Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Xin pointed at Song Ning and asked Yang Li, “Who’s she? Do you know her?”

Yang Li pushed Ye Xin to the lawyer’s side and said, “Go home immediately. Don’t ask any questions. I’ll look for you after dealing with these matters. If you don’t want any negative news about you surfacing tomorrow, it’s best if you obediently listen to my words!”

Lawyer Jin held Ye Xin’s arm and whispered in her ear, “Miss, let’s look for Mr. Ye right away. Let him speak to Mr. Mu. Don’t make the matter worse.”

Lawyer Jin knew very well that he had to bring Ye Xin to Ye Cheng now. They would be screwed if something were to happen. There was no way Mu Chen would help them.

Ye Xin was, naturally, aware of all these points. It was just that she could not accept the fact that she had lost. Moreover, she had been humiliated. Contrary to her assumptions, Song Ning was not a pushover at all. She had also seen the way the director had looked at Song Ning. What did the director call Song Ning earlier? No, she told herself she must have heard wrongly. She had to be confused due to the chaos earlier. There was no way it could be true.

When Lawyer Jin saw Ye Xin seemed to be wavering, he hurriedly continued to persuade her. “Miss, we should let Mr. Ye deal with this.”

Ye Xin gritted her teeth. ‘Fine. I’ll let this matter go for now. However, it doesn’t matter who Song Ning is, I won’t let her get away with this!’

Ye Xin glared at Song Ning for a moment before she looked at Mu Chen tearfully and said, “Mu Chen, please calm down. I’ll look for you again when you’re no longer angry.”

Jiahui watched Ye Xin get into her car before she turned to look at Mu Chen and asked, “Hey, Mu Chen, do you promise to keep to your words?”

Mu Chen asked in confusion, “What are you talking about?”

“You said the only time you’ll be separated from Song Ning is when one of you passes away.”

The corners of Mu Chen’s lips curled up into a faint smile as he said reassuringly, “Of course. I’ll keep my word as long as I live!”

Jiahui glared at him with her round and big eyes as she said threateningly, ‘I’m warning you; if you dare to mistreat Song Ning in any way, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!”

Mu Chen was slightly taken aback by Jiahui’s words. When he regained his senses, he said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll take your warning to heart.”

Cheng Che pushed his glasses up. He was thoroughly shocked. ‘What the hell?! How can such violent words come out from the mouth of this sweet little girl?’

Most importantly, not only was Mu Chen not angered, but he even reassured her!

Cheng Che looked at the parties involved in shock. What on earth was happening? He simply could not believe his eyes.

The point was, not only was Mu Chen not angered by this, but he was all smiles as he reassured her!

At this moment, Song Ning patted Jiahui’s shoulder and said, “Return first. I still have something to deal with. Please help me come up with an excuse and explain this matter to our colleagues and classmates in the hospital.”

Jiahui patted Song Ning’s hand. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.”

When Jiahui glanced at Mu Chen, he nodded at her before he said, “Cheng Che will send you off…”

Cheng Che was about to step forward when Jiahui said, “The hospital’s just across the road; there’s no need to send me off. Stay here and protect Ning. There are so many people targeting her, after all.”

After Jiahui finished speaking, she did not wait for a reply before she hurried away.

Cheng Che watched Jiahui with his mouth agape. ‘What a cool girl!’

At this moment, Song Ning finally turned to look at Pan Hao. She extended her hand and said, “Director Pan, long time no see.”

Pan Hao stepped forward and shook her hand. “Hello, Ning Xia.”

Pan Hao had already calmed down at this moment. Nevertheless, his eyes still reddened when he heard Song Ning greeting him.

Then, Song Ning reached out to shake Yang Li’s hand as she said, “Ms. Yang Li, long time no see.”

Yang Li reached out with both her hands to shake Song Ning’s hand. Her eyes were slightly wet, and she was at a loss for words. “Ning Xia…”

Cheng Che lifted his hand to the bridge of his nose and pushed his glasses up again. He moved in front of Song Ning to look at her.

At this moment, Mu Chen grabbed Cheng Che by the back of the collar and pulled him back as he said “Leave her alone…”

Cheng Che struggled as he exclaimed, “Mu Chen, they called her Ning Xia!”

Mu Chen did not bother to spare Cheng Che another glance.

Then, Cheng Che asked, “Both of you are acquainted from way before?”

Song Ning hesitated for a moment. It was obvious from their interactions that this was not their first meeting; they had known each other from before.

Mu Chen smiled faintly as he said, “The world is quite small.”

…

The group found a small cafe and sat down.

Pan Hao rubbed his hands together as he asked, “Ning Xia, how are you all these years?”

Song Ning looked at Pan Hao and smiled. She did not reply to his question. Instead, she said, “I watched all your works over the past few years. They’re great!”

Pan Hao shook his head and sighed. “They’re not as good as ‘Yi Yao’. However, that’s mostly because I wasn’t lucky enough to meet such a good screenwriter, actor, and teman again.”

Song Ning smiled gently. “That’s not true. I watched the movie you released last year; it was exciting and kept me at the edge of my seat.”

Pan Hao did not further comment on his movie. He looked at Song Ning intently as he said, “You realized your dreams and became a doctor in the end. This is really great! You truly shine in any industry you work in. I bet Liang Zhen would’ve been delighted if she were still alive to see this!”

Pan Hao wiped the tears from his eyes when he finished speaking.

Song Ning’s eyes were red as well as she reached out to pat the back of Pan Hao’s hand that was resting on the table. She did not say much; she believed everything she wanted was better conveyed through her silence. After a brief moment, she looked at Yang Li and said with a smile, “Ms. Yang, I heard that you’ve become an elite manager in the entertainment industry…”
