Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Song Zhizhi’s bedroom.

Nie Wenzhi’s tone remained gentle as she said slowly, “I heard from Xiaofei that you and Yi Wenhan broke up?”

“It’s not exactly breaking-up. Yi Wenhan and I never officially dated.”

“But I remember you telling me that you like him. Did he do you wrong? I won’t stand for my daughter being mistreated!” Nie Wenzhi spoke indignantly.

“No, it’s not that. I’ve just suddenly understood something.”

“Hmm?” Nie Wenzhi frowned.

“Yi Wenhan and I are from two different worlds. We won’t end up happy together. It would be better for me to marry Ji Baijian,”Song Zhizhi answered diplomatically.

“But you told me before that you don’t care about his origin, that you like him as a person. I almost got into a fight with your father supporting your relationship with Yi Wenhan. It took a lot of effort to gain your father’s approval. Why do you suddenly have such thoughts now? Besides, you know Ji Baijian’s physical problem. If you marry him, you won’t be happy,” Nie Wenzhi tried to persuade her. She then speculated, “Is your father forcing you again? Don’t worry, I’m definitely on your side. I can’t stand by and watch my daughter throw away her happiness for the rest of her life.”

“No, you’re overthinking it. I just suddenly came to the realization myself.” Song Zhizhi added a little impatiently, “I hope you won’t interfere in my love affair, Aunt Wenzhi.”

Nie Wenzhi did not expect Song Zhizhi to reject her kind intentions so bluntly. Before this, Song Zhizhi would tell her everything and listen to her advice as long as she showed Song Zhizhi a little gentleness.

But Song Zhizhi was suddenly keeping her distance now. Nie Wenzhi could feel Song Zhizhi repelling her. It was really suspicious.

But Nie Wenzhi was someone with a lot of composure. She understod that she must face small setbacks calmly in order for the big plan to succeed. So, she did not push Song Zhizhi further. “I was just afraid that you’re being treated unfairly. Well, since this is your own decision, I naturally won’t have anything to say about it. But if anything happens, remember to tell me at once. I’ll definitely be on your side.”

“Thank you. I know.” Song Zhizhi smiled.

It was a sweet smile that did not betray her real feeling.

After offering more words of affection, Nie Wenzhi finally walked out of Song Zhizhi’s room.

Song Zhizhi smiled coldly at Nie Wen Zhi’s back.

Nie Wenzhi would never let her marry Ji Baijian so easily. She would definitely take actions. And the more she tried to do, the more mistakes she would make. All Song Zhizhi needed to do now was wait.

After leaving the room, Nie Wenzhi’s expression instantly changed.

Song Zhizhi was indeed different from before. Nie Wenzhi even felt that Song Zhizhi had become very difficult to control. ie Wenzhi had spent so much time and effort to gain the trust of the entire Song family. At this critical juncture, she definitely could not let Song Zhizhi spoil her big plan!

When Nie Wenzhi returned to her room, she saw that Nie Xiaofei had already left to go back to her birthday party. Nie Wenzhi contemplated alone for a while before she picked up the phone and made a call.

“Hi, mom.”

“How many times have I told you not to call me mom so carelessly,” Nie Wenzhi’s voice was stern. freewebn(o)vel

“Sorry.” Irritated, Yi Wenhan deliberately added, “Aunt Nie.”

Nie Wenzhi ignored Yi Wenhan’s sarcastic tone. She said bluntly, “Song Zhizhi is a little different from before. But don’t you mind how she’s different, all you have to do is think of a way to make peace with her and please her. If Song Zhizhi were really to marry Ji Baijian, everything we’ve worked so hard for all these years will go down the drain!”

“Is it really necessary to put in so much effort to please her? That woman will always crawl to me whenever I beckon at her.” Yi Wenhan said with disdain.

“You better take this matter seriously. I don’t care how easy or how hard she is to trick, just make sure you get her under your control! I don’t want my hard work all these years to go to waste!”

“Fine,” Yi Wenhan agreed, albeit impatiently.

Nie Wenzhi hung up the phone. She was feeling a little annoyed despite herself. What exactly had gone wrong in the way she dealt with Song Zhizhi? She had always been extremely meticulous. There was no way she would have overlooked anything with regards to Song Zhizhi.

Nie Wenzhi was still stuck pondering this question when Nie Xiaofei’s birthday party ended in the evening. That night, Nie Wenzhi helped Song Shan into bed and lay down next to him. She could not help asking, “Do you know that Zhizhi broke up with Yi Wenhan today, dear?”

“She did?” Song Shan was a little surprised. He did not expect his daughter to be so resolute in her decision.

“Yeah. I can’t wrap my head around it. Why would they suddenly break up when they’ve been getting along so well? Did our Zhizhi get mistreated?”

“I don’t think so. Zhizhi has just figured it out,” Song Shan said with relief.

“Figure what out?” Nie Wenzhi asked, pretending not to understand.

“The importance of marrying someone from a well-matching family. I think it would be a tragedy for our Zhizhi to marry Yi Wenhan.”

“How can you call true love a tragedy? The real tragedy is for her to marry Ji Baijian. Everyone knows about his condition! I don’t care, I’m not going to stand by idly if our Zhizhi is unhappy,” Nie Wenzhi said with an air of displeasure.

“I know you love Zhizhi, but so do I. Zhizhi is my first baby girl, how can I not love her? I’ll never force her to do anything against her will. She’s doing this of her own volition.”

“But dear, I can’t shake the feeling that something’s off. Maybe Zhizhi’s just doing this because she had a fight with Yi Wenhan? If she changes her mind again, what would the Ji family think? I worry for Zhizhi’s reputation if she keeps changing her mind.”

“Don’t you worry. Zhizhi is a sensible girl. She won’t go back on what she’s promised me. I believe in Zhizhi. I believe she won’t do anything that’ll put us in a tough spot.” Song Shan vouched for Song Zhizhi.

Nie Wenzhi was smart enough to know that saying any more at this point would just make Song Shan suspect her of sowing discord.

She could only grit her teeth in silence.

She would never let Song Zhizhi marry into the Ji family, no matter what. Never!𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢
