Early the next morning.

The Song residence was rather lively. 2 high-end makeup artists had been summoned to the house for their services. They would be prepping up Song Zhizhi and Nie Xiaofei.

Song Zhizhi was sitting in front of a makeup mirror. She had changed into a silver evening gown decorated with diamonds. The close-fitting design and the slim cutting of the dress made her look tall and slender. A fine platinum necklace adorned her neck, letting a small diamond rest between her collarbones. The diamond necklace and the gown complemented each other and did not appear immoderate in the slightest.

In contrast, Nie Xiaofei who was sitting next to her had chosen a pure white dress as usual. She always liked to dress herself in a manner that appeared sober and refined, but in formal occasions, it usually would not look formal enough.

Sudden noises came from the door, breaking the silence in the quiet dressing room.

Through the mirror, Song Zhizhi saw Ji Baijian walking in in a black suit and meticulously-combed hair. His sharp facial features were so exquisite that they seemed carved. At the moment, he was looking down with his lips lightly pursed… Song Zhizhi had to admit, this man was bad news for women.

And behind Ji Baijian was Yi Wenhan.

Compared to Ji Baijian’s formal appearance, Yi Wenhan looked a lot plainer. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of slightly bleached jeans. His hair was not well groomed. He figure looked relatively thin on the whole. Next to Ji Baijian, he looked so…inferior.

Even Nie Xiaofei could only admit that her brother was being blown out of the water. No wonder Song Zhizhi went back on her words the very next day after seeing Ji Baijian. Any normal woman would do the same.

She was extremely irritated.

“You came?” Song Zhizhi was speaking to Ji Baijian. Her mouth curled up slightly and her expression was gentle. Even her voice felt intimate and coquettish.

Ji Baijian gave her full cooperation. He said, “Of course I have to come pick you up personally.”

Sonz Zhizhi beamed.

Seeing the interaction between Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian, Nie Xiaofei’s face was unsightly. She turned to look at Yi Wenhan and saw that his expression was not much better than hers.

At that moment, Song Shan walked in, accompanied by Nie Wenzhi.

As soon as Song Shan came in, he said enthusiastically to Ji Baijian, “I just heard from the servants that you’ve come over. Why didn’t you say anything in advance?”

“Good morning, Uncle Song, Aunt Nie.” It was rare to see Ji Baijian being so polite.

Song Zhizhi could not believe that this was the same Ji Baijian who always held his nose high in the air. She found it inexplicably funny. Of course, this did not mean that Ji Baijian was trying to be funny. He had received a lot of etiquette tutoring growing up.

“The girls will probably take a while to get ready. Why dont you come have tea with me?” Song Shan invited Ji Baijian warmly.

“Sure,” Ji Baijian nodded.

Song Shan led Ji Baijian away. He never greeted Yi Wenhan from the beginning till the end. Nie Wenzhi did not dare to interject either. She gave Yi Wenhan a look and followed after Song Shan.

Song Zhizhi smirked inwardly seeing Yi Wenhan’s face. She deliberately said, “I never expected you two to have developed your relationship to that stage already. You two shouldn’t have put on an act in front of me.”

The deliberate mockery made the faces of Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei look even stiffer.

Before either of them could speak, Song Zhizhi added, “But fortunately, Yi Wenhan and I never started dating, so it won’t be awkward for you two to be together. More importantly, this allows me to be together with Ji Baijian, who’s a better match for me. Everyone ended up happy.” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

The colors on the faces of Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei came and went as they listened to Song Zhizhi, but they were unable to refute her words.

Song Zhizhi checked her reflection in the mirror and smiled nonchalantly,

“Well, I’m almost done. Why don’t you come tidy yourself up, Wenhan. Despite Xiaofei’s origin, she’s still a member of the Song family.”

It was a sentence that mocked the two of them at once. She reminded them that, one, although Nie Xiaofei was a member of the Song family now, she ultimately did not have a good origin; and two, even if Nie Xiaofei did not have a good origin, she was still too good for someone of Yi Wenhan’s status.

Yi Wenhan and Nie Xiaofei were so angry that their teeth gnashed.

Song Zhizhi pretended not to notice. She said to the stylist, “After changing him into a suit, give his hair a slight trim. It’s too long.”

“Yes, Miss Song.”

“I’ll be going first. I don’t want to be the third wheel here,” Song Zhizhi smiled naively.

Nie Xiaofei could not hold it in any more after Song Zhizhi left. Her expression instantly became extremely unsightly. “Who does she think she is?!” Yi Wenhan shot Nie Xiaofei a warning glance.

Nie Xiaofei clenched her teeth. Her body shook from trying to hold back.

After leaving the dressing room, Song Zhizhi did not go directly to her father and Ji Baijian. Instead, she went looking for Xiaochun. She did not say anything to the maid and merely gave her a meaningful look. Xiaochun immediately understood.

Song Zhizhi then went to the tea room.

Her father was currently engaged in a pleasant conversation with Ji Baijian. Nie Wenzhi sat next to them without interrupting, quietly serving tea. She really was a model of a virtuous wife and mother.

When Song Shan saw Song Zhizhi walk in, he smiled and asked, “You’re done, Zhizhi?”

“Yup,” Song Zhizhi smiled and twirled. “Do I look good?”

“Of course,” Song Shan answered affectionately.

“And what do you think?” Song Zhizhi asked Ji Baijian, “I specifically chose a more conservative dress this time so that you wouldn’t get jealous again.”

Ji Baijian felt a little awkward.

Song Shan was puzzled, “When did Baijian get jealous?”

“Dad, you have no idea how possessive you men can get. I wore a dress that was only slightly revealing to Xiaofei’s birthday party and Baijian wasn’t happy about it,” Song Zhizhi complained, clearly an intimate complaint between lovers.

Song Shan laughed, agreeing with her, “Well, you know how men are…”

Ji Baijian was even more embarrassed. He glared at Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi stared back in provocation.

It was a wordless exchange, but it seemed inexplicably intimate.

The atmosphere in the tea room was exceptionally harmonious, filled with laughter and chatter.

Nie Wenzhi, sitting at the side, was feeling extremely irritated despite her calm face. His son had been with Song Zhizhi for so many years before this. Song Zhizhi even said that she woud not marry anyone else but him. But now, she changed her mind just like that. What an ungrateful woman.. One day, Nie Wenzhi would make her die a horrible death!
