Chapter 532: 531: Relying on Yourself, Protect Yourself as Much as Possible (Second Update)



There was a black sedan parked at the entrance.

Song Zhizhi pursed her lips.

Song Zhidao was sitting in the passenger seat of her car, turning his head to look at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi parked her sedan next to the black car.

She got out of the car.

Song Zhidao followed her closely.

At that moment, the door of the passenger side of the black car opened, and a man dressed in a black suit stood in front of him, respectfully saying, “Miss Song, Mr. Jun is looking for you.”

Song Zhizhi turned her head.

The rear window rolled down, and Jun Minghan sat there, his gaze fixed on her.

Song Zhizhi looked back, seemingly hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked over.

Song Zhidao followed closely behind.

Jun Minghan said, “Miss Song, let’s have dinner together.”

“How could I refuse Mr. Jun’s kind invitation?”

“Please get in the car.”

The man in the black suit hastily opened the car door for Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhidao caught his sister’s arm, “Sis.”

Song Zhizhi smiled at Song Zhidao, “Don’t worry, wait for me at home.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“It’s not necessary.”

“I’ll go with you!,” Song Zhidao was very resolute.

“Let Song Zhidao come too. Coincidentally, Mingxi is also there. My mother just wanted to discuss Mingxi’s marriage with you two.”

Song Zhizhi didn’t have a reason to refuse now.

She really didn’t want her little brother to be involved in such a dangerous situation.

She whispered to her brother, “Zhidao, don’t be rash no matter what happens.”

“Alright.” Song Zhidao nodded.

The two of them got into Jun Minghan’s car.

The car smoothly drove towards a certain destination.

The inside of the car was quiet, no one saying a word, as if whoever spoke would reveal themselves.

The car quickly arrived at a secluded paradise.

The courtyard was filled with green bamboo, exuding peace and tranquility.

Song Zhizhi followed Jun Minghan’s steps into an inner hall.

Inside the room, a large round table seemed to be waiting for everyone to commence with the meal.

“Please have a seat, Miss Song.” Jun Minghan beckoned.

Song Zhizhi and her brother sat in front of the round table.

Jun Minghan sat next to them. Then, Jun Minghan said to the servants on the side, “Go call the lady over.”

“Yes.”

After a while.

Leng Wanqing appeared before everyone.

This was the first time that Song Zhizhi saw Jun Minghan’s mother. She must be close to 70, right! Leng Wanqing is a bit older than the Dean, she was about 33 when she gave birth to Jun Minghan, who is now 37. Right now, this woman has maintained herself so well, she doesn’t look more than 50, and still exudes charm and grace.

The woman supporting Leng Wanqing was Jun Mingxi, Leng Wanqing’s youngest daughter, who she gave birth to around the age of 50, hence her being the apple of her mother’s eye. It’s said that Lady Jun indulges her a lot.

The moment the two of them appeared, Jun Minghan stood up promptly and so did Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao.

“Mother.” Jun Minghan was extremely respectful.

Leng Wanqing gave a soft smile, appearing very friendly, “Sit down, there’s no need to be so formal.”

“Yes.” Jun Minghan was still very respectful.

Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao also sat down.

With the help of the servants, Leng Wanqing sat in the middlemost position, and Jun Mingxi obediently sat next to her.

At the dinner table, others only started their meal after Leng Wanqing began eating.

She was continuously attended to by the servants. Even when eating, she was fed by a maid, appearing extremely distinguished.

No one spoke until Leng Wanqing slightly raised her hand, indicating that she was full. The servant wiped her mouth for her and respectfully retreated.

Once she was finished.

Everyone else began to put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another.

Leng Wanqing then spoke, “Today, I invited Miss Song from the Song family here for a casual meal, mainly to discuss the marriage between your brother, Song Zhidao, and my daughter, Mingxi. Now that your father has passed away, Miss Song is Zhidao’s guardian, so we need to discuss this with you.”

Song Zhizhi replied to Leng Wanqing, “Zhidao and Mingxi are still young, so I think we can delay the wedding.”

