"Enough..." Nuannuan shouted, biting her slightly pale lips, "Song Yansheng, that’s enough—"
The past she didn’t want to mention, the history she didn’t want to uncover, was now laid bare by Song Yansheng so openly. How could she bear it!
Song Yansheng’s fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel a few times, and he glanced at her sideways, his finely chiseled brow forming a faint whirl...
There was some heartache.
But if he didn’t push her to the edge, how would she know that the lifeline she wanted only he could provide!
Only he, Song Yansheng, could give!
She wanted revenge, and only by clinging to him obediently... no one else but him!
At the same time, he hoped that from now on, she would not continue to belittle herself, nor feel any guilt towards him!
The response he wanted needed her to stand on equal footing with him to accomplish!
He hoped he could be loved with dignity, while loving a dignified her...
The pain gradually faded from his eyes, and he curled his lips, a charming smile spreading across his face, continuing.
He said, "Nuannuan, some things can’t be avoided just because you want to escape from them... Do you want me to say it again? I, Song Yansheng, am not so easily dismissed!"
"..." Nuannuan’s heart constricted once more, she bit down hard, her pale lips almost breaking, the fingers resting on her leg clenched, her whole body tensed.
Song Yansheng was not in a hurry for her answer, he continued driving with a calm expression, the sky gradually darkening, as the sun set, the light became less distinct.
This day, which had seemed endless at the start, was finally coming to an end, time quietly passing, ultimately unretainable!
So, besides cherishing it, what else can we do? Right, Nuannuan?!
"Second Uncle..." Finally, Nuannuan spoke, "Since we’ve laid it all out, you can just tell me straight—what is your ultimate goal in marrying me?"
Song Yansheng said calmly, "Shi Family was built with money from your grandfather, currently at least half of the Shi Company is from your grandfather’s former assets, and just in your stepmother Li Guirong’s hands, there’s twenty percent of Shi shares. Watching all this, would you be content? If I’m guessing correctly, you want to rely on me to uncover the cause of your mother’s death, reclaim your grandfather’s assets, and return them to your Younger Aunt... But do you think your Younger Aunt, who is now settled abroad, would still want them? However, seeing those assets fall into Li Guirong and her daughter’s hands, you probably wouldn’t be content either..."
Nuannuan’s eyes trembled as she looked at him, "So... Second Uncle means?"
At this moment, the car had already entered the avenue leading to Song Mansion, on the long broad road there were few cars, few pedestrians.
The man glanced sideways, gently casting a look at her, a smile at the corner of his eyes, "Do you think handing those assets to me, your husband, to manage... how does that proposal sound?"
After hearing his words, Nuannuan’s body trembled, a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes!
Song Yansheng’s implication was that he wanted Shi Company? How could it be?
But on second thought, why wouldn’t it?
In the past two years, with Yu Dou’s involvement, Shi Company’s development momentum was good, though not comparable to TK Group, in T City it was at least somewhat significant.
Although Song Yansheng’s TK Group had already become a prominent figure in T City’s business circle, after all, it had only been developed for eight years, compared to Shi, especially the former Xu Family industries under Shi, its foundation was still lacking significantly.
In certain traditional industries, TK Group’s market share might not necessarily surpass Shi.
