Kick out the Phoenix man and marry the richest man!

Zhou Jinxia's tone when she said this could be described as quite pleased.

Jiang Xu dared to do those things to Song Shuning, he deserved to be kicked out of the Song family.

Song Shuning was not actually surprised to hear the news.

Although she had no actual evidence, she fully believed that Song Jingxi chose Jiang Xu just because he was her boyfriend.

I don't have any feelings for Jiang Xu, and now that the show is over, this small role can naturally be put aside.

Song Jingxi inherited Bai Qing's genes. Her goal since childhood was to marry into a wealthy family and become a lady. That's why she would not be so obsessed with love that she would entrust herself to a man like Jiang Xu who has no family background or connections.

Speaking of Jiang Xu, Song Shuning couldn't help but think of the boy in his memory who was as warm as the sunshine.

Forget it, since things have become like this, I might as well bury all of this deep in my heart forever.

She was grateful for the warmth he had given her, but nothing more.

Zhou Jinxia saw Song Shuning drooping her eyelids and thought she was still sad about Jiang Xu's matter.

Matters of the heart are hard to explain, and you can't expect her to walk out of the shadow of the past just by giving her a few words of advice.

"Ningning..." Zhou Jinxia looked at her with some worry, regretting that she had said too much. She had originally wanted to make Song Shuning happy, but she had not expected that it would have the opposite effect.

Song Shuning raised his head and curled up the corners of his mouth.

"I'm fine, Xia Xia. Even if Song Jingxi didn't have any intentions towards Jiang Xu, Jiang Xu would have made similar choices in other matters. It's a good thing to know what kind of person he is, isn't it?"

Zhou Jinxia looked at her expression carefully and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you think so. I was worried that you would become depressed."

"Of course not." Song Shuning smiled generously, "Have you forgotten what my current goal is?"

Zhou Jinxia's eyes lit up, "Deal with the Song family!"

"Yes!" Song Shuning responded confidently as he saw Zhou Jinxia regain her energy.

"But..." Zhou Jinxia frowned again, "You are not in the Song Corporation at all now, and, excuse me, uncle values ​​Song Jingxi more, right? Do you have any plan?"

Song Shuning smiled and said, "What plan do I have? Just ask for it."

-

A week after the birthday party, Song Shuning specially picked out a bright-colored dress and asked Ling Ruiyuan out for dinner to thank him for his help at the birthday party.

Let's discuss marriage as well.

Originally, Song Shuning wanted to get the marriage certificate with Ling Ruiyuan the next day after the birthday party.

She and Ling Ruiyuan didn't have any feelings for each other, they were just helping each other, so there was no need for any ceremony.

In this way, if Ling Ruiyuan needs her to attend any occasion, she can also contribute her part.

Ling Ruiyuan thought of her injured face.

"I'm busy this week, how about next week?"

Song Shuning agreed readily; she had no requirements on time.

Then she thought of her injured face and realized that her current appearance was not suitable for taking photos.

A week later, Song Shuning's face was completely free of swelling and back to normal, and she sent a message to Ling Ruiyuan again.

This time Ling Ruiyuan agreed readily.

The meeting place was chosen to be an Anhui cuisine restaurant that Song Shuning liked very much.

She had specifically asked Wei Shen before, and it seemed that Ling Ruiyuan didn't have any particular favorite cuisine, so she could only choose one that she thought was good.

The two of them will spend more time together in the future, so they need to get to know each other.

Since he didn't have anything he particularly liked, she would show him what she liked first.

"I asked Assistant Wei, and he said that Mr. Ling didn't have anything he particularly liked, so I picked this Anhui cuisine restaurant. Do you think Mr. Ling would be able to eat there?"

Song Shuning handed him the menu and asked him to order first. Her bright smile and bright clothes made people happy.

Ling Ruiyuan took a look at the menu, ordered two dishes, and then shifted his gaze back to Song Shuning.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, Miss Song, don't be too nervous."

"What a coincidence! I really like both dishes that Mr. Ling ordered."

The weather is good today, and Song Shuning is in a good mood too. He speaks in a brisk tone with a slight rise at the end of his words.

Without looking at the menu again, she added a vegetarian dish and ordered two bowls of soup.

"Their soup is really delicious. If Mr. Ling has no dietary restrictions, you can try it to see if you like it."

Ling Ruiyuan nodded in response.

"My face is much better now."

"Ah?" Song Shuning was confused by his sudden words, but still reacted quickly.

"Yes, after all, it has been a week. I still want to thank Mr. Ling for the ice towel that day."

Ling Ruiyuan shook his head, "You've already thanked me for this before."

"Haha, yeah." Song Shuning laughed dryly and felt like he didn't know how to respond.

"I still want to thank Mr. Ling for his help that day. I was really a little discouraged at that time, but luckily Mr. Ling helped me to testify."

