Song JinXing said softly, "Come over and have dinner with Ah Ling." Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

Ah Ling?

Such an intimate form of address, no matter if it was Song Jiawei or Song Shuling, it was the first time they had heard it.

Song Shuling looked up at her elder brother, her eyes revealing some slight emotion. Song Jiawei felt like she was seeing a ghost next to them. Everyone could see Song JinXing's attitude towards his younger sister since he returned to the country, when did the two of them become so close?

They were clearly no better than strangers!

Perhaps noticing something odd about the atmosphere between the three, the stylish man across from them smiled and said, "In any case, it's my honor to share a meal with the legendary Mr. Song today. Let me introduce myself, I'm Wu Yuanliang, currently working at Jingliang Group."

Song JinXing, maintaining his domineering president persona, nodded slightly: "Hello."

Another girl joked, "Oh Yuanliang, you're too modest. Just 'working at Jingliang Group'? At your young age you've made quite a name for yourself, you're the young director of Jingliang Group!"

Wu Yuanliang laughed, "Calling myself young and promising in front of Mr. Song is really too presumptuous."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the waiter began serving the dishes. Song JinXing tasted a few bites, as expected of a high-end private chef who only served six tables a day, the taste was quite good and the presentation was exquisite. He made a mental note to try this place next time he met with Song JinXing.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Song Shuling silently eating, avoiding the bean dishes, she probably didn't like them.

Though he said he was here to eat with sister Jiawei, Shuling didn't join in her conversation with her two girlfriends at all, only occasionally chiming in with a few words. The prestigious young miss of the Song family was mingling like a tagalong.

Song JinXing frowned slightly, picked up his chopsticks and put a small piece of ribs on her plate.

She didn't say anything, just continued eating after he added the food. Song Shuling was startled by his actions, she turned to look at him, then looked at the ribs in her bowl, and suddenly her nose felt a little sour. She hurriedly lowered her head and stuffed the ribs into her mouth.

They were really delicious!

Perhaps prompted by Song JinXing's actions, Jiawei finally remembered to care for her cousin: "That's right Shuling, just now you said Wen Fei went to steal from your house today? What happened?"

Song Shuling recounted what happened that afternoon, and everyone was indignant: "That Wen Fei is really trash! He dared to go steal from his ex's home after cheating, this kind of person should be severely punished, as Mr. Song said, send him to the police station for a few years!"

Song Shuling was startled: "Oh... not bad I guess."

The other said: "Much better than Wen Fei! Weren't you always stuck in your last relationship, unable to move on? There's a saying, the best way to forget one relationship is to start a new one. Why not give it a try with Wu Yuanliang?"

Song Shuling looked a little flustered: "Huh? So soon? This is the first time I've met him."

"Just start interacting first! Relationships are built up over time. This is a partner your sister Jiawei picked just for you!"

They looked towards Song Jiawei as she said this, and Song JinXing also looked over with an icy expression.

Song Jiawei: .........

Actually after seeing Song JinXing's attitude towards Wu Yuanliang earlier, she didn't want to continue with their original plan anymore, but hadn't had a chance to message the two girls about it yet before they threw out the bait as planned.

Now faced with the icy stare of the living Yanwang, Song Jiawei felt her scalp tingle, but the conversation had already reached this point so she could only push through: "I thought that moping over trash like Wen Fei wasn't worth it, and wanted Shuling to meet more friends. If she feels she can talk with Yuanliang, they could try it out."

Hearing her words, Song Shuling looked very moved. In front of Song Jiawei she was like a docile kitten, completely unlike the hissing and clawing she showed her elder brother.

Meekly she said: "I think he seems pretty good too, then should I....."

Song JinXing interrupted her next words: "Do you understand Wu Yuanliang's background and family status?"

Her gaze was fixed on Song Jiawei as she spoke.

Song Jiawei was startled, somewhat guilty: "Basically, I think? Isn't he the young director of Jingliang Group? The young director of a group can't be too shabby, much better than what Shuling found herself."

Song JinXing's voice was cold: "Jingliang Group has been operating at a loss since last year. The three subsidiaries under it were acquired by competitors last year, and headquarters is in dire straits. Jingliang's chairman was hospitalized for a stroke early this year, and Wu Yuanliang temporarily took over, he has the title of young director but the company shares were stripped long ago. The young director of a soon-to-be bankrupt shell company, can you approve?"

That sharp gaze stared icily at her, sending chills down her spine.

Pinned by such a look, Song Jiawei blurted out her true thoughts: "Of course I can't approve!"

Song JinXing smiled slightly: "If even you can't approve, why do you think my sister would approve?"
