BETROTHAL(2)

CHAPTER 101 - DIFFERENT LI DONG

Huang Hou's coffee shop was only a little more than an hour away from Huai Rou Hospital, but because it was the peak hour, only two hours later did Zhan Li Dong and Song Zhien rush to Huai Rou Hospital.

At this time, Zhan Feifan's ward was already filled with people. As Song Zhien walked behind Zhan Lidong, he knew in his heart that they were probably members of the Zhan Clan.

Those with sharp eyes saw that Zhan Li Dong had arrived and hurried over, CEO, you're here!

Following the arrival of this voice, those in suits either dressed in suits or in suits gradually noticed Zhan Lidong and quickly turned their heads to greet him.

In a short moment, all the floors that Zhan Feifan was on were filled with greetings.

Towards these, Zhan Li Dong was exceptionally calm, only lightly nodding his head. However, the smile at the corner of his mouth made him seem so intimate.

When Song Zhien saw this, he suddenly thought of a proud and resolute face.

If it was him, he would probably walk over with a look of disregard! It was impossible to be so kind, even at such a critical time.

How is my father?

At this time, Zhan Li Dong's question pulled Song Zhien back from his thoughts.

CEO, the president of the Situ Group came by this morning to discuss the merger case a few years ago. However, after CEO Situ left, we discovered that the chairman was unconscious on the floor. The doctor said it was a temporary coma caused by excessive emotional upheaval that caused the heart to be overloaded, and now the chairman is awake.

A secretary dressed in a suit came out and stood in front of Zhan Li Dong, giving a clear answer.

And at this time, Song Zhien, who was standing behind Zhan Li, immediately thought of Situ Lei when he heard the name 'Situ'. But what did Situ Lei say that caused Zhan Feifan to faint?

This point, Song Zhien could not understand no matter how much he thought about it.

From what she knew, the Zhan Clan and the Situ Clan were old friends. From the friendship between Zhan Lidong and Situ Lei, it wasn't hard to see why Situ Lei would provoke Zhan Feifan to such an extent.

Because there was no point in saying that.

Alright, I understand.

The secretary seemed to want to continue, but Zhan Li Dong waved his hand, interrupting her words. At this moment, Zhan Liao Dong meaningfully glanced at Song Zhien, who had been standing behind him the whole time.

Song Zhien and Zhan Lidong's eyes met in midair, and they were even more confused.

Because the way Zhan Li Dong looked at him was always warm and gentle, it was impossible for him to be so complicated.

Zhi En, let's go in and see daddy!

After saying that, Song Zhien's train of thoughts returned to reality. However, even though she was still shocked, she actually stretched out her hand and pulled her hand.

The matter of the chairman fainting once again, has the media blocked it?

When he reached the door, Zhan Li Dong turned around and asked the secretary.

When the secretary heard this, he immediately replied, Don't worry CEO about this, it didn't alarm the media.

When Zhan Lidong heard this, he nodded his head in relief and then said, At this critical moment, the chairman's condition cannot be revealed to the media. Do you understand?

Then, without waiting for the secretary's reply, Zhan Li Dong grabbed Song Zhien's hand and walked in.

Song Zhi En was still immersed in Zhan Li Dong's sudden action, because Zhan Li Dong had always been doing his job, even holding his hand, he did not dare to take a step further. Yet today, in front of so many of his subordinates, he actually dared to treat her like this, which made Song Zhi En puzzled.

Somehow, Song Zhien felt that today's Li Dong seemed to be a little different, because he was holding her hand with force.

At this moment, Zhan Li Dong was pursing his lips and his usually beautiful chin. Due to his actions, his chin seemed to be very angular.

You stinking brat, what are you doing here again?!

Although he had just fainted again, after being rescued by a doctor in the hospital, he had already woken up. Furthermore, from the looks of it, he seemed to be in good spirits.

Zhan Li was about to speak, but his words were immediately cut off by Zhan Bufan. Zhan Li was about to speak, but then he was immediately cut off by Zhan Bufan. Zhan Bufan said with a face of pleasant surprise: Oh, little girl, so you are here too!

Song Zhien looked at Zhan Feifan, who was usually a tyrant, but now he actually showed such a kind smile to him. He seemed to be overwhelmed by it and greeted him, Uncle Zhan, are you feeling better?

Who knew that Zhan Feifan didn't care about this at all, because he had discovered something even more worthy of his concern.

He had long since become a bit murky, but his eyes were still as sharp as ever as he stared at the hand Zhan Li Dong and Song Zhien were holding together. Suddenly, he laughed like a child.

That's right. Chasing a girl is the same as rushing forward bravely. My foolish son is too passive, just like his mother!

Zhan Feifan waved at Song Zhien and said, Zhiyi, come over to uncle and have a talk with me.

When Song Zhien heard Zhan Feifan's teasing words, he realized that Zhan Lidong was holding his hand and knew that it was a misunderstanding. However, when she saw Zhan Feifan laughing like a child, she wanted to take her hand off, but she hesitated.

Furthermore, it was obvious that Zhan Li's hands were drenched, causing Song Zhien to not know what to do.

Alright.

After a long while, Song Zhien heard himself say.

Saying that, she gently pulled Li Dong's hand and walked forward.

Zhan Feifan seemed to be very happy. With the help of the nurse, he leaned against the pillow and half sat up.

Come, come, tell me. Where have you been these past few days?

Seeing the astonishment on Song Zhien's face, Zhan Feifan said, Me? Forcing this stupid kid to do something like that, he almost didn't force you with his death, but he refused to bring you here for me. Say, are you unwilling to accompany me, this old fogey, or is this stupid brat unwilling to tell you?

With Zhan Feifan's words, Song Zhien finally understood what he meant. He didn't think that she was looking at Zhan Lidong, who was standing silently behind him. He stood there facing the sun. His linen overalls and white shirt made him look like an angel.

Zhan Li Dong was the angel of her life. She knew this ever since she was constantly despised by Chen Tinwei five years ago and he was able to stand up and help her.

