Happy New Year. A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses handed over a palm-sized gift box.
"This is a New Year gift from Nie Zong. The earlier message was also his greeting; he’s stuck abroad."
Yun Zhi Yue understood. It was likely that he had done something to anger his father; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so quiet for this long. She knew that the box contained an expensive gift, and as usual, she accepted it. If she didn’t, Zhang Song would insist on leaving it with her anyway, and she could always find a chance to return it later.
Yun Zhi Yue and Zhang Song didn’t have much to talk about. Just as she was about to leave, Zhang Song spoke again: "Do you remember a few years ago when I came looking for you?"
Yun Zhi Yue’s expression darkened. "So what? Besides delivering a message to Nie Yi, your real task is to relay that message on behalf of him."
Zhang Song smirked. "Sometimes I really admire you. Faced with such temptation, you’ve managed to resist for so long."
Nie Zong never touched other women; the only one he truly cared for was you, and that person knows this well. In the beginning, that person told you that as long as you bore Nie Zong's child, your future would be limitless. He could even stop Nie Yi from bothering you.
Yun Zhi Yue scoffed. "What kind of temptation is that? How can one know the joy of fish if one is not a fish? I already possess an infinite future without needing to trade it for a child."
Zhang Song sighed in resignation. "You’re really stubborn; perhaps that's why Nie Zong is so fixated on you. But now the situation has changed."
Nie Zong doesn’t have many years left to live, and that person only has this one son. He doesn’t care about whatever relationship you have with anyone else; he only cares whether your belly can bear grandchildren.
"Miss, you’ve always been smart enough to know what you're facing. Don’t involve the innocent; I won’t say anything harsh. Here’s Nie Zong’s address."
Holding the card in her hand, Yun Zhi Yue stood at the door for a moment before finally tossing it into the trash without even looking back. Threatening her? Ha!
She couldn’t stay in this country, but she could still go abroad! Now was the perfect time to venture into international waters; if worse came to worst, she could settle down overseas. She refused to believe she couldn’t escape the threats posed by this father and son duo.
The president is impressive? What’s so great about that! She had pent-up frustration after all this during the New Year.
However, just Zhang Song seeking her out had pushed her strategy value up higher than she had anticipated.
Jian Qinzhi was neither warm nor cold; she couldn’t see through what he was thinking.
Taking a deep breath, she entered the room and casually placed the gift box aside on the table without showing any signs of abnormality.
Yun Xiaoxiao directly asked, "Yun Zhi Yue, what did he want from you? Zhang Song is not someone you should be around."
"Oh, it's nothing much, just a New Year greeting, and I'm here to deliver a gift on behalf of Nie Yi."
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned, "Why are you accepting his gift? It's not like you can't buy one yourself." With that, she quickly snatched the gift box and opened it. This sister was truly beyond words.
Inside was a bracelet encrusted with blue diamonds, leaving Yun Xiaoxiao stunned. It was simply beautiful.
Ji Yan glanced over, "This is the only Ice Maiden's Tears in the world. It has long reached collectible status and fetched an astronomical price at auction last year. I didn't expect it to be in Nie Yi's hands."
Yun Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed and muttered, "So what if it's expensive? Yun Zhi Yue doesn't care about that."
"If you like it, keep it. I'll pay Nie Yi double the amount; consider it a purchase through him," Jian Qinzhi said nonchalantly.
Yun Zhi Yue chuckled, "In situations like this, aren't you supposed to question why I'm accepting his gift?"
"I know what kind of person you are; nothing else matters," Yun Zhi Yue replied.
Her smile faded slightly, but this trust made her feel comfortable.
