"Is my relationship with their family not as close as Wu Haofeng's relationship with their family?"

"Wu Haofeng?"

"Yes, Wu Haofeng's father is the actual controlling shareholder of Qingqing Medical. However, Wu Haofeng is a germaphobe and he is unwilling to go up the mountain to dig soil, so he follows Xing Songfeng."

"Going up the mountain to dig soil? You mean the medicinal herbs also belong to their family?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Sheng Shanxing's eyes. He was giving away precious medicinal herbs that he had cultivated for decades.

"The medicinal herbs are generally not sold to outsiders; they are only used by family members."

Wanli Fuguang emphasized the last few words, his eyes glancing unintentionally at Sheng Shanxing's face, as if expecting something.

Similarly, Huang Qiaqia, who was looking expectantly towards the bar entrance, suddenly had a hint of excitement in her eyes.

With a resolute face and a calm confidence, the tall and upright Sheng Shanxing walked steadily forward, followed by the handsome Wanli Fuguang with a leisurely expression.

Huang Qiaqia, who had been all smiles, turned her head and her face turned cold. Her eyes were fixed on Xing Songfeng, who was also sitting on the sofa and frequently raising his glass with Kong Yanfei, his face full of hatred.

Wu Haofeng stood to the side, looking down at Kong Yanfei sitting in the middle, laughing heartily, and Xing Songfeng, who had ulterior motives, drinking and chatting happily.

Huang Qiaqia sat next to Kong Yanfei, her eyes wide and cheeks puffed out, staring intently at Xing Songfeng like an angry frog.

Huang Qiaqia tugged at Kong Yanfei's jade-like arm.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Sheng Shanxing is here."

Kong Yanfei remained indifferent and unmoved.

Standing not far away, Sheng Shanxing stood upright, hands in his pockets as usual, with a cold and stern expression, his thick eyebrows still prominent, and his voice steady.

"Let's go!"

Huang Qiaqia gritted her teeth and lightly stomped her foot. Her indifferent attitude showed no sign of apologizing.

"Kong Yanfei won't go with you."

Xing Songfeng smiled casually, raised his wine glass, and was about to toast Kong Yanfei again.

Huang Qiaqia's eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her eyebrows were furrowed with displeasure. She glared at Xing Songfeng resentfully and pushed away the wine glass that he was about to bring closer to Kong Yanfei.

Kong Yanfei gave a soft hum, her expression indifferent, and downed the red wine in her hand in one gulp.

Sheng Shanxing took a deep breath and had no choice but to take his hand out of his pocket, take a small step, and reach out to tug at Kong Yanfei's arm.

Kong Yanfei frowned, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes. Without any mercy, she shook off Sheng Shanxing's hand and casually threw out a sentence.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

Sheng Shanxing frowned slightly, took a big step forward, and took his other hand out of his pocket. He raised his voice slightly, with a hint of command in his tone.

"Come with me."

"Who are you? We're having a great chat, why should I go with you?"

Kong Yanfei tilted her head slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she looked curious, as if she had never met Sheng Shanxing before.

Xing Songfeng glanced at Sheng Shanxing with disdain, then casually draped his arm over Kong Yanfei's fair shoulder and tossed out a casual remark.

"Yes! Who are you?"

Huang Qiaqia gasped for breath, her eyes wide, and fiercely pushed away Xing Songfeng's arm.

Xing Songfeng's narrow eyebrows were filled with indignation.

"Why did you push me?"

"Why are you putting your arm around my sister-in-law's shoulder?"

What's wrong with me putting my arm around someone's?

"No, my sister-in-law's shoulder..."

"Why not? My new drama is a romance drama, with kissing scenes and intimate scenes, and the other actor is a young and handsome guy!"

Kong Yanfei's indifferent gaze fell on Sheng Shanxing's face. She leaned back softly on the sofa and uttered a casual remark.

Xing Songfeng's facial muscles tightened slightly as he leaned closer to Kong Yanfei.

Huang Qiaqia slapped him hard without any mercy. Xing Songfeng's charming face stared at Sheng Shanxing's slightly gloomy face, and he smiled and quickly waved his hand to explain.

"Work is just normal work, without any ulterior motives or anything else. They're all professional and dedicated actors. Didn't your sister-in-law work before? Right...hehe..."

With a smile on her face, Huang Qiaqia shook Kong Yanfei's arm, hoping she could forgive Sheng Shanxing.

"I was wrong, I was terribly wrong. I dumped my bodyguard and wouldn't listen to advice. What wrong did the others do?"

Huang Qiaqia's voice was soft and gentle, as if it contained honey and was moistened with water. It drifted into Kong Yanfei's ears with a warm breeze.

"Sister-in-law, listen to me..."

Xing Songfeng looked indignant and self-righteous.

"What's there to explain? Kong Yanfei was injured, and he didn't even care or ask about it. He's been working so hard lately, and he hasn't even called her."

"you shut up."

Huang Qiaqia raised his voice, his angry tone like a rumbling thunder. He clenched his small fist, stretched his body, bypassed Kong Yanfei, and punched Xing Songfeng hard.

"You little brat, you hit me, you..."

A flame ignited in Xing Songfeng's eyes. He stood up abruptly, clenched his fist, and was about to throw a punch when suddenly, a force pressed him down onto the sofa.

When Xing Songfeng turned around, Wu Haofeng gestured for him to look. Wanli Fuguang, with a smile in his eyes, was admiring his little girlfriend.

"Kong Yanfei, I've been really busy these past few days, and I haven't been able to message you. You've blocked all our contact methods. I think... I..."

Sheng Shanxing hurriedly explained that his phone had rung, and after looking at the number, he had no choice but to answer it.

Kong Yanfei suddenly stood up, took a step forward, her eyes filled with intense anger, her heavy breathing accompanied by the violent rise and fall of her chest, and with a "smack" of her white fingertips, she knocked Sheng Shanxing's phone away.

Sheng Shanxing frowned, hurriedly looked down to find his phone, and when he looked up, Huang Qiaqia was panting as she chased after Kong Yanfei and the others.

Huang Qiaqia stomped her feet angrily, watching helplessly as Xing Songfeng dragged Kong Yanfei into the car. She quickly turned around, wanting Sheng Shanxing to start the car as well.

"Hmm? Where's Brother Sheng Shanxing?"

Huang Qiaqia looked around but saw no one. A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The phone call just now was very important to Sheng Shanxing, and Kong Yanfei was a little too emotional."

Wanli Fuguang patiently explained to Huang Qiaqia.

"Huh? What call is so important?"

Huang Qiaqia let out a long sigh, her brows furrowing again as she slowly dragged her steps.

Wanli Fuguang happily held up his phone, recording Huang Qiaqia's dejected appearance.

Wanli Fuguang put away his phone, glanced at Wu Haofeng, and replied in a low voice.

"He's going to receive a batch of medical equipment."

Wu Haofeng, who was walking at the back, picked up Huang Qiaqia's schoolbag. When she looked up, Huang Qiaqia was so far away that she couldn't hear her. She...she...hmm? Medical equipment.

"Father, did the eldest young master send you to deliver medical equipment?"

"Yes, the newest and best machinery and medicinal materials are all given away for free. However, they are given to Sheng Shanxing."

"Okay, I get it now."

"Wu Haofeng, you didn't cause any trouble while you were out there, did you?"

"No, I did exceptionally well."
