To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

"Heh, I knew it! Jiang Jinhuan was nothing but a discarded son of a lowly family, not even worthy of carrying Bai Zifeng's shoes. How could he marry him? It was all a lie!"

"Qingci isn't the type to be blinded by love, so why would she choose Jiang Jinhuan? This is clearly just to appease the old man."

"Now that the old man is unwell and has some memory problems, Qingci immediately couldn't wait to make her relationship with the young master of the Bai family public. This is the Qingci we know!"

Leaving aside the external reactions at this time.

At Jiangcheng University, Song Qingci looked at Bai Zifeng, who had appeared beside him, and his face turned pale.

She suddenly looked towards Jiang Jin Huan's direction below the stage.

But they saw Jiang Jinhuan had already gotten up and walked out, his back resolute, without looking back.

Shen Qinghan looked at Bai Zifeng on the stage with a puzzled expression.

Bai Zifeng wore a strange smile; his plan had finally worked.

He simply couldn't believe that Song Qingci would deny it under these circumstances.

Even if she denies it, how many people would believe her?

The Song family will not allow her to deny this.

His gaze swept to the side, and sure enough, he saw several members of the Song family receiving phone calls.

Song Qingci finally came to her senses and immediately said, "No, I want to clarify something for everyone..."

But before she could finish speaking, the microphone was abruptly cut off.

Several members of the Song family quickly stepped forward, seemingly protecting Song Qingci, but they forcibly dragged her towards the backstage area.

Song Qingci wanted to protest, but one of them said, "This is the board's decision!"

Before she could even react, Song Qingci had already been led backstage.

Song Qingci's face turned ashen, and he kicked one of the people away.

But more people blocked her from returning to the podium.

Song Qingci kicked several people away, but was still firmly blocked.

People in the venue gradually left.

The matter is now settled.

At this moment, Song Qingci suddenly turned to look at Bai Zifeng: "Did you do all this?"

Bai Zifeng shrugged and said, "Qingci, I don't know what you're talking about. This is the Song family's decision, not just my own."

Song Qingci trembled with rage. "Bai Zifeng, you deserve to die!"

At this moment, Song Qingci looked at the staff member next to her and said, "Who told you that my husband is his?"

The staff member looked somewhat taken aback: "That's the notification the school gave me. Is there something wrong, Mr. Song?"

Bai Zifeng smiled; with his methods, changing a notification message was a piece of cake.

He came back fully prepared this time.

He didn't believe that Song Qingci would still choose Jiang Jinhuan under these circumstances.

Song Qingci looked at Bai Zifeng and suddenly sneered, "Bai Zifeng, you don't think I'll just admit to this, do you?"

Bai Zifeng said, "That's probably not up to you anymore. It seems your Song family has already made its choice!"

Song Qingci sneered, "I've brought the Song family to this point. Do you think the Song family's decisions can influence me? Bai Zifeng, you underestimate me! Now get out of here!"

Bai Zifeng's face turned ashen. "Qingci, you're playing with the Song family's interests!"

Song Qingci: "It's none of your business how I do things!"

At this moment, Song Qingci's eyes were filled with ruthlessness and resentment as she looked at Bai Zifeng.

Bai Zifeng couldn't help but take a step back when he met Song Qingci's gaze.

He never imagined that Song Qingci would have this attitude.

"A fight to the death?" That was the meaning he saw in Song Qingci's eyes.

But this should absolutely not be the case.

Is Jiang Jinhuan more important than the overall interests of the Song family?

He guessed she would be angry and was certain she would handle the matter discreetly.

During this period, he will have opportunities to participate in activities.

But he never expected Song Qingci's reaction to be so intense.

He was certain that in that instant, Song Qingci actually wanted to kill him!

Perhaps he was seeing things, but he still couldn't believe that Song Qingci would risk everything against the Bai family for a peasant!

Then Song Qingci looked at the Song family members who had stopped her earlier.

"You're all very good, I'll remember that! Since you can't be tamed, it seems there's no need to raise you anymore!"

Those few collateral descendants of the Song family turned ashen-faced.

They also did not expect Song Qingci's reaction to be so intense.

As members of a collateral branch, they had always served as bodyguards to Song Qingci.

After all, they were neither good at academics nor martial arts, so they were just hanging around Song Qingci to earn a living!

I don't know what will happen next since I went against Song Qingci's wishes this time.

However, other family members should provide him with sufficient compensation.

This is why they dared to betray Song Qingci.

At this moment, Song Qingci looked at Shen Qinghan, who had followed her, and said, "Let's go!"

Song Qingci strode out.

Shen Qinghan quickly followed.

Song Qingci left.

The remaining bodyguards from the Song family exchanged glances, then lowered their heads and left.

Bai Zifeng originally wanted to follow along so that more people could see him and Song Qingci together.

But now he dared not. The disgust and murderous intent in Song Qingci's eyes just now made him unsure whether Song Qingci would go crazy!

When the Song family's shareholders learned that Song Qingci had returned without saying much, they were all overjoyed.

That very evening, a celebratory banquet was held at the old house.

After a few rounds of drinks, several uncles and elders from collateral branches held up their wine glasses, their faces flushed.

One of them, Song Guoping, was Song's father's cousin. He usually kept a low profile at the board meetings, but tonight he was the first to stand up and offer a toast.

"Qingci is a sensible child. Although he's a bit willful sometimes, he knows how to choose what's best for the Song family when it matters."

"Exactly, the Bai family's stock price has skyrocketed, and our Song family is reaping the benefits. This wave is enough to feed us for three years."

"I said from the beginning that marrying that Jiang family brat was pure nonsense. What could a poor boy who was kicked out of his home bring to the Song family? Now it's all right, the Bai family is the proper path."

"Come on, let's have another drink. Tomorrow, when Qingci comes back, we'll finalize the engagement, and then everything will be settled."

The group clinked glasses, the swirling liquor reflecting the smiles on their faces, as if they could already envision the Song family reaching even greater heights.

Mr. Song sat in the main seat, his face expressionless.

He remained silent, neither speaking nor raising a toast in celebration, simply watching the scene unfold before him, his fingers tapping lightly on his knees.

Others may not know about this, but they certainly do, though they still can't figure out what Song Qingci is thinking.

Was this scene deliberately arranged by Song Qingci, or was there another reason?

Having already experienced the mess of matchmaking once, they won't readily express their opinions.

Not to mention, this whole thing is eerily strange.

Mr. Song narrowed his eyes as he looked at Song Guoping.

These people only care about whether they can make more money; whether Qingci is happy is never a consideration for them.

But why should these people's interests be sacrificed at the expense of their own daughter's happiness?

They're a bunch of ingrates.
