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

He glanced at the screen, then put his phone down again.

Lu Yu returned without greeting Song Xijin, intending to surprise her.

But given Song Xijin's temperament, there's only a fine line between surprise and shock.

If that person knew he had secretly returned to Beijing without telling him beforehand, he would definitely be furious.

Given Song Xijin's personality, she would definitely cause a scene.

Lu Yu decided to buy something to appease the person.

Previously, Song Xijin had always bought him things; he had never given Song Xijin a gift.

What should we give Song Xijin?

If the clothes don't fit, Song Xijin's walk-in closet is full of custom-made items; any one of them he picks is better than what he bought.

Perfume won't work either; Song Xijin uses a custom-made fragrance by a private perfumer.

I'm afraid I won't be used to the others.

Let's give accessories instead.

Cufflinks, tie clips, and ties are small, understated items that Song Xijin can use when wearing formal attire.

Lu Yu took a taxi to the largest shopping mall in Beijing.

The luxury brands inside are very complete.

He entered a long-established luxury store, where the salesperson noticed he was dressed in a plain T-shirt and jeans, with his baseball cap pulled low.

She was taken aback for a moment, but her professionalism made her quickly put on a smile and greet her.

As Lu Yu approached, she could see the face under the brim of his hat.

He couldn't help but take a breath, and his tone became even more polite.

"Hello sir, what would you like to see?"

Lu Yu glanced around the store. "Let me take a look at the cufflinks and tie clips."

The salesperson led him to the accessories section, where several rows of cufflinks and tie clips were neatly displayed in glass cases.

Lu Yu bent down and examined it carefully for a long time.

He himself wasn't picky, but he wanted to choose a pair that best suited Song Xijin.

Song Xijin's demeanor in public is always aloof, dignified, and unassuming; the accessories she wears cannot be too flashy or gaudy.

I also don't like flashy big logos.

He prefers things that are understated, refined, and of high quality.

After searching for a while, Lu Yu finally chose a pair of platinum cufflinks and a tie clip from the same series.

The cufflinks are square and have a very fine brushed finish.

The tie clip is slender and has a simple curve. The brand logo is engraved on the back, while the front is plain with no patterns except for a shallow groove.

It refracts a subtle silvery light under illumination.

He then picked out a silver-blue tie with a dark pattern from the tie rack next to him.

The base color is deep navy blue, with fine silver diagonal stripes woven on it. From a distance, it appears plain, but upon closer inspection, one can see that the silver stripes flow with the angle of view.

This set costs nearly 50,000 yuan.

This was almost all the money Lu Yu had left after paying for his mother's surgery and subsequent rehabilitation.

He only kept a small amount of money for basic living expenses, just enough for food and rent.

Lu Yu handed the card to the salesperson and entered the PIN without hesitation.

Song Xijin arranged a private room at Peking Union Medical College Hospital for his mother, along with expert consultations and a free caregiver.

He knew all of this.

Now I spend all my spare money on gifts for Song Xijin without feeling the slightest bit reluctant.

After buying it, I actually started to look forward to it.

I'm looking forward to Song Xijin's expression when she receives the gift.

The salesperson wrapped the gift box, placed it in the brand's signature dark green paper bag, and handed it to him with both hands.

Lu Yu took the bag and walked out of the store. Standing in the atrium of the mall, she looked up at the floor guide.

I'm about to send a message to Song Xijin to arrange a meeting.

Song Xijin and Tan Yanshan were sitting in a coffee shop on the third floor of the mall.

Tan Yanshan initially wanted to book a private room for privacy and ease of conversation.

Song Xijin chose the window seat herself.

The seats in this cafe are spaced far apart, so most people wouldn't bother to listen to other people's conversations.

The main reason was that he didn't want to be alone with Tan Yanshan in a private space; the man's gaze always made him uncomfortable.

A window seat is the safest choice because it's a busy, well-lit area.

Last week, Tan Yanshan contacted him through his assistant Chen, saying that he had already spoken with the domestic heads of the two technology companies, and they were interested in further contact.

Song Xijin himself did not appear in person, but sent the business vice president of the chip subsidiary to negotiate.

The talks went fairly well, with the other party satisfied with the yield and production capacity of Song's chips; however, specific details of the cooperation still need further discussion.

Today, Tan Yanshan asked him out again, saying he wanted to discuss some details with him in person.

Song Xijin happened to be attending a lunch party nearby, so she casually made an appointment with this coffee shop in the mall.

In a public setting, it would be convenient for him to finish his talk and leave.

He ordered an iced Americano, took a sip, and put it down.

The taste was so-so.

He placed the cup on the saucer, looked at Tan Yanshan across from him, and spoke in a businesslike tone.

"Mr. Tan, since we're discussing business, you can talk to the person in charge of the technology company about the details of the cooperation directly. There's no need to come to me."

The specific terms are reviewed by legal and business personnel; I only look at the final proposal.

Sitting opposite him, Tan Yanshan's eyes were deep and thoughtful.

He held the coffee cup, his fingers tightening slightly.

In the past few days, he has thoroughly investigated Lu Yu, the person Tan Yao mentioned.

A newly graduated actor from university comes from a family so poor that his mother is seriously ill and hospitalized, and they can't even afford the surgery fees.

He was willing to do anything for money and got involved with Song Xijin while still in school.

What else could this be but a gold digger?

Tan Yanshan originally thought that Song Xijin was just playing around.

Just like those handsome boys who used to hang around Song Xijin, they dumped her once the novelty wore off.

They never cross the line.

After dumping just this one, Song Xijin still flew to Zhejiang Province twice and even went to deal with a male actor who didn't get along with Lu Yu.

Even the Ye family was implicated.

In the end, it was Ye Mingqi who took the initiative to leave the Ye family, and only then was the matter considered closed.

This matter even reached Song Yuanming's ears, and I heard that it initially caused some unpleasantness.

What Tan Yanshan found unacceptable was that Song Yuanming had recently shown signs of softening his stance.

Despite his strong personality, Song Xijin persevered in persuading his father to accept the young actor.

How can that be?

Song Xijin is his, and no one can touch him!

Even a lowly actor from a humble background dares to compete with him for a leading role.

Does he deserve it?!

Tan Yanshan's original plan was to take things slowly, rebuild their relationship, and make Song Xijin willingly be with him.

But the current situation no longer allows him to take his time.

Song Xijin's heart belongs to another person, while he can't even shake off the word "unfamiliar".

Tan Yanshan's patience had been worn out.

He began to think that perhaps Song Xijin didn't need to be willing at all; as long as he got her first, feelings could be cultivated later.

Tan Yanshan picked up his coffee cup and took a sip, his movements slow.

He put down the cup, raised his eyes, and looked directly into Song Xijin's eyes.
