Chapter 1631: Chapter 1320: Complicated Emotions (2)

Shen Jiu’er paid him no mind, and the two of them bickered as they walked away.

The hallway was left with only Song Yichuan and Song Qingyang.

Song Qingyang supported Song Yichuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, don’t take it to heart, tidy up and go back to the event!"

Song Yichuan frowned tightly, his expression sorrowful, and he said, "Sister, I suddenly regret it, I feel I shouldn’t have done this, and I’m basically deceiving Nuannuan, after all, it was Second Uncle who saved Nuannuan, not me..."

"Xiao Chuan—" Song Qingyang took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Chuan, is it appropriate to say such things at this moment? You have to realize that your engagement party with Nuannuan is underway, if you say you regret it now, it wouldn’t be fair to Nuannuan. Though... though it was Second Uncle who saved her, I believe if you had been there, you would have risked everything to save her too, right?"

"But..." Song Yichuan wanted to say, but Second Uncle also likes Nuannuan, and he’s liked her for many years!

Song Qingyang continued, "Xiao Chuan, things are as they are, don’t overthink it, what you should do now is treat Nuannuan well in the future, don’t let her down. After all, it’s my fault. I was the one who suggested you get engaged to Nuannuan and made you ask Second Uncle to make Nuannuan think it was you who saved her..."

"Sister, I didn’t mean that, I..."

"Alright..." Song Qingyang said, "Stop thinking about it, let’s go back. Nuannuan is still waiting for you in the hall. Today you two are getting engaged, and from today, Nuannuan is your fiancée, your fiancée!"

Song Yichuan perhaps was moved, biting his lip, in the end, said nothing.

Soon, the siblings left together, Yu Dou stood by the door, listening to everything, and suddenly understood that Song Yichuan’s engagement to Shi Nuan was instigated by Song Qingyang.

But why did Song Qingyang encourage her brother to get engaged to Shi Nuan? Could it be that she found out Song Yansheng likes Shi Nuan?

Indeed, she must have known, she likes Song Yansheng herself, naturally not wanting Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan to be together.

And if Song Yichuan and Shi Nuan get engaged, regardless of the final outcome, the future Song Yansheng would be unlikely to be with Shi Nuan.

Song Qingyang played her cards well!

Sure enough, as he thought, the biggest threat to Shi Nuan was Song Qingyang!

It was on that day, Yu Dou felt the time had come, he needed to be closer to Shi Nuan to protect her.

Not long after Shi Nuan and Song Yichuan’s engagement, he entered the Shi Family and became the deputy general manager.

At that time, Shi Yuanbo’s health was not very good, and he entrusted many company affairs to Yu Dou.

He planned to completely restructure the Shi Family, presenting his proposal to Shi Yuanbo. After reviewing it, Shi Yuanbo furrowed his brows and said, "This is a very big and risky reform!"

Yu Dou responded calmly, "Yes, but without reform, the Shi Family will surely die. Even if not literally, it will just struggle along, you should understand this!"

Shi Yuanbo lowered his voice and said, "But if that’s the case, I would need to hand over the Shi Family entirely to you. What reason do you have for me to trust you?"

"Because in my heart, Xu Hua is more important than anyone else in this world. The Shi Family exists because of her, I wish to safeguard it for her!"

Shi Yuanbo’s brows knitted and he said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll be angry with you for so shamelessly expressing your feelings for my wife in front of me?"

"You’ll naturally be angry, but you’ll also feel more at ease with me because of it. Moreover, you need me to save the Shi Family, and without taking a single share, I will devote myself to the Shi Family with all my capabilities to bring it back to life. Only I, only I, Yu Dou, can do this!"

That day, Shi Yuanbo agreed to his request, although Yu Dou could tell that Shi Yuanbo was unwilling.

Not long after, Shi Yuanbo handed the Shi Family over to him to manage, while he retreated to the background, focusing on nurturing his son and taking care of his health.

Yu Dou then began a large-scale reform of the Shi Family, and later the Shi Family saw improvements in all aspects, establishing a foothold in T City.

Shi Yuanbo seemed to finally trust him completely.

During this period, he consistently kept an eye on Shi Nuan. After her engagement to Song Yichuan, she didn’t seem as bad as he imagined.

She dedicated herself to her studies and life, her nature still cold and indifferent, but her smiles were not as numerous as before.

Song Yichuan treated Shi Nuan quite well, and Shi Nuan appeared to trust him a lot. Their time together felt like mutual support, which was touching.

And also heart-wrenching.

At that time, he thought that perhaps Shi Nuan chose to get engaged to Song Yichuan not just for the shares, but also for a form of redemption.