However, she owed a lot to the Angels. Did this mean that she, Song Zhien, was a demon?

Zhan Li met Song Zhien's questioning gaze and smiled. His smile was never relaxed, but the corner of his lips slightly lifted. He was calling Zhan Li Dong a prince by the warm and kind names of his fans.

At this time, facing the sunlight, Song Zhien looked over and felt that his smile really made people feel at ease. He couldn't help but smile at him.

Uncle Zhan, it's not that Zhan Li doesn't want to tell me, but I've been busy lately, so I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to find time to visit you.

Song Zhien turned around and said.

Zhan Feifan seemed to be very satisfied with Song Zhien's reply. His face was plastered with wrinkles, but because he was in a good mood, the wrinkles on his face made him feel extremely comfortable.

But at this moment, a voice rang out from outside the sick bay, instantly breaking this rare and comfortable time.

Aunt, it should be here.

This voice, Song Zhien would probably never forget it for the rest of his life.

It was said that even if one turned into ashes, one would recognize one's enemy. And right now, even though Fang Xinyue was not Song Zhien's enemy, she was close enough.

Thinking this, Song Zhien slowly hid the smile at the corner of his mouth, and his body also slowly stood up.

Fang Xinyue helped Madam Situ into the sickroom. Today, she was wearing a white dress with her black hair hanging down from her shoulders. Paired with her delicate features, she gave off an indescribably comfortable feeling.

Perhaps in the days without Song Zhien, Fang Xinyue was also a gentle and amiable girl. This was because there were not one hundred percent of the bad guys in this world. There was not one hundred percent of the people who were always making things difficult for them.

It was a pity that right now, Fang Xinyue had met with Song Zhien.

Brother Zhan, are you feeling better now?

The one who spoke was Madam Situ.

Song Zhien had seen her once five years ago, but he would never forget her. In her memory, she was just that elegant and graceful. Even if she didn't like you, she didn't want to show it. It was just that she was cold to you, making you retreat in the face of difficulties.

That year, Song Zhien had gone to take the title of Fang Xinyue. Deep down, he felt that even if Madam Situ didn't like him, she would still be targeting Fang Xinyue.

Since she didn't like Fang Xinyue, she didn't take her to heart. And because she didn't like Fang Xinyue either, she grew to be very noble, thinking that she was just an outsider looking at things from the outside. So the less Madame Situ didn't like Fang Xinyue, the more comfortable she felt in her heart.

Only until now did Song Zhien look at Madam Situ's slightly raised chin. Since she had entered the ward, she didn't even glance at him. Only then did she feel a slight sense of loss. It turned out that she had actually been looked down upon by Madam Situ.

Zhan Bufan slowly wiped away the smile on his face. Although he was still smiling, Song Zhien knew that he didn't really welcome the arrival of Madam Situ. As for Zhan Lidong behind him, he was even faintly hostile.

Sister-in-law, I, Zhan Feifan, am just an old skeleton. Although I am already over sixty years old, I am fortunate that the heavens still care for an old skeleton like myself. Even though I am old, but the heavens still care for an old skeleton like me.

As Zhan Feifan finished his speech, his face paled. Song Zhien looked at his tightly clenched fists and knew that he was suffering in his heart. He had just been rescued, and although it was nothing serious, it had taken up too much of his energy.

Song Zhien was not unfamiliar with this scene, and was even very familiar with it. Five years ago, Grandmother had just woken up. In order to let her train in peace, she would come visit her every time she was busy. Even though she was extremely tired, Grandmother would still force herself to stay awake until, one time, she actually fainted due to exhaustion.

However, ever since then, whenever Song Zhien thought of his grandma, he would only glance at her. When his grandma woke up, he would let her know that he had been here.

Uncle Zhan, why don't I help you lie down?

As expected, Song Zhien actually said it.

However, the moment the words left his mouth, Song Zhien immediately regretted it. This was because everyone in the sickroom now unintentionally looked at Song Zhien, including, of course, the Madam Situ who had ignored her the moment she entered.

Madam Situ's complexion became worse. She had just gotten up in the morning and heard that her son was preparing to withdraw the investment from Situ Group into the Zhan Clan Development Project. She was so angry that she had a heart attack. She immediately rushed over.

It had to be known that this development plan was decided when Mister Situ was still alive. It could be said to be Mister Situ's last wish. And now that her son was cooperating so well and suddenly withdrawing his money, although she didn't understand the reason, her first reaction was to rush over to Zhan Feifan to see if he was alright.

Who would have thought that in Zhan Feifan's sickroom, he would actually be able to see Song Zhien.

CHAPTER 102 - MRS SITU'S VISIT

When Madam Situ was young, she was most likely a very beautiful woman. Especially her pair of phoenix eyes, which were exactly the same as Situ Lei's. It gave her originally unremarkable facial features an eye-catching touch.

At this moment, the pair of beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with sharpness. She coldly glanced at Song Zhien.

This glance made Song Zhien's heart tremble uncontrollably.

On the side, although Fang Xinyue didn't show it on her face, she was still very happy. She stealthily glanced at Song Zhien's expression and screamed in her heart, Bitch, you deserve to be like this!

At this very moment, for the first time, Fang Xinyue felt that Madame Situ's cold attitude was really good. It must be known that in the past five years, she had eaten all of Madame Situ's shady movements.

Everyone in the industry said that Situ Lei was cold and unpredictable. Actually, after familiarizing herself with these two people, Fang Xinyue already had a deep understanding of them.

If it was said that it was cloudy and unpredictable, then how could Situ Lei even compare to a hair on Madame Situ's head!

In the eyes of Madam Situ, everyone, including herself, couldn't compare to Situ Lei and Situ Qing. In the eyes of Madam Situ, everyone, including herself, couldn't compare to Situ Lei and Situ Qian.

And at this time, even though Song Zhien hadn't given Situ Qing or Situ Lei face, it was clear that she had made it difficult for Madam Situ herself.

The saint will still cherish this old man!

