Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Song Kai went back to his dormitory, took a shower, and changed his clothes. When he thought about what the girl said to him, the corners of his mouth curled up.

So what if he was banished from the Song family?

Well, there was nothing to be sad about. After all, he had always wanted to escape from them since he was young.

So what if he had to break off his engagement with Lu Linlin?

He had no feelings for Lu Linlin anyway, so this would be sort of a relief and nothing to be sad about.

Tang Beibei was working hard to move herself forward, so he couldn’t admit defeat either!

After checking himself in the mirror, he went to meet Lu Huai.

Song Chong wanted to make things difficult for him, but he was no longer a little boy his grandfather could manipulate. Nor was he someone that his grandfather could bully as he pleased!

When Song Kai arrived at the restaurant, he sat down with Lu Huai to eat. With a sad expression, he told Lu Huai what his grandfather had said.

“Grandpa is an old-fashioned person. It’s customary to read a couple’s Bazi together before marriage. I didn’t expect him to say that Linlin is a jinx and will bring disaster to the Song family.”

“I tried my best to refute, but Grandpa scolded me for being an unfilial descendant and even threaten to kick me out of the Song family.”

“Uncle Lu, I’m really sorry. Let’s forget about my marriage with Linlin. I don’t want Linlin to live a hard life with me.”

Lu Huai’s face contorted when he heard someone say that his precious daughter was a jinx.

After the last scandal, he felt that he owed his daughter and would do anything to satisfy her.

But he didn’t expect the Song family to play this card. How would his daughter face the world after this?

“Song Kai, you should know that Linlin loves you. You can’t break off this engagement.”

Song Kai sighed. “I also want to be engaged to Linlin, but a marriage without the blessings of the elders will invite a lot of gossip about Linlin in future. If 1 have Linlin’s interest at heart, 1 will not make her suffer such misfortunes.”

“Uncle Lu, the Song family gave birth to me and raised me. I can’t ignore their wishes. I’m sorry to let Linlin down. I’m not fortunate enough to marry her.”

Lu Huai wanted to dissuade Song Kai but Song Kai still found an excuse to say that the Song Family thought that Lu Linlin was a jinx, which made Lu Huai furious.

“Alright, I’ll settle this with the Song family!”

Song Kai lowered his head helplessly, but he had a smug smile.

The Song Family would not have a good time when Lu Huai settled the score with them.

Song Kai replied, “Uncle Lu, don’t go. Grandpa is old and in poor health. He won’t be able to withstand such a ruckus.”

“Besides, I believe that someone has sabotaged my engagement with Linlin. After all, this engagement poses a threat to my cousin when they already don’t like me. However, I haven’t found any evidence yet.”

“Preposterous! I’ve always looked down on that brat Song Hai. How dare he slander my daughter? I will not forgive him!”

If news got out that Lu Linlin was a jinx, who would dare to date his daughter in future?

This was a cunning and vicious move. It was simply going to destroy his daughter!

Song Kai walked the furious Lu Huai out of the restaurant and patted some non-existent dust off his body.

He wasn’t sure if Lu Linlin was a jinx.

But he was sure that Lu Linlin had offended someone she shouldn’t have.

However, he was very curious who could come up with such a sinister move.

This game was getting more and more fun!

In Jiang Jingchen’s villa…

Jiang Jingchen carried the two puppies and was getting ready to pick his wife up from school.

The two puppies weren’t behaving and ran around in the car. Jiang Jingchen glared at them and said in a cold and threatening voice, “If you run around again, I’ll skin you and extract your bones and stew you!”

The two little golden retrievers were frightened and lay obediently at his feet. Jiang Jingchen casually tapped their heads with his hand.

“I got you two to please my wife, not to run amok. Behave yourselves!”

The two puppies whimpered and rubbed against his feet as if they were begging for mercy.

After all, these were puppies that had been trained since young. They were very intelligent and could understand some human words.

When they arrived at Tang Beibei’s school, they saw two girls standing together at the school gate.

The two of them ran over. Jiang Jingchen got out of the car and opened the door for them.

Tang Beibei said thanks with a smile and led Ruan Qi into the backseat of the car.

Jiang Jingchen then got in. Seeing the two women playing happily with the puppies, he put his elbow on the windowsill.

“Beibei, you look different today.”

Tang Beibei was puzzled. “Different how?”

“You’re wearing lipstick. You look nice.” Jiang Jingchen praised.

Tang Beibei blushed and did not dare to look at him.

Ruan Qi, who used the same lipstick, clicked her tongue. A lipstick that received compliments was a good lipstick.

A singleton like her did not deserve to have it!

However, she stole a glance at Song Zhou in the driver’s seat, cleared her throat and opened the car door to get out.

“I’ll sit in the front passenger seat.”

She was too big a third wheel to be squeezed together with the couple in the backseat.

When she sat in the front passenger seat, she realized that the man beside her was looking at her. Her heartbeat accelerated and her palms were sweaty.

However, the man did not speak for a long time. She turned to look at him and said jokingly, “Why are you staring at me like that? Even if you don’t mean it, you should give me a polite compliment about my lipstick, right?”

She was looking forward to it!

Song Zhou shook his head with a smile and reached over to her side.

“Hey, Song, Song Zhou, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you leaning over? Don’t tell me that you’ve discovered my beauty and want to do something to me?”

“Miss Ruan, what do you think I’m doing?”

Song Zhou helplessly buckled her seatbelt.

Ruan Qi rubbed her nose awkwardly. “I was just joking with you. Don’t mind me.”

Song Zhou saw that her cheeks were red, and she shrank in her seat, hoping to hide. He held back his laughter and said, “You’ve put on lipstick, and you look nice.”

“Thank you.”

Ruan Qi covered her face with her hands as it turned bright red.

Tang Beibei looked in the front seat curiously. She was about to say something when Jiang Jingchen stopped her. Jiang Jingchen then shook his head at her, so she understood and didn’t say anything.

Jiang Jingchen then said, “Song Zhou, my wife is hungry. Send us back to the villa first before you send Ruan Qi home. Ruan Qi, you won’t mind, right?”

“I’m hitching a ride with you. Why would I mind?” Ruan Qi explained.

When they arrived home, Tang Beibei carried the two puppies and followed Jiang Jingchen out of the car. She watched Song Zhou drive away and asked curiously, “Hubby, are you trying to matchmake Song Zhou and Ruan Qi?”

“Just doing a good deed.”

Tang Beibei covered her mouth and laughed as she brought the two puppies into the house.

After dinner, Tang Beibei messaged Ruan Qi to ask her what she thought of Song Zhou.

Ruan Qi replied, “He’s a pretty good buddy.”

“Just a buddy?”

“Hmm, what else? Beibei, what are you thinking?”

“I’m just curious. If you like Song Zhou, I can help you.”

“No need. Don’t go around setting people up just because you’re married.”

Tang Beibei chuckled and typed, “Alright then. I’ll help you find out Song Zhou’s situation first. If he has a girlfriend, what his family is like…”

“…. Please don’t. If 1 want to know, I’ll find out myself.”

“Alright my brave little warrior. For the sake of being in love, all the best!”

Just as she sent the message, a man approached her from behind and reached out to hug her.. A deep voice sounded in her ear, “Beibei, do you want to be in love?”