“They’re not that young anymore. They’re both 22 years old, have been dating for almost one year, and their feelings are stable. Marriage is inevitable sooner or later. It’s better to get married and have children earlier when they’re still young. Just like me, I didn’t give birth to Minghan until late. Then came Mingfeng, and finally Mingxi. Now that I’m old, Mingxi is only 22 years old, and I can’t help but regret getting married so late.”

“Madam only appears to be in her fifties, it’s really inappropriate to say you’re very old.” Song Zhizhi flattered.

Leng Wanqing laughed, “I’d heard that Miss Song was intelligent and charming, and appreciated by everyone. Seeing is indeed believing. Zhidao, I’d originally planned to betroth my second son Mingfeng to you, but alas, you’re already married, it’s a great pity.”

“The lady is too kind.”

Leng Wanqing didn’t say much, she returned to the main topic, “The marriage of Song Zhidao and my daughter, I think we should set it on the eighth of next month. It is an auspicious day. The wedding doesn’t need to be too ostentatious, you know our official family status always entails keeping a low profile, but we also won’t shortchange the new couple in any way. I won’t miss out on any portion of the dowry that should be given. Not only that, I also plan to let Zhidao work in the official family after he and Mingxi get married, so that he can assist Minghan in the future, becoming Minghan’s right-hand man.”

“Thank you, Madam.” Song Zhizhi did not refuse.

At that moment, Song Zhidao looked a bit surprised, looking at his sister.

Song Zhizhi said, “Madam, since you are so fond of Zhidao, I won’t pretend anymore. As you can see, my family is now down to just my brother and me, depending on each other for survival. I don’t ask for much, just longing for my brother to succeed. If he is fortunate enough to have your support and that of Mister Jun, we will surely follow you faithfully.”

“With your words, I can rest easy entrusting Mingxi to Song Zhidao. However, I’ve heard that Ji Baijian is now on Jun Mingyu’s side, and Jun Mingyu has, indeed, been against us all these years. I want a firm answer from your mouth.”

“Do you want to ask me whether I’ll stand with Jun Mingyu or with you?”

“Miss Song is indeed smart, catching on quickly.”

“Rest assured, Madam. Ji Baijian and I have already separated. Admittedly, Ji Baijian is indeed with Jun Mingyu, and they often interact, but I really don’t know what their relationship entails. Before this, I did want to follow Ji Baijian wholeheartedly, thinking he could help my family and protect us. Now I realize that I had overestimated him and he isn’t as invincible as I thought. I don’t want to rely on anyone now, I’ll depend on myself!”

“I really like that phrase, relying on no one but yourself,” Leng Wanqing agreed. “So what’s your plan now?”

“I’ll choose a time to divorce Ji Baijian.”

“You don’t feel it’s a pity to divorce him?” Leng Wanqing asked.

“Not at all. Why should I waste my life on a man of no value? In my heart, family is far more important than anything else. Now, all I want to do is to look after myself and my brother. And I am clear about which side I should take.”

“Indeed, a wise woman who knows when to yield and when to stand your ground, capable of taking and letting go! Just like me back then,” Leng Wanqing said coldly, “Back then, because I couldn’t have a certain man, I infuriated a pack of stray dogs to kill him! Those who are useless to oneself should be ruthlessly discarded!”

“Madam is right.”

“It’s not worth it to simply divorce Ji Baijian.”

“What does the Madam mean?”

“Since we are clear-eyed individuals, I’ll talk plainly. Jun Mingyu has been lurking around us for years, or to put it bluntly, it’s Jun Cheng who has ambitions. I helped Jun Cheng ascend to the position of Dean, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been his turn as a bastard. Over the years, he hasn’t shown gratitude but has been sneaking around behind my back, seducing women and fathered Jun Mingyu as an illegitimate child. I pardoned Jun Mingyu out of mercy, yet I didn’t expect that Jun Cheng had been stealthily consolidating power for Jun Mingyu, attempting to seize our political power. I’ve been tolerating them for so many years because I didn’t want the official family to be filled with tumult, but these two have been intensifying their actions and have become threats under my negligence.”