At this time, Zhan Feifan suddenly chimed in. His words were natural, and his loving eyes made it seem as if Song Zhien was his daughter-in-law. Everyone in the room was shocked, and this naturally included Song Zhien himself.

But at this critical juncture, Song Zhien knew that Zhan Feifan was helping him out. He didn't care what Madam Situ and Fang Xinyue thought of him, and walked forward with a smile.

At this time, Zhan Li Dong, seeing the situation, also hurriedly walked forward. While supporting Zhan Qi's extraordinary body, so that Song Zhi En could easily pull out the pillow.

With the two of them cooperating, it was only natural that they would have Zhan Feifan's approval. He held Song Zhien's hand and then Zhan Lidong's hand as he smiled and said, This foolish son of mine has finally opened his eyes to the sun and the moon!

His tone was relaxed, and he wasn't stingy at all with his current happiness.

Although he knew that Zhan Feifan had misunderstood, Song Zhien couldn't bear to ignore the good intentions of this old man who was lying on the sickbed, much less allow his son's blissful father to think about it. Thus, he didn't say anything, only looking at Zhan Feifan with a smile.

At this moment, Zhan Li Dong wanted to speak up to stop Song Zhi En, but after facing Song Zhi En's gentle and sweet smile, he finally swallowed his words and looked at Song Zhi En with a smile.

Within that smile, there was gratitude, hope, and even a tiny bit of joy.

Naturally, when this scene entered the eyes of Madame Situ and Fang Xinyue, who were standing behind the two of them, it was a completely different scene.

Madam Situ felt that Song Zhien was truly a woman with a gentle personality. Not only did he seduce her son to be disobedient to her, he even seduced the young master of the Zhan Clan. It was truly incredible.

But like this, she felt very happy. She was glad that in the past five years, she joined up with everyone and hid all of this from her son.

At the side, Fang Xinyue also clenched her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. The well-known hatred in her heart made Fang Xinyue forget what a kind-hearted person should do.

She only felt that Song Zhien was truly capable. Situ Lei had been constantly breaking the rules for her, and yet he had so easily obtained the recognition of Zhan Feifan.

It was very natural for Fang Xinyue to hate Song Zhi En. She didn't want Situ Lei to remember Song Zhi En, nor did she want Song Zhi En to live a good life. It would be best if Song Zhien lived in poverty, suffering daily torture and humiliation.

And it was very obvious that the scene of Song Zhien together with Zhan Lidong had deeply moved Fang Xinyue. Although she wanted to use Zhan Li Dong as an example at the beginning, with his relationship with Song Zhien, Situ Lei could see that Song Zhien was just a normal woman.

However, at this moment, Zhan Li Dong was truly together with Song Zhien. This was something that Fang Xinyue could not help but hate. She even hated herself for making Song Zhien make a fool of himself at the music ceremony, and for letting Zhan Li Dong be the hero who saved the beauty.

However, what made Fang Xinyue even more furious was that the night before, when she wanted to make a big fuss about the scandal between Zhan Li Dong and Song Zhien, she was suppressed by someone else.

The newspaper had told her simply and clearly that someone had said that if they sent out this set of maps, they would be in serious trouble, and not just one newspaper.

Afterwards, Fang Xinyue still refused to believe in him. She then ordered someone to upload the picture to the internet anonymously. The words were also illustrated and explained, only to find that the picture had been deleted not long after it was uploaded.

From then on, Fang Xinyue came to realize that she had touched someone's reverse scale.

If one had the ability to do all of this in this world and didn't want to see these pictures the most, they would only have Situ Lei as their only option.

However, by doing this, Situ Lei would only make Fang Xinyue hate Song Zhien even more. She truly wanted to skin her, pull out her tendons, drink her blood, and stew her flesh.

When Song Zhien turned around, he was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know when Situ Lei had appeared in the ward and he was smiling at him.

Situ Lei was a handsome man, which was recognized by the industry. Especially when he was smiling, it was rumored that the employees of Situ Group who were hostile towards him were also attracted by him. When they saw him, they cried out that they could not take it anymore.

However, this was only a rumor. The smile Song Zhien saw at this moment truly made her shiver.

Situ Lei smiled as he looked at her. Because of this smile, he even revealed two cute canines. It was only when Song Zhien met his bone-chilling gaze that she realized that this was the smile that an Asura of the Infernal Realm would have.

Uncle Zhan, are you in good health?

After a simple exchange of glances, Situ Lei looked past Song Zhien and Zhan Lidong, all of them looking at Zhan Liandong. His tone was as emotionless as before, as if he was greeting a small cat or dog by the side of the road.

As soon as Zhan Feifan saw Situ Lei, he immediately lost all of his temper. His smile disappeared, and he coldly snorted. It was clear from his expression that he was the one who didn't like him.

On the other hand, Situ Lei didn't mind Zhan Feifan treating him like this at all. He lightly chuckled and turned to speak to Madam Situ.

Mother, you look like you're in a hurry. Uncle's body is so tough, why are you in such a hurry to come over?

Without waiting for Madam Situ to speak, he continued, However, Uncle shouldn't have sent us to visit him.

Situ Lei's cold gaze swept over Song Zhien, who was standing to the side, not knowing what to do. He then turned to look at Fang Xinyue, who obediently standing next to Madam Situ, and said: Hurry up and bring my mother home!

Hearing this, Fang Xinyue immediately replied: En.

With that, she looked at Madam Situ and said, Aunty, Brother Lei is right. You're not in a good condition to walk around, and Uncle Zhan should be fine right now. Why don't we go home first?

When Madam Situ heard this, she looked at her son's handsome and cold side, and then looked at Song Zhi En who had his head lowered from start to finish. This was the first time she approved of Fang Xin Yue's words.

She nodded at Zhan Feifan and said, In that case, Big Brother Zhan, I'll head back first.

With that, she held onto Fang Xinyue's hand and slowly walked to the door.

Situ Lei waited until Madame Situ had already left the sickroom before his gaze returned to Song Zhien.

He said coldly, At this critical juncture, do you still think that you don't have enough news, so you want to create another scandal?

