After thinking for a while, Yan Mo proposed a plan: "I have some shares in the Su family and the Song family. Let's find an opportunity to explore the possibility of a share swap."

“The Liang and Qin families are a bit troublesome,” Yan Mo tapped his index finger lightly on the coffee table a few times, a small gesture he made when he felt the problem was thorny. “I don’t have any shares in them. The current head of the Liang family is known for being very powerful, and even Liang Mu is not to be underestimated. If we want to take over his shares, it’s almost impossible to avoid being ripped off by the Liang family. The head of the Qin family is also afraid of his wife. We are all men, and it’s not convenient for us to contact his wife in private.”

Yan Yu had also heard that the Liang family head was now handing over more and more company affairs to his nephew Liang Mu, but he couldn't help but wonder, "Doesn't Liang Qiancong have a daughter? Why is he so focused on cultivating his nephew? A while ago, we put pressure on him together with the Qin, Song and Su families, but we didn't see him showing much affection for his daughter. He clearly had the power to fight against us, yet he kicked his daughter out of the house without saying a word."

If he treats even his own daughter this way, how can one expect him to have much affection for his nephew?

Yan Yu was utterly baffled by Liang Qiancong's actions.

Yan Mo instructed Yan Yu, "This is the strange thing. I don't think things are that simple. Have someone keep an eye on them, including his daughter."

Yan Su unexpectedly spoke up at this moment, "Just have someone keep an eye on Liang Qiancong and Liang Mu, I'll handle Liang Qing's situation."

"You..." Yan Yu was taken aback, then asked as if he remembered something, "Oh right, I hadn't thought of that before you mentioned it. You and his daughter have a history, don't you? I forgot to ask you before, but now that you mention it, I'm curious, did she really play with your feelings?"

Yan Su glanced at him and asked in return, "Do you think that's possible?"

Yan Yu knew he was unhappy, but still teased him, "It's hard to say. I've seen that girl a few times at banquets, and she is indeed outstanding in appearance. You're young, and it's possible that you're just starting to experience love."

Yan Su got angry as expected. He retorted, "I never like listening to what you say, but I agree with what you said about the danger of putting feelings on outsiders."

"You brat!" Yan Yu was annoyed by his words and smacked him. "How is it that you don't like what I said!"

Yan Su grunted, glared at him angrily, and said nothing.

Yan Mo saw the two of them start arguing again, and his head started to throb. Seeing that Yan Yu was about to hit him again, he quickly spoke up to bring the matter back to the point, "Alright, then you can handle this, A Su. It would be best if you could find a way to break through, but don't force it if you can't. We've endured for so many years, what's a couple more years?"

Yan Su sensed the concern in his words and her tone softened slightly, "I understand."

Yan Mo gave Yan Yu a few more instructions. After finishing their business, he had dinner delivered. After everyone finished eating, they went home to take care of their own affairs.

On his way home, Yan Su happened to encounter the tail end of a meteor shower. While he was waiting at a red light, he heard someone exclaim, "There's a shooting star! Make a wish!"

He looked up and only saw the tail of the shooting star. He looked at the people making wishes with their eyes closed by the roadside with disdain in his eyes.

When the light turned green, he drove off the car without hesitation, leaving only a trail of exhaust fumes behind.

He drove his car to his newly purchased apartment in the complex. When he came out of the elevator, he saw that no light was coming out of the door opposite.

That makes sense; they've already set up camp, so they're probably going to spend the night on the mountaintop.

He entered his home using the password. It was pitch black. He turned on the light, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and reviewed the information he had gathered that day.

It seems that Liang Qing and Song Zhiji have a special relationship, especially Song Zhiji, whose attitude is completely different from before. He is certain that Song Zhiji has rekindled his old feelings for Liang Qing, and even his feelings are stronger than before.

But Liang Qing...

Thinking of Liang Qing, he paused in his motion to flick the ash from his cigarette. The ash landed on his pants, burning a small hole, but he didn't feel any pain when it burned his skin.

Liang Qing's transformation was indeed significant, but Yan Su would never believe it if she said she liked Song Zhiji. Although her attitude had improved considerably by today's standards, there was not a trace of love in her eyes when she looked at Song Zhiji.

From this perspective, the two of them have not yet crossed the line of friendship.

So the question returns to the starting point: what caused Liang Qing's change? What exactly is her purpose?

In Yan Su's eyes, Liang Qing's change could not possibly be because she had repented and come to her senses; she must be plotting something again.

If it's about money, that's impossible. Even though she was kicked out of her family, anyone with eyes can see that something fishy is going on here.

Only Su Heng, who is well protected by his family, and Song Zhiji, who has not yet been exposed to the business world, would believe it.

His previous actions against Liang Qing weren't about seeing her material poverty; what he wanted was her spiritual depravity.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned sinister, and he uttered a curse in a low, hoarse voice, "Liang Qing, I will not let you go."

……

Once Liang Qing and her group arrived at the bathing area, they separated by gender and went to their respective sections to shower. Xu Xi hadn't spoken a word since initially inviting her to shower with him.

The shower rooms are all single rooms, offering good privacy. The decor is also very new, and the facilities are quite trendy, presumably to attract more visitors.

After Liang Qing finished showering, Xu Xi was standing at the door of the bathroom, gently drying her hair with a towel, unaware of Liang Qing.

Liang Qing walked over to her and said, "Let's go to the common area to dry our hair."

Xu Xi nodded, and the two walked side by side toward the public area.

Xu Xi appeared hesitant and uneasy throughout the journey, opening her mouth several times before closing it again.

Perhaps because she was holding it in, her fair cheeks flushed red.

Although the public area is unisex, it is separated from the shower rooms, just like the shower rooms. Each room has a table and a chair, with a hairdryer and disposable combs on the table. The only drawback is that there are no mirrors. When I came in, I heard someone complaining. Apparently, a customer had slipped and broken a mirror, cutting his hand, and demanded compensation from the store. To prevent similar accidents from happening again, the store replaced all the dressing tables with mirrors with ordinary tables.

There was only one empty room left. Liang Qing asked Xu Xi to sit down first. She dried her hair first, and then Xu Xi dried her hair.

Liang Qing picked up a comb, ready to brush her hair, but seeing her anxious expression, she asked, "Xu Xi, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Ah..." Xu Xi was startled, not expecting Liang Qing to see through her. She stammered, "I have... a question, I wonder if I can ask you, sister."
