“Nope, I did not say that. I know that you only have my best interest at heart, and that is why I have bought you an early birthday present!” Song Wenxin replied as she ran over to the sofa, brought the box with the tie in it to the dining table, opened it, and showed it to Song Jiamu.
Accepting the box, Song Jiamu looked at the blue and white striped tie and immediately smiled at the pleasant surprise.
“I must say that you do know your brother’s tastes!”
“But of course!” Song Wenxin laughed happily. She just knew that her brother would like the gift that she had picked for him!
After lunch, the family sat around and chatted happily.
Broaching the subject cautiously, Song Wenxin asked her father and brother for the latest news about the Shen family.
Regarding that incident of framing the Song family, it appeared that a senior executive of the Shen Group had stepped up and confessed to framing Song Jiamu, thereby bringing the matter to a close.
As they related the details, both Song Jiamu and Song Chengtao were baffled as to what had really happened and why.
Laughing, Song Wenxin said, “Maybe it’s because that senior executive from the Shen Group was suddenly hit by his conscience!”
But she thought it more likely that it was due to the pressure exerted by Jiang Beihan that the Shens had had to sacrifice one of their employees to take the fall!
Only that father-and-son from the Shen family would be capable of such a despicable act!
But, after this incident, the Shens would, for the time being, probably not dare do anything to the Song family.
“The Shens are mean people, but, don’t you worry, Wenxin, your brother here will protect you! Recently, I have been engaged in talks for a big business deal, and once that is completed successfully, the Shens will find it very difficult to mess about with us!” Song Jiamu announced gleefully, patting Song Wenxin on the shoulder.
“What big deal?” Song Wenxin asked, her curiosity aroused.
Song Wenxin’s parents had founded the family’s medicinal herbs business, growing the business into a few medicinal stores and a small factory in A-City. Together with their own farm for cultivating the medicinal herbs, they had built a steady business selling medicinal herbs.
Since his graduation, Song Jiamu had been placed in charge of the main lines of the family business, and he had done a good job, expanding beyond A-City and setting up stores in other cities.
And now that Song Jiamu had alluded to a big deal, Song Wenxin was naturally very curious.
“It’s confidential for now. We can celebrate as a family once I have successfully closed the deal on the collaboration!” Song Jiamu said, looking very confident.
“Then it would be your turn to buy me a gift,” Song Wenxin proceeded to angle for a gift, having noticed the confidence written all over Song Jiamu’s face.
“Of course. No problem at all!” Song Jiamu responded immediately.
…
Because she had told her family that she planned to move to the dormitory, Song Wenxin spent the afternoon packing her clothes and necessities.
In the evening, feeling a little sad at having to leave her family, she left her home with a suitcase, planning to hail a cab to take her to Jiang Beihan’s villa in the hills.
At that time, a royal-blue sports car pulled up suddenly in front of her before screeching to a halt.
Shocked, Song Wenxin took a couple of steps backward.
That was Shen Jiayu’s car!
The car door was pushed open from inside and Shen Jiayu began to step out of the car.
“What are you doing here?” Song Wenxin demanded to know, her expression turning unfriendly upon seeing Shen Jiayu.
“Song Wenxin, I never saw it coming that you’ve got it in you to hook up with Jiang Beihan!” Shen Jiayu commented with a wry smile as he got out of the car.
He had never expected his meticulously laid trap to get her to come to him voluntarily to be completely upended by Jiang Beihan, sending all his plans up in smoke!