The people present were all stunned. Song Zhien was the first to react, while Situ Lei was talking about them. However, when she looked at Situ Lei's expressionless face, she didn't know how to respond.

Hmph. Now, I am asking Zhi En to look at me. Do I not have the qualifications to do so?

Zhan Feifan, who was lying on the bed, did the talking.

Song Zhien thoroughly felt that other than having a bad temper and a stubborn personality, Zhan Feifan was actually a very cute and righteous old man.

This was the first time she saw someone challenge Situ Lei in such a direct manner. Moreover, he did not care about anything.

At this moment, Song Zhien had already forgotten that she was the person who dared to challenge Situ Lei without any reservations.

At the very least, in Situ Lei's eyes, Song Zhien was a woman that didn't know what to do.

Last night, Fang Xinyue had said to him: Look, big brother Lei, I was right. Why would she, Song Zhien, want to leave you alive? It's because she has already found a place to stay.

However, back then, Situ Lei was still unwilling to believe it. But now …

Situ Lei coldly glanced over and saw Song Zhien's expression change. He subconsciously smiled. Very good. He even felt ashamed.

However, Song Zhien avoided his gaze. It wasn't because he felt ashamed, but because she didn't want to meet Situ Lei's eyes. That was because it was truly hard work.

Uncle Zhan might not know, but now the rumors about the coco are flying everywhere, so I think the best place for her to go now is to stay home or work at the company and wait for the company to come up with a plan for her, not here.

When Situ Lei said this, he was clearly looking at Zhan Lidong. That pair of beautiful and outrageous phoenix eyes, at this moment, slightly raised it up, full of provocation.

As for Zhan Lidong, he didn't want to be outdone. Just as he was about to return, he was snatched away by Situ Lei.

He seemed to be ordering something as he roared at Song Zhien, Why aren't you going back yet! His tone was as though it was always a threat. His sharp gaze even made Song Zhien feel that if he did not follow his plan now, he might be caught red-handed.

I won't!

Only, someone as stubborn as Song Zhien sometimes made a decision in his head even though he knew there was no benefit in doing so.

You …

Unexpectedly, Situ Lei directly stretched out his hand and grabbed Song Zhien.

At this time, Zhan Li Dong was very quick. He quickly grabbed Song Zhi En's other hand and shouted: Feng, what right do you have to let Zhi En follow you!

There was a deadlock at the scene. Two men who were equally excellent at making women scream and men who were jealous of Song Zhien were both pulling on his hands at the same time. The situation was like fire and water.

His memories suddenly returned to that afternoon five years ago. Because he wanted to impersonate Fang Xinyue as Situ Lei's girlfriend and see Madam Situ, Song Zhien did not have the proper clothes to wear. Zhan Lidong volunteered to take Song Zhien to the most famous clothing store in A city and choose the right clothes for her.

Just as Song Zhien was happily wearing a beautiful set of clothes, Situ Lei appeared. Back then, he had said that he wanted Song Zhien to follow him.

CHAPTER 103 - DECISION AGAIN

Zhan Li looked at Song Zhi En with hope. Five years ago, Song Zhi En had unhesitatingly left with Situ Lei. What about five years later?

She would stay, he thought. They had stayed behind for him. After all, they were laughing so happily just now, and when they found out that her father was in danger, she didn't hesitate to follow and take a look as well.

Even if she did so, it was very likely that her already precarious image would once again be covered in a layer of dust, but she still had no hesitation in coming over to take a look.

Does this mean that in Song Zhien's heart, he was not completely without himself, right?

Zhan Li Dong kept guessing in his mind.

In fact, just now, when Song Zhien had decided to come with him to visit Zhan Feifan in the Yellow Thick Coffee Shop, Zhan Lidong had decided that he would give it a try.

He no longer wanted to be a knight waiting in silence. He also wanted to walk up to his princess and show her how fresh his heart was. Every second was filled with the throbbing of her heart.

At this moment, Song Zhien's heart was truly full of mixed feelings.

Zhan Lidong's palms were moist and hot. That sweat seemed to be constantly washing over her heart. On the other hand, Situ Lei's cold hands were shaking her, so she didn't dare to not face him.

All of this was truly a battle between heaven and earth.

Situ Lei, let go!

In the end, Song Zhien steeled his heart and coldly shouted at Situ Lei.

However, after she finished shouting, she regretted it. That was because, when she saw Situ Lei's usually cold eyes, a trace of sorrow suddenly flashed through them.

However, in the blink of an eye, that trace of sadness disappeared. It was as if it had never appeared before.

Song Zhien couldn't help but bitterly smile. That's right, why would such a proud person like Situ Lei have the word 'sorrow' in his life?

In the end, she, Song Zhien, was the one who thought too much of herself and fell into a fantasy.

Song Zhien thought, and the bitter smile on his face became even more obvious.

Compared to Situ Lei's increasingly cold expression, Li Dong was like a spring breeze. He imitated Situ Lei's movements just now, raising his eyebrows at Situ Lei.

That pair of peach blossom eyes, due to Zhan Li Dong's actions, was truly bright and magnificent.

Song Zhien, is this how Toms brings out his artistes?

In the next second, Situ Lei did as he was told and released Song Zhien's hand. At the same time, Situ Lei said those words.

Song Zhien's heart shook when he heard this. He looked at Situ Lei with disbelief in his eyes. He smiled at her as if Situ Lei had just said something simple, Have you eaten?

Song Zhien always knew that it was impossible for Situ Lei to fight a battle that he wasn't confident in. What he wanted to do, no one in this world could stop him. At least, in the current Song Zhien's eyes, this was what she understood.

Situ Lei was threatening him. He was threatening him with Thomas!

That was true. Situ Lei was the company's second largest shareholder, so it was too easy for him to leave a broker like Thomas behind.

Thinking of this, Song Zhien fiercely stared at Situ Lei. His beautiful eyes were like they were spitting fire, and the target of the spitting fire was the smiling Situ Lei.

