Su Wen was taken aback by Lu Jianan’s question. She scrutinized her to ensure she wasn’t joking, and she became more serious, though she didn’t intend to fully cooperate. Initially, she wanted to make things difficult for her, but then realized it would be pointless.
“I’ve met him once, but I’m not familiar with him,” Su Wen replied honestly.
“Not familiar?” Lu Jianan echoed, seemingly in disbelief.
“Should I be?” Su Wen retorted sarcastically. “Do you think I can still be friends with the Song family?”
Su Wen made no effort to hide her disdain for the Song family. There was no need to pretend at this point. The Song family should understand that this wasn’t just a conflict between her and Song Zishan; it was a deep-seated grudge between Su Xuewen and Song Jiaming.
The grudges between their two families were profound and irreconcilable. Su Wen wasn’t going to change her stance just because Song Jinyan had a good attitude. They were all adults, not children who could be swayed by a few kind words.
Lu Jianan was taken aback by the hateness in Su Wen’s words. She suddenly recalled an old secret and realized that Song Zishan’s hatred for Su Wen stemmed from Su Xuewen crippling her father’s legs. Su Wen, in turn, despised the entire Song family.
Impossible, Lu Jianan thought with sudden clarity. Zishan must have lied about Big Brother Song liking Su Wen. Whether or not he had feelings for her, it would never amount to anything. Su Wen would never reciprocate because she loathed the Song family.
Moreover, Su Wen had Zhou Hengyang.
Lu Jianan wasn’t delusional enough to think that just because she liked someone, that person must be the best man in the world, or that all women would like him without question. Such thinking was crazy and unrealistic. Su Wen didn’t have to like Big Brother Song. She had someone better in Zhou Hengyang.
As for Zishan’s claim that Big Brother Song was disregarding his family because he liked Su Wen and wanted to please her, that was false. Big Brother Song might have his faults, but it wasn’t because of Su Wen.
“I’m sorry. I asked something I shouldn’t have. I’m very sorry,” Lu Jianan said, nodding gracefully and smiling at Su Wen. “I still have work to do, so I won’t disturb you. Goodbye.” She then walked decisively towards her office.
After Lu Jianan had left, Zhou Yan, who had been observing, asked, “Does she suspect that Song Jinyan likes you?”
Su Wen was surprised. She hadn’t considered this implication but quickly shook her head. “I don’t think so. I think she was trying to verify something with me.”
“Maybe, but that doesn’t mean Song Jinyan doesn’t like you,” Zhou Yan said, looking at Su Wen as if she were a rare treasure. “How did you do it? That guy, Song Jinyan, is quite powerful. He’s on par with my eldest nephew. They’re like two kings who can’t see eye to eye.”
“What do you mean?” Su Wen asked, puzzled.
“You don’t know?” Zhou Yan’s expression was exaggerated. “Do you think it was a coincidence that you met Song Jinyan at the restaurant last time? I can tell you for certain, it wasn’t a coincidence.”
“It wasn’t a coincidence?” Su Wen was taken aback. “You mean Song Jinyan arranged it? That can’t be. It was just a spontaneous meal. Hengyang chose the restaurant himself.”
“I’m sure it wasn’t a coincidence,” Zhou Yan insisted confidently.
