Especially since that news was from a few years ago, who knows if they’re still there now.

At this moment, she had no choice but to return to the country with Song Yansheng, focusing on her work, and doing what she hadn’t completed yet.

Then quietly waiting for news from her Younger Aunt and Grandma.

Yao Ziwan’s flight was scheduled for 1 a.m. New York Time.

Song Yansheng wanted Shi Nuan not to overthink things and also get some rest.

So after returning home with Shi Nuan, he urged her to sleep and rest up.

Shi Nuan naturally appreciated Song Yansheng’s intentions and, without saying more, nodded and went.

But back in the bedroom, lying on the bed, she just couldn’t sleep.

After so many years, having news about her Younger Aunt and Grandma was too much of a surprise and delight for her.

Ever since her mother’s death, and having lost the warmth of family affection from her Father, she became more indifferent, cold.

But in this world, there’s no one truly indifferent and cold-hearted; they became this way out of disappointment with those around them and the world.

Shi Nuan was grateful for her journey, despite losing a lot, there were still people around constantly giving her warmth.

Like Ji Xia, like Shen Zui, like Song Yichuan... and also, Song Yansheng!

She always felt fate was unfair to her, but now thinking back, fate treated her well after all.

At least compared to how Song Yansheng wandered in foreign lands for seven years.

That’s when Shi Nuan’s phone rang, she glanced at it, it was Ji Xia.

Quickly answered.

"Hello, Nuannuan?" Ji Xia’s voice came through.

Shi Nuan responded with an "Hmm" and said: "It’s nothing major, just noticed your personal account suddenly increased by over seven million, wanted to ask what’s going on..."

Shi Nuan pressed her lips together, saying: "It’s Song Yansheng, he helped me buy some stocks and made the profits..."

"Song Yansheng?" Ji Xia was taken aback: "But the money was deposited into the bank card I got you, the card... Song Yansheng shouldn’t know about it, and you bought TK Group stocks, and all the revenue was credited to that card, could it be..."

Now it was Shi Nuan’s turn to be shocked, "What are you saying? Are you sure it’s that card?"

Ji Xia nodded: "Absolutely sure, that’s why I called you to ask, after all, this is quite a hefty sum..."

Shi Nuan pressed her lips, suddenly at a loss for words.

Thinking she was secretly earning money through Song Yansheng, didn’t expect whatever she did, the man was already clear about it. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Perhaps he deliberately used her name to buy SN stocks, letting her earn a big amount, just to tell her.

She doesn’t need to hide it from him, she can earn his money, or earn through him, any time, anywhere!

Ji Xia didn’t hear Shi Nuan’s response, calling her, Shi Nuan snapped back and said: "Sister Xia, don’t worry, even if... even if he knows, he won’t do anything to me..."

"I know he won’t harm you, I just wanted to know your thoughts... Actually Nuannuan, do you feel that Song Yansheng is trustworthy? If you’re sure, I think we can..."

"No..." Ji Xia hadn’t finished when Shi Nuan directly refused, saying: "I appreciate him helping me, but this is ultimately my own matter, I want to deal with it myself..."

After a pause, Shi Nuan said: "Sister Xia, you should know I’ve endured for so many years for a reason, I can’t let Song Yansheng’s appearance make me forget what I’m supposed to do..."

Ji Xia inhaled deeply on the other side, then said: "Alright, I understand... But Nuannuan, now that you have such a big sum, what do you plan to do with it?"

Shi Nuan’s eyes flickered, then said: "Let money beget money, I plan to continue trading stocks, to oppose the Shi Family and Li Guirong’s mother and daughter, I need strong financial backing... I mean, on my own!"

Shi Nuan never thought about creating a group like Song Yansheng did, but if the Shi Family really collapsed in the future, she indeed needed money to buy back her Grandpa’s former properties.

She needed money, desperately, seven million is too little, she needs more money!

Ji Xia nodded, saying: "Alright, I understand, if you need any help, you can always contact me!"

Shi Nuan responded, as Ji Xia paused for a moment, then said: "There’s one more thing, I think you need to know, I heard Shi Jiaojiao is getting engaged..."

Shi Nuan was taken aback: "Engaged? How come? With whom?"

"I’m not sure about the specifics, just heard some news, it seems to be arranged by your Father, and Shi Jiaojiao didn’t particularly resist, instead she willingly accepted, which makes me really puzzled..."