When Zhan Lidong heard this, his face was filled with shock. He hated himself for not having thought of this earlier. It was no longer an industry secret that American Z faced the problem of mismanagement in China, and it seemed that no one was interested in taking over the mess.

After all, in the company, other than FOX, the newly formed female crew, who could barely make it, it seemed that the other artists were not worth mentioning at all. Most importantly, this company had a deep roots. Since the company's headquarters had yet to speak, what was the rush of outsiders like them?

At that time, Zhan Li Dong had indeed told Song Zhien that he could help her. However, Song Zhien still tactfully rejected her because she knew that Zhan Feifan had always disapproved of the business of entertainment. It was for the sake of their father's love, which had rarely abated in the past two years. When Dong Dong was about to offer to help the Chinese branch of Z Company, Song Zhien refused almost without a second thought.

Therefore, this was the reason for the intervention of the subsidiary company of Situ Group, Yafeng Media.

Zhan Lidong, I …

Song Zhien turned his head, and spoke to Zhan Li Dong with difficulty.

She could ignore herself, but she could not ignore Thomas, who had brought her to this beautiful and sacred stage, much less her grandmother, who was still waiting in the United States for her to hire the best brain specialist in the world.

Toms couldn't be unemployed, and neither could she!

Zhi En, since Feng has matters to discuss with you, you can go.

Before Song Zhien could finish speaking, Zhan Lidong said directly. His words, however, were filled with a caring and gentle warmth that made one feel touched.

Zhan Li smiled as he pointed at Song Zhi En's nose, then said: If there is anything that cannot be resolved, remember to call me!

When Song Zhien heard this, he didn't care that Situ Lei's expression had already turned bad. He smiled foolishly and replied, Mhmm.

Perhaps, she really needed to find a shoulder. This shoulder could not be that generous, but at least it could be given to her without reservation when she was at a loss and helpless.

Zhan Li Dong was without a doubt the best candidate, thought Song Zhi En. Song Zhi En thought like this, so he bowed to Zhan Yuan and apologetically said: Uncle Zhan, I am truly sorry, but I think I will have to leave first.

As for Song Zhien's departure, although he was a bit disappointed, Zhan Feifan still had a good view of it.

However, he felt that this was a good thing. Since he had already decided that Song Zhien could give his son happiness and be his Zhan Clan's daughter-in-law, he didn't want Song Zhien to have any unfathomable feelings or worries when he was with his son.

Mm, foolish child, what is there to be embarrassed about towards me!

Zhan Feifan was still smiling warmly as he spoke. As he spoke, he turned to Zhan Lidong and said, Why are you still standing there foolishly? Why aren't you quickly sending me off!

Upon hearing this, Zhan Li Dong nodded obediently, because even if his father didn't say so, he would still send Song Zhien home.

He really didn't feel at ease placing Song Zhien in the hands of Situ Lei. Five years ago, he didn't have the strength to fight against Situ Lei, but five years later, he was no longer the silly boy that blindly opposed his father for the sake of dancing.

Zhi En, I'll send you home.

As he spoke, Zhan Li Dong took the lead and walked out.

Song Zhien and Situ Lei looked at each other, but they couldn't resist the coldness in his eyes. They both took the lead to walk forward.

At this time, there were only two people left in the sickroom, Situ Lei and Zhan Feifan.

Situ Lei suddenly spoke up, Uncle, are you so sure that your son will be with me?

Zhan Feifan had lived for more than 60 years and had been in the market for dozens of years. Naturally, he wouldn't place a little brat like Situ Lei in his eyes, no matter how amazing he was in the eyes of others. However, he had always felt that Situ Lei was nothing in front of him, not even worth mentioning due to the attitude of a senior.

Hmph, my son was foolish in front of that young lady Song Zhien. He liked her for five whole years, but he didn't know how to confess. But in front of you …

As he said this, Zhan Feifan snorted coldly once more. His tone was filled with the pride of a father to his son. In front of you, I still have a lot of confidence in my son. Just watch and see.

Hearing this, Situ Lei laughed contemptuously, Uncle Zhan, you are really optimistic. Do you think that as long as I have my mother's trump card in my hand, the development of the Zhan Clan can continue to be carried out smoothly? Don't forget, the person who is in charge of the Situ Group right now is me.

As he spoke, Situ Lei's eyes lit up. His pair of phoenix eyes were incredibly beautiful. It's me, Situ Lei!

As he finished speaking, he ignored Zhan Feifan's pale face. Situ Lei turned around and walked out of the sickroom.

At this time, Zhan Feifan was in the ward, grabbing a teacup in anger and ruthlessly throwing it at the door without caring about his image.

Situ Lei walked out of the sickroom, but he wasn't in a rush. He took out his phone and slowly made a call to Song Zhien, After you go down, say goodbye to that brat, Zhan Lidong, or else …

You know what the consequences of offending me are!

With that, he hung up without waiting for Song Zhien to say anything.

You're still a bit too inexperienced to fight me!

Watching the elevator slowly descend, Situ Lei held onto the handle as he looked down at the view of Huai Rou Hospital. It was as if a king was overlooking his land.

What's wrong with Zhi En?

At this time, in the parking lot of Huai Rou Hospital, facing the figure of Song Zhien who suddenly stopped, Zhan Li Dong gently asked.

Song Zhien turned around and looked at the phone that had already gone black. In the end, he chose not to look at Zhan Li Dong's gentle face and said in a suppressed voice, Zhan Li Dong, that …

Song Zhien choked with sobs, but he still said in the end, Why don't I go home myself, you … No need to send me off, Uncle Zhan and the company won't be able to leave without you right now.

After working hard for a long time, Song Zhien still couldn't bear to tell Zhan Lidong the truth. Even if she knew, perhaps it was due to her being as smart as he was already able to predict the real reason.

When he received Situ Lei's call, Song Zhien knew that Situ Lei still wouldn't let him go.

Song Zhien also clearly understood the consequences of what Situ Lei said!

