After sending her father back to Ye Taiting’s place, Song Zhizhi embarked on her return home, with Luo Xiaolang, to her new house shared with Ji Baijian.

She couldn’t bear to disregard the sick person at home.

she walked through the front door.

Ji Baijian was sitting alone in the Sky Garden on the roof.

Even though it was clearly rather hot at midday, he still sat there all alone, it was all too lonely.

Song Zhizhi stared at his retreating figure, frozen in that moment.

In principle, Ji Baijian was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, having whatever he desired at his disposal. In the company of his own privileged conditions, he could be described as a son of heaven.

Yet, why was it?

She felt a profound sense of his solitude and loneliness, as if he had weathered numerous hardships.

Like he had experienced many unfortunate events, his thoughts heavy, and his posture lonely.

Her heart fluttered wildly.

She didn’t know why, but she felt an inexplicable sigh of sorrow.

She approached him.

Ji Baijian seemed to hear her footsteps; he turned his head.

With a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, he looked back at her.

There was no trace of the sadness she saw before, and his face was sported a radiant, cheerful grin.

“Back already?” Ji Baijian asked. “Mm,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

“How was it?”

“How was what?” Song Zhizhi pretended not to know what Ji Baijian was talking about.

“Did you manage to convince Qin Jingxiang?” Ji Baijian, unaffected, asked in his usual relaxed manner.

Song Zhizhi sat down next to Ji Baijian, “How did you know?”

‘Your expression told me.”

“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi stared at him. “Sometimes, I feel like you can see right through people. Do you have the ability to read minds or something? You seem to always know what others are thinking, what they’ve done, but we never know what you are thinking, or what you are doing.”

Ji Baijian’ lips curled into a smile as he lightly placed his hand on her head, as if he was stroking a small animal.

Song Zhizhi was not amused.

Ji Baijian sported a charming smile, “Don’t worry, I never bully youngsters.”

“Who is a youngster?! ” Song Zhizhi countered, “You’re only three years older than me, stop acting like an old man.”

Ji Baijian just laughed, his laughter could captivate an entire nation.

Sometimes, Song Zhizhi was afraid when he laughed.

His laughter made her heart flutter.

She got up, preparing to leave.

“Wife.” Ji Baijian called after her.

“I’m going to the restroom.”

“I just want to remind you, Qin Jingxiang won’t back down easily, you best be prepared.”

Song Zhizhi turned back to look at him, “Do you know something?”

“Not really,” Ji Baijian frankly replied, “But knowing her as I do, she won’t easily compromise. You should also know clearly that if Qin Jingxiang agrees to go to S Country to repair the flaw and successfully completes the project, the beneficiary will be your father. At this time, none of the head chiefs would be happy about it.”

“But if she doesn’t do it properly, it’s plain to see that Mr. Ye would place the blame on Qin Wenguo, and he would suffer a huge loss. Wouldn’t it be better for her to owe our Song family a favor instead?!”

“Makes sense,” Ji Baijian seemed to be convinced by Song Zhizhi’s argument. “I’ve done all I could for this project, how it turns out from here is in the hands of fate.”

“You don’t look like an individual who leaves things to fate.”

“In fact, I have no choice but to be,” Song Zhizhi gazed at Ji Baijian, “When it comes to you, I can only leave it to fate.”

Ji Baijian chuckled, “Your fate will be favorable.”

Song Zhizhi returned his smile, “May your words ring true.”

Ji Baijian watched as Song Zhizhi turned her back and stepped into the room.

His pupils moved ever so slightly.

At this juncture, Ye Taiting would certainly not allow Song Shan to triumphantly return.

He picked up the phone, dialed, “Yin Qin, have you found everyone?”

“Hmm, it’s still ongoing. ” Yin Qin said, seemingly a bit huffed, “One day you let me work properly, another day you make me run all over the world, Ji Baijian, whatever you say, I do. I’m better towards you than I am to my own father, aren’t you touched?!”

“If you’re willing, I could adopt you as my godson.”

“Get lost!” Yin Qin roared in anger, “Ji Baijian, you’re just taking advantage of me.”

“I’ve got to go, need to catch a flight.” Yin Qin abruptly hung up the phone.

Looking at his phone, Ji Baijian’s expression subtly darkened.

Monday.

Song Zhizhi woke up early.

She visited Ye Taiting’s villa on Saturday, then settled things with Qin Wenguo and his daughter. After a weekend, she was still somewhat uneasy.

Yesterday her father called her and said that Qin Wenguo had convinced Qin Jingxiang. She was to report back to Commercial Management today.

Even though there were a thousand reasons to believe, given Qin Wenguo’s current situation, he had no choice but to let his daughter join this project. However, the fact that things were going too smoothly still didn’t set her mind at ease.

She quietly got out of bed, washed up, changed her clothes, and carefully closed the bedroom door.

She was afraid to wake Ji Baijian.

However, as soon as she left, the man who had seemed deeply asleep opened his narrow eyes. His gaze was profoundly deep, without a trace of sleepiness. He was fully awake.

