The wind in the night was very strong and cool. It followed her breathing and chilled her to the core. Song Wei felt her blood temperature drop and even her fingertips were ice-cold.

“Ye Haotian.” Her voice was calm as she stared at him. “Outsiders can see me as a joke and gossip about me, but I hope you won’t do that. I’ve always treated you as one of my own. Don’t tease me, okay?”

Ye Haotian choked.

“I…” He wanted to retort, but he saw through Song Wei’s calm expression that there was stubbornness in her eyes. There was also a wall that was hanging on by a thread, it would collapse should anyone touch it.

He immediately fell silent.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed at himself for spouting nonsense.

“Who wants to be one of your own!” He blurted out without thinking, turned around, and strode towards the roadside.

The sports car started up with a deafening roar and sped away like an arrow. The sharp wind from the car swept up the fallen leaves by the roadside. The empty street was a little bleak and cold.

Song Wei stood still.

“President Song, shall I send you back to the hotel first?” Wang Yu carefully called out to her.

Song Wei looked at her as if she had just woken up. She adjusted her emotions and forced a smile. “No need, it’s fine. You can go home first. It’s too late.”

Wang Yu was still worried. “Can you do it alone?”

Just now, Song Wei and Ye Haotian were quarreling. It did not seem intense, but she could clearly feel Song Wei’s frozen emotions. Hence, she did not dare to step forward at all. She only dared to speak when Ye Haotian left.

Song Wei knew what she was worried about.

As she looked in the direction Ye Haotian left in, those heart-piercing words still lingered in her ears. She tugged the corner of her lips a few times before she managed to pull out a decent smile. However, it was a self-deprecating smile that she could not control.

…

The next day, Song Wei went to Jiang Nan.

Compared to Jiang Bei, Jiang Nan Province was more prosperous. When Song Wei arrived, she went straight to where her business partner is, a five-star hot spring resort in Jiang Nan City.

This cooperation was very important to her.

If she could get her hands on the money, she could turn the Song Corporation’s finances around. In terms of ability, she could also help her stabilize her influence within the Song Corporation and contend against Jiang Yichang.

Someone immediately welcomed Song Wei when she reached the resort.

After settling the check-in procedures in the lobby, the person who came to welcome her told her that the CEO who was working with her would only have time at night, so she could go rest upstairs first.

Song Wei nodded and thanked him.

Pulling her suitcase along with her, she turned around and walked towards the elevator. Just then, the elevator door opened and a large family of people came down. They were discussing what to eat for lunch today. She waited for them to exit before pulling her suitcase in.

This scene was witnessed by some people.

At the other end of the resort, Pei Heng looked at Song Wei, who had already walked into the elevator, and exclaimed, “Damn, Chenchen, your wife came all the way to Jiangnan for business?”

Lu Chengchen sat on the sofa opposite.

He swirled the glass of red wine in his hand as he glanced in the direction of the elevator. His well-defined features were especially stiff.

This time, he came out to rest.

Every October, he would rest for a week. Hence, he did not even bring along Gao Ci and only had Pei Heng and a few friends.

Seeing that Lu Chengchen was ignoring him, Pei Heng thought for a while and nodded his head. “Yes, I heard that the Song Corporation is in a mess now. As a successor of the company she’s on stilts, she must be worried sick. Don’t mention the business in Jiangnan, even if the business was overseas she still must go.”

Lu Chengchen pondered for a moment and replied nonchalantly, “Mm.”

“Eh, that makes sense. I thought she followed you here on purpose after hearing that you came to Jiangnan.” Pei Heng looked at Lu Chengchen suggestively.

Lu Chengchen glanced at him coldly.

Pei Heng laughed out loud.

Suddenly, his smile froze and his expression turned unnatural.

“No way? I heard that President Zhang from the resort is here tonight to discuss a collaboration. That guy is an old pervert and has many ways to play with women. Could it be that he is Song Wei’s collaborator?” He looked at Lu Chengchen in surprise.

Lu Chengchen froze and looked at him..