As he thought about it, Song Zhien tightly clenched his hands and resisted the urge to tell Zhan Lidong the truth, because that way, he would only be able to show Zhan Lidong how ugly and unbearable she was.

In the end, Zhan Lidong was a considerate person, even though he didn't know why Song Zhien would take Situ Lei so seriously. In fact, from the looks of things, she was even a little afraid of him. After all, Song Zhien didn't need to be afraid of him, because no matter how tyrannical or powerful Situ Lei was, it was impossible for him to truly own the company.

However, when he saw Song Zhien's watery eyes, Zhan Lidong finally gave in. He gently patted Song Zhien's shoulder, and looked at her deeply: Zhien, promise me, tell him clearly, leave the rest to me, okay?

Alright, I promise you!

Song Zhien heard himself say this.

When Zhan Li Dong heard this, he smiled for the first time like a child. He lowered his head and lightly kissed Song Zhien's forehead.

After that, he waved his hand and left.

Song Zhien watched as Zhan Lidong left. He didn't know why, but his eyes suddenly filled with tears. He knew that just because she told Situ Lei didn't mean it was enough.

This was because she and Situ Lei weren't clear about one thing. In Situ Lei's eyes, she, Song Zhien, was a shameless woman. Even Situ Lei knew that he loved her.

Song Zhien knew that even if Situ Lei didn't remember her, he would still love her after five years. If a man truly wanted revenge, then he could just take away everything she wanted and send her to hell. Also, Song Zhien believed that whether it was Situ Lei from five years ago or Situ Lei from five years later, both of them had the same power.

However, Situ Lei didn't.

He had simply asked her to come back to him in a stupid way.

However, Song Zhien could not tell Situ Lei about all of this and the so-called truth.

Song Zhien, who had never had any parental love or love since he was young, knew more than anyone else how important kinship was to a person. Although Madam Situ didn't know why she hated Situ Lei so much, it was clear that she did everything a mother should do for Situ Lei.

Song Zhien didn't want Situ Lei to suffer. He didn't want him to suffer through the dilemma of love and kinship after knowing the truth. Situ Lei's life should be glorious.

Therefore, Song Zhien chose to let himself suffer.

If she had to go to hell, then let her go to hell by herself!

CHAPTER 104 - FORGIVE HER FOR BEING A COWARD

Situ Lei was very satisfied with Song Zhi En's performance. When he arrived at the parking lot, he saw Song Zhi En leaning indifferently on his Maserati. He was truly smiling as he walked over.

Good girl!

Situ Lei smiled as he cupped Song Zhien's cheek and fiercely kissed him.

No matter how much Song Zhien dodged, his tongue still landed steadily on Song Zhien's face.

First the eyes, then the nose, then the lips … In the end, it even slowly extended to her collarbone. Situ Lei's hand irregularly reached into her clothes and directly pressed onto her private parts, slowly teasing her.

The originally numb Song Zhi En suddenly trembled after receiving Situ Lei's teasing. She tightly gripped her legs and looked at the man in a suit in disbelief.

Situ Lei, you …

Saying that, Song Zhien's face turned red in embarrassment. It was a true blush, and his entire face was red, spreading all the way to his ears and collarbones …

Heh …

Situ Lei smiled with an evil smile on his face. Song Zhien, I didn't think that you would have such a shy side to you.

As he spoke, he laughed even more insolently, and the movements of his hands became even more gentle, as if he was determined to ignite the passion in Song Zhien's body.

If you don't want me to get rid of you here, then behave!

Situ Lei coldly said as he dodged Song Zhien's kick.

As he looked at Situ Lei's ice-cold and handsome profile, Song Zhien didn't even shed a single tear this time.

If you really want it, please don't stay here …

After a long time, Song Zhien heard himself say this.

Before Situ Lei could say anything, Song Zhien opened his eyes again and calmly said, Please!

In truth, to a man, the resistance of a woman could be considered a pleasure, but to Situ Lei, the current Song Zhien's fearless expression made him feel a sense of defeat.

The Song Zhien he clearly wanted was not like this, why couldn't she also smile at him like before?

In fact, he had wanted to go on stage and hug her the night before, and she probably didn't know how seductive it was when she looked at people with her big, wet eyes.

However, in the end, Situ Lei managed to hold it in.

But when he saw that Zhan Li Dong did not care about the gazes of the crowd and charged onto the stage, he felt a sense of regret.

Indeed, Situ Lei regretted that he hadn't hugged her when Song Zhien was at his wit's end. He also regretted that he actually softened his heart and planned to let her go because of her tears a month ago.

But just now, when she smiled so gently at Zhan Lidong, when she actually appeared in Zhan Feifan's ward at such a crucial moment, he really couldn't hold it in anymore.

If in this life he could only use threats to keep Song Zhien by his side, then Situ Lei would be willing to threaten him for the rest of his life.

As he thought about it, Situ Lei reached out and picked up Song Zhien.

The performance of the car was naturally excellent. The leather seats and the 24-hour automatic control system were undoubtedly the symbol of luxury.

Situ Lei continued to hug Song Zhien. His almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Song Zhien's face. One of his hands gently pressed the switch on the seat and a small bed immediately appeared. Seeing this, Song Zhien couldn't help but smile.

Situ Lei, Fang Xinyue hasn't been able to satisfy you, right?

She only felt a bit of regret when she finished asking. This was because she discovered that Situ Lei's anger had already dissipated, but now it seemed as if it was slowly accumulating. It was also accumulating in a direction that was getting stronger and stronger.

Song Zhien, what if I say yes? You …"

Situ Lei's thumb gently brushed past Song Zhien's lips. When the lines on his thumb touched her lips, Situ Lei clearly felt her body tremble. So she was actually this sensitive.

As he thought of this, Situ Lei's lips curved up in a faint smile. His kiss seemed to cover the entire sky as it fell down.

Even though it was a luxurious car, the space was still too small. Furthermore, Situ Lei was very tall and big, so when he tried to take off his pants, he was lucky enough to knock on the roof.