Song Zhizhi remained silent.

She didn’t expect Leng Wanqing to be so straightforward.

Leng Wanqing said, “Considering the current situation, I definitely cannot bear to put up with it! I’ve heard that Ji Baijian is always serving Jun Mingyu, and since Miss Song has chosen to follow us, I hope to see your sincerity.”

“Please speak straightforwardly, Madam.”

“Don’t divorce him, help me kill Ji Baijian,” Leng Wanqing said, punctuating each word.

Song Zhizhi looked at Leng Wanqing, speechless for a long time.

Leng Wanqing raised an eyebrow, “What, can’t bear to part with him?”

“It’s not that I can’t bear to, but that I dare not,” Song Zhizhi did not hide her emotion.

Leng Wanqing sneered.

Song Zhizhi explained, “Although I can do many things to protect my family, murder is not something I can accept. Please understand, Madam, that as a mortal, I cannot be as free as you and Mister Jun.”

“That’s reasonable,” Leng Wanqing seemed to agree with Song Zhizhi’s perspective. She said, “You don’t have to take action yourself, you just need to create the opportunity for us.”

“Please speak, Madam.”

“You don’t have to kill him. You do as I said, I’ll do the killing.”

“I can promise you, Madam.” Song Zhizhi didn’t even hesitate.

Leng Wanqing was quite surprised at Song Zhizhi’s determination.

Song Zhizhi said, “Indeed, Ji Baijian is of no use to me, whether he lives or dies is of no importance to me. But killing someone for no reason does weigh on my conscience. Madam, if I help you kill Ji Baijian, what benefits can you give me?”

“What benefits do you want? I’ve already promised my daughter to your brother, do you think I’m not sincere enough?”

“Of course not, it’s just that my ambitions are even greater.”

“Miss Song, speak your mind. As long as it’s someone I admire, I don’t mind how high your conditions are!”

“Thank you, Madam.” Song Zhizhi replied, “Firstly, I hope you can take care of Qin Wenguo for me. I suspect that my father’s death is connected to him!”

“Qin Wenguo can’t die now.”

“Why not?”

“The Commercial Management needs someone to take charge. If he dies, Commercial Management will be in total chaos, and it may not be a good thing for Yanshang Country. Miss Song, in any case, we must consider the bigger picture!”

“But it’s impossible to let Qin Wenguo continue to swagger about. There must be a lesson!”

“I heard that Qin Wenguo’s daughter, Qin Jingxiang, is constantly targeting you.”

“Madam knows everything indeed.”

“To win someone over, I am willing to make great efforts to learn about that person.” Leng Wanqing stated bluntly.

“I admire the Madam’s style of doing things.” Song Zhizhi expressed her respect.

“I will let Qin Jingxiang bear the punishment instead of her father. Would that satisfy you?”

“Yes, it will,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

“Alright then. Does Miss Song have any other requests?”

“Yes, I do. I heard Madam say earlier that you want to introduce Mister Jun Mingfeng to me. I wonder, with my impending divorced status, would I be considered unfit for Mister Jun Mingfeng?”

Leng Wanqing was visibly stunned.

She looked at Song Zhizhi incredulously, surprised at this woman’s ability to negotiate for herself.

She had only thought of this woman as somewhat intelligent before, but now, she felt that this woman might become the second herself!

She was decisive, knew what she wanted, and understood how to maximize her own interests!

She suddenly started laughing, laughing heartily.

Song Zhizhi watched her calmly.

Leng Wanqing, emphasising each word sternly said, “Miss Song, I’ve lived so many years, but I’ve never truly admired someone. But you, you are a revelation.”

“I’m flattered, Madam.”

“Alright.” Leng Wanqing agreed immediately, “Once it’s done, I’ll immediately arrange your marriage with Jun Mingfeng!”

“Deal.”

“I always keep my word.”

“Thank you, Madam.” Song Zhizhi’s lips curled into a smile.

It had reached this point!

All she could do was do her best, to ensure she and her brother’s survival to the best of her abilities!
