The first thing Xia Wan asked the system to do was to delete the surveillance video.

The second one is——

Whenever Song Ze stayed overnight at home or beat Song Zhili, a red plum blossom would appear at his bedside the next morning.

Because Song Zhili once said that Hongmei was his mother's favorite flower.

When he found Hongmei on the first day, as an adult man, Song Ze was so scared that he ran out of the room with a pale face.

Even from the high-definition surveillance video, it can be seen that the pants behind him were... wet.

After watching the surveillance video, Xia Wan was more certain of her guess.

After all, a normal person would not be so scared when faced with the appearance of an item that symbolizes his deceased wife, even if he thought it was someone else's prank.

There may be a hidden story behind Song's mother's death, but the system refuses to tell her and says that Song Zhili knows much more than him.

The system said [Host, everyone has their own destiny, don't interfere too much, you have to believe that they can live their own lives well]

[Host, you have only successfully conquered two people, so I can only help you twice at most. You have already used up all your chances.]

Xia Wan also took a sip of the juice at hand and answered in her heart: "I know."

This branch of red plum is enough to make this scum dare not hit his own son easily, and from then on he cannot return home, nor dare to return.

It's Monday again.

Today is a very important day for the entire Sakura Festival, and it is also the day when the results of this year's F4 selection will be announced.

Xia Wan saw that her number of votes had actually surpassed Wei Chiyan by a small margin. Although it was not a huge gap, it was obvious that Wei Chiyan could not catch up.

Wei Chiyan stretched out a hand to hold his chin and stared at the screen, seemingly unable to understand the result.

After all, he had already won two F1 titles, but he never expected that he would have to give it up when he was a senior in high school.

Wei Chiyan's face was full of distress. He turned around and grabbed Xia Wan's face, forcing her to face him.

Xia Wan looked at him as if he was crazy and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Wei Chiyan answered seriously: "I'm looking at your face, and I don't think it's as handsome as mine."

Xia Wan: "..."

I tried hard to resist the urge to punch Wei Chiyan in the face.

Forget it, she didn't want to say anything.

Once the vote manipulation is checked and the abnormal votes are cleared before the voting closes, she will fall out of the top four.

Jiang Yushi reached out and grabbed Wei Chiyan by the collar and pulled him back, saying, "There's nothing we can do. Who made Xia Muyue do so well in the exam? It would be strange if her popularity didn't soar."

Wei Chiyan also knew this was the truth, but suddenly thought of another thing.

He said: "If Xia Mu is number one and I am number two, then between you and Song Zhili, one of you has to go, right?"

"Yeah, Song Zhili got more votes, so one of us, Xie Penis, should be eliminated." Although Jiang Yushi said this, he didn't seem to care at all. He even used his mobile phone to vote for Xie Penis.

The two candidates received almost the same number of votes, and their rankings changed every few minutes.

At twelve o'clock, the voting channel was closed.

As usual, the system will screen for abnormal votes in the next hour, calculate the votes that the system has not yet displayed, and then announce the final results at one o'clock.

At noon, posts on the forum were all about betting on the final F4 ranking.

Because at the last moment, Captain Chi Yan apparently surpassed Xia Wan, so most people still ranked Captain Chi Yan, Xia Wan (Xia Mu), and Song Zhili as the top three.

The only question is whether the last spot will go to Jiang Yushi or Xie Tan.

One o'clock.

Throughout the entire Sakura, countless students are refreshing the forum.

The results are out——

At the same time, the classroom door was pushed open.

The boy had obviously just rushed back from abroad and had not had time to change into his school uniform. He was wearing a black coat and had a slender figure. He exhaled and casually pulled out an empty chair next to him.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Wei Chiyan said: "Thank you? Why are you back now?"

In the front row, some students also turned around quietly and looked at Xie with disgust.

Song Zhili put down the exercises in his hand, walked over, looked down at Xie Yan, and said: "I asked you to come back last week."

Xie lolled back in his chair, untied his scarf with one hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Sorry, I forgot the time."

Everyone knew it was a lie, but they couldn't expose it in front of so many people.

Compared to Song Zhili blaming Xie Yan for coming back late, Wei Chiyan simply didn't understand why he came back and asked: "I thought you would just not come this semester."

Xie Yan asked back: "Isn't there a promotional video shoot for F4 next week?"

As soon as Xie Hate said this, Jiang Yushi’s phone screen refreshed with the result.

There was a burst of exclamations in the classroom, and it was obvious that everyone had seen the result.

Xia Wan curled the corners of her lips slightly, preparing to hide her achievements and fame, and then pretended that she didn't understand why anyone would vote for her.

Jiang Yushi lowered his eyes, glanced at the screen, and then looked at Xie Yan: "Then you can go."

Xie Ni was slightly startled, then he stood up, walked to Jiang Yushi, and took the phone.

Then the young man's narrow eyes showed a deeper smile. He put down his phone, bent down and looked at Xia Wan, saying: "Congratulations."

Xia Wan: "......?"

ah?

What does "Xie Niu" mean? Could it be what she thinks?

Being stared at by Xia Wan with a confused and even somewhat frightened look, Xie Hou only found it more interesting, and the words he said made Xia Wan even more desperate.

"Come back to your senses. You are the first." Xie Lian waved his hand in front of Xia Wan, stood up, and his hand naturally wanted to rub her head.

And right at this moment.

His wrist was restrained by another force.

Xie disdained a stiff smile and looked at the source of this power. It was Song Zhili who was standing next to him.

He also held Song Zhili's wrist, and their hands were stuck in the air. It seemed that neither of them had the intention to let go first, and there was suddenly a subtle feeling in the air.

"Why does it smell like gunpowder..."

Jiang Yushi murmured, and then he successfully found the source of the weird atmosphere: Xie Yan and... Song Zhili?

Strangely enough, this was Jiang Yushi’s first thought.

What happened?

But before Jiang Yushi could figure out the problem, Wei Chiyan's voice rang out: "Oh, thank you, it's not Song Zhili who took your position, what are you doing? If you want to beat someone up, beat Xia Mu or Jiang Yushi."

Jiang Yushi's gaze fell on Xie Ni.

Ah...no way?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

Apart from Wei Chiyan, how could anyone among them care about such things as the F4 selection? Shouldn't they all hope not to be selected so as to save themselves the trouble?

Jiang Yushi convinced himself, so he looked at Wei Chiyan and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you think everyone is like you?"

"Yes, Xie Yan is just like me." Wei Chiyan explained to Jiang Yushi confidently: "Look how long has Xie Yan been back home? No matter how we persuaded him before, he refused to come back to attend classes. What about now? He came back to school specifically for the F4 photo shoot, which proves that he cares a lot. How can he not be angry if he is not selected?"

Jiang Yushi was silent for a few seconds.

It seems... that makes some sense?

The author has something to say:

Whenever Jiang Yushi is on the verge of discovering something abnormal, Wei Chiyan will brainwash him and rationalize everything hahahahahaha