With a peng sound, Song Zhien slowly opened his eyes. He didn't know why, but when he saw Situ Lei's pained eyes, he unexpectedly smiled.

Puchi …

Song Zhien laughed, and at this moment, the excitement that was slowly dissipating due to the sudden pain, once again slowly gathered over.

Situ Lei bent down and gently kissed Song Zhien's lips, coaxing him, Tell me, were you laughing at me just now?

Song Zhien's body, which was originally relaxed due to the funny scene, was finally frightened stiff by this kiss. She tightly pursed her lips and did not reply.

However, it was obvious that Situ Lei had a lot more methods in this area than her. Situ Lei only used the heat from his body to gently touch Song Zhi En's body, and Song Zhi En was so shocked that he had become completely familiar with his face.

Situ Lei seemed to be very satisfied with Song Zhi En's reaction. He smiled and said to Song Zhi En, Little demoness, are you going to say?

The threat was so strong that Song Zhien quickly opened his eyes and nodded obediently.

Situ Lei received a positive answer, but he didn't continue as Song Zhien expected. Instead, he stood up and helped Song Zhien finish dressing himself. He also helped himself put on some clothes before walking to the driver's seat.

During this period of time, Song Zhien was dumbstruck as he looked at Situ Lei. He couldn't help but ask, What is he doing now?

Seeing this, Situ Lei, who was starting the car, smiled and pointed at Song Zhien's nose. What? Do you want to continue?

Seeing his rare good mood, Song Zhien quickly shook his head.

Seeing Situ Lei's expression suddenly change, she immediately nodded her head against her will. This way of shaking her head and nodding her head really made people feel that she was adorable.

Situ Lei once again stretched out his hand and poked her with the tip of his nose. This time, he said, You really like that brat, Li Dong, doing this to you?

For a moment, Song Zhien didn't know what to say and just stood there in a daze.

Seeing this, Situ Lei suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Song Zhien's shoulder. He held her in his arms and rubbed her forehead with his chin. He said, Don't be silly, silly girl. If you want to find a backer, you have to find one to shake me off. Otherwise, isn't that harming yourself and yourself!

Hearing this, Song Zhi was so shocked that he sat up in Situ Lei's arms. She looked at Situ Lei with disbelief, not knowing what he meant by that.

Situ Lei, what do you mean by that?

Song Zhien asked anxiously.

Seeing Song Zhien so anxious, Situ Lei was very unhappy. It was as if there was a stone blocking his way, but even though he wanted to be cold, he could only keep a cold face.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Situ Lei disdainfully said, What kind of bewitching soup did that brat, Zhan Li Dong, give you? I only said a few simple words, look at you, you're actually so worried!

Situ Lei, you …

Song Zhien was still very worried. He knew that Situ Lei wasn't someone who would casually say such things. She had known this all along.

Suddenly, Song Zhien thought of Zhan Feifan, who had been treated well. He suddenly fainted in the morning, and according to his secretary, his fainting seemed to have something to do with Situ Lei, followed by the arrival of Madam Situ. Then …

Song Zhien looked incredulously at the smiling Situ Lei in front of him. His small face was filled with shock.

Look at you, why are your eyes so wide open. I'm just taking out all the money that I previously put in the Zhan Clan Bank.

Situ Lei's words were light and casual, as if he were discussing what he was going to eat tonight. However, Song Zhien only felt that the world was falling apart.

This was because Song Zhien knew how important Situ Group's savings were to the bank.

About five years ago, Zhan Feifan started to invest almost all of his capital into a large-scale project, and Song Zhien learned from Zhan Lidong that there was still no real profit yet.

And for the past two years, because the project was not immediately fruitful, many shareholders began to stir up. Zhan Feifan had fainted from a heart attack at the shareholders' meeting that was initiated by the shareholders.

That was to say, money was extremely important to the entire Zhan Clan right now.

What was even more terrifying was that at this critical juncture, the Situ Group had already obtained all of their funds. In other words, the Situ Group was telling everyone that the Zhan Clan was done for. Then, immediately after that, the heads of the second, third, and countless other families would go to get the money.

And finally, it was the crisis that the Zhan Clan was going to face.

Situ Lei, how could you be so heartless!

After all the doubts had been cleared up, Song Zhi shouted in anger.

He put his hands on the steering wheel and started to beat the rhythm. He said, Song Zhien, speaking cruelly, I, Situ Lei, won't be able to make it in time for you.

Song Zhien was shocked when he heard this. At this moment, Situ Lei was looking at her with a gaze that had never been this focused before. It was as if his deep eyes possessed some sort of magic, attracting people's gaze step by step.

His heart, at this moment, was in chaos.

Did he remember everything?

Song Zhien thought in a daze.

Situ Lei, you …

Song Zhien blankly called out to Situ Lei, but in the end, he didn't finish what he wanted to say.

Song Zhien, I'll give you two options right now. One, stay by my side. Two, you can continue to be together with that brat Zhan Li Dong …

There was a cold light in Situ Lei's eyes as he coldly said, You are a smart woman. I believe in your choice.

With that, Situ Lei started up the car engine. The excellent Maserati dashed out of the Huai Rou Hospital's underground parking lot.

At the same time, Song Zhien's soul flew out …

She stared blankly at the attentive man sitting beside her. Suddenly, she felt that she was truly laughable, because she didn't want to make him suffer, didn't want him to suffer. She wanted to make herself, those who truly cared for her, suffer the consequences.

But would he still believe what was happening five years ago?

Song Zhien suddenly lacked confidence, and time seemed to have returned to five years ago, when she was still that lonely and helpless girl. Facing the pressure of public opinion, she could only choose to escape …

Situ Lei's car sped on. The black Maserati was not only a streamlined body, but also something that made everyone in love with it want to own it.

What was more praiseworthy was its excellent performance. At the moment it was like its owner, brazenly shuttling through the streets of A City, constantly leaving cars and people far behind.

Song Zhien sat in the car, looking at the scenery of the street that was constantly disappearing, the loneliness on his face gradually disappeared, and was replaced with a kind of numbness.

