"My wife mentioned that she heard about Miss Song being harassed by someone during their dinner yesterday, which has caused her a significant amount of trouble," Shen Yi said straightforwardly.
"Who’s harassing Ziyi?" Song Zihe furrowed his brow, unaware of the situation.
"It’s the Qin Family who came to propose a marital alliance with the Song Family not long ago," Shen Yi explained.
"Qin Yanbo?" As he spoke, Song Zihe’s eyes narrowed, a hint of danger flashing within.
Shen Yi didn’t reply, but his meaning was clear enough—it was indeed Qin Yanbo.
"There was indeed such an incident. The Qin Family came to our door proposing an alliance with Ziyi."
"No, I really don’t understand, where does the Qin Family get the face? With their status, how dare they consider marrying Ziyi?" Upon finishing his sentence, Song Zihe couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, provoked to mirth by his indignation.
At this moment, Song Zihe had lost the strategic aura he had when discussing business with Shen Yi in the office, and it took drinking half a glass of tap water from the table to calm himself down.
Song Zihe, with a stern face, asked Shen Yi, "Did Wanwan tell you anything else?"
Song Zihe understood by now that Wanwan must have been worried about Ziyi, which was why she asked Shen Yi to remind him.
"I don’t know if you’ve heard about Qin Yansen. That man is a loose cannon, and Qin Yanbo isn’t much better," Shen Yi said.
"According to Wanwan, right now Qin Yanbo is only sending harassing messages to Miss Song, but with Qin Yansen’s precedent, we feel it’s best to be cautious," Shen Yi continued.
"Miss Song means that currently, Qin Yanbo hasn’t done anything to her, so reporting him is useless. It’s easy to deal with when nothing has happened, but once something does, it’ll be too late," Shen Yi relayed Wanwan’s concerns.
In his previous life, Shen Yi had heard that Qin Yanbo didn’t succeed, but whether there had been any incidents along the way, he wasn’t sure. He only remembered that later on, Song Zihe had both Qin Yanbo and Qin Yansen brothers thrown into prison.
Together with that, the Qin Family fell from power. The outside world was buzzing with rumors, saying Qin Yanbo surely must have succeeded, or else Song Zihe wouldn’t have gone that mad.
"Qin Yanbo and Qin Yansen used to be thick as thieves, with Qin Yansen being prone to violence, and Qin Yanbo..." Shen Yi implied as much as he needed to without continuing further.
Song Zihe nodded, "I get it, and I owe you one for this."
"It’s nothing about owing favors, just that Wanwan was a bit worried," Shen Yi said with a light chuckle.
Song Zihe didn’t dwell on manners any longer, but he’d taken today’s events to heart nonetheless.
When Shen Yi arrived home from work, Ye Wanwan immediately asked him, "Did you talk to Brother Song about Ziyi’s issue?"
Shen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, rolling up his sleeves as he replied, "Yes."
Ye Wanwan approached him, "Brother Song must have scolded Ziyi, making her complain that I betrayed her."
Of course, Song Ziyi wasn’t truly blaming Ye Wanwan for being nosy; she simply wanted to vent to Ye Wanwan about how unreservedly Song Zihe had scolded her.
Shen Yi washed his hands, turning to look at Ye Wanwan, "Can you rest assured now?"
Ye Wanwan paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, smiling goofily at Shen Yi, "Mhm."
Now that Brother Song was aware of the situation, he would surely protect Ziyi and not let Qin Yanbo, that beastly man, get even the slightest chance.
