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

Song's mother sat beside him, hesitant to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

With so many shareholders present, this isn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it's clearly an attempt to force a change of heart. Whether I speak up or not won't affect their opinions.

Ultimately, it depends on how your daughter handles it.

Song's mother sneered; these people still didn't understand her daughter.

No wonder my daughter has always looked down on these people.

Meanwhile, Song Qingci was sitting in the car on her way back to the company.

The streetlights outside the car window flashed by one by one, their light and shadow flickering on her face.

She leaned back in the seat, eyes closed, breathing steadily, as if she were asleep.

But Shen Qinghan, sitting in the passenger seat, could feel the icy atmosphere of the entire car.

This was completely unexpected for them.

This is no longer a simple personal issue; it involves the interests of two top-tier wealthy families.

"Qinghan!" Song Qingci suddenly spoke.

"I'm here, Mr. Song!"

"Once you get back to the company, first get my personnel files. I need to see the appointment records for all middle and senior management positions over the past three years."

Shen Qinghan's pupils contracted slightly, then she replied, "Understood."

Others may not know the weight of those words, but she knew them very well.

Song Qingci is likely to turn his knife on his so-called Song family members.

Song Qingci opened her eyes, her gaze cold and sharp, like a knife just drawn from its sheath.

"They think that by forcing me to publicly acknowledge this marriage, I'll have no choice but to accept it reluctantly?" A faint, cold smile appeared on her lips. "Then let them see who really calls the shots in the Song family."

She's not a hothouse flower; she earned her place in a top-tier wealthy family through her own hard work and ability.

Do you really think she's incompetent and just a figurehead?

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan gripped the steering wheel tighter.

At this moment, Song Qingci took out her phone again and dialed a number.

The number rang twice before being disconnected.

The coldness on Song Qingci's face disappeared, replaced by fear and unease.

Like an abandoned kitten.

"He must be angry. Damn Bai Zifeng, damn the Bai family!"

Shen Qinghan froze. Song Qingci was also dissatisfied with the Bai family.

It's no longer just targeting Bai Zifeng.

On Monday morning, Song Qingci appeared at the company as usual.

She was wearing her usual white suit, her makeup was exquisite, she walked with ease, and there was nothing unusual about her face.

Everyone who saw her greeted her with a smile, and she responded to each one. She even chatted with a few department heads about work, her tone as relaxed as if nothing had happened over the weekend.

Several collateral relatives of the Song family were initially worried, fearing that she would cause trouble upon her return.

After all, they had done a lot of work to get Song Qingci to admit to it!

Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, their anxiety gradually subsided, and some even whispered in the break room, "It seems Qingci has admitted it."

"A wise person knows when to yield, and a marriage alliance with the Bai family wouldn't do her any harm."

"That's right, women eventually have to get married. Marrying into the Bai family is better than marrying that Jiang guy."

Upon receiving the news, Bai Zifeng was initially excited, but then became smug. "Heh, what number one beautiful CEO? With just a little effort, I can easily get her!"

Unbeknownst to them, the first thing Song Qingci did after entering the office was to send Shen Qinghan a message: "Is the list ready?"

Shen Qinghan quickly replied with a document listing all the key positions held by members of the Song family's collateral branches, a total of thirteen.

Song Qingci looked through it once, deleted two less important positions, and circled the remaining eleven people in red.

"Do you really think that just because you're surnamed Song, I won't dare to touch you? I was thinking of family ties back then, but now you don't want that affection anymore!"

"You've been parasites on the Song family long enough; it's time to clean you out!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Then Zhao Wan'er walked in gracefully.

Song Qingci raised an eyebrow as Zhao Wan'er entered: "Wan'er, you've become much more womanly lately. You even swayed your hips while walking just now; you were so alluring! Even I, a woman, am starting to have feelings for you!"

Zhao Wan'er was taken aback; she herself hadn't even noticed this.

She turned her head to look at the glass next to her.

That place reflects a stunningly beautiful woman, exuding charm and boundless allure.

She was no longer wearing the masculine clothes she used to wear.

Instead, it's women's clothing that better accentuates her perfect body curves.

Feeling her legs were still a little weak, she blushed slightly, which was unusual for her.

She didn't know if Jiang Jinhuan was provoked by Song Qingci's matter yesterday, because his actions were a bit rough, but she liked it and enjoyed it.

She unconsciously licked her lips, her face still showing traces of desire.

She quickly suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, stop talking about me. Tell me, what exactly happened yesterday? Did you and Bai Zifeng really go that far?"

Upon hearing Bai Zifeng's name, Song Qingci's face instantly turned cold. "He somehow altered the information I sent to the school, changing Jin Huan's name to his!"

Zhao Wan'er said, "That means he probably has people at Jiangcheng University! He could just say the message was sent by mistake, and that person would correct it, but he wouldn't come to you to confirm!"

"That's right, most likely!"

"That's really a clever tactic; he guessed you would publicly reveal your relationship with Jiang Jinhuan at the event!"

"It's not hard to guess. Anyone with eyes can figure out why I gave a speech at Jiangcheng University! Many members of the Song family know that Jin Huan and I have registered our marriage, so it's easy for them to guess that I held this speech for Jin Huan's sake!"

"Yes, you mean the Song family is also colluding with the Bai family?"

"What does it matter if they provide Bai Zifeng with a little information for their own benefit?"

Zhao Wan'er asked, "What are your plans next? I'm referring to your relationship with your partner!"

Mentioning Jiang Jin Huan, Song Qing Ci's eyes became somewhat uneasy. "He won't answer my calls anymore, Wan'er, what should I do?"

Zhao Wan'er's eyes were complicated, and she didn't know how her best friend would react after finding out about her relationship with Jiang Jinhuan.

She both wanted Song Qingci and Jiang Jinhuan to separate, but she also didn't want to see her best friend heartbroken.

She truly understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma.

"Why don't you agree to the cooperation with the Song family first, and I'll go and win over your man? Then what's mine will still be yours, right?"

Song Qingci rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Get lost! Anyone else is fine, but not him. I don't care if you want him to sleep with you, but he has to be your husband in name only!"
