Chapter 170: Stop Mentioning Qin Xiaotian

Song Qingtian was very satisfied and, stifling a laugh, walked toward the door.

Ling Hanyu’s face darkened.

One Qin Xiaotian here, another there—has he already died?

If it weren’t for the special circumstances of this matter, he would have dragged her over long ago to give her a good talking-to.

Looking at how she’s holding back her laughter, she seems quite smug, doesn’t she?

“What are you laughing at?” Ling Hanyu asked coldly, his voice icy.

Song Qingtian turned around and said, “I’m not laughing at anything.”

Ling Hanyu’s mood was complicated. He moved his lips and said, “From now on, stop mentioning Qin Xiaotian!”

“Mm.”

On this point, Song Qingtian and Ling Hanyu were in complete agreement.

After all, Qin Xiaotian is Qin Xiaotian. Even if he has the same face as Qin Xiaotian, he’s still not the real Qin Xiaotian—and Song Qingtian knew that better than anyone.

As for a stranger named Qin Xiaotian, he meant nothing to her.

She was still Qin Xiaotian’s benefactor; two life-saving favors, and what did she get in return?

If it hadn’t been for the secret family marriage arrangement involving the Qin clan, wouldn’t she have long since fallen under Qin Xiaotian’s control?

Song Qingtian’s obedience slightly improved Ling Hanyu’s mood. As the two of them stepped out of the restroom, they saw Song Yinyin waving frantically at them from over there. It was only then that Song Qingtian remembered that Song Yinyin was still there.

“Mr. Ling, if you two have something to talk about, I’ll head back first. You weren’t…”

“What nonsense are you talking? What do I have to talk about with her?”

Ling Hanyu grabbed Song Qingtian’s hand and pulled her toward the dining table.

Song Qingtian was speechless—was he angry?

Was what she said not true?

Did Ling Hanyu really not know that Song Yinyin had ill intentions?

Even though he knew full well that Song Yinyin had harmed his daughter, he still met with her. He was Ling Hanyu, the CEO of a major corporation—not some ordinary citizen who could just avoid people he didn’t want to see because the world wasn’t their private property.

But what kind of person was Ling Hanyu? If he wanted to avoid someone, it was easy enough.

Since he himself had done wrong, couldn’t she at least step back and stay out of his way?

Song Qingtian was led to the dining table, where Ling Hanyu took one look at the food and lost all appetite.

He tried to pull Song Qingtian away, but it was Song Qingtian who held him down and made him sit.

“I’ve got to go to work later. If you won’t eat, I will—I’m hungry.”

Song Qingtian sat down, ready to eat.

In truth, she wasn’t eating for the sake of food; she was there to watch the show.

She wouldn’t feel at ease until she saw A Xiu dealt with.

A Xiu was different from Shen Congyue and Song Yinyin.

A Xiu had killed countless people; if she wasn’t eliminated, Song Qingtian worried about the safety of herself and Nuonuo.

People hiding in the shadows were always hard to guard against.

Song Qingtian had to be fully prepared.

Ling Hanyu was unhappy and reluctantly forced to sit down, only then did he look at Song Qingtian.

Since he was here, he might as well stay. If he wasn’t going to eat, he’d at least keep Song Qingtian company.

Song Yinyin sat down beside them and struck up a conversation.

“Sister, I’m here to apologize.”

Song Yinyin said to Song Qingtian, even pouring a glass of water for her.

A flicker of understanding crossed Song Qingtian’s eyes—was she trying to play dirty?

“Apologizing is fine, but that surely isn’t your sincerity, is it?”

Song Qingtian put the glass of water aside; she wasn’t going to drink it, nor was she going to let Ling Hanyu drink it.

The water was definitely suspect, but the food might not be.

Song Qingtian planned to make the most of this opportunity and strike back in kind.

“Sister… so what would it take for you to forgive me?” Song Yinyin wore an earnest expression, but Song Qingtian wasn’t buying it.

She knew exactly what kind of person Song Yinyin was.

“If you eat everything on the table, I’ll forgive you. Not only that, I’ll even arrange a job for you at Mr. Ling’s company—secretary or assistant, you can choose.”

Song Qingtian pointed to everything on the table, drawing a simple circle around it.

Ling Hanyu’s face darkened: “There are no positions available at the company.”

“There will be!”

Song Qingtian deliberately acted as if she was sure she could arrange something, but Song Yinyin remained unmoved. She wasn’t stupid—what if Song Qingtian was just bluffing?

Even if that wasn’t the case, once today’s plan succeeded and she was carrying Ling Hanyu’s child, would she still care about a secretary’s position?

Even if she didn’t succeed this time, with the information she held about Ling Hanyu and herself, Ling Hanyu couldn’t possibly ignore her.

Song Qingtian was no genius; she couldn’t rely on luck every single time.

If she succeeded this time, Song Qingtian would never recover.

Thinking of all this, Song Yinyin flatly refused Song Qingtian: “Sister, I really do want to work at jiefu’s company—I’m finally at the age when I should be working—but I really can’t bring myself to eat. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”

With those words, she rejected Song Qingtian and exposed the viciousness of Song Qingtian’s coercion.

There were others around, too. Seeing how aggrieved Song Yinyin looked, they couldn’t help but cast sidelong glances at Song Qingtian, thinking, “Is this how you treat your sister?”

Song Qingtian dismissed it: “Fine, then forget it!”

Song Yinyin’s actions only reinforced Song Qingtian’s suspicions. She wasn’t in a hurry to embarrass Song Yinyin right away; instead, she turned her gaze elsewhere.

Just as Song Qingtian was looking off into the distance, she noticed some people entering the room.

Her lips curled upward, and a beautiful, enchanting smile spread across her face—here they come!