Song Shuning lowered his eyelashes, thinking about what happened that day again, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never want to bow to them again like he did before.

Thinking of Ling Ruiyuan who was across from her, she perked up, "This is one of my favorite restaurants. It's been around for many years. The brand is guaranteed."

As he said this, he gave a thumbs up to show that it was great.

Ling Ruiyuan was also amused by her cute appearance. He nodded and followed her wishes to ignore what happened on the birthday party.

"Last time, I wasn't in good condition, but now I've recovered and there's no trace of it." Song Shuning took a breath, "We can talk about getting the marriage certificate now."

Song Shuning spoke the word "get the certificate" lightly.

She always felt that this matter was far away from her, and it always felt a bit unnatural to talk about it.

Ling Ruiyuan nodded, "There's nothing much to say, Miss Song, if it's convenient for you tomorrow, we can go there tomorrow."

He showed the calendar page on his phone to Song Shuning, "Tomorrow is the sixth day of the first lunar month, a good day."

"That's fine on my end. How about we make an appointment for tomorrow?"

After thinking about it, Song Shuning spoke out what was in his heart.

"Boss Ling, if you meet your true love in the future, please let me know. I will definitely not affect your feelings and will divorce you immediately."

It would be good for everyone to make these things clear first. Mr. Ling probably doesn't think highly of her. She said this mainly because she was afraid that she would think too much about it in the future.

After all, they will have a long time to spend together in the future, and President Ling is her backer.

Since some things will not happen, you should give up the inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible.

Song Shuning spoke for a long time but didn't hear any response from the other side.

She looked up and saw Ling Ruiyuan looking at her with a frown.

Song Shuning panicked, "As for the property, of course I will leave with nothing. We can first notarize the property and agree on the contract."

The Mr. Ling in front of her was a thoughtful person who spoke little. He just stared at her, and she didn't know what she said was wrong.

"It's all little things."

After a while, Ling Ruiyuan spoke.

"We still need to sign the agreement. This will save us a lot of trouble when we get divorced, and President Ling will feel more at ease."

Ling Ruiyuan said a few polite words, but she couldn't just accept them like that.

Song Shuning's eyes fell on Ling Ruiyuan, trying to guess his emotions carefully.

Ling Ruiyuan remained noncommittal.

The waiter came to serve the dishes and saved Song Shuning. She quickly and enthusiastically introduced the dishes, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

"How did you figure that out?"

Ling Ruiyuan raised his head and asked seriously.

Song Shuning was stunned and thought about it. Should he be talking about marriage?

"Boss Ling said that he needs a wife of suitable status. I actually also need a backer."

She responded tentatively.

Seeing that Ling Ruiyuan did not refute, it seemed that his guess was right.

"To be honest with you, Mr. Ling, I have thought it through very clearly. Meng's company originally belonged to my cousin, and I will never take a penny. But Song's company was built with my mother's hard work, and it was able to rise to prominence thanks to the influence of my grandfather's family.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by President Ling. The chances of my dad giving the company to Song Jingxi are much higher than to me. I don't want Song Jingxi, who has no blood relationship with our family, to get the company."

She then looked up at Ling Ruiyuan, "I am currently in Song Corporation. First, I don't have an actual position, and second, I don't have my father's help. If I want to take over Song Corporation, I can only rely on President Ling's help."

Ling Ruiyuan just nodded, "I understand."

Song Shuning always felt that someone in a high position like Ling Ruiyuan would look down on the methods of a small character like her.

I thought Ling Ruiyuan would say something to refute her, but in the end, he just nodded.

It’s just... quite unexpected.

She changed her mind and thought of her first step. "However, can we keep our marriage certificate a secret until I get the shares from my dad?"

"All up to you." Ling Ruiyuan agreed readily.

Song Shuning had told Ling Ruiyuan everything she wanted to say during the meal, and she felt a little relieved.

Thinking that Ling Ruiyuan found me just to have a wife in public, but now he has to do it secretly, I felt a little guilty.

After the dishes came, he always added more for Ling Ruiyuan, especially the stinky mandarin fish that Ling Ruiyuan ordered.

Ling Ruiyuan is a man with a well-informed family background. Why would he order such a special dish if he didn't like it?

Moreover, she had secretly observed that when the stinky mandarin fish was first served on the table, Ling Ruiyuan didn't seem to like it at all.

She tentatively picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and gave it to him at first. Ling Ruiyuan ate it happily and said it was delicious.

Ling Ruiyuan had a blank expression on his face, but in his heart he still hoped that Song Shuning would leave him alone and just enjoy her meal.

Because he really didn't like this stinky mandarin fish.

He just said it was delicious because he hoped Song Shuning would not be too restrained in front of him.