To be precise.

The few nights they had shared a bed, sleep was difficult to come by.

Once she left, he could get a decent sleep.

Song Zhizhi was oblivious of the thoughts of the man in the bed. She sat in the car driven by Luo Xiaolang to Commercial Management to work.

Her appearance was still unexpected, but she didn’t mind.

She sat in her office and made a call to her father, “Dad, have you started work yet?”

“Yes, I’m about to hold a project meeting.”

“Has Qin Jingxiang arrived?”

“She’s here as well.” Song Shan sounded distinctly pleased, “As soon as I arrived at the office this morning, Qin Jingxiang was already waiting at the door. She’s now waiting in the conference room. I didn’t expect Qin Wenguo to be so efficient, and it seems that Qin Jingxiang has a pretty proactive attitude.”

“That’s good.” Song Zhizhi nodded, “I’m also working now, loitering at home anyway. If there’s anything you need, just give me a call.’ “Alright. I won’t hold you up; I have a meeting.”

“Hmm.”

Song Zhizhi hung up the phone and stared at it in a daze for a while.

Indeed, she had nothing to do anyway, rather, she could help her father if there’s anything she could do.

She picked up the office phone, “Zhang He, could you come to my office?”

‘Yes, Manager Song.”

A moment later, Zhang He knocked on the door, “Manager Song, did you need something?” “What has our project been doing recently?”

“We received sudden orders from above on Friday about a rural rejuvenation plan. Director Zhang gave us two weeks to come up with an initial proposal. The three strategic project departments are now urgently planning. Currently, since you’ve been taking wedding leave, the work has been overseen by Manager Feng.”

“Okay, can you ask Manager Feng to come in.”

“Yes.” Zhang He was courteous, thought for a moment and then said, “Manager Song, this work is mainly being led by Manager Feng, but the specific project leader in our department is Yi Wenhan, should I call him in too?”

Song Zhizhi frowned slightly.

Yi Wenhan again.

“Yes, bring him too.”

“Okay.”

Zhang He left.

Soon, Feng Gang and Yi Wenhan walked into Song Zhizhi’s office.

The two men sat across from Song Zhizhi’s desk.

Song Zhizhi was straightforward, “I hear there’s a rural rejuvenation plan?”

“Since you were on honeymoon, I didn’t want to disturb you. We received a notice only last Friday. Director Zhang gave us two weeks. The project is primarily led by Yi Wenhan. We have a preliminary idea now. Wenhan, why don’t you report it to Manager Song?”

“There’s no need.” Song Zhizhi was direct, “Just leave your project proposal here. I’ll read it. If I have any questions, I’ll ask you.”

“Alright then.” Feng Gang hastily replied. Yi Wenhan was just staring at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi seemed indifferent.

Yi Wenhan placed the plan on her desk and left with Feng Gang.

As he left, his face looked terrible.

What qualifications did Song Zhizhi have to look down upon everyone!

He would not rest until he had ruined her!

Song Zhizhi, who remained in the office, didn’t care about Yi Wenhan’s thoughts. She picked up the rural transformation design plan and got lost in its contents.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

“Come in,” Song Zhizhi casually commanded.

The one who came in was Qin Jingxiang.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes paused for a moment and then she said, “Sit.”

Qin Jingxiang was holding a pink thermos. She sat down casually across from her.

Song Zhizhi put the plan down. Currently, Yi Wenhan didn’t actually have any substantial renovation plans, all she knew was the basic situation of this project and its desired outcomes.

She asked, “Did you need something?”

“I just had a meeting with your father and thought I’d come to see you,” Qin Jingxiang replied, “I wanted to see how you can be so calculating.”

‘You flatter me,” Song Zhizhi smiled gracefully. “I’m just trying to elevate our nation’s commerce. As for some extreme methods, I guess you won’t mind.”

“Don’t kid yourself. I always remember what people have done to me, ” Qin Jingxiang replied with a pleasant smile peppered with venom.

“Really?” Song Zhizhi didn’t seem to care.

“Yes.” Qin Jingxiang laughed unsettlingly.

Without hurry, she opened her thermos then abruptly attempted to splash the scalding water onto Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi stood abruptly and instinctively pushed back her hand.

This action only resulted in the hot water splashing onto her face but didn’t stop it from reaching Qin Jingxiang, during that moment.

Qin Jingxiang suddenly poured the water from the cup onto her own hand and let out a deafening shriek, “Ah….

Fortunately, the office door had not been closed.

Qin Jingxiang had intentionally left it open when she came in.

Passing colleagues were frighted by Qin Jingxiangs scream. People rushed into the room instantly.

When they rushed in, they saw Song Zhizhi’s hand pushing Qin Jingxiang while the water was all over Qin Jingxiang’s hand. The cup slipped from her hand, spilling its content all over the floor.

The scream echoed.

Song Zhizhi was shocked and couldn’t react.

Meanwhile, Qin Jingxiang had put on a pitiful expression.

