Chapter 709: Not Entirely Unaware
The colleague was a bit sulky, and since it involved Song Yichuan, given the sensitive topic, they didn’t say more.
The Ji Family mother and daughter’s live broadcast garnered so much attention, and since it involved him, Song Yansheng couldn’t possibly be unaware.
When Chi Rui reported all this to Song Yansheng, he immediately smashed the coffee cup at his hand, terrifying Chi Rui into silence.
Chi Rui was helpless too; the Ji Family mother and daughter weren’t the kind who would restrain themselves for fear of offending TK, and Ji Yunjin was an old friend of the Lady, having helped Song Yansheng back in the day.
Chi Rui truly didn’t know what to do.
Song Yansheng’s face was gloomy, his sexy thin lips slightly moved, and after a while, he uttered a sentence: "Call Ji Xiangling, I want to see her tonight!"
...
Shi Nuan received a call from Song Yansheng saying he had something to do in the evening and couldn’t pick her up.
Shi Nuan wasn’t too surprised; with the rampant gossip and rumors outside, he was inevitably very busy.
She didn’t ask about it; she trusted Song Yansheng to handle it well, and even if he couldn’t, as long as she didn’t see it with her own eyes or hear it from him, she could consciously ignore it.
At six PM at the top-tier private room of Dream Paradise Hotel in T City, when Song Yansheng arrived, Ji Xiangling was already there.
Tonight, Ji Xiangling wore a tight-fitting dark red dress, her makeup was exquisite, and she wore seven-centimeter high heels, exuding a graceful body.
This was quite different from six years ago when she wore white sneakers and a shirt with trousers.
Of course, Song Yansheng didn’t pay much attention to any of this.
He glanced briefly at Ji Xiangling, his expression unchanged, then walked directly to the side of the dining table and sat down.
Ji Xiangling also sat down, and the waiting waiter asked whether to serve the meal now.
Song Yansheng nodded, fearing that after the talk, Ji Xiangling would no longer have the appetite to continue eating.
They ordered two top-grade steak sets; having stayed abroad for many years, it was rare for Ji Xiangling to taste such good steak back home.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Seems like you put a lot of effort into tonight!"
Song Yansheng leisurely put down the wine glass, smiled faintly, and said, "You’re exaggerating, since I’m not that fond of Western food, you should remember!"
Ji Xiangling’s eyes fluttered for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and while slicing the steak, she continued, "Alright, let’s not talk about this. I suppose you came to see me today because you have something to tell me..."
"Of course..." Song Yansheng said lightly, looking at her, his expression unusually serious.
He said, "Robert Byron, this person, I think you should be familiar with!"
Ji Xiangling’s face turned pale, and the hand slicing the steak stopped; she looked at him, her heart beating violently.
After a while, she said, "You... know everything?"
Song Yansheng shrugged, "I don’t exactly know, but I’m not entirely ignorant either..."
"Do you think there was something between Byron and me, and that’s why you didn’t want to accept me back then? But that night I was really drunk, and between Byron and me, we’re just friends, nothing else, believe me..."
"No, no, don’t misunderstand, Xiangling. I’m telling you this not because I mind something about you. I just want to say that everyone has their boundaries, and if you want to protect your boundaries from being touched by others, then you should first not cross others’ boundaries... everyone stands in their rightful place, fulfilling their roles, the world will be much better, don’t you think?"
