Of course, the Old Madam knew what Qi Yu meant by “keeping it quiet.”

On the second day of Qi Yu’s divorce, Qi Yu’s mother wanted nothing more than to announce to the world that her son had gotten rid of that woman. She even wanted her son to marry the Xu family’s daughter as soon as possible.

Now that Qi Yu was trying to cover up his divorce with Song Nian, the first person he needed to sort out was Madam Qi.

The Old Madam sighed, “Alright, I don’t know what’s going on on your side, but I’ll talk things through with your mother. Don’t worry.” After saying that, the Old Madam couldn’t help but add, “Actually, you and Xiao Nian didn’t have to go this far.”

Qi Yu didn’t say anything, and the Old Madam didn’t continue. She had already tried everything she could to persuade him back then. So, after saying this, she did not bring it up again, “Alright, take care of yourself when you’re out. Don’t worry about your family. Your mother usually doesn’t care about what’s important, but she still listens to what I say.”

After Qi Yu thanked his grandmother, he hung up the phone.

Not long after, Zheng Chengyang returned. Song Nian did not follow him. Zheng Chengyang said that she was feeling a little unwell and went back to take her medicine first.

After Zheng Chengyang sat down, he was indignant, “Don’t you think that the people from Fenghe group are too shameless? I had suspected that Director Liu had something to do with this. No matter how reckless his subordinates are, they wouldn’t have gone so far as to drug you at the dinner party.”

He felt that something was wrong when he attended the hotel’s dinner party. Director Liu had been pestering him to drink, but he had to use the excuse of going to the toilet to escape.

Zheng Chengyang sat across from Qi Yu, “If you were to fall into their trap that day, the terms of the partnership would be at their disposal.”

If Qi Yu had really let that woman sleep with him that day, whether he could get rid of her in the future was another matter. In any case, the partnership would definitely be led by the nose by Fenghe Group. 

Qi Yu did not expect that such a large company would actually use such underhanded methods. He had seen a lot of deceit in the business world, but he had never seen anyone use such dirty tricks at the start.

That was why he was completely unprepared.

Song Nian’s stomach was really unwell this time. She did not take any medicine before leaving the house this morning, nor did she bring any with her when she went out to play. 

She thought that she would be fine, but her stomach started to feel sick after a while. It just so happened that Zheng Chengyang said that there was an incident at the hotel, so she thought about it and followed him back.

Anyway, she didn’t have much fun, to begin with. Places like the “Ends of the Earth” were full of couples. When she saw the two stones, she felt very upset. When she suggested ending the trip, she could tell that Shen Chong was a little unhappy, or perhaps he had been unhappy since Zheng Chengyang went out with them.

However, she felt that Shen Chong would have nothing to do with her in the future, and she would not go any further with him, so she did not care too much. If she had to care about the emotions of everyone she met, she would be too exhausted.

After Song Nian, Zheng Chengyang, and Shen Chong left, she went straight to her room. She went to get the medicine first. The doctor said that her condition was too severe and had to be controlled with medication all the time, so she gave a bunch of prescriptions. 

Song Nian laid out the medicine and took it. After that, she was not even hungry. After taking medication, she lay on the bed and curled up. She woke up too early in the morning and did not sleep well last night. She fell asleep in a daze.

Just as she was about to fall deeper into sleep, she heard a knock on the door. Song Nian did not want to move. No matter who came knocking on the door, she did not want to respond. Fortunately, the knocking stopped after a while.

Song Nian thought it was a hotel staff member, so she didn’t pay attention. She fell asleep in a daze.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Song Nian felt someone approaching her bed. She was still quite alert. She opened her eyes and sat up suddenly.

In the end, the people standing by the bed were Qi Yu, Zheng Chengyang, and the hotel manager. Zheng Chengyang saw Song Nian sit up and let out a sigh of relief, “You scared me to death. Are you okay?”

Song Nian rolled her eyes, “Of course I’m fine. I’m just too sleepy.”

Zheng Chengyang turned to look at Qi Yu, “See? I told you she was fine, but you didn’t believe me.”

Song Nian turned her head and looked at Qi Yu, “You didn’t think I fainted again, did you?”

Qi Yu didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to the hotel manager and nodded apologetically, “I’m sorry, I made a mistake..”