Her innocent face was full of grievances. Anyone who saw her would sympathize. She cried out, “Song Zhizhi, I merely mentioned my past relationship with Ji Baijian. Why are you treating me like this? Why… Ah… It hurts…”

Song Zhizhi had no time to explain. She quickly grabbed Qin Jingxiang’s hand and dashed out of the office.

All she could think about was saving Qin Jingxiang’s hand!

She didn’t understand. Even the hottest water wouldn’t cause hand to deteriorate like this. The sight of the entire hand was shocking within just few seconds!

Song Zhizhi quickly brought Qin Jingxiang to the washroom and washed her hand under cold water.

Qin Jingxiang didn’t resist. She seemed not to feel any pain, and spoke in soft voice to Song Zhizhi, “Now, would you still ask me to participate in the IT project in S Country?!”

Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth.

Her hand was still deteriorating despite the intense rinsing. It was unbearable to look at.

Why was it just hot water? How could it cause such a severe burn?!

Would Qin Jingxiang harm herself to this extent just to avoid this project?!

She suppressed her emotions, constantly suppressing!

“Song Zhizhi, what are you doing?” An extremely angry voice echoed in the washroom. With this, Song Zhizhi was suddenly pushed away by Qin Wenguo. The force nearly made her fall.

“Have you lost your mind? Do you know what my daughter’s hands are used for? You actually scalded her with boiling water? My daughter has been allergic to hot water since she was a child. Even a slightly hot temperature can cause her skin to burn. How could you do this to her? I’m telling you, this is not over!” After speaking, Qin Wenguo quickly took Qin Jingxiang and left.

As they left, they bumped into Song Shan who had rushed in hurriedly.

Qin Wenguo glared fiercely at Song Shan, “This matter is definitely not over!”

Saying this, he pushed Song Shan aside angrily and left quickly with his daughter.

Song Zhizhi watched their retreating figures with a cold gaze.

As expected.

Qin Jingxiang would never accept it quietly.

Ji Baijian really knew everything!

Her throat bobbed slightly, and she turned to look at the many onlookers. Many had strange looks in their eyes, including her father, who looked at her with great disappointment.

Song Shan’s voice was cold, “Come with me! ”

Having said that, he turned around and left.

Song Zhizhi followed in Song Shan’s footsteps.

Song Shan directly took Song Zhizhi back to her office.

Song Shan forcefully shut the door, “What happened!”

“I was set up by Qin Jingxiang!” Song Zhizhi said, her face also somewhat ugly.

“Zhizhi, do you know how important this matter is to dad? You were even calculated by her!” Song Shan tried to keep his anger in check, paring down his words to the smallest possible volume.

“I know, but…” She let her guard down.

Never had she expected that Qin Jingxiang would go to such self-destructive lengths, and she was even allergic to hot water!

Even if ordinary people are scalded by boiling water, they wouldn’t get injured this severely!

There was simply no way to stop it!

“What do we do now?” asked Song Shan, “I just took a look at Qin Jingxiang’s hand. It’s so burned, it’S impossible to recover within a week. How will she operate a keyboard?”

Song Zhizhi was somewhat silent.

Song Shan shook his hand, “Enough is enough!” Then, he left angrily.

Song Zhizhi watched her father’s retreating figure.

It was only natural for her father to lose his temper at this time.

Everything had seemed settled, only for fortunes to reverse precariously at the last moment. Anybody would find this hard to accept.

In that moment, Song Zhizhi had a strong urge to strangle Qin Jingxiang

She bit her lip, picked up her phone to call while leaving the office, “Xiaolang, wait for me downstairs.”

“Yes.”

Song Zhizhi went down in the elevator. Luo Xiaolang was already waiting at the entrance.

“Drive to Jin City Central Hospital.”

“Alright.”

The car reached the destination.

Song Zhizhi went to the Burn Unit and asked, “Did a patient named Qin Jingxiang come in today?”

“Please wait a moment.” The receptionist checked, “Yes, she just checked in…”

Song Zhizhi left directly.

The nurse muttered, “I hadn’t even told her which room yet.”

Song Zhizhi didn’t have to ask. There were only so many VIP rooms.

She quickly found Qin Jingxiang’s hospital room and saw Qin Wenguo in the room, helping her with her burns treatment.

Qin Jingxiang’s eyes shifted and she saw Song Zhizhi.

Qin Wenguo also saw her. His face, full of worry for his injured daughter, changed dramatically.

Before he could speak, Qin Jingxiang said frankly, “Dad, you go out first. I think Miss Song has a lot to say to me.”

Qin Wenguo looked at his daughter, then turned to glower at Song Zhizhi, and left.

In the hospital room, besides the doctors and nurses treating Qin Jingxiang, only the two of them were left.

Luo Xiaolang also waited consciously at the door.

“How do you feel? Enjoying it?” Qin Jingxiang bore the pain of her wound dressing, and at this moment, she wore a triumphant smile.

“Do you find this amusing?” Song Zhizhi asked.

“Of course.” Qin Jingxiang said, “I’ve always been one to avenge grievances.. Whatever you’ve done to me, I won’t hesitate to return double the pain!”
