Song Lingge relayed Xue Suyun's words to Qin Sihai almost exactly.

After listening, Qin Sihai looked at the two younger men of similar age opposite him and asked, "What do you two think?"

"This whole thing started because of me. I don't think Xia Jiaojiao will give up easily until she learns her lesson. We can't control whether our senior compromises, but we can choose not to."

Qiao Nansheng remembered his promise and would pursue this matter to the end.

Qin Sihai remained noncommittal, then looked at Song Lingge: "Lingge, what are your thoughts?"

"Professor Qin, I don't intend to pursue this matter further..."

“Lingge—” Qiao Nansheng interrupted Song Lingge abruptly.

Just now in the car, she clearly said that she had discussed it with Qin Sihai, but now it sounds like she didn't discuss it with anyone at all.

Qiao Nansheng did not want Song Lingge to be swayed by Xue Suyun's ideas.

Although Xue Suyun's experience is very sympathetic, Song Lingge is different from her. As long as she doesn't give up, Qiao Nansheng is willing to do everything he can to get justice for her.

"Let her finish speaking. When did she become so impatient?" Qin Sihai glanced at Qiao Nansheng with displeasure.

Qiao Nansheng can remain calm and composed in his work and studies, but he easily loses his keen judgment when it comes to relationships, especially when it comes to Song Lingge.

Qin Sihai saw through it all; Song Lingge wasn't a brainless person, and she had her own set of logic in doing things.

If Qiao Nansheng insists on doing things his own way and tries to control her with his own ideas, it will be easy for her to back down.

This will be very detrimental to their relationship in the long run.

Song Lingge reassured Qiao Nansheng with her eyes: "Senior Xue Suyun was bribed by Director Xia's benefits, and all that's left is me as a witness. I'm unharmed, so even if we can find evidence to prove that Xia Jiaojiao did something detrimental to me, it's really meaningless."

She looked at Qin Sihai and Qiao Nansheng again and said firmly, "I know that Professor Qin and you will definitely do your best to help me, but I am a semi-businesswoman. I will think about whether it is worth paying such a high price and effort."

These are Song Lingge's true feelings.

Qin Sihai remained noncommittal: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Song Lingge smiled slyly: "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you. I was thinking that since Principal Wan called you so early in the morning, he must value your opinion. Why don't you step forward and give them face? Let Xia Jiaojiao go this time."

Qin Sihai laughed, pointed at Song Lingge and said to Qiao Nansheng, "Look, even Lingge knows that you must give before you can take. You are still too impulsive and not steady enough."

Even though Qin Sihai is Qiao Nansheng's maternal grandfather, Song Lingge still didn't want to see Qiao Nansheng get scolded, especially since Qin Sihai had already yelled at Qiao Nansheng several times today.

"To be honest, I've been corrupted by the mentality of merchants for too long, and I always like to consider whether something is worthwhile no matter what I do. Nansheng is different; he always puts people first. I should learn from Nansheng."

Qin Sihai understood Song Lingge's unspoken meaning and said nothing more. As long as the young couple had a good relationship, they, as elders, were happy to see it.

"Boom boom boom——"

Qiao Nansheng opened the door, and Hu Lixia poked her head out and asked, "Are you done talking? Old Zhao and Old Lin are here."

"Grandma and the others are here?" Song Lingge was genuinely surprised.

Although Zhao Zhangguo and Lin Xiuzhi appeared unconcerned, they secretly didn't want Song Lingge to suffer even the slightest grievance.

In their minds, if Song Lingge was afraid of Qin Sihai, then she should just reduce contact with him. There was no need to force Song Lingge to get close to him just because Qin Sihai was nice.

So much time has passed this morning. Then he disappeared somewhere, and a little while later, Hu Lixia called to say he was back, but then went to Qin Sihai's study.

The elderly couple were so worried about their only granddaughter that they came over.

"Old Qin, tell me the truth, has Ling Ge gotten into some trouble?" Zhao Zhangguo asked.

Song Lingge quickly ran to their side, took their arms, and said, "Grandpa, how could this be? Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to cause trouble?"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhangguo answered without hesitation.

Song Lingge was speechless for a moment. Lin Xiuzhi said, "Even if you don't cause trouble, there's no guarantee that someone won't provoke you. You're always hiding things from us because you're afraid we'll worry. Doesn't that make us worry even more?"

Hu Lixia nudged Qin Sihai with her elbow: "What exactly happened? Tell Lao Lin and the others, so they don't keep worrying."

Qin Sihai was taken aback and unconsciously scratched his temple. He never expected that at his age, he would still have to help two younger people lie.

The events of the past two days must not be told to them. If they knew that Song Lingge was really hiding things from them, they would probably be terrified by the slightest thing in the future.

Zhao Zhangguo and Lin Xiuzhi were already in poor health, and now they have suffered the loss of their child. In addition, they have a lot of unresolved issues in their hearts, so it's best not to let those trivial matters cause them any more worry.

"It's really nothing. It's just that Lingge isn't very famous anymore, so the school wants me to ask her to come back to the school and give a speech or something."

Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge gave Qin Sihai a thumbs up in their hearts; they never expected that the most liar person was here.

After hearing what he said, Song Lingge even felt that it might be true, and perhaps the school really had such a plan.

For some reason, Qin Sihai's words always carried an air of absolute authority.

"That's a good thing! The three of you always talk behind closed doors. What's wrong with saying this? Are you afraid we'll be too happy?" Hu Lixia teased them.

"It's because Lingge doesn't really want to go."

"This is a joyous occasion, why wouldn't you want to go?" All eyes turned to Song Lingge.

Song Lingge swallowed hard. How was she supposed to answer that?

When it really matters, we still have to rely on Qin Sihai.

"She's just become famous, and now is the time for her to accumulate experience and make a breakthrough. Being too high-profile is not conducive to her growth. Writing a few more impactful novels will give her more confidence," Qin Sihai said seriously.

"Yes, that's true. It's remarkable that you have such a mindset at your age." Hu Lixia didn't hold back her praise and couldn't help but tug at Lin Xiuzhi's arm affectionately, "Oh my! How did you teach her? How did you raise such a wonderful child? Let me learn from you."

Lin Xiuzhi and Zhao Zhangguo's tense emotions were finally relieved, it seemed that Song Lingge was really alright.

They went to exchange educational experiences, and Song Lingge, Qiao Nansheng, and Qin Sihai exchanged a silent glance.

From then on, the three of them established the most stable and secretive small alliance among the four families of Song, Qiao, Qin and Zhao.
