"...Ms. Zhou?"

Song Yuning was a little surprised, but then she remembered that the murderer who attacked Zhou's house that day must have been caught.

Ji Zihan probably guessed it was this matter, so he lowered his head and leaned over to listen. Song Yuning was a little disgusted, so he just turned on the speaker.

"Well, it's me."

The person on the other end of the line continued to answer.

"Ms. Song, we have found the person behind this."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Zhou."

"Who ordered this? Do I know him?"

Zhou Qiwen seemed to feel quite guilty, and sighed before saying, "You have seen it."

"It's... it's Su Mingyue."

Hearing this, Song Yuning and Ji Zihan looked at each other, and both seemed to be skeptical about this matter.

"To be honest, I was indeed negligent. I didn't expect Mingyue to be so bold as to do such a thing in the Zhou family."

"Are you sure it's her? Have you found her?" Song Yuning asked.

"It's confirmed. But she has been sent abroad by her family. We don't know where she is, and I don't think she will come back."

"Ms. Song, you may not know that the Su family and my family are considered to be aristocratic families... Since their family has already handled it this way, then this matter... I can't delve into it any further."

Song Yuning's face suddenly turned cold.

Good one won't be coming back.

I just want to use this excuse to get rid of her. After a year or two, when she forgets about it, she will definitely take me back secretly.

It seems that Zhou Qiwen wants her to pretend nothing happened.

Although the accident happened because Zhou Qiwen invited her, it seems that she is not willing to take the lead in this for her.

"Ms. Zhou, I understand what you mean."

"Since the Zhou family is unwilling to pursue the matter out of consideration for their friendship, I will take my grandfather to the Su family when he comes to Hai City some other day."

Zhou Qiwen probably heard that Song Yuning was a little angry, so she quickly tried to make amends.

"Ms. Song, I am really sorry for you in this matter."

"These are the opinions of the uncles and aunts in the family. I really have no say. I know that you and Yuze are like siblings, and I may become Yuze's wife in the future. I hope this matter will not affect our relationship."

Song Yuning naturally knew that if the two really got married, she would not be able to cause trouble for the Zhou family because of Li Yuze.

But it's easy to cause trouble to the Su family.

So she politely replied, "That's natural. You are also a victim. Your birthday party was ruined like this."

The two exchanged a few more polite words before hanging up the phone.

Ji Zihan, who was listening in, held it in for a long time and finally had the chance to speak.

"Su Mingyue? She doesn't look like she has the guts to do that."

Song Yuning walked to the bamboo rocking chair in the yard and lay down, saying faintly, "How do you know that I don't have the courage?"

Although her idea was consistent with Ji Zihan's, she did not dare to make a rash judgment given the precedent of Xie Qingqing.

Or maybe Su Mingyue did do this, but was fooled.

Ji Zihan followed her and sat in the rocking chair next to her.

"So what do you think?"

Song Yuning leaned against the bamboo chair and said slowly, "Perhaps, we still need to go to the Su family to find out."

"As soon as we found out, the Su family moved the people away. It was too fast."

Ji Zihan turned his head, looked at her and said, "The Su family will look for you first."

Song Yuning also tilted her head to look at him. The moonlight was like water. The two of them just leaned on the bamboo chairs and looked at each other quietly across the stone table.

"Why do you say that?" Song Yuning asked.

Ji Zihan said calmly, “No one would want to offend the Song family for no reason, and no one would want to offend me.”

Song Yuning curled her lips in amusement when she heard this. "If you don't want to offend my family, forget it. What does this have to do with you? You are so narcissistic."

Ji Zihan stared at her and said, "Your business is my business."

Song Yuning looked at his pair of clear and straight eyebrows outlined by the moonlight, his eyes were as deep and unfathomable as a pool, and her heart suddenly began to beat uncontrollably.

She was stunned for a moment and quickly turned her head away.

"Don't give me that. Even if Su Mingyue really did it, it's all because of you!" She crossed her arms and said angrily.

"I have nothing to do with Su Mingyue." Ji Zihan said innocently.

Song Yuning snorted, "If she didn't regard me as an imaginary enemy, why would she target me for no reason if I didn't offend her."

"After all, it's all because of you."

"Be merciful everywhere."

“You don’t even know it!”

Song Yuning glanced at him coldly, not wanting to continue the conversation, and stood up to go back to her room.

Ji Zihan: “???”

How can this really be blamed on him?

He was anxious and quickly stood up and grabbed Song Yuning's wrist.

"Wait, why are you really blaming me?"

"I have nothing to do with her."

He explained.

"I don't even know her..."

Song Yuning glared at the wrist that he was holding.

Ji Zihan didn't know why, but he felt a chill on his back when she looked at him, and he let go unconsciously.

Song Yuning waved his hand and walked away.

Ji Zihan stood where he was, glanced in the direction of Song Yuning's room, then looked at his own hands several times before letting out a soft "tsk".

It’s strange, why are they afraid of Song Yuning now?

She was so angry that she didn't even dare to say a word.

It's really weird...

He sighed and shook his head all the way back to his room.

……

At the same time, the Zhou family.

Zhou Qiwen sat on the sofa and got angry with Zhou's father.

"Dad, look at her. Su Mingyue was sent away. I apologized to her in person, and she even told her about the relationship between our family and the Su family, but she still dared to pursue it."

"He also said he was going to the Su family to seek justice."

"Isn't she the granddaughter that the Song family found a few years ago? Is she so favored?"

Zhou's father was also extremely helpless when facing the daughter he had spoiled since childhood.

"Qiwen, since you've already informed her about this matter, just let it go. I've already made arrangements for the Su family, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Qiwen still seemed to be feeling uncomfortable, and complained again, "After all, she wasn't injured, so why is she acting like she's been wronged?"

Father Zhou's eyes darkened.

"Qiwen, I have to say something to you about this. How could you do something like this on your birthday?"

Zhou Qiwen was not convinced in her heart.

To be honest, it was indeed my own negligence. This matter was completely spur of the moment, which led to it not being done cleanly.

Zhou Qiwen raised his eyes, "Dad? You blame me too?"

Father Zhou sighed secretly.

Although her daughter was like this in front of her, she was smart, gentle and quite resourceful outside of her. She had managed the Zhou family's business well since she took over, which brought him a lot of face.

Zhou's mother came out of the kitchen with a fruit plate and scolded Zhou's father, "Okay, stop talking about her."

"When has our daughter ever caused anyone any worry? This time it was just a case of the horse stumbling."

Then she brought the fruit plate to Zhou Qiwen and comforted her, "You've learned your lesson this time. Next time, don't be so careless. Do it cleanly and without leaving any handle."

Zhou Qiwen took a bite of the apple and nodded.

She still felt that what his mother said made sense.

Father Zhou shook his head.

Mother Zhou wanted to ease the atmosphere, so she smiled and said, "Okay, this matter is over, don't let it affect your mood."

"Yesterday I talked to Yuze's mother about it, and the matter between our two families has been settled. Yuze has no objection, so I think we can put the wedding on the agenda."

"Wait a few days, I'll make an appointment with Yuze's mother, and Qiwen, you ask Yuze to come with you, and we'll go see the master in Hong Kong Island, look at our horoscopes, and pick a good day."

Speaking of the wedding, Zhou Qiwen felt relieved immediately.

She took Zhou's mother's arm and replied obediently, "Okay, mom. Mom is the best."
