Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

Song Xijin came tonight hoping to relax.

After drinking two glasses of wine, I became even more irritable.

There are too many people and too many different kinds of people here; it's noisy and chaotic.

Feng Zhounan's laughter and the sounds of Tan Yao's business partners discussing stocks were all mixed together.

The noise made his head spin.

Song Xijin has been suffering from severe migraines lately.

My temples feel like a tendon is being pulled, and they throb with pain.

Every night when I get home, I can't fall asleep, tossing and turning in front of the empty house.

I can only barely fall asleep with the help of painkillers and sleeping pills.

Song Xijin stood up and said to Tan Yao, "I'll go sit at the bar for a while."

Tan Yao quickly stood up as well.

He could tell that Song Xijin wasn't in a good mood today.

Normally, when we go out for drinks, he's at most aloof and quiet, but today he's completely unapproachable, and his usual sharp and cold aura has been greatly diminished.

"Okay, do you want me to come with you?"

"No need, you can stay here."

Tan Yao understood that he wanted to be alone, so he didn't insist.

Song Xijin pushed open the door of the private room and walked outside.

The private rooms and the bar area are separate in this bar; the bar is located at the end of the corridor, around the corner.

There weren't many people today, just a few scattered booths in the corners.

He went to the bar, ordered a drink from the bartender, sat down in a corner, and drank it sip by sip.

Seeing Song Xijin leave, Tan Yanshan also stood up.

He came along today hoping to find an opportunity to have a frank talk with Song Xijin.

He did act impulsively at the coffee shop last time, using marriage as leverage to blackmail the other party.

They didn't understand Song Xijin's temperament.

When Tan Yanshan calmed down and reviewed the incident afterward, he realized how stupid he had been.

When discussing business with Song Xijin, things should be kept separate, but he insists on mixing emotions and business together.

The business deal is now done, but the Tan family doesn't get any benefit from it.

The relationship between the two families was ruined, and he also offended the person he should never have offended.

When Tan Yao saw Tan Yanshan get up and walk out, he hesitated for a moment but did not follow.

He couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

His cousin has always been stronger and more aggressive than him since childhood, so it's good that the two of them talked things out.

Perhaps if Tan Yanshan is rejected again tonight, he will be completely heartbroken.

Xi Jin clearly doesn't like him, but he insists on chasing after her, which only annoys her.

Moreover, judging from Xi Jin's expression tonight, Tan Yanshan definitely won't get away with it if he goes over there.

Without him stopping her, Xi Jin could retort on her own.

Tan Yanshan walked out of the private room, glanced at the bar area, and quickly found Song Xijin in a corner.

The black silk shirt exudes a refined and aloof air, its hem tucked into the waistband of the trousers, creating a tight silhouette.

He sat sideways at the bar, holding a wine glass in one hand, his slender, fair fingers lazily twirling the amber glass.

With his other hand supporting his forehead, his thumb unconsciously rubbed his temples.

She looked tired and distant.

Tan Yanshan walked over, pulled up a chair next to the bar, sat down, and asked the bartender for a drink.

Hearing the commotion beside him, Song Xijin's migraine made him react a beat slower than usual.

After a while, he looked up and glanced at it.

The moment she saw Tan Yanshan's face, the disgust in her eyes was undisguised.

He put down his wine glass and was just about to get up and leave when Tan Yanshan spoke up.

"Xi Jin, I think there's been some misunderstanding between us."

Song Xijin stopped what she was doing and didn't look at him.

His slender fingers rested on the edge of the bar, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Mr. Tan, what misunderstanding could there be between us?"

Tan Yanshan remained silent for a moment.

He held the wine glass, his fingers tightening.

He never apologized to anyone in his life, whether abroad or within his family in China. He was always the kind of person who kept his word.

Sitting across from a man nearly three years his junior, he felt for the first time that he needed to lower his head.

"I didn't think things through back then. I apologize to you."

"Xi Jin, the Tan and Song families have always had a good relationship, there's no need to let this matter cause any estrangement."

We'll be seeing each other all the time in business from now on, and this stalemate can't go on forever.

"Mr. Tan, you didn't have this attitude when you threatened me with those two business deals to force me to get engaged to you."

Song Xijin casually picked up her wine glass and took a sip. "You've already schemed against me, and now you're telling me there's no need to create distance over this?"

"It's just because I like you so much," Tan Yanshan said in a low voice.

He knew he had lost, but he still stubbornly wanted to make a final stand.

Tan Yanshan couldn't understand why Song Xijin disliked him so much.

Is it because his approach was too pragmatic?

He can change it.

Or perhaps it's because he's too impatient; he could have waited.

But he couldn't accept that Song Xijin completely denied him as a person.

"Sorry, your liking bothers me."

After finishing speaking, Song Xijin stood up and picked up the thin coat draped over the back of the chair.

In his haste, Tan Yanshan reached out to grab Song Xijin.

He still had a lot to say; he couldn't let Song Xijin leave like this.

Tan Yao appeared just in time.

He remained uneasy in the private room, fearing that the two might get into a conflict.

I came across this scene as soon as I came out.

Without making a sound, Tan Yao raised his hand to block Tan Yanshan's outstretched hand and steadily pushed it back.

His other hand naturally rested on Song Xijin's shoulder.

"Brother, Xi Jin has been in a bad mood lately, and I don't dare to bother him. Please don't upset him and let him go back and get some rest."

Tan Yao's voice was smooth and conciliatory, with a tone that suggested he was trying to smooth things over.

But their attitude was made very clear.

Let's leave it at that for tonight. Taking any further steps would be disrespecting everyone.

Tan Yanshan awkwardly withdrew his hand, slowly clenching it into a fist and letting it hang at his side.

Tan Yao is also in a difficult position.

He was, after all, a member of the Tan family. The downfall of the main branch of the Tan family would not benefit him, the second branch.

But Tan Yanshan keeps making a fool of himself by offending Song Xijin, and it's hard to guarantee that Song Xijin won't actually take action against the Tan family.

His intervention tonight was both to prevent Song Xijin from being harassed and to leave a way out for the Tan family.

Tan Yao put his arm around Song Xijin's shoulder and took two steps back, lowering his voice to say, "Xijin, let's go back and have a couple more drinks."

I asked Feng Zhounan to move to a quieter private room.

Song Xijin brushed his hand away, her voice filled with weariness and boredom.

"No need, I'm going back now, it's pointless."

After saying that, he left the bar without looking back.

Pushing open the bar door, a night breeze rushed in, but there was no coolness at all.

The sweltering weather made him even more irritable.

Tan Yanshan stared at the black figure disappearing through the door, his eyes growing increasingly dark, his fingers gripping the wine glass tightly.

The water droplets on the cup dampened his hands.

Song Xijin now loathes him to the extreme.

But he couldn't give up, because if he did, he would have nothing left.

Another layer of sinister scheming was churning in Tan Yanshan's mind.

According to the information he received, the young actress named Lu Yu had already broken off her relationship with Song Xijin.
