Shi Nuan didn’t deny it, nodding: "Yes... I indeed cannot just hand over the Shi Family to you..."
"But..." She paused for a moment, then continued, "At the very least, I can let the Shi Family be emptied out, no longer belonging to its current owner. As for the future, whether it belongs to Mr. Yu, Song Yansheng, or me... us, it depends on our capabilities!"
At eleven o’clock, Song Yansheng finished a meeting and returned to the office.
Yao Ziwan followed him, informing him of the afternoon schedule and several documents that needed his immediate approval.
However, he had no interest in listening, simply picking up his phone and dialing out a call.
Seeing this, Yao Ziwan could only keep silent, knowing that Song Yansheng was undoubtedly calling Shi Nuan.
Song Yansheng was a workaholic; she had deeply understood his responsibility and seriousness toward work over the past two years.
But since being with Shi Nuan, work had long taken a back seat for him. Anything related to Shi Nuan, regardless of its significance, was always a priority.
The call quickly connected, and Shi Nuan answered, telling Song Yansheng that she was already in the car on her way to the TK Group.
Song Yansheng smiled: "So, how was the visit to the Shi Family?"
Shi Nuan thought for a moment and replied, "Not bad... It’s much bigger than before, but still can’t compare to TK!"
By then, Song Yansheng had reached the office door, and Yao Ziwan hurried to open it for him as he stepped inside.
The smile on his lips blossomed with the bright sunshine outside the window: "In that case, do you want to intern at TK?"
"No..." Shi Nuan almost immediately refused. She said, "I... I have to go to the Shi Family!"
Shi Nuan didn’t speak with hatred, but Song Yansheng could hear it.
Indeed, Shi Nuan wanted to reclaim her grandfather’s business, to investigate her mother’s cause of death; she certainly had to go to the Shi Family.
What he’d just said was merely a casual joke.
Sometimes, Song Yansheng really wished Shi Nuan could just be a simple Shi Nuan.
Without bearing so much, not seeking revenge, not fighting for anything, just peacefully staying by his side and enjoying his care and love, that would be enough.
But, how could that be possible?
Just like him, having encountered so many upheavals back then, several close brushes with death, yet hasn’t he persevered?
If he could forget the past, not pursue it, focus on managing TK Group well, and be filial to his mother, wouldn’t life be easier?
But, how could he forget?
Even if he could forget the harm he had endured, what about his father who lay on the hospital bed for fourteen years without awakening, and the solitude and hardships his mother faced during those fourteen years?
He understood Shi Nuan, just like he understood himself.
Neither of them will let go, nor forget; even when burdened, they dare not slack off for even a moment.
Sighing lightly, Song Yansheng said, "When you arrive, wait for me downstairs for a while. I have a few documents to handle; once I’m done, I’ll come down to meet you!"
Song Yansheng didn’t suggest that Shi Nuan come up to TK Company, which relieved Shi Nuan. She quickly agreed, saying, "Then handle your documents well, no need to rush. I’ll find a place nearby to sit for a bit and consider it a break!"
Song Yansheng nodded: "Okay!"
The call ended, and Song Yansheng sat down in the CEO chair just as Yao Ziwan came in with a cup of coffee.
Seeing the man already focused on approving documents, Yao Ziwan didn’t say much, about to exit the office when Song Yansheng suddenly called out to her.
