Standing four or five meters away, Zhou Shijing stood in the crowd with an indifferent expression, facing her from afar.

Wen Song was stunned and frozen for a moment. She didn't expect to run into him in a bar. She subconsciously stood up and said, "Brother Shi Jing."

Surprisingly, Zhou Shijing didn't walk away in disgust the moment he saw her, but his gaze wasn't exactly gentle either. He glanced coldly at Xue Zijia beside her and casually asked, "Out with your boyfriend?"

Boy friend?

Wen Song realized that Zhou Shijing had probably misunderstood her and Xue Zijia. Just as she was about to deny it, Zhong Man appeared out of nowhere and greeted Zhou Shijing with a smile, "Brother Shijing, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

Before Zhou Shijing could speak, Zhong Man grabbed Xue Zijia next to her and said, "This is a top student from our school's law department. Since you're here, why don't you help Sister Songsong make a selection?"

check?

Wen Song sensed the ambiguity in Zhong Man's words and frowned slightly. Just as she was about to ask Zhong Man why she said that, she saw Zhou Shijing looking at her with a hint of mockery and disdain, and he said lightly, "Very good, a perfect match."

After saying that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Wen Song watched his resolute back as he walked away, and silently swallowed the explanation that was on the tip of his tongue.

Yes, what need is there for her to explain? He doesn't care about her explanation at all.

She walked silently out of the bar, her shoulders slumped. Zhong Man chased after her, calling out, "Sister Songsong, where are you going?"

Wen Song's tone was unreadable: "Go home."

Zhong Man grabbed her arm. "Are you angry? Are you blaming me for saying those things?"

Wen Song let out a sigh of relief. "Manman, you deliberately asked me to come here today, didn't you? You knew Zhou Shijing was here all along."

Introducing her to Xue Zijia was just a pretense; her real purpose was to let Zhou Shijing see her with other boys.

Zhong Man's little scheme was seen through, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She hadn't intended to hide it from Wen Song in the first place. "Sister Song, I'm doing this for your own good. We've both broken up, so why is it that Shi Jing has one girlfriend after another, changing girlfriends more often than clothes, while you still can't get over that relationship?"

She was indignant and felt sorry for Wen Song, saying, "They all say you haven't been out much lately because you're heartbroken and can't get over it. I want to show them all that you're still in good shape, Song Song, and you're not useless without Shi Jing!"

Wen Song has indeed been out less lately, but it's simply to avoid Zhou Shijing, and he didn't realize that people would be talking about him like this.

Still feeling a little sad, she whispered, "It's just a relationship, it's not that serious."

"Of course not!"

Zhong Man gestured for her to look at the various men in the bar. "Look at them, there are cute puppies, fierce wolves, refined men, and domineering men. The world has no shortage of men. What is Zhou Shijing? You think you've lost a towering tree, but in reality, you've gained a whole forest."

Her gaze was intense as she stared at Wen Song, her tone confident, "Sister Song, with your figure and looks, if you just broaden your horizons, dating eight people at once wouldn't be a problem at all."

Talking about eight at once?

Before Wen Song could even process Zhong Man's bold and outrageous remarks, she eagerly pulled her into the bar, saying, "Come on, let's go have some more fun. We finally got out here, and I haven't even had a chance to have a proper chat with you yet."

After leaving the bar, Zhou Shijing lost interest in having fun and sped back to Xinglan Bay.

Lu Yun hadn't seen Zhou Shijing for several days, and her calls to him had gone unanswered. Just as she was contemplating going out herself to bring him back, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure rushing upstairs. She immediately shouted sharply, "Stop right there!"

Zhou Shijing was already holding a grudge, and his reluctance to go home lately stemmed from his desire to avoid Lu Yun's nagging. His hands, hanging limply at his trouser seams, clenched into fists as he stood impatiently in place. "Ms. Lu, what is it now?"

"What's wrong? Haven't you been fooling around outside enough? You finally know how to come home!"

She walked up to Zhou Shijing in a few steps, smelled a pungent perfume, frowned, and fanned herself. "Zhou Shijing, you've really gone too far these days! Eating, drinking, having fun, living a life of debauchery—are you afraid your reputation won't be ruined enough, afraid Songsong won't be disappointed in you enough?"

"Wen Song, Wen Song, it's Wen Song again!"

Zhou Shijing let out a frustrated sigh. "What does she have to do with me now? Have you forgotten that she was the one who agreed to break off the engagement?"

"She was driven to that by you! You brat, anyone with eyes can see how much she can't let you go."

"You can't let me go, but you're busy dating new boyfriends?"

Zhou Shijing scoffed, "Mom, I advise you not to always think of people as so sentimental. In this world, everyone can live without anyone else."

Zhou Shijing spoke at length, but Lu Yun only extracted the most important words, her face full of disbelief, "You just said, Songsong has a boyfriend?"

Zhou Shijing felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside him. Too lazy to explain further, he turned and headed upstairs. "If you don't believe me, go to the bar now and see. She's probably still here, chatting happily with that guy."

Zhou Shijing had just gone upstairs when Lu Yun felt a tightness in her chest.

What did she say again? That brat Zhou Shijing will ruin her good daughter-in-law sooner or later!

Songsong is beautiful and has no shortage of suitors; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to send her to Lu Zhiheng and personally look after her.

But she never expected that Wen Song would start a new relationship so quickly.

Barely suppressing her shock and panic, Lu Yun immediately called Lu Zhiheng.

"Zhiheng, did you know that Songsong has a boyfriend?"

Lu Zhiheng was at a drinking party when he heard this. He frowned slightly, took his phone, and walked out of the private room. "What boyfriend? I don't know."

Lu Yun clicked her tongue, her tone agitated, "How could you not know? Shi Jing saw her with that man with his own eyes."

Lu Zhiheng frowned even more deeply, her mind flashing back and forth between the boy she had dinner with at the company and the boy who confessed his love to her on the street near the school.

Both of these seem unlikely, but besides these two, are there any other men around her?

Seeing that Lu Zhiheng remained silent, Lu Yun became even more anxious. "I had Songsong move next to you so that you would keep a close eye on her. Tell me, she's right under your nose all day long, and you still..."

"What do you mean by 'watching her'? Is she your prisoner?"

Lu Zhiheng himself didn't realize that his tone was a bit unfriendly, "I advise you to face the facts. She has now broken off her engagement with Shi Jing. She is free. It is perfectly normal for her to have a boyfriend. None of us have the right to interfere."

"How could we not interfere!"

Lu Yun said firmly, "Songsong is someone I raised myself. She got engaged to Shi Jing when she was eighteen, and the two children have always had a good relationship. If it weren't for Shi Jing's car accident..."

Lu Yun let out a deep breath as she said this, "Fine, if you won't help me, then so be it. But I absolutely won't just stand by and watch my future daughter-in-law be snatched away by someone else!"

Lu Yun's phone call not only failed to yield any useful information, but also left her feeling extremely angry.

She stood with her hands on her hips, pacing back and forth in the living room. "Aunt Tian, ​​what should we do?"

During this time, she has been exhausted from trying to reconcile the two children. "To be honest, even though I talk so fiercely, I really have no other way. Sometimes I just wish I could tie these two children together and get married on the spot, so I could save myself from worrying about them all day long!"

After she finished speaking, Lu Yun was suddenly stunned. Her chaotic thoughts suddenly cleared up, as if a long-blocked meridian had been opened.

The worries in her eyes vanished, replaced by a bright light. Lu Yun turned to Aunt Tian beside her, her mind racing with plans. "New Year's Day is in two days. Aunt Tian, ​​you should get ready. I'm going to take Songsong home for the holiday."
