CHAPTER 221: CHAPTER 221 SUSU CELEBRATES CHINESE NEW YEAR’S EVE AT THE YE FAMILY! 1

She admitted she was starved for love, especially longing for those harmonious, warm family moments lit by a thousand lights, where fathers were kind, children were filial, and siblings respected each other.

Actually, Grandpa Su had given her a set of apartment keys; she now had a place to live and absolutely no need to cling to the Ye Family.

But she coveted the Ye Family’s warm home atmosphere and had never mentioned moving out.

At that moment, Su Cheng called, "AWOO, AWOO, AWOO! Sister Si, is it true? Really true? You’ve actually latched onto Mo Yinhe’s mighty thighs? Does that mean I’m Mo Yinhe’s third brother now? When he sees me, will he have to call me his big brother-in-law?"

"Keep dreaming. It was just a crisis PR stint."

That’s how Si Mingjing explained.

From the other end of the phone, Su Cheng howled, "Do you think I’m a fool? If Mo Yinhe didn’t genuinely like the girl, would he let you use him for crisis PR? Mo Yinhe must have fallen for you! Talk about impressive—it’s my Sister Si who’s amazing! In just over two months, you managed to win over Mo Yinhe! Let me tell you, don’t forget that I’m your greatest matchmaker. Remember to give me a big red envelope!"

What does it have to do with you? Si Mingjing thought. Mo Yinhe is the Demon King in my heart; even without you, we would have crossed paths eventually. However, to say that Mo Yinhe had fallen in love with her was nonsense. She had always felt that Mo Yinhe saw her as a substitute for Bai Jiusi. She never considered Mo Yinhe in the past because she was convinced she couldn’t replace a dead person in Mo Yinhe’s heart. But after seeing Bai Jiusi...

Si Mingjing’s heart felt more settled.

Bai Jiusi hadn’t died, and that woman was nothing special after all. Moreover, Bai Jiusi had abandoned Mo Yinhe and was preparing to marry someone else. If such a woman could become the love of Mo Yinhe’s life, then there was no reason Si Mingjing couldn’t drive Bai Jiusi out of Mo Yinhe’s heart! Mo Yinhe was her Demon King. He had signed a Dragon Pact with her and, in her heart, had accompanied her as she grew up. To say there were no ties between them would be a lie; she cherished him highly. In her heart, he was the closest family member to her in this world, besides her mother. That’s why she was willing to give Mo Yinhe a chance to pursue her. She hoped even more that one day, all of Mo Yinhe’s advances toward her would not be because she resembled Bai Jiusi’s young dragon form, but rather because she was Si Mingjing! Simply because she was Si Mingjing! Therefore, before that, she didn’t want to be at a disadvantage in her interactions with Mo Yinhe, to lose her heart first. Once she succumbed first, she might forever become a substitute in Mo Yinhe’s heart, and her pride couldn’t tolerate that. She was willing to give Mo Yinhe the chance to pursue her, but she also had to maintain her pride and self-respect.

Having realized this, Si Mingjing’s mood suddenly brightened.

Su Cheng then said, "Oh, right, Sister Si, the day after tomorrow night is New Year’s Eve. Grandpa wants you to come to our house for the reunion dinner."

"We’ll see."

Su Cheng immediately understood.

"OH, OH, OH, you want to spend New Year’s Eve with my brother-in-law, right? Got it, got it! I’ll talk to Grandpa. We won’t disturb your good time. Aim to get registered next year! I’m waiting for you to soar high as a phoenix, then I’ll come cling to your mighty thighs."

Si Mingjing felt her cheeks warm up. Does he have no filter?

"There’s one more thing," Su Cheng said.

"What is it?"

"You’ve gained temporary control of Song Group? Grandpa is worried that, as a new leader, you won’t be able to handle those difficult people. He asked if you want an assistant to be sent over. This assistant originally worked for your maternal grandfather. After your grandfather passed away and Song Tengfei took over the company, he was kicked out of Song Group. My grandpa then took him in. If you need him, he’s ready to come back and help you at any time. I can vouch for this person’s capabilities. He worked with your grandfather for decades. He understands the development history of Song Group better than even Song Tengfei and has intimate knowledge of many of the group’s senior executives. You can trust him."

Really? That’s great!

"I want him!" Si Mingjing’s eyes curved slightly with enthusiasm.

The one thing she was currently lacking was someone who knew Song Group inside out and could assist her.

"Alright, I’ll send you his contact information later. His name is Xi Tan, and he’s over forty. You can be polite and call him ’Uncle Xi.’ Considering your maternal grandfather’s kindness in recognizing his talents, he could become your trusted confidant in the future."

"Hmm, please thank Grandpa Su for me."

"What’s there to thank for? I’m your third brother."

After saying that, Su Cheng hung up the phone.

He then sent Xi Tan’s mobile number to Si Mingjing.

Upon receiving the contact information, Si Mingjing reached out to Xi Tan immediately and cordially called him ’Uncle Xi.’

The two talked for half an hour.

Xi Tan stated that he would come to the Song Group to help her after the New Year.

Si Mingjing thought, If I could lure Xie Changyuan over as a professional manager and have an experienced individual like Xi Tan to watch over the company, ensuring checks and balances along with collaboration, then even if I didn’t get involved in the group’s management, Song Group would still be firmly in my grasp. Of course, the premise is to take down the Song Family! Otherwise, if Song Tengfei were to walk out of the police station unscathed tomorrow, then my entire day’s efforts would have been in vain!

Fang Jing had already leveraged her connections to find the best lawyer in an attempt to bail Song Tengfei out. She wouldn’t allow Song Group to fall into Si Mingjing’s hands!

Fang Jing went to the police station with a lawyer, intending to arrange bail for Song Tengfei.

However, the police station reported, "This case has hit the trending searches and caused a severe negative impact. The authorities have instructed us to deny bail. Mr. Song is currently listed as one of the suspects. If the final investigation proves Mr. Song did not partake in the murder, he will naturally be released. For now, it’s best you go home and wait for news."

Fang Jing, unwilling to give up, spent the entire night without sleep, pulling strings everywhere she could.

The next day, she ran around all day to no avail.

She still couldn’t manage to get Song Tengfei bailed out.

Fang Jing was infuriated. The only thing that could cheer her up was the surge in Song Group’s stock price!

It had soared right from the opening of the market that morning.

By the end, it hit the daily limit!

Si Mingjing too was monitoring the surge in Song Group’s stock price.

She never anticipated that Mo Yinhe’s speculation from yesterday would come true. Her net worth hadn’t just doubled—it had skyrocketed! The five-billion investment project was going to go down the drain, though! But you win some, you lose some, right?

Si Mingjing’s smile was so wide that she couldn’t close her mouth.

Sitting in her office, she heard many employees in the public office area cheering outside.

Everyone had thought that the Song Family’s scandal would severely hit Song Group!

But nobody expected that Si Mingjing would turn the tide and usher in the brightest moment for Song Group!

When Si Mingjing left the Group’s building after work that day, all the employees who saw her had a fervent look in their eyes, as if they were seeing off the most honorable hero of the Song Group!

Today was also the last workday before the New Year, and each employee went home with an extremely excited mood to celebrate the festive season!