At this moment, the phone in her handbag was vibrating. It was especially loud in this quiet carriage.

Finally, Situ Lei, who hadn't spoken since then, spoke up, Answer the phone!

Song Zhien then acted like he just woke up from a dream. He slowly picked up his phone and saw that there were countless missed calls. Most of them came from Thomas and Zhan Lidong.

Without thinking, Song Zhien dialed Thomas' number.

The phone only rang for a moment before being picked up by Thomas, who was clearly looking for her.

Coco, what are you doing now?

It was rare for Thomas, who was known for his steadiness, to go crazy the moment he picked up the phone. However, this was not surprising. Toms had been looking for Song Zhien since morning and had never stopped dialing her cell phone, while Song Zhien seemed to have disappeared into thin air. No one answered the call, and no one replied.

He was even more worried when he got in touch with her and learned that she had already returned to her apartment.

I …

For some reason, Song Zhien didn't immediately reply to Toms. Instead, he looked at Situ Lei with a slightly uneasy expression. Seeing that he didn't seem to notice them, he said, Toms, I'm on my way back to my apartment.

Although Song Zhi En didn't know where Situ Lei was bringing her, she could only say this to Thomas.

Subconsciously, Song doesn't want to worry Toms.

That's good. Coco, the company has already agreed that you should rest at home and wait for the public opinion to subside. Of course, to the outside world, we will say that you are sick and need to rest.

Toms' voice, which was clearly in American Chinese, came from the other end of the phone, but it made Song Zhien feel relieved. She knew that no matter what she did, Toms would not really give up on her.

As he had done five years ago, when he had been beaten down from heaven to hell, he had appeared before her and asked, Are you willing to go with me to America?

At that time, Song Zhien had hesitated, and now, Song Zhien could no longer hesitate. All she had was a hundred percent reliance and trust on Thomas.

What about Bai Hui and Peng Mubai?

Song Zhien heaved a sigh of relief, but when she thought about the pitiful, teary look on Bai Hui's face, she couldn't help but ask.

After a while, he said, There's a fight in the group. Although the reporter hasn't really exposed the pictures or videos yet, the company has to rethink them now.

Reconsideration?

When Song Zhien heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. Did this mean that the company would very likely hide a person?

The two artists argued nonstop and even used force. Due to the chaos that occurred that night, Song Zhien was sure that if that schemer was exposed, FOX's original positive image would be damaged.

Regardless of whether Peng Lu Tao was right or if Bai Huai was wrong, there was a villain in FOX who was plotting against his teammates. It was already a real existence, and fighting others was not something to be proud of.

But...

Song Zhien couldn't help but look out the window at the big billboard outside the Sky Bridge. On it was a cosmetics endorsement banner advertising a certain popular product for the new season, and the spokesperson was the FOX, which they had received a month ago. Although the advertising fee wasn't low, when it was distributed among the four of them, it was just average, but it wasn't much. However, they were truly happy.

Song Zhien still remembered that the filming went very smoothly that day. The four girls had already finished their filming and for the first time, they went to the night market together. He didn't expect them to be recognized by the enthusiastic fans.

The four of them dodged at the same time, but at that time, they were truly happy. Even so, they laughed heartless.

Was it because of this, that their group was disbanded on the spot after being established for just half a year?

Song Zhien did not dare to imagine.

Hurry back to your apartment and stay there. Don't let the reporters have the chance to get in touch with you. Coco, do you understand?

On the other side of the phone, Thomas saw that Song Zhien did not say anything, so he did not feel reassured and told him again.

Yeah, I know, Toms.

Regarding this, Song Zhien could only nod in agreement.

Right, coco, are you able to fight back now? Why don't you get off the car first and I'll get Old Ma to pick you up. That apartment of yours isn't safe right now, and they're all reporters as well.

Toms' fears are not unfounded, but...

Song Zhien looked at the man who was still focused on driving and felt that it was wishful thinking to get off the car.

Coco, what's wrong? Are you in trouble?

Seeing that Song Zhien did not immediately agree, Thomas anxiously called out from the other side of the phone.

Originally, he had placed a military order in the main company. If he didn't really open up the Chinese market, it was very likely that he would include his old friends and so on. Many people who previously supported his decision in the main company would resign because of this.

And now, for some reason, Song Zhien, who was originally very popular in the United States, went into the Chinese market. He first went downhill, then was unreasonably banned, and finally broke out of a tight encirclement. To think that something like this would happen. It felt as if the blame was being placed on Song Zhien, but somehow, Thomas felt that it wasn't just on Song Zhien, but on some people in the company.

For this reason, Toms had recently really turned pale. If it was someone from the other branch of the company who was trying to get in the way, none of them would have a good ending. After all, the other side still had evidence of FOX beating people. Once it was exposed, it would be a devastating blow to FOX.

As he thought of this, Toms tried to console himself. It shouldn't be this serious yet, but one of the two had to go.

Song Zhien knew that Toms was about to face a crisis, but she wasn't as profound as he thought. She just felt that everything that had happened recently, one after the other, was clearly planned by someone, and she also knew that the person who did it was Fang Xinyue.

However, from the looks of it now, she could only be a cowardly turtle and wait for the situation to settle before returning.

Toms, I …

However, before Song Zhien finished speaking, her phone was taken away.

He saw Situ Lei, who had been focused on driving, suddenly pull to the side of the road and grab Song Zhien's phone without any warning, holding it in his hand.

She's with me right now, so she's safe.

His tone was cold and indifferent. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a pa sound, not caring if Thomas understood what he said or not. Song Zhien could not bear to see him act so domineeringly.

Situ Lei, what are you trying to do!

Song Zhien couldn't help but shout out. At this time, there was definitely some trouble with Thomas. Who would have thought that Situ Lei would take away her phone without her permission and hang up just like that?

Isn't this peaceful?

Situ Lei didn't care about Song Zhien's anger at all. He threw the phone to Song Zhien and said, "You don't need to care about these matters. If Thomas really doesn't have
