Qi Yuye's choice was exactly what Song Ci wanted. She deliberately put on a heartbroken look and looked at Qi Yuye and Nan Shu.

"I'm asking you one last time, which do you choose: the company or this woman!"

Qi Yuye turned to look at Song Ci and sneered.

"You've held back for so long, and now your true colors can't be hidden any longer?"

"Being with Nan Shu is my business, and you have no right to interfere. As for the company, if you have the ability to take the company away from me, you can try."

The coldness in Qi Yuye's eyes made Qi Yao and the others shiver involuntarily.

They all knew Qi Yuye's methods, and suddenly felt uncertain. They could only look to Song Ci, hoping that Song Ci would be their pillar of support.

Song Ci's eyes held a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Qi Yuye's public remarks were undoubtedly a challenge to her. Everyone present was a prominent figure from all walks of life, and for her, as an elder, to be spoken to like that by a junior was a complete loss of face.

"You survived a great ordeal back then, I never imagined you would become so ruthless and decisive. If your father were alive, he would be happy for you."

"However, sometimes the company and the family are intertwined. For the sake of the hundreds of employees in the company and the employees in the subsidiaries, I can't let you be so willful."

"If you insist on being with this woman, then I'll have to talk to the board of directors and hear their thoughts. Perhaps you're not very suitable to be a manager at Shengda Group."

"You can give it a try."

Leaving those words behind, Qi Yuye ignored the stares of those around him and left the Qi family's old house with Nan Shu and Nuomi.

After leaving the old house, Nan Shu noticed that Qi Yuye's expression was not good, and she was very concerned.

"How are you?"

Nan Shu tugged at Qi Yuye's hand, her eyes filled with worry.

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Qi Yuye stopped and looked at Nan Shu with a serious expression.

"I don't care about them at all; I'm just angry at their attitude towards you."

Enen, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered. Hearing the conversation between Nan Shu and Qi Yuye, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Daddy, are there bad people bullying Mommy?"

Upon hearing the "Mmm," Nuomi nodded emphatically.

"They are all bad people, I don't like them!"

Seeing that the two children, though young, understood everything, Nan Shu and Qi Yuye couldn't help but smile.

Nan Shu reached out and touched the heads of the two children, and the unpleasantness she felt from what had just happened vanished.

Back in the car, seeing that Qi Yuye's expression was still off, Nan Shu hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

"Is there something you're hiding from me? I've had a feeling you've been acting strange ever since we left the old house."

Qi Yuye originally wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly before telling Nan Shu, but after seeing the worry in Nan Shu's eyes, he had no choice but to explain.

"There was something Song Ci said today that really bothered me. I've had this question in my mind for years, but I haven't been able to find any clues after searching for a long time. I think I'm probably looking in the wrong direction."

Upon hearing Qi Yuye's words, Nan Shu immediately thought of something.

Nan Shu stared wide-eyed at Qi Yuye in shock.

"Are you referring to the car accident from back then?"

Qi Yuye nodded, his brows furrowed.

"I always thought the car accident was an accident. I specifically asked someone to investigate the driver's background. All the clues I found told me that he was just an ordinary driver."

"But after hearing what Song Ci said today, my intuition tells me that this matter might be related to her."

Qi Yuye's guess was not impossible. After hearing Qi Yuye's analysis, Nan Shu's expression also became serious.

"In that case, let's start with Song Ci and see if she has anything to do with what happened back then."

"By the way, you clearly still have Song Mingkai as your trump card, so why didn't you use it when Song Ci threatened you today?"

"Song Mingkai is a ticking time bomb for Song Ci. Perhaps it is because he knows that Song Ci is with me that he couldn't hold back and planned this to force me to take action."

"I just didn't expect her to drag you into this. They want to force me to make a choice. They know I won't give up on you, so they deliberately used this opportunity to declare war on me."

In this way, they can both preserve their reputation and make it a legitimate reason to propose replacing the leader of Shengda Group.

Since that car accident, Qi Yuye has completely figured out the true colors of these people.

Three days after her birthday dinner, Nan Shu was preparing to attend a designer exchange meeting led by Master Chris when her phone suddenly rang just before she left home.

Seeing Qi Yuye's name flashing on the screen, Nan Shu quickly answered the phone.

"My people have found out who was behind the car accident back then."

A very short sentence, yet it made Nan Shu's heart skip a beat.

"Who is it?"

Nan Shu quickly pressed for an answer.

"It's Song Ci."

Even though it was an outcome she had anticipated, Nan Shu still couldn't help but speak out angrily when she heard Qi Yuye say that name.

"Does she really want to kill you that badly?!"

"She'd stop at nothing to get the company, so what am I?"

Qi Yuye sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

"So what are you planning to do next? They'll definitely make a move. Why don't we expose the car accident and let Song Ci face the consequences of the law?"

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Qi Yuye paused.

"I found out about this based on information provided by Song Mingkai. It was just some people's accounts, and there was no key evidence that directly pointed to Song Ci."

"This is also where Song Ci's brilliance lies. She didn't get involved in any of these things, so ordinary people couldn't trace her back to anyone, and even if they did, they couldn't convict her."

After hearing Qi Yuye's explanation, Nan Shu felt both heartache and anger.

"Are we just going to let her get away with it? You almost lost your life back then!"

Nan Shu stayed with Qi Yuye during that time, and she knew best the impact that incident had on him.

They never imagined that this whole affair was a scheme orchestrated by their own family.

Qi Yuye's gaze was icy. "Of course we won't set her on fire so easily, but since we have no leads, we have to put this matter on hold for now."

"I need your help with something right now, and it might require you to do something inconvenient..."

Hearing the worry and hesitation in Qi Yuye's tone, Nan Shu spoke without thinking.

"What kind of help do you need? Just tell me!"

"I want you to act in a play with me."
